I was thinking of giving LG another shot, and picking up this phone. I am surprised that there is still no development for yet. I'm not to sure that I want to pick this up anymore if it is locked down and still has no one working on a solution.

Which variant you gonna look at? The ATT had a unlocked bootloader and a AOSP Rom for it. (Not officially out yet). There are pictures in the clockwork recovery thread

Wait what? Unlocked bootloader for AT&T version is available? Sorry, been out of the loop, this new excites me!
There has been significant progress on both the ATT and Sprint models, check the development threads in each of those respective sub-forums. Hopefully some of that will spill over into the international section here as well.
Not available. Not yet. But you can actually follow the development of it. And something might be happening tonight in the next 3-4 hours.

There is a lot of progress being made for the AT&T and Sprint variants but I asked on IRC a couple days ago if they would also be applicable to the international (the ones we got in Canada) versions and the answer isn't clear yet. Hopefully that is the case!

Yeah I'm in Canada so I'm looking at the Rogers version. Hopefully the progress in the AT&T progress well help us out.

^^according to the team leader working on the Optimus G (thecubed), after they smooth everything out on the ATT and Sprint models, Canadian variants and Korean variants are next (in that order).

Yeah just finished reading the thread. Awesome! I'm going to hold out until the Rogers variant gets unlocked. Hopefully there will be a price drop too. Not that it is currently expensive. Looking forward to getting this phone for sure. I love my GNex, but the new nexus 4 just didn't tick my boxes the right way.
**Update**
I couldn't wait. I just ordered it Plus I got them to get it to me for $49 after a $50 MIR. Sounds like a fair price to me.

I was in the same boat. Though it looks more and more like there's just att and sprint development. Nothing at all for canadian version. And who knows if there will be any development. Ah well there's always a place to sell my phone and get an N4 if I get tired of it. Lol.
Sent from my LG-E971 using xda app-developers app
I am in the same boat (living in Canada), I want this phone too and the N4 didnt really do it for me besides the timely updates and being the first to get them. With the Optimus G being practically the same phone as the N4 I am very tempted to get this but without development for it, it is pretty much the only thing keeping me back from getting it.
I got the telus variant, and god this thing is blazing fast!
And, the bloatware from telus is realy kept to a minimum, only one link to download the app that recommends some apps. So, if you don't want any, you don't have any!
The interface is pretty much like the Samsung's one, but better. The additions of nice features like the menu on the drop down menu, the apps on the lock screen, things like that are pretty usefull. And, they put a backup utilities it there, nice touch!
the unlocked bootloader will bring most likely more fun and more open roms, but as of now, the stock rom is pretty good!
I am remaining hopeful that the development for this phone will come. The developer, or one of them, "thecubed" who put together the "FreeGee" exploit to unlock the bootloader has stated in his thread that the Canadian, and Korean variants will be next to get the treatment. In that order as well. Just a matter of time I think.

If you have the Telus version can you please check the ATT forum and thread about the bootloader unlock, they want someone to dump the Canadian ROM and send it to them so they can work on the unlock... instructions are in the thread and on IRC.

If they need a system dump for the Rogers variant i can figure it out. was on IRC for the first time today. didnt see anything on there?? unusual format compared to traditional forum. ill take another look and pose the question. im no dev, but im willing to do what i can to help.
Rogers is done
Yeah just saw that. So happy I knew I made a great choice with this phone. Can't wait to get rolling with new Rom's. Patiently waiting.

Well, from my "diagonal read" on the AT&T forum, it seems they already have the dump.
guys where are we to s-off?
we proceed?
There are currently a way or something to get s-off?
An s-off thread already exists on this forum.No need to make a new one.And "no" we do not have s-off yet.Please take any further questions to the s-off thread or the Q&A section.
Dear lord....I mean, no. Not at the moment and by the looks of it, not ever .
The problem is no real developer is looking into this....
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
my hox is branded vadafone, my fear is that tomorrow will not release updates, so I have to change cid, and without s-off you can not.
jb official update is already out for a while but Vodafone still has not released anything.
if we do not change cid I see it hard for branded devices.
My phones CID is Optus001 which means I'll be on ICS for a while longer, ICS does not stop my phone doing what I want it to do. Relax a bit, it will come.

