No one will fully hack the bootloader. It’s encrypted right? How many encrypted Bootloaders have been fully unlocked? None as far as i remember. The previous Bootloaders have workarounds, such as the Motorola devices, but they are not fully unlocked.

No, you would still have the signed bootloader. You can’t wipe the original bootloader until you gain access to it. The bounty is for hacking the bootloader, not flashing another bootloader in a partition.

I credit him directly with 2nd Init. Before this there were no AOSP ROMs at all. Just derivatives of Stock.

I don’t understand how to do any of this to my phone S3. If possible who knows how to get my phone to this point do I can add CM10 just released today. It’s unofficial but willing to give it a try and get rid of touchwiz.

the droid x community was already huge from day 1 because it was viewed as a challenge…however it did continue because of his work

Well, a flashed bootloader from the dev phone would qualify, no?

I don’t know how much support there will be for the developer model. I’m not going to shell out $600 just for the principle that Samsung should have said “No” to signinglockingencrypting the bootloader in the first place.

The bounty is for actually unlocking or patching the bootloader if I am not mistaken. Not the Kexec method.

I’m fimiliar to rooting but not to Kexec, and I have a question to anyone who is fimiliar to it and to the Droid X development.

Should I buy the Developer Edition of the GSIII, or will this Kexec thing make it to where there are plenty of ROMs for the current locked down device?

Where did you get that rom with the Dropbox storage? Thats one of the big things I wish i had, especially when I might get a Nexus 7 which has very limited storage.

I don’t know much about how easy this is to bypass, but I like to flash ROMs and I like to have lots to choose from.

Knowing this about the workaround for the bootloader, would you guys recommend staying with my current Galaxy S III with the locked bootloader, or selling it and geting a Developer one?

I had the galaxy nexus And it had many issues the signal was bad and a loud click sound would come from the processor not the speaker. It was bad and only during calls the gs3 is much better

At least its not as bad as apple that had kill switches for every iphone if it was jail broken or unlocked they could kill the phone and wipe it. That’s even worse that a company would do that to the consumer who bought their product.
