We Are Almost at 1000 signatures!!! - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Come people, please sign the petition, and we might get something.... please!!!
http://www.change.org/petitions/samsung-usa-and-verizon-wireless-unlock-the-bootloader-of-the-verizon-s4-sch-i545#

I hate to be that guy but in the past these petitions have a record of zero success. The main thing that will help is us as consumers using our money to show that we won't support a locked product. I branched out from htc which has always had a way to unlock to Samsung which used to be developer friendly. Not going to make that mistake again.

What 4G phones aren't locked?

I can't take this BS anymore with Motorola and this phone. Does anyone know what phone is the best to switch to that does not have a locked bootloader? I'm going to buy whatever it is outright. Want to switch to 4G before they try to cut off my unlimited data.Thanks guys!

Almost every 4G phone that isn't Motorola made is unlocked...I'd go with the Galaxy Nexus or HTC Rezound. The Galaxy Note might be unlocked but don't quote me on that.

Yeah, that's what I'm finding online. My only concern is I know nothing about HTC but I've heard that the hardware is not as good as moto's. You know anything about that?
Pisses me off! If they would just unlock the damn bootloader this phone would be the ****. ............and if I wasn't trying to grandfather myself into unlimited data 4G.

Nah ...I don't know much about HTC's hardware outside of the One series and the Rezound. The Resound is a tad bulky but rivals the One X screen quality department; that says a **** ton.

Crap! Looking around their forums and it looks like they're being lied to about getting ics too. I may have gotten out of the frying pan and into the fire. At least they say it has a partial unlocked bootloader. Oh, and apparently HTC is totally different from Motorola, now I gotta learn all new lingo and crap (like s-on and s-off, whatever the hell that means). Ugh!
Sent from my MB870 using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
Some, not all of HTC devices have locked bootloader and won't take OTA updates if you unlock it. People usually find a way to reload original (RUU vs. SBF) but all the baggage from the HTC sense stuff is a interference in the kernels and making custom ROMs. Also with HTCs financial woes, they have been pretty bad about updating devices recently, tending much more toward development for the next bright shiny object.
Its not hard with an HTC. Just unlock the boot loader on. HTC Dev, then get S-Off, then flash all you want while it looks a little hard, its VERY simple!
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Certainly easier on HTC than the impossible MOTO. Of course when you do the HTC dev unlock, they inform you that you have voided your warranty, if you care about that, and they do require device specific information to do the unlock.
I think its worth it, but other people may rather have warrenties over control on their device

Or what?
number 1, once you unlock your warranty is void...and they know it
.number 2 what would you do if something, like anything happened, you'd be out more money for full retail, or pay for an ebay"decent" equivalent.
Number 3 run fastboot much?
This phone and Droid 3, & Incredible 2 are basically ****ed.
Or are they?
As far as quality of hardware and product, Motorola has it all over the cheap plastic phones imo...wait till it scratches, wait till ya feel the heat of the battery cause they have no heat expansion in plastic, like an aluminum, kevlar blah blah phone that had a locked boot loader does.
Enjoy your new device, and see ya!

That's what insurance is for and honestly who cares how good the hardware is if i can't do what I want with it. And honestly, people go through phones so fast nowadays that it doesn't matter if it's built to last 100 years

[Q] Rezound Endeavors.

I'm moderately new to the XDA world and I have a few questions that I decided to ask in my own thread, as to follow rules of courtesy: Does anyone know the expected release date of Joelz's latest ROM? I believe it is supposed to be Charmander? Secondly, does anyone know if developers will be able to replicate "Google Now" from Jelly Bean and incorporate it future ROMs (I imagine that it isn't beyond the capabilities of the Rezound)? Finally, will the Rezound be able to realize "Near-Beam" technology to transfer data?
First rule of XDA don't ask for ETA's on ROMs, they get released when they get released and its considered bad etiquette to ask.
Devs are already working on Google Now and again refer to the first rule as to if and when it will be ready.
Near beam needs an NFC chip which the Rezound does not have so no you will not see it here any time soon.
Joelz is on hiatus, so no eta in the near future. Believe me, you will hear about it if/when he returns to developing. I have no answers for your other 2 questions. Enjoy XDA.

