Both OF1 and PL1 are lollipop ROMs. PL1 bootloader can't be unlocked (as far as I know). I run the OF1 bootloader and the PL1 modem. I pulled only the modem. bin file from the PL1 ROM and installed it with Odin. So I have a unlocked, rooted, N900V running the latest modem and a Oreo ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jerryspring:
Can you help route mine?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jerryspring:
do you have to relock the bootloader in order to flash firmware? I keep trying to flash stock firmware and it won't stick
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ryanbg:
Yeah, if your device is in developer mode, the bootloader will set eMMC write protection on the bootloader partition. The only way to flash it is through Odin or re-lock the bootloader. It complicates things a bit if you are trying to upgrade.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jerryspring:
I don't know how to lock the bootloader on this phone. With fast boot it could be fastboot OEM lock but this is different. Any suggestions?

I did flash home tar in Odin. Says passed, but nothing changes.

Verizon Note 3 unlock not working

I have been reading this thread for several hours now. I have downloaded the Samsung Unlock N3 apk and installed it.

It says Install SAMBOOTLOADER UNLOCKER when I run it. I tap on the greyed out box but nothing happens.

My ICCIS is Unknown? I do not have a SIM installed. I am trying to unlock to use phone on a different carrier.

If you make a backup of your phone in twrp. When your phone loses signal just restore EFS from your backup. I wish there was a fix to stop it but I can't find anyone who solved the issue. But restoring the EFS from twrp backup works for me

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] kgiesselman:
Not sure what information this provides for my problem. My Note 3 is bricked, stuck in a boot loop. Can someone walk me through getting it un-bricked? I did not load TWRP before I attempted to unlock. My bad but now I am stuck. I can get to the boot loader but the PC no longer "sees" the phone so I can use Odin to reload anything. Suggestions please!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] neilc300:
i did this too

its gone at least mine is i have tried everything known to make my computer play nice with the phone,i even have another n900v that is fine and i was able to get a little progress by switching the phones back and forth on the sync cable, the original sync cable nothing helped when connected by micro usb cable. i did manage to get odin to show it blue lighted and when i flashed anything it would start the update and stall about midway thru, this was the same for any package format .tar, md5's all were a no go. i do believe short of jtag or similar methods will be the only way to breathe life back to it. very tempermental root on the verizon note 3 is fairly unstable and unreliable in my opinion

---------- Post added at 04:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 AM ----------

more than likely you have an adb connection issue probably should check on that assuming you gained temp. root before running the unlock commands, check to see if you have drivers right

BusyBox installed... Keeps "installing" and doesn't. Sometimes it shows in app drawer and others it don't. I got zygote to be in su, but app doesn't work. Any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jerryspring:
Update. Got it to work by getting rid of my installed terminal emulator. I installed Rshr and then ran the apk twice. . Having terminal emulator already installed just caused issues.

Make sure you have rshr, and busybox on your device. If you notice "custom icon" on reboot gone, it means it worked. After hitting yes in script, your phone will shut down. Reboot... Run apk again.... On next reboot your custom icon should appear and your boot loader will be unlocked!

If it was possible to use DirtySanta to exploit the bootloaders of N900A and N900V, it would have been posted here on XDA a long time ago and I wouldn't need to ask this question. I think it's time for me to leave AT&T and go International.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Bobthahog:
What do you mean? I just tried the download file on the first page and it worked. EDIT My bad says no mirrors found. I just use this file about six months ago to but I don't think I have it on my note 3 anymore. Let me check real quick I might be able to upload it for you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Bobthahog:
Here you go. I did still have it on my note 3. It took me two times to get it to work. I had to answer yes and do all that crap and then redo it and then my bootloader was unlocked.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Bobthahog:
I posted it down below.

