I'm pretty sure this is probably going to be their best selling dev device. Or i hope so. That should help out our cause for these files.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] js0uth:
seems like they were really eager to test out the dev editions for this phone. which seems like itll be a big hit.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keennay:
Any reason you'd jump on AT&T instead of T-Mobile? I'm still grandfathered into unlimited plans on both AT&T (throttled) & Verizon, but I'm having a difficult time pulling the plug on AT&T. They won't let me port out my number (I've had for thousands of years) while keeping the unlimited plan......

That T-Mobile branded Note 3 with unlocked bootloader sure looks nice though!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Marvelicious75:
Can't speak for him, but in my area having T-mobile is like going back in time 15 years - hardly any service. They just don't have the coverage out here in the sticks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alexp1289:
Same here that's why I won't switch.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] NWNJ:
Well, the bigger problem would be if developers will develop for this thing if we do not get those files? That would be my bigger concern.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alexp1289:
Correct me if I'm wrong but you can pull/extract the needed img files from a nandroid backup to create a flashable zip. So it shouldn't be an issue. And not to be condescending to any one but if you're a noob to android roms and flashing stuff you need to read up before touching this phone when you buy it. The only reason I could foresee needing stock files for any other purpose than development would be if someone flashed the wrong recovery. But even still roms that are created for us after getting a custom recovery won't and shouldn't touch the recovery partition. The only other thing that could happen is the recovery partition gets corrupted or a bad recovery flash. If you have a bad recovery just boot back into android and reflash (assuming your not boot looping).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Marvelicious75:
Spoken like someone who has been relatively fortunate. The very first ROM I ever flashed soft-bricked me, and yes, it was supposedly correct for my phone. I didn't panic, I just read up on how to fix it.

With as many variations on the Note 3 as there are, people are bound to make mistakes. It would be much better to have the tools to help them, rather than telling them they should've read more.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alexp1289:
But see that's the problem a recovery is supposed to be a fail safe so you don't soft brick so in that case I would say you have to read up more before you flash anything. Because the only way you could have soft bricked and not been able to boot into recovery is if you overwrote the recovery partition. Which = not compatible = you didn't do your homework. There is no reason... I repeat no reason for a ROM to touch your recovery partition at all. It defeats the purpose of using it as a fail safe.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Marvelicious75:
Well, you're partially right - where I failed on the homework is in buying a Defy in the first place. Still, go on thinking whatever you like, and here's hoping you never have any need to think otherwise, but you might try being less condescending in posts where you use the phrase, "not to be condescending". It's just possible that there are circumstances outside your experience.

...or maybe I'm just a dumbass, sure we'll go with that. :rolleyes:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alexp1289:
I'm simply saying make mistakes on a **** phone not a $700 beauty. Because in the event we don't get these files people need to understand that doing your reading and homework is a must.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] harosxcomp170:
Yea AT&T has way better service than T-Mobile! I actually made my decision this morning and I bought a 2 day old Unlocked T-Mobile N900T phone. I really wanted to stay with Verizon, but I'm too anxious to wait! With this big typhoon hitting Korea and Tiwain my backordered developer edition is probably floating in the Pacific! But, I'm sure Samsung will release an .img/tar file for the Verizon Developer Edition!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
Has Samsung released stock img for the developer s4?

Somebody just needs to make twrp and we will all make backups and restore zips lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LillieBennett:
All, as soon as I get root I will use Online Nandroid Backup from the Play Store and make full backups in both CWM and TWRP modes.

via LG Spectrum (waiting for N3 DE) & tapatalk
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Well as soon as we get a recovery we can all flash root and make nandroids. Not to be mean or anything :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidstyle:
Exciting news to come!! :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
Come on recovery!!!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidrev71:
Exciting news is always good and very welcomed!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] kisypher:
I'm on the waiting list for one of these, but still deciding whether it will be worth it or not. How solid will development be for this considering the retail version with rooted Touchwiz is really strong?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jmorton10:
Yes, it is.

I had planned to sell mine when the DEV edition came out, but I've changed my mind.

I have mine rooted, totally debloated, Nova Prime launcher W/custom icons installed, FrameWork Exposed with Wanam & running side by side with my Bean Rommed Note 2 I barely even know which is which (they look almost identical in every detail.

My battery life is superb and I can't even imagine what advantage a custom ROM or kernel would give me at this point (overclocking would be totally ridiculous with this beast).

I know I can Odin it at anytime if I have a problem plus every single thing works perfectly with my Gear watch. I have no reason to change anything at this point.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TechBSwift:
If I purchased a Dev edition I would use safestrap because the benefits are greater. Being able to load multiple roms and switch within minutes
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Turgur:
!!!

The suspense is killing me!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidstyle:
Then there is no point to buy a dev edition...well until a OTA patches root and possibly borks SS. With the Dev Edition "I aint got no worries". lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
this ^^ :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidstyle:

I pmed you
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidstyle:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] sublimaze:
I would have been happy with SS, since I do not plan to use non-TW roms. I was just waiting for Beans to do his magic, and I would have been content. But my N3 was janky so I sold it. I am on the DE backorder list, however. I have weeks to mull it over, and I'm in no hurry.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cveez11:
I am on DE note 3 out of the box stock waiting patiently for recovery. I have a couple of question:

1. Is the bootloader unlocked out of the box? My understanding is yes.

2. With all the hoopla about spying, what method are you all using for root access?

I am not in a huge hurry to root until we have recovery, but just want to be safe when I do it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidstyle:
Google Chain fires CF-AUTO-ROOT...that should work until We have a confirmed working recovery, then you can just flash the SuperSU.zip in recovery for root. I will have instructions for everything soon. Its hard to say when since I don't have the device to test.

Edit* Not sure if Auto root will work on J7 firmware or not?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cveez11:

So, is that all we need now? Are we good to go? I am still on back order and waiting and watching.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Devs do not have the stock odin files so if you mess up your done. But as far as flashing roms and what not we are good to go
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Marvelicious75:
It would still be a

very

good thing to have the stock .tar in case of soft-brick. It is always good to be able to go back to zero, zero.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jmichaels1982:
knox

did you trip knox ? and one least question , is it safe to just inject SU apk form the recovery ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
It most likely tripped knox but the whole point of a dev phone is to flash stuff. Twrp rooted for me after install.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jmichaels1982:

thx for the reply man
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
No problem. Here to help
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cam30era:
^This
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
twrp automatically asks to install su and yes it trips knox. any attempt at or installing custom recovery or kernels trips it
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jmichaels1982:
that is so nice

I feel so much better knowing I will not have to use some Chinese rooting program. It was soo worth the 1000000 f5 for the dev edition phone and dealing with best buy return, what a journey !
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
LOL as long as you dont care about tripping knox its great!! time to do some hacks on this thing tonight hopefully get a few roms soon for it or ported over!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] xXJay_RXx:
So where do we get this recovery from? :confused:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] untouchablez:
Yeeaaahhhh
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Who knows...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alexp1289:
I know when and where will get it. We will get it whenever it's ready and from who ever developed it they will post a link LOL. Let's just be patient :) we can wait a little longer.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mjlewis0102:
So quick question (may be a noob-like question) about Knox. Tripping it voids your warranty. Is that all? Doesn't blow up your phone or anything does it? I

If not im ok with that. My last S4 was rooted and tripped and completely voided as far as warranty goes but was stolen....so warranty covered it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] js0uth:
Wow. You guys made a lot of progress the last few days. Good effin job fellas. :good:

My Dev edition should be in my hands tuesday! And probably by then more progress will take place! :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
Correct it voids your warranty with no current way and don't expect one on getting back the Knox counter to 0x0. And no my phone is just fine after tripping it no smoke here lol And the s4 didn't have Knox integration but after the last updates it does
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mjlewis0102:
Lol... glad to see no smoke. Yeah me S4 was pre-Knox, but i tripped something. Had "triangle away" but still had a Samsung unlock screen every time I booted. Didn't bother me too much though.

Meanwhile.....still waiting on the backorder list. No contact yet.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
yeah there is no cure for the knox counter (efuse) being tripped and i believe samsung said it was impossible to go back to 0x0 once it was tripped
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BeansTown106:
i posted here as well i suggest we all do this
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] xXJay_RXx:
Didn't you post a picture with your phone running the recovery tho? :what:

Ok since the Cat is out of the bag...Beans discovered that the T-Mobile TWRP recovery works flawless on the VZW DE N3. I went ahead and added a section for flashing recovery and root on your DE device. Be warned that there is still no stock Odin restore files, so be very careful what you flash!!! I am assuming this is why Beans did not say anything. I did not intend for this info to get out right away!! Guys make sure you clear with the DEV before you post information.

You need to download the tar file. Its on the bottom of the list on twrp's website. Reinstall the drivers. I had too
