Does anyone know if tmo will be following their trend of *not locking* the bootloader on the S5 like the note 3?
I would hope so. Is there any way for me to check?

Ugh.. A person with the answer and I don't know the solution.
at least how volume down + power + home button and go to download mode and see if it's listed there
Ask @Chainfire or @designgears or @Mike1986

I did that a week ago and I still don't know how to tell. I've heard you don't know till it's flashed???
Edit... It did the usual warning about custom software at first/ however so does the Verizon s4 which is locked. I don't know... Guess I'll find out on the 11th
I haven't heard anything about T-Mobile (or Sprint for that matter) locking down the bootloader.. this would be a first
I believe anand from anandtech said all USA versions will be locked. Don't know how he knew but sprint and T-Mobile were mentioned also. Damn shame. Samsung is gonna start bleeding market share. If I can get my hands on HTC M8 and reception is better than my note 3. The note3 is going on swappa and I am getting a gpe M8.

I too would love an answer to this question. Dev support will depend on it, remember how long it took to get a working device tree for the TMO Note 3?

Any one seen any news on Miui roms for S4 Galaxy 3
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I don't remember my source unfortunately, but I was last under the impression that private beta went our last Friday to the testers. However, that could easily be false. Regardless, SOMEONE will bring it to our phone. The One X (AT&T) has it, so it isn't a processor issue. We have CM so it isn't really a software issue either. Just need the developer to deliver and maintain it
Did anyone see a post where anybody could take a CM9 Rom and convert it to MIUI?
Guys at MIUIAndroid are working on MIUI for the US version of GS3.

Hate to go off topic but what is the "flash counter"? I rooted my GS3 a few days ago and although I haven't encountered any problems but I'd hate to find out I did it wrong down the road later

The flash counter is a counter that goes up every time a custom software is flashed to the phone through ODIN (someone correct me if I'm wrong). It can be used by carrier techs to see whether you have rooted your phone and voided your warranty.

Glad to hear MIUI is being worked on! I Cannot wait!!!

It's been mentioned a couple of times already, so it's not really a secret. Lol. You probably know it.

That website is unlock-bootloader.com and I got mine unlocked there. All X8 devices can get unlocked there, because the guy uses SETool2, and my phone is 11W48, so that should totally be a hard brick if I unlocked it using flashtool or any other free method.

Damn! I just can't use stock phones anymore!! The XDA Community moves so fast I thought that by now there would already be a ROM dump (it's been less than a day, I know). I suppose we need a recovery first. The hardware looks good. I know it has a slightly larger battery than the II, but if 3's actual battery life is anywhere near the II on custom ROMs, I'd be a very happy camper. Let the devs begin! :good:
I know me to. It bootloader let's locked again, maybe thinking about either getting a unlocked TMobile version or wait for Canadian unlocked.

There's a good chance the bootloader will be locked, in which case it might be a long time before you see any of those things you want

Dang not the warm and fuzzy I was hoping for. So my ATT is due to be delivered this am. Or I can spend $400.00 more and go buy a T-Mobile. Crap I was hoping for a Root already.
I am hoping for something like Loki for this phone. It is great hardware but has too much crapware installed. Root would be good just to be able to remove some of it.

The fact that carriers lock the bootloader is both futile and absurd. If they consider the big picture, keeping it unlocked would actually help sales. I realize that they have a business objective to protect and want to maintain their marketing strategy, but the the bootloader almost always gets broken in the end. If they consider that single fact--then they should come to this conclusion: Why put people through hoops to get the access if they will eventually get it anyway? It just pisses people off.
Locking the bootloader does nothing for those who have no interest in root, etc. It does bring bad will for those who want root and will eventually get it.
It's just silly. Give people what they want!!

i'm tired of waiting, I'm starting to think about flashing a custom one! but you gotta wait, im pretty sure they will release it at some point, soon i think!
BTW: what is exactly different in between exynos models(like C/S/L/K/U/H)? just wondering! i assume its just radio software or...?
I think the only diffrence between them is the radio as long as you keep the radio file untouched then you are good to flash any custome tom for other exynos variants . And i will wait till the update appears but really shame on samsung we paid 800 dollars and we are still months behind people who paid 200 dollar for moto g got lollipop samsung needs to have a good customer service people who pay 850 dollar expect top quality service not a bunch of leaked roms that are merely stable and by the way touchwiz is bullsh**t its a stright crap out of the box

Update N910H
I have the same phone model and the update is not available yet. Did anyone get it already? Just wondering if there is any update on this matter.
Has anyone here received the new Edge Screen update for our phones? This new update lets us change the edge light color and pattern that most of us have been waiting for. I saw an article over at Phonearena that said you can just go into the Galaxy Apps store and update the app there. I have checked my own personal phone as well as 4 others and none seem to have this update.
Anyone here know what the deal is?
Thanks.