I think he's on about wanting to use an unbranded ruu which has already had jb released, which is not possible without s-off as we can't change our cid.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I believe an experienced developer needs to have a deep-look into S-off and then we might have some hope. But for now, we have to take use to this.
can i say something regarding XDA in general??? I am freaking pissed off with people now days not freaking going by the rules no more...
OP..Have you actually tried to bother to search firstly before opening this thread? No you have not.. Cause if you did you would know what is happening regarding s-off...So as regarding that we do not have it..Big deal..Learn on how to flash a custom rom without s-off. Also regarding JB..There are so many threads which discusses the whole situation regarding CIDS and so on..
So again why was there a need to open this thread. None at all..Just another pointless wasted thread and space and it is really starting to piss me off..
And to others here as well...You moan about this being another thread but you lot are just as bad as well by carrying on debating about stuff in this actual thread..Report the damn thing and move on...
I really miss the days back in the S2 forums were if there was a useless thread opened it was shut within an instant of it getting opened..Nowadays here at this forum you get nothing but bundles of useless threads and the attitude of a few members on this community has started to suck big style cause they freaking do not know the meaning of respect and they also do not know the meaning of freaking searching for something instead they expect to be spoonfed on how to freaking do **** on there smartphones...i really hope someone bricks there **** due to the stupidity of not doing the proper research...
XDA has changed. More mainstream. It's normal looking at how communities grow, develop and change.
I viewed XDA as a non member for 2 years before joining after getting an Android phone. Things have changed aplenty.

As much as I hate to say it I agree with Xmoo, theres been e-petitions, signed letters, huge letters to the CEO's etc. They aren't going to give it us, too much of a risk. Atleast not until theres enough new devices around that the HOX isn't so popular.
But I'd give it 2 years + before they give S-off to HOX.
Would love for this to actually do something, but I'm with Xmoo.....
The carriers just won't stand for it. I reckon HTC would do it if it weren't for the beating they'd get from the carriers.

S-On makes it hard to brick a device.
S-Off makes it easy to brick a device.
I don't think HTC want to deal with the warranty issues of people who cant follow simple instructions. Many of them don't even know what phone they have.

You have to think as well htc haven't thought it through. With s-off you completely loose your warranty so if there making cash of fixing s-on phones they would make more with s-off,as people would send the phone in with no warranty. So to me it sound like htc didn't think there whole security through in the 1st place.
Or am I not right, btw I'm all for s-off and want it bad I don't care for my warranty at all

I'm curious, do HTC have any reps on XDA? You'd imagine they'd be picking up on the mood if there were.
I'd bet that anyone on XDA etc, is the type of person people ask about phone recommendations. Power users may not directly be the biggest piece of the pie chart, but i could almost guarantee they are the type to make recommendations to their friends and family.
HTC doesn't care about xda ,we represent less than 1% of their customers according to HTC

I think what thepolishguy is trying to say is that he would like to sell this to a developer who may be able to use it in order to help us all gain access to an unlocked bootloader or S-OFF. That would be the best case scenario anyway. Best of luck!

honestly for S-OFF testing from two HTC phones I was a tester for.. (HTC Rezound (included use of a paperclip..., and the HTC Inc4gLTE)
your MUST be willing to brick your phone and it's your fault. not theirs..
best bet is if we get a team interested, we get a community phone bought using bounty thread and they have a phone to work off of.

This is still a good offer to any dev eager to build in which they either didn't get a chance to unlock or bricked theirs during testing. Of course not a large user base at this point but once a dev always a dev and they will get the itch!

Hang in there
I remember the days over at android forums when the Samsung preveil came out and when the rush came out. We didn't have root or clockwork mod. Nothing ! And something or someone brought it to the attention to the devs and they came! We had quite a few over there teaching us all about root and recovery and kernals etc. The. Prevail made big news thanks to Shabby penguin hroark 13 Kumaa, trenchcoat, and a few others.
I'm not saying that they will all come over here....but there is a host of great devs on this website some I think the chances that at least one might take interest in this phone might be pretty good.

Couldnt agree more, the new desire range of phones r really nice, some nearly on par with the htc one. Its just i woulda waited before paying 25$, and u never know by then there mite be a free way. Did u try htcdev to unlock the bootloader? Ur device mite not be in the list but u can choose all other devices, r its something like that.
Yes I did ....many times and many settings... errors all the same.....cid not allowed ! Lol I figure 25 bucks is a drop in the bucket plus these devs work hard to put out their work.
So the money helps them out.
I even filed a complaint with the fcc which made Verizon respond on this. It's a long letter way they feel that the security should stay on! Oh well the devs here love that kind of stuff....I've seen that stuff go down with the prevail and thanks to the devs we got root and recovery and kernals etc.
Good to here from ya!
