So when it comes to rooting and stuff im a huge noob so in all likely hood what are the chances of this thing getting unlocked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jgrimberg1979:
I would say 10% chance unfortunately. But we have some smart devs working on it so our chances are better, but it has been very very quiet in there lately so i dunno. Keeping my fingers crossed but tempted to go back to att
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] meishkov:
the author of the OP and all the other devs should offer the ~$4k to Samsung or verizon and try to bribe it outta them:silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blackguy101:
I actually second this haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JetBlue:
What would be the point of that? Samsung made over like 10 billion last quarter so 4k means nothing to them and Verizon makes probably 3-5 billion a quarter from contracts so it wouldn't really matter.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] &roid:
And I'm sure their contract with Verizon prohibits them from doing so...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ritkit:
I will throw in 50.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] abissel22:
The contract from verizon does NOT prohibit you from modifying the phone in any way after you buy it. Just like when apple tried making jailbreaking illegal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] meishkov:
yea that's what this reminds me of. Them offering the same exact phone just unlocked so further developement is easier is a money grab. Seems like its illegal or some ish. How can you get away with selling the exact same thing thats unlocked on every other carrier besides yours and then decide that it's hugely popular unlocked so re-release it at triple the going price today. Any lawyers in the building?:mad:

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

Because capitalist suits love profits. They have to do absolutely nothing besides call somebody for like 5 minutes to get it unlocked and release the instructions, and make like 4 grand. I'm telling you if we get a hold of the right suit we can definitely bribe it outta him/her.:cowboy:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] abissel22:
aparently samsung is releasing an unlock code for the bootloader. No guarentee but i posted a thread regarding my conversation about them in the galaxy s 3 general forum.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] meishkov:
Really? I thought its been established that its verizon that demand it be locked and has nothing to do with samsung? I guess the manufacturer knows more about the phone than the carrier eh?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] boynamedstacy:
Nah, ain't happening. Been said multiple times already by big wigs at vzw. People from vzw who claim an unlock is coming are confused with the carrier unlock. Don't plan on bootloader unlock. Period. Officially that is :p

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] abissel22:
i made it clear i was not talking about a carrier ublick and explained the whole bootloader vs. carrier spheal
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] boynamedstacy:

Perhaps when the developer edition comes out, you can just odin their bootloaders. I know that is usually really dangerous, but it is the same phone minus the bootloader I believe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jkc120:

Not sure what the point of that was. That page has been up for weeks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] greevedogg:
I was pretty p!ssed when I finally received my pre-ordered gs3, finding out that big red locked the bootloaders on us...then even more mad when they came out and said there'd be a 'developer edition' with an unlocked bootloader. I was teetering on the fence whether or not to return the pre-order and get the 'developer edition'.

If I had returned/ebayed the gs3, I'd be SOOPER-P!SSED right now...Holding my breath for what appears to be a non-existent device!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nmh5001:

Really should have read... anything before upgrading. From one locked phone to the next. Hope you guys have better luck at fully unlocking this than the MotoPhones.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aety9:
:highfive:

I'm glad I stumbled upon this - The effort put fourth to unlock this bootloader is very inspiring. I only wish the same effort was/is put into unlocking Motorola devices. Just the opportunity to rub Verizon's money-grubbing face in an unlocked bootloader on any of their flagship devices is inspiration enough to do it. Things like this makes me wish I were a developer.

Good luck Devs!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LLStarks:
I put together a hopefully Odin-flashable tar of another bootchain I came across today.

This one is said to be generic for the rural carriers, but has Sprint nomenclature.

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?rpk17enlea3qfqf

I wouldn't flash it unless you have a huge pair.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrostic:
Its the elusive sextape! He's been putting out leaks for the E4GT for ages. Would be awesome if he was an integral part of the bootloader unlock. He could get some of that cheddar
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Well see what happens im talking to my connects inside Verizon hoping they can help

---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 PM ----------

So you made a flashable zip file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrostic:
Looks to be an odinable tar. However, we've tried flashing sprint bootloader/toolchain and ended with bricks

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 PM ----------

With that said I'd give someone with insurance some money towards the deductible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LLStarks:
I don't recall anyone ever flashing a full Sprint bootchain with Odin.

I've heard of only partial flashes using dd or unMD5'd tar in Odin.

Odin accepts the file I've given it. I'm just too chicken to actually flash it.

Btw, those i535 service manuals are legit. Full chip diagrams and everything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I flashed the following on a Sprint L710

VRALEC.bootchain.tar.md5

Result Failed at Aboot.mbn

then I flashed

COMBINATION_L710WWALG1_L710XARALG1_931582_REV00_eng_mid_noship.tar.md5

it failed at TZ.mbn
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrostic:
Worth a shot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LLStarks:
I'd only do it if I had a JTAG ready or ODIN is nice enough to let me flash another bootchain if it fails.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eakrish:
I don't see my name on the list???

Sextape, is this supposed to be a pre-release ROM? Or does the name imply something more (I'm always optimistic of you dropping the holy grail on us)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ndboost:
Another $25 from me, cmon fella's lets not make my switch from Sprint a complete waste :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikejr83:
Are these the same file(s) or is the second a complete ROM/system/bootloader? Would you post md5's please?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddggttff3:
that second dump looks to be a full odin flash. zip includes a md5 file (guessing its signed, so flashable). inside the MD5 there seems to be a FULL image. Includes aboot, boot, cache, non-hols, persist, recovery, rpm, sbl1, sbl2, sbl3, system, and tz.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Im still working on getting something eng or dev not sure how long it will take but im hoping its fast.but even then i dont have a galaxy s3 for verizon so I can only post the files no testing or anything like that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] headcheese:
So excuse my lack of understanding but is all this new information leading us to a software unlock ( like abd commands or flashing something) or messing with the hardware? Similar to what was done with the HTC phone where they shorted something out??

Or still too soon to tell?

I figured that strikeouts through the names or their donations would at least make it more simple to quickly determine who has not yet paid. Assuming that's a desirable metric to keep track of - maybe it's not?

I realize that someone might pay up and not post here, which could mean that a non-strikeout implies payment may or may not have been made.

I sincerely hope that some of these donations go to the leaker. It is he/she who put their neck (job, livelihood) on the line for this community.
