yes I would delete all backup imgs made with Flashfire and backup through twrp ..This is beautiful...Oh and might as well put Jasmine on first before backup .

Its the best stock rom with xposed infused and battery excellent. I would wait for Roms to be ported to 900v. I would keep the 0F1 firmware ,Yemen root and Ryan G's magic bootloader unlock in a friggin vault for future emergency procedures..Otherwise we should sit back and enjoy the carefree recovery we have been blessed with..

About recovery surviving an Odin firmware update is a great question and not sure..I dont think it would survive and all the steps would have to be implemented again.. As long as you dont reset your phone in stock recovery or stupid crap many of us do when problems arise we should be fine.. Roms are definitely coming. Jasmine is fine as you can use Xposed framework to tweak and modify a bit safely..

hope you still have your original CID.

if you have your original CID you can run a couple commands to flash original back

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] davekaz:
What to you mean back to retail?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jrkruse:
Your CID remains what it was changed to until you change it back manually. I doubt your cid is the reason your sim is not working.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] JEFFSGTP:
Ok, so question, I'm on 4.4.2 with nc2 bootloader, tried the script, stops at the 10 visit Google thing. Tried using pc but keep getting device not found...get that using android terminal emulator apk as well. Can I unlock the bootloader with my current 4.4.2/nc2 or do I have to update to lolipop/of1 for it to work?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] godsponge:
I've been using JasmineROM with Safestrap up until now, I got the unlocker to work and it says developer edition in download mode. I also have 4.4 TWRP installed.

My question is: Does this mean I can install the developer edition of Jasmine and change out my kernel and all that if I need to or should I reinstall safestrap and keep using that with the retail edition ROM?

There is a step involving ODIN for the developer ed of Jasmine and I just don't want to end up bricking my phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] thunderblaster88:
I started on 5.0 did the root, bootloader unlock and have been on jasmine, I just flashed the kernel 2 minutes ago. Everything seems to be fine.

---------- Post added at 01:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 PM ----------

Also the only difference between the de jasmine and retail was flashing the partial firmware, now it does not matter since we have unlock.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
Ok...looked at the source code samsung_unlock.c and found it's failing at the nearly_useless_compat_check() where it's looking for "amsung" in /proc/cmdline even though the word samsung does exist in a cat of /proc/cmdline

But...even if it got past that....it would fail at the next step in the call to get_cid () since on my 4.4.2 Android...cid is not in any of the places the code is looking.

So without me recompiling beaups code, this executable 'unlock' won't work on a 4.4.2 (NC4) system.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] JEFFSGTP:
Guess that answers my question of it working with nc2 either

Everyone that's still on 4.2 and 4.4..What are you waiting for and what the hell is Safestrap good for when you got a recovery. .Step up to 5 root unlock and flash that recovery...are you kidding? Where is your damn excitement. .we have unlocked phones now..I see people trying to figure out how to stay on 4.2 and unlock..some guy is developer edition 4.4..really ?The only damn reason your on 4.2 was no root beyond that. The dam has broke and we have root and unlocked in a months time ..Bless these smart people that work on all this so we can smile again..cut it out. Work on putting all this **** together and be on the latest..

Do not turn off target!!

And it seems to just stay that way, is that normal and should it be saying that?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BostonDan:
Yes. That is normal. You can pull the battery to reboot IF you are not in the middle of ODINing files.

Cheers,

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alexp1289:
Anytime you flash a firmware package in Odin it will replace everything. Let's say you did flash a firmware package in Odin. Your recovery would be replaced by the stock recovery. Nothing survives a full stock firmware package being flashed in Odin. And this also goes without saying that you shouldn't take any firmware updates from Verizon or Samsung because you risk losing everything that the developers have been able to do for us. You don't even need Odin really. You can do everything with twrp.

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 PM ----------

Do a factory reset in twrp. That should fix your Sim card issue.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] davekaz:
I thought so thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dreyeth:
Yeah I ended up flashifying TWRP and now I'm seeing a valid recovery, I was nervous doing all this

so I was kinda twitchy seeing it, and I had never booted the stock recovery before for anything on this phone.

