Just like the title implies, does anyone think it may be possible to root the att/Verizon versions with towelroot as was possible with the s5? Any brave soul want to try? Any dev believe this idea has feet?
No it does not work

Is there any potential for a tool to exploit the same hole as towelroot did on the s5 to gain root on the s6/edge?
Could be possible depending if there is an exploit that has not been patched
I dream that one day we will have root.

If you did not know yet, Chainfire has released Autoroot for the S6 and S6 Edge. Go to the Chain Fire website for download.

That's correct. AT&T and Verizon variants have a locked bootloader. No root for you. (Seinfeld joke)

So to help us determine future mod capabilities such as custom recovery's and rom's any word if the at&t note 3 has an unlocked bootloader?... Only those with it in hand would be able to answer this question with the proper tools.
I don't have one in my hand but I can promise you the bootloader is locked.
Is there a way to unlock the bootloader?
As of right now, no one knows.

Why now I wonder? All they achieve by locking the bootloader is potentially losing my business to another carrier...

Look at the S4, still no bootloader unlock. If you want a GN3 unlocked bootloader your best option is to buy it unlocked.

Just for my clarification, how are people installing a custom recovery and roms on the AT&T S4 if bootloader is locked? Couldn't we do the same on the AT&T N3? Thanks
The bootloader is unlocked on all Canadian versions...... Sorry to the Americans out there.. Lol. I love Canada

they are using safestrap recovery ..
Eventually, someone will figure out an exploit. The S4 uses and exploit called Loki. Since the Note 3 was just release it will be a while before anyone figure out an exploit.
I have one in hand but I dont know what tools to use to see if the bootloader is locked. Tell how to check and I will as long as it doesnt brick my device.

Safestrqap is the newest exploit for the s4, but Someone will figure out an exploit for the locked bootlaoder for this Note 3. I am due for an upgrade, I just trying to decide on the Note 3 or S4.
What do you have now? I have htc One and I'm getting Note 3 for a change. I'm going to sell my Nexus 7 tablet too since I'm hoping with Note it won't be needed.

I suggest Note 3 because of the bigger battery, snapdragon 800 and the bigger screen.
With this locked bootloader you can still root the phone right? I don't really care about anything else except for 1. Root, and 2. Adaway. These are the only 2 things I need on my phone. Thanks

I saw a post from Chainfire indicating he was releasing auto-roots for a bunch of variants today(he didn't mention which ones but I've got my fingers crossed). Apparently the current bottleneck is Sammy's crappy d/l servers.
Looks like no dice with Chainfire, at least for now. https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/JVxv5298wdU
Apparently he needs the recovery extracted from the firmware. I checked sammobile.com for our firmware and they haven't put it out yet. I sure hope they do.

You can't usually dump the recovery partition without having root...usually a custom recovery is needed...hence he needs the firmware which contains the recovery partition.

CF root likely won't work if the ATT BL is locked, but the only definitive way to check is to get the firmware and extract the recovery, send it to CF and have him package something up and then have someone flash with Odin, if the BL is locked, then it will either fail to flash, fail to boot, or worse, also once you flash anything not deemed official you trip the knox warranty flag and your without a warranty..

I'm pretty sure root will break some things. I was able to sign up for Isis and get the $50 credit, but my wife wasn't able since her Note 3 is rooted. Google Wallet might still work though. Ready to root though.

Kingo doesn't work on KitKat. It only works on Jellybean.
If you're on 4.4.2 you can root with Towelroot (search on Google and you'll find the apk). If you're on 4.4.4 there are threads the AT&T Note 3 general section about how to root that.

Correct. It is likely that this version with the locked boot loader won't get custom roms any time soon, if ever.

I have no idea, but its nothing anymore special than the other monthly kernel vulns we see. For your phone you would need a bootlaoder or dmverity exploit too

Huh I thought that root and bootloader unlocks were seperate because we didn't need an unlocked bootloader for towelroot. But also dm-verity was introduced in Android 4.4 and towelroot for this was for 4.4.2 and thee was no dm-verity bypass needed.
Hi, after all remote commands , or vulnerabilities, read carefully where is your /system malware by default.

Best possible thing to do would be to keep it on as long as you can and download a rom installer, to write a script to install the rom that the phone HAS to abide by.