(EDIT)I guess it's right above this post.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] eKoKnight:
Thank you so much. :) SO once this is put into place i'll be able to flash a different rom on the phone right? or is there anything else I need to do before doing that. Last thing I want to do is brick the old phone..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Bobthahog:
Well you install it and then follow the procedure and then I had to do it a second time for it to work. Just read a few pages of the thread and it'll explain. Most people have to do it twice. First time it quit after I answered yes but the second time I did it it went through fine in bootloader was unlocked and I flashed a ROM and Magisk. Oh and TWRP. You can use Odin to flash TWRP but I just use flashify. It's weird talking about this stuff because I haven't even been able to root my last six phones. and you don't just put it in place you have to extract the APK file and install it on your phone. then follow the directions because I believe you have to be connected to a computer. Just read the thread a little.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] eKoKnight:
I thought I installted t he right TWRP and now my phone won't boot since the recovery img isnt offical I swear I had my phone unlock but now im trying to find online the Origional TWRP to put back on the phone with no luck. :( ordin keeps giving me a fail on flashing.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Bobthahog:
What is your model number for your N3? Mine was Verizon version. Go to TWRP website and download correct version. The have img. and img.tar. I used flashify after I installed Magisk after unlocking bootloader. Did you read through the thread some 1st? Because it's like page 4 or something where they start discussing the bootloader unlocking APK. You also got to be on the correct firmware for this to work. OF1. Here's a picture.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Bobthahog:
Yep, page 4 is when they start talking to the samsuungunlockerN3.apk.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] eKoKnight:
Thanks. I manage to get the phone completely restore found a verizon program that fix the phone up. Still trying to figure out if I can root this phone or not... -.-
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Bobthahog:
Well it definitely can be rooted because I sent you a screenshot showing I'm running Resurrection remix. Make sure you have BusyBox installed and install the unlocker APK and then when it comes to the end you hit yes in the phone is supposed to shut off and then when it turns back on it should say custom but if it doesn't try it again because it took me two times to get mine to unlock. Then I installed magisk and then I installed flashify how to install TWRP image.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] eKoKnight:
Oddly when I put busybox its not asking for permission to access root stuff so that don't work. As for the very first posting of this whole rooting thing. Try that and when I type in SU saying cant be found then when I type the rest of the stuff just say operation not allowed. -.- Im feeling a bit hopeless on trying to root this phone now. Feels like ever since I did the manufactor to get the phone up and running again that its not the same anymore :S
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] eKoKnight:
Here my screenshots of the phone I have. Unable to root the phone. And by doing all things on here no luck even after installing the few apx files. :S
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Bobthahog:
I think you're on wrong firmware. I think you need to be on OFI if I'm correct. That's where I found that firmware file was in that forum.

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

Also you might wanna try BusyBox from JRummy apps. I'm telling you though I got it unlocked after 2 tries. It really wasn't hard. Find the OF1 firmware and use ODIN to flash it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] eKoKnight:
Just tried both and busybox still saying no SU access. :S Even have the OF1 firmware flashed onto the phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Bobthahog:
I don't understand what's going on. I followed what the thread said and on the second time my bootloader was unlocked then I installed magisk.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] eKoKnight:
I don't understand either this SU thing shows up even on the first page saying not found. So something gin the phone has no SU Access and how to get that in the phone to do everything else you state is unclear to me at this point. NO SU access. No rooting.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Bobthahog:
Well maybe you could ask a few other people how to get root access first. It's been about a year since I did this. All I have is my note 3 running on Wi-Fi. I don't use it or anything. I have an S5 and a note 3 both just my mess around phones since you can't seem to root newer phones anymore. So I can't exactly tell you how I got super user rights but the proof was in my screenshots. My bootloader is unlocked and I am running Resurrection remix with magisk installed. So maybe ask a few other people in this thread on how to get root access to run the SamsungunlockerN3.apk.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] eKoKnight:
Thanks for responding. I just wanted to see if I could get android 10 on it for the fun of it. My main phone is a iphone. So its not like I need the note 3. Just thought it would be fun to tinker with to see what Android version I could put on it. Once again I do appreciate the time you took to reply to my responses on trying to help. Greatly appreciate that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Bobthahog:
No problem. That's the only reason I keep my Verizon note 3 in my Sprint S5 is mess around with by rooting and flashing ROMs since almost all new phones can't be rooted. I just recently had help and getting my OnePlus 7 Pro bootloader unlocked so I have a newer phone to mess around with now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] gottahavit:
So I have a rooted note 3 with unlocked BL and TWRP, what I'm trying to do is get to a Stock based 4.3 ROM, but all the ones I see here are for safestrap and I can't get them to work in TWRP nor find one good for TWRP.

Is what I'm trying even possible? Do I just need to break out the root kitchen and make one from stock?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] kennypasatrain:
Does this work on a rooted device with safestrap? (I used safestrap back when there was no unlock method). I have a custom 4.4.2 rom flashed to the stock rom slot with safestrap.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Dwight4uk:
I got question I'm really new and trying to understand I got samsung A21 and when I logged in to forum it said I had verizon note 3 does the mean that if I decide to root this phone I use the note 3 or do I still need to look for A21 root for this phone..

follow the OP's 1st post works.

someone mentioned that we can run a cm13 and i even read something about the call audio only not working when using a verizon sim card.

i use a pageplus cellular sim card which does use the verizon towers.

can someone point me to that rom i cant remember where i read it. had so many tabs open

should i delete my flashfire image backups i made pre cid dev edition change and make a new twrp backup with everything that it can back up?

at this point to my N3

im basically stock rooter with super su and now the dev bl and twrp install.

right now i should make my master backup probably correct?

i can delete all other image files i previously created?

someone should create an OF1 firmware package for just in case situations?

are we allowed to odin official 5.0 OF1 if we have an emergency?

what can we and cant we do?
