Starting today, it is illegal to unlock a subsidized phone - AT&T LG Optimus G

http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/no...wthread.php?t=151409203&p=1016100433&posted=1

Aren't the service providers obligated to give you the unlock code after like 30 days or so by law? They try not to give it to you and talk you out of it but aren't they required to give it to you if you ask? I assume that would fall under this clause
You can read the full docket here but, in short, it is illegal to unlock a phone from a carrier unless you have that carrier's permission to do so. If you're wondering what this has to do with copyright, it turns out not much.

So am I misunderstanding this completely? I've never actually unlocked a phone so this is all pretty much new to me
Also, I can't help but notice where you got this link from? You a miscer brah?

It really isn't a big deal. It's to stop people from signing a contract then leaving the company with out finishing up the contract or paying termination fees.
If anything it may be a good thing if it helps create a bigger market for legally unlocked devices like the N4.

I haven't posted on misc in a long time. I generally stick to the Sports section. Although in the past year, I've very rarely even been on there.
Used to post on misc religiously back when Jay Cutler was killing it in Mr. Olympia and I was loading up on my celltech

Lol all I go into now is S&T and Sports

I honestly don't see how they are ever going to know who unlocks their phones. Just saying it's illegal is not a deterrent. It needs to be enforced.

[Q]Soft Bricked

I soft bricked my droid razr by restoring a back up session and then it wouldnt get passed the "M" motorola logo. Any suggestions on what I should say if i take it to verizon to try to get it replaced since i preordered it. Also is there any way to fix it with back up files? Thanks for your help cause this sucks major nuts
I went to them and said that battery died , i plugged it in and went to sleep, when i got up the screen was like that. they took 1.5 hours trying to "fix" it but then did give me new phone
It's exactly what you should do when you brick an unrecoverable phone...
Anyway, this is the wrong section!

And that's why companies have crap warranties. Because people like you keep taking advantage of them when,after breaking their phones because they have no idea WTF they're doing, they even don't have the balls to take responsibility for their mistakes and try to pass it off as someone else's fault.

Whatever dude, if the companies weren't such assholes and lock the bootloader i would have had to do it.
Lol, it's always someone else's fault, right? The big bad motorola must kicked down your door and made you buy their phone at gunpoint. Did they touch you in your naughty parts too?
Wow guys, relax. Hopefully a lesson has been learned: it's not safe to dink around right now w/o an sbf file.

Motorola left the bootloader unlocked but Verizon locked it. Stop being dumb on the internet because you can.
I'm still waiting for the kinks to be ironed out before I root

You guys don't realize how much a company makes off of you and furthermore how a company cares about you at all if that. The guys that keep doing the "right" thing go ahead and keep living life doing the "right" thing. Your are then 100X more likely to get ****ed and then they'll make more money off you good for them. Do you ever think about how they outsource all the US jobs to foreign countries for cheap labor and then sell to us 1000% more then what it cost them. So you must think that's right? Whatever I'm going to **** the big companies every chance I get and trust me it won't affect them.

Hiding water damage for warranty - bleach?

I was planning on bring my SGS2 to the repair center, since its been giving me so much trouble lately, unfortunatley i dropped it in water before i could get there
As far as i can see there are 2 water indicators on the phone - on the phone itself to the right of the battery, and also one on the battery.
I actually used a Q-tip and bleach and both are no longer red, but are there any more anywhere else on the phone? And are there any other ways they will be able to tell it has water damage?
Are you really asking the forum for help in scamming AT&T for you? Take responsibility for yourself.

O god forbid someone scam ATT!!!!!!:crying: We should all be so careful to treat this honest and ethical company with nothing but respect. They get what they give after all.
Ive been paying for insurance for 2 or 3 years now, have never made a claim, and they raise the deductible for a claim to 200 dollars? Screw you ATT. The phone was faulty before it got water in it. Im saving someone else the trouble of getting this device refurbed, because you know ATT would just repackage this phone and give it to some poor SOB.
Whether AT&T is an evil company or not is not the issue. This is not the forum to be asking for help to scam them or anyone else.

hmmmm so im guessing you have a problem with the threads entitled: how to put your phone back to stock for warranty replacement. You clearly voided the warranty when you rooted your phone, so by flashing back, you are scamming samsung and ATT.

Hey genius, it's only a scam if by flashing a ROM you mess the phone up and then try to get AT$T to replace it. What you are trying to do is get AT$T to pay for your clumsiness. Fine, go right ahead and try, but trying to enlist people in here to be your accomplice in that scam is against the forum rules. This thread is destined to be closed.
Don't even try it. They check more than the indicators. The check corrosion on solder points etc......... they will know.

I dont know, I doubt they will even bother to check anything besides the obvious. They make so much money on these phones, the amount it would cost to pay someone to analyze what happened to a phone wouldnt pay off.
You don't deserve help. Scamming is not supported here, a mod will most likely shut this down...so inb4lock?

There is a distinct and significant difference between returning software to stock to enable a user to return the phone for hardware defects that were not caused by the user (failed usb ports, power buttons, etc.) and trying to return a device that was physically damaged by careless use/abuse. The reason deductibles go up is because of this type of behavior.

like i said the phone was failing before it got water damaged. Disagree with you on the second reason. the deductible went up because of ATT's greed. I can outright buy this phone off contract for not much more than their deductible, plus what i pay every month - it doesnt make any sense.

Any news on Root?

