So is there an official word on whether the S2 has an unlocked and unencrypted bootloader same as the Galaxy S1?
Search function... there is a thread on this already.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021721
It's not locked.
Someone should sticky this question!
Yup. Definitely should be a sticky - it's the only thing that could make me not get this phone.
(I'm loving Ginger Villain on my Desire too much to get a locked phone)

Hello, ive searched the forums for the T-Mobile GSM Stock rom (1.5) and cant find it. Is there one available? Im selling my HTC Hero (Got the Desire) and want to revert it back to the stock rom so there are no issues with it.

Development?
Thanks a lot. Would it be better to install the HTC Generic 2.73.405.66 Instead of the T-Mobile generic? As you usually have to wait a little longer for the update with T-Mobile/The Provider dont you?
Thanks
MOD EDIT - Moved to Q&A
Can I remind all users to think before creating a new thread.
Is it regarding development? If yes, post in development forum, if not, think were it would be best suited
Is it a question? If yes, put it in Q&A
Is it about themes/apps? Put it in themes/app forum, unless it's a question, then in Q&A
etc etc
If everyone abides by forum rules it will make things easier for everyone!

Root vs unlock bootloader - Really Good Discussion
In a wild search on Google I found this interesting Forum Discussion on ROOT and Unlocked Bootloader.
Noobs like me D) should read it to make some basics clear.

Thanks a lot for reading this post.

I have an Asus Infinity tablet. I rooted as soon as I could, but kept it locked fur a while because of warranty issues. Finally, I bit the bullet and unlocked because I wanted to play with ROM's. I haven't had any problems, and I'll unlock my p769 as soon as available to.

If it is we can figure out a way to unlock p769s boot loader without update although I'm hoping we will get an update soon.
Hi everyone,
I'm a complete noob when it comes to this stuff. Recently, my phone has been running really slow, and I remembered people saying that rooting and flashing custom roms will help increase the efficiency of the phone. I've been looking through tons of threads and countless google searches trying to find a tested and working method for BL unlock and root for a stock MB860 on Android 2.3.6 -- 4.5.145. Yet I haven't found anything. Can I get some suggestions/help? Thanks.
PS - I plan on getting the SGS4, but till I see some actual benchmarks/comparisons between the two chipsets that they phone is shipping with, I'll have to rely on my Atrix 4G. And right now, as I said earlier in the post, it's acting extremely sluggish in every sense of the word.
-Pat

Wow thanks. Everyone posting on there says it's real easy to use. Unfortunately no one has system version 4.5.145 like I do. I'm not sure how important that actually is but I have read that version does matter. But it is nice to see people have used it successfully used it with 2.3.6. I posted on that thread and am waiting for a response. Thanks again.
Hi. I have question about bootloader . I am not 100% sure if i have unlocked bootloader so could somebody can tell me how to do it properly , safely on Galaxy S3 with 4.4.2 android ( with Cyanogenmod 11 ) ?
I was given a answer in my first post that i have unlocked bootloader beacause i have installed the CM11 with their installer . But after trying to find a answer if i have unlocked bootloader on other sites in the mean time of waiting for answer here , i found a lot of contrary info, so i am a little scared to try with bigger mods to my phone ( kernel) . So - how to unlock bootloader on my specs ? or how to check if i have this already ? thanks
if you have a custom rom you have an unlocked bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Bootloader
Bootloader on the S3 is not locked, there are no 'unlocked' versions as it was never locked in the first place. S3 is easy to flash and mod, but also to destroy in the process, backup your efs is the primary concern.
