i said "most likely". unless you work for google no one really knows, but rumors and benchmark leaks are leading that way.

and yes, i own the 3 previous Nexus phones if thats what you were asking by "do you even nexus?".

Also having a locked down bootloader is a downer, but not enough for me to want to sell my G3. Like every other phone out there the G3 has its pros and cons, i just chalk it up as a con.
[G3 General] R_McNeely:
It's been less than a month.... aren't we overreacting just a little? Now I could see a rational in them at least waiting till Android L.... Might make less work for updates? Or even after L, not wanting to take time away from tuning it for phones. (Not a dev don't know how practical those reasons are. Also I'm brand new to the G3)

Just to confirm my understanding:

LG has OFFICIALLY confirmed that WILL NOT unlock bootloder or it is just that LG is being slow and it was expected to be unlocked at the end of August?

LG Making Mistake

Well surely LG is making big mistake first they have to test their software before pushing millions of G3 in the market now people start facing lot of issues heat problem , slowness , lagging and now there no bootloader this will hit them in long run now nobody will blindly buy LG phone next time infact people have start selling their G3 and i am one on them.

The fact it mentions target model means it was never gonna happen for the G3.

If you think there is a big enough margin of us modding types to affect what LG does you are deluding yourself. We are like 1%. ;)

The rest of the masses care less about unlocked bootloaders or root for that matter. ;)

If you look at the number of phones sold and how many get rooted.. then from rooted how many actually go and do recovery and bootloader?..

Some Dev will crack it. And if we have to pay that's fine with me. I was one of the lucky ones with the m8 but another guy on the forum had to pay to get s off. He refused to pay so I payed it for him. It's worth 25 bucks to have the phone we own to be the way we want. LG can say they won't do it and it'll be even sweeter when some smart devs out there crack it.
[G3 General] xenkato:
I am a bit confused ,suffix A6 is for 16GB models with FHD resolution, for ours 32GB the other roms ,lets say ATUR	D85510J or ACCMD85510J or AIND	D85510J are fine?
[G3 General] pRo_lama:
As you said. A6 mean that's 16GB version. So everything without this, is ok.

[G3 General] vervester:
The G3 has sold ultra millions of units and still settling! Imagine the kudos from the community for unlocking the bootloader?

The race to unlock the LG G3 bootloader is now all about notoriety. Anyone who achieves this feat will be well respected and received in the tech community and beyond ?fact!

Wouldn't mind that on my CV ?

Sad..like Sony's carrier locked xperias..good till get sick of stock rom or stock based roms and official abandoning of support for the model, they always find some poor excuse ..than it becomes like IOS...cant chage anything..its never been clear to me what the company or carrier care about rom or kernel u are running even if u are on contract if u pay you bills..

Unlocking bootloader and sim unlock are 2 different things so why is not allowed to people to use their phones the way they like..no damage to them what's so ever..baah!

What is odd though, that the Xperia Z1 can have its bootloader unlocked via Sony's developer website but the US T-Mobile variant (Z1S) was supposedly locked and denied this service supposedly at the request of T-Mobile, while the T-Mobile G3 comes factory unlocked with no tool available at all to other variants.

Very strange...

I was just thinking about this bootloader bull....

We say there is no chance that they'll answer our pleas since there is only 1% of us that are interested in this (from all buyers). But that got me thinking. Lets say the number is close to 5% or even if I exaggerate 10% and I think that it's safe to say that only 10% of them manage to make a stupid mistake and destroy the phone. That means that in the end 1% of buyers destroy the phone out of stupidity. Far less than phones destroyed doe to water/dropping and so on.

And I think they are able to detect this kind of behavior without limiting our ability to root or unlock the phone.

I'm sorry, it may seems a total noob question, but is this the first case of a bootloader exploit that doesn't come out since the device shipping on the market? I'm probably going to buy a g3, I don't wanna rush things a flash a new rom, not before my warrancy end, but should we hope, let's say in two years we'll have the possibility to flash rom and stuff?

In other similitar situation, months passed since the device come out and bootloader still not "open", in the end the sitution got better?
[G3 General] eths83600:
Selling or not biting this phone because of the boot loader, it's for me, completely stupid
[G3 General] PlayfulGod:
I agree, if that is a requirement to buy a device, one should research and make sure its rooted and unlockable before buying. Only guarantee of being rootable and unlockable is a Nexus. ;)
[G3 General] sabret00the:
Even on a phone with official unlock like HTCs, it takes around six months for S-OFF. Unlocking the bootloader is really the fundamentals of sites like this. It's just the site has become over saturated with end users. Be patient, it'll come eventually.
[G3 General] Azrael1793:
Thank you for the kind answer.

I join now every other possessor of this device supporting and hoping the devs will make it through.

Also hope LG change his policy, maybe they'll ship with Android L...i'll just wait
[G3 General] sabret00the:
The problem with LG as a company is that they do whatever Samsung do. It's served them well but it means doing what's in the best interests of their customers is always secondary to doing what Samsung are doing.
[G3 General] robto:
Basically, i would NEVER have considered LG as a provider for my smartphone. Buy they did a good job with N4 and N5. BUT.... yes, i am used to nexus and to install whatever rom i want. I decide, not LG.

If LG believe they are fantastic people and will tell me what rom i have to use because i am too stupid to decide.... them LG is not for me.

