I have recently pre ordered a S3 for Verizon and we have come to find out that Verizon themselves have locked the handsets bootloader. This is a huge shame and is downright sinister.
There are quite a few people working on cracking the bootloader but as of now we have not gotten very far. If ANY of the talented minds that make up the International S3 forums would be willing to help the cause, it would be greatly appreciated.
I will post links as soon as I can to threads as I am using the xda app on my phone. But for now if you would like to help, go to the Verizon galaxy s3 development forum and check out all of the bootloader threads.
There is also a petition being signed to make Verizon unlock the bootloader and free out device.
(will post link soon to petition, it's in the general sub forum for the time being tho)

I hope you get the help you need, after all, device shouldn't matter.. we are a community!
not sure if the petition will be effective, but will fill that one for the sake of our community

Signed, Goodluck.
Closed, try asking in the US SGS3 section rather than this one, these phones are the same in name alone.
I am using a stock rooted ATT GS3 and i wish to overclock the hecl out of it. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I would appreciate it very much.

this is honestly getting ridiculous, if you cannot figure this out, please at least TRY to do some research, and if doesn't make sense, research more, then ask in the Q&A/General forum.. seriously dude.. its stuff like this CONSTANTLY that is making XDA ridiculous.. I don't know how much more I can handle of this stuff.. its every 5 min someone does not read the rules understand the forums where to post, what to ask, how to do a SIMPLE search or even a google search.. :smh: ;-( PLEASE AT LEAST TRY.. please... did you watch the n00b video when you registered or did you just skip it???
edit: and I also wonder if a button similar the thanks button that can be implemented in XDA Forums but instead of "Thanks" a "Please try to search" and if other members hit the "Please try to search" on that particular post a certain number of times (maybe 3 - 5 ppl) then the user is no longer allowed to post in dev forum for 10 days. just a suggestion cause XDA is really going down the pooper lately.. I know I have less than 100 posts and I'm not DEV by any means, and my Join date is just a bit over a year ago (but I at least try all of the above first) so I don't come off as a total ____ maybe I'm overreacting after reading too many of these but maybe not.. you mod's can decide. /rant

I don't understand why people have to insult others when they ask a question. Yes I understand there is a search function,but instead of insulting others and claiming that they're ruining XDA, why can't you just point them to the right direction and not be a elistest prick?
All it takes is 1 person to say read the rules and search instead of OMGWTF use google/search! and oh BTW gtfo because you ruin XDA.

I don't think you spend enough time on here to make that call. Contribute a little bit and then you can add your two cents.

I am closing this thread, because it is a duplicate of another thread already out there.
OP - in the future, please refrain from starting threads with titles like "help required", "software", and "underclocking". Read the forum rules, and understand how to make good posts in the future.

If you wish to have this request noted then post in the New Device Forum Requests thread.
I've also reported you thread identical to this because you're not allowed to make desperate threads saying exactly the same thing.

I understand that, but the same can be said for a lot of devices mentioned in that threads. The end result is the decision of the admins and if they feel the device needs a forum for itself, they'll make one for it. Apart from posting in that thread, there's nothing else we can do to bring it to their attention.

The only thing I can really suggest is to PM a moderator and ask if it would be alright to create a thread dedicated to everything to do with that phone. There's no guarantee they'd say yes, but it's worth a shot.

AndroidNoob69's XDA guide - What TO DO and NOT TO DO here
Hi guys, especially people who have just joined the forum
READ the forum rules or is it TOO LONG??
Having PROBLEMS understanding??
Still UNSURE??
Fear not I am here to teach you what TO DO and NOT TO DO on XDA
TO DO
1. Post in the right forum.
Many people who have questions, may end up posting in 'General' rather than 'Q&A'
This is what the forums are for
General: e.g. Android Upgrading news, rooting updates, and other discussions.
Q&A: Bricked your device? Need advice? Come here and ask!
Development: Rooting Kits, Recoveries, ROMs
Apps & Themes: Mods, Apps, Shares, Ports and Themes
2. Be polite. Provide adequate info when asking a question. Do NOT swear.
3. Search the forum when posting. Do not create duplicate threads when your question is not answered.
Searching before posting is important. It helps XDA to fight spam. When your question is NOT answered, DO NOT create another thread. You can 'bump' your thread once every 24 hours.
4. Spamming port request in a thread that is meant for jb and OP says (JB) Just ONE person kindly ask the OP if he can port for example, ICS. If he says 'no' then, you got to wait for a developer to port it for you.
What NOT TO DO
1. Post Cracks, Free In-App purchasers etc.
If you REALLY want to share cracks, DO NOT SHARE IT ON XDA. It is cheating the community. If I have cracks, I would decide not to announce it to the whole XDA "Hey! I got *fill in with app name* for free! Link: donotclick.com/freeapps/appid-8459"
2. Be racist, insult others etc.
XDA is NOT for racism. I am sure everyone wants to have a good time here relaxing, helping others. You would not like it if you are insulted too, right?
3. TRY NOT to quote the whole OP as it might be spam to others.
Yes, you want the OP to know you replied, but try MENTIONING (like @Pandemic does). If you are using tapatalk and cant remember the user's username. Forget it. Just post a normal reply.
4. Mirror a file when OP says do not mirror my files.
This is a problem when the OP does not have a mirror and the app/mod download link is dead. Kindly tell the OP that its dead. He will solve it. In other words, DI NOT MIRROR without permission.
ADDED BY @Ben36
5. Don't make annoying 'noob' threads
ADDED BY @Pandemic
6: dont post threads with 1 simple question if the answer is already there
7: read before post and if you cant find it, use google
8: dont act as a noob if you can read and dont ask 1000 times the same questions
THIS IS ALL THE BASIC INFORMATION YOU NEED, HAVE FUN
Regards,
AndroidNoob69
footnote: did i miss out something? pm me.

anyway for suggestion if you would mine to take one. put another thing like jargon. since its noob room. so noob question should be in here too.
