What does this mean for root and unlockable BL possibilities?

That's amazing let's hope a miracle can be performed with the bootloader.... If not the kernel source is useless for the most part, yes I know we have safestap and loki potentially

This seems like great news from developers always replying to user requests, "whenever %said_carrier% releases their source code.."

Huzzah! Where'd that come from?
EDIT: Oops, nevermind! HTC it seems. So odd, they release the source code to their kernel, but continue to develop new methods to lock their devices. Strange bunch of cookies over there at HTC.

What is so odd about that? The GPL has required that they release the source code, it's been a long time coming. That honestly has nothing to do with them continuing to lock their devices, which actually is a liability concern for them.

I've been harrasing the HTC legal team for about 3 weeks now for it. I would like to think some of the reason was me... however... it is probably just coincidence.

I would say it helped and even if it didnt....thanks for doing it!!!! I am so tired of them releasing things for other phones and leaving the slide out. They released the kernel source for several phones yesterday and left the slide out. I actually planned on trying to e-mail them today but they pulled a fast one and released the source late last night or early this morning.
Woooooo ! That is all.

A lot of at&t atrixs users are reciving an email from motorola for a soak test.
Maybe this is a good news for all of us. OR a big scam...we will see.

I can confirm I received an email from "[email protected] via surveymonkey.com" about participating in the test. If it is a scam they now have my IMEI and probably marked me for death by an elite zombie alien task force. So I am hoping it is for real
It's most likely just a GB update. I wouldn't get hopes up for ICS or JB. I'm interested to see what it will do (if anything) for the bootloaders.

Yeah it doesnt hurt.. BUT. After 9 months of ICS update promises, only to get slapped in the face. With a public statement of only releasing maintenance updates.. I don't know how much there is to hope for. Because if they release ICS or JB to the Atrix, they'll have to do it for the Photon and Electrify as well.

LG releases Source Codes for the International G2. Hope it will help the devs.
Here is the link: https://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensourceList?types=ALL&search=G2
Any developer that's needs this will already know where to find it. This shouldn't be in development.

And now we all know about it without having to hunt it down or without getting confused, or having people assume we know. :good:
I'm surprised that LG has released it, coming from Motorola Atrix territory. They didn't release jack, so I am hopeful of better support.
I might confused, is it only the kernel source?
I understood sources are pretty good that a rom kan be kanged directly from it, is that correct?

There is no source code listed for Verizon & AT&T note 3 due to the locked bootloaders.
In theory the T-Mobile version should work on a Developer Edition eventually, yes?

Yes. Probably best to flash the Sprint one though
Having a dev edition with no development is worse than a locked boot loader.
I'm wondering if this might help us get AOSP ROMs working on the standard Verizon Note 3 perhaps?

Hi! I found this now on reddit, there is LG G2 on the list, can we use it?!
It's the documentation by @djrbliss (Dan Rosenberg, XDA Recognized Developer)
http://imgur.com/TXKDpOI
Reddit link:
http://pl.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2csyiq/looks_like_many_android_phones_are_getting_a/
Please check it guys, but if it's not useful, then sorry.
@dorimanx @dr87 @savoca @Cloudyfa @OptimusRs @RenderBroken @Amperific @JackpotClavin (just wanted to show it to someone who is experienced and who would have a while, it's not like i just mentioned everyone here)
EDIT: https://www.blackhat.com/us-14/briefings.html#reflections-on-trusting-trustzone
The talk will conclude with a discussion of the ramifications of this vulnerability and others like it, including a live demonstration of using it to permanently unlock the bootloader of a major Android phone.

Dan performed a permanent boot loader unlock of the Moto X live. We shall see how this pans out to other devices in the coming weeks.

Dan Rosenberg will be giving a demo in couple of hours demonstrating how to permanently unlock the boot loader of a major phone. So a boot loader unlock. No spoofing, although the arbitrary code execution could lead to many possibilities.

Well, seems like the G2 may be a hot phone for developers soon The phone still has the beast specs, so.
Btw, I read that S5 and M8 are patched, as we know they have Snap801, so this exploit is hardware related? If yes, then LG couldn't even relock it, i suppose, lol
Thanks @reas0n for sharing this with us. The imgur link you shared, i compared it first with the loki script but it didnt contained anythin about qsee i thought and no similair lines. If @dr87 has the way to permanently unlock the gs4 then it would be also maybe possible for the g2 like said in the imgur link you gave. Seems trustable that link. But i bet dr87 is having now some kind of top secret area 51 project to unlock the lg bootloader.
Thanks again reas0n continue your search you`re doing great.
I could also be wrong and it maybe contained in the loki script but i didnt saw it since i`m watching from my tab now.
Thanks, I want to do as much as I can for the G2 community.
Edited the thread, lol, it would be epic if he used our lovely G2 as unlocking example We just have to wait now.
I saw now that he will present at blackhat so pretty big. First i came on an website from azimuth security about galaxy s4 loki etc i just found out on that link from you that dr87 works/ is part of azimuth security so i bet he will bypass and unlock it
The security doctor will fix ill locked devices.
Maybe the device wil get unlocked before lg provides an official unlock method. Is it about me or is LG doing the same as samsung? Same with bootloader, roundicons in notification bar etc, i wonder how LG will become.
Update:
Dan performed a permanent boot loader unlock of the Moto X live. We shall see how this pans out to other devices in the coming weeks.
