Hey guys,I was wondering if theres any development blogs ,sites, that may get us an indication about what's going on with the custom recovery?
I'm looking for it now and then but all I get is antique topics about how the phone is just out to market and we should give it a month to see custom roms/recoveries .

T-Mobile is the only one with the bootloader unlocked so they have full access to using recovery and roms, I don't know if other variants are using a recovery yet since I am a vs985 (verizon) user I don't watch them closely
For vs985 we can't get into fastboot mode because verizon decided to remove or disable it, so we can't use tethered recovery (temporarily booting the recovery from adb shell)
I can tell you that Recovery's aren't hard to make at all. its just we don't have a way to use them right now &
Roms will quickly follow after Recovery's are able to be flashed

Any personal thoughts /guesses about how long will it take?
I'm really excited about it , because when I bought my g3 I left my note 2 for experiments, and hell isn't the name for what my oldie note went through.
My point is that I finally learned how to install custom EVERYTHING. from kernel to build.prop,and my hands are itchy to do the same on my g3
Unfortunately and until the bootloader is unlocked, we have to patiently wait for our great devs to unlock this retarded bootloader. It may take a couple of days, it may take a month, it may never happen. We just have to wait. Oh, and friendly advice: never ask for an ETA on xda

jcase already found a Loki-like exploit but won't release it till he is sure a complete unlock is impossible. So, we will have an unlock and if not, then we will 100% have the exploit.

no news, this are older "news". you can find them in at&t lg3 forum section with forum search.
be patient, the devs don't like to get stressed and the whole xda drama about unlock.
jcase already said he is able to run custom images but time is the problem to release it. when everyone is stressing them, they will lose interest to unlock under pressure.
when it's ready you will know it. until release be quiet please. thanks.

Unlocked bootloader = Root. Once u unlock the bootloader you can put whatever you want onto your phone, i.e. clockwork mod and rooted roms.

If u unlock the bootloader you can almost guarantee root, because you can flash whatever you want. Therefore unlocked bootloader = root...
You are right though, root does not = unlocked bootloader.

Unlocked bootloader is so you can put custom recovery and flash images. Root is having su permissions in Android OS.

I know this...my point is that getting root after HTC unlocks the bootloader will be as easy as flashing a custom recovery and a rom with su. There shouldn't be any need to find exploits to gain root.
Ex.
Fastboot oem unlock
Flash clockwork from bootloader
Wipe and flash custom Rom of choice.

Aren't the only devices that can be "fastboot OEM unlock"ed developer devices like the nexus and xoom? I know that other devices that don't have encrypted bootloaders can usually be rooted easily but I thought it was still more of a process than a simple ADB command.

If HTC really allows people to unlock their device, that might be one possible method they use. Personally I think they will try and find someway to permanently mark the bootloaders are unlocked so they can make sure the carriers can void warrenties (Much like the Nexus One had a picture of a lock to show if you unlocked your bootloader). I'm sure everyone read it but here's HTC's latest status update. http://www.facebook.com/notes/htc/update-on-bootloaders/10150305151453084
It'll be interesting to see what they do. Realistically, they could just leak the unlockable bootloaders and the good folks here on xda would take care of the rest..
It would be disappointing to me if they included some sort of warranty voiding measure as I don't see why the warranty wouldn't still apply to the hardware.

Anyone able to unlock a bricked tab? That would be top notch...
Nevermind, I see it's a .apk file
Now we can have the stock ROM rooted without any modifications so we can get root without downgrading our firmware. New kernels, too?

Im hoping for a quick port of CWM and then CM9 or AOKP to follow.

No doubt. I just got this tab on Sunday after a month of researching and was super bummed that the bootloader was locked.
Does the release of the bootloader, mean it will be easier to root and not have to do the downgrade any longer?
I spent last night to no avail trying to downgrade (the adb access was an issue, which I might have solved today, but haven't put the time in to test it out).
If it means that I won't have to do the downgrade and it might be end up having easier steps to root, then I think (being too much a newbie in tablets) I should wait.
Just wanted to know if that is what this release means?
Thanks!

Bootloader means custom recovery and then custom ROM's. If you intend to continue running stock rom and merely want to be rooted, then you may still need to figure out the downgrade issue. If you just wanna run cm 9, then you could just continue to wait patiently. Sounds like you oughta figure out ur adb issue either way, though.

