While this is excellent news, whatever the method is will not work on the AT&T variant.

This is a major deciding factor for me on getting the Note 4. Root is a must have just for AdAway and Xposed.

Because AT&T locks down all of their bootloaders. This makes it nearly impossible to root or flash custom roms. They've been doing this since last summer with the Galaxy S4.

Ya unfortunately. ATT's phone's for the most part have been rooted by geohots. Who now... Works for Google to fix the exploits for possible rooting. The ATT G3 was able to get rooted by Towelroot, I hope the same goes for Note 4... but I doubt it.

Yes, this is only for note 4's with unlocked bootloaders. It will not work on AT&T's or Verizon's. Possibly good news for the T-Mobile version though, as soon as we can get a stock rom dump to chainfire.
BTW: I would change my subject line OP so people don't get confused.

This is the first phone I have paid for not under contract. So as I started doing research u read about AT&T locking the bootloader. So last night I preordered the T-mobile phone just to have this ability. I did have to sign up for $50 a month just to be a customer but I will be a customer. I will cancel after the first month.

This will be my first time I am trying to convert a phone from one carrier to another. when I get the phone will I be able to just stick my existing AT&T sim card in to it and it work or will I have to wait for the 40 days and ask tmo to unlock it?
I know the iPhone 6/6+ came unlocked for tmo and you could just stick the AT&T sim card directly in to it and it would work.

From what I've gathered from the note 3 threads, we will most likely have to pay a website a fee to get an unlock code if we don't want to wait 40 days on contract for tmobile to do it. Chainfire released an app that had a "side effect" of carrier unlocking the sim for the Note 3. Whether that happens with the Note 4 remains to be seen. I'm just going to assume I'll have to pay a fee to an unlocking website.

I've had an htc one m7 with att and then wanted to sell it to a guy on craigslist who had t-mobile. you must sim unlock the device, it's a code. Just tell at&t or tmobile that you have a trip going to europe and need the phone unlocked to be able to use it. Then they will give you the unlock code. Put in the att sim card it will ask for a code then put it in.
What I did was I paid a guy on ebay 4$ to get the code and I got it within 5 seconds att was taking too long and the guy wanted the phone that day.

Guys are you sure that the T-Mobile Note 4 will fully work with AT&T?

No one will know for certain until the phones actually come out, but if you go by the cellular bands announced for the T-Mobile version, it should work.

SO... Now that some have the Note 4 for ATT... Does this work or not?

No, and don't try it either.
CF-ROOT won't ever work on AT&T Note 4 because it requires an unlocked bootloader to achieve it.

Is the AT&T bootloader def locked?

Won't be able to tell you until tomorrow

For all of you who are freaking out about it being a locked bootloader...so was the LG G3 for AT&T...we just got TWRP on it last week. Took 3 months but it is doable from the right people.
It was called "Bump" and I have tested the unlock myself with full custom twrp recovery & root.

[Q] Unlock Note 4 to use on another carrier

Hey guys anyone have done this already and can recommend me a reputable source to by or unlock my At&T note 4? I want to pass it on to my dad to use on Metro PCS. Please any help appreciated, thanks.:good:
Below are 3 sources I am thinking to try one of them:

Uhm, no, it isn't?
I used imei-unlocker, which seems to be the lowest price of anything else I've seen. The code they sent worked fine for me. I used the 1-3 days option, so it took some time, but others who used the higher priced tier got their unlock code in 15 minutes or so.

Great thanks Lesmaleinad. Are you referencing the APP on the PLAYSTORE or the website?
http://www.imei-unlocker.com/

Theres also this video linking to another what seems to be valid place. Ill give that one a try:

From my experience you just need a Note 4 that came from a AT&T Corporate owned store. I run Cricket and haven't had to unlock my device, my wife's, or my brothers for them to work on Cricket.

This might be a dumb question. But when you unlock this way and use on a service like straight talk, do you still receive OTA updates?

No you will not. You need ATT Sim/Service to have it up to 5.01 or later if ATT release new OTA update

I bought an unlock code on eBay for $20 I believe for my wife's att note 4 to use on t mobile. Worked like a charm.

