Just an FYI, I messaged ASUS on their FB page about the bootloader. They said that the unlocker is ready and they are just waiting for the final legal agreement that will be needed to proceed. Should be seeing it very soon....fingers crossed!
Im glad. But im still gunna wait a little. Probally untill some roms start showing up

I will wait a week or two as well. I want to see if they can find a way around using the Asus bootloader unlocker. I hope we get a lot of developers working on the TFP. The more the merrier
I'm surprised they didn't release it earlier. It'll free them up of people making anymore warranty claims on bad hardware. That's what scares me a bit. I'll wait until ROMs show up first. So far, no hardware issues for me.

im interested in a way around it too. similar thing happened on epic 4g touch. unlocking the bootloader caused a counter to be set off and an ugly triangled appeared in the boot splash (proving unlocker was used). but after a while, they figured out how to do it without the phone recording it was unlocked. i want this for the prime, in case i ever have to send it in

thanks for s/s
@strechwookie - since they are using only a few SBKs for all Transformers I think the SBKs will soon be read from the tool so you can unlock without it.
Could be like the Atrix too, when unlocking it's bootloader you permantly burn a fuse... so while you may be able to "hide" the unlock on the boot screen by returning to stock, a savvy RMA tech could still tell if you had originally unlocked the bootloader.
Sent from my CM7 Atrix 4G
I rather think they are going the HTC way. This tool won't be some kind of *.exe you'll download but a webinterface.
You enter your serialnumber and it generates an unlock code based on the serial number.
This was ASUS will always know if you used their tool or not.
The only chance for us getting away with warranty is to write some kind of keygen which does the same as ASUS' tool.
If they are doing it right this won't be possible.
Of course someone could always try to hack the bootloader AlphaRevX style, but i guess not many would be brave & experienced enough to try that.
normally, and with every other device i have owned i have not hesitated to unlock bootloader and void warranty as i have been confident in its build quality, but with this, not so sure. I have already returned one for the reboot issue, an the current one i have has some kind of screen touch issue where when i touch the screen it creates a sort of watery thing under where i touch- only in one particular area of the screen, and there is a part under that which is too white... hard to explain , but long story longer, i dont trust Asus' build quality to void my warranty totally.
I still believe it should be like the nexus'- why should rooting automatically void ALL warranty? If they stuff up the screen, battery, chip etc how would me running a custom rom affect that (assuming it hasnt- eg. OC to extremes etc)...
so i will be RMAing my prime before unlocking and then i will think about it long and hard and hope for someone to come up with an unofficial way to unlock... plus Asus will probably screw us over like HTC did with their pseudo unlock...

Not really, its normally fairly easy to reverse a root and put it back to factory settings so they will never know.

Hey everyone, bootloader is finally almost done i will be posting thread shortly and will also be posting my perma root solution. I have a post on aicp/lollipop community on google
---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------
I am in the final stages of coming out with a apk called PERMA root. It will root while also giving you the option to unlock bootloader. I am testing on two more devices before release. I want to leave nobody unhappy. Therefore any device you may have will work. As new phones are introduced it will only take a couple days to activate from my end. Please be patient because as you already know this is some hard work and long hour testing.
Tested devices: (list includes all carriers) (multiple devices in each listed brand tested to include s4 and s5) Lg, Samsumg, htc, and currently testing last of others. Thanks for the patience.
Be welcome to share accross XDA

He was claiming root and bootloader unlock. But instead of getting everyone riled up he probably should have made it a covert job and then "Bam" here you go. Kinda like when the Rezound got s-off. But the thread got way out of control and it's locked now until he can prove he has something substantial. If you'd like to check it out see the first post in this thread and go to original post quote.

I'm just about ready to toss this phone in the garbage.
I miss the days of flashing my phone every week to the latest and greatest when I had my original galaxy note for 2 years.
My 2cents
Wow really your going to get frustrated and throw out a phone that costs 400-700$ because you can't flash roms endlessly yeah i get tw sucks and I want to have better options for roms but even if I lost root I would not throw out my note 3.

