Yes, it's time to shoot the messenger. You're bringing anxiety levels up without any proof of increased difficulty in unlocking whatsoever. While the S4's newest bootloader hasn't been unlocked, this doesn't mean the N3's bootloader will be as difficult. Chainfire's post you linked from the same day the ROMs were released said he worked around the software and rooted the ROM. As always, NEVER take an OTA when you're unlocked/rooted. EVER. While the N3 may ship with tighter security, it will eventually be bypassed. With such a popular model as the N3, they will always leave something open to be exploited on the initial bootloaders (the ones that are given out at trade shows like IFA, not the first retail versions. these system dumps provide most unlocking access (listen to the first part of this video ala "pre-release kernel")).

Ummm...we know right now that all the carrier's bootloaders will be locked. The only phones sold with unlocked bootloaders either say it somewhere (specifications\network) or all Developer Editions of phones are unlocked. You can wait a month or two for a DE version of the N3 to come out, just like the N2.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
Here's why I thought (and still do) that this thread is newsworthy. Samsung announced a slew of new consumer-focused Knox features on September 4 at the Berlin event that were important enough to have JK Shin talk about them in his brief 11 minute intro (see 11:42 in the video below) of a presentation that lasted over an hour. Knox and/or security are obviously important and newsworthy enough to Samsung for the discussion of them to be given priority.

That same day, September 4th, an update to the international non-carrier aligned SGS4 introduces these changes that Chainfire documented:

SELinux enabled and set to "restrictive"

A more secure bootloader

A new warranty status indicator inside the bootloader

Inability to downgrade once the new bootloader's installed

I don't personally believe it's a coincidence and if those changes which I'm assuming are Knox related are being applied to the SGS4 my assumption is they'll be included on the N3 to support Knox out-of-the-box. You and others can draw any conclusions you want and I'll be the first to admit I'm making assumptions based on personal interpretation of events.

As for misleading or alarming people my first post gave people links to the evolving SGS4 thread where the changes are being discussed as well as a link to Chainfire's G+ account so they could get the latest info. I also said the devs are working on getting the former flexibility back. So those four things Chainfire documented could mean nothing and be easily worked around or could be a big issue with Samsung phones that support Knox going forward. If not from a freedom and development perspective perhaps from a warranty perspective. Regardless, me raising an issue for people to be aware of before forking over hundreds of dollars for a phone is less harmful than others trying to sweep it under the rug. Time will tell.

umm tmobile and sprint do not lock their bootloaders
[Galaxy Note 3 General] docnok63:
No one is trying to sweep the issue under the rug. I would hope anyone pre-ordering now knows that EVERY carrier's bootloader will be locked coming straight out the box. If you're buying the phone with some fantasy that the excellent devs here on xda will have it unlocked within hours or day of your purchase, then you're mentality is twisted. It's not their job. More often than not, they don't even initially own the device they're working on. They do it for a hobby to benefit others.

I've pre-ordered my Verizon N3 knowing that early adoption is the key to successful unlocking\rooting. The longer you wait, the longer Samsung/your carrier will have to patch exploits (ie MDK vs ME7 for the VZN SGS4). You telling people to hold of is the WORST possible thing that they can do; unless they plan on holding off for a developer edition two or three months after retail release. This is the only way you can

guarantee

you'll get a device with an unlocked bootloader. Every other variant you HOPE will get unlocked. So when you say waiting may be less harmful, you're dead wrong.

I speak from experience. Verizon is notorious for being the most locked down carrier and I've gotten their last two flagship devices. I bought the HTC Droid DNA on launch day and jcase had it unlocked about a week later. His method was locked about a month later with an OTA update and it took about 3-5 months later for another method to get around the CID was discovered. I currently have the SGS4 and the exploit for MDK lasted about a month as well, maybe less. I didn't really pay attention because I was already unlocked, rooted, and running a custom ROM and know to NEVER accept an OTA if the dev just happens to forget to remove the capability (quite amateur ROM at that point).

