Since the OP of the other topic sold the best phone for some other thing I decided to start this one to keep track of bounty donators.
Some of us have done plenty of bounties and are good on their word. So once this gets unlocked please send your pledge to thecubed's Paypal email which you can find in his profile I linked.

Should I start posting over here now?
I'm going to try a custom kernel today to see if I can get tethered booting working... but before that I think I'll have a special screenshot for y'all
(I have verified that Loki does indeed work on this phone. I've been able to overwrite LK strings with a specially crafted boot.img file, however the kernel is the issue now)

I <3 all of you guys. Thanks much!
It's been a busy day at work today, and the power went out at my house, so I wasn't able to finish my IDA disassembly work remotely on my home PC's VM...
All of my servers are linux based, and my copy of IDA is for windows, so...
I threw together a box at work and put windows server on it. I've forgotten how much of a windows server noob I am haha.
Anyway, that said, I now have an IDA box that me and Shelnutt2 can share. I'm going to try damn hard to get you guys a 'victory-in-progress' screenshot here soon... I'm 100% confident that I can make Loki work, the real issue here is kernel.
An idea that I've been toying with is a neat way to actually root/install all of this at once.
I've created a python replacement for LGNPST, which we can bundle with the root/unlocker-- put the phone in LGNPST mode and you'll end up with a rooted and CWM/TWRP'd phone.
This would be to solve the issue of a lack of fastboot under normal circumstances, since there's no way to enter fastboot without nuking boot or recovery.
Another option is to compile my own version of Moboot (LK) and put it in place of the boot partition. On boot, the phone would boot another bootloader, and we could store our boot.img files in /cache, since that's rarely used.
All of that would be an interim solution until I can get SBL3 unlocked so we can just replace LG's weird-ass bootloader altogether.
Anyway, lemme know what you guys think is the best option. I'm going to try to get a screenshot up for y'all tonight.

I think that rooting and installing all at once would be the best option for now. At least it sounds the best to me. Thanks

If you store the imags in cache, what happens if we run one of the commonly available "housecleaning" programs like Clean Master that clears the cache? Would we lose the images we need?

Indeed you would. However, in my experience, cache isn't used for much and doesn't need to be cleaned anyway (for most problems, that is).
Doesn't look like I'm going to have a screenshot up tonight. I'm heading to bed now.
Finally got my IDA box working, but the IDA db wouldn't load, so I'll have to figure that out tomorrow.
Thanks for sticking with me, guys!

To be fair, he hasn't completed the work, so there's a reason people are pledging and not sending.
Not to mention that it is a bounty. Someone could post on here in 5 minutes a complete method before thecubed does, and they would deserve the money.

Yo cube im with you something is broke inside the kernel.After decompressing it and tring to recompile the kernel is flawed.Even do it with the opensource..IDK what to think I will keep plugging away.

[BOUNTY] $$$ to unsign a signed bootloader!

UPDATE: APP/Patch released here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071
I am starting a bounty for the coders to find a way to unsign/unlock a signed/locked bootloader!
We all know that new JMx firmwares will load a new bootloader and lock it up... if any coder can reverse it and unsign it so we can flash customize kernals and ROM...he or she should get paid!
I will start the bounty with $10.

Im not sure if i understand it wrong, but as i understand the sbl is doing all the flash work, and boot check the signature. correct me if im worng.
So patching the sbl would be a good idea, so it dont check the signature of patch it so it will always end up with pass signature.
It may not help people with all things signed, but most with sbl unsigned will be able to flash an unsigned boot and zimage.
Another way is to see if any og the G2 spl flash is possible on galaxy tab.
I assume that most people with signed bootloader will have SBL signed too cus they come together in a rom packet.

How does that fix the problem? Those ROM's are good for people who dont have signed bootloaders!
Once you make the mistake of loading signed...you cant go back!
Yeah ROTO's ROM is great!!
And yes, signed bootloader and sbl still able to flash those firmwares.
I have both signed BL and SBL and yet I go back and forth many firmwares with no problem.
So it is not so big deal to have signed BL and SBL now, as long as there is no really great kernel released yet.
We just cant flash new bootloader and kelnel = =
And yet I +1 for the idea of the Bounty ^^
Be able to get unsigned BL and SBL back will make me feel safer ^^

Yes...we can flash any JM* firmware that ROTO makes because those firmwares are signed firmwares and our bootloader will except them....so can someone without signed bootloaders as their bootloader doesnt care of it is signed or not.
BUT...lets say some new JK or JL or something else new comes out that is not signed...or lets say CM 6.1 or CM 7 gets ported soon to the tab....we will not be able to load those....or even a kernal with voodoo or OC.
Please state how much you want to add to the bounty...thanks.
I unfortunately was hasty and ended up with a signed bootloader...so count me in for $10!

Thanks for all the support guys...keep them coming!
I think if we get enough money we will get the attention needed for the coders to look deep into fixing this issue.
We really need this fix for the future...as I have a feeling CM 6/7 mod or gingerbread port is coming soon for the tab.

You need to think bigger, $10 milion and build an RSA-1024 cracker with $10M array of FPGAs. Then maybe after 1000 years you will get the key.

Maybe if it cannot be removed, it can be disabled (the bootloader check) or maybe a way to sign customized kernals and ROMs!

