Asruion Coverage Of Moto X Developers Edition

Great question!

The Moto X Developer's Edition is not a part of our current inventory. At this time, any approved Moto X claim would be sent the Moto X standard edition or the Moto Maker X Custom replacement device. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Well, there you have it, then. I'll have to check ST like everyone recommended. Thanks much for responding, Asurion - appreciated!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Coyle:
If you're on the waiting list on Samsung's site for a Note 3 developer edition (i.e., if you have it on "backorder"), then you'll want to check to see if your backorder has fallen off of their site.

Mine was there last week when I checked, but when I checked again today it had disappeared. I called Samsung and per the rep I got this time the backorder isn't really a backorder. It’s just your email being put on a list for email notification that the item is back in stock. No queue, no line, just an email and whoever gets there first gets one (matches what people have said in the thread previously). I offered to give him the backorder number and he stated it wouldn't do any good since it’s not a real order number.

So, if you still have a backorder that you're waiting on then you’ll want to check and see if it fell off the list without so much as a warning or a whimper.

In my mind it’s extremely misleading to call that a backorder, but it’s what they've chosen to do. Oh, and no, I didn't miss the email in the spam folder. I keep good tabs on that.

“Backordered” 11/7/2013

“Backorder” disappeared 1/13/2014

Considering the timing, it could just be a two month auto-delete threshold that they have set.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] njfoses:
Just a heads up, you will not even receive an email when the device does become available again. Signing up for the "back-order" does absolutely nothing. You have to check the site periodically and order once it comes back in stock.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Coyle:
Thank you for the heads up.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cam30era:
Yup. This is 100% correct information.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Tidefan13:
Yeah don't rely on the email, I've had mine for about a month and before I got it I checked everyday multiple times a day, but I've never received a email. Don't get why they have that as a option listed saying backorder and that they'll email you. Good luck I hope y'all get Devices soon.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] kimdoocheol:
I decided not to update to the note 3 even though it is pretty sweet. It is too similar to my N2 to switch, plus I like running PAC so it is more or less the same for me as the TW features that are added don't really do much.

here is a tip for anyone who signed up for the backorder notifications. Call Samsung and complain that you didn't receive notification of it being in stock and that you are disappointed. Ask if there is anything they can do since you wanted the phone really badly and have been waiting since it was originally released. They will look to see when you signed up for it, and if you did sign up prior but they received stock/no notification, they will give you a discount on the phone. I'm not sure since I never followed through with it, but the woman said it would probably be free express shipping + some $ off the phone. Not sure how much, but she sort of hinted at it being around $50.

Request to anyone who is purchasing a DE: The TWRP Developer (bigbiff) has agreed to make a DE specific version of TWRP, but he needs a copy of the stock recovery.img before flashing a custom recovery. Specifically:

"You will need to root it, find the partition in /dev/block/platform/msm.sdcc.1/by-name/recovery and dd it out to an image.

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm.sdcc.1/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/recovery.img

I assume he was referring to waiting for Samsung to release (or leak) Odin package for DE (or some form of factory recovery files), which will 100% never come.

I paid 800 flat for mine, 100% mint condition etc etc, so I'm kinda okay with it. Had I paid 1000 on the other hand....I would have bought new one from Sammy yesterday, waited for them to go back out of stock, then sold the used one I have on the way. Meh, I'm happy.

KitKat question

Every other forum for the note 3 talks about a new bootloader for KitKat ( touch wiz base ) . I wonder what will happen to our bootloaders if we flash a verizon bootloader on our DE bootloaders. Will it lock or even worse brick ? I feel like this can really hinder development for our phones if we have to create a modified bootloader for our DE. And knowing samsungs history with DE phones, we will most likely never see any support from them .

I know its months in advance, not one really knows and its all speculations, just brain storming, wondering what others think ? I think I remember beans mentioning how the s4 DE had the same problem when Jelly bean came out. I'll head over that forum now and see what happened .

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cam30era:
The DE was first released on November 4th. Been in and out of stock at Samsung about four times since then. I think that may answer your question....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keennay:
Completely forgotten about this thread. I still have my Verizon DE Note 3 in stock form. I think I was the first person to receive one in this thread & it's been used as a work phone ever since.