Bootloader unlock successful. (^_^)

lol the quote of mine above is 2 different threads...so i thouggt :)

i dont have a sim prob that i am aware of yet.

i am using my pageplus cellular on vzw network and all seems working
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] godsponge:
I just wiped everything from TWRP and installed everything per the announcement page just to be safe. Even loaded the radio via ODIN cause I forgot if I had done it or not. Everything is going great. Now if I could just get a working CM or Paranoid.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jrkruse:
Your right it wont work has to be 4.4.4 or higher I think
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] thunderblaster88:
I was wondering this and haven't seen anyone ask or say anything about it but can we flash a 4.2 based ROM? Was just wondering if their would be any issues since we're on the newer 4.4 bootloader even though it is unlocked
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jrkruse:
If I was you I would unlock a 5.0 bootloader or higher I dont know what your latest build is. On the S5 we can run 4.4.2 roms with 5.0 bootloaders.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alexp1289:
Just Odin to 0F1 firmware and you get everything you need. Then unlock again and call it a day. Flash twrp and start flashing roms.

---------- Post added at 01:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 AM ----------

He thinks that the app or the unlock method flashes the 4.4 bootloader which it does not it flashes a hash security file as far as I know. It's also noteworthy that newer roms require newer bootloaders so there's no point in staying on an old bootloader when you can unlock the 0F1 bootloader. There's absolutely no benefit of staying on older firmware or Bootloader for that matter just flash the stock 0F1 firmware and unlock the bootloader and be done lol.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] thunderblaster88:
I'm on 5.0, unlocked. I just want sure if their would be any issues.

---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

I just wanted to know about flashing a rom the was 4.x, if we would have any issues due to us being in the higher bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dreyeth:
What does the step using ODIN to flash OF1 firmware do? and is it needed if you were already running OF1 before you did everything to unlock the bootloader?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mightysween:
Soooo much confusion on this, folks... our bootloader version is 4.4 and isn't going to change. And it has nothing to do with the version of firmware you run.

Even stock 5.x lollipop runs on the kitkat 4.x bootloader. As do CM11/12/13

You can install whatever ROM you want... but good luck finding many that work :)

The question here was about unlocking while on 4.4.2 firmware, and the simple answer has been given... just update to 4.4.4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] davekaz:
No not at all .0F1 is just the latest firmware which is just lollipop. If your already on it that step is not necessary
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jrkruse:
Are you sure? If you have a 5.0 factory tar image ill bet it has a lollipop bootloader. All other samsung phones needed 5.0 bootloaders to run lollipop at least the note 4 the S5 the S4 did
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mightysween:
Talking in regard to the exploit... it is a 4.4 based exploit. And once done, it really doesnt matter much any more. Therefore, the idea of trying to make the exploit run on 4.4.2 is entirely unnecessary.

Obviously AFTER that it becomes more important when matching it to ROMS you are installing. I have been trying to find a combination of BL/modem to make some older KK ROMS work, but so far no luck
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DeliriousSyntax:
Any problems with this method yet? And are there any roms that would work on another N900 model that would work with this? I really looking for a Note 5 Port
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] davekaz:
The exploit meaning the unlock method?

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

Mightysween suggested dirtyunicorns which I'm running and so far so good

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

0F1 is 5 bootloader I've read so I'm a bit confused. If you Odin 0F1 firmware your saying your bootloader is still 4.4. That does not sound right..I've seen your post and they hold a lot of weight to me but this does not..please explain
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DeliriousSyntax:
Is that a touchwiz ROM? I like the s-pen features
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
The problem with that for me is...if I odin OF1...then I have to use the yemen root exploit...and as I've said before....I don't trust it to be as harmless as they make it out to me.

This bootloader unlock I am comfortable with...I can see the full source code so know what it's doing. If needed I can compile a version for 4.4.2 or wait until the author gets around to it....which is better for all.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] davekaz:
No its not

---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------

I agree even though I just couldn't help doing it..why isn't there any explanation on how it was achieved? And then there was an ominous comment saying there are more surprises to come or something like that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] thunderblaster88:
Well if you don't trust it then you're SOL and will have to stay locked.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jrkruse:
I'm not following you the exploit works on lollipop bootloaders as well as 4.4.4. Note 4 people are unlocking 5.1.1 bootloaders
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
Actually not...the source code is available and I know how to modify it. I spent many, many years as a UNIX System Administrator and have written a ton of utilities in C.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mightysween:
I think you are reading to far into it. My point was just that the people on 4.4.2 asking for a "fix$" should just update to 4.4.4 (or higher) and unlock.

The whole conversation seems unnecessary... and now I have made it go on even more :)

---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

No, but if you flash factory 4.4.4 it is NK1. And everything still works. It doesn't matter except in reference to the firmware you are trying to run.

Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned it to begin with! :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alexp1289:
I don't know what to tell you if you're paranoid about the Yemen root. It works for me and that all I know.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] en11gma:
i have a SM-G900R7 on Android 5.0

rooted

supersu

busybox

twrp

i used a similar process as this one on page 1 but the program was called "samsung_cid" and it would retrieve the Current CID if you didnt put any CID number in the command

when i run that command in adb shell su

it says:

root@klteacg:/data/local/tmp # ./samsung_cid

[-] can't get current CID, find it and fix the code

ok i now have pushed the file in post 1 but will not run it because i know it will attempt to change my cid.

the app emmc in play store shows my cid with 15 in beginning so it was like my note 3

is there a way to run "samsung_unlock_n3" without it actually programming the phone?

i just want to make sure it retrieves the cid correctly like EMMC app does.

thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
I didn't say it didn't work, I said I don't know what else it may do. What if it planted some malware key logger or other crap on your PC or phone?

When's the last time you heard of a great technology hack/advance come from Yemen? And why the Note 3....why not a newer phone? The software is free...why not publish the code or at least let us know what the exploit was...so others can use the same exploit on other phones?

Sorry, I'm a born skeptic, until I see source or know what they're doing...no thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mightysween:
No hacker of any worth is going to target a device with a few hundred users. :)

Frankly, I would worry more about the Americans at the NSA because we know they ARE spying on us and logging our keystrokes!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
So I guess any possible Al Queda or ISIS hackers don't count in your assessment cuz the wouldn't be "hacker of any worth" and infecting your PC (required for Yemen root) won't give them enough targets? Do you live in the REAL world or some ivory tower? I am not saying there IS anything wrong with their program, I am saying I DO NOT trust them.

Don't forget this is a group that suddenly appeared new here out of nowhere. They have an exploit that they won't discuss and will not open source their code...but have no financial interest since the program to root is free. And last I saw...they pretty much ignore this place now.

How many people would it take to listen in on 250 million cell phones 24/7? How many employees do the feds have in total....let alone working for the NSA?

I'm cautious...you seem to be paranoid.

No flame intended.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mightysween:
Yep, I am more wary of my government than ISIS when it comes to my personal security and privacy. Crazy, huh?!

Anyhow, looks like you are out of luck for root.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
Nope...been rooted for years on my note 3, don't care about lollipop but thought it'd be nice to have TWRP for real rather than SafeStrap. So that's why I was hoping unlock would work on 4.4.2. I'll modify and recompile the unlocker so it works on 4.4.2 when I get tired of Ryan working on it. I'm in no hurry.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mightysween:
Ahhhh...now I understand why there is the push for 4.4.2.

Thanks.

Twrp

Does this mean twrp is removed but you still have the unlocked bootloader? What way is the most reliable the .apk or adb?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] MayoRamirez:
I'm running Music of life v9 is 5.1.1 N5 port, running very well, I unlock my OF1 bootloader being on Jasmine 6.1; then install TWRP ; I flash MoL v9 no reboot; then flash idleKernel-hlte-vzw-6.6.5-note5port, for last flash super Su 2.46, all is running really fine [emoji2]
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alexp1289:
Even if it did plant a key logger just wipe everything in twrp and install a fresh rom you only need root to unlock bootloader then wipe with twrp and you can flash root when you please. I don't understand what the big deal is.

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 PM ----------

Edgy much? I'm sure there's nothing you have that anyone else wants to make your computer or phone worth hacking. Have fun on 4.4.2 you realize you're the only person that's paranoid right?

---------- Post added at 11:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ----------

It means you're back to square one and you would need to re-root and re-unlock the bootloader. Then install twrp again, it's all very easy just time consuming. It's the best way to ensure everything is up to date. Like the modem and you're on the latest bootloader (once unlocked). That way when you flash a new rom like cm13 when it's available. That way you know if there are issues it's not because of your device.

Hi, this is my first post. I followed the LordLugo Youtube video on unlocking the bootloader and installing CM13 and my SIM card stopped working as well. I'm using Straight Talk on the Verizon network. I had to call Straight Talk technical help and after 45 minutes or so the helpful fellow got my phone's SIM card working again. It sounded like my phone was put on some "Prohibited" list or something. I didn't get a detailed explanation (nor did I ask), but it sounded like Verizon had blocked my SIM card. The gentleman from Straight Talk needed to contact Verizon to get my SIM card unblocked. I had to give him my physical address (and last four IMEI numbers and a few other details) so that he could locate my phone I don't know if that helps anyone. I went back to using Jasmine ROM and am fearful to try unlocking the boot loader again.
