Verizon locked bootloader

I guess I should have done more research before I switched to Verizon but Is this something that they do to all their devices?
I just got the phone yesterday and I'm already regretting it..
Those restocking fees are not sounding to bad right now

In my opinion since there is ways to load a custom kernel there is no reason to trade...there are lots of people working on unlocking the boot loader and I would like to see it unlocked. But, for now the ways that we are working around this issue are around and a good solution for now

Same thing happened to me when I got it. Was really disappointed. But their is no phone out comparable to it. Anything else whatsoever is a downgrade.

It depends on your definition of downgrade because honestly I'm trying to figure out what makes this phone so popular?
It can't be the design because this is not at all a nice looking phone.. It can't be the ui cause touch wiz looks like a ten year old designed it
The galaxy nexus with jelly bean I heard is very smooth

There are fully functional jelly bean builds. It's popular because it's a beast, and development is excellent despite the roadblock (which no longer matters).

This is the first time that I own a galaxy s phone and I bought it because of all the hype it gets.. There are like a thousand commercials about this phone
I truly want to know what it is that makes it a beast.. I'm not trying to be a troll or whatever I'm just curious?

...are you serious? It's by far the fastest phone on the market. Development is excellent, the community is great. The Nexus is a great phone, go get it if you want it, but it's already seriously dated and the camera blows.

I'm asking myself the same question
I guess my main disappointment is the bootloader
But I understand that it's a newer device so it will take some time..
I guess what I will have to do in the mean time is use widget locker for that horrible lock screen and find a good launcher
Any recommendations

Take a look at Nova Launcher.

Ok so I rooted the phone and it did make the phone a bit more interesting
Now to wait for an easier way to install custom recovery and roms
Tapping that from another galaxy

It's super easy to install roms. Go to the market and download ez recovery, go into easy recovery and install cwm 6.0.1.0. That's it's now go find a tin you like boot into recovery and flash the rom. Of course make a backup first and stay away from asop roms imho. To many people had issues. Flash synergy, beans or cleanrom. Those are all safe roms

Installing custom recovery and ROMs doesn't get any easier than it is now. EZ recovery app, as said above, for custom recovery and clockwork recovery for ROMs mods etc.. If you screw up there is always ODIN. As long as you don't brick the bootloader (just don't flash bootloaders) ODIN should fix near anything I believe.

Thanks for the advice guys I really do appreciate it

If you flash something with Odin or mobile Odin, the flash counter will increase

Tripping the flash counter is only an issue though if i plan to take my tab back to the store? Or does that have implications with it even if i dont try to return it or exchange? I dont plan on returning my tab soon just currently the only available root method for the sch-i705 is by odin

The app ''TriangleAway'' by chainfire resets the flash counter. here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114

Triangle away works amazingly well. I use it on my phone to get rid of the yellow triangle thats caused by flashing. I will use it on my tab if I ever need to send it back. Chainfire is an awesome developer.

Flashed JB back to ICS but want Root
Been combing thru the developer section for hours. Of course, you have to almost go back to September for ICS related stuff. But, only saw the rom, recovery & root rom for JB. Where is the one for ICS? Even some of the custom tweaked roms for ICS now have dead links. I have root explorer and want to take some of the crap off and add some stuff.
I didn't like JB because of the GUI the notification bar was awkward and not sized right. Didn't like the screenshot softkey being gone either. The youtube buffering and connectivity was a turn off too plus the battery drain. I got 8 hrs on JB and 13 hrs on ICS. I would love to root and or put on a custom rom, any suggestions?

so i'm gonna be getting this tab in a couple weeks, and i have never had a multi version tab before (wifi onlyversion, and different carrier versions).
i found this thread, and i'm glad i did. my first question about this tab, is development related. i want to know how the community is, and how active it is. i quickly looked through the dev section and it seemed pretty positive, but it was just a quick look, so not a very accurate perception.
secondly, my question is on different twiz versions, are all stock images rootable in the same way? or are some versions more difficult to root? and i don't care about flash counters as the device is a glorified secondhand device.
and finally, just wondering how others like this tab, i don't want to start a war, or anything. just wondering about the device, because i'm new to samsung tabs.
besides that, i'm looking forward to being a part of this community.

