The leak allows a "possible" exploit of our bootloader that would allow kernel modification. I'm sure smart people are trying. But what I've heard is that even the smarties will find this hard to do. Plus we don't even know if it will work.

I guarantee you if someone finds a way, it will be supwr noticable where to find that info on the forum.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] badchorizo:
Not trying to derail the thread, but it sounds like a couple of you bought devices outright "to keep unlimited data." Despite what vzw customer service and tech support may say, that is not true at all. I and many others with unlimited got a subsidized N3 from vzw. If you have a non-unlimited line on your account due for an upgrade, use it to get subsidized N3 on same capped data plan. Activate N3 and make calls on it. Turn off both phones. Go online and transfer lines on myverizon. Change N3 to your unlimited phone number. Take SIM card out of your current unlimited device and put in N3, turn on and call the device activation number just like you had purchased a phone outright from third party. There's another step in there about lUk8dia753 reactivating the original phone back on its original capped line, but I forget when you do it. Google knows. The point is Verizon will subsidize new devices that end up on unlimited data plans. In a circuitous way, it's legally required by the conditions of their purchase of the block c spectrum - the open device rule.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidstyle:
True but that does not work when the other lines on your account already have used their upgrade and are out 2yrs before they can upgrade. So from July 2012- July 2014, I have to buy my device outright to keep unlimited.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mgftp:
Being someone who is trying to learn about rooting etc. I have found this thread very useful. To me if I choose to root a phone the biggest benefits I see would be getting rid of bloat and the UI. I love "plain" Android and Nexus devices, I like things simple, uncluttered, as I believe the way Google intends for it to be.

So if I understand this correctly at this point with a rooted Note3 I can not enjoy the benefits of running a stock JB or KK rom as it was straight from Google? Something about a locked bootloader is preventing these type of roms from running on our devices as of now, and who knows for how long?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BigMcGuire:
You and I both - I find a huge attraction with the Nexus devices. Problem is, I'm on a carrier that refuses to carry them because they can't load adware on the phone and make a huge profit on what is already a huge profit (Verizon Wireless). I spent most of my youth on T-Mobile so when I got the Droid 1 on Verizon, I was pretty happy - better reception, etc... but the whole concept of adware really ticked me off. Without adware we could get a lot better battery life. These apps were running in the background of a phone I bought and paid money for (or promised $ for 2 years). What gives them the right to load it with adware?

The HTC Thunderbolt on Verizon - I was the first few to get it... The Blockbuster app glitched and was stuck downloading gigs of movie thumbnails. This killed the phone in 5-6 hours - no matter how many times you killed the app, it would start up and go downloading again till your battery ran out. Not only was Verizon forcing adware but the adware apps were so poorly programmed it drove me to Apple. Good job Google/Verizon! So after a few years of Apple (adware less phones) and relative bliss.... I went back to Android with the Moto X and now the Note 3. Sure, freezing Adware is nice... but rooting still provided much better battery life.

I'm one of those people who doesn't understand the idea of paying Direct TV/Cable TV $120+/mo for them to make $$$$ off of you via advertisements. If I pay retail for my phone (Verizon Edge plan) - I expect it to be mine.

I'm a sucker for ASOP.... but after owning the Note 3 for awhile (rooted) - I highly recommend you try it out. I'm getting insane battery life, the OS is light and fast, I run a custom launcher (Nova), and there is absolutely no adware/app that runs on my phone that I don't want. My only fear is... after the Note 3 (since the S5 is impossible to root and most likely the Note 4) - what will we have? Google Play Editions??? This mystical expensive Silver editions???

I'll try to keep my Note 3 as long as I can but if Google is getting rid of the Nexus lineup .... either I'll have to go back to T-Mobile - they do pay the ETF. Quite a few of the Verizon Note 3 devs left for T-Mobile.

Back to your post ---- there are quite a few lightweight roms to flashs on the Note 3 even a 600mb one! :P
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] shaw0050:
You can transfer your upgrade to one of those lines. That's what I did - the capped line I used isn't due for an upgrade for another couple of weeks, but mine was up back in December. So I "gave" that upgrade to the capped line, bought a Note 3, and then swapped sims.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidstyle:
Not sure how you accomplished that but I tried and was told I would lose unlimited if I transfered my upgrade to another line. Aside from that I will probably continue to purchase developer devices being Samsung retail devices can no longer be rooted.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mgftp:
If you are interested in a retail device and using your upgrade you can purchase from an online retailer such as best buy and select keep old plan and ship to home. As long as you insert your current sim card before powering it on and discard the new one they send you you will keep your UDP and have your contract extended two years when you power up the new device. The trigger to knock you off UDP is tied to the new sim, nothing else. There are many threads around various forums regarding this but look at android central and slickdeals if you wanna know more.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Morlok8k:
i kept unlimited by upgrading a basic phone (with no data plan) on my plan to the note 3, then switching it to my line.

edit: but i dont know how you get 20GB with reqular use. i get about 4-5gb with regular use, and my highest was 18gb in a month by USB tethering to my computer and torrenting a bunch of "linux software distros".
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] camphurt:
I actually order my phone online though verizon, not once but twice and was still able to keep my unlimited

