I was not concerned i just wanted to find out if it was going to be delivered today as stated. Now that i have made all the calls, i am a little concerned. hopefully it just hasn't left the warehouse and will go out today. fingers crossed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jmichaels1982:
same here

I also ordered mine standard shipping. UPS claims they never received. Called Samsung, and they said they send it, and tried to make me cal UPS. SO i sent them a screen shot ( since they claimed to not be able to track it ) with the message saying " label has been created and package is yet to be received.

The really idiotic CSR told me he will forward all this info to the supervisor who will contact the warehouse and call me back. Highly doubt that they will call me back and I am starting to think we are in the same boat as every one who is waiting for the backorder. I am soo exhausted form this whole thing.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Marvelicious75:
I'm not worried yet, but I've got this scene pictured in my mind of the two guys that worked at the parking garage in Ferris Bueller's Day Off wearing UPS uniforms and comparing their new phones.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
developer edition ftw
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Noiceee
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] js0uth:
yea i just got off the phone with samsung. and the csr told me the same thing. kinda. he said it has been shipped but ups probably forgot to scan it. but he assured me it already got shipped. i just said okay since im not that worried. yet. so i guess we'll see what happens.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Does anyone else think its weird that my retail note three was over a 1lb and ups says it weighs a tenth of a pound on the label
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
i found that odd but i figured it was cause their were overnight they didnt care? idk lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
They probably weighed out the boxes and labeled em before the devices went in.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
could have. mine should be here anytime!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Mine as well :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:

Ups needs to hurry :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
i knew mine would be way late today haha
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
I got a 4 hour window so they still have 3 hours. Usually ups comes around this time though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
ok cool get ready for bootloader photos guys
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
Here
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidrev71:
I just called Sammy and the people that ordered and used regular shipping our phones are sitting at the warehouse. They had to be etched. They should be picked up around the same time the next day air ones were yesterday. I hope that helps put some at ease.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
There's the money shot!

Once hash ports TWRP we will be in business!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
yeah baby!!! guess developer means unlocked bootloader???

lol

you must have blown your nut ( pun super intended ) when you saw that .

question , i thought the secure boot was supposed to disabled on the unlocked bootloader ? I Never owned a dev phone so I don't know
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
No idea. waiting for somebody to flash recovery lol

i was wondering, wheres beans? hes probably working on this already. lol.

gettem man! youre seriously one of the main reasons why i got this phone.... :good:i lowkey love you bro... no homo. lol.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] r1ndr3w:
I wonder if Samsung has a policy regarding updates for dev models and if they do, would they share it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] suzook:
Rest? Wtf? No rest for you!! Lol...jk.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cveez11:
Just got a call back from samsung also confirming that my phone will ship out today. As previous post stated, had to be etched. Super excited!! Just need to see the updated tracking so i know it is for real.LOL
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SeanPlunk:
Have any of the wait-listed folks heard anything yet?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jmichaels1982:
What are they etching exactly and why do ours take that much longer to etch than those with second day delivery
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] tgyberg:
Nothing since my "yer on the list" confirm email yesterday.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cveez11:
Didn't ask. I was just happy it is not lost somewhere.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] js0uth:
yea. seriously.

that tracking better update sometime today.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cveez11:
No doubt.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] slakdawg:
When I called earlier today, I was told that it could be 2-3 weeks, but it could be sooner or later...so yeah, no, not really anything yet. :rolleyes:

Was told the limited stock was a tester for them, to gauge interest. That they sold out so quickly was a strong indication they will be bringing many more.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Marvelicious75:
'Developer Device' according to the pictures. As for why it takes longer, simply because we didn't shell out the extra cash.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SeanPlunk:
Good to know though, thanks for the update.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] toddnbrown:
Sorry for the noob question, but I don't care. Is it advantageous at all for the retail version people, that these dev devices are being released? In other words, is there a chance that some sort of info from it could be used to assist in unlocking the bootloader in the retail devices? I would like to order one of these, but I almost feel like a d#$k buying one, being that they are limited in quantity. Seems like they would do better in the hands of actual developers lol.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] YoungSkeezy:
I wanted to ask something similar hoping for a good/different answer, but in the past, it hasn't helped :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] gerg004:
I'm assuming that's why I can't even find it on their website?

Anyone know the best way to get on the waiting list?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Search Samsung galaxy note 3 developer edition. Click the first link. Click shop. It'll have you put on the waiting list after filling out your name and email
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] toddnbrown:
Try searching the phone in the search box on the samsung site.. seems like that's the way i found it originally, and i had to get on the wait list then. Type something like "note 3 developer" and it should pop up.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] gerg004:
On the list. Thanks fellas.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
No problem.