I see other carriers have been able to gain root access. I am wondering if anyone is working in a root?? Would love to donate for a root + wifi tether abilty (heck, even just root). Maybe us Sprint users can get a "bounty" going. I cant be the only one wanting root access and to able to take advantage of thesr amazing Spark speeds.
From what I know the reason sprint doesn't have root with the others is because it was given an update the other carriers never implanted.

LG won't be unlocking the bootloader anytime soon. Go read the thread in the main G3 forum for the discussion.
MY understanding is that the reason the LS990 doesn't take the same root exploit as the other variants is that the directory structure is different so the vulnerability doesn't exist as it does on the others. Whether that is due to an update (that must have happened at manufacture as it was different on launch day) I can't say. And there may be other reasons, but that is the one I know about.
There is at least one method that is pending release, but the most optimistic date we have is mid-August, and my guess is even later owing to some bad eggs stirring the pot.
The answer to this question, every time somebody starts a thread like this, is WE DON'T KNOW when we'll get root, but we PROBABLY will and all we can do is WAIT. It's not for lack of interest that we're stuck waiting, so pounding on the door won't get it open any sooner.
Final thought: This forum will explode with threads all saying the same thing when a method is released, so you won't miss it.

There is more to the work of releasing a root then being stingy. If people like you keep trying to turn it around like you are entitled to the work of others, it will only keep you waiting longer. So Stop it!
There are a ton of reasons not to release it even if Root is possible, the actual process of Rooting the device may be a technical process that 90% of users would screw up and end up blaming the creator for.

First, I don't think I am entitled to anything. I am just making it known that it is available and has been confirmed available, but someone is holding out. Nowhere did I say something like "give it to me now or else" or anything of the sort. I was just making it known and yes, I am waiting patiently like everyone else.

I didn't find him, somebody else posted about him, I just contacted him to get info. Honestly, I wouldn't pay 50 bucks even if I was local to him, I don't have that kind of money to spend on something like that, but he seemed genuine in his goals and his reasoning.
Anyway, the point is, let's not get at each other about being patient or acting entitled or whatever. We're all in the same boat. We're all waiting patiently (or impatiently, but it makes no difference). We can't sweet talk the devs who have the means and the knowledge, and we certainly can't manipulate or intimidate them into moving any more quickly than they wish. Heck, jcase is in Vegas with his family and was laid up with a fever and a sore throat to boot, and he's still been working (on other devices, but still). He's not just sitting at his desk reading these threads with his fingers tented and an evil grin. It's just not at the top of anybody's to-do list. We just have to trust that it's moving up every day.

Perhaps do a bit of reading/searching before you post. If you had done so you would have found a couple different threads regarding LG no longer unlocking bootloaders as well as info about the progress of the developers working on unlocking/exploiting it.

LG G3 bootloader was an inside job!
When I was awaiting the unlock of the Galaxy S3 bootloader, the devs working on it had a thread they use to collaborate with each other on information about the bootloader. I couldn't tell you who is working on the G3 bootloader unlock.
I'm all for a good conspiracy, but this one is pushing it.
Its a forum. Especially since xda doesn't have one labeled "funny bone then "genearal"....here we are. Good joke comments to all posters with that lighter side. Not much talk about boot loader except cash to the guy when it comes out. Sorry I have not signed up as a donor to bootcrack but that doesn't mean I won't send one. Now as far as a conspiracy....chalk it up to a sketchy sense of humor. What I was attempting to do was stir the pot for a "on my way to the game" fix.... Oh look its lokie!

Regardless of if you think they are working on it or not, creating this thread is incredibly disrespectful to the people who are working on it. What exactly do they stand to gain by lieing to us? A lot less then if they were to unlock it.
Maybe next time you should WAIT to buy the phone until they do unlock it. ESPECIALLY if you have Verizon, cause with them, there is no guarantee. Hence the reason I'm sending this from an s4 and not a G3.

The liars were the "LG corporate devs" who announced an unlocker. Not our forum devs. I've always had respect for all and even more for the devs. I feel my post was not nor was it intended to be disrespectful to devs. I had read that they had lokie as an alternative incase they couldn't unlock. Throw us something to play with for the time being was all I said and am still saying. Yours and a few others are just a misinterpretation of my views and intentions. Sorry your mad. I'm also mad I'm going through chemo. And I have nothing to do but sit in this hospital chair playing with my locked phone that the fund raiser donated to me that I did not choose myself. Sorry for the inconvience.
i can see op's point. nothing has been proved that they are working or close to anything on g3. we saw a twrp photo of a g3 (supposedly verizon g3) but honestly i am concerned the g3 wont see safestrap/loki/recovery etc i have lost all faith

I have BLA-L09, European single sim, with yours have you been able to get VoLTE? I might rebrand to gain this feature as I missed it with the U11+.
And I'll ask a follow up question, would you take this over a Pixel 2 XL?

I imagine all phones are stalking us. Huawei has the current spying rep against it but again, all do this, just to what degrees.

A rep is something you have earned. Huawei hasn't earned anything as that's unfounded; how convenient! When you factor in Huawei's current might and abilities in contrast to the US counterparts (and I'm not talking Apple (because, as we all know, Samsung is Korean, but I'm thinking more like Qualcomm, at&t, etc (each in its respective covered fields)

Yes, they're all doing it, and it's not gonna go away, but i don't see Huawei losing battle after antitrust violation battle in EU, of course, because Stateside, they're each other's buddies (u.s. government and Google)...
Now that would make concrete evidence against Huawei, too bad THEY DON'T HAVE ANY

All fair points, I'm now wondering if it's worth paying to rebrand to the US Mate 10 Pro to gain VoLTE. Hmmmm....
