oh ye who have little faith. I am sure that there will be a breakthrough soon......maybe.....but even without it, the Note 3 kicks ass, and it is still one of the best devices on the market. I could not imagine trading it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mrkhigh:
Offtopic but this is barely a bounty thread anymore. Just because someone uses knoxraid does not mean he agrees with the devs morals.

I don't support Sony I won't buy their products but given the chance to own a ps4 for free I'd take it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Stryke_the_Orc:
The off topic posting needs to stop or this thread will be closed. This thread is about gaining root, unlocking bootloaders and development towards those two goals. If you wish to retract your bounty, fine. But we don't need to know what device you have or what ROM you're on. On that note, ROMs, your dinner, your car, or your obnoxious neighbors have no part in the goals of the thread and therefore should not have any part in this thread.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] PeteSeiler2010:
Put me down for $10 for KK root and $15 for full bootloader unlock.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] kenscivic:
Thank you!!!! That is the truth. Heck of a phone regardless
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] eastbayarb:
I love my note 3. I just got a Moga Power Pro controller, and I am eagerly awaiting a root option for KK 4.4.2 so I can use the Game Controller 2 app (for touch screen emulation).
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] brauckmiller:
Hoping that they find a solution to this. Went to my AT&T store, no swap since I bought it in October. Went to the SES store and the guy was nice and tried to flash me back to JB, but no luck. Said he wasn't allowed to swap out even if I paid the restock. :(

If someone finds a method for the S5, what are the odds of that same fix working on the Note 3? Sorry if this is too OT.

I'm leaving my pledges in place, regardless.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] graydiggy:
U

But, you know what hardware and software is in the PS4.

The developer of KR scammed us out of a lot of money. Sony did not. There is a difference in that.

There is also a huge difference between getting a physical item worth hundreds of dollars and getting software worth nothing.

Furthermore, I am more upset that he is removing his pledge. Why? Because he obviously doesn't care about development. I don't even have the S5 or an account with VZW, but I still pledged $100 to their bounty because I care about development. Even if I get rid of my Note 3, I will still support this thread and keep to my pledge.

Anyways, I will be updating this evening. Keep the pledges coming!

To answer a question.

The chances of an S5 exploit or root working for us is actually pretty good. Might have to be tweaked a bit, but still looks really good for our favor.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
Good thing about technology. There is no such thing called "impossible" or "locked down forever". There is ALWAYS a way around. Just a little bit of patience from us and motivation to our devs that are working on it. It'll come. :)

Oh! And put me down for $20 for root, please (once we get that, the rest will follow).

from the tip of my fangers!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bobolink:
I'll sign up for $15.00 for root and $15.00 for unlocked bootloader.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] avisnofsky:
I'd like to up my pledge to $20 for either/or root or unlocked bootloader.

On a different note, I wish that there was some way to see the current progress of the devs working on this. ;)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] devinalonzo:
Pledge:

I reset my password to make this pledge of $20 for either/or root or unlocked bootloader.

I also request a page to view devs progress please :laugh:

-Thank You XDA for everything, over the years I have utilized your information soooo many times!:good::good::good:​
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TTLayland:
It is not in the best interest of these Developers to publicly share everything.

Samdung could take precautions and implement security fixes. Also these devs would rather communicate individually as it's quicker and produces less waste.

Personally I do not believe we will see an unlocked bootloader for this device. We would need more talent for this to get done.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Cod3L1ne:
If you actually believed that you wouldn't still be here lol the devs will unlock the bootloader just not on our time. Every firmware has new security but we always end up with a way to do what we want.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jaybrad1:
Please I would like to retire my pledge because I received today a Note 3 with 4. 3 from Att. Thanks and good luck.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bigpunisher:
I'd like to pledge $20 for either/or root or unlocked bootloader, though I'm thinking we may see root before bootloader...who knows....I know it's implied, but it's not said often...Much thanks to the devs for their hard work.

On a different note, I do wish AT&T/SAMSUNG would release a developer version of the note line of devices...quite like how Verizon has done for the Galaxy s4 etc etc...

Okay so I have all the time in the world with my leg being broken and all. If I were to contribute to this obviously daunting task of returning our freedom, where would one start? I'm on bed rest for 4 months at least so if anyone has information to point me in the right direction, I would love to help out with this!

