anyone, this is a emergency - ive tried google and looking through here but dont know were to start lol . or is there a way i can totally brick it as im in my 28days lol so can take back just the at&t looks a bit suspect lol

Not entirely sure but can you get into the 3 button download mode? (Guide in general section). Also posting in the dev section will not help as that section is for developers not for questions about phone problems.

Hi,
I dont want to be rude but...
It's always an emergency, the fact is, it's a Forum, not a chat, let ppl the time to answer, don't urge them or you'll get 0 answers. Plus you didn't search enough, because everything you need is around... just try to use the search button.
You ****ed up so help yourself and don't be lazy...search: JIG/JTAG

If you know about JIG/JTAG so you supposed to know that's the only way in your case, no miracle, sorry.
Hope you sort it out that way, GL.

well i was hoping there was some other way of doing it to this. as seems results are scattered. y i posted here.
well thanks anyway

If it's truly an emergency you could try the heat trick, although jig will be infinitely safer.

The heat trick is a legend...made by ppl who actually have not really bricked or semi-bricked their phones (just a lucky coincidence). He'll only manage to kill his phone for real.

kinda reminds me of the old xbox has broken heat trick. if it did work i think the life of my fone would be shortened. it seems to have totally died now (guess coz cant charge) so im going to have a my fones stopped working chat. i think im still in the 28 days so hopefully they will just replace it. thanks all for the help
and sorry if seemed fussy - i know its my fault but there has always been some kind of software fix with my old htc's guess i rid on hope lol

It's much easier to brick a galaxy s than any htc device I have found out when reading this forum.

I seem to be getting that impression too. on a worse case with any of my HTC phones i ever had i could do something to get it working. and i have had some **** ups happen. this was a stupid mistake and im sure on a forum where we have oms posted for both i cant be the first person to click the wrong one as im getting the idea they are simular but hey its a brick now. so carphonewarehouse i go. and just hope they cant switch it on and see the at&t screen lmao.

I had a similar result a couple of weeks back after trying to flash hardcore's speedmod kernel CWM version in Odin - not very sensible...
Couldn't get into download mode at all. After panicking for a couple of hours, I removed the battery for 2 hours, reinserted it and all was good - i.e., got download mode back.
Worth a try, you're not going to make it any worse. Hopefully... Good luck.

as addition, for me wifi and bluetooth (both connected) give very poor internet speed and even wifi disconnecting without restoring the connection ( acces point not available while the acces point is online )

Unlock Boot Loader for the Note 3?

Searched but did not an answer.
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.
Thanks,

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.

So I guess we won't be seeing a bootloader unlock for a while.

Lol. It is funny that you say you searched though. One simple Google search would've given you your answer

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.
Information gathered from searching for you. You're welcome.

Really? All that?
You can simply say: "No, there's no boat loader unlock available or anytime soon".

Don't feed the trolls. It does nothing but get u in trouble with the mods. I know from personal experience. Like last week. Not worth it.

possible exploit

I remember some else sayin g this in another thread but can't remember which one. But any way I was trying art out but my battery was gettin g creamed with it so I switched back to dalvik during reboot my bootloader screen had a unlock logo along with it saying custom underneath the unlock logo.
Could we exploiting this. I'm not home or anywhere near a computer to try. But I was thinking if we can enter recover right after rebooting back to dalvik it may let us flash?
Just an idea, I hope this can lead to something.

lol i noticed people in this forum are on edge when it comes to root. i just got my phone this weekend so im still making my way through the forum. i just noticed something and wanted to throw it out there. ive been in the android community for a long time now and if you guys have been here as long as i, should know sometimes it could be the simplest things that could be a break through.
just trying to help.
i really dont care for root as much as others, coming from an m7 im happy with the upgrade.

Been posted many times, unfortunately it's nothing but a mere custom logo with no hopes of anything.. thanks for trying though.

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..