I'm thinking about straight up swapping for a regular Note 3 seeing as the DE will never receive updates, and I don't care much for custom ROMs... just as long as I can keep my unlimited data

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
oh ok gotcha thats cool
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TechBSwift:
For those of us who purchased the Note 3 for discount, it's smarter to sale outright instead of returning. i.e I purchased my Note 3 for $209 + taxes with no activation fee. If I sale my phone once the dev phone comes out I can get roughly $600 (I hope), then I can go buy the dev for $700, meaning I spent out of my pocket $300 give or take for the dev device. If I return the phone I would have to pay the full $700 out of my pocket.

I am the winner of the auction! Patiently waiting for the device to get here!! :D

Would anyone know where I can download a stock kernel for the VZW Galaxy Note 3 Developer Edition that is flashable via TWRP? I plan on running CleanROM on it and the developer says it requires a stock kernel in order to run CleanROM on the developer edition of the Note 3.

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cam30era:
Flash Beans stock MJE via TWRP, then you will be on stock kernel. Go here > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2564720

Congratulations on your purchase. And welcome to the forum.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] linebacker71:
Isn't that a full ROM though? I just need a stock kernel, so I can flash it after I flash CleanROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cam30era:
That is a full ROM, correct. I won't tell you that it doesn't exist, but I've not found just the MJE kernel flashable zip. Maybe another user knows?

But anyway, what the CleanROM dev meant is that you should be on stock kernel before you flash his ROM. If you flash the ROM that I provided the link for, boot up, then go back into recovery and flash CleanROM, it should work fine.

For the life of me, I don't understand why he says this, though. You can flash any other TouchWiz ROM, and it doesn't matter what ROM/kernel combination you are coming from.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] linebacker71:
Thanks for clarification.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TSman74:
You can download the MJE kernel for the DE from the Jelly Beans ROM in the flash mods section under settings. I'm not currently on Beans or I would post it for you. BTW Beans 6 auto flashes the kernel when you flash the ROM on the DE.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cam30era:
Good information to know.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] linebacker71:
So I would need to load up the stock ROM first, and then somehow extract the kernel from the ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TSman74:
No. Flashing Jelly Beans 6 or bean's Stock MJE will auto flash mje kernel to your phone. Or you can go to Jelly Beans ROM thread and ask someone to post the kernel for you if you don't want to go through all that. They just need to download it from the add ons section in the ROM settings.

But beans 6 is a good ROM if you want to give it a try IMO. ;)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] linebacker71:
Will do. Thanks for clarification. Not new to rooting and ROMs, just new to the Note 3. Started with OG Droid, then Xoom, HTC Thunderbolt, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S4 & now the Note 3 DE.

I liked CleanROM on the S4... will definitely give Beans ROM a look as well.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mrlaigle:
So my DE just became more valuable
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] gatorhater73:
According to Samsung customer service, the DE is NOT being discontinued, just a growing back order list which prompted them to remove the page from their website which allows people to add to the back order list until they have caught up.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mrlaigle:
I Have the link that adds the actual device to the cart that I used to check status through out the day and it still come up. However still in backorder. But still adding to the cart
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Namolas:
So how were you checking the status? I have my preorder email from 7 days ago for the DEVELOPER DEVICE SM-N900VMKEVZW but the only link in the email goes to my Account on Samsung.com and I can't see any way to se the current backorder status? SO of course I was just checking the product page but that is no longer available.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] linebacker71:
But why take the page down? Why not have it link to a page that says it is on back order and to check back frequently or leave it the way it was? Seems to me the overwhelming requests for the developer edition would make them want to kick it into overdrive and make more $$$$ in the long run.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] NeoMorpheus1337:
I would not be surprised that Vericrooks told Samsung to only have 10 units or so available every month.

Really hope the Motorola releases a Moto XL or LG releases the G2 Pro 2 "Developers Edition".
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] njfoses:
"Backordering" the device actually means nothing to Samsung. It has been well documented in this thread that you will never receive any notification via email when the device is back in stock.

I book marked the actual link behind the shop button on the note 3 DE page. When I go to my book mark it adds the phone to my cart and takes me straight to the cart screen. Super quick and easy way to check of its still back order or not.

That link still works. But it shows the device in backorder. Most likely always will.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Namolas:
I gathered that much very quickly from what I was able to find before asking my question. I did not ask when I was going to get an email saying it was back in stock.

The last time it came back in Stock I actually got 20 some notifications that it was in Stock at midnight on the dot. All accounting for the various ones I had submitted over the two months of waiting.
