So this what you all have been waiting for, earlier today djrbliss ported Loki to the G2, For those that are unaware djrbliss is the man responsible for Loki on various devices such as the GS4, OG Pro, etc.
Loki is a tool for developers that allows them to prepare custom recovery images and kernels suitable for flashing on these devices, which have locked bootloaders. It is not a bootloader unlock!! The rest of the Freegee Dev Team is still hard at work at releasing a working unlock method. The more exploits the better for everyone.
Also Dees_Troy built a working TWRP for our devices, the Dev threads should be up soon. Look for them
A very special thanks to djrbliss for Loki, Dees_Troy for TWRP, and the rest of the LG Freegee dev team on IRC. who constantly strive to make our devices that much more enjoyable to use.
to donate to bliss for making this possible Donate to djrbliss:

Wow.
In all seriousness, if this phone gets bootloader unlock this quick, I will likely purchase this phone immediately. Hell, is there a bounty going on for bootloader unlock? I don't even have this phone yet and I would contribute some beers.

I am looking to bring my GS3 BoneStockROM to the Galaxy S4. I don't own the device so I am looking for some willing testers.
I would like to eventually sell my SG3 and get a SG4 but currently don't have the money.
If you are willing to test please post or PM me.
I want to try and bring over a few features that I ported such as Blocking Mode and Call/Message Block that we should have but Verizon decided to take away.
I have them both fully working and ported to their rightful Verizon applications for the SG3, and would like to try and possibly get them working on this phone as well.
It's very cumbersome building a ROM/MOD/theme/etc. for a device you don't own, as things can't get done nearly as fast, and sometimes not at all. Having some willing to test, we can ideally link up on Gtalk to help move things along.
Thank you for your time.

So i decided to ask LG if we actually do have an unlocked BootLoader and if we did how were we supposed to unlock it and this is what they responded me with....
Dear Carlos,
Thank you for contacting LG Electronics.
Unfortunately in USA models boot loader cannot be unlocked as a carrier request. USA models, even though they look similar to the international modes, have carrier specifications on their software. Due to their request that’s why we are not able to unlock it.
Once again thank you for contacting LG. In case you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again either via email, or by calling our customer service division at your convenience. Have a wonderful day.

That's true, kuma.. Personally I read for a couple of weeks, over and over all that was needed and how to recover from mistakes.. It helped so much reading all the posts, what works, what doesn't. I'm very greatful to everyone that went before, and the crazy devs for pushing the envelope and figuring things out.
The current unlocking process may be complicated, but it works, if you take time to read(and read again).

I want to unlock SO BADLY but I get stuck after I flash, I don't know what to do ahaha xD
The current unlock method for TMO P769 is so convoluted and it seems rather risky... Risky and destructive enough, I will probably not bother. How likely do you think a decent/proper unlock method will be found before the end of the year? I really dislike the stock UI and limited theming options/etc, came from PACMan on my previous phone and this is rather disappointing for a phone with such solid hardware.
Its looking pretty unlikely and I think I might just sell this phone and go back to Samsung where they tell the carrier where to shove it when they ask for a locked bootloader. Shame on LG for complying with this... Sure, they aren't Apple or Samsung but I think they could have pulled it off. At the very least they could have snuck some hidden method like HTC with the wire trick for S-OFF into the US version.

I don't think he was ripping anyone saying he's "owed anything". Just exhibiting frustration on a locked bootloader. I too had hoped Sammy would not have gone this route, and more development would continue. Those of us on VZW should come to expect this now, as they are nazis with the bootloader. Bootloader unlock is not a selling point for me, but it does make it more fun.

I will keep waiting patiently for someone to find an exploit, but in the meantime just shut up and enjoy what options we're even lucky enough to have.