No, my friend, early adoption is the key. It allowed me to try out and absolutely love the blazing speed of a ROM I've never heard of before last night:

does all carrier get DE? im on AT&T and i just google note 2 DE and no results just GS4.. might have to jump on the a samsung chip then..

still not sure what to do.. get it now on att so i can have a chance if/when they hack it and so i can keep the hack/bootloader open before they patch it up.. dont want to wait then they will ship out with the newest update in it already and cant be unlocked:silly:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] aureldoku:
I dont really get why the first shipped could be we easier to unlock... If Knox is the problem, then its the problem already cause all devices will be send out with Knox on it since 26. September.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] docnok63:
It looks like that AT&T version of the Note 2 shipped with an unlocked bootloader. It was posted in another thread that Sprint and T-mobile don't lock their bootloaders either. So it appears as though Verizon is the only one doing this nonsense.

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/att-galaxy-note-2-rooted-will-have-unlocked-bootloaders/

Of course, previous history doesn't mean it will happen again. It's ALWAYS best to be an early adopter:

1) You have a minimum of 15 days to return the phone. If your bootloader is still locked at the end of two weeks and this is completely unacceptable to you, you can return the phone at full price.

2) Most exploits happen on pre-release kernels and first retail versions of software on a device. The longer you wait to pick up a device, the more chance it has of being locked down.

3) The bootloader might be still locked, but the device may get rooted in that 15 days (the current status of the VZN SGS4 ME7 build). This would be completely acceptable to me while I wait for devs to find a way around the bootloader.

I'm a flashaholic, but the N3 is over $700 with tax. I can wait for them to get it right.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] markysd:
yeah im a flash freak too lol.. but with note ill keep it some what stock and just get rid of crap ware.. but i would like cool roms as well but still some what stock beacause i like the note functions/features except some bloatware.. yeah 700$ sure is high.. but we are geeks not average consumers:highfive: be nice to see smasung chips to support LTE.. i wouldnt mind HSAP+ on a international N3 running it on ATT. will that run? or 3G only?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] docnok63:
You wouldn't need an unlocked bootloader to remove bloat, just root access. You could then install a file manager with root access to delete apps from system\app or Titanium Backup to freeze apps.

I'm not sure why you'd want to use an international version on the AT&T network when the AT&T variant will be almost exactly like the international version (add AT&T bloat). The Verizon variant is the only one that's going to be different as it's the LTE/Snapdragon version. I suppose you could buy the international version on the remote chance the bootloader is locked on the AT&T variant.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] bungadudu:
After the new updates the s4's can still be rooted etc.

Only problem is that once you root it you loose the warranty (a hw efuse that can't be reset)

And on a 800-900$ device that from looking in history can develop quite a few problems in time.. rooting is not an option anymore.

Chainfire said this quite clearly... - https://plus.google.com/app/basic/s...infire/posts&sparm=cbp=1fhdt9y4uhqvi&sview=25
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
I think its quite sad that for what we want to do we need to hack and circumvent security. Would be a refreshing change to see security maintained whilst being able to change certain stuff. Android doesnt support that itself so vendors like Samsung step in with genious solutions to at least provide better security. blame android for lacking basic security.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jinosong:
This is going to be a huge problem moving forward. Absolute headache. I'm actually rethinking my decision to buy this.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Bruce lee roy:
Although I'm hopeful this isn't an indication of what's to come, I can completely understand the purpose of implementing a system like Knox. It seems like a reasonable way of dissuading irresponsible woul-be hackers from avoiding consequences after screwing up their phone. After all, don't devs often preface their directions with a disclaimer exonerating themselves, and often your provider, from any damage caused to your device in case it blows up while you are venturing outside the designated swimming area of the warranty?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I have been trying to get my girlfriend to live stock Android as much as I do, and her only complaint is the one-touch dialing is getting her in trouble at night when she accidentally calls people because things in her notification center freeze. Is there an alternative phone asp we could use to replace the stock phone app? Could the touchwiz phone app be ripped and used on stock, or does the phone app still rely heavily on the framework?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Still relies on frameworks and drivers. You could use a 3rd party dialer

Hey guys,

I made a video review of the wood skin for our HTC One. Furthermore it shows you an alternate way of applying the skin.

This skin shown in the first video is from dbrand.com and the one in the second from smartskins:

Please let me know what you think about it! :)

[One (M7) Accessories] AdrianE46:
The skin looks really nice on the black phone. Thanks for bringing this to our attention and for the review, man.