Any Reason to Expect a Root Solution for a Verizon Note 7?
How about a hypothetical discussion about rooting until then?
I'm on a family plan with Verizon and I don't plan on switching carriers. Does anyone think it's worth me waiting to see if an unlocked/international/developer edition will be released in the coming months that would work on VZW and would be more likely to get a root exploit over the carrier-locked version?
If I pre-order the Verizon version now, I get it next week and I'll get a free 256 GB SD card with it. But I'll be kicking myself if two months later a developer edition or something comes along that would actually work on VZW.
I'd easily wait and pass up the free 256 GB card if it meant that I had a better chance of seeing root someday. Anyone have an opinion on buying now versus waiting?

Nobody knows if, or when the Note 7 will be rooted. I don't think we can expect a root within 3 months, but that's just me. By the time you wait, you might as well just go for the S8

I expect the N930U edition to be released about a month after the carrier release, which might be rootable but I don't expect anything soon. Especially since Samsung claimed they would update their phones to 7.0 within 2-3 months. Why would anyone release an exploit, only to have it patched with a new OS so soon?

Good points. But I'm big fan of the S-pen... If not this Note, then I'd be waiting for the Note 8. I could play that game forever.

Verizon and AT&T versions are the biggest problems. The note 5 and 4 were rooted for a year.

They are all problems since the s7 and s7edge as all Carrier phones were bootloader locked.... They have root now but no bootloader unlock fyi

Switch to...?

Hey fellas,
I literally just got my s8+ from Verizon. I am still within my period for about 12 more days to swap this out for a different phone.
Simple question is this: I know root is out for the s8+ but no bootloader hack yet. Does anybody think there is a better chance the pixel 2 will get the bootloader hacked before the s8+? (It's been out for a while now, I don't think it's going to happen to be honest)...

I don't think that the bootloader may get cracked on the Verizon Pixel 2/Xl. However, you will get updated for 3 yrs, that's enough for me to switch.

Reality is, if you have a Verizon 2 XL chances of ever having a bootloader unlock exploit is near 0%.
If you have a Google 2 XL chances are 100%.

It doesn't matter it's a Verizon phone either way the bootloader is locked like fort Knox. I ordered the Google branded unlocked version for this reason alone.

I may just stick with my s8+. It is a decent phone and there is a working root so far. I would like to compile android though (to be honest I am not sure what you can really do without bootloader access and roms as far as I am concerned).

Explain something to me; if you have Verizon, what possible advantage is there in ordering the Verizon version when you can get the unlocked version for the same price? If you put in your Verizon SIM in an unlocked version, does the bootloader all of a sudden get locked somehow?

No, the only difference between the two phones is Verizon locks the bootloader from the factory. Inserting a Verizon sim only triggers the play store to download 3 bloat apps which can be removed. The advantage I guess is that your getting device support / protection / warranty through Verizon in which case you are overnighted a new phone if anything goes wrong and can bring your problem to a local shop vs dealing with Google. Their deals and trade-in programs are much more robust than Google's as well. Bottom line for the average user that doesn't plan on rooting or installing custom ROMs it really makes no difference. All software updates come from Google not Verizon as well with the pixel phones so it makes no difference there.

Congrats! I have an unlocked Note10+ with AT&T prepaid SIM. I have a feeling it's gonna be awhile before I see it. Seems the unlocked phones get the shaft in the States.

Me and the rest of the Note 10 Sprint bois will be over here in the corner, heavily breathing until our time comes. T-Mobile dudes are invited if they bring cookies.

Tmobile and sprint got stable last week first in the s10+ today was att and vzw turn

Unlocked phones probably won't see an update till after Christmas, early January as the last beta had the December security update in itand came out about two weeks ago, So it will probably be rolled out with next months security update. They also just released a new version of 9.0 with the Star Wars theme, which also has the December security patch.

I received the update as well on At&t. I can say I am quite pleased on how fast these updates are happening. In a year's span Samsung turned it around, even the S9 and Note 9 users are on the beta before year's end. Bravo.
