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

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.

Where did you get that safe strap I'd like to tinker around with it.

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.

Hurray!
That's cool. Haven't really needed it o this phone yet tho. The e4gt on the other hand, mobile Odin was practically a must and saved so much time.

Not to sound ignorant but what exactly is the benefits/features of having Odin on our phones?

I hear you. It was critical on the E4GT but don't really see the need on our phone. Cool that it still supports it though.

Can we root with mobile odin?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium HD app
If you are already rooted, yes. I know this makes no sense. If you are no root originally, no. Mop needs root to work. Flash a non rooted tar and use the root feature, then at least with my e4gt, it would do it. Mop won't work stock. I haven't had the need yet to use it on the s4. If I did, I'd probably try flashing stock MDL, inject root, and install oudhs recovery all in one shot. Theoretically it should work.

Do you know where I can find stock MDL? When the OTA dwnlded to my phone I was so paranoid about losing and not being able to regain root that I avoided installing, and even uninstalled SamPushService at one point. Of course, since then a work a round's been developed, but now I can't access the dwnld even though it's indicated to be there. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Angie.
EDIT:Found it, about 2 threads down. Duh!

Ah yes, I have many a memory of flashing the EL29 kernel/recovery with Mobile Odin in order to flash a rom. It was so irritating having to re-flash recovery every time I wanted to flash a rom on that phone.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app
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

OK here's the deal, IOroot25 method, rooted flawlessly. Made an attempt to install openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-vs980 via flashify which forced phone into reboot. now stuck in lg boot with secure boot error with a boot certification verify, followed by auto-mount of device showing contents of multiple drivers within the vs980 I can access download mode but not recovery. Unfortunately while in download mode ubuntu 14.04 doesnt recognize device through adb or fastboot. verified both adb and fastboot are operational with my nexus7 device. I also checked android51 rules for allowance of vs980. I have read through xda dev threads for 3 days (night and day) trying to figure this thing out without any luck. I would really like some assistance here you guys.... lol anything would be greatly appreciated at this point.
You might need to get a Windows machine and use the lg flash tool to flash the kdz file.

Wait wait, so where did you end up?
I'm in the same boat. I can use my phone just fine but can't get into recovery. Did you manage to get a custom rom installed?

Back stock rooted 24a. Wonna put that Carbon ROM in but gonna set up emulator for debugging if I can get one to work. Or might wait until someone figures out how to unlock bootloader.

Looks like this guy has some ideas.

I'll let you know if I get twrp installed.
Looks like the Freedom tool is the way to go on 24a. But until bootloader is fully unlocked, we will continue to have stability issues. Every ROM is working off of the Loki patch. Now I'm not nockin loki it's a good work around, but for stability issues I'm gonna stay rooted stock debloated. This G2 xposed module is decent, and fairly stable for good customization http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549923