We won't find out the exact details until the Black Hat 2014 conference which is in early August :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LanceM:
Can we get any type of update? Is anyone working on root/unlocking for a Note3 or are we waiting for it to happen on an s5 first?

yes I have pledged... And yes, I do think its fair to ask for an update on progress, I'm merely curious...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] naxnfishernj:
Put me down for 10 on boot loader unlock
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Luken10:
Put me down for $10 for the KK root, and $10 for a full bootloader unlock.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] graydiggy:
Sorry guys. Been really busy with work this week and preparing to move in the next couple weeks. I have had no time for XDA. I'll get this updated tomorrow evening. They are making me work on a day I am supposed to be off.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
[MENTION=4273149]graydiggy[/MENTION] do you have any idea what's going on? Where they're at now. Are they close to get root? Stuff like that. It's kinda quiet and no one is saying anything. I honestly don't even know who's working on getting root. lol

from the tip of my fangers...!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 1Zero3forlife:
Basically, it has all shifted to the S5, once that is figured out the Note 3 will follow.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mrkhigh:
Three things to my knowledge rumor is one popular Dev has root or unlock for Motorola kitkat. Another dev has exploited a "popular" phone and someone supposedly has a boot looping downgrade from kitkat.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] biggred78:
Kitkat official

Cant you just wipe the internal memory and format the phone and install custom roms after a complete format of phone and operating system is done? Just Wondering
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mrkhigh:
No.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
How are you going to wipe the Internal? Stock recovery doesn't have the option for that. Plus, wiping internal wouldn't reach the BL (that's locked). The Question is: Can we wipe everything including the bootloader and knox and everything (remove all the software and leave the phone only a body) and install a whole new bootloader/software?

from the tip of my fangers...!

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Stryke_the_Orc:
Ok, thread cleaned of all off topic chatter, arguing and nonsense. Hope the little vacation made it obvious that we're serious about the no off topic chatter.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] avisnofsky:
This has probably been explored already, but I remember reading about some android devices having a serial port integrated into the headphone port, with console access. Has this been investigated and inspected for vulnerabilities? If so, does anyone know the results?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ecs87:
This may sound really stupid and just asking for a brick, but has anyone tried injecting raw partition bootloader files from say MJ5 into a NC2 phone using adb shell (su obviously) and the dd if command, rebooting into Odin and seeing that the revisions have changed? The main reason why this sounds stupid is because it can hard brick your device. It could however work...in theory, seeing as how the files are coming from the same device and going right into the same partition name. The shop owner just won't let me use any N900As we have here to test this theory out.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jondoe27:
I'm wondering if it was an official response from AT&T someone posted about the boot partition locked (moderator deleted this post). It says smth about security and stability of AT&T network with Note 3 this why they locked the boot partition. Does it mean if the customer leaves for another provider AT&T should removed the Note 3 boot lock?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
The new bootloader files block every thing. You would have to somehow mount the phone as a drive.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jondoe27:
Kinda hard to believe that in the whole XDA/Linux/Windows etc. community there is not a single person who knows how to mount a phone as a drive or to make a full reformat at least.

May be we should start betting on unlock date (like a horses race) because the "bounty thing" doesn't work,obviously.:D
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
anything like this to mod a phone is way off base LOL when I tryed to mount the Note 3 in linx with phone in download mod and even recovery mod computer would not see it,
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jondoe27:
I have tried some stuff too. Found some tips from 2011/12 for the Linux by using terminal. Doesn't work. But I still believe there is someone out there with a such knowledge. It just can't be everyone are stupid like me. I prefer to be exceptional at my stupidity.:laugh:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Walter.White:
Wont work. For one..all the secure info (keys, signatures, knox counter, etc.) is stored in TrustZone and is encrypted (seperate from emmc/unmountable).

Also some parts of emmc are unmountable/secure and only TZ can access those low level parts.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] posersk8r:
So those encrypted signatures, is that why we can only run tw based roms? Our bootloader will not read other kernels with different signature?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Walter.White:
Exactly. It compares it against what's stored in TZ and if it doesn't match it won't boot/flashed by odin.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] posersk8r:
So in simple terms, like in a super secure airport you have to go through several security checks before they let you get to the plane? Sorry for that i have very limited knowledge to this type of things. Heard of this dude that won the lotto a long time ago by brute forcing all the number combination and spent millions. I assume the encryption on our devices has more than 6 digits or letters or combination of both?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mrkhigh:
It's encryption is beyond brute force yes.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 1Zero3forlife:
After 4 hours on the phone with AT&T and being sent through many channels for the wifi not working on my wife's note, I talked to a supervisor in warranty for over an hour. They know of my issue with wifi and the update coming by August should fix it. Also, he did state once the device is a year old, the phone will have the ability to have the bootloader unlocked. I was on the phone long enough with him I talked him into putting a note on the account of all the issues I have had since the software update and has actually CCd me on an email he sent upwards to his bosses so I can talk with further channels. I doubt I will here anything but he did note very prominently that I bought the phone at full price under no contract and I should be allowed to do with the phone as I please including downgrades. Luckily, my Note 3 replacement I got at SES was 4.3 but my wife is a hacker too, she is actually using her note 2 right now because of rom choice. I should probably just sell her 3.