I feel the same way about my galaxy bloat 3. First and formost i need a phone that works as a phone. This phone has the worst service and software out of any phone i've owned. As far as the sortware goes i thought i would be able to fix it with cm11 but thanks to verizon and me not doing my home work a head of time i'm stuck with the ****tiest phone i've ever owned. I can't wait for july to replace it with a motorola product.
I must be getting old. I don't see a problem with the stock note 3 and the bloat. Yeah the signal could be better but that is on Samsung more than Verizon. And yes Verizon could shorten the approval process for updates and Samsung could drop tw and put out updates in line with the nexus line as all manufactures should the ui should be a app on the app store and be little more than a launcher for people to choose to use if they want.
Not going to happen. If your on big red you likely don't have a choice or it is the best service in your area or your grandfathered into unlimited. The Samsung phones were the only ones with 2 features I am unable to give up battery that is removable and sd card.

If this phone doesn't end up with Lollipop that's rootable or an unlocked bootloader before February, I'm throwing mine at my Verizon Rep's face and picking up a Note 4. We bought Note 3's for only two reasons. The first reason was that the other Note's were easy to root and flash to CM and the second reason was because of the S-Pen. At this point I would take a loss on the S-Pen functionality just to be rid of all of the Samsung Bloat on my phones.
Wow. sounds like you all should be buying an international variant. trashing you phone or going to a N4 with a locked bootloader is not going to solve your problem. I am pleased with my Rooted N3 and have no issues and will stay with Samsung for a while. Root is nice but it's not going to cause me to put my phone in the trash, there are other things in life that are far more important
Yeah way to stick it to Samsung by throwing out last quarters model and buying the brand new one.
I see both sides, though we didn't have ten or fifteen roms to flash, this phone was not a waste at all. It's a solid phone for my use. But flashing roms has become a hobby and I don't like not doing that either. So even though most of the developers are going to the Nexus. I just don't like having no SD or removable battery either. And how are they handling any replacements for a phone currently not carried by Big Red? May not be the place for me to ask that but I'm curious.
You might want to check out the Note 4 forum for scripts that can disable a ton of the bloatware without root. I am still rocking rooted MJE so I can't test it with kitkat. It supposedly will run on most android phones. Just wanted to mention a potential solution until root achieved.

So locked note 3 to a locked down note 4 when you are stuck with the options of motorola or sony for unlockable phones that are on verizon.
IF you really have to have CM 12 you are going to have to either make sure the phone you get at that time has an unlockable bl or is a nexus.
And as for the note 4 it is only a slight upgrade over the note 3 and both will someday get lollipop note 4 sooner than the note 3...

Its about time they gave the Note 2 the respect that it deserves in my opinion this phone is one of the best smartphones out there Im on 4.1.2 unlocked rooted with philz touch recovery running Alliance Rom build 30 with the lastest Agni kernel and the phone is super fast and kicks ass so Lollipop can easily be handled by this phone so Im happy to hear the good news
Yeah this is pretty exciting news!
Hoping for an early release date, which seems unlikely though.
I was shocked to see this post and the other news sites report on it, pretty cool.
Amazing that Samsung is still supporting this device!

I know the feeling. They've shot past the EOL time window completely. Shame too, the note 2 is still a great phone.
Not to mention it seems like development has slowed down or stopped altogether for this phone.
Finally upgraded to the Note 4...retail edition, locked bootloader and no root. Think I'm done with Samsung haha.
Nexus phones seem to be the next best choice.

Unfortunately I like so many others who have the "retail" version of the Note 4, are waiting on devs to get root for us.
They have temp root but that's not root at all. It goes away with every reboot / shutdown of the phone...
Now if you do get the Note 4, never take OTA updates, and get the developer edition of the phone! It's expensive though.
All things considered I love the Note 4! My only gripes are root and the battery life on Lollipop. I can downgrade to KitKat to fix that but what's the use for temp root? Great phone tho a major improvement over the Note 2.

