[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josue85:
I'm down for $10, but these bounties always make me a bit wary as it doesn't encourage different teams / people to share openly, and I've seen it get ugly in other forums. So far I've been very impressed by the level of discourse here, so I'll stay hopeful.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rothnic:
Ahh, a bounty. Consistently brings out the best in people. Greed, holding information to in, and the problem of what to do when either the objective isn't achieved or some completely unexpected outcome not covered in the terms is accomplished.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] juntistik:
Pretty sure it was, this was put up late last night, a bit after I responded to your bounty post saying I'd be in. Glad someone took the initiative and i'm pumped to see how much we have stacked up in less than 12 hours.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Gamer113:
I will kick in 25 dollars
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] C0mbe:
I will kick in money if need be, but, I think this money would be more wisely spent to purchase phones for Devs and encourage sharing of work.

So is this the "preferred" unlock method now... what are the disadvantages of just installing the EZ unlock app vs. this method?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
I'm with you, so is it just a waist of money?? We already unlocked!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Raegx:
This was the original method that paved the way for EZ Unlock. Gratitude is due in this thread to the people who put in all the time and effort to get us unlocked. Not saying you have to pay or use this method.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] boynamedstacy:
Its not a waste because if you're already unlocked using ez unlock, then you unknowingly used Adams aboot method. The app just does all the work for you. Pay up sucka! Without this leak we wouldn't have ez unlock. Period.

do you think this will help fix the bootloader. samsung release the source code for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] incubus26jc:
Is this different then the AdamOutler bounty? and are you saying that you are not going to give the bounty to him but to port the unlocked instead? Sorry im confused
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Schaweet:
For one I would doubt Adam would do everyone's phone for free. He would have to physically have each phone and JTAG them. This would be thousands of phones possibly. My understanding is that he runs a business and would charge for this service. Seems like that wouldn't be quite in the spirit of the contest. That said, I don't speak for him so I'm just making an assumption here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mustbepbs:
What are you talking about? I'm trying my hardest to figure it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] incubus26jc:
+1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Schaweet:
Isn't Adam the guy with the JTAG equipment? If not please ignore me. :-)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ricky babalu:
You are confusing 2 different people. Adam is a recognized developer working on the SIII bootloader. Josh offers a service called JTAG brick repair.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Schaweet:
Well then ignore me lol.

Sorry about that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Just to clarify, the idea of the whole bounty is to create a flashable unlocked or patched bootloader that will allow unrestricted access to the device via ODIN (pretty much to work the same as the GSIII on every other carrier). Whether it is done through a possible port from the Developer Edition of this device or some other method is not important as long as the required is achieved. First come, first serve as they say.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] incubus26jc:
gotcha, it just seemed as if unlocking the current boot loader was no longer going to be accepted. Instead porting the unlocked loader was going to get the bounty. I was ging to say Adam or whoever thats working on this and has put time in such as invisiblek may not like that much if he gets it done first. But, If its first done first served as you say then he should be ok. Who knows, they may use the unlocked loader to get it done as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
No worries. If he posts here first and it helps unless unlock our devices, he gets it. ;) Just curious, do you happen to have any link on status of his work? Or was this an irc chat thing and he's working on it offline?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] incubus26jc:
This is the thread that was started for him in which he posts further down the first page.

He then later goes on to say...

and...

as for his work.. it speaks for itself. For one, he is the reason for The Unbrickable Mod.

Nothing is confirmed yet. Some of these news sites just getting carried away. 90% sure what they are referring to is the global SIM unlock which we all know was already promised to us before the phone was even out. I could be wrong but I highly highly doubt any of these reps even know what a bootloader is.
