If you guys keep setting New money goals they are never gonna release the unlock. This is like a job now not a hobby. The spokesman keeps saying 1 more thousand come on you guys can do it. And the devs are just waiting and watching. Androids open source free community is now just another way to get paid. Not saying that I wouldn't take your thousands of dollars cause I would it's just getting a little out of hand. No phones get unlocked now unless there is money involved

I had this same impression.
[AT&T LG G3] Ker~Man:
Those with this type of outlook toward this bootloader unlock bounty would likely have the same attitude toward anything and everything involving bounties in any setting including, but not limited to XDA. Like most who understand how this stuff works, and do not take on the outlook that donating is like throwing caution to the wind, this is an insult to the community (especially to proven dev's like the ones involved here) and is a complete slap in the face to everything that this community stands for (albeit, I, like many, disagree with some things, but realize the rules exist for the better). IMHO, this type of publicly-advertised opinion should be rewarded with immediately banishment, and the 5th Amendment should be ignored. If one wishes to look at things with this point of view, then they shouldn't even have any involvement in this topic, whatsoever. I see how your point COULD theoretically make sense, but it should not even been considered as a possibility in this setting, nor is this the place to post such ideals. Just my $.02 -- but please believe I am very, very passionate about what I have just said...
[AT&T LG G3] shawnten:
Nope and I'm not going to. Before all these pledges started the past couple of years devs would just share now every new phone has a price on in to get unlocked. That's a fact..

---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

This used to be a free community. I thought paying devs was against the rules anyways. I hope they get 10 grand out of you. For you to think I should get banned is just very strange. By the way you can speak passionately and still be dead wrong our president does it all the time
[AT&T LG G3] dadsterflip:
I remember those good ole days.. But I have a feeling these devs would unlock it with less or more money..
[AT&T LG G3] Gater2011:
Ummm it's just his opinion. To say he should be banned is blasphemy. I agree with him to an extent. My only concern is (which was backed up by the people doing the unlock) there not in it for the money. So why when I check progress I always see "Donate more" or "Let's give a bonus". Comes off as begging.
[AT&T LG G3] samg77:
My pledge is a "Thank You". If I could unlock my own boot loader I would. I pledge the amount that having an unlocked boot loader is personally worth to me. These are all voluntary, and I assume the other people who pledge are showing how much having a unlocked boot loader is worth to them. I in no way shape or form believe the developers to be greedy, they are hard working volunteers, that have absolutely no obligation to share there findings with us, if they do find an unlock. I am a firm believer in rewarding hard work, and if I can motivate someone to volunteer countless hours to unlocking a phone, that they may or may not even use as there daily driver, so be it. These developers skills are easily worth more than $100 per hour, if you ask me, the community is getting a bargain! They could spend 100 hours on this and not even achieve the unlock, and guess what? Every single person who pledged money, spends $0. The devs? They also get $0. Who's putting the risk here? Us by voluntarily pledging money to something we feel is worth it, and we will not ever have to pay if the goal is not met, or the devs taking on a project that has never been done before, so it is unknown if it is even possible. Clearly they are not in it for the money. There are plenty of jobs they have the skills to earn a guaranteed pay check.

The Developers do this because they have a passion for it, and they enjoy it. I'm just happy to do my small part, and give them a nice thank you. I would GLADLY pay a surcharge on top of the retail price of this phone for it to come with an unlocked boot loader, so why not give that same amount to the hard working members of this developer community.

REMINDER: This is a "fund raising" thread. The purpose of it is to raise funds to reward the first developer(s) to unlock the boot loader on the LG G3 Smartphone. I am the only one saying "Donate more" etc, and again this is called fund raising not begging. I know the developers aren't in it for the money, but I am going to try to raise as much as I can to motivate all the best talent out there, to achieve this goal.

Lets try to keep things positive so we do not have to clean the thread again. I will stress for the third time, these pledges are voluntary, if you don't want to pledge by all means do not pledge. On the flip side nobody should be picking on those of us who want to pledge.
[AT&T LG G3] TonyStark R.I.P.:
On this thread I am a regular dude.

As a user I ask that we keep this thread clean and used as it is intended.

It is easy to Unsubscribe from this thread if you do not believe in its purpose.

While bounty's are not new they do turn some people off, fair enough but there's no reason to berate the the idea. It's also not cool to belittle the people pledging to the cause.

"Donate to me" has been available for a few years, however, this is by no means a donation. This is purely a motivator to find a way to unlock the bootloaders. There are many difficult steps that need be obtained to make this process happen.

Please read up more on the process, before denigrating the idea.

I think it's so cute how some feel the need to come here and thread bash. Takes me back to kindygarten when everyone's mom's were still trying to teach their children that "if you have nothing nice to say, then say nothing at all"

It was my impression that we here on xda were above having to be treated like 5 to 7 year olds but I guess I was wrong. As such there is a new rule in this thread that EVERYONE is expected to abide by.

NEW RULE

If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all

[AT&T LG G3] samg77:
What a lot of people who are against pledging do not understand, people who have pledged actually take pleasure in helping those out who help us, we want our pledge to help with the effort of getting the boot loader unlocked. We do not have the skills to unlock it our selves, and we are contributing in the only way we know how. We are on the same team as the developers, we may not be the "star quarterback", but we are awesome cheerleaders! We don't want to sit idly by and just hope something happens, we are attempting to make it happen. In the old days bounties did not exist so a lot of people expect everything to just happen magically. However some phones never got unlocked. The primary reason I started this bounty, is I did not want to settle for safestrap. I owned the Note 3 and once safestrap came out, no work (that I know of) went into a bootloader unlock which bugged me because I really loved that phone, and I told myself I was not going to let that happen again if I had ANYTHING to do about it. So the day this phone came out I bought it, and I started the bounty to work towards this goal. This phone is nearly perfect, this is the last thing it needs! I look forward to the day I can have my phone unlocked, very excited.

