[LEAK] User, Eng, & Debug builds

[designgears]

Mod Edit: You have a very probable brick if you successfully flash these ENG images. Dont do it.


These are the files that were leaked to me for the Verizon Note 3, I don't have anymore Notes, maybe someone else can do something with these.

Thanks again!

Okay:
Flashing bootloader through ODIN failed, I knew this was going to happen, just because it's a user release and a downgrade, just wanted to try. Recovered soft-brick to all my data intact by flashing MJ7 radio. Going to try the first engineering build next.

Nice thanks.

lets hope the bootloader download will save us in the future

OP,

Thank you for these!

I almost wonder in a way if this could be used towards some kind of bootloader unlock method.

That would be awesome. Enough to downgrade to be able to use loki maybe. If it's possible .

This could be a breakthrough with the right person or people working on it.

The aboot from the unsigned engineering build is significantly smaller than the rest... I wonder... Not to mention the SM-N900 boot recovery guide leak from Samsung. If we could get an old sboot.bin we might have a shot.

blahh.. i wish you guys the best of luck. However, I am sick of verizon locking down our dang devices. I'm taking my 4 lines over to sprint today where i can be worry free . With that said I have a new shinny note 3 (retail) and a note 2 and galaxy nexus for sale

Its not worth bring on a Sprint connection, that's junk man. Been there done that. TMobile, Sprint and ATT are all second seat to VZW in regards to service. Besides, what do you gain from getting an unlocked bootloader? AOSP? Junk too. Move to AOSP and not only will you have a phone on a junky network, you will have a less capable device in terms of reception. Been there done that.

These are ENG builds, not developer builds. The best you would get from flashing the bootloaderes would be more detailed information during the boot process, and it would not unlock your device's bootloader. Worst case, you will end up with a brick since these predate the SBLs you are running now, and a fuse has been blown to prevent the older bootloaders from functioning.

My word of advice is, unless you like bricking phones leave them alone.

I know it.
* therefore asked the firmware version from dev
with engineering Bootloader phone is not start...
but it does not die and then be impeccably renovated.

I was looking for an older sboot so I could attempt the leaked SM-N900 SD Boot Recovery process to see if I could downgrade my radio (step 14 in leaked article. Have you seen the leaked documentation? I could avoid the SW rev error and possibly have a loki-able aboot from an older pre-patch bootloader, which I might have found. I'm not sure though.

I'm at a friends house now. I can't remember where I found it but it was brand new. It's like 13-58 SM-N900 Boot Recovery and released by Samsung Global CS HQ. They revealed the short needed to boot SDCARD mode with the sboot, and the last step is to flash everything back including BP and AP, after you've restored boot process which makes me think it's possible. I'll link you immediately when I'm home. Also it was a mediafire link. I'll keep looking.

While safestrap is a great accomplishment I hope there are devs here that are not as content to call that a complete victory and manage to follow a crumb trail to an open bootloader.

Here you go
