S4 on Verizon in 4 days who's excited for what's to come?!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Fastnova007:
Verizon s4 is already shipping for pre-orders...can't wait to get this boot loader unlocked and start flashing this thing!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mocsab:
Dont lump us all in the same category - there are quite a few of us who have been patiently waiting and are looking forward to your releasing the Bootloader Exploit - we are grateful that you plan to share your work and willing to wait until whenever that happens. We can't wait to join you on CM10 or some other custom rom - but it'll happen when you let it happen and that's ok.

Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Jaredw18:
I did the same. I never doubted the fine XDA community, and amazing developers I see we have on this. We att S4 owners are going to be just fine. All in good time. :thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Rhamza161:
I've never doubted the Dev community Dan, I'm waiting patiently and would be willing to wait even longer than the end of the month. When it is time, it is time. That is the end of the story. Don't listen to the other people who have to whine and cry about something they feel is owed to them, when in all actuality, it is nothing of the sorts. Thank you for doing what you do Dan.

Super nexus.... Can't wait I'm using nova at the moment can't believe how laggy this touch wiz is...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] redstar299:
Yes it's a still a great phone without the unlock.. Anyone who can't live without the way it is for a few weeks until the bootloader unlock is ready needs to chill. Try being in iPhone land waiting for months a time... Be grateful and thankful
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Rotary Parts:
+1 on this to many disrespectful and impatient people here. [MENTION=4229979]djrbliss[/MENTION] when he releases it will be all good and i for one will be thankful. but the people talking crap and being disrespectful is what causies devs to leave or not release work to the community. so in end be patient and it will com.e i have no prob being on stock rooted with all bloat gone. :highfive:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sabre31:
This phone lags and sucks so bad on stock I switched to LG Optimus G Pro until boot loader is unlocked so I can do Cm and really use this phone.

Thanks for sharing!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] paleman27:
Yeah man I'm growing impatient. I'm gonna give this a couple days more then I'm moving on...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] greenzone560:
Look on the box that it came with. Does it say "Made in China" or "Made in Korea"? If its made in china go to the store and ask for a replacement. (dont forget to restore if you have done anything to it)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sabre31:
Thanks I will check that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Rotary Parts:
where on the box do i look it only says printed in Korea?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] greenzone560:
There is big white label on the side of the brown box
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] greenzone560:
There is a big white label on the side of the brown box kind of like this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ricketrash:
I don't have a barcode on my box.. the box does say "Printed in Korea" though like Rotary Parts.. does that mean the phone was made in Korea too, or does that have nothing to do with it? Is there any other way to tell? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] StolenVW:
Yeah the sticker under the battery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Rotary Parts:
mine says made in Korea so im good was wondering why i had no to little lag issues that cool thanks for the info bro!!:highfive:

Hey man gotta give you some SA/FB Love!

Former (2x SA, 3x FB) rotary owner here!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RicoStang:
That seems to have been the case for the past (almost) month. You must have just caught up with all the crap on here. I have no idea how you haven't quit and canceled the exploit with all of what people have been saying. You must be a true patient AOSP man who is able to tolerate everyone else Can we just get Task in here to troll the thread at this point? I need some entertainment after reading the endless "I'll be patient and I understand, but I wish he would release it now. I know it will be here by the end of the month and hopefully in the next 10 days and I'll be happy I kept my S4, but I have such a hard time waiting! It's like Christmas or Easter or Thanksgiving or Mardi Gras or New Year's or Labor Day or Martin Luther King Day or National Android Lollapalooza Day! I know we'll be able to flash soon and I have faith that the exploit will be released, but I just wish it was now... NOW NOW NOW! Where is it? Ugh, I hate Verizon. Why do they have to be so selfish? I'm patiently waiting and I'm fine with it, but I HATE IT AND I WANT CUSTOM ROMS NOW!" posts that everyone has been plastering all over the threads running down them like diarrhea at this point.

I would say forgive me for another annoying post, but at this point the thread is so f***ed that it probably doesn't even matter. I guess my only question now is what section it will be in. Original Development? I'll keep my eye out.

each day that passes, another thing to worry about backing up for the bootloader wipe.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] greenzone560:
I totally agree, I want the unlock really bad too but I am willing to wait even months if it takes that long.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SlimJ87D:

Just returned my g pro for the s4. I sure hope we have a release by the end of the month. Isn't the Verizon version shipping already?

I'm not sure why that dev thread is still open? Didn't someone crack it already? Or will Adam make one to in case?

As far as a release I'd hope by memorial weekend. I need this thing unlocked lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
Wow why the hell is everyone on my case? I'm trying to help people out and give advice ffs I wasn't going off topic so what the hell is this about not posting in the development thread. I was answering a question. You're not a mod so... Yeah.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sholsten:
Why the Hell would you lock this thread since it's in the General Forum?:rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] shabbypenguin:
its obviously a hot topic since people feel the need to keep attacking each other.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] acruxksa:
From what I gathered READING the dev thread started by Adam, He's trying to find a permanent (non patchable) unlock for the bootloader. Dan's unlock is software based and the reason he's delaying it's release is to get as many locked phones out into peoples hands as possible to maximize the benefit to our community. Implying that once he releases the unlock, Verizon and probably shortly thereafter AT&T will release an OTA update that patches the vulnerability. This won't be an issue for people who don't install the update, but it's a safe bet that anyone buying a new phone from Verizon or AT&T after the update won't be able to use Dan's unlock method.

Hence the reason AdamOutler's thread is still open and Dan (djrbliss) is withholding the release of his unlock until Verizon makes the S4 available to the masses.

