Just curious, when you did the backorder thing, did they give you an estimated delivery or fulfillment date? I was told 14 business days, which depending on how you count the holiday, puts it around the 11th or 12th of December. I'm not expecting miracles and won't be surprised if that date is missed, but I'm curious to see if any others got feedback for the same timeframe.[/QUOTE]

I ordered on Nov. 6 and was told 14 days. Yea, they missed the date.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keennay:
Oh okay. No need to extract that file then as Samsung already posted the stock kernel on their open source site.

It's still unclear to me where ODIN files are usually released once Samsung provides them. Perhaps we need to ask that source?

I already contacted the Samsung dev email and got no response. Maybe I'll get one if I use my work email...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
But they haven't posted anything else?

Sent from my N900V Dev Edition
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keennay:
No idea.

I posted a link to Samsung's dev open source repository a while back, specifically the Note 3 section that had both the stock & DE kernels.

I can't go back to through my older posts on this phone, but if you can I'd look there and see if the DE ODIN file was added.

Halp

Wondering if someone could help me out. Recently every time I reboot it goes to the gray battery icon and stays there. I can't get it to reboot. I have to unplug it and hold down the power button to get it to start back up again. Has anyone run into this problem? Could it be imoseyons kernel?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
you got a photo of it? i am on imos kernel with no issues what so ever
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Thepooch:
The device sold out about 1 hour into sales as far as I can tell as little as 25 devices were made available. I back ordered 2 hours after release on the 6th. Support is not privy to any information as to the next release. Spoke with them 3 times truly pointless conversations I might add lol. :silly: No fulfillment date provided for back orders.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Turgur:
Halp

Does anyone know where we can get a boot.img for this phone? I lost my backup =(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Surge1223:
A few pages back I posted that you could extract it from a note 3 by entering the following in terminal:

su
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/backup
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 of=/mnt/sdcard/backup/boot.img

However, no one posted it, so I never made an odin flashable signed version of it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Turgur:
Someone get on that!! :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cam30era:
Here you go. From my Developer Edition. Had to compress it with 7zip because it exceeds max allowable file size.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Surge1223:
Got it. Looking at it now, will let you guys know soon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Surge1223:
Becareful Flashing this! Remember this wasn't from a official Odin tar, and a lot of the time Odin won't let you flash bootloader partitions that aren't signed. Just putting this up as a disclaimer, though I'm pretty sure its good to go.

VZW Dev Note 3 Stock Kernel Odin tar

Okay I modified it so it should be stock here it is:

Download: DEV_VZW_N3.tar.md5

MD5: b757bc1b4fccdf1d892c68f140f31cc1

If you're a dev, you can get the ramdisk and zimage here

Edit: Temporarily removed link

Edit 2: Links are back up :)

Edit 3: Looked at files and it was leankernel. Attempting to get stock kernel now

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cam30era:
What is this, and what does it mean?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Turgur:
This isn't working for me. Get an error message.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Surge1223:
Whats the message? Is it "Secure Check FAIL: kernel" ? Thanks ill remove the link, its odd that im able to extract the intramfs and zimage if the boot.img was corrupt..The command line and offset looked right on as well. You didn't happen to modify any other part of your phone did you?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] NeoMorpheus1337:

Not yet...:(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jmichaels1982:

Dont let anyone persuade you away from the dev edition . It really has been a treat. Flash kernels, and never have to worry about using kingo. You will also get to use all the aroma your heart desires from the Tmobile theme section.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] NeoMorpheus1337:
I had to buy a phone full price anyway, so it makes no sense in buying the regular version for the same price.

Question, for now, all i want is root, how do i do that when/if it arrives?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jmichaels1982:
yep ditto

yeah i had to also for the unlimited data. No way was i going to put 700 in a locked bootloader
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Turgur:
Sorry, I didn't write the message down. It happened when I tried to select the file with Odin. I believe it had to do with the md5 being invalid.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] r1ndr3w:
:good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Surge1223:
Oh, well in that case its just a bad download. The link is back up, check the md5 of the file to see that they match the one i posted for it (I just downloaded it and the md5 matches) Also id Odin is being anal then try Heimdall, it tends to work better for flashing these, at least on the dev S4. Multiple people successfully were able to flash the dev kernel for the dev S4 in Heimdall after getting errors with Odin. Check out that thread to learn more.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] r1ndr3w:
Not sure who you spoke with...I called SquareTrade a while back. They do not replace devices, they reimburse you for the cost of the device. You have to show proof of purchase and send them the device. See post #911.