Only In UpState New York
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidstyle:
Thats good to know, but you are still going to have to purchase a dev unit if you want root in the future. Or switch to Tmobile...rooting/rom's is going to be a thing of the past on VZW subsidized devices.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mgftp:
How does this make good business sense for VZW? I guess the figure they will make more from preloaded bloat ware than the customers they lose because of it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] neyenlives:
I would say almost nobody decides to cancel service because their phone came with a few apps they don't want. It's a non-starter topic.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] czach5932:
I was also running rsl7 hyperdrive fine and decided to switch to rsl8 kit kat and had nothing but problems. Not complaining at all, I don't know how to compile a rom but I didn't feel like troubleshooting anything anymore. I tried using the nc4 modem on 4.3 but battery drain was about double of the mje modem. What I would suggest (if you want kit kat) is flash the pre-rooted stock nc2 (upgrade to nc4 modem if you wish, found I get better reception in the boondocks) and use xposed for all your modding desires. I found using Gravity box, wanam and xblast I could modify and add whatever I wanted without having features I didn't want or need. And with the addition of Apex I have even more control over my phone then what stock hyperdrive offered.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bursthead:
If you get a chance try out mj7. I'm getting really good signal coverage for band 4 with it running rsl8.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyancompgeek:
Hi All...

I think there is a small bug in Samsung's Note 3 Signature Lock screen in KitKat.

Please tell me if other people face this issue on theirs because it definitely happens on my Note.

1. Set up Signature Screen Lock from Settings. Also set up a backup pin.

2. Test it out by locking the phone and then using the pen to unlock.

3. Go back to Settings. Attempt to change the screen lock method. It will ask you for the backup pin.

4. Enter any bogus 4 digit number and it should accept it.

This bug is really small (if it even is a bug)....but I was bored and I thought I'd share it with you all.

Who uses signature lock anyway? :P

Hi All! I came across a supplier that has nexus 5 extended batteries 3830 MAH that are plug and play.

These will replace your original battery and wont add any bulk to your phone.

They will be $35 shipped in the U.S.

Please make a list of everyone that is interested.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Well, other than not knowing the actual quality/longevity of the battery, or if it really gives 3830mAh, $35 is steep. Considering you can get it for $15.99 + shipping from aliexpress, you can pick up 2 for that price.

Guys, LG is one of the few companies which actually makes their own batteries (through the LG Chem subsidiary).

Do you really think some cheap chinese batteries probably made somewhere on a ship can have a better capacity/volume ratio than the ones provided by LG?

[Ornate TrueSmart] elsabea:
My omate truesmart 1/8/2100 developer edition with firmware 201301219, I think its from 1st or 2nd list shipped devices. What is the suitable upgraded firmware that i can install in it? And from where I can get it?
[Ornate TrueSmart] trent999:
I thought all the early shipping EU devices were 512/4/2100. There was a "working sensors" ROM that Lokifish pulled from another x201 for these and provided to those with one exact version of TrueSmart that worked.

Just to be clear, at this point it is now blindingly obvious that Omate is pushing out indistinguishable hardware revisions of "the" TrueSmart watch every time they order a new batch manufactured for them by Umeox. Each requires a different firmware to boot. There are nearly ten different and incompatible firmwares now each running on slightly different hardware. There is no way to distinguish between them except to try all different variants, and the one that doesn't leave your watch soft-bricked must have been right.

This situation is impossible to support, so Lokifish has deleted his patches and Roms and tool sets and left the Omate Dev scene.

My Samsung Galaxy SII with CyanogenMod 10.1.3-i9100 (stable) has the weirdest ringtone problem: if my wife calls the ringtone is the one I've assigned for her, if the next caller is unknown, it rings with my wife's ringtone, not with the default one... This happens with any of my specific ringtone contacts. I've no idea where to start looking for the problem. All my sets are ok, I'm no noobie and I know what I am doing. I think the problem comes even from a previous custom ROM, can't remember for sure.

I thought an app called Group Ringtones might be the culprit, uninstalled - same thing.

what am i to do?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] fLaWx:
Well im not sure of any other methods to try but i had loads of problems myself pushing files to the SDcard threw twrp and cwm recoveries, so the way I went about it was doing a decrypted RUU to return the phone to stock then once it loaded up in Android I pushed the Rom to the SDcard card then rebooted and started over.

Goto this thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46506621&postcount=2

All the way at the bottom you should see some links for RUU's, I used the one labeled "1.10.605.15 Decrypted RUU" You will flash this the same way as you would a firmware update, if you dont know how thats done that post will explain it all. After you flash the RUU reboot and it should be back to the day you got it, but you will still be s-off, at that point just put a custom recovery back on and flash away, however that RUU will downgrade your firmware so you might wanna update your firmware after you get the phone booted up and your rom placed back on the sdcard
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brymaster5000:
What he said. Good post dude.

When you enabled adb sideload, what command did you use? Because you don't push files that way. You type "adb sideload Rom.zip", then it will send the file and after it sends immediately start the install. So you will need to wipe in recovery first to make sure it's clean.
