Verizon Note 3 unlock not working

I have been reading this thread for several hours now. I have downloaded the Samsung Unlock N3 apk and installed it.

It says Install SAMBOOTLOADER UNLOCKER when I run it. I tap on the greyed out box but nothing happens.

My ICCIS is Unknown? I do not have a SIM installed. I am trying to unlock to use phone on a different carrier.

How do you just update just the modem/radio?? The LineageOS 16/Android 9 has a bug where the mobile network dies completely... I had to flash back to stock rom which fixed the mobile network issue, but then I had to go through the hassle of rooting and unlocking bootloader again... major pain in the ass... I wish I could have just updated the modem/radio
If you make a backup of your phone in twrp. When your phone loses signal just restore EFS from your backup. I wish there was a fix to stop it but I can't find anyone who solved the issue. But restoring the EFS from twrp backup works for me

Not sure what information this provides for my problem. My Note 3 is bricked, stuck in a boot loop. Can someone walk me through getting it un-bricked? I did not load TWRP before I attempted to unlock. My bad but now I am stuck. I can get to the boot loader but the PC no longer "sees" the phone so I can use Odin to reload anything. Suggestions please!

i did this too

its gone at least mine is i have tried everything known to make my computer play nice with the phone,i even have another n900v that is fine and i was able to get a little progress by switching the phones back and forth on the sync cable, the original sync cable nothing helped when connected by micro usb cable. i did manage to get odin to show it blue lighted and when i flashed anything it would start the update and stall about midway thru, this was the same for any package format .tar, md5's all were a no go. i do believe short of jtag or similar methods will be the only way to breathe life back to it. very tempermental root on the verizon note 3 is fairly unstable and unreliable in my opinion

more than likely you have an adb connection issue probably should check on that assuming you gained temp. root before running the unlock commands, check to see if you have drivers right
App flashify installs Twrp easy. All there no searching works beatiful

TWRP lists n900v as hlte
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. ?

I will try again. It didn't work.
Enjoy. Don't forget to thank @beaups too, he discovered the eMMC backdoor and exploited it!

UPDATE: [8/2/16] I have recompiled the binary with some fixes beaups made. These fixes should take care of the "samsung device only" error some are getting on 4.4 roms.

Disclosure: I do not own a Note 3. The exploit happened to be applicable to the Note 3, and we compiled it for your devices rather than not release it at all. This seems like a reasonable and friendly thing to do for the community. I can't help you root or teach you how to use ADB. It's important you have the ability to do these things or research them a bit before blindly using this. I am very familiar with Samsung however, and time permitting, will do my best to help anyone having issues.

You should not run this if you don't understand it.

ROOT REQUIRED, we aren't responsible for anything you do with this.
You NEED a MicroSD, and it WILL be formatted during this process.

YOU MUST DISABLE REACTIVATION LOCK OR YOU WILL HAVE ISSUES!!!!!!!!!
You can download the eMMC brick bug check app on the Play Store to verify your CID starts with 15. If it does, you are good. If not, it will not work.

The code below is NOT a script, you must enter the commands manually.

You must unzip the file first.

Download

Code:
adb push unlock_n3 /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp/
chmod 777 unlock_n3
chown root.root unlock_n3
./unlock_n3
Allow device to reboot. After full reboot, run
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp/
./unlock_n3
again, power down and pull battery. May need to run it again if it doesn't work after the battery pull.

after running .unlock i get this output
tmp-mksh: ./unlock_n3: can't execute: Is a directory

Its not allowing me to issue .unlockn3. There is no action. I'm referred to the first parT of adb commands. Not the 2nd one

Did the apk work?

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
BusyBox installed... Keeps "installing" and doesn't. Sometimes it shows in app drawer and others it don't. I got zygote to be in su, but app doesn't work. Any ideas?

Update. Got it to work by getting rid of my installed terminal emulator. I installed Rshr and then ran the apk twice. . Having terminal emulator already installed just caused issues.
Make sure you have rshr, and busybox on your device. If you notice "custom icon" on reboot gone, it means it worked. After hitting yes in script, your phone will shut down. Reboot... Run apk again.... On next reboot your custom icon should appear and your boot loader will be unlocked!

Has anyone, perhaps, tried it on a N900A?
The CID matches with a N900A dev edition, it starts with 15------

SM-N900A is an AT&T Note 3 phone...

Hello, I think this method should also apply to the sm-p605v released at the same time. How can I change your method so that it can unlock p605v? I'm much obliged
