Long story short samsung repaired my phone and I think they sent back retail ed.

How can I tell

in download mode it says qu

qualcom secureboot : enabe (csb) is

that reads to me like boot loader is locked.

Anyone?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stueycaster:
Under Download Mode it says "Mode: Developer" if it's still a Developer Edition. The guy I got mine from had the same thing happen. The first time he sent it in they sent it back with retail firmware in it. He got back in touch with them, sent it back and the second time they got it right. But before it came back he switched to T-Mobile. He sold me his Verizon Note 4 Dev Ed. It's working like it's supposed to now.

They can do it right but you'll probably have to hassle them to get it done. Good luck. :fingers-crossed:

Important note!!

TO ALL OWNERS OF THE SAMSUNG NOTE 4 DEVELOPER EDITION (VERIZON)!

IF YOU HAVE DORKED UP YOUR PHONE - i.e. if you flashed the OTA with greater than version BOAF (or any version which took your developer phone and cooked it into a retail item), please read...

I just sent in my phone to Samsung, as I was one of "those" who accidentally whacked my Note 4 back to retail stone age!!

My phone is on it's way back, they overnighted the device.

Not only did they reflash my phone back to developer (gosh, would just love that ability to do that, yes!!), but my screen had burn-in and asked if they could replace the screen - I'd pay for it. They charge $237.01 to do it, BUT (BIG BUTT) the deemed it a manufacturer defect, and replaced it for no charge - NICE!

But, there are a few things to note: that's if you want to preserve the Note 4 for a while.

1. If you are stuck in retail mode, Samsung will fix it, at no charge. it takes a little less than two weeks to get it back to you.

a. Call 888 987-4375, follow the prompts, when you get to your first representative, ask them to pass you through to a service / support supervisor. Then, state you have a developer edition in which got put into retail mode (say it took an update) and you'd like it to be flashed back to developer - PLEASE NOTE: They will push it back to KitKat (ANJ5) "what the phone came with". They should not give you a hassle, they'd be glad to do it as a free service.

b. If there is another legit issue (like screen burn-in; in my case) they will diagnose it, and screen burn is typically covered, even out of warranty - pending any determination of additional abuse, but they will generally cover it. Additionally, any other defect that they may find, they will replace as...

c. Historically, my experience with Samsung is, even if the device, monitor, tv, computer etc is not functioning properly, even out of warranty they will repair it, again, pending any signs of abuse. this has been my experience - i.e. in 2003 I had a Samsung monitor which had a intermittent bug in it - even 2 years after the initial complaint and out of limited warranty, they had a new monitor in my hands next day, couldn't have been nicer too me, and I did not have to ask, they offered.

So, having said that - Though I think Samsung is completely dog-gone batty for doing up the Note 5 / S6 the way they did (sooooooo applesque) - they do stand behind their products.

Can someone take a picture of the download screen that shows its a developer edition. I'm having a hell if a time communications with plano repair. They are either playing dumb or they are dumb. Got phone back broken first time second time broken but locked. Now they are sending me emails saying phone checks out fine what is the problem. I need to show them what an unlocked boitliader looks like I think it im going to get a retail phone back again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stueycaster:
It's not too clear but maybe it'll be Ok.

Update: Did you follow the directions posted by [MENTION=5790686]anticloud[/MENTION] one post above my last post? Who is plano repair? The only people who have a prayer at knowing how to deal with a Dev Ed phone is Samsung Corporate Headquarters. And even there only a small handful of people who actually set up the Dev Ed phones are going to know what to do.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] reagan1998:
Hello, I have a Nexus 7 2013 and I love it. One of the main reasons I got this tablet is because it is a flagship Google device and it could run custom ROMs well. I want to throw Kali Pwn pad on it. When I flashed Kali, it looked like it flash successfully, but when it started it would just hang on the Google screen. Since KitKat was the latest edition of KitKat when pwnpad was launched, I decided I should try to flash stock KitKat and see what happens, it appeared like it flashed right, but when my tablet started it would still hang on the Google logo. I also tried to flash CM 11, and still the same thing happened. Every ROM I flash that is based on 4.4 hangs on the Google logo. The farthest I am able to downgrade is Android 5.0.0. My tablet came with 5.0.1 out of the box. I am currently running CM 12.1-20150814 Nightly. Another note, the only recovery I can get working TWRP MultiRom, the other verisions of TWRP (along with CWM) cant mount anything. My goal here is to get either Pwnpad or Nethunter (Nethunter would just hang on the Nexus animation, but I don't think I had enough patience that evening to let it run) installed.

