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

Hey guys, as the title states, is there anyone working on root method for the latest OTA (9/4/12)? I foolishly updated, as always hoping they'd fix the reloading issue, and now I'm stuck on it because I can't seem to find a working root method for this update. If anyone needs a test phone, then I'm up for it, I gotta get this thing working properly already!!
Thanks,
John

I know what you mean, I've also gone through a bunch of different websites, and nothing there, perhaps another phone with a similar OS has a solution that could be worked off of. Heck, I've fiddled around with a few different methods, but the primary issue is not being rooted. I managed to get a part of the clockwork recovery, but even though I had a ROM in the sdcard root, my phone just rebooted, and no change was made, may try a different ROM for the heck of it.
Takes time if it's going to happen. He's a fairly busy person .
Haha yeah, someone spoken of so highly must be extremely busy as a result

He doesn't ignore the " newbs " . Remember we are all newbs at some point or another. He just has a busy schedule. Plus keep in mind he does not own a Shift.

I think I will, even though I just used an external application to do the reboots for me, where tacroot couldn't get the permissions.
It came as a surprise, as most of the stuff I tried failed me.
Hmm maybe this will inspire future devs to just mix and match rooting methods to get root
Nice job even thinking of combining those though

+1 I am like you, I just sent my M8 out today for a Java S-Off. I am thinking that modifying one of the current TWRP recoveries would be quite easy for someone with the skills. It seems almost all variants have a working recovery and since our hardware is mostly the same (minus radios) I would think that one could be modded for us but the question is, WHO can do this? I think I am going to e-mail the TWRP guys and see if we can get a recovery made for us as this device will need one anyways. Let me know if you find anything out? :good:

I need help with choosing which variant of Note 3 do I go for.
I had a terrible experience with Note 2 (i317M) and vowed never
go for anything else but an international version!! But this time
around Note 3 has too many variants to pick from so I'd really
appreciate if one of you guys help me out.
Thank you.

Yes mate. As long as he can put up with his phone showing that it's a n900t and not the n9005. Then yes, yes and thrice yes. Imo it's the best rom out there.
Of course if it's an issue then he simply needs to alter the build.Prop to display the correct model. For me it's of no concern so I never bothered.
So to re cap my phone is an n9005 and that's the rom I use.

You know what that's a really interesting thing you've said there. Everyone else is fine with nfc but mine isn't working. So you could very well be right there.
As for the kernel I prefer to use saber kernel anyway. It's what I've used for a couple years with my note 2 etc. That is the one that is baked into the jedi rom.
Regarding nfc I have a Galaxy gear so had to manually connect which I can live with. Perhaps others couldn't?

That is true but if you are in Canada and you want LTE you should have got the N900W8, where you also have the unique advantage that you can do a lot of stuff without triggering knox and you can also downgrade from 4.4 to 4.3!
But all that is your mistake for not reading around and not posting your QUESTION in Q/A/Help section.

To be honest I'm not so worried about the technical limitations now, experience tells me a lot of these will be resolved over time. And I haven't downgraded to 4.3 now for a while. But I guess time will tell, eh?
Since the update to 4.4 which model wins over all on benchmark tests?
All I know is that the snapdragon 800 model on 4.4 is impossibly fast!
--------------------------------------------
My right hand took a break long enough to write you this message, and you should be grateful for that.
Should just get your local N900W8. You get to flash any ROM + Kernel + CWM without voiding any sort of warranty!
You can't do that on any other device and all you need to do as an extra step is to flash the KitKat fix found everywhere on the Canadian threads.
So its been some months since note 5 came out and i understand it just got rooted and custom kernal, but why is there only 1 rom? I say 1 because i count moar as a custom rom, the other is stock rom with removed bloatware.
Alot of people still holding on to the note 4.
Other devs will be here soon as well... (Ahem @sac23 ahem)
I know what you mean, a debloated ROM would be cool. But so many of the other variants are supported by roms in the regular Note 5 development, kinda sucks no one wants to support CDMA devices
