Is is possible at all? I want to get cynogenmod from here
Not yet... If we ever bypass the boot loader. Or are able to write to the boot loader it'd be out tomorrow.
But for now we can only flash signed files.

So If I cant stand touch wiz and I'm still with-in the 14 day period should I take back my phone for a ???(advice on a phone) or do you think this might happen with-in some time period? Sorry I haven't had an android since the hero lmfao
Go into development and look at safe strap specifically though the xnote ROM
I am betting sooner or later someone will find a way to create a second boot loader... But yeah no promises.

There's no say on how soon we will get things like CyanogenMod yet. It was hard to pick out when things like SafeStrap would come out to flash somewhat custom ROMs. You can get an unlocked Note 3 and them activate it with AT&T. That will support Cyanogen before the AT&T Note 3 will I believe.
Return your at&t note 3 and get the t mobile one. Unlocked boot loader. You can flash anything you want on that one and it works on at&t after you root it and use regionlock away by chainfire

Can someone tell me what we will actually be able to download if bootloader remains looked? Can we flash certain types of Rom or mods? Or can we do nothing?

Should work the same as the S4 MF update that locked down the bootloader. You should be able to root but as for custom roms and CWM/TWRP we're out of luck.
Coming from a S4 running CM10.2 I'm not going to like using the standard rom but will get used to it I guess.
So even with the bootlegged locked we should be able to tour so we can use TB to backup and restore?

I have a locked MF3 firmware S4 and I'm running 3 different ROMs that are hot swappable thanks to Safestrap developed my Hashcode so even with a locked bootloader you can do something. Only thing is for now we are limited to internal storage for the ROM slots can't create them on external SD card but Hashcode has been working on that. Also we can only flash TW ROMs since we can't flash a custom kernel but that is also being worked on, I believe they want to be able flash a kernel with kexec. I have an AT&T S4 and currently swapping between an international Foxhound ROM, Google Play ROM, and well the stock ROM.

At this point I'd be happy with just root so I can use Titanium Backup.
Would be nice if we could get Loki.

Even tho I don't have any phone that has a bootloader. (i don't live in the USA Neither)
But if your Bootloader is locked you cannot Flash CWM or TWRP or flash custom roms (Because they need CWM or TWRP).
Sorry if I'm wrong. I don't have any phone with locked bootloader. Hope this helps.

Ditto... which is why I am returning my AT&T Note 3 less than 24 hrs after I purchased it.
My fault for not researching the bootlocker issue, but no way am I going to give up Titanium Backup. It has saved my tail more than once.
I'm also coming from an att S4. There has not been a bootloader unlock exploit but they do have some work around exploits like loki & safestrape. Loki is out bc they've already patched that so at this point I just hope we get root bc without that you don't have a fighting chance at custom roms

All I want to do is remove the AT&T bloat as well as the Samsung bloat. When I took my stock Note 2 and installed Cleanrom on it it felt like the phone got a cpu boost. Everything was smoother and faster.
With root, can we uninstall crap that is blocked from being removed while stock? I can live with a locked bootloader if I can just get as close to a stripped rom as possible. I'm pretty new to this stuff so forgive the newbie question.
Hello everyone, I just wanted to know is there any development currently done for the Samsung Galaxy Slll mini SM-G730A.

I really feel disappointed to see that there is only one root method for this device and there is no CWM recovery or TWRP, This device don't even have Dowload Mode, How I'm going to flash a custom rom??? i have several devices all of them rooted running custom roms, and this is the newest and the worst since i can't make any modifications :what::banghead:

If you want it so bad then why don't you try to make it happen?
Since there is root, it shouldn't be impossible to start by dumping partitions and share them to make it available for whoever want's to take a look at it.

I totally forgot about that,once I get my new laptop i will start right away to post the partitions dump files, thanks for the heads up.

i posted the partitions in my root thread.. and there is download mode get quick boot pro and you can get to it..
also i was going to work on a recovery but the website that builds them has been down. and I dont really want to configure a whole fedora box and start from there.
this is really strange! i try the 3 button combo when I get this phone and didn't work but I try again today and yes it has the (download mode) and the (3e recovery) :what:

I have a G730A and I want CyanogenMod 10.2. I am willing to help develop and test. I have very basic programming skills, and some Linux skills (currently do not have Linux installed though). If I am told what to do I can research how to do it and get it done. I just need instructions.
And if having linux is going to make it way easier, I can install it. I prefer Ubuntu but I can work with Fedora.
What custom recovery I should use on AT&T Galaxy Note 3 - 4.4.2 - N900A?
Safe strap in the development section is the only thing you can use
So.. do you think we will ever find a way to unlock to bootloader

I read a few months back that an exploit was found that will unlock the bootloader permanently. It is supposed to be released in august some time. If I find the like I will point you to it.

Yeah I heard about that, lets just hope its true and be able to get Custom Recoveries and be able to install PAC-MAN, CM ROMS, ect.
Since our bootlader is locked. Can we get safestrap recovery to work on our device? Or any dev willing to port/build if we get a working recovery.

Installed Safestrap Recovery. But when it opens after rebooting automatically boots into the system. So it's possible just needs to be tweaked to fully work on the G Flex.

A safe strap recovery on KitKat would be awesome. I used to love safe strap on my RAZR cuz you could have multiple ROMs loaded and just boot between them. Kinda like multi ROM on my nexus 7

Had it on my RazrMaxx. Got it on this phone. Just not sure how to safe system on.

Hard to believe no one doesn't have much interest in this. The G2 and G Pro have Flex roms, unlocked bootloaders, etc. Maybe we should start a bounty thread to get attention. I'd gladly donate 50$ to get unlocked and twrp and atleast a Paranoid 4.6 on this phone. :beer:
Understanding it's not so easy to do all of those things, and not trying to fling money around. But if enough people donate it may make it worth someone's time and hard work.

That's the one i used. Had the Verizon version first,but figured that would cause more problems with it being for a cdma device. So installed that one, reboots into SS but doesn't stay automatically boots into system.

So, after reading the forums and internet. We can conclude that att can't flash custom roms/kernel/recovery due to having locked boot loader. Now how does the boot loader become unlocked ? Does someone have to code it ? Or do we have to wait for att to release it?
Sorry if this sounds dumb but just got bored and this subject was stuck on my head

As I recall, the AT&T Galaxy Note 3 was also bootloader locked, but geniuses of the internet created safestrap that ran similar to twrp for flashing/recoveries. I wish something like this would continue in the GS6.
Bootloader doesn't matter for us when it comes to flashing roms compatible with our stock kernels. Flashfire! I'm on my second ROM for test and review on the AT&T S6

Flashfire does wonders. It's like a recovery. But your phone is actually on. ?
