Q&A: Lets get this bootloader unlocked. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

In an effort to keep the R&D thread for the bootloader unlock thread clean and on point please post here if you feel the need to comment, discuss, vent, chat, etc. about the issue. The other thread should be used for delivery of facts and options for unlocking the bootloader. It will make mining for information much easier if we keep it clean.
Thanks,
DX

Will see, but as it was stated when I posted this same thing, people just don't read. But very good idea. do not post there, post here.

I don't see the point to giving people a place to whine about it all over again. I still believe it will be released for this weekend. I don't know why but that's my hunch. My only issue with this whole things is not that djrbliss didn't release it yet, but that based on his announcement I think all other very talented people backed off trying to achieve the same thing. In the end it won't matter. Once it's out - it's out.
No whining or nagging people. Like I said once before, you are alive and well in a world with plenty of issues. You have a very high end piece of hardware in your hand. Enjoy it, smile, do some soft modding as has been going on, and relax until the unlock is released.

Preparation H will soothe your aching butt. Too many people are butt-hurt over the update not coming to fruition. Its really not funny when it has to be explained.
I'm sure this will just cause another argument resulting in a locked thread.
I think there needs to be a Vibrant Argument forum.

This was more humorous than the OP, maybe photoshop Samsung into the box...
Come on the op went for humor not straight complaining. Laugh don't laugh but it's actually the people who hate threads like this that fill them up. Is it so hard just to go on to the next thread. A person sees so many replies and they think it is of value. The flamers give these threads life. There should only be 1 post if this thread is pointless, 2 if the original post was confusing.

HTC and the Bootloader isssue

So right now were trying to make sure that the future of HTC's phones dont get knocked out because of the encrypted bootloader they are trying to force upon us so im just writing this to you all to make sure that the XDA members know whats going on and I was wondering if you all can help us out, these are the details:
right now i'm sure your aware of what is going on in HTC's facebook page and i wanted to know if you
would read up on what is going on and show that everyone is wanting this to be unlocked.
This first link is the petition that were all signing to show to HTC that we are wanting this:
http://www.groubal.com/htc-bootloaders-and-nand/#signatures
We want more to know about it so i was reaching out to all of you right now.
this second link is the conversation that a member who started this had with a sprint rep on facebook, it shows that sprint is not the one responsible for the locked bootloader and that they are not trying to push for it.
https://www.facebook.com/sprint/posts/156658601067283
This last link is just what xda is thinking of it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094914
we know that they made a statement but we want to make sure that they know that we all want this to be unlocked
So pass this along and let everyone know what is happening! thanks for your help!
guys we really need your help on this, see what you can do
Holy christmas fudgecake batman!!

I was just teasing, trying to get mattykinsx to take the bait. You can also ignore this post-whore who seems to hate xda so much but yet trolls the forums 24/7 looking for people who don't agree with him so he can use bolded words and such.
Sorry to use your thread for this mischievous purpose.
[email protected]
Seriously, though, starting a thread with just a link and no commentary or opening salvo for a discussion is a tad weak. And I believe that, as has already been discussed, the unlock bootloader tool will only work on certain phones, and the EVO 4G is not one of them.
I don't particularly care, since I don't want to register my phone with HTC along with the fact that I've potentially voided my warranty. That can stay between me and my friends at XDA.
Finally, I will be curious to see how this Sense Developer gambit pays off. Are people really going to devote time to developing Sense-specific apps and widgets? I support that some developers worked on apps for the PlayBook too, so anything is possible.
@MaxCarnage
Thanks for the lols. I did think to myself that the post was a bit lacking, but it's not hard to click the link. As you said, however, it's kind of pointless for the EVO4G right now, except maybe the Sense SDK might allow for some nifty things.
I wish HTC would make the source code page easier. Look it up by device or something. A huge list of random source code postings is fine when it's short like it is now, but it's only going to grow. Yea yea... CTRL-F is my friend...

Fight the power.
And they were going to make an s-on already, so I don't see the commotion, or the point in making a thread saying you have the tools but going to be too stingy to share, so bravo, bravo.
So basically you're saying that you can do it, but you're not going to share how? Terrific thread. Thanks for all the great information.

This post has inspired me. I think I may actually try and put together a REAL guide on how to unroot after Revolutionary. But it'll have to wait until tomorrow, since I only have access to my phone right now.
That is, unless someone beats me to it .
In the future, please take other people into consideration when you choose to share what you know, but for "reasons" cannot share. It's just a waste of time and it's childish. "I've got something you don't have...nah, nah...nah...nah...nah...nah"...catch my drift? You were better off adding this as a comment in the Revolutionary exploit thread.
Despite the fail of the OP, S-ON would be nice. I have been having random, intermittent touchscreen hesitation since before root. I was hoping flashing a new ROM/kernel would fix it, but no go. Warrantees FTW!

Like I said, I'll try and put together a guide on how to do it tomorrow. I did already post instructions on a thread somewhere (I think it was one of those "how to unroot my EVO" threads), so if you search, I'm sure you can find it .
EDIT: In fact, here's a post with a working unroot method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17008381
I'll tell you what guys, I'll see if I can convince them to create a "beta" for it. I really planned on sharing but after I posted the thread, I got told to keep it to myself. :|

Yeah, it's a joke. The whole post is ludicrous. He says, those that need it most "the unlockers", lmfao. What a clown. Those that need it most buy a Google version with easy bl unlock and not a Verizon model. Then there is the "I may have a way" because he has a "special way". If JCase releases anything then you can take it to the bank. Otherwise forget it.
Funny cause in the comments he said he was gonna make an XDA post last night haha
I know trolls are everywhere but it reminds me of some of the post we used to see in the Verizon Galaxy S4 forums. Unless you are on MDK that bootloader still is not unlocked
