nope seems like no interest in our phone the only reason the note4 got rooted is because a couple of Devs owned the note4 i don't think any of them bought a note edge oh well, i tried to help out but no one with dev edge wants to help....
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] newbroot83:
What information exactly do you need?
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] bigbooker455:
The HTC 10 just came out with 6.0 already rooted!
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] newbroot83:
Wow....that's insane
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] bigbooker455:
I'm done with samsung phones forcing bloatware, ads, locked down tight and not even give us the choice to unlock if we want to like HTC does WTF i now am a proud owner of a $700.00 POS!

At least HTC gives you a CHOICE!!! :mad:
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] newbroot83:
I agree. I'm a firm believer if you break it by doing things you don't you should pay. If it's a problem with the hardware then warranty should cover it
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] bigbooker455:
The HTC M8 had the best speakers on a phone i ever heard!
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] newbroot83:
I've got an upgrade coming up soon. I may jump ship to an HTC and see what I think. I had the hero and desire years ago. They were terrible

[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] newbroot83:
Running hot ain't too bad. There should be a couple kernels to help with that anyway.

Sorry for the delay, I've been terribly busy. I should be getting Wednesday off, so hopefully between now and then I'll be able to get time to get the aboot and Cid over to you.

[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] bigbooker455:
Well looking like last post i read it's gonna happen!

I think [MENTION=5848265]npjohnson[/MENTION] has quit working on it all together. He will not respond on hangouts. I have sent him my cid and aboot, now I'm a bit concerned with sharing any more info. Esp, the CID.

Okay. No. As I have stated in multiple threads, I am COMPLETELY occupied from the month of April through the end of May due to AICE testing. I have 8 papers left, then I will be able to work on this.

Plus, the tools to finish this are already public.

You compile SamsungCID (in a KitKat tree), and use it to change the CID using temp root, then you can flash the corresponding developer edition aboot via ODIN. The reason I haven't release it is that there is an easier method.

Ryan has a slightly better method, he extracts the CID blob from the developer edition aboot, and places it into the current aboot partition, then changes the CID to match the blob. This allows us to convert without needing to be on the developer edition aboot's increment version to unlock.

I have opted to not release the former method, as it could result in people who don't read thoroughly enough bricking due to flashing the old aboot on a newer increment.

I will contact Ryan again to remind him.

My Note 4 arrives in the mail tomorrow. I just was not expecting any news like this! I can only have one or the other. I'm still thinking of bailing on my Edge... I think I just ran out of patience. Any advice?

So i guess my dilema is.. Bigger xda developer support vs novelty and convenience (I like my case, still mint condition) but making due with only xposed for customizations and what not.
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] bigbooker455:
Well i look at like this the newer the phone from samsung the harder it will be to root them so gonna stay with this phone for a bit, seems like the Devs like HTC better anyways and the best network locks the bootloader and samsung won't let you unlock like HTC does.....

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------

there will be some development for the edge when rooted.
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] bigbooker455:
Wow there is a lot of development already for the note4!
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] newbroot83:

[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] pmterp:
You taking it?
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] bigbooker455:
No because can't temp root yet, I was reading in the note4 forum that someone took update and was able to roll back to 5.1.1 because he couldn't temp root and try unlock software, so that's good from a testing standpoint. I guess us edge guys need a copy of the OTA to look what's in the package. :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] bigbooker455:
Guess will wait for a tar release.....
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] pmterp:
I can't see myself paying extra for a DE in the future. I'm pretty sure I'm done with Samsung on VZW. This was my first non-HTC smartphone since I wanted a better camera. The camera is great but not worth the trade off in my opinion. I'm thinking I'll be trying whatever Nexus device comes out this fall. It would be pretty cool if someone achieves unlocked bootloader on the Edge but I stopped holding my breath waiting for it a long time ago.
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] newbroot83:
Does verizon even release nexus devices anymore? Last I heard they was no longer supporting them. I know you can buy them from other sources and use them on verizon but in the end it'd be the same thing. It'd still cost about 600 dollars
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] Vorridor:
Got in contact with npjohnson, he confirmed that he IS working on it. ;)
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] newbroot83:
Hell yeh
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] pmterp:
Correct, cannot get a Nexus directly from Verizon. While I'd rather get the phone on the VZW payment plan it would be worth it to me to buy it retail price. What I meant was, I can't see paying extra so I can have an unlocked version of the same phone that's cheaper locked. Extortion! Funny, I'd happily contribute to a dev who unlocks the locked version lol. It's not the price, it's the principle.