On a side note UPS still isnt here:( if they dont come in 15 minutes they'll have missed their 4 hour window
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
they will be there. driver probably stole it lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
I go to work in a half hour :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
it will be there when you get home then right?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidrev71:
From my experience with Samsung you need to check daily and more often late at night. When it goes live again whoever buys gets even if you put in a "backorder"
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
I dont wanna wait :( oh well
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
im not using mine until its rooted and has recovery. so i am not even on mine yet
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
That makes sense
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
hopefully i will get that tonight! :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] tgamer:
no plans for a white one? debating on putting my white n3 on ebay and poneying up the money for the dev edition and not tell my employer about the swap....if its just a sim card change.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
they usually only do one color and yes it is just a sim card change
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] r1ndr3w:
Not a word.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] stargzrr11:
Kingo works for the root.

Just have to wait on the recovery.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
I will wait for recovery and flash su in recovery
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] drPheta:
What is the likelihood of pulling the entire image from the Dev edition and flashing that to the retail? I paid full retail for mine, so it's not a big deal to sell/buy to switch to the Dev Edition, but I like my white N3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] toddnbrown:
well that pretty much blows. so the backorder means nothing? You would think they would fill those in the order placed. They have to get massive complaints on that.

---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 PM ----------

You could possibly swap the screens, then you'd have a white one. I dunno how involved that would be with this phone though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
wont happen
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Tidefan13:
Yeah I know if I miss out again after checking on it nonstop, nobody will ever get Sammy devices again cause I'll blow there headquarters up. JK

Roll Tide!!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jmichaels1982:
Stupid thing hasn't shipped yet . should have forked the extra 20
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidrev71:
I've been thinking the same thing. It'll happen soon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] js0uth:
Same here.... :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
Anything yet on recovery? :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidrev71:
They should of been picked up already..hurry up UPS
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] MotorcycleMike:
Hmm...Still not shipped. Not looking good.:(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Marvelicious75:
Meh, they don't always scan when it's picked up, especially with ground. They scan the overnight stuff, but if the other stuff is already labeled it's just extra work - ground is the default. They scan it later when they sort it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Mines at home delivered i stuck at work :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ripster:
I went to my phones on the Samsung site and notice that two of the Note 2's I owned were developer edition. I bought them from Best Buy two months after release. So maybe they are shipping the Note 3 to retail stores also.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidrev71:
Has anyone called recently to see if our phones have been picked up from the warehouse?

Closed..I take that question back.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jmichaels1982:
They finally got the package . and now my delivery is scheduled for the 12 grrrr

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Sooo i finally got off work and came home to not only my dev edition but my mime featherlite glass screen protector came too! This is great. Now i need to just apply the bad boy to this beast and get it going
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
well no recovery and root!! :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] streetracer8605:
So then the only advantage would be an unlocked bootloader? I'm just curious because I would see that as a high price to pay as opposed to just rooting and doing safestrap. That way you would at least have the chance of having a phone that could be returned to warranty status in the event you have a legitimate problem with the phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidrev71:
what's the name of the insurance you can grab that covers the developer edition??
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Squaretrade

---------- Post added at 08:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------

I know :( but i did get my screen protector on nicely :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] MotorcycleMike:
Finally. In transit. Here by Tuesday.Hopefully some root and recovery action by then.:good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] js0uth:
I think beans hard at work right now.... :victory:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
I hope lol still rocking HTC one for now! :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jsk23:
Is this going to slow or lessen development on the retail device?

That and debating if losing the 1 year warranty is worth it. If I knew for sure safestrap will be fully working I'd probably just hang on to this for warranty sake. A custom kernel doesn't matter that much but I would like a custom rom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Marvelicious75:
Yeah, mine got pushed back to the 13th. Seriously Samsung, you could've skipped the engraving for all I care!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Just got my dev edition all set up and using it currently. Finalllyy

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ----------

Thats why I'm getting a squaretrade warranty

And they can never try to patch anything with an unlocked bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] xXJay_RXx:
I can't wait to see what Beans and Hash have been working on for this device. Beans said Hash was working on getting us a custom recovery but we will have to see where things are whenever Beans or Hash appears. It sure is exciting tho :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Fyi hash just posted his SS recovery in the dev section. Patiently awaiting his twrp port for dev editioners as well :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidrev71:
Just installed it on Verizon Note 3 and made a backup. Hopefully tomorrow the de recovery will be available.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BeansTown106:
ok 2 things that are really pissing me off right now...

1. kie and verizon upgrade assistant both say not supported on dev edition

2. i made a bunch of backups of different partition of the dev edition to make us a stock tar to flash. guess what download mode says not supported dev_type when flashing the stock tar. WTF i paid for a phone with less security not more!

we need to find a person to get us the stock dev edition tar so we have something to recover with..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keennay:
LoL, so we may be better off with a stock Verizon Note 3?

Hmmm... that T-Mobile Note 3 on AT&T's network ain't look so bad any more!

