[WIP] Note Series Developer Edition Conversion (VZW ONLY)

All,

Due to the recent accidental leak of Samsung eMMC vendor commands allowing write to protected eMMC areas, we are now able to write CID values on production devices.

Beaups has written an awesome tool called 'SamsungCID' (found here: http://ift.tt/25rnIqv). This makes the process all teh simpler!

I have built this tool from his source, and used it on a multitude of devices that use a Samsung eMMC. It works without flaw on the Moto G (Second Generation), Galaxy S5 (VZW/ATT, though, ATT doesn't have a Developer Edition that I am aware of), and many, many others.

How does this apply to you?

The Note Edge uses a Samsung eMMC (I believe, no teardown I can find definitively says so), and has a Developer Edition. This means that it is (most likely) vulnerable to this exploit.


How can I help this progress?

I need a few thing to make this work:

- A few testers with Production devices, and root (temp-root should work fine) -- I will contact these people individually, do not ask here to test.

- One person with a Developer Edition that has root (need an aboot dump, and them to run one command).


If any of you know of someone with a Developer Edition, please get them in contact with me. I can be reached on Hangouts, or on Telegram (@npjohnson).

PLEASE do not post your CID publicly.