So, all we can do is wait until the note 4 comes out and our note 3 is opened. I will never buy a phone again unless I know there is root prehand.

Later
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Cod3L1ne:
Just left att getting a replacement tomorrow hope they have 4.3 in Stock don't care about color. When recording video I get a error and force close, wifi connects only when it wants to
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] lawalty:
A year old? What? The fine gents and ladies at att will release some type of patch? Will it be some type of OTA or something? What makes them say it will "have the ability to have the bootloader unlocked"?

Sounds like a pipe dream to me!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
Sounds like a pile of horsesh*t! (directed to AT&T reps) LOL

from my locked note 3!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Evilspawn:
To clear the confusion(and wishful thinking) Att after a year will unlock the Sim carrier lock, not the bootloader.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
Exactly! None of the reps that you talk to on the phone knows anything about the bootloader (or they are probably trained to act dumb when asked about it). Once you ask them about the bootloader they tell you "you can unlock your phone from www.att.com/deviceunlock" and that's only for the SIM unlock. I was on the phone with them yesterday and I asked the rep if he knew what a BL is and he said "of course sir and you can unlock it by going to this website....blah blah".

from my locked note 3!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] biggred78:
Yes I am. I contacted somebody on facebook that they just rooted their S5. You can purchase the service on ebay for $15 dollars. I'm going to give it a shot. I've spent 15 on worse. I will keep you updated if it works or not.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
He's probably working on it right now. That's why he's not answering. Hopefully he'll come back with "hey I rooted my phone :)" lol

from my locked note 3!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Face_Plant:
I don't want to sound like a pessimist, but I have a feeling that it will be like the SRS Root that someone brought up awhile ago. It claims to work on NC2, but it doesn't do squat.

They claim that it works on all versions of the Note 3, but when was the page last updated? It might be from before the KitKat release and only works on Jellybean.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
Eh! Doesn't hurt to try, you know! If there is root then good, if not. Oh well!

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Cod3L1ne:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Face_Plant:
This seems kind of fishy to me....

How did you get it for $15? According to the site it's $50.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Cod3L1ne:
He is taking to long to respond with result he should be on here sayn something by now I'm ready to buy heck I would rather pay a known or unknown Xda member $50 then to trust some nobody heard ofs
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] lildoggs:
This sounds a bit fishy to me as well. I don't feel comfortable giving a complete stranger full access to my computer. Especially since I use my computer for online purchases, But I'm keeping my fingers crossed anyway. I can always use a laptop that I use to do Web surfing and that alone. :D
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jcase:
These root services are scams, they used public exploits released by ppl like me. They have no secret sauce
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Face_Plant:
This was posted over in the Verizon S5 forum as well and Jcase seems to think that it's bullshizzle. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] lawalty:
It's DEFINITELY fishy! If "whoever" can root our phones simply by using a free service like Teamviewer, which I use on a periodic bases, by doing something, can easily post the "how to" guide for everyone to use!

Think about it! If it is true that they can root our N3s, why not simply post a step-by-step guide and collect the BOUNTY?!?!?!

Guys, I wouldn't trust this!

If not him then someone else might. We already know what Vuln (CVE-2014-3153) he exploited...we/someone smart like [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] just need to figure how he exploited that vuln. He probably also exchanged some ideas on irc so they might know what steps he took.

He was first to release 4.4.2 Root for a phone with locked BL (for Moto X, a tethered root).. now [MENTION=3280118]geohot[/MENTION] is second person to root 4.4.2
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
No worries. They won't be able to patch it before they see what it is (also it's not as easy as it sounds. It'll take them a while to make the patch and release the update). Also, just use "app ops starter" app from the playstore and turn off everything the AT&T updater can access. And you should be fine. Or whenever you see the update for aced upon you, just turn off wifi and it'll stop. If not turn phone off and remove sim. Many ways to stop it man.

Yeah dude I'm sure they will find something. It's now narrowed down to this single vuln and they'll get it done. Maybe [MENTION=2348906]designgears[/MENTION] could participate as well. I'm pretty confident they will.