Both of these guys are very good at their jobs, I benefited greatly from Adams work on the Nook Tablet and it's a good thing he's interested in the S4. Although I haven't directly been the beneficiary of Dan's work there are many developers on here who speak very highly of him.

It's in our best interest to stay on the sidelines and let them work. I also noticed romracer checked into the dev unlock thread, yet another developer who's work I've benefitted from when I was rocking an Atrix 4G. There's seems to be a lot of interest in the S4 and we will all benefit from it, but we need to give them the space they need to work and keep the babble out of their line of communication, ( the developers section)

I will be sending a small donation to Dan when he gets around to releasing his unlock.

The phones only been out a month and we've already got root and a sim unlock. Seems like great progress to me.

hehe I did not mean it like that, if I insulted you I aplogize. I want this bootloader thing over with so we can get down to what we are really here for. And when it does happen, all of these crazy posts will be buried forever.

looks to me like you are very knowledgeable on many topics you replied to, but not in some places is it needed. carry on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mocsab:
The DEV Thread for Bootloader work has some very interesting information about the BOOTLOADER LOCK issue we face. I can't contribute to it - as I am not a developer but in essence the discussion seems to be centered on finding a permanent solution so that if a patch is released by ATT or Samsung - future users will have the ability to unlock - (assuming that ATT Would have found a patch for the Exploit created by Djrbliss)

I am not a developer - and my knowledge is limited but it seems like commonsense to me that Even if ATT did release a patch to Djrbliss's bootloader exploit - we still have the original version of the ATT Firmware that is unpatched - so, in the event the PATCH did come out, blocking the exploit from working - couldn't future people simply ODIN the ORIGINAL Firmware that is UNPATCHED and then run the Bootloader exploit?

Maybe this isn't; as good as a permanent fix - but is there some reason that this wouldn't work ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
No because they can push an update at the kernel level which will patch the exploit no matter what.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] howtomen:
Odin includes kernel flashing to.... So ur answer would be wrong also... U could just flash another kernel... However i think his scenario also wouldnt work..

sgh-i337 using some sort of ultimatum. sgs4 life
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mocsab:
shows how little I know - I assumed the kernel was included in the firmware - but I guess what you are saying is that It is 'deeper' than that ?

Oh well - sounded good for minute - or a few seconds anyway - lol

thanks for the info - helps me understand a little better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
Doing does include kernel flashing as well but they can update the kernel and patch it or blow a qfuse and that will prevent any downgrading and such. Samsung is a smart company.

I thought the "LOL" gave it away as a joke.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ulbonado:
Once they patch Dan's exploit, the new firmware will presumably require a different signing key, so the old firmware will be invalidated and the new firmware won't let you revert to the old.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] StolenVW:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] shabbypenguin:
its a tool for devs, we patch recoveries/kernels so they work, you guys just need to eitehr flash in recovery or in adb shell.

as soon as i have teh aboot img i can "sign" the recovery i made. since i have sprint i dont have it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fix-this!:
im no dev but this doesn't seem like a true bootloader unlock to me then. nothing like what we had for the sg3. someone correct me if im wrong?

its seems this is to circumvent the bootloader lock to be able to flash a recovery and kernels. this seems to be something like htc dev, not true s-off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mattdm:
He hasn't released it in a non-technical, user-friendly form yet. I think that's what they mean.

Never mind, I misunderstood...wow. This is better than we imagined.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SysAdmNj:
So how much longer until we can unlock the device because I'm planning on buying this device off contract and I'll donate as well :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] shabbypenguin:
with the tool you can flash a custom recovery, kernels and roms... unless i missed something?

the only tool you guys need is the loki_flash which is in teh github repo. rest is up to devs :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fix-this!:
im not ungrateful but i thought i heard before this was something the user flashed to totally unlock the bootloader. that's why i was confused.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mattdm:
Yeah, but I don't know how to use that...I'm definitely not a dev. It looks like that's just the code for loki_flash, not a compiled tool for us to download...please correct me if I'm mistaken!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MrPlNK:
So do we just adb and flash that loki file? Or what? Im cool with this stuff not being a program we run or something but a little direction would be nice

im gunna be updateing the thread here shortly.

switching things around and trying to make it clearer, just have a crapload of people msging me on irc and quoting me on here so im trying to sift through it while still getting files setup :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
It worked got a successful message but It wont boot into recovery :|
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] nakedninja42:
I ran it twice, first time I did a reboot to see if I get a message like the one djrbliss screenshoot he did May 1st. Then tried to reboot in recovery, it was stock. The phone has the recovery file that flashes stock recovery on reboot removing custom. So second time I ran the same commands and did

adb reboot recovery

and then it worked with custom. When I selected to reboot to system it prompted to remove the stock recovery file.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] paleman27:
What do you mean? Will the exploit unlock it? Is it like the X-Factor exploit?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
I booted into stock recovery but it didn't promt me to remove it once I rebooted... this is weird Is it because I have the update from may 7th or whatever on it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] nakedninja42:
Not the stock recovery, its the custom recovery that removes it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] shabbypenguin:
for anyone that doesnt think this isnt worthy of the bounty, be sure not to use it. if you think this work isnt worth supporting then it isnt worth using.

not picking on anyone etc. just wanted to state my opinion before teh wave of people backing out of their pledges because teh software he designed to work around the locks so that yall could enjoy some good stuff didnt fit what they "ordered" :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fix-this!:
dans method is NOT a bootloader unlock, it doesn't even touch it.

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ----------

i assume this is meant towards me, i wasn't bashing, i asked a question. i think his tool is worthy of donations but since the bootloader remains locked im not sure he deserves the entire bounty either. since the thread clearly is for "unlocking the bootloader". just my two cents. btw i already donated to dan for his work.
