How do you disable reactivation lock? I unchecked the box and entered my pw but it's still checked.

Update: I found the answer. Thanks

Worked for me... Not sure why but it deleted everything on my internal SD and repartitioned my external. It created about 20 small partitions. So you might want to be sure to backup any important files. BIG THANKS TO THE DEV!

I'm supposing that if I am running 5.0 the 4.4 TWRP will not work...

Once I get this to work will I be able to downgrade to 4.4/install a custom recovery/etc. ?
No...I know it is confusing but 4.4 is the bootloader version. You can run whatever firmware you want.

I am running CM 13 without issue as of last night. Works fine.
On Verizon? What build?

Send me a radio logcat if you can from boot until it connects to 3g/LTE

I am going crazy not having access to a PC right now. I so want to free my phone lol.

Anyone have exposed working??

Another question with CM13 can you still have spen support?

I thought about searching for this but since we have been locked for so long didn't think this ever came up before.

Thanks in advance.

Well, the unlock worked great! TWRP from Flashify, not so much... ended up with a Verizon bootloop telling me that I am running non SELinux enforcing recovery. Must be a simple way around that, but I can't seem to get past it.

TWRP from ODIN also not working... tried 3.0.2 as well as older versions. Weird.

EDIT: NVM... flashed OF1 from ODIN, re rooted and tried again and it worked fine. FYI...I figured out what happened. SuperSU didn't ask for root access for adb until well after the process had already started running. Interestingly, the bootloader appeared to still have been unlocked, but still failed to boot recovery.

I made this for the S5. I modded it with your unlock binary. All it requires is you to answer yes in the samsung unlock binary
I dont have a note 3 so let me know.
Edit: You must have busybox installed
1. Install SamsungUnlockerN3.apk
2. Grant SU access
3. Click On Install SamBootloader Unlocker
4. Grant SU access
5. Type Yes Hit enter wait for device to power off
6. Should be unlocked

Wow an apk for unlock. To bad root wasn't so simple. Being on 0F1 is a pain. I SO need to find a PC to use for 5 minutes.