*UPDATE 9/25*
Ok guys, sbreen94 spent some of his precious time and blindly built a ROM for the AT&T G2 in hopes to give you guys a taste of what would be to come. We had some trouble getting it to boot, so he is going to stop for now since he has other development projects that he can spend his time on.
The only true way for him to work his magic would be to get a device into his hands. As of now we only have CleanROM. That's great for a stock, debloated experience and it definitely serves a purpose. But if you want an experience with a tons more customization, then Hyperdrive will be a great addition to our dev community.
I have added some pics to the OP of the tweaks and customizations from his S4 that you could eventually expect here.
Please let me know if you are interested and how much you would like to donate! :thumbup:
*UPDATE*
With the recent developments today of obtaining Loki and TWRP, we are a full go for ROM development and flashing. Hopefully this bounty catches steam because Scott would be the perfect dev to get us our first super tweaked and customized ROM. Let's do this! :thumbup:
-----------------------------------------
Hey guys, I promised my good buddy Scott (sbreen94), the dev from the infamous Hyperdrive series of ROM's that I would make a bounty thread for him to try and get a G2 in his hands. For those of you not familiar with him, here is his XDA profile link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4600715
I will quickly start off about why I am doing this. Before I moved to AT&T about two months ago, I was on Verizon and had a S4. The phone was a lagfest and sbreen94's ROM, Hyperdrive, was the only ROM that eliminated the lag on the S4. Between launcher tweaks, build.prop tweaks, etc, he was able to make that phone fly. Not only that, he adds a crazy amount of customization options. His ROM was absolutely second to none on the Verizon S4. I will 100% vouch for the quality of his ROM's and I think he would be an enormous asset to the G2 community. He is a great guy and is always willing to help. When I came to AT&T, I had a S4 for the first two months before I got my G2 last week. Scott and I were testing his ROM to try and port it to AT&T. He spent countless hours sending me test ROM's and AT&T packs. We were super close right before I got the G2.
My goal is to get an AT&T G2 in his hands and I am asking for support here in this thread. I am looking to raise $600 for Scott to get his awesome ROM on this device. And look, I totally understand that the bootloader is in question, as well as custom recovery. I am obviously asking for no money up front and if custom ROM's don't look very promising, then you can definitely go back on your pledge. All I ask is that if you are interested, please make a pledge in this thread and I will keep the tally. If and when we reach $600, you guys can send your pledge to Scott via his PayPal ([email protected]). I am in for the first $50, but I will definitely go up from there if there is a lot of interest and we get close enough to the $600.
To look at examples of his excellent work, here are links to 3 of his ROM's:

Someone with more knowledge about that and is closer to those individuals would have to start one. Let's keep this thread for a bounty for sbreen94 please.

Let me chime in real quick. I am very familiar with sbreens hyperdrive ROM. I've had it on my gs3 and my fiances note 10.1. It has all the customizations anyone can ask for and it is incredibly smooth so... When I get paid I will pledge because other than the M.O.A.R ROM hyperdrive is thee most customizable rom you can get and I can understand why this bounty is brought about. Look this guy up he is an elite developer. Yes he is one of the top 5 developers in the past year. Look him up. Good idea OP
Will he be porting this over to VZN G2?
Well frankly speaking, I develop ROM for lg devices only & i'm quiet familiar with their frameworks..
I dont mind making a few for the G2
As well. But first we need to get the BL unlocked.
Consider me in for Custom ROMs as well, though I don't have this device.

Step 1, unlock bootloader step 2, get this guy a G2. If he has a G2 now it is useless until the unlock

I agree, but I wanted to start this thread now to get backers in anticipation for either a bootloader unlock or an exploit so we can start flashing roms.
Please make your pledges guys if you're interested. Like I said in the op, you aren't tied to your pledges if flashing custom roms won't be possible for any reason.
Thanks!

I'm saving up for a g2 (will get it probably this weekend) but I will probably donate like 20-30 dollars

I don't think there'll be an issue as far as getting the bootloader unlocked. the lgog had some awesome devs and this is pretty much the lgog 2..just give it a few weeks and we should be good

With a locked bootloader I dont see the purpose of this bounty yet lol.

We don't need the bootloader unlocked to flash a custom rom. For all we know an exploit could be released today, and at least we would be ahead of the curve by taking pledges for donations. :thumbup:

All the devs I messaged will not accept a rom development donation at all until the BL is exploited/unlocked, they will however take all the help they can get to buy the device though
Edit: OP I just noticed the title of this thread is for the AT&T model, that might hinder funding here. Correct me if im wrong but doesnt Hyperdrive span across all carriers in the aroma installer? Maybe the title should be changed for all carriers? just a thought
Does it need to have an unlocked bootloader since there's a custom twrp now?
What would be better about having an unlocked bootloader?

Nope, don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash roms, that is what Loki is gonna allow us to do. We are a total green light for flashing roms!
Let's get this man the phone! I promise you won't be disappointed. :thumbup:
