Not necessarily my opinion. Just what I've taken away from what other people have said. It's pathetic the a** kissing some people give to developers. If I was a serious dev, I would dislike all of that. It seems so, I don't know, not real emotion?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Zedjones:
I have a rooted Note 3 pre-KK and I can flash ROMs without tripping Knox. I don't know if the same principles will apply now, but I'm pretty sure my Knox wasn't tripped when I flashed KNOXRaid. I have DynamicKat Xtreme now, and I don't think that tripped it either.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] graydiggy:
If someone comes up with a method for say root and a workaround to the bootloader, they can get all the money pledged in those 2 categories.

If that same person then gets a full bootloader unlock, they will get what is in that category.

or...

The money can be split 3 ways between 3 different people.

If someone say gets a full unlock to the bootloader, then that closes out the workaround and I will see about splitting them half for the workaround and the full amount for the full bootloader unlock.

No one is actually obligated to pay. It is an honor system.

There will be a paypal account opened and I or a moderator will handle it and once everything is collected, we will send it to the person/s that got us what we need.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] paniro187:
25 for root 50 for unlock
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Stryke_the_Orc:
Pretty much this ^

The way I see it set up (as described in the OP) you guys are pledging to separate categories, Full Unlock, Work Around, and Root. Now the BL unlock, both full and work around, should be considered the same thing; someone gets either and that category is closed. This is no to say that work towards a full unlock should be halted if a work around is achieved, but for the purposes of this thread it would satisfy the bounty.

Root is a separate item and should be paid differently.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jasonstackhouse:
I read this post on reddit and it has really really been bothering me. Let me share the words of some person no one has ever heard of:

"give up, its not happening. the people with the skills to do it arent interested in such a small amount. and when i say small i mean the exploit required to bypass everything would be sellable to a lot of places for tens of thousands. most of the ones who could/would do this for the community are no longer involved with things"

Im sorry but I seriously beg to differ with this guy, and here at XDA its not about tens of thousands of dollars its about curious intuitive minds doing things for the soul purpose of making them better. Whoever this guy was that wrote this is a total idiot, and just for his remarks, I pledge $500 dollars for a full unlock. I want someone to crack the whole thing wide open.

So assuming that what has been discovered is able to be turned into an end-user tool, would this count as a workaround of a full unlocked bootloader achievement? they are just signing tools which serves to bypass the security of the bootloader, not actually unlock it? or?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TTLayland:
The files provided are still being discussed by developers. Still if it worked it could be used to unlock the bl I imagine. I feel it would be worthy of full unlock status.

Some of you guys are putting down quantities of money that would serve well as a "grey area" if you just sold your ATT Note 3's and bought a TMO Note 3 for the same amount.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TTLayland:
Yeah anything over 100 Is odd to me. But hey if they pay it's whatever to me. I'm still in for 40
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Stryke_the_Orc:
They put down that money not for the unlock, but to show their appreciation for the developers. It's easy to go buy an unlocked device, but then there's no room for development in locked devices, its not easy to unlock or bypass these items and I would imagine that they feel as though they've helped the community as well as the dev.

Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TTLayland:
it might be useful to add the bounties from other device variants (and forums) to the total. Obviously note that they are from different devices and add that the only way to receive those bounties is to successfully unlock all the device variants. Its been done before with Motorola phones and the old GS4. I have faith this can happen again for us. Although I expect it to take some odd months.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Stryke_the_Orc:
I would like to see this kept to this device, if other devices and forums are included it can get extremely messy. That being said, if the others are locked as well try seeing if any developers working on those are interested in this.

Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TTLayland:
I want to add that even though I'm in the process of selling this Note 3 for a T mobile variant I'm still committed to my pledge. Sadly I also believe only someone like djrbliss could tackle this beast. I suggest everyone tries switching to T mobile to show support for their boot loaders. I know if it weren't for my bill being covered I would have already switched.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Neroga:
Has any devs tried applying the Loki patch? I know it's not a well known thing, but it worked wonders for the Optimus G Pro with a locked bootloader. The bootloader is still locked, but we have all the functionality of an unlocked one. AOSP ROMs, custom kernels, etc etc.

Wasn't it patched for this device? I don't think Samsung would let it happen again.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] graydiggy:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Walter.White:
I already tried it. aboot is already patched. :(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] graydiggy:
Was it patched in MI9?

Is there a possible brute force attack that can be used? Like a DDOS attack of sorts... Just spam it til it breaks or overloads and breaks.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tropazr:
Are we offering the bounty if Knox is tripped? At this point....we might as well..right?

Edit: Everything I have read....people working on it want to preserve Knox 0x0. Correct me if I am wrong?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] graydiggy:
Unfortunately I cannot offer the bounty if Knox is tripped. Some people do need it in tact.

However I personally don't care and would donate a decent amount if it is tripped. There are also quite a few users that do not care about Knox either.

I don't need Knox for work nor do I need it for warranty... Soooo. Yeah.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tropazr:
I could absolutely care less if Knox is tripped...yeah...I understand warranties & work....but shouldn't we at least explore a Knox trip if it means an unlocked bootloader for those that are interested? Maybe we need to start yet another bounty. I don't care how dirty it is (within reason obviously) as long as it works.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Walter.White:
Unfortunately it's been patched since day one (even MI1 was patched).

Samsung hashes/signs the files with SHA-256 so that means even if we had all the computing power in the world it will take decades to simply brute force it.

Currently I see only 4 ways this can work.

1. Someone leaks samsung's signing key (Highly unlikely, since only select few have access to it).

2. Someone finds a exploit in Samsung's chain of trust (Kinda like what Loki exploit did).

3. Someone leaks a Unlocked BL (Kinda like what happened with VZW S3. Hoping that "African-Canadian Sock Monkey" strikes again)

4. Someone figures out a way to convert Retail units into Dev units. (Possible since Samsung uses software differences to convert retail unit into dev unlike Motorola who uses hardware differences).
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] graydiggy:
Well... In order to test, we need a lot of devices available. I'm all for it though. I would prefer to have Knox untripped strictly for resale value. But at this point I don't even care about that.