Well I never got conformation it was back in stock, but like others here, I've gone ahead and ordered one. Now we just all wait for some shipping confirmation I guess.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jmorton10:
I would have to agree at this point.

With no odin files, there will be very little development either.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Yakuzahi:
The GS4 Dev has more Bluetooth bands. I don't know if it matters to you, but I need MAP protocol that works with my car Bluetooth.

Samsung can't tell if the Note 3 has the same amounts of Bluetooth bands.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TSman74:
This is why I bought the DE and why running custom kernels may be important in the near future:

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/google-taking-aim-at-device-modders-in-android-4-4-kitkat/

Not interested in choosing between running the latest OS or keeping root. But again, we have some kick$ss devs that may be able to break the new security or find a workaround. But even in that case, all development for the retail N3 is still development for the DE N3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] abe_cedar:
jelly beans 3

Beans,

So for a developer ed device we need the mj7_unsecure kernel only if coming from mj3

Do we still need this if the new dev devices have mj7's on them or can flash jb3 directly?

What is the order , flashing the rom and then the insecure kernel or vicevera ( if we still need the insecure kernel)

Guys .,

can u chime in?

many thanks

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] NeoMorpheus1337:
Thanks.

My CC was charged, but not shipping confirmation yet.

And besides keeping my unlimited data, the reason I'm getting the DE is in case in the future, Samsung stops providing updates at an unreasonable early device age, like HTC and Motorola did on my previous devices. I know, really blame VZW, but still.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cam30era:
I apologize. I missed that point. Will be more careful about this in the future.

The only way I will sell my stock note 3 on swappa is if someone has made or makes cyanogen mod for this device. I don't give 2 ****s about multi window or the stupid gestures and the other fancy features. I bought this because of the hardware its got. What bugs me the most is the fact that it uses 800 mb of RAM (roughly) when it first boots up. I like running a completely bare bones ROM with gaps. I work so much that battery life and snappy performance is what I need. I choose my own launcher and themes then I'm good. Just seems like so many ROMs get debloated then filled with more crap. I remember my droid used like 200 mb at boot up. I can dream....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SeanPlunk:
Ugh, it's back in stock and I can't make up my mind. I'm going to be kicking my own butt when it sells out again and I miss out.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] NeoMorpheus1337:
Just sell the "prisoner one" and get the "liberated one" :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TechBSwift:
I feel like this, if I could sell the retail for exactly the cost of the dev I would, but since I would have to pay $100+ out of pocket after selling the retail it's not worth it.. If you look at the devs that have the phone other than beans, they all have retail, so there's no true benefit for me. I don't want ASOP because I love my s pen and who knows if my galaxy gear will still work correctly with ASOP. As for kernels don't need them, phone is already super fast and battery life is amazing.

I will probably get the s5 as well and keep the note 3 (until the note 4 is released)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Cajunese:
I placed my order late last night, and have just gotten my shipping info, hopefully others are getting shipping notifications too...

Quick question, does anyone know if Knox will work on the Dev Edition? Or will it be disabled like the Retail N3's? I have some friends that have asked as they'd be interested in the Dev Edition if Knox was functional so they could keep their work/personal stuff separate.

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] NeoMorpheus1337:
Wow, you are lucky!!

I will call VZW and see if i can use my company discount towards the retail phone, if I can get that, I will just cancel this order.

All I want is root and since it is possible on retail already, will go that way if I can get the phone discounted.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Surge1223:
What file have you been waiting for? That file I posted is the stock dev note 3 kernel. Its edited to stock from a dev n3 dump/back up. You can extract the boot.img from the tar.md5 by renaming the file to DEV_VZW_N3_Kernel.tar and then use 7zip to mount and extract the boot.img if you want to inspect the file itself. The file I uploaded is Odin flashable, but in general you will have more success if you use Heimdall. I did this for the Dev S4 a couple months ago as well. Its always good to have stock signed partitions as a back up just in case. Also people looking to unbrick might find it useful.

You checked to make sure the md5 matched right? If the md5 is the same then remove the .md5 from the end of the file name (so rename it to DEV_VZW_N3_Kernel.tar) Also you can try renaming it to DEV_VZW_N3.tar as that was what the file was originally named. If that doesn't give then ill give you instructions on how to use Heimdall.

the thing that sucks the most is no expected date for the Dev device, not to be a downer but I can see Verizon making people wait. With a dev device you can get free wifi tether, block ads and more..