Dear LG: do not be stupid or in one year or two NO body will consider LG. You are on thin ice. If we change we will NEVER look back.

All of these companies are locking their devices(well most of the ones with US launches) it's all about security now! I think its dumb only because that's throws the people who like to tweak under the bus, which are a small number of people at that! Even root is getting hard to do with these phones! But it won't hurt there sells! 95% of buyers in the smartphone world don't care for root or custom roms so throwing the little percentages of us under won't hurt them one bit.....

Not really true. I have just check and basically I found TWRP and CWM for... M8, S5, OnePlus One,... LG G Watch... Every single smartphone i check already have custom recoveries except G3. I am pretty sure developers are looking other devices. Thank you LG gays. You are very clever.

A couple of years ago Google said "there is a lot of talent people out there and the company who will learn to get a benefit from it will have great success". It seems LG guys have been in a different planet these last two years. Run Forrest! Run!

Edit: I like G3. Horrible lag but i can work with that. I like G3 stock rom but i am very very disappointed with this stupid situation and not been able to make nandroids.

[G3 General] AntiCommon:
I just don't understand it. My g2 can run loads of different roms and some of them are freaking fantastic. Heck paranoid android has made me consider going back to my g2 cause it's just so buttery smooth and beautiful. I'm sure the g3 would be world's better if we could just get that boot loader unlocked and customize things even just a little. It would make the community so happy too and the devs would just pour right in to make their own custom roms and port other roms over for us. What's most disappointing about this all though is that LG said they would unlock the boot loader for us, But that was a month ago and you'd think they would come up with something by now. We need to keep some pressure on them and get this stuff out sooner rather than later.

I just really hope this doesn't turn into a galaxy s4 debacle where there will never be custom roms for certain variants... That's the whole reason I moved to my g2 in the first place and I like my g3 so much it would be painful to have to leave a great phone again.

[G3 General] wase4711:
I'm not sure if its a "korean" thing, but companies are less likely to help unlock their software going forward, as they see it as a security risk, and EVERYONE is ultra paranoid about Security risks now a days.

And, someone mentioned that 95% of customers don't care about root/unlock/bootloaders etc; I think that number is more like 99%, so the Mfgs. don't care about unlocking for us 1% 'ers...

No worries if they don't unlock it. When a good xda Dev does it it will be more earned that way. Even if its like htc sunshine soff that costs a few bucks I'll def pay for it.
[G3 General] Joao Oliveira:
Stop thinking or trying to pressure LG to give you / us an unlocked boot loader. If they don't want to, you will never get it. This community and others similar represent around 1% if that much, of their phone sales! They couldn't care less about it. Unless some dev. finds a way we will be stuck with stock forever.

Face the reality and stop losing your time thinking you have some sort of influence over a massive company like LG. You don't.

Will purchase 1+1 this weekend and sell g3 asap! Tired of this status qou when it comes to BL unlock and good LG updates. We have 2 devs working on unlock and they r not working hard like u all say.

The devs owe you nothing.. If you had actually bothered to read the g3 sections you would know that 1 of those devs is on a 2 week family vacation..so on that little enlightenment,

Good riddance..

And furthermore

All the rest of you whinning and crying

people that have posted I'm selling or sold my g3 cause the boot loader is locked and the devs that are looking for a exploit or a way to unlock the boot loader didn't quit their day jobs to work on it 24 hours a day

No one really gives a rats butt whether you sold it or are gonna sell it, go and cry in your new phones section cause your mad about something that isn't to your liking on it.

This site is called XDA Dev for a reason

Because its for devs to work thier magic on all the different phones and tablets and share their work to the rest of us.

This thread is exactly why devs stop working their magic and move on to other things..

Not being able to flash ROMs has forced me to do stuff manually. That in itself is a learning experience. About the only thing left to sort out now is the sharpening issue, ive removed bloat, changed OOM setting to my liking, changed the camera, even changed the screen colour intensity by editing the settings.db file. Ive never been a fan of AOSP ROMs on phones like this, they never really work properly despite claims that they do.

Sell your G3, unlock isn't worth waiting for. The Note 4 will take twice as long to unlock. Sell Note 4 for the LG G4, then we'll be right back where we started.

Great! I hear the OnePlusOne is much better than the G3, and it has better devs than me working on it. As an upside to you selling your G3 asap, I won't have to deal with or support your phone when an unlock is released :)

I'm definitely not working hard on the unlock at all. I mean, it's not like I've spent many hours writing root toolkits for you to unlock your phone to screw with it as you please, or done anything noteworthy.

I vote we close the G3 forums, the G3 doesn't matter any more, y'all who can't wait should sell your phones or get a refund and get an iPhone 6 - that's what I'm doing (minus returning my G3, mine will be great once I get it unlocked).

Honestly, so many trolls in the LG G3 forums, holy sh*t.

I just saw this thread here where "Kwongger" is in my opinion a troll, and "jcase" calls him out, "Kwongger" proceeds to flip out.

If kids can't wait for an unlocked bootloader, well then I'm glad they'll be selling the G3 so they won't be posting in the forums anymore. This phone has only been out since May, I got it in July, and plan on keeping it for 2 years before upgrading. Plenty of time to wait for the unlocked bootloader. Plus, with root, you can super customize the stock rom to your liking. Not sure why people think a custom rom + customer recovery is going to be infinitely better then stock rom rooted + customized.