There isnt a whole lot of development for the 10.1 version. But all of the man stuff is there and awesome. Its very easy to root on all versions of twiz. I personally love the device. I have the 5113 version which has an infrared blaster which is very useful to me. The specs arent spectacular but I havent slowed my tab down even playing high quality games. Im currently on stock jb rooted with twrp as my recovery. I havent overclocked yet either. Dont have the need for it currently

Galaxy tab 2 p3110 3G + WIFI has two problems after rooting.
I recently got a samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 P3100 and rooted it with cwm and everything was ok. Next day, i decided to upgrade os to Jelly Bean but i copied the file to internal sd card instead of the external one, In order to correct this, i removed the ext sd card while the pad was still connected to the laptop and copied the files through the card reader of the laptop, put back the card in the tab before disconnecting. Now I completed the upgrading process, but instead of the jelly bean, i got the ICS. In download mode the laptop recognised the tab and I've flashed with odin two more time.I've rebooted in recovery mode twice without luck.
These are the problems:
PROBLEM 1. back and since then my laptop can't see the tab, I've done kies, reloaded usb drivers etc, no luck.
PROBLEM 2. In-coming calls are blocked but I can call out.
PLease help.

[Q] ParanoidAndroid 3.50 Port for d2vzw

Hi I was wondering if anyone could port PA 3.50 from the Verizon Galaxy Nexus to our phone, or help me in porting it. I have it booting but I can't get pass the boot screen. Any help please?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

There is no need to port a ROM that already has support for this phone. Version 3.50 will be made available by the developers for the Galaxy S 3 in due time. FYI it is not a smart thing to flash a ROM that isn't for your device. Lastly the most recent version for this phone is 3.15 and was added just 3 days ago.

cant help with porting, but notta already said hed take care of us once its ready if you missed it.
chat heads looks to be a similar app you can try in the meantime? either way good luck.

Yeah i just wanted it for personal use, i seen notta say that but who knows when PA will make the build public.... 1-4 weeks no one knows.

i hear you. it looks cool. wasnt trying to be a dic* lol...was just tryin to help. there was a member that ported it over in the thread, maybe you can pm him.
it was a few pages back from where the thread is now. I thought it was funnyperson but im improbably wrong.

Galaxy Note LTE 10.1 N802X Roms

Hey Everyone.
Can we please populate this thread with all the versions of roms especially for the N8020.
I have a question for the Dev's though... how hard is it to customize existing N801X roms into N802X roms?
There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of choice for us who are using the LTE / 4G version of this tablet!

This is a good idea. Including the Verizon SCH-i925 lte version.

Its really a big shame IMO as the lack of development on the LTE version has really made the device a little boring and uninspired...
Don't get me wrong though; as a commercial product its actually quite sound and is very stable in my experience but just boring for someone who really got a taste for flashing when they owned a Tab 7"... that device was saved by the development in the beginning and really had some awesome enhancements by the time I lost my device and stopped checking in..
Anyway all I have at the moment is this one;
Darkman [ROM][STOCK][4.1.2][BMC3] ★★N8020★★ Stock Rooted Busybox Deodexed (CWM) [12/05/2013]
And;
emptynick's thread asking for a wish list of ROM's for the n8020
That's it though...
Anyway the second one is a newish one and so maybe someone is going to take on the job for us and get some stuff ported at the very least.. who knows

I'm no dev, but it seems like the kernels are quite different in android roms. Maybe the same in linux?

Very cool seeing this forum getting started. I've had my Tab 3 7.0 for about a month and while I like it having a couple of other Tablets and two smartphones I'd almost forgotten how miserable it is working with a non-rooted device. Almost 90% of my apps require root so at the moment the Tab 3 is just a toy to play a few minor games on, looking forward to seeing this fourum getting rolling with some excellent Devs and great mods.
Thanks to all you guys and gals who do such great work and rarely get thanked or compensated for it. If a dev does some good work for you and you aren't on the donation list then consider what your getting and why you think it should be free. Nothing, including your phones or tablets are free, why should these devs, who bring your device to full functionality, not at least be worthy of a few dollars donation???
Geez, I sure got up on my soap box today, guess I'm just so grateful to see the beginnings of a journey into great work on the Tab 3 I just wanted to remind folks that our Devs work hard and they deserve a few tangible thank you's. Sorry about the soap box, just happy to see us getting started!!!!!!!!!

The recovery for the tab3 8.0 using TWRP works and is 100% functional. I have it running and full root on the tab3 8.0
The 8.0 is running 4.2.2 while the 7.0 is running 4.1.2 so besides that the processor is different as the boot and kernel which makes some differences and more all around Dev work.
Triangle Away and any other method to go back to factory and remove custom device status is not available for either device so at the moment if you root you can't go back. Hopefully it is only a matter of time before all tab3's can be fully utilized.
