very sad to see so many people talking s**t about the note 4.
It might not be a huge difference from note 3 but is definitely a big upgrade from my note 2.
I think everyone expect to have extreme changes in the devices every year and that is not possible anymore.
I think now the upgrade should be every 2 years.

Someone told me that if you get the TMO version it won't have a locked bootloader, and can be usedon ATT. I'm not sure if this is true, but considering going that route.

Verizon :/ I really am getting tired of it from them tbh. I buy the phone, why should they lock the bootloader. (Yes, I know there are reasons, but still) they are not leasing the phone to me, You buy the device and use it on their network.I am paying for a service. That's just how I look at it.

I sure understand that thought. But I also understand the carriers not wanting to warranty phones that we hose trying to mess with them.
It's probably too much effort to position themselves to offer an unlock code for the bootloader, which would cost 'loss of warranty'. If they don't have to warranty them, then why should they care?

probably because so many people lie when they call for warranty service, saying they dont know why their phone suddenly "stopped" working..
Now, what could be done, is to sell an unlocked phone/boot loader, NO WARRANTY AT ALL, and see how many folks buy that model...
Not many I bet..

The vulnerability of towelroot was patched on all kernels deployed after 6th June.

Anyone aware of any work by the devs for unlocking the bootloader on the Note 3, or is this something that won't be available at all for this device?
If yes, then I'll wait for it. If it's not coming anytime soon and I'll just use Safestrap.

It has been talked about a lot. Safestrap is the only available method to do anything for our phone as of this time. I don't see a bootloader unlock coming anytime soon. They still haven't cracked it for the S4 to my knowledge.

I searched "unlocking the bootloader on the Note 3" on Google and clicked the first link. Took under a minute. You could even simply look around this forum and find your answers in many different threads as this question is asked every single day and usually gets worse replies than the one's you've received so far. Developers continually state the request of users to not nag about release dates, progress, etc... Maybe even throw a little common sense in and think to yourself
"Hmm. If I was a developer and I was getting asked the same questions 100+ times a day - cluttering my thread - while I'm putting my hard work into developing FOR FREE on my own personal downtime for the community, wouldn't I get irritated after the millionth time too?"
Or something along those lines. Hundreds will agree, hundreds will disagree, even more won't care.
Conclusion: Search, Research, Search again.
Developers are ALWAYS working their way around these locked down devices and they typically wish to be granted with the patience of others. The more they have to answers those types of questions the longer it'll take for them to develop. You'll know when there's been a breakthrough and you'll know when there's been a release. We're lucky to even have SafeStrap at this point and that's currently all we have.

Did not expect to see what I saw coming into xda today. does anyone have a copy of 5.6 they can share out?
don't count on it... when there is drama between users and mods the ban hammers come out quick and fast. links get popped quick.
It is really too bad, but this seems to be entirely self-inflicted and we are left high and dry until another Dev steps up.
Was looking for this thread, I take it KnoxRaid is pretty much done and over with now?
I mirrored v5.6 about a week ago here - Took link down, need clarification on rules of sharing the files on forum, PM for link
Im not sure if I would advise using it at this point though

I'm running 5.5 and it is fine with 1 or 2 minor issues and 5.6 was a consideration... However, I'm not certain that the dev will be working on this soon, he seems to have been trying to play a donation game.
Likely it was a momentary lapse in judgment, but not something that would be tolerated on XDA and rightly so.
Hopefully another dev can step up and produce as good a product as this, but it seems that KnoxRaid is over. Oh well... I just got a Galaxy Gear and I can play with that for a while.

Yeah, its to bad. Well FireNote is top notch IMO, its been great so far. We will just have to wait to see what takes center stage I suppose.

It's unfortunate because he certainly seemed like a talented and dedicated dev. Brought a lot of goodness to our Note 3. I also started becoming skeptical of his requests for donations and think he just got caught up in how easy it was for him to raise spare cash, sell a phone and get another. Once he got the M8, I think his attentions turned to that phone and he figured he'd ride the Note 3 wave as long as he could. I don't doubt that he probably would have continued dev'ing for our phone had he been sent a free Note 3...but I'm sure in time "something" would have happened to that phone as well. As I said though, very unfortunate for all of us Note 3 owners as he truly did devote a lot of his time to our phones. He's young and has a lot to learn still...hopefully this is a lesson in honesty and humility that he takes to heart.

I can't agree more.
Most of the people are like, Exynos is crap or useless, and when asked a question about why, they don't have any answer except for saying that overheats, seriously? My Exynos note 2 never went over 45°C even after 3 hours of asphalt 8. How is their snapdragon? 0°C much?
There is a special thread dedicated to being disappointed by note 4, Because some people just want to act smart and have more threads to their name, like it gonna give them some of the recognized status without giving anything to the community.
I just want to really give a bad mouth to some of the people making those useless thread, but then, courtesy and kindness to everyone, can't really do much about it.
Some of the people aren't even using a Samsung device and come to the forums to just abuse that device.
Well, to all the haters saying bloated Touchwiz, how is your battery backup? Enjoying 3-4 hours SoT with less than a day's usage?

http://www.how-to-root.club/mp3-0/motorola-droid-turbo-6727.html
I wouldn't touch it man. It's even more sketchy that there is a 5.0 rom underneath it when our device doesn't have one. I think this may be labeled turbo but intended for the international version. I'm no dev, but I would not touch this until someone tears apart the apk and gives the green light that it's not bs.
Yea, thats what I was afraid of. Thanks for responding.
we've talked about this before, its a scam site.