A little piece of advice: only make your videos as long they actually need to be. Half an hour is too long for a phone skin. This is just inefficient. :o What kind of german are you? :)) and stop looking so scared for your life in these videos. You're among friends here. Try to keep that in mind.
[One (M7) Accessories] anfozy:
How on earth did you manage to talk about a skin for 27 minutes?! i watched about 3 minutes give or take. Looks nice though, I just ordered the wood skin from Dbrand with black leather tops and bottoms. OP how long did it take for delivery?

Thanks for your feedback. I have been shocked about the length after finishing editing, too. I'm sorry...

Just try imagining you're discussing with your best friend or even have him stand behind the camera when you film and talk as if you're explaining it to him. These sort of things should ideally seem like you're talking to an old friend, not a live theater audience.

Dude, I'm sorry. Don't wanna be disrespectfull but this vid is really bad, you'd better be with a written review + some photos.

26 mins, for a skin? Really? Think about it this way, take a look at it yourself, the full vid, not skipping it and after you've watched it, ask yourself this:

Did I just wasted 26 mins of my life? Yeah, I kinda did!

Here you go, I'd say this guy is pretty good, altough sometimes he speaks continuously without any break.
[One (M7) Accessories] simonjack83:

[One (M7) Accessories] AdrianE46:
Yea, you're a bit harsh but you have a point.

I guess a few bullet points would be:

1. Speak naturally and confident.

2. Be factual and argumentativ (this product does this and has this, but it doesn't do this, it comes in this color, it costs this much, etc) and you can add your personal opinion (it feels cheap, it feels premium, overall it is/isn't enjoyable, etc).

3. Make it a maximum of 5 minutes long (even 8-10 if you have a lot to cover and show real world "test drives").

4. Try to cover things that are/could be useful/popular and that are not covered too well by others (so ar not to compete with too many online videos). (In this regard i think you did well here, tbh. :) )

Good luck and have fun.

Hi, I will try to be as clear as possible since the lingo of android is new to me.

everything was fine.

i had link2sd working, and I made all the partitions and swaps and also installed a2sdgui to see the ram available.

somehow, link2sd is no longer getting installed in my phone.

I uninstalled it, since the link2sd in hyperion rom asks for an update, so i uninstalled it, and tried installing it fresh.

now when I try to install it from google play, it gives me error, that the application cannot be installed in default location.

I also tried installing the apk by downloading it, but then also, it does not gets installed.

can someone help me here or give me pointers how to fix it

Hi there,

I'm searching the correct stock recovery for my HTC One X. I'm running Android 4.1.1, Sense 4+, Software 3.20.401.01 an rooted my HOX a few month ago, but I never flashed a custom-rom, so I want to update my HOX to the newest OTA Update (4.18.401.2), but I can't install it, because of the flashed TWRP Recovery. I searched for the recovery, but I'm not sure which one is the correct one.

Alternative I would flash the newest OTA-Update by myself, when I get notifications about OTA updates in future by using this way.

Hello,

fewminutes ago I tried to update to the new OTA, after I installed and activated all apps via Titanium Backup which I had deactivated or deinstalled. But the Red Triangle is still there after about a minute of installing the update.

Is the only way now a RUU? Got a very old nand backup, when I rooted the HOX for the first time, but therefore I have to reflash TWRP, flash the nand backup, try the OTA update, long way, when I have to do a reset after installing the new OTA, equal which way I use ...

So I very pi**ed off... I thinking about to flash Venom Viper X or CyanogenMod so I got the Custom-Rom Tweaks and with Venom still OTAs ...
[HTC One X] Thant:
This is STORCK ROM 3.20.401.1

1. Download stock from the link

2. Install custom recovery

3. Install the STOK ROM

4. Flash via fastboot boot.img and recovery img from stock

5. Restart your phone and update:)
[HTC One X] Eviducre:
Thank you !!

But with this method I have to full wipe as well. So why not try the VenonViper X? Should be better with its tweaks, don't?!

Yes you can why not it is a grat rom. But you know when go from one rom to another everytime you must to do FULL WIPE, but full wipe is nordon't deleting nothing on your SD Cardyou don't lose any information!!!!

Yes, sure. Titanium Backup or Helium and everything, nearly, fine :)

Hi there, I still didn't flash the original :D