Nothing. Just makes me lose more respect if that is possible. All that time he kept telling us to donate rezounds to team bamf and then he goes around and instead of doing so himself, sells the rezound to cushion his own pocket.

I used to be such a crackflasher back in the inc days when development was booming
But now I couldn't care less, I tried the gnex to see if that would bring it back but there's no excitement in that forum. this phone has so much potential, but no one wants to step up to the plate and bring out the beast in this phone
I pretty much just gave up on it.

I would hardly call the nexus a piece of crap phone I honestly wish I never sold it and kept it. And on the second topic I believe he met his quota and when you donate something that doesn't mean you or anybody else has any say in what is done with it. It's a donation which is from the kindness of the hearts of the users. Yes it is expected that they do some work (which he did) but that doesn't mean they have to do anything with it. It's not a loan it's a donation.

You miss my point entirely.
Look at it this way. I ask you to donate to charity XYZ. I keep asking you to donate to them, talk about how awesome they are, etc. You donate and make cut backs toake the donations. The kicker is when it comes time for me to donate what they need, I dont. I use that money for myself and what I want and forget the charity. That'd make you happy right? I talk you into doing it but I won't even think twice about it.
Someone spends the telling us to donate to a certain dev team, but when it comes time for him too, he doesn't.
Two sided.
Had he never asked like crazy for this to happen, honestly wouldn't have cared...

Bootloader Unlock Petition- Please Retweet, sign, and send to LG

Retweet this https://twitter.com/xboxfanj/status/263413673643630593
And send this to all applicable LG support channels
Why are you alienating the development enthusiasts with your Optimus G? It has unparalleled hardware, but the locked bootloader makes it a tough sell for myself and the development enthusiasts at XDA, RootzWiki, and many more sites, and it also makes me unlikely to recommend it to my friends and family who go to me for advice on their technological purchases (and people who go to other development experts around the world). Samsung has unlocked bootloaders. Motorola and HTC have unlockable bootloaders. Now, it's time to step it up, LG and follow suit. I know you don't want me and millions of people like me to buy from your competitors. So fix it!
I really want to buy your Optimus G and have the beautiful design and amazing S4 Pro processor, but if I have to forfeit that to be able to use my phone how I would like, that's a sacrifice I am willing to make.
There are 1,310 people and counting who have signed this petition asking for an unlockable bootloader, so get your act together, LG.
http://www.change.org/petitions/lg-...opportunity-to-unlock-bootloader-in-lg-phones
This could propel you ahead of Samsung, Apple, and HTC, since your hardware at the moment is by far the best, but your software, updates, and developer support are lacking. An unlockable bootloader would end these complaints and make hundreds of thousands of people more likely to buy an Optimus G.
And don't forget to sign this petition: http://www.change.org/petitions/lg-...opportunity-to-unlock-bootloader-in-lg-phones
Together, we can make LG change.
Together, we can make the Optimus G a better phone.
Let's unite and make LG unlock those bootloaders, just as consumers have made HTC and Motorola do the same.
This too: https://twitter.com/xboxfanj/status/263415788218753024
And send that to their other channels as well. The more people that send this, the more likely it is that LG will acquiesce.
Here is the response I got from LG's email:
------Reply to Your Inquiry-------
The bootloader is locked, Jake, at the Carrier's request I'm afraid.
If you are looking for a Developer device, however, then you can look forward to a device that Google should be announcing sometime this week.
So sorry about the inconvenience this has caused, and I hope you have a great day!
That's BS since Sprint, my carrier, doesn't have any locked devices.
I told them that and haven't heard back yet.
Yes! we need this to get in the google search rankings, so android owners (non lg) can even participate. If anyone has some clout with any android news sites, etc, please flex that muscle!!

The minute after it DOES get unlocked, LG gets some of my money. Of course, the Nexus 4 is right around the corner, but I figure buying this model is the better long-term acquisition because of the massive upside.

Locked bootloader eh? That's a deal breaker.
And if they do unlock it eventually they'll probably impose some method of being able to tell it's been unlocked, like my Vivid's "relocked" text if you relock voiding any chance of a warranty claim if it breaks.
Bummer. Really figured this phone might be better than the nexus 4 since it's pretty much identical but has more storage, an sd and lte. If it was unlocked, you could pretty much make it a nexus with no compromises.
Also pretty pathetic it only has 4.03 on it. What's with manufacturers releasing new phones with outdated oses on it?

