As the guy above said, type this command in any terminal app (you can find 'em on the play store):

cat /sys/class/block/mmcblk0/device/cid

First 2 numbers :)

All 15's are unlocked FYI

Please stop posting non R&D posts in this thread!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] limeaide:
I hope you quoted the wrong person. Because it looks like you are telling somebody to stop posting non r&d, when in fact the person is being logical and responsible.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] btonetbone:
GeTex knows what she is doing and has asked multiple times for posts to be R&D related only. Logical and responsible doesn't necessarily equal R&D. It has been half a week since there has been a relevant post in this thread (your post and my post included). If you don't have access to vendor codes or aren't able to help in the relevant programming necessary to unlock, chances are you shouldn't be posting here. I am tempted to create a non-R&D thread in the General section for those of us who can't help but just generally want to express hope and joy and other thoughts for GeTex and the rest volunteering their time to make our phones better.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ryanbg:
I've done an awful lot of research on the Toshiba eMMC chip. At this point, I'm at a standstill. I've reversed the mechanisms to update the firmware, receive a smart report, and retrieve firmware information. That's as far as I'll get since vendor commands are extremely difficult to fuzz.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
And I'm working on the vendor commands. Mostly Inside information.

Please confirm the chip and controller and I'll get back to you promptly
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sslove32:
I don't know if you have an 11, I do and can send you anything you need. Just tell me where to locate the info.

I'll try to help.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
I own an 11 and a 15 :)

Our problem comes down to dumping the firmware, I might be able to force such a thing via JTAG with my riffbox but i need a 11 i can mutilate cuz likely it will die in the process
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] gerryl432:
Would you need a working sçreen? Maybe a parts repair one on eBay for around $50 with a cracked screen. But either way can't tell if it's 11 or 15 from description. Id pitch in a little $ if this will help
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] vegoja:
I'm not sure where I'd post my 15 but the screen has a small crack in it but its barely noticeable and doesn't effect its function. If any one is interested in it I'm willing to let it go. Bootloader is unlocked TWRP and running resurrection remix ROM 6.0
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] gerryl432:
I could sell it for you on eBay. Then buy a parts repair one with 11 eMMC for donation. I'm a power seller(eBaycomusrgerryjl) But that still leaves the question if the one I am buying has the 11 chip. Any ID numbers under the battery that I would be able to tell the difference?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
theres no way to tell from the lable quite yet, most newer devices are emmc 11 though. I'd need to go pull the riffbox out and hope i remember how to use it
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] gerryl432:
What about just the logic board to dump firmware? Cheaper than buying the whole thing. Or do you need the entire phone assembled.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
Just a logic board of a 11 should work, but we have alot of work to do on that front :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] gerryl432:
if thats what it takes to get started ill start looking for one. just not sure where to look (11 chip) on the pics of the board

edit: sent a message to someone who sells verizon s5 boards in bulk. Asked him if he could verify he has one with a toshiba eMMC chip.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] perfectswanson:
Nevermind
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] krazy_smokezalot:
i have one
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Have one what? A Developer Edition with the 11 eMMC Toshiba chip?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] krazy_smokezalot:
No sorry. Wrong thread so guys. I only have the board which I'm sure the devs have here. Good luck devs hope u guys get this
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Is your board of that of the 11 eMMC Developer Edition?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] gerryl432:
Does the board have to be 11 developer edition?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Yes
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pyrite123:
It's just the board? If there's anyway you could confirm what chip the board has, these guys would greatly appreciate it I'm sure!

Does it need to be the developer edition seems to be some back n forth on that!? I have non dev edition.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Shadowjump:
I've been thinking about it for the past 2-3 days. Went to check out the phone at a store and I think it's pretty good.

Of course I ll sell my Note 4 and end up paying around 350$, but is it worth it?

The size seems perfect, the camera menu is good, speed as expected is also good.

Yes, I use the S Pen occasionally, but it's not that I can't live without it.

Also, going from 5.7 to 5.1 might seem a bit strange, but the ease of use might make up for that.

Battery wise, they are almost the same, but I guess the S7 will be less power hungry so it'll have bettery battery life.

I have the Note 4 since its launch and I am ok with it, although it's starting to lose its snappiness. Perhaps some degradation of the internal storage.

I also checked the S7 Edge, but its a no go, I dont like it that the edges of the screen are distorted.

:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sectoras:
If i was in your position, i wouldn't consider about it, note 4 is still an awesome phone and will be for a quite long time.

If you get used to a phablet size, i think you gonna regret for switching to a normal size. SPen is a great feature for me, since i have to keep notes very often.

