Category is "Mobile Phones" and search for "LS970"
Oddly there are two different versions. Even more oddly, searching for "970" (the generic number for the Optimus G) the Sprint version is the only one available, even though the International and AT&T versions have already been released.
I don't suppose this will help much in getting the bootloader unlocked but good to have at least. Will be useful if we do. No one is worse than HTC about releasing source.

Most devices don't get the resources that sextape gave us, so they rely on guesswork primarily. We are very lucky to have thecubed also who is doing all of the actual unlocking and has experience with lg devices and bootloaders.

And I grabbed the kernel source before I saw this and I will build if someone can pull the ramdisk. I need all the init and ueventd files and everything in sbin.

I have my G pre-ordered on Sprint so if you still need those I'll be happy to do what I can as soon as I get the phone. I'm not super smart with this stuff but I can follow directions on adb

Hey, i want to ask something, is that possibilty to get "an unlocked bootloader" is just for spirint,at&t or something related to carrier? I'm living in turkey and probably i will be able to get international one but i don't want to live with lg updates forever, so could you guys give me an idea?
Sorry for my awful english and ignorance...

I'm assuming that if one gets unlocked, then the process for unlocking the other variants will be fairly the same if not the exact same. So if one gets unlocked, then they should all be able to be unlocked, assuming that all of the variants are locked down the same. Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken.
Awesome. I really wanted a Nexus 4 but I guess I'll settle for it's step brother.

Great news- about to pre-order, think a non-removable battery is a deal breaker? Invariably seems I need to pull the battery at some point.

I don't think it's a problem. I have a Nexus 7 with a sealed battery and I've never had to worry about it. Any times that it completely locked up (including while in fastboot), I can hard reset it by holding all the buttons down for a while.

Hi,
I live in Canada and have my GN with Bell. I've been stuck on 4.0.1 since I got the phone; no updates were ever available.
Recently, I had to get my phone repaired and gave it in to the Samsung place here and when I got it back, it was updated to 4.1.1 (I attached a pic of the info)
I just wanted to ask you guys if all the info there looks good/correct. Also, not really sure how the tech managed to update it since nothing was ever available...
On another note, I was wondering if any of you could direct me to rooting methods (preferably on mac) / ways to change to yakju (also preferably on mac) on the version of the phone I have now... I searched and saw a bunch of different methods and whatnot, but I'm terrified to choose a potentially "wrong" one.
Thanks!
they must have updated it using Odin. is the IMEI the same or a different phone
I don't think I've ever seen that baseband before. I wonder if Samsung is actually close to releasing something for the Candian yakjuxx variant.

Before you change to yakju, would you mind dumping your radio, bootloader and ROM please? You have a new radio, so I'm sure lots of folks would like to try it out. And I'm sure lots of Canadians would like to try out your ROM as well.
I can post instructions later tonight.

...Nexus 4
The Optimus G looks awesome but I am on the fence on buying this because of LG's track record of updating their devices and lock bootloaders. But since the Optimus G is what the Nexus 4 is based off of, will development be a lot smoother than Lg's other phones? I am coming from the Epic 4G and they had some great development over there because of the close resemblance to the Nexus S. I am hoping this will be the case for the Optimus G.
What are your thoughts?
If we can get around the bootloader I think it will be. Assuming we can and I get it, I'll do some development. (I did some over at sdx for awhile).
I contacted lg about that and this was their response
No, at this time the bootloader is locked and there are no plans for the release of a developer edition.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
"At this time"...maybe they'll rethink it. :/
I've been wondering the same thing. My EVO 4G is long past its prime and I'm trying to decide between the Optimus G and the GS3, since the Nexus 4 isn't getting CDMA anytime soon.
The GS3 already has a great development community, but the LGOG has much more potential if the bootloader gets unlocked.

*sigh* I really hope we can get the bootloader unlock. I think LG purposely responded like that to sway you into buying it. They want sales afterall and will most likely imply that they will unlock it when they won't.

Exactly, I was about to get the GS3 for the development on it. But if we can just get the bootloader unlock, the LGOG can be just as great.

Are there any news about that? I would really like to buy the Optimus G, especially after what happened with the Nexus 4...
But I definitely can't take another Optimus Speed like update oddysey. 1 month after the official Google update is out should be the maximum time, until Cyanogenmod or AOSP is running on the Optimus G.
The next question would be: If I order it from the US, which model will work in Germany?

I'm pretty sure we can use the same source of the Nexus 4, beside the camera and LTE, our hardware is basically the same. Like I said, the only real problem will be getting LTE and camera working on custom roms.

