Will this official unlock allow 4G on custom roms?

Monkeys just flew out of my butt...
interesting that the article states, " Photon Q will be the first device to have support for the unlock tool."
I was under the impression that the Photon Q was being shipped unlocked out of the box based on what tsdeaton said.

Everything I read said it would be unlockable, not unlocked out of the box.

I would hope so if it is an official unlock.

Has anyone tried the verify tool on the Motorola unlock site yet to see if photon is supported?

Looks like photon Q, razr developer edition, xoom (Verizon and wifi). That's it. I am disappoint.

Motorola also decided that all of us overpaid for our products and is shipping us a refund.

On android central they said that (this is about other phones) "moto says that they have to evaluate that on a phone by phone basis, and that they have worked with Sprint to come up with a solution that's favorable to everyone involved." And no it's not unlocked out of the box.

Too much beggin and problems with this phone that is why I am considering going with a Samsung phone.
BY the time ICS (way later sometime this year) gets official and with a locked bootloader what is the point anymore?

Unless you're already stuck with a locked bootloader on 2.3.5, than when official ICS drops for our device, I guarantee that users will be able to flash the official update with a modified unlocked bootloader!
Also, when official ICS does come out, that'll cure ALL out current minor issues with custom ROMs! To be really honest with you tho, the custom Jelly Bean ROMs we have out now in the development section are a TON more stable and usable than the ICS ROMs that we had previously!

EDIT 2: JB is out.
EDIT: apparently this update isn't jelly bean, but a major update nonetheless. It appears to be uninstallable, so don't be surprised.

My internet is kinda slow on wifi and my data is over already. Its at 28%.

While to my limited knowledge, that is too small to be JB, that is still a great size.
I look forward to seeing what is in it.
Yeah, it can't be JB size-wise. I wonder why it is so big though.
I updated my roommate's s3 to jb last night. Wish I paid attention to the size when I did it.

The Korean JB leak was over 1GB..
Nexus is De bloated. Our JB would probably be larger than 300 gb considering all the bloat that will come with it.

Yep. The nexus roms and CM roms are slimmed as much as possible. They are the base roms with no Gapps, no LG stuff.
well, i bought the phone in ATT in USA
and bring to Brazil....
since that i always receive an authentication error
when i search OTA's...i never got any OTA
so, some tip to solve that???
A majority of us live in the states, considering this is a AT&T thread.. Not sure how we're supposed to help you when you took your phone to a different country. Hopefully there's someone though. Good luck!

The only way to do that is wait till lg releases the lgnsp files for it or whoever does that and do it though that program. I could be wrong but idk
there's so annoying...
so i never will have my phone updated???
please need to exist some way to do that!!!!!

It is expected that there will be most probably no jelly bean 4.2 instead direct 4.3 update for our device in approx 1 month:laugh::laugh::laugh:
(have a contact in lg got to know it from there)
There above information may be incorrect so don't get angry if we don't get an update:highfive:
Edit:We are not getting any official jelly bean update!
Rather wrong info - why LG would do that ? It is better for them to sell new phones .

Sorry but "this may or may not happen" with no source doesn't mean anything. We already knew that we may or may not get 4.3.

I agree. We can speculate all we want, doesn't mean anything. Unless we see a list or basically anything that proves it, it's all just speculation.
Sounds like a post just to get attention. I can claim that Hitler told me there'd be an alien invasion on Tuesday, but he MIGHT be wrong.

Hitler man, aren't you reading? lol... just joking... but hopefully we'll get official 4.3. I don't care either way since I think CM and PACman are so much better... currently running PACman 4.3 no probs
Sent from my LG-P768 using xda premium
some fresh news ?
post your email & LG answer here
i think if there is a update, it must 4.2.2 and Optimus L9 don't update above that 4.2.2
Would be sweet if true, but considering LG is going to release L9 II, I find this hard to believe.
LG never updates its devices. I had the P500 and it got 2.3 from 2.2 and then was abandoned. We got 4.1 from 4.0. Most likely we will not get 4.2 or 4.3 officially for this phones considering they're almost 1 year old and it's not a flagship device.
Question....
But do we have hardware strong enough to run 4.3 or upcoming 5.0?
Then Lg must update our phones...

Our hardware is definitely strong enough to run 4.3 (I am currently running it right now, its smoother than stock 4.1.2) and probably 5.0 too.
Sadly, just because our hardware can run something doesn't mean LG is required to update it. I think we have a chance though, they might give us 4.3.

Fine?
To me it doesn't matter so much if we get official 4.3 or not. I would care more about them giving us unlockable bootloader support n stuff.

Edit: if it's too hard to read it basically shows me asking for help, on the lg developer forum, for unlocking bootloader and them saying no help it is unsupported.(for now)

Moto X and Moto G are both going to be supported for years because Motorola is owned by Google now. Therefore, Motorola phones are practically Nexus phones. Even though they don't get updates first, they get them soon after!
Well i just found out CyanogenMod Team coming out with a phone... I want that instead since all i'm gonna do is put a custom rom on a phone anyways..

I'm definitely getting the moto g when it comes to the US in January, can't believe it's only $179. Could probably sell this phone for $100 too, $79 for an unlocked 720p phone with KitKat sounds great.

It's tempting but I saw it's only 3G. I may be making another mistake with the F6, but I prefer LTE. I would love a Galaxy but my dad prefers LG.

Not sure if I can agree. The new camera is way better, the look is nice too and you can buy a version with 32 gb.
