so is the developer edition that we can have full recovery on!!!!!! :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] hsomnus:
I doubt there will be alot of development for it
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] sbreen94:
Exactly
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
I dont need alot just some of beans work :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] YoungSkeezy:
are we talking dev or standard?

I'm conflicted on whether to return my standard one for the dev (if it comes out tomorrow) return policy 14 day is 2 days away....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] deathshead:
He Means that there will probably be minimal support for the Developer edition Note 3 for the simple fact that out of how many million devices sold only .00000000000000000000000000000000000001% of them will be dev edition.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TechBSwift:
I think it will be more development on the non dev version, unless all devs on the non dev port to the dev.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] NWNJ:
I think that many of the people who are interested in actually developing for this phone will get the developer version. Probably 99.98% of the 99.99% who buy the regular Note 3 have no interest at all in doing what we do here. A significant number of the people who do what we are talking about will most likely get the developer edition. We should all try to get it so that we can give them a market. Otherwise we will forever be stuck with locked bootloaders or moving to another carrier.

Dev edition

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ----------

Hell no! Thats just buying into their bull**** and giving them a reason to continue locking down.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] harosxcomp170:
There's already development for the developer edition! Porting ROMS from the T-Mobile and Sprint forums isn't hard to do at all!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
He is right. And kernals as well :) they all have the same processor
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] hsomnus:
Hash said hes getting close
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
still not worth it unless its unlocked bootloader in my opinion. if i am paying $750+ i want an unlocked bootloader phone that has endless possibilities. kernels, full custom recovery not safestrap, customs roms etc etc
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
Seems to me your decision is an easy one, then.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] hsomnus:
Have faith young grasshopper
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
yes so everybody should buy developer ones then

lost faith with s4 and now knox integration
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
Not a chance. That's giving them what they want and rewarding their tyrannical activity in locking it down in the first place. It's one thing to lock it and make it unlockable like HTC has done as of late, but to make it like a literal Fort Knox (pun intended!) is just too far. Verizon needs to chill on the whole "developer edition" line of thinking and let us unlock our retail devices...or at least look the other way and let us "hack" them unlocked
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
i agree that if you pay full retail you should be able to get it unlocked but verizon wont let that happen. developer editions from samsung is the only way it will happen for an unlocked phone in the future
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TechBSwift:
I don't agree with that, there a lot of devs that don't include kernels in their roms. If we get safe strap that will be amazing. Don't get me wrong I would love to have the dev device but not everyone including devs can afford $650. A lot of devs get donated devices, but the note 3 community is split, there will be less people willing to donate a dev note 3 because half the community won't have the dev version

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BeansTown106:
ok hashcode has agreed to start the donations so he can keep my note3. we are using gofundme so that it is a set number and no one gets any extra $ than needed.. so far he has fixed the framebuffer issue with the splash screen, and has the device booting into safestrap there are still a cpl minor issues but it is moving along good :) it shouldnt be far out now but letting him keep the device will be great so he can support it during new otas/etc. here is the donation link http://www.gofundme.com/51phyw please only send device donations to gofundme nothing to my paypal. that way we can fully keep track of it!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
beans you still in for developer edition though right?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BeansTown106:
ya thats why im selling him mine to get the dev edition, my roms will be compatible with safestrap(retail) and developer edition
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TechBSwift:
expect payment tomorrow. Just so we clear some of us will reduce our bounty to donate towards the device... don't get me wrong beans I appreciate you sending hashcode your phone but I'm donating the device for his work aka ss bounty

Will safestrap be created for the Att version? If it is than I'm willing to donate...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BeansTown106:
in due time, att has selinux enforcing which is another task. but after safestrap is fully built for the verizon note3 the only thing left will be getting around selinux for it to work on the att note3 as well, which verizon will most likely enable in an ota. the verizon s4 just had selinux set to enforcing as well. so getting around selinux is gonna be hashs next task. so essentialy yes it will be built for att just not as soon as vzw because of selinux

All I need to say is we will have a ton of aosp roms because hashcode has the note 3, we will definitely have hyperdrive, and beans is going to develop for dev. Edition. What else do you need?

This is the OP of the safestrap thread over on the other site. In the OP is the donate link for the creator and who you should donate to, assuming you want to donate to the person that got us safestrap first.

hard bricked

hey beans, it seems I have a soft bricked note 3 and everytime I try to flash something whether it be through odin or even from adb sideload I get a signature verification failed. any ideas whats up. I was on new ota and rooted aswell as SS'd flashed beans rom and was working great then I power cycle and this. It's driving me nuts I cant do anything with the phone it boots to GN3 splash and that's where it stays. any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Surge1223:
I see lots of posts mentioning that the dev edition firmware can't be extracted into flashable odin tar(s) but none saying why. Whats blocking it? All partitions on the dev edition should be flashable..the fact that kernels and recoveries are able to be flashed means aboots not the problem. Did you upload any part of the dev firmware anywhere? Just curious.

The reason I ask is because when I asked the Samsung rep at Best Buy if we could get the dev edition firmware for the Vzw S4 and N3 last night, he said he couldnt get into it much but that there was a way to get them and it had already been done on the S4. He said there is an S4 thread on xda where they extracted the signed dev firmware. (Yes, he referred me to my own S4 thread. ) When I got into more detail about it he got more reluctant to talk about it and eventually refused to answer and then walked away.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LillieBennett:
We have been hoping for an Odin tar file from Samsung. If you are thinking of extracting an equivalent from a phone itself that would be cool. Someone who has that knowledge would have to chime in.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Surge1223:
Yeah that was my intention. Thought id ask to see if there was something I didnt know before I started though. Samsungs 4.3 partitions are harder to edit but ive still done it successfully. On the s4 we got the MJ7 ota a week or so before the odin tar was released I posted a pic of the md5's from the odin tar vs the dd'ed backups that we modded and they were the same. I was just wondering how you guys know for sure that its impossible to get the stock firmware? You should still be able to to flash the bootloaders (including the modem) if we mod them. The system partition is a little more difficult because the actual dd command has to be split into two different commands and to get the stock recovery the dd cant be of a custom recovery.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LillieBennett:
I'm not sure the impossible word was used much but the idea that most devs have abandoned samsung is very heavy. Sounds like a fresh, out of the box dev device will be needed. I wonder where the heck we'll get one but I would love to do this procedure. An alternative restore to custom recovery (Odin) is all most will want since the maximum warranty on an unmodified device is 30 days! Ridiculous snobbish holier-than-thou samsung, lol! Bless your heart for starting this topic. :)

5) Rebooted the device, as soon as screen goes black i pressed Vol Down+Home Button to enter Download mode

6) Open ODIN as administrator in PC

7) Connected Device to PC

8) Selected Pit file and AP file...make sure that only Auto Reboot, Re-partition and F.Reset Time are selected

9) After the MD5 is checked...Click on start and wait till the process is completed.

11) After the First boot, power off the device and boot into Stock Recovery using Vol Up+Home+Power Button.

12) Wipe Factory Reset/Data

13) Wipe Cache Partition & Reboot the device.

14) All steps are done...Thank You...

Different Sizes and Hex dump

I ran the following from a shell prompt using adb:

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot of=/sdcard/aboot.mbn

I looked at the size of the file compared to the one in the op and my file was larger. I opened the files in a hex editor and pulled a substantial amount of the hex code out from each into a diff tool and they are identical. The difference I can see is that the one from the op ends after 66,341 lines of hex. The last chunk from the op file is unreadable and is preceded by a bunch of 0xFF. My file has this same chunk, but the one that I pulled appears to continue on to line 66,342 with 6 more hex values before it starts with another chunk of 0xFF hex values and then it has one more blip of unreadable values. After that last chunk of unreadable values on my file it is followed by several thousands of lines of 0x00 hex values.

My main question is this: why is mine slightly different, and only at the tail end? TIA for any input!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bftb0:
because

(a) the partition is bigger than the size of the aboot image in order to accommodate future changes to aboot, and

(b) a crypto hash (MD5, SHA-1, etc) depends on the length of the input - even if the trailing stuff at the end is all zeros.

This is not specific to aboot - any backup you make of a full partition (e.g. boot, recovery, etc) will have a different MD5/SHA-1 hash than the file that was installed there, and will be larger than the orignal file flashed there 99.9999999999% of the time.

do a "ls" of the aboot.mbn file from the same (Odin TAR) release you have installed on your N3 and then dump the same number of bytes from your aboot partition into the "md5sum" program:

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot bs=1 count=<file-length> | md5sum

and you will find they have identical hashes.

.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ryanbg:
Is the dev aboot signed?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bftb0:
Got a copy I can look at?

You *might* be able to infer this by looking at coding entropy in the bytestream. ARM code (whether 4 byte or thumb) won't have a high bit entropy, nor will ASCII text strings (and of course are immediately visible to the eye), whereas PKI sigs should have nearly 8 bits of entropy per byte over their length(s).

The only caveat to this method of discrimination is if you are looking at executables with .data segments with compressed data. (For instance JPEGs, which the aboot.mbn indeed has). Compressed data by definition looks identical to crypto unless you can eliminate it with other means (e.g. jpeg/pkzip magic numbers, .zip footers etc) Only if you observe low entropy throughout the entire length can you conclusively say "no signature here". (Or if you can identify all such stretches as being conclusively attributed to some other use)

Hey,

Just thought everyone should know about this. This should work if you can modload working on the N3. This is compatible with nc4/nc2/ (Possibly nk1) with some modification to some symbol (you can find those ida). The reason for modload is that you will need to make a kernel module to add some custom things to qssecom and scm.c . Happy Hunting.
