Petitions to unlock bootloader on the AT&T Samsung Galaxy s5​

I'd like to have control over my phone because I paid a lot of money for it. I'd like to install a cleaner/faster ROM without all of the bloatware that comes stock. Android is an OPEN SOURCE mobile operating system, we should not be locked down from improving the quality of our smartphones. I have found some petitions that put effort into making it possible to give us our right to have our bootloaders unlocked.

Advantages of an unlocked bootloader:

# Developers will make a wide selection of custom ROMS and Kernels that will improve the speed of the phone, these can't be installed until our bootloader is unlocked.

# Rooting the phone will become a lot easier.

# With root access we can overclock our CPU to make the phone faster.

Disadvantage to an unlocked bootloader:

# IF you don't follow instructions to flashing correctly you can permanently brick your device. This is not a problem if you know what you're doing and/or follow directions very carefully.

#2 Change.org petition for all androidsmarphones/tablets/etc

If anybody knows of anymore let us know in the comments!!

DISCLAIMER NOTES

## NEVER FLASH A ROM ON YOUR PHONE IF IT IS NOT MADE FOR YOUR SPECIFIC MODEL UNLESS THE DEVELOPER SAYS IT IS OKAY.

## i AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES YOU MAY CAUSE TO YOUR PHONE, OR ANYTHING ELSE.

Good luck. I did the same thing. And nothing. Golden rule, he who has the gold makes the rules. Att has the gold in this case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dylan07:
You're probably right, but just putting in an effort here. I'm hoping that the FCC finds this similar to carrier locking, they changed the laws for carrier locking because of petitions: http://www.fcc.gov/device-unlocking-faq

i actually just today put a complain on at&t's facebook page about use wanting a bootloader unlocking tool like with htc phones. i have heard no reply yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Face_Plant:
I wouldn't expect one. I've complained on their page multiple times and the only thing that came of it was getting blocked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] UnhoIy:
There's not enough demand for anyone to put any effort into freeing our bootloader. These petitions have been up for months and haven't reached the minimum requirements. Just get used to TW ROMs or don't support either AT&T or Samsung with the next phone you get and go the Stock Android path.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GDofWR420:

I signed it. My signature by itself means nothing. My signature along with many others may help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
I'm merely going to point this out, Complaining to ATT for a tool to unlock the bootloader is the wrong place to complain, it is HTC that provides the way to unlock the BL you would need to post that complaint on the Samsung webpage or facebook page

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] thepktrckt:
AT&T won't provide a tool for the unlocking but I'm quite confident they are the ones that asked for it as other network providers offer unlocked phones. I believe the S5 from T-Mobile is unlocked and the international is unlocked. A complaint to Samsung might push them to play hardball with AT&T like HTC and I believe Motorola have so really complaining to both is the best route. I hold out little hope for a change in stance but maybe the pummeling by Apple will help change minds.

I'm curious to find out if this is possible, because Windows Phone 8.1 is extremely lacking in software, and multitasking. So, could it be done? I'm asking about KitKat because it can easily run on 512MB of RAM. I'm not new to flashing devices.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanishpruthi:
I have a xt1033 conveted to gpe edition! On installing custom roms, my mic is not working in viber and hangouts( Calling featue) too! I can only hear the other persons voice! While the mic is working in normal calls! Where as in stock( gpe edition ) everything is working fine! Please people give me a suggestion- What should I do?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Siclight:
I have this issue as well, regular moto g (3g no micro sd). Running the latest CyanogenMod niggles. Hangouts does the same thing to me. Haven't tried viber yet, skype seems to work fine.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wh00p:
Having this same issue as well, it's so odd. Literally EVERY rom other than stock has this issue. A couple avenues I've explored:

Another thread suggested replacing the audio_policy.conf in /system/etc with an alternate one but this did not help. As a second test I have replaced the stock audio_policy.conf with the one from SlimKat on the stock rom and it didn't make it stop working, so I guess I have exhausted this potential solution.

Another theory I have read is that Hangouts may be attempting to use the noise-cancelling microphone instead of the correct one, which is resulting in the null outgoing audio during calls. I am not sure how to adjust this.

I'm going to have a look at comparing config files from the stock rom and a custom one but I don't have much hope and I'm sure there will be a ton of differences to sort through. I really hope this gets figured out because stock roms make me feel icky.

All the best, friends.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wh00p:
Well, after much tiresome digging, I've finally found the solution. I was searching for "hangouts" but the solution post was obscured by Hangouts not being mentioned and also appearing to only apply to Lollipop, but it works on every KK rom I've tried:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ubernub:
For my very first app I've decided I want to make a camera that recalibrates the phone camera to compress the entire detectable range of light into the visible spectrum, creating a false color image that allows the user to see and photograph things normally outside the visual spectrum.

Long term I'd like to create three filters, one that only displays near infrared, one that only displays ultraviolet, and one that let's colorblind users recalibrate the spectrum to ranges they can see.

I've been programming professionally for nearly two decades and have done a few android development tutorials, but this'll be my first android app I'm making without instructions. I must admit I'm a bit lost. Where should I start?

In addition to apps in general, how would you go about getting the raw camera output (not the final image output which seems to be RGB) so that it could be manipulated?

Hi, Anyone know of a camera that can shoot high speed on Tab S?

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lou_Beat:
hello,

i read every single thread related to this yesterday and i had to come to the conclusion that my KF hd is really hard bricked.

i followed a step by step instruction on youtube how to install android 4.4 on the device.

the result is that my KF hd won't show any motion no matter what i do. also tried to use a factory cable, no reaction.

i surely know this is caused by a software error because it occurred while doing this

and the access to the memory inside the device is not possible anymore.

now here is my question: is it possible to do any soldering to achieve access to the memory to fix the software issues from "outside"?

maybe someone has any experience with this. i saw a guide on fixit.com but it was not related to the internal memory.

thanks in advace!