People have been asking almost everyday for an unlock method in the Galaxy S4 forums for about 9 months now with no luck so unfortunately asking doesn't seem to get any better results
I don't know why but after I upgraded (OTA) to 4.4 my phone is now unlocked and S-Off. My contract was up a week earlier and I called regarding an unlock token but was told I needed to have a third party do it. Totally contrary to the Agreement the 4 majors had with the gov't in December over unlocking phones when contracts were up. So I'm just hanging out waiting for one of the resident masters to figure out a root.

If you're unlocked and s-off all you need to do is flash a recovery like TWRP and then flash a prerooted rom (most are pre rooted). It's the getting S-off part that many are still waiting to get figured out. You're free to flash away.

Ya, I think you can just flash a superuser.zip in recovery (you will need to flash a recovery first. Either TWRP or CWM...I prefer TWRP). It's been awhile, but I know it's not hard.

you "gathered" wrong..
dev's usually release things when they get them working perfectly, and have a safe way for N00bs to install things without immediately bricking their precious devices.
"Universal" bootloader tool is a pipe dream so dont hold your breath waiting for that
Rumors are just that; rumors, so when your phone's bootloader gets unlocked, you will surely know for sure; until then, its all just SWAG..

They are looking for a universal root for all the variants.
They are also trying to unlock all the variants.
They think that unlocking one variant might allow the unlocking of other variants, but not necessarily all variants.
They are not looking for a 'universal' unlock in the same way that they are looking for a 'universal' root.

Looked at many forums that people opened about 1-2 months ago. It seems like very very difficult to unlock it. I have much respect developers whichones tries to unlock it. Hope they can be successful on this. I'm glad to have stock rom this is very smooth i can admit it not like laggy touchwiz. But want to give a try to CM or PA or any AOSP ROM's like this, because back in time i was used AOSP based rom on my S III I9300 and loved it. Only reason that i want AOSP ROM is i think im loving pure Android it gives me ultra-smooth performance and simple UI.
The Verizon and AT&T threads have a bounty over $5700 and it looks like a few devs are close to having a solution.

It's giving them hell, there not sure they are gonna be able to, but there's always Loki to try, which is kinda like going around the boot loader.

Locked bootloader is like hot beer. Seems and tastes awfully. I wish companies sends their flagships with unlocked bootloader like T-Mobile did. Without custom recovery we're not able to even do a simple tweak (The tweaks who requires recovery such as modified frameworks and SystemUI's) Otherwise there is another option G3 Tweaksbox. But it shows very limited options if you're poor to buy it.

HMMMM well ill have a look at what i can do tomorrow. Maybe i can find a small window here. I almost want to say that the abswer would be to adjust the bootloader to simply allow multi boot possibilities with partitions (at least in my mind that would be pretty cute).
I dont even really want the money. I just want to be able to do what i need to do. Multi OS's on one device.

I've tried modifying one line in build prop, ended up softbricking. I won't change a thing until unlock, at least then you can have nandroids.

If only someone could tell me how to get to debug the software then ill be able to go from there because google isnt your friend when trying to find out.

Also it's good to someone has interest about it. But it's ultimately hard job that they cannot solved in past 4 months. I appreciate all the tries/works on this job. Developers, you da real MVP! Well, other than that small joke we're still waiting. Not only international model D855 other models such as AT&T is waiting to unlock bootloader. T-Mobile users lucky that they got unlocked G3. I hope they will find a cure about it. If you can afford http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/general/bounty-att-lg-g3-bootloader-unlock-t2820785 go this thread and give some bounty (You're not have to do that its only suggest and saying thanks to hardwork)
yeeeeeepppp

Hehe ive also bricked this baby a few times now but lg has a cool restore tool that fixes all the issues.
Why cant we just copy the unlocked bootloader and overwrite the locked bootloader?
But nontheless. Maybe ill end upnrewriting a boot loader to work. But that might take some more time.

So you can say, i tried to modifiying build prop and ended with softbricking but so i got nandroid which is nice to me. Me neither. On my Note 3 i was tweaking build prop without any problem i've even enabled softkeys (I wondered a bit about how it will look etc.) But not gonna touch until this thing unlocks fully. Using stock rom & root with bloatware removed. With helper programs such as Greenify+Coolify. It's like science it's all about develop, try, fail, develop (or fix/debug),try, fail, develop try, success. It's alla about to hardwork and i appreciate all the efforts that developers given on this topic.

Variants have different bootloaders. So we cannot do a copy/paste on it. If it works like this the devices will be unlocked in 10 min. I almost softbricked too but won against my wonder and didn't touched anything. It now works good. I love G3 even its bootloader locked lol

Why don't you go to the irc chat room where all the devs hang out and do their work? You can talk to them there and see what they've tried or what they haven't. Believe the channel is: #lg-g3