Ya sorry I screwed up and forgot to change the second build number in the template that I used from the Verizon S5, I have since obviously corrected it, sorry for the confusion. I changed it in the one spot, and didn't catch that it was in another spot as well.

I was in the original thread on the main LG G3 forum. I pledged $20 for the AT&T variant for an unlocked bootloader. I am guessing that when they crack one the will crack them all. Still put me in this thread again at $20 for sure.

[AT&T LG G3] Pure+:
I don't know any of the devs working on G3 but I'm sure there are plenty. Seems to me that they aren't public about working on devices until they are ready to release a first version of their Rom because they don't want to be bothered by thousands of people asking them daily for ETA's.

As for the original question, which I believe had to do with why we want a BL unlock when there aren't any roms yet is simple in my opinion, we want to be able to flash the roms the instant they are released.

Anyways thanks my friend... And hopefully we'll enjoy some custom recovery action on these badass phones some time soon. And if not... That's OK to because lg made a great phone in my opinion.

I'm sure its just a matter of time. With the TMO version having an unlocked BL I'm sure it won't take to long. And as soon as some devs get their hands on the TMO version I'm sure well begin seeing custom recoveries and roms shortly after.

From what I understand, this doesn't allow for flashing custom kernels, right? That would be a bootloader unlock. Maybe this is loading the recovery from /system.

There is no "small contribution" these things aren't forced guys, you pledge whatever you feel comfortable with, and if you feel comfortable. Hope it wasn't anything that was said in the thread, as the developers working on the unlock, do not run this thread, nor have they been apart of the recent discussions that have been going on. Hate to think anyone would punish the hard working devs for a bit of drama thats been going on in the thread as of late. No problem I will remove your pledges.

[AT&T LG G3] trent999:
What that means is that the lock state of the boot loader is not the only thing preventing the loading of a custom recovery that would allow an unofficial firmware version to load. There is another check. Unlocking the boot loader by itself is not the solution we are all looking for and by itself will not allow custom roms.

It's just people giving up way to fast, being very impatient.

The guys working on unlocking it are pretty confident it will be unlocked and have made some pretty good headway in doing so. That said, I guess we'll all just have to wait and see. At the least we have root, which is a pretty big bonus if you ask me.

If you don't like the phone, return it. If you do like it, keep it... getting unlocked will only make things better :)
[AT&T LG G3] Gordo1603:
This is exactly on point!
[AT&T LG G3] android_4life:
I agree, Root is great right now no At&T bloat, LG bloat, and we can use frameworks along with other tweaks to keep us busy while the dev. are working on an unlock. Anyone who wants to complain about it not being unlocked yet, find some tweaks to do with your root access or something. There's allot we can do with our phones right now thanks to root.

Could be worse for example Sammy's ugly, memory hog, cluttered Touchwiz UI, At least LG UI is clean and decent.....Stay positive folks.

Ok can we please keep this thread on topic.
[AT&T LG G3] thecubed:
Hello all!

It's time for another Story Time with Tyler post...

First, this bounty stuff is getting ridiculous. To everyone who thinks we're working on this for the bounty, you're crazy. Don't doubt my character like that without ever having spoken to me. That's just rude.

Most of the developers working on this didn't even intend on collecting the bounty. The plan was just to release the unlock once we have it working and see what comes in from that. The bounty hasn't even played one iota into the development of the unlock. Please get that out of your head if you think that's the case.

Second, as an actual update from us - we had previously thought that the unlock flag was in some way related to the personalization status of the phone (simlocked or not), however this appears to not be true. LG has done something rather creative by precompiling a bit of code and including it in the bootloader as a string that gets inflated by a function and placed into RAM. This inflate function is rather meaty and manages to confuse our decompiler (as well as our brains), so we're working on compiling a devmem kernel module to let us see if the area in memory this function is inflated to is accessible from booted android. If that works, we're golden and don't have to worry too much about figuring out how the inflation process works.

The problem here is that we don't know what we'll find in this inflated blob of code. It could end up being a TZ app that gets uploaded to trustzone and executed there, then we'd have to figure out how that works. This is a bit of a learning process for us as we're ending up having to dig rather deep into the Qualcomm documentation on how the phone's memory address space is laid out, how different assembly instructions call different secure modes of the Krait cores, and how the modem interacts with the rest of the phone. LG has done a pretty good job of making this take a while simply by obfuscating certain sensitive bits and spewing it across the modem, aboot, tz, and even the system partition. We keep finding more and more neat avenues to explore for exploits though, however our main target remains an unlock of the phone.

I'm trying to be a bit generic though about my explanation, as I'm sure LG reads these posts, as do competing developers with not the best of intentions.

Anyway, I'm on vacation for two weeks soon, so there will be a period of time where the only LG phone with me will be my Optimus G (running stock android 4.0, no play store or anything) daily phone, and I won't be bringing the G3 with me so I can spend time with family without being tempted to hax on something.

Hopefully this serves as a good transparency report with y'all.

If anyone still wants to think that we're just simply "waiting for the bounty to become big enough" before releasing anything, kindly don't post here.