Alright, so who wants my Developer Note 3? (j/k) F(Our)Lives :laugh:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Surge1223:
Wait are you saying that you cant flash anything in Odin at all or is that the failure message? If so where'd it fail at?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mjlewis0102:
If anyone can figure it out, its you. I have faith. In the meanwhile....still waiting for my backorder
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BeansTown106:
lol agreed.... :(

it instantly fails when flashing my system.img i pulled with the fail message in downloadmode saying unsupported dev_type

so basically we cant flash anything in odin. im assuming they did this so we dont flash the stock retail tars and lock ourselves.. but still they could have made the dev edition blow a certain fuse that wont relock.. like motorolla does.. im assuming there is a dev edition tar out there somewhere but we dont have it.... and i cant pull it from kies because kies doesnt work with the dev edition.. so stupid lol..

time to source out for a dev edition tar. i just want something so we can go back to pure stock if ever needed.

seriously though this is stupid and i fully understand why adam outler who was the biggest samsung fan wants nothing todo with them anymore
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
so we need the stock tar from samsung for the developer edition?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keennay:
Lemme know if you need help with anything beanstown106.

I may have never worked specifically on Samsung HW, but aside from Android app design during my undergrad I'd like to think I could pick it up quickly with my electrical engineering & software dev background.

Just let me know.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] somethingsomethingroot:
So, if someone had a DE that's still in stock, they would be able to help?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Surge1223:
Though I'm sure you know what you're doing and have done this plenty of times before, I just wanted to say that usually when I've gotten that error its more related to me forgetting to uninstall Kies, not having updated Samsung drivers, using a usb port I dont trust, or having the wrong pit file in a heimdall package. I think if it was security enabled check it would say SECURE CHECK FAIL: system

I know I couldn't believe it when I heard Adam was done with them. Also, I hope you do get lucky finding the stock dev edition tar, we couldn't get it on the S4 but as far as the stock dev firmware, on the S4 we were able to dump then modify and flash all of the parititions (see here) but no one has tested aboot.mbn or system.img.ext4 yet(I would but I don't own a dev device).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
I think everyones DE is still stock. I guess once we get a recovery we would all have to make a backup and go from there. Samsung had to use some sort of odin to flash these because they took retail ones and etched and flashed em.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jmichaels1982:
If kingo fixes its security issues. Can't we flash the recovery partition with twrp using our root access ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Yes. [MENTION=4395895]beanstown106[/MENTION] just wanted something to fall back on in case someone royaly screwed up. He's just trying to protect everyone in case all else fails. And a stock odin would give others a base ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
Exactly. we will all have to make a stock backup in twrp and save it since we dont have a stock odin file right now. and yes samsung has the stock dev odin files somewhere but doubt they will give to use right now lol

lets wait for beans to chime in! :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
I think if someone makes a stock recovery using twrp (when that is ported) they need to upload it somewhere so its available to everyone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidstyle:
So we can flash wildly on the DE but have no way to recover...damn that really sucks!! It's always something these days. T-mobile is looking more and more appealing by the day.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
No no we can have recovery we dont have a stock file to flash in odin to get back to factory images from my understanding
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
It doesnt matter to me, because I've always used twrp to make a stock recovery and saved a copy on my laptop. But i can see the concern for one just to have. We should have one and idk why samsung doesnt make one available because we all know that regular retail versions can't flash it anyways.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidstyle:
thats what i just said lol. "we can flash wildly on the DE but have no way to recover" meaning return to stock conditions.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
yeah exactly

LOL
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidstyle:
It should matter being you get in a bootloop situation and can not boot into recovery. STOCK ODIN FILES ARE IMPORTANT!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Well yeah, i just tend to not mess up like that. But no one is safe from messing up and I agree that they are important.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidstyle:
I cant believe Samsung would sell a god damn developer device and not have a stock Odin file to recover from a soft brick. When you develop, things go wrong, soft bricks happen...Frustrating!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jmichaels1982:
I never had to Odin from a bootloop. I always just pulled out the battery and did the three finger salute to boot back into twrp . and I thought the whole point of an unlocked bootloader is flashing custom recovery . then we can just make an immediate backup of our phone to resort to in case things go south .

Ideally in would like to not use kingo to flash recovery . but i think at this point development will take off the moment we get custom recovery on . I really wish I knew how to port and flash custom recovery .
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidstyle:
I have yet to softbrick my N2 but things can happen...and if something does go wrong, you have a 700.00 paperweight with no way to recover. I am sure somebody will come up with a stock odin file, but its just lame that there is not one already available. The point to having a DE device is NO Restrictions.

---------- Post added at 11:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

Congrats!! Also you do not develop...From a developer stand point(Beans) stock Odin Files are important. Would you like your rom developer to bootloop his device incorporating different mods, porting recoveries..etc and have no way to recover?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jmichaels1982:
Thanks for the great attitude

I can always rely on you for some snide comment. I was just trying to understand.

Also same point still exists, but please spare me from your very unneeded replies.

If he bootloops with TWRP , can he not just restore his very first back up without using odin.

and this question is to anyone else but droidstyle and thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LillieBennett:
Sounds like Samsung has delivered broken devices because download mode is not supported. We need this because custom recoveries can and do fail. We must task Samsung to provide the DE with support for returning to stock software, at least! What do you think, are the DEs not returnable for refund?
