[Q] 3/22/14 Verizon note II I605 jellybean 4.3 bootloader lock?

[Jorden7491]

Hey guys!
I'm starting a new thread because I been wondering if any Xda developers have found a solution for the new update jellybean 4.3. I been searching day and night to see if any one as successfully found a solution for this product problem. If anyone knows any method on unlocking the bootloader will be helpful. I seen Adam and he's XDA teams been working on some projects but I'm not sure if it's for the I605 ver. 4.3 note2.

you can pay 75 dollars to mobiletech for them to downgrade it for you. The remove the emmc chip and reflash it.... I might be testing a method soon but it seems kinda risky. You have to short a small resistor.

Can you elaborate on the resistor part?

roflcoptersoisoi- just an idea.... do you think it might work if you put your sd card in another phone and then hook that phone into your computer to connect it as a usb mass storage device? Maybe that would let you access the external sd card through the computer and use win32diskimager to write the image to the external sd card.

So win32diskimager would not recognize the sd card when you had the phone connected your computer? Darn. I was hoping that might work. Oh well, at least it was worth a try. I hope you figure something else out. Sounds like you might have to just go buy a cheap SD adapter.... or take Jorden up on the offer .

we got safestrap to boot roms atm. But you are limited to 4.3 touchwiz roms... So this still needs to be tested as we can use kit kat roms and future stuff that comes out

I would be happy flashing TW ROMs. Are you at the point where you can share what you have, or need someone to try it out?

Your bootloader is locked but there is a work around on xda where you can run your rom virtually and still keep stock rom just be careful about how you do this because you might brick your phone
