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.

I was referring to S4
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

So rumor has it right now that theres an update coming out for the G Flex next month in April that is supposed to include 4.4 and also knock code. Do you guys think that this is an update everyone should do? Or is it going to make it even harder for people trying to unlock the bootloader if we update?

I'm pretty sure the current root method won't work once the Flex is updated to KitKat. I know with the G2 a developer was able to make a stock KitKat Rom with Root quickly. Not sure the Flex will be so lucky since the Flex seems more locked down then the G2. I was a flash whore but I'm cool with stock for now.

Sprint is usually quick with updates so hopefully they push it out real soon
Gonna be awhile I'd imagine for US due to most of the carriers taking their good Ole time pushing them through. Just bought mine today and has 4.2.2, lol! I had 4.3 on my note 2. I wish I had a time machine like that, haha!

Just got a reply from LG that there will come official info for the EU/nordic model within a few weeks
For those of us that are rooted how will we get the ota update? Will it come to use and we can just do the update and still keep the root or do we have to unroot in order to update?

You would need to unroot. Do not try ota while rooted.

there haven't been any updates on the flex, so no one knows if you can do it or not..
the cardinal rule has always been NEVER do an OTA update if you are rooted..

according to all the internet rumor mills/sources, its coming sometime in the next 30 days.
since each carrier has their own "version" that they push, it could be alot sooner or alot later, depending on your carrier..
I'm tired and don't know how I would effectively search for this.
I am going to sell my current phone and pick this one up again.
With the recent software update I want to know if there is any software version that can't have custom recovery installed.
thanks in advance.
Theoretically, 24a doesn't support a custom recovery, but there is a method to make it happen. 24a had also been rooted, so you should be good to go.
Thanks Devs, from my LG G2
So with 24a I imagine downgrade install recovery upgrade?
Thanks brah

First off let me say thanks for reading my question.
I am an HTC One M8 guy myself. However, my daughter has the G Flex from T-Mobile. She has fallen in love with some of the XPosed framework modules. Does the G Flex support XPosed framework? I told her I would root her Flex and put the frameworks on her phone but I wanted to make sure it supports that app before I root it.
Thanks again!
Yes works fine

Hi, i have a flex D955 as well running 4.4.2 and i wanted to root it. But on the IORoot it says only 4.2.2 is supported. And on YouTube i found an app called Towelroot or something like that.
On my Galaxy S3 i'm running Xposed and root was no problem.
How did you get rooted? And can you switch to ART with Xposed? On S3 custom rom it was not possible.
Thanks for your answer in advance.

Just one more 'stupid' question. Is there a way to unroot my phone just in case i need to send it to repair.
Sent from my LG-D955 using XDA Free mobile app
All these questions have been answered in tons of the g flex forums. Probably could answer most of them with just the titles of the threads on XDA.

yes, there is an LG flash tool you will find lots of places and lots of references to throughout the Flex forums.
you use it to flash your original firmware, if you want to bother "restoring it" back to stock for some reason..
I'm trying to upgrade my buddie's phone here. Not very familiar with the s5 community and what's available..
Can this phone be rooted, TWRP'd, and flashed to nougat or marshmallow officially or otherwise?
Please help, any advice is appreciated.. Thanks
Depends on what version of android you have now if it can be rooted. If you have lollipop or marshmallow, then no, there is no root. Marshmallow is available via ota update.

Those instructions are for KitKat, it was patched in Lollipop.
Give me the baseband version of your phone (in settings, looks something like G900AUCU4BOF3)

As of now all you can try is Kingroot, which may or may not work (haven't tested it). Let's see if we can get as far as root and then we'll go into ROMing

NO DON'T!! YOU WILL BLOW A QFUSE AND THE PHONE WILL NEVER EVER BE ROOTABLE!
Your best bet is to wait for an iovyroot build and try that

Well my buddy will accept leaving his phone on official lollipop, but would at least like all the att apps removed...
Can I uninstall these apps rather than disable them? No root = no titanium backup [emoji52]