I think it should be a better move to keep the note 4 and your money, and buy the note 6 someday. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] travis82:
+1 I played wth the s7's too and have been tempted to snag a couple. But I prefer note sized phones for reading. Wait for the Note 6 to see what new hardware it brings to the table before you throw money away.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mjrshark:
Note 6 maybe ........ no S for me
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Shadowjump:
Hmmm... You convinced me guys. Thats what I'll do. If the Note 6 also sucks, I ll get the S7 at that time, which will also be a lot cheaper.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] marc_ecko28:
If you have money why not?

But for me my note 4 is still capable of anything that S7 can do. No reason at all for me.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] thedarkmunk:
I've considered both the S7 Edge and the standard S7. In my opinion and limited experience with both S7 variants, I'd prefer the physical appearance of the S7 with the bigger (but not edge) screen of the S7 Edge as well as the battery of the S7 Edge.

However, as I've basically described the Note 6 I'll just wait for that.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] JMccovery:
I'd rather go Note 4 > Note 6, but it is heavily dependent on whether the bootloader is locked or not.

I mean, if I wanted to purchase a device that I'm unable to modify, why even go the Android route?

Only real way I can accept a locked-down Samsung device, is if it was significantly cheaper than the equivalent iDevice.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BC01:
I'm in the nearly same situation.

The terrible Updatesituation of Note 4 lead me back to the s variants. Will a possible Note 6 more prefered as Note 4by Samsung itself.

Today i would take the S7 Edge because of screensize. I will miss Spen for the first time but the S Variants look better supported atm as Note Series.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] adry1988:
I'm keeping my note 4 until something that really makes a jump in quality.

Note 4 to s7 wouldn't be worth the change for me plus I would hate going smaller now.

I think 4k amoled screens will be on Samsung agenda soon plus I think there will be some major improvements on the processors in terms of performance and battery life.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] frankbel:
Waiting for the next note or nexus 6.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] banny7000:
Specs don't mean as much as they did 5yrs ago. I'm in no hurry to upgrade I used to upgrade yearly but to be honest there isn't anything out there that is that much better. How fast does a phone need to be?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jetbruceli:
Got the s7 and its perfect in many ways! Go for it!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] whshkhalid:
if you are not going for the edge screen and its beautiful design, then just wait for the note 6, or reconsider upgrading to the s7 edge. i just had my new s7 edge today and kept my note 4 also, i did the upgrade for the dualsim and the beatiful designe and edges
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mangui:
I think you should wait and get the Note 6 if you want to upgrade. For the money, in my case dollar for dollar the Note series is a better value with the extras. Plus, as is been rumored it may be announced/released in the Jun/Jul time period, not too far from now. In addition, some new features may be added to the N series that the S may get on following upgrade. That's my two cents.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Jishy420:
I think I'm going from a note 4 snapdragon to a lg g5 when its released in aus
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SquirtingCherry:
Just read that the 12MP camera is a 4:3 sensor, So for 16:9 pictures you get stuck with 9.1MP instead of the full 16MP of the note 4.

This is a mayor drawback for me.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kolembo:
Noooo!

Can't do the switch, it will kill you. Annnnd, square photos.

Don't do it. Wait for the Note 6.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jj03:
no s7 for me..it's nice, but thats about it. gonna wait for the note 6
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
Unless my N910C is starting to have problems then No! I am perfectly haply with my N910C. I love having a removable battery!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] quadlt:
Wow, I expected way less replies saying OP shouldn't switch to S7. I am upgrading next week to the S7 Edge though and while I will surely miss the bigger and still so beautiful display, I think it's time to move on in order to keep up with latest Android (fu*king tired of Samsung's 'FAST' updates) and the reports of battery life on forums are amazing - double that of what I'm getting on my Note 4. I will check back on this thread after I start playing around with my new S7 Edge.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MisterKanister:
Noooooo! Please please hopefully not :crying:

These morons should all go back to FHD, not even QHD is of any use compared to the battery it consumes :eek:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] aselmani:
Hell yeah. No brainer for me
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nine5raptor:
I can't go back to fhd. The qhd is just so gorgeous!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] claudioita:
I think is only some of the app that you have installed.

---------- Post added at 10:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 AM ----------

I would go only for the new foldable device. Having a 7 inch in a 5 inch pocket size is fantastic
[Galaxy Note 4 General] toofimoofi:
I went from Note 4 to S7 edge. I dont regret all. Its a total improvement. Specially speed and camera.

I only miss the Infrared. Changable battery would have been a good thing also.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] marc_ecko28:
No... basically all of the useful/ daily apps you can install on S7 will work perfectly on note 4. Plus screen size, spen, ir blaster, replaceable battery... whats else?

Id rather wait for a couple of months for the price to drop down or I will wait for Note 6 which will be I think a lot better.