OTA'd 2.04 unlock bootloader

First I would like to thank all the DEV's for all the great things you have done for many, many phones over the years. Second I see a lot of people getting pissy over the 2.04 FW for the DNA. I updated before getting the unlock.bin, I was a day late and a buck short on finding out I could not unlock the new bootloader, whose fault was that? Mine and mine alone. I bought this phone in the first place because I liked the specs and kinda figured XDA would have it figured out, and you did. I have always appreciated everything XDA has brought to the table for me since hmm since a boatload of phones ago, I did then and do now. Some people here need to be reminded that you guys put in a lot of hours and work for the mods and write ups you bring us on your own free will and most likely are not making a ton of money for doing it.
If you guys are working on it then great and thank you, if you think it's time to move on to a new project and those of us that updated are SOL then I DO NOT hold it against you or take it personally and still thank you for all the great work you have done thus far.
Thanks,
Shane
Yes, I agree totally.
And would only like to make it known that I'd be willing pony up the donation to make it possible for us too. As I would hope many others would also...?
Thanks again.

People need to realize that a lot of these guys have families or are in school and do this for fun. One guy had posted up that he was super sick and wasnt gonna be doing much and people still blew the thread up asking when he was going to work on it again. What these guys do is great and it is leaps and bounds more amazing than the iOS community I came from. (Prior iphone owner).

I'm sure that's EXACTLY how the devs feel. </sarcasm>
While normally I might agree with you, so what, this is just a general forum, and there a still plenty of people who need to realize that these devs are random people just like them. These devs just happen to have some know how and willingly spend (a lot of) their own time working on tweaking things. Then they're nice enough to share that work with the world, often asking for nothing more than sharing their work and credit where it's due.
And I know of a few who are doing that... I understand who your are speaking to and I agree.
I'm just saying it's understandable that they're upset. Me, I traded it knowing I'm gonna have to wait and am trying not to cry about it. It may get cracked or maybe not, still a great phone!

All the info is there. Is your spare DNA upgraded to the 2.04 FW? If no then you do not need to send it away.
If you do this would you keep us updated please. I have a spare phone I could use for awhile if I take that route.

I don't think this is a keep your phone scam. I fix and build PC's on the side and I have strangers give me laptops, desktop, ipods, phones, and other junk all the time to be fixed. And when something needs parts they give me credit card numbers. Maybe they can send you some sort of email contract or receipt or something.
Yeah after wagching the video and reading through twitter a bit, it seems legit. I'm definitely going to send it in if the price makes sense.

Why can't you people just offer advice instead of being negative...however I'm sure you are both developers and created the perfect roms for phones and you just can't resist bashing on noobs.. @cherylbaker, honestly you need to make the decision to do it, and if you do, there are plenty of people that will help you if you run into problems...good luck!

Yah I know.. i just feel like it is "breaking" my phone. I wish Samsung had not done this. I switched from htc to Samsung because their phones were open and now that i am used to touch wiz they go and do this. I have heard less and less about people having problems. BUT I still worry that when I try to resell knox being tripped will be a negative.
I had my own rom on the Note 2 and really would like to start doing that again for my note 3.. But than at the rate things go in Oct I will get a new phone anyway...
Man I do not like the new kitkat keyboard. It does not work like the 4.3 keyboard.
Oh well I had hoped someone would have something to say but I should have known this is xda and all people want to do is be jerks. .

Hold on a second. I personally want you to have an overall positive experience on xda. I think most would concur. I think it's unfortunate that this thread may have yielded something less than that.
Blanket statements like this can detract from even more. Most people here are going to have the approach that rooting and having proper recovery are of the highest importance, and thus the entire Knox question for them is a marginal one at best.
I would buy a Knox tripped device on Swappa for the same price as a Knox free device.
This phone's resale value in correlation with the Knox question can be answered now, irrespective of any opinions you may find here. Just go to Swappa, look at the historical sales, and see if Knox tripped phones have sold for less than Knox free ones. My guess is that the resale value is nearly identical.
All the best.