This thread shouldn't be here. It belongs to Q&A.
This is why developers stop or do not work on making LOCKED PHONES UNLOCKED OR ROOTED. PAY THE $20.00 that is cheap for what you are getting also the work and hours one puts into this. WOW this makes me so mad. This is why I walked away from XDA years ago when I made ROMs for eris,razer and other phones. There is users out there that still try to rip off the only ones willing to help you unlock or root your phone. WOW "I saved $20.0 " man oh man.

This is why developers stop or do not work on making LOCKED PHONES UNLOCKED OR ROOTED. PAY THE $20.00 that is cheap for what you are getting also the work and hours one puts into this. WOW this makes me so mad. This is why I walked away from XDA years ago when I made ROMs for eris,razer and other phones. There is users out there that still try to rip off the only ones willing to help you unlock or root your phone. WOW "I saved $20.0 " man oh man.

Did you even bother looking at the website? He was curious about the legitimacy of the website, not whether it was worth $20 to root your device.
You know what makes me mad? When people jump to conclusions. This is why I rarely us XDA nowadays... so much emotion for a such a small thing.
Howdy, folks.
I'm coming from a 3+ year old HTC10 and have an S10 ( G973UZKAXAA factory rooted) on the way. My understanding is that this is the Snapdragon CPU. Can someone point me to the correct thread/guide to root this phone? I'm seeing instructions for Magisk and TWRP, but I'm new to the Samsung world, so I'm a bit confused on where to start.
Thanks in advance!

I think you mean factory unlocked not factory rooted. Also US Snapdragon phones can't be rooted and most likely never will.

I actually did. Apparently you were busy at the time posting snarky comments in other threads and missed it. Thanks for the help.

Yes, sorry - I mis-spoke - I did mean unlocked. In any case, for those of us who want to relieve ourselves of factory bloatware and have an unlocked and rooted phone, which model number would it be? There are variants all over the map.
Or, would this method using Magisk seemingly confirmed here at XDA get me where I want to be in terms of root?
Thanks in advance!

You need the international exynos s10 to get root.

What confuses me is that some indications suggest that rooting the Snapdragon variant will work, though opinions are all over the map, and not all of them are current. Since development is constantly in motion, it's hard to know for sure.
Here's the link to a guide for rooting with Magisk:
https://www.idroidspace.com/how-to-root-galaxy-s10-xda-reddit/
Here's a guide to flashing TWRP for Snapdragon S10 (which wouldn't be possible without root, I presume):
https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxyS10qcom.html
Am I just reading all of this wrong? I'm sure you can appreciate that with all this conflicting information and hundreds upon hundreds of pages across multiple threads, it's hard to know for sure.
Thanks in advance!
Exynos models can be rooted. Only some snapdragon models can be rooted, but they aren't U.S. models. The U.S. model phones are locked down tight.

Why are you linking external links shot TWRP, magisk and rooting when this place has all the answers already in the other s10 sub forum? I guess searching is not your forte [emoji90]

Alright there, hotshot. Show me where the thread is that matches my phone variant, and I'll take it from there.

Except... this. Hence my confusion. Some of y'all are saying yes, others are saying no. It's hard to know what to do for sure.

That article is not accurate. You can only root the top two models on that list.

See? That wasn't so hard, was it? There's a difference between being lazy and being confused by conflicting information. Wouldn't it be better to give someone the benefit of the doubt and try to help, instead of making snarky comments and hurling recriminations?
It has been well known that it's been at least several years or more since a US Samsung phone could be rooted.

To be expected if you've been a Samsung user all along. I've been an HTC user across the Tilt, HD2, Inspire, One and 10. That covers about... what... fifteen years?
So, "well known" to some is not so much to others. Obviously you immerse yourself in this, follow it vigorously, and therefore have knowledge that others don't. I buy a phone every couple years for business and personal use. I unlock, root, perhaps install a custom ROM but not always, install the necessary apps (TiBu, AdAware, etc.) and I'm done with it. It's not a hobby to me.
That said, I've already sent the phone back. Safe to assume the G975F/DS is what I'd be in need of?

Nope, wrong on all accounts. I came to the S9 then S10 after years of owning and developing firmware for Motorola phones. It doesn't take a genius to read and do a little research before they sink almost a grand into a phone. It also only takes less than a minute to Google and find the answer you've been hashing about for days. It sure as hell doesn't take a genius to figure out how to Google or even search XDA for that matter. Hell, it's been mentioned here a 100 times. If it takes you this long to figure out if you can root, you probably don't want to try.
