I'm not sure. On my Galaxy S3, I was definitely able to Root and then install TWRP before the bootloader was cracked. On newer devices, that might not be the case anymore since they have been tightening things down.

I agree. Root will probably be achieved relatively quickly once the phone actually gets into developer hands. What WILL be tricky though (if it's even possible at all) will be achieving Root without voiding the Knox warranty. I think Root, Bootloader, and Recovery bounties should be kept separate. It might also be a good idea to wait until we actually get our hands on the device so we know for sure what we are up against and where resources will be needed most.
No your right but root is easily achived compared to bootloader its a lot less of a battle imo

Put me down for 250 for a full unlock cuz I know it'll never happen. Everyone should sell their device and get Dev edition when it comes out

True, but I'd be sorta surprised if it doesn't eventually show up since there were S4 & Note 2 DEs. Of course Samsung could pull the plug on DEs at any time, so who knows.
Once the bootloader is unlocked. On ur boot screen. It will say.. Custom. Before starting the boot screen... I will have that posted this weekend for you. .
CUSTOM.. means bootloader is unlocked.
Android is just the beginning.
Thank you!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

I can and will gladly change the first bounty to just be for root if people would like that..
However my intentions were this ( as with the Verizon Galaxy S4 bounty).
1. Root will most likely be achieved very easily in the coming weeks.
2. If that is true, then the money MAY be better spent on root+bootlooader bypass (ie Loki or Safe Strap etc).
3. I think if someone achieves root... They could work something out with whoever gets the boot loader bypass or full unlock.
@beanstown106 @open1your1eyes0 @sbreen94 @Dubbsy can you guys shed light on what you think is appropriate?
Let me know what the rest of you guys think. :thumbup:

First and foremost, all credit for this bounty template goes to @open1your1eyes0, with his permission.
Thank you very much
Since this is xda, and a vast percentage of us here desperately need root for many of our apps and mods that we use on a daily basis (including myself), not to mention custom recoveries so we could flash custom roms and such. It is now very critical that we (at the minimum) get root access on the verizon galaxy note 3 as soon as possible. As a result of this necessity, i would like to personally offer a $25 bounty to the first person able to find or create a method that allows us to fully root and provide the necessary steps for rooting the verizon galaxy note 3 here on xda.
Furthermore, I would like to personally offer a $50 bounty to the first person able to find or create a method that allows us to bypass the bootloader checks and boot into a custom recovery and provide the necessary steps here on xda.
Whoever you are, you will be doing us and many other upcoming owners of this device a great justice, and for that consider this as a token of my appreciation. I also greatly encourage and welcome anyone else willing to chip in to this bounty to post here and i will have the op updated of all users' donations to this request.
Greatly looking forward to anyone interested in becoming a candidate.

- Please note before making a post in the thread please refer to this post to see if your post will be acceptable. If it is not part of this list, your post will be reported and you may risk getting an infraction as per forum moderators.
- Please note if you do not explicitly state separate prices for root or bootloader bypass/recovery bounties, your contribution of the same price will be add to both lists.
- Please note you may not submit a contribution for only ONE bounty. If you post a contribution, one price will be applied to both bounties unless separate prices are explicitly stated.
- Please note you do not have to pay for both bounties separately. Whichever bounty gets fulfilled first is the one that you pay for upon collection. This is why your contribution is added to both lists automatically.
- Please note you may not make any specific restrictions or requirements that aren't listed in the OP. By making a post with your contribution price you are agreeing to paying out based on all terms listed in OP only and nowhere else.
- Please note once you make a post with your contribution you may not withdraw it at any time and are responsible for paying out once the bounty is claimed. The only changes that can be made are another post raising the prices if you choose so. Please make sure you read everything carefully. No exceptions!
- Please be advised that if Verizon or Samsung is to release an official method of unlocking the bootloader (extremely unlikely but must be accounted for) prior to any member of XDA's submission, this bounty automatically becomes invalidated.