Thank you for your help

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] reagan1998:
Solved

OK here is what I found. Yes you can downgrade to KitKat, if you flash this bootloader (attached) after you install your KitKat based ROM. I was able to get Kitkat NetHunter running on a deodexed ASOP ROM. The only recovery I could get running with it is the Multi-rom TWRP recovery, don't get it from the Multi-rom app, just flash the attached recovery. The weird thing is that I bought this tablet directly from Amazon, not Groupon. All talbets coming from Groupon seem to be having the TWRP mounting and the downgrading issues. I notice also that my tablet has a leaking screen. I have taken this tablet to Haiti in mid July. That might be part of the problem, but I think it is a factory defect. I bought the tablet at the start of July.

How could we have truetype on landscape?

I have tried "sktools", it works but everytime when I switch off the device, and turn it on. everything is back to default, which is no truetype on landscape mode again.

Anyone knows any program could let me have truetype on landscape even I turn off and on my device?

Thanks in advance!

Hello elders. Need one again, your help. In fact, I have an 4.2.2, 2GB internal memory, android based tablet which I want to flash cause too slow running, even after factory reset. But, that's not the first reason of why I'm posting this. ?I've tried many times to find a discussion file here on your website but never can I cause I don't exactly know which kind of tablet I have. Turned on, I can read this message "Samsung GalaxyTab 3 7.0" but if I search on google writing down in the search field that words, I always see another tablet, never the one I actually have, holding those specifications. If I go in the settings, "About the phone" at the right place of "Phone model", I can reed "N968" but if I google it too, nothing. it belongs to none of the differents varieties of GalaxyTab 3 7.0 I've googled.

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.

You didn't specify on which device you installed Android "M" Marshmallow, but your profile mentions the Nexus 6. In the Nexus area I see several subforums and threads dealing with "M", including a general discussion thread at http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/android-m-discussion-thread-t3120782. I suggest you ask your question there where other members are likely to be able to help you. Since you're a long-time member, I'm sure you can find a similar thread for another device if the Nexus is not what you had in mind.

Good Luck!
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cas8180:
So I am surprised no has caught this yet. But the 2015 with far lesser hardware than that of the idol 3 is getting very high praises. The one main thing that is really standing out to me is the performance reviews. The snapdragon 400 with 1gb of ram and just how smooth this phone runs. I would think this would be a major jab at Alcatel on how unoptimized their software on the idol 3 is. I think this is also a testament that our phone is very capable of a butter smooth experience without any lag or stutters what's so ever if this can be done on the moto g.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] famewolf:
So for $50 less I give up 1/2 the megapixels on the front and rear camera's...1/2 the internal storage, 1/3rd the screen resolution (assuming going from 1080p to 720p is only 1/3rd) drop Lollipop back down to Kitkat (based on http://www.bestbuy.com/site/motorol...-u-s-version-black/9055007.p?id=1219387046337) and I'm sure there's more....no thanks...the time of the idol 3 is NOW. It's been rooted..has TWRP....has xposed framework working and source has just been released. Or were you trying to compare the idol 3 4.7? You didn't specify.

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] famewolf:
Ok..here's a good side by side from phonedog...with the exception of battery life the idol 3 seemed to be the winner but maybe you'll lean the other way. I know I'm not giving up my dual speakers, 1080p screen and reversible feature which works really well in the car to charge it while sitting in a poor man's dock (the cup holder). Sounds like you'd have to bump up to the 2gb/16gb model for the closest match and that's gonna be $220 vs $200 (currently the idol is priced at $250 but it was when I purchased it as well and they put it on sale for 1 day in July so I was able to submit a price protection claim with my credit card bringing it down to $200...I'm sure similar specials will pop up since the preorder price was also $199)