No problem! I have a Lifetime warranty on my Euro Tab and my name is Norris. Chuck Norris.
I think that the solution will be to find a way to bypass the signature check. And not to crack the encryption.

see now this could be the start of a great movement for our forum here. someone buys the xtc clip, uses it, sends to to the next person, they use it, they send it to the next person in line....see what im getting at here? all you have to do is pay for shipping and the credit.
Of course all it would take is one Dbag to mess the whole thing up.
But it would definently be one hell of a community movement. The whole inc2 community helping each other out to have everyone on root.
who knows.....its a damn fine idea though.

All the roms (excluding cm7) will run webtop. It's just usually NOT included in the rom. If you need webtop, Samcripp has provided webtop fruitcakes in his thread, they can be flashed with cwm.
Most roms include one of faux123's kernels. So you will more then likely have a webtop status bar that does not function. Obviously faux is working on this. I am using a 1.3 ghz kernel he provided for testing. As far as I know, it is NOT a final fix.
Faux123 also provides a stock at&t kernel in his thread, that works perfectly with webtop.
Enjoy your lapdock!!

Thanks 95rr900, figures mine will be running CM7 when I get it, but I'll have to figure out which other one I want to use then, and just use an alternate launcher.
Will the AOSP rom do it? I would guess not since that's what CM7 is based on, right? has to be something based off of a moto ROM?
Anyone non US bought it successfully?
I'm from Argentina and I must tell, the price difference is dangerously huge.
Experiences buying in this site from outside US?

Will the AOSP rom do it? I would guess not since that's what CM7 is based on, right? has to be something based off of a moto ROM?

AOSP will not. So far, nobody has released a ROM with WebTop that isn't Blur/stock-based.

[Q]Having trouble getting identifier token

I have an HTC one with software number: 1.10.605.8 and I have been trying to unlock the bootloader for 4 hours with no luck. I have tried using multiple different tutorials but none have worked so I have been trying to achieve an unlocked bootloader by using hansoon 2000's toolkit. Everything looks like it will work in the command prompt when I am searching for the identifier token but when I post it into the htcdev website I get
"Error Code: 160.
Error Reason: MID Not Allowed."
If there is anyone that could please help me I would really appreciate it.

there are several threads stating the Verizon HTC One CAN NOT be unlocked using HTC DEV or really any way at this point.

I did search the forums. go ahead and look at my search results (http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=error 160 MID htc one), you'll see all the posts on the One X forums. I have an HTC one(m7) so I wasn't sure if it was the same which is why I went to the help/troubleshooting forums. Don't get all butthurt because I am asking for help.
THank you Kraizk for actually answering my question.

And search does not always mean "search", more like scour or seek. If you read the general forums for this device for 5 minutes you would see that its not unlockable. Even searching google would show you this. Its not a big deal, just look around next time
Depending on how much getting an unlocked bootloader is worth to you, you might want to read this thread - Verizon HTC One General - Purchased a JavaCard for S-OFF.
Among the many things you can do with S-Off you can use the Super CID tool, which allows you to enter working information into the htcdev site, you will not get the error code when trying to your identifier token.
What is being offered is for Sonic2756 to use a HTC developer tool called a javacard to get S-Off for the Verizon HTC One and a number of other HTC devices.
I personally think this is a great deal, less then $50 after all the shipping/insurance expenses get added in, for someone to use an official htc method to get s-off. Even though the chances are good that someone will find an exploit to achieve s-off, the chances are also good that an exploit like that will take a while to develop and those exploits could run the risk of breaking your phone and giving you a fancy paper weight. I believe using a HTC developer method of achieving S-Off to be the safest way to go, provided you dont cut corners with packaging your phone and ship with insurance for it.
Chill out on the guy, he probably just got into Android and wanted to mod his phone. We don't want people thinking we're jerks and have them go back to the iPhone do we?
In his defense, there are like 8 different HTC One variants, it's horrendous. This is just the HTC One, without any letters after it. It's the M7 model from HTC. HTC6500LVW is the official model/SKU number from Verizon.
@armpit101 - Like everyone else already said, it's currently not unlockable unless you purchase an S-Off procedure from a member called Sonic on here. It's $30 but you also have to pay for shipping both ways. So likely around $60 total if you tack on insurance, which is highly recommended for a $650 phone.

I just thought I would update this thread with current prices, Sonic has been reduced his price from $30 to $20, this does not include the addition charge of return shipping, which gets included in the transaction, the only thing that does not get charged in what you buy from his website is the cost of getting the phone to him.

So we pay to send the phone out to him, but the $20 covers S-Off and return shipping?

Ok so we are still paying the same way as before, except now it's about ~$50 total.

Is $50 too much to pay for S-OFF? I don't think so. You can always go cheap and not pay for insurance. Cost $5.80 to ship with no insurance. He has a ship back option with no insurance.

lol I was just stating the costs. I'm not interested in doing it since I'm already unlocked.

The cost is this
it was $30 for the S-OFF
Sonic kindly lowered it $10 because he is a great guy.
so,
for $20 + $15 = $35
you Get
you phone S-OFF and sent back to you with $600 of insurance.
the other fee comes from how you decide to ship, I suggest the same way Sonic is sending it
it costs about $8.55 for $600 worth of insurance with USPS you'll end up most likely paying around $14-$16.
IMO for insurance shipped both way for $50 it's 100% worth it, I just need to find the time to send it out, keep saying I am but something keeps coming up.
work, life. bahh, but
from my estimations he should still have about 100 credits left at least (I hope)
and I am already htc dev unlocked so I don't feel the need to get S-OFF before those without root, also.
