Bounty Details VZW Build MI9

*UPDATED 10/21/2013*

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.

DISCLAIMER

  • 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.

@AdamOutler,

Would you mind chiming in here when you get a chance and letting us know if you have any note 3 plans ahead?

We are hearing rumors that you're done with Samsung devices (I wouldn't blame you)

Either way, thanks for everything you've done.

I think anyone working on exploits should idle in #galaxy-note-3 on freenode so that we can brainstorm with each other. Unless there's already some other room set up. IRC works a lot better for this sort of thing. I'll be in there my name is bots on freenode :good:

Put me down for $25 (bootloader unlock) and $10 (root) . The locked bootloader is the only thing that is keeping me from using my dumbphone upgrade on a VZW N3

    If you pledged for root bypass please send your donations to designgears.

    Doesn't matter that he's moved on from the device.

    And while I greatly appreciate the donations (and I know several of you donated), it doesn't hurt my feelings if you wait for a full functioning Safestrap (able to flash ROMs to rom slots).

    Hi Guys,

    At this time, I am VERY reluctant to take a donated device, due to the amount of unknowns that are still in play with the hijack process on the Note 3. It is literally one of the first production devices running Android 4.3 and SELinux: Enforcing.

    Over the last few days, I've been examining what's needed to get Safestrap up to par for a device like this, and I was able to fix-up the 2nd-init hijack to work with Android 4.3's new libc (bionic) changes.

    But, that change doesn't solve the potential SELinux issues. Over the next week or so, I will be sending out experimental Safestrap builds to a few testers (who have made it perfectly clear a brick doesn't bother them) for the express purpose of seeing how much play we have in the current SElinux policies.

    So for now, while I am pleasantly surprised at the gesture, let's hold off on a device donation.

    Thanks!

    I have a new bugfix version im working on. The charger bug is fixed and a few dev related changes.

    Trying to trace down 1-2 more bugs and then I'll put it out.
