Because I figured he wasn't interested all this talk then no response so I reached out to anyone for help. Trying to get us on the correct path that's all.

@nolenjohnson the Google drive links to the CID and aboot should work just fine that's how I sent them via email to beaups. I could always email them to you or start a hangouts chat with me alexp1289@gmail.com and I can send them that way. I tried to hangouts chat you but it said you never excepted my invitation.

And most importantly don't bug the guy I'm sure this isn't a quick thing to whip up. I've only been posting so many links so I can be assured he gets what he needs.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dfeldt91:
:P TWRP works..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alexp1289:
Lmfao :)

Our next mission is to get twrp updated for our devices. Last time I tried running twrp it gave me boot loops on my developer edition. What version are you using? I've been using the latest hltetmo twrp but we should really have our own so there's no need for build prop edits every time we want to flash a compatible rom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ryanbg:
What we really need is to bring some devs back here to get the Note 3 back to the top. I'm talking to you [MENTION=4854133]bajasur[/MENTION] [MENTION=4939386]Surge1223[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] (When you have time ;) )

Oh, I was unaware it had issues.

---------- Post added at 05:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 AM ----------

Using TWRP, I just installed CM 13 without bootloops or any other issues. I am using a TWRP provided by another user. I am unaware of which version it is.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alexp1289:
Which cm 13 did you install? Did APN's work and connect to Verizon automatically? Links please. [MENTION=766721]ryanbg[/MENTION] just sent me the unlock since I helped earlier today so I'm unlocked now as well :D now I have two unlocked note 3's lol. I just tried the latest TWRP with Flashify which is a good app to use to install a recovery and it works just fine so I take back the comment I made earlier. I have not flash cm13 yet so I can't comment on that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dfeldt91:
I am using ATT and all worked for me from the get go. DO NOT download the newest version, call audio is not working. Scroll down and download the earlier version. Here is the link to what I installed... http://www.google.com/url?q=http://...sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNGLHX5XyvWw_l0Nuj4Rl5KGqCQoFQ

Also, I installed TWRP with Odin and it worked that way since the TWRP app was giving me issues.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alexp1289:
*****I TAKE ABSOLUTELY NO CREDIT FOR THIS UNLOCK METHOD I ONLY HELPED TEST*****

**ALL CREDIT FOR THIS BOOTLOADER UNLOCK GOES TO THE FIREWATERDEVS TEAM**

--Once the unlock is officially released and your Verizon Note 3 is unlocked I would use Flashify to flash the latest TWRP recovery. This is the easiest way to flash a recovery and keep it up-to-date: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify

Just wanted to post some proof that the Verizon Galaxy Note 3 is now bootloader unlocked I'm using the 0F1 firmware on a stock retail Note 3. I filmed this with my Developer Edition Note 3 if anybody's wondering sorry if the video quality is a little poor. It's hard to get it to focus correctly all the time when you're trying to record another screen. Also there are no links to the files you need to unlock your Verizon Note 3 because we are not supposed to share these files you need to wait for the official release. I do have plans on making a tutorial for anybody that has trouble doing the unlock on their computer.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] audit2:
Which TWRP did you flash? I assume it's the Qualcomm hlte but want to make sure.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alexp1289:
The latest hltevzw TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-0-hltevzw-4.4.img). I used Flashify: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify

You don't need odin or anything. It's an app that does it for you. You just need to be rooted and unlocked once the unlock is officially released.

I have a dev ed Note Edge BUT I bought it used and the previous owner blew retail firmware into it, so aboot is destroyed. Strange thing, though, I'm able to get perm root with the latest kingroot on 5.1.1.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] npjohnson:
If you have a backup of that old aboot, then yes. Feel free to jump in on the thread I added in the Note Edge XDA forum.

Bootloader Unlock, so yeah, permanent root, though, I don't know if write protection will still be active, but we can hope.

It would... if you knew whose aboot that was, and they were around to dump their CID. Track them down, then we'll talk.

[MENTION=366084]morgej[/MENTION], please see original post.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] elliwigy:
Just out of curiosity, correct me if this is lame thinking or not worth trying but would it be possible to change the cid to turn the device into lets say another variant in order to utilize something like CROM.apk or to odin another variants tar files to oem unlock a device?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] npjohnson:
You could, but the device 99% wouldn't boot.

Plus, you do realize developer editions are unlocked? Why would you want to flash to another variant to oem unlock? Literally the same thing.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] npjohnson:
Please Hangouts message me if you have adb set up, and can use it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Zues532:
Alright guys, a new exploit is great, but let's not get our hopes up just yet. How many times have we had our collective hearts broken over situations almost exactly like this one?

I really really hope this turns into something useful, but for now, I'm assuming it's just a flash in the pan.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] howellcp:
1. I believe this will work. I tired to help but suck at adb now apparently.

2. No need to post if you don't believe. Just ignore
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] npjohnson:
Well. Why don't you read the paper?

All devices that:

1. Use a Samsung eMMC (allows CID write)

&

2. A Developer Edition (allows you to supply a developer CID, and use their aboot)

Are vulnerable.

Question it if you will, but I am packaging things up as I write.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Rom-Addict:
have adb setup but it's been awhile
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] PaulPizz:
I've successfully change my cid to a developer cid. It doesn't unlock it unfortunately. We need a developer edition aboot.mbn flashed to the matching cid. People on here keep implieing that I'm wrong but it seems to me that's the issue. What bootloader is the device on?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] chriskader:
I am currently on 5.0.1 and B0G5

Based on what I read, the version does not matter as long as the bootloader matches the CID it was changed to. If someone wants to send their aboot and CID I am willing to try for science!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] sixtythreechevy:
From [MENTION=5848265]npjohnson[/MENTION]:

"New exploits allow for CID change, which allows is to flash Developer Edition a boots if we use a corresponding CID."

So flashing the aboot is part of it it appears.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] chriskader:
That would be correct, however other dev's have noted that the bootloader does not need to match.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] XxD34THxX:
The real trick is(if I missed anyone saying this) is that the CID and aboot has to be FROM THE SAME DEV DEVICE.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] PaulPizz:
I've got cid's and aboot.mbn files for boaf and ni1. I've attempted to use them on a device with bof1 which is closer to boaf and it didn't work. The cid changed with no problems. But no unlock. There has to be something in the aboot that has to match that developer device cid in order to unlock it. You can't revert back to BOAF for instance with Odin anyway. I have some ideas in mind I'm gonna try to get the firmware back if it's even possible. So if anyone has any input I'd like to hear it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] chriskader:
I went a bit further back. He does comment that setting a random CID will brick, though mine seems fine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] PaulPizz:
Says all that we need to know.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] alexp1289:
Correction, the bootloader does need to match but it only needs to match the developer edition CID. It doesn't need to match the current Android OS version if it matches the CID of the device. Basically if they're both a match then everything goes smoothly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JeremySS:

So you got your phone to MODE: DEVELOPER.

What does that mean, exactly? Does it mean that, say we KingRoot, then SuperSU Me, it actually STICKS, thus we can install root apps and they survive reboots and time? Does it mean we can flash ROMs?

I'm mildly excited about the video, I probably would be much more excited if I understood what it all means. I understand other details need to be worked out, which is fine.