It's very confusing when they pull all this 2nd gen, 3rd gen or Nexus 5 2015 vs the old Nexus 5 stuff because you are never sure which one someone is talking about..I didn't even know thr 3rd gen moto g was out.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cas8180:
Ya. I should have articulated my point better. And my point was this. The 3rd gen moto (with far inferior) hardware than the idol is getting praises left and right and many are voting it asbthe best budget phone for the money. And one of the main points they bring up is just how fluid and snappy the new moto g is with less ram and smaller processor than that of the idol 3. So with that logic the idol 3 should be outperforming the moto g with responsiveness and snappyness and zero lag. But its not. I was hoping that Alcatel might take note of the new kid in the block. Get concerned about potential loss sales to the moto g and optimize the idol 3 to be a great performer with zero lag the way it should be.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guapinoy:
Comparing apples to apples. The Idol 3 4.7 is better than the Moto G 2015. They both have snapdragon 410 but the G just having a higher clock speed at 1.4 vs 1.2. I returned my Moto G when I got the Idol 3 4.7. It's just a better phone for me. As far as lag, I had the Idol 5.5 when it first came out before some of the updates and I remember there was some lag especially when clearing all recent apps. The Idol 3 4.7 does not have that lag that I experienced with the bigger Idol. The 410 is a fantastic processor especially for pushing out only 720p. More YouTube reviewers should do a comparison between the Idol 4.7 and the Moto G and not the Idol 5.5. Closer in specs and price point.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cas8180:
You pretty much validated my point though on how the beefier heavier specd idol 3 5.5 should run flawless and as smooth as butter when lesser hardware clearly can.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] famewolf:
Well one good point is the 5.0.x series of lollipop is KNOWN to be laggy...that was one of the main improvements to 5.1...with the source released we can perhaps look at Cyanogenmod in our future and eliminate alot of the lag we are dealing with now along with some optimized kernels. I think after some custom rom's come out you'll end up much happier with the idol 3 overall.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cas8180:
Yup the 5.0 builds are very buggy and laggy but its interesting that the 4.7 inch idol with lower processor still runs smoother. I don't think we as consumers should have to root and go through all of those hoops just to have a well performing device based on the hardware running it. And from owning the oneplus one and running cm as my daily driver for quite sometime I would personally never run it again. Not only do I not support Steve and his initiatives and his company but often times cm introudced more bug than it solved issues. So that's a no go for me. I am simply asking Alcatel to optimize their flagship device the way it should be. But who knows maybe it will happen when we get the 5.1.1 update.

Right now I swap between my zenfone 2, idol 3 and oneplus one. The only thing keeping me from using my idol 3 as my daily.driver is the lag. And it's very noticeable when jumping between phones.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJP1029:
I had decided to wait for the moto G 3rd gen before upgrading from the 2nd gen however...

Amazon day sale...

That was literally an insane price. Too good to pass off and I went for the upgrade.

Comparing it to the 3rd gen.. I'm not at all regretting getting the Alcatel. Gorilla Glass alternative is good, battery life is significantly better than the moto G, display resolution is a nice plus.

Water proofing just isn't a feature that makes or breaks my decision.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maigre:
I agree with the point about consumers shouldn't need to depend on rooting, custom kernels and ROMS. Even if I indulge in all of the above. If that's what it takes to make a phone usable, then this phone and manufacturer will fade back into oblivion. And I also haven't found custom ROMs to be a panacea. For all the talk about being "buttery smooth," "rock solid" and such, it isn't always that way. I've had some prominent ROMs that plainly gave me more problems than stock Android. But I like to experiment and I like the customization options that the ROMs provide. And I really like being rid of all the Google bloat.

I waited awhile with my Nexus 4 before upgrading to Lollipop because I wanted to keep running Xposed and it wasn't available on Lollipop for awhile. But after I did, I almost reverted because of the poor performance with 5.0x. So it's disappointing to have to be running 5.02 on the Idol 3 on the eve of the release of Android M.

I'm not holding my breath waiting for many ROMs, kernels and such on this phone. Is there a big enough community who's going to use them that people will bother to build them? I hope the answer is yes, but I'm not so sure.

All that said, I like this phone more than I thought I would. I'm having occasional laggy and erratic performance, but most of the time, it's fine, a bit better than I might have expected. And I love the light weight and the display. The current crop of flagships tend to be 30 grams heavier, a very noticeable difference. And the colors look better to me on this phone than they do on some of the pricier ones with whites that aren't white or over-saturation. Some of that's adjustable with custom kernels, but not all of it. The Nexus 6 I use sometimes, for all its many strengths, is guilty of both color problems and being uncomfortably heavy by comparison.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cas8180:
Ya I would have to agree with you an all of the points you highlighted. This is a fantastic device on so many levels. Just wish the damn thing didn't lag. The biggest lag issue I had was with typing.