I moved on to the LG G3. Seriously beautiful phone, great specs, and fairly easy to root and with bumped kernels it's like having the bootloader unlocked (even if it's not). So yes you can have CM/AOSP ROMs on the G3 easily.
This totally sucks. The Note 2 is one of the best phones ever created. It's a total shame to stop updating it. No real replacement exists.
I just ordered my Huawei Mate2 G4 from Amazon which should arrive next week. I figured I would try and get a jump start on what I should know about the phone.
I have never hacked a phone before and my previous phone was not a smartphone. I am switching off the Verizon network when the phone arrives since they are CDMA (at least for now so I have heard) and going to AT&T probably.
I have been watching videos on youtube about a way to use your phone for free using wireless and google voice / hangout. That is something I would really like to explore before I decide what (if any) carrier I choose. I have also watched a few videos about rooting your device and installing a new ROM. I believe my device will come factory unlocked loaded with Jellybean. So of course the first thing I will want to do flash to the latest OS (Probably Lollipop according to the posts I have read here so far).
Since I am completely new to this stuff I am a little afraid of it but I am well versed with building computers and flashing BIOS on motherboards. I imagine it's not much different than that.
If anyone has a good plan of what to study I would love to hear it.
Also, since I just ordered my phone I would also be interested on your opinions on my phone choice. If you think I should have gotten a different phone I think I still have time to cancel the order.

By the way, it probably is not unlocked unless you got it specifically unlocked from someone. Anyway, I'd encourage you to read a lot of the threads here. And take your time. Unlock it. Root it. Try a few ROMs. Enjoy.

How likely do you think it is that root will be achieved for the Note 7? Which variants do you think it will be achieved for?
Personally, I'm hoping for a legit root method, but I won't be holding my breath since I expect Samsung to follow the same path they did with the US models of the S7.

Most likely Samsung will do the same as with the s7. International or exynos version will get root and snapdragon US ones will be locked down, sadly. But I also hope that Samsung listens to the people and decides not to lock the bootloaders after all.

They will lock down the bootloader in the U.S. Version 100%. Carriers pay big money for Samsung to lock the bootloader which prevents tethering and deleting bloatware which companies make a lot off. They also want to force you to use their apps... Root is not likely especially since the engroot kernel was leaked, Samsung will create to policies to ensure that doesn't happen again

If you get out of the relatively small group of people who root and run custom roms, what Samsung is doing is a good thing. The are providing a secure device which you need especially with things like Samsung Pay. I know most people here including myself don't like it but I understand it. There are so many people rooting and installing custom roms that have NO clue what they are doing it is crazy. I couldn't hardly stand following the custom rom threads with all of the same stupid questions and issues repeated over and over again. Everyone has to start somewhere but people don't even read the OP anymore it seems like.
I highly doubt it will be easy to root the carrier variant of the Galaxy Note 7. Similar to what they did with the S7.
I'll have TWRP up a few hours after someone mentions an OSRC kernel release to me, which should hopefully happen on August 2nd. (or 22nd? I'm not sure what the real release date will be but release date is the one they release sources on)
From there you can feel free to flash SuperSU 2.76 (or newer if available by then, but not older!) and enjoy day 1 root just as the S7/S7 edge did. (I think?)
This will only be for the F/FD/G/K/L/S/(hopefully W8) Exynos 8893 variants however.
I will be waiting for test users with these models to hit up the #twrp IRC channel to run builds and confirm everything is ok if I don't already have the N930W8 model on hand. I am currently somewhat in fear of it being a Snapdragon locked device right now due to it being lumped in with the US variants for FCC certification so haven't pre-ordered until I know for sure. L:

I couldnt see bloat as a huge reason to lock the devices since basically everything can be disabled without root.
I figure its a matter of Samsung pay, if you cannot flash unauthorized software you cannot trip knox and leaves more devices samsung pay capable and thus making more money for Samsung through transactions and using their market saturation to push out android and apple pay.
Guys if I purchase the international version will my carrier be able to denied conectiin? I never done this before. I am still using the note 3