If I'm not mistaken, LTE is already embedded into the code for AOSP roms like Cyanogenmod and AOKP, so there won't be a total, ground-up code write like there was for WiMax drivers. I could easily be wrong about this, but from following the AOSP progress on my own device and on the SGS3, LTE progress has seemed to go a LOT faster than WiMax ever did. Then again, it could be because maintainers could use code build from other devices (i.e. ATT One X, VZ/ATT SGS3) and it'd fairly easily transfer, since the radios utilized were the same.

Is there any news regarding this? I know with the recent HTCdev lockdown, unlock is not possible, but it sounds like root is easily achievable.
I really only need to root. I don't really use any of the features that unlock would give me. Heck, the only root function I use is Titanium backup. I get free tethering (share everything) and always stick with the stock ROM.
Is anybody actually working toward a root only solution? Or is all the effort directed to a s-off unlock solution?
Same. I want to know as well. This guy seems like if it's such a cakewalk he should do it but as long as someone can figure it out I will be happy

Bootloader unlock is sufficient for flashing ROMs and rooting. S-Off is kinda superfluous.

I honestly think if its THAT much of a cakewalk he should just be able to do it, or to basically hand it to a dev (which he kind of said he did) instead of hinting at all this and doing nothing.
But it's not my place, so hopefully someone DID get the info and will have it unlocked asap

I thought you couldn't write to /system while booted unless you were S-Off. Has that changed? When the DNA was unlocked we weren't able to do so until Beaups (I think) found a workaround with the kernel.
Also, JCase, in a previous tweet, said his PREVIOUS exploit still worked on the Verizon One. I haven't searched, but maybe it's already been released?

Sorry. I just meant that I'll have no problem selling my phone. I'm not trying to 'use' XDA as a marketplace. I can sell my phone on swappa no problem.
But I wanted to get the info out here so someone that could really use it was able to get it.
Make any more sense?

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!

My new phone comes in tomorrow morning (Friday August 30th). If I am satisfied with it I am going to have an HTC One Developer Unlocked One available.
Before I list it anywhere else - I wanted to try and reach out to this community to see if there is a developer that wants it first.
I am certainly not wanting to break the TOS for using XDA Dev. But I don't really know how to get the word out about the availability of this phone without posting something somewhere.
Thanks.

How much would you be looking to get for it?

The OP was just meant to get the info out in the community. I have not read the XDA rules but I am assuming 'For Sale' threads are frowned upon.
Thanks

Deleted. No longer necessary.
I don't want to sound impatient or anything because I'm not I love my htc one as is but am just curious if any devs are getting closer to a unlock or root without the s-off tool. I've seen that there is a large bounty right now so I feel there should be devs at least trying to figure out something but it seems like I'm not seeing much info. anywhere and am only seeing people using s-off cards and stuff and I can't send my phone off. Any ideas?

It has barely been a month. It's going to take awhile. If you aren't happy running stock on a phone don't buy it brotha.

Like I said I'm just curious, it's great stock!
There are multiple posts scattered here and there that hint/speculate that an exploit has been found and the devs are waiting on 4.3.
If you don't want to wait then send your phone off for S-Off, but please don't rush the devs. The exploit will come when it comes.
Can we lock this yet?
Just hold on tight, it will be here soon!
There is an exploit floating around, but it needs work.

I am not allowed to say, but trust me; and exploit is being worked on.
Alright thanks for the info.!

The OP is not rushing the devs, he's just curious if they are getting close.

Yea but in all reality there are multiple threads about this... A simple search would provide the answers.

Why would DEVs who are in a race to get a bounty TELL anyone how far they are?

Exactly why bounties are a horrible idea IMHO. Donating for people's efforts is one thing, but bounties are almost always counterproductive unless someone already has an exploit that they don't want to burn.
Its so funny after leaving iOS for my Gnex almost 2 years ago, I never thought I would be reading about "burning exploits" and "waiting for updates to release tools".
Oh well, the good thing about Android is, even "locked down" android is still amazing! The sexy hardware and looks of the phone take the sting out of waiting also haha

Why? Not "burning" exploits is a damn good idea. What happens when, lets say, the exploit was released now and then HTC took an extra week to patch it? Like getting insurance or warranty replacements? Too bad we wasted the exploit. Look what happened with the DNA and 2.04. It is literally the best idea to wait until the OTA comes out. This way, the majority of users get s-off and HTC will have a harder time patching it.

i remember picking the dna up in april and it immediatly took the update for 2.04 then it took the 2.06 one. only a couple months went by and they came out with moonshine on linux then a window's version came out. i returned my phone back to stock to get 4g back and then i used the window's way. it is great to wait for the ota like you said so many more android's can get unlocked or s-off!!! :good:

I think you misunderstood me. I was just making the comparison from iOS to carrier locked Android.
I completely understand why and how this is all done, but thanks for explaining to those that don't

Of course, but at least there is a ready unlock solution, hopefully the devs will figure out the VZW obstacle soon
