Looking forward to be using this forum.
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..

Was wondering a thing,at the moment I have 22 supporters on 100 needed. Then the requested number of people will increase. Can I post the petition link here? I really need your support to make it! Thanks in advance!
If I can't,just remove the thread,and sorry ^^

Samsung won't change it. It is voiding their warranty and they can set the terms in it freely. Nobody like to repair phones because someone was messing with stuff in them.

The level of complication in building such a device won't let you know if an issue has hardware or software origin.
I don't understand why people are against Knox, as Samsung introduced similar checking system long time before. The only reason why people aren't angry because of that is fact that there is a workaround for that.
Consider that people at Samsung aren't stupid and they know that messing with device is causing problems. Of course that some issues like faulty buttons may be independent from rom flashing but services don't want to check it. Tripped Knox give them a lot options to check and that cost money.
It is sad that everything come to money, but I think that everyone is clever enough not to support products that have been modified heavily.
Additionally, what you want to add to this is theres new tech in aosp built from knox.
also the wording of the petition is terrible and should have been editied and proof read. it comes off more as a petulant child not getting his way than a genuine want or query. and as for wording, listen what you need is for them to change the fact a knox flag affects warranty. not remove knox altogether

Directive 1999/44 / EC dictates that seller must repair product and it is his role to proof that root caused the issue (for example). In most cases Samsung is warrantor and not seller.

No one shouts "Give Update!" No one asks "unlock bootloader". No one asks root. maiko1 and jcase not interested in these issues ... So, I can use TURBO for cracking nuts? What about those who have upgraded to 5.1? I did this in order to make the method Unbrick to 5.1 and now I'm left the fool ... But I'm not the only one! I think people would pay for MOFO ROOT and UNLOCK.
I apologize for such a harsh tone, but very disappointing ... :crying:

AFAIK, maiko1 is working on trying to find an option to root 5.1. Root Junky was the one who implied that so I believe it.
But there are no guarantees that he can find one. Unfortunately, the bootloader on Motorola phones is getting tougher and tougher to hack. That is actually a good thing for your average user and especially for the business users.
We are a small minority of users - most Android users don't even know what a bootloader is and most want their phones to be secure and not easily hacked. We want the opposite but we are a niche market.
And jcase has repeatedly said he doesn't like people asking him for ETAs and bothering him to crack devices he isn't interested in. So there is no sense in bothering jcase about this - he is well aware of the fact that many of us would love for him to put some effort into hacking Motorola devices but he prefers to stick to the HTC devices.

I feel for you but in the future, please do not take OTAs unless you know there is a root method for the newer firmware or unless you are OK with doing without root.
I was the one who tested mofo on 5.0 for the first time so I knew I was taking a risk that if I upgraded to 5.0 it may not work. But I was OK with that because I was prepared to move on to the Nexus 6 if it didn't work. It ended up working so I stayed with my Moto X 2014.

Motorola phones have notoriously hard to crack bootloaders. We are lucky we even had mofo. Hopefully maiko1 can come through for us again.

What do you mean by zero-day? If you mean that motorola was unaware of it, well all exploits are zero-day exploits then. I don't think they would release phones if they knew there were vulnerabilities.

MoFo also worked on 5.0 and 5.0.2 bootloaders. Just not on 5.1.
I Kept telling everyone that we had a way to get 5.1 on the turbo and not to take the OTA. But I get it you where the kid in the candy store and just needed your lollipop. Look in less than 48 hours I had a system.img rooted and ready to be flashed.
You can try and warranty your phone most of them they send out are not updated to lollipop.

I'm trying that now. Actually not for that reason (my bluetooth isn't working), but I hope the replacement will still be 4.4.4 (highly chance since they cannot update those replacement that's already in the refurbished box )
I picked up my Note 9 from Rent A Center, it said "duos" on the box. It says sm-n9600, build number ends in hu1arg6. I'm asking because the way rent a center has their phones configured, set up is kinda weird and I may want to root, etc. So I want to make sure I don't have compatibility issues. One thing I did was run a program that shows it has a sd845. Not sure how accurate that program was, forgot the name.

Thank you. First app let force closing but the second one basically just said codename crown, n9600, sd845. So I don't need to worry about compatibility issues as long as ROMs etc are for a 9600, even with it being dual SIM and all that? Or are they all basically dual SIM?

Thank you for all the assistance
You have the HK/Latin america snap version, your bootloader can be unlocked!
There isnt as much development for this version typically as on the exynos but at least your not stuck with a crappy device thats locked down tighter than a drum.
Yo, I have a note 9 from rent a center as well and was hoping to get a little help here.
I have the N9600 ending in JHDF
I do believe that its unlocked but rent a center did a few modifications that I can't gain access to developer options. I did find a way in by stopping the set up process and get into developer options but I couldnt turn on usb debugging which is where I am.
How can I get into that to root? Can I flash the original N9600 to see if I can remove rent a center setup? Or can I straight up flash twrp and root from there? I probably have to flash some other file but I'm unsure. Any kind of help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

It's probably restricted in some way due to the terms of agreement they offer when you buy the phone from them. If it's paid off they should be able to remove it for you.

