Was the one x unlockable on at&t? Nope... I imagine they will continue this trend. I mean... Why not.

I think it's true... considering that HTC themselves said so...

If it is would it be a big deal? I don't know how HTC phones work really, I've modded a evo once but that's it. I've been a Sammy user for 3 years.

Yup... Means no custom roms until someone finds an exploit.

That sucks. How long did it take for the one x? Also how long would it take for the one?

If I remember the AT&T one x had a bootloader unlock in a matter of weeks.

Well... A month the first time. Then they updated the firmware and that took about 5 months to crack... Still can't root the latest update... I'd be willing to bet we'll be waiting a long time. But hey, maybe this device will get popular.

Does this mean anything for the tmo version, or does no mention of it mean that tmo's will be bootloader unlockable?

lol, looks like you guys got the ol' bait and switch

I am hoping I get mine early so I can use HTCDev to unlock it before that gets disabled. I am not optimistic about it though.

It might already be locked out if att is shipping it.

Don't know why people are suprised by this. They locked every htc in recent history and also the Dev version would be completely irrelevant if you could unlock the AT&T version.

I'm surprised because I didn't know that. As a samsung user I don't pay much attention to htc.

Now that the phone has been out for a weekend by AT&T, is there any definitive proof that the AT&T one can still unlock the bootloader via HTC dev post 4/19?
Has anyone attempted it? Or are people receiving retail units with the bootloader locked?

Will these roms work on the sprint gs4?

Will the roms in this forum work woth the U.S. sprint model of the gs4?
Also what is the model name for the sprint gs4 so I know what to look for when looking for compatible roms (I.g. my current tmo note 2 is called T889)?

You'd be better off waiting until there is a Sprint subforum. That forum will have everything that is for the sprint version. I'm not sure what the model number is, I haven't really searched for it.

It will be SPH-L720

Yeah thats what I figured. I assume these roms are for the international version with the eynos octa 5
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

Your correct the international roms wont work on any of the U.S. s4s varients. Qualcomm vs. Exynos roms are incompatable. The qualcomm version already has development started.

KitKat Roms for Verizon Variant?

I'm not asking for an ETA, but does anyone know if developers are working on a KitKat ROM for the Verizon G2? I'm looking at the Moto X because 4.4 is already confirmed, but if the G2 gets a KitKat ROM, I might have to rethink my decision.

Lol. Yeah, I've counted a grand total of 1 ROM made for the (non Dev Edition) Verizon X.
Sent from my GT-N5110 using XDA Premium HD app

Development has been at a stand still since 4.4 was announced and thats a good thing, it means 4.4 roms are on the way for the G2. This always happens when there is a new version of android on the way and the fact that we have seen very little activity lately is a positive sign :good:

It was accidentally leaked by a French telecom that 4.4 would rollout Nov-Dec. LG denied it and it was removed from the telecom's upgrade list. Currently, LG is taking a stance that there is no date yet.

What up with carriers locking bootloaders?

Are us At&t custom ROM users going to have to move on to greener pastures with this Knox bs or will someone unlock the s4, note 3, and s5 (when it comes out) bootloaders at some point? Just curious if anyone has any insight on this, cause if we can't unlock it I'm definitely moving on to another carrier, personally. Or at least I'll buy international unlocked or Google editions in the future. Thanks and f at&t and Knox!

Bootloader being locked has nothing to do with KNOX. And AT&T has already released an official statement a while back that said they plan on locking ALL carrier branded phones in the future.

I understand that they are locked. Now can you actually answer my question on whether or not someone will figure out how to unlock it?

How would someone know that? There have been Bounty threads out for awhile and no luck. If they are still active you can follow them--

They lock them to keep people from hard bricking their devices. If it stinks...buy a Nexus or GPE device

I think we have to wait a while till the s4 becomes old news. Then att will care less about it and there will be less updates and more time for someone to find a crack or leak for the bootloader unlock and the carriers will care less

I think I'll just be done with at&t then probably. It's too bad that companies won't allow you to do whatever you want with YOUR phone. That's why I never got an iPhone! I actually don't mind running stock TW but I don't want to be stuck with it forever. Thanks everyone!

