Stop trying to steal other ppl's thunder by making a new thread of stuff that already exists on dev section dude...
If you want to help just add the link on the already long thread. Making another thread is useless
This is confusing... Why are u posting it here where u stole it from
how many people have tested this method?
I unlocked my bootloader with the test point method. Just works, unlocked and all working, track id also
mine is a st15i now, before unlock and change the things st15a

Thanks a lot for reading this post.

general knowledge thread on xda
I have an Asus Infinity tablet. I rooted as soon as I could, but kept it locked fur a while because of warranty issues. Finally, I bit the bullet and unlocked because I wanted to play with ROM's. I haven't had any problems, and I'll unlock my p769 as soon as available to.

If it is we can figure out a way to unlock p769s boot loader without update although I'm hoping we will get an update soon.
Hi. I have question about bootloader . I am not 100% sure if i have unlocked bootloader so could somebody can tell me how to do it properly , safely on Galaxy S3 with 4.4.2 android ( with Cyanogenmod 11 ) ?
I was given a answer in my first post that i have unlocked bootloader beacause i have installed the CM11 with their installer . But after trying to find a answer if i have unlocked bootloader on other sites in the mean time of waiting for answer here , i found a lot of contrary info, so i am a little scared to try with bigger mods to my phone ( kernel) . So - how to unlock bootloader on my specs ? or how to check if i have this already ? thanks
if you have a custom rom you have an unlocked bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Bootloader
Bootloader on the S3 is not locked, there are no 'unlocked' versions as it was never locked in the first place. S3 is easy to flash and mod, but also to destroy in the process, backup your efs is the primary concern.
Mod Edit
As per the XDA RULES # 5
Please post only once on the same subject.
Use your original thread to continue this.
Thank you

I have read several thread that rooting without unlocking bootloader will void the bootloader. I'm planning to use king root or sth like that until my warranty ends before I flash recovery. It's a Sony Xperia z5 premium dual btw
you may wanna check the thread for the z5 and ask questions there. for sure a lot could answer your question for your device
Thanks reyscott

If you're asking whether the bootloader can be automatically or inadvertently locked, the answer is no.
Unlocking and locking the bootloader are intended to be deliberate acts requiring specific commands. Once your bootloader is unlocked, the only way you can lock it is by using fastboot commands, the same way you unlocked it.
Keep in mind that if the software on your device is not absolutely 100% genuine OEM, locking the bootloader will most likely render the device unusable.

depending on your device, you do not need unlock service, use hardware testpoint (requires dissassembly the phone)
the software you can use is potatonv