My guess is they probably buy those because they are more easily able to install their tracking and lock-down software on it. They probably have the bootloader unlocked, a custom rom with their software installed, and then re-lock it all.
There was a fella on the note 8 forums a while back with similar questions with a renta center device.

Yup. They use the 9600. And if you pay it off in 6 months, then the phone costs $1,871. But if you use the full 78 weeks to pay it off, then it costs $3,119. That's insane.
My concern would be the original owner would stop making their weekly RAC payments, and you get locked out of your Note 9. I believe that's what happened to the guy in the Note 8 forums.
I would assume that the prices from RAC are different depending on the region because in California right now the 6 month buy out cost us 1400 and at the long term is about 1900 which us still extremely high but some people have very bad credit or no credit at all and have to resort to something like this. The only other reason I did get us is because it has an unlocked bootloader and will be able to root it and start moding it to my preference etc. But I will have to wait till I pay it off now. I was hoping someone had already found a way around RAC type of lockdown.
Oh my god... How do they convince people to pay over three times the price for this phone?

It wasn't specifically directed at you. I'm sorry for not qualifying my comment.
FINAL EDIT: As many have noticed this thread is/has been very dead. First off, I tried to have someone on the mods to get this account of mine shutdown. That did not work as you can tell, but when that did not work I decided to just ignore this whole thing all together Second, this operation was not a man job as I was simply a middle man for a woman who wanted to help people but needed a hand. I was simply taking the info and spreading it to her. As popularity grew in the thread more and more requests came in and queue times were going to take longer and longer to fulfil. At some point I decided to give her access to my account because I was getting busy at my job and had no way to constantly upload new information to her so we could continue. This would give her a way to look into my messages and gather some info when she had her own time. I have no knowledge of what happened since, except for a few replies I would see that she made with my account. I would imagine over time she finally stopped or got caught since this thread and my messages are finally dying off. I do apologize if you were not helped but thankfully someone at some point during this period offered help in their own way too. So, THANK YOU GUYS for all the patience you gave, and I hope you guys enjoy the root or unlocked bootloader that you got because of this post.

She isnt doing anything against policy, T-Mobile reps have a lot of leeway with regards to the unlock policy, I have gotten 'manager overrides' to unlock for basically every single tmo device I've ever had since the note5.

Although this time I pm the aforementioned user because I didn't want to wait on hold until I get a rep that would finally understand how to get it done.

I understand the views behind the idea of donations. It was never mandatory. If you don't wish to, you don't have to. Simple as that. Either way it's someone going out of their way in our community, to help us out. They at least deserve a thanks of any kind.

Hey everyone!
So I did not realize how much attention this would get. SO, in an effort to help out everyone but keep this a little more low key PM me your phone number and last name! All of this info will be sent to the user for the unlock to go through.
This is both to benefit those with the Tmo variant of the device and keep the user responsible a little more safe and secure. If you have questions please feel free to PM me and ask away!

Thank you. Respect to you for respecting them.
Did you delete the other post that I quoted you on? I tried loading it and it just said "fetching page" forever.
None of my PM's are going through. Would you please message me so I can provide you with the name and number.
Disregard - a T-Mobile rep manually whitelisted my IMEI via Facebook chat, so I was able to SIM-unlock.

Not that I wouldn't want to do this as I prefer root on any device I have, but as someone who used to work for tmo if she gets caught she could definitely lose her job. I agree with the others you should probably take down the post

Dre is 100% right. My wife is a supervisor in a TMobile call center and the user doing this would 100% lose her job if caught. There is a big difference between getting an override from a supervisor and going into someone's account the way she is. Due to Port out fraud T-Mobile has placed many safeguards on accounts. One of those being pin number/password for the account. Going into someone's account without having it verified through T-Mobile's policy is 100% enough to get her fired no questions asked.
Don't get me wrong I think it's awesome that she's unlocking phones for people but the way she is doing it she would 100% lose her job if her name got out.
So for those who thought the Pm's did not go through... They did lol. I just woke up and updated the info for the person to unlock everyone's devices. Please note it may take some time, who knows how busy a work day could be for them. If it is any help, when I originally requested mine, I did so at 10pm (around then) and it was done the following day around 4pm. So thank you for all of your patience! I will be personally PMing all of you when each one is done.

I made sure a mod was contacted so they could get rid of anything with the previous links, or mentions of said individual.
just did mine, literally look an hour.
Yeah let me tell you. She is fast! A few errors for only 2 people that I know of so far. So they are looking into those. A few others did not show up in the system yet. So they are going to check tomorrow and I will keep you guys posted via PM about that.