Sad part is until it's paid off it not really your phone. Since they have a warranty for a year to cover issues it only makes sense. Now if they would provide an unlock after that warranty is up and the contract is settled then it would make sense.

Att will never have a unlocked device again, watch and see.....

And these are the reasons I'm going to be moving over to T-Mobile or nexus devices. Just tired of AT&T all together.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

Another view:
I will stay with ATT as Verizon is too expensive and TMO in my area has sh**ty reception. ATT has been perfect for me in that area.
Also, I have been a heavy flasher for almost 4 years. The phones now are powerful enough that flashing roms is not that important to me as it once was. If I can get root with Xposed/Gravity Box/3Minit I am good. Plus there are fairly good backup apps now that Nandroiding isn't that critical.
I don't see much more coming my way, after this year, in improvements I am interested in. Something like a Note4 or S5 would be as far as I care to go.
All IMHO of course
:good:

I thought that I read somewhere on a T-Mobile thread that the latest update locked the bootloader on the S4. Was that incorrect?

I'd go to the note 3 if I swapped to T-Mobile. I'm honestly tired of the s4 and the features don't wow me anymore plus the note 3 would be better in spec wise as well.

The i337 bl was always locked but the loki-doki exploit bypassed sig check and allowed us to flash recoveries and kernels. With mf3 they closed that loophole by "blowing the Q-Fuse", whatever that is. Googled it but forgot what I read.
And now you are limited to flashing mostly TW roms <4.4. No custom recoveries/kernels.

I'm not talking about a I337 from AT&T. I was talking about a T-Mobile M919 or do they use the exact same firmware?

Verizon Developer Edition

Hopefully this version comes out, I did see an unlocked model, but that is only for GSM and Sprint.

all i know is VZW is locked so they better offer me the Dev Edition today when the regulars go on sale at 12noon central time. :fingers-crossed:

Just came here to check on this. Is there any info on if there will be a VZW Dev Edition? I assume price is $550 for 32gb version, which is a pretty penny but will be worth it.
Most likely will come out same time as unlocked version right? Sept 25th rumored?

Either no verizon de or a miscommunication.

Well, that's discouraging. I really hope they reconsider that decision.

I hope that information is wrong, total bummer if true.
The only real reason I need an unlocked bootloader is to tether (for free). I have unlimited and I use my hotspot to run my tablet a LOT.
Come'on Verizon!

man hold on..let the roll out start before we jump to conclusion about no VZW Dev edition.. there is no way they wont offer one. they made money this way last time. i bought at the damn 700 dollar range first day offered.

This will be the reason I'm going to leave VZW even though I still have unlimited data. What a crock [emoji35]

I found this though, but it might just be the unlocked version I posted about at the beginning
http://phandroid.com/2014/09/05/bootloader-unlocked-moto-x-2nd-gen-2014/

What did they say about the first generation developers edition when It was first announced? I'm hoping they are just giving Verizon a month or so head start with the standard version before releasing one. The first Google+ thread did mention that it was just "at this time".

I think Justin case unlocked the boot loader on the original X, maybe it will work for this one too

The newest bootloader on the original MX has yet to be broken, but I have saw talk of the firmware before the last update being include on Sunshine that @jcase created. Hopefully he will get a Verizon model when It is released.

Edit-I just realized that info in my post had already been posted

I bet Verizon is avoiding releasing a dev edition this year because they sold way more than they wanted to last year. For Verizon the less people with unlocked phones the better, that's how they see it anyhow.

I'm curious to see if they offer any developer editions from this point forward ... If they do, why single out the X? (unless it really sold that badly and this was a choice made by Motorola, not Verizon)

I'm betting it was a choice made by Motorola. I bought a 2013 Dev edition about 2 weeks ago and it had a build date of January. If I'm getting January stock in August then it did not sale well at all. [emoji20]