Plus, the Nexus has a lot of community development and attention.
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] newbroot83:
I agree with your statement about the nexus devices. Development is nice for them. However, I would gladly pay an extra hundred dollars for a device that is shipped unlocked. I hate having to wait for someone else to do the work for me.
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] Vorridor:
Now imagine if all people thought like that. People who bought retail would be skrewed if someone who bought a DevEd said "I can't see giving my paid for unlock files to someone who can't afford or isn't willing to go the extra mile". It would probably piss some people off aye.

That road goes two ways and one hand helps the other bud.

[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] max366:
I think I'm in love :D
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] pmterp:
When the unlock happens, what ROMs will we be able to run? There isn't much listed specifically for the VZW version. Will we be able to use Slim Rom or CM that are listed in Edge original development? What about Note 4 ROMs, think they will run on it? (since it hasn't happened yet, speculation is fine)
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] Vorridor:
It's all speculation for now, but as soon as it's unlocked the world of development opens it's door's. Every dev with a locked edge will be hittin it.
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] newbroot83:
Absolutely. And once the flood gates open I'll try them all lol. He'll I'd be happy with safestrap. I just like to be able to debloat mine, although making it snappy is a great perk

Supposedly there is a way to put twrp on the Note edge even though it's locked...
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] Vorridor:
I wouldn't risk it myself. I actually soft bricked this morning, messing with different twrp versions. Lost recovery completely.

do you know the procedure?
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] newbroot83:

[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] bigbooker455:
do you know the procedure?
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] newbroot83:
https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote4edgevzw.html

Down towards the bottom there is a no root method. If you attempt let me know how it goes
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] bigbooker455:
Yeah that won't work because the bootloader is locked already tried it you can Flash this phone with the right software and it won't break it but if you flash the other software and the partitions are in different places that's when you'll have a brick because the bootloader is still locked on this phone nothing will Flash....
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] newbroot83:
This is solely for putting twrp recovery on. Not flashing roms. I'm kind of leary of it, but since it is made specifically for us with a locked bl I'm also very curious
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] bigbooker455:
this is the recovery we will use if gets unlocked.....
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] newbroot83:
Personally I'd love to have ss
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] bigbooker455:
This is what happens when you flash that recovery, phone boots fine.
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] Vorridor:
Do you have access to it?
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] bigbooker455:
no it won't flash if it would then we could work on rooting it....
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] Vorridor:
Thought so.
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] bigbooker455:
I tried an experiment I rooted with kingroot then installed Flashify Force flashed TWRP recovery then rebooted to a soft brick telling me to use Kies I then took the latest firmware extracted the recovery turning into a flashable tar and flashed stock recovery and phone booted fine with stock recovery.
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] Vorridor:
In that process couldn't you have booted and rooted then finished procedures.
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] bigbooker455:
nothing will flash, even on note 4 you can't root the normal way because of SE linux....
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] Vorridor:
SeLinux is enforcing on dev ed also
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] bigbooker455:
if anything happens with bootloader unlock a new kernel will have to be put together so knox won't be a problem, with unlock we should be able to update to marshmallow when some dev. makes a flashable zip....

[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] Vorridor:
What do you think would happen if we pushed my aboot and cid/ then push my full backup to a retail?
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] bigbooker455:
This is what i think would happen it will change the CID flash the aboot but no developer mode, the phone should boot fine and if didn't odin it back to stock but CID will be changed but that won't matter for service. The smart thing to do backup CID just in case.

---------- Post added at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 AM ----------

i believe npjhonson is having a problem because of bootloader difference....
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] Vorridor:
And the BL changes with os version. But should be the same on alike os's just not unlocked. But then if the Unlocked BL was flashed in conjunction it "should " complete the sequence. One would think.
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] newbroot83:
I can't get the damn image downloaded. Aggravation lol
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] bigbooker455:
Yes if were the case, i would have used the note 4 software inject your info into it and bam unlocked, but something i'm not understanding is going on....
[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] Vorridor:
Ok so we got recovery, aboot, cid, boot os. That's the firing order I believe. Then there's all the other partitions that may or may not have an impact. I will try to screen cap the exact partitioning and firing order and that may give us a clue. Your take?

[Verizon Note Edge Android Development] bigbooker455:
If you read the problem with note 4 they had..

One of the setbacks they had with the Note 4 was finding one that had the *latest* bootloader installed, since Samsung only released the Dev Edition with the original bootloader, and never updated it. (There's no OTA) So... the only users with newer BLs were the ones that had accidentally locked their phone with a retail OTA and had to have Samsung unlock it again. I volunteered the info from my Note 4 Dev Edition, but it was still on the original bootloader release.

I kinda wish i had access to a dev. edge i would do an OTA to 5.0.1 then return the phone to samsung service center and ask them to unlock my phone and tell them why should i stay on 4.4.4 when there are security issues on 4.4.4!
