I thought you had to unlock the bootloader before you could root?

you guys are funny with your bashing verizon comments. samsung is a supplier to verizon with this device. they could not release a bootloader unlock tool unless verizon had already approved of it first. they didnt go around verizon.

you are just as dumb to not know the difference between root and a bootloader.

Root is like administrator (windows) You can do what you want within windows, but you’re still stuck with windows.
An Unlocked bootloader is like access to the BIOS (Pre-Boot) so instead of booting into Windows, you could boot into some other OS.

you are so dumb. SMH this is for the Verizon GS3, and you dont need something like this for any other s3 as they dont have locked bootloaders

Root gives you superuser (administrator in windows terms) access, an unlocked boot-loader gives you the ability to load homebrew ROMs without requiring them to be built around certain parts of stock (kernel and some other things, I’m not entirely sure.)

The app description states that it requires root to install. Why?
I am so confused with the difference between root and unlocked bootloader. Can someone explain for the stupid people?

I’ve got gnex but happy to see s3 will get some awesome Roms now. I hope moto gets unlocked boot loaders from Google and they may have a phone as good as the og droid again

Everyone post on their Twitter page about this. That’ll show ‘em. If they would have just been civilized and released an unlock tool like HTC has then they could at least control the unlock. Now they have no idea if you have unlocked.
