Could we have in your opinion a valid bootloader exploit, or an hw exploit to free this damn bootloader ?
If you look at g2....several people have looked at this bootloader and said it looks the same so the using of patched kernel and other may help just Need for people to get the us versions and get the info we Need ...the guys that have won the t mobile ones Need to get a adb Dump and then the guys can start thinking about recovery

Keep in mind on the g2 the patched kernels were not what allowed to have custom recovery with kitkat, the patched kernels were just modified stock kk kernels with the needed information to allow us to boot the kk system/modem/etc with the older already exploitable jb bootloader and it each g2 variant had a specific jb bootloader that needed to be used it couldn't be just any jb bootloader; on another note it maybe true that they are similar but it also turns out the g3 gas 2 bootloaders not one like every other device so that has to be looked into to see how they interact with each other

I can't find any statements about the bootloader being locked or unlocked on Sprint, only that Verizon's is locked. Does anyone know for sure? I don't want to get stuck on a phone I can't modify.

Well sprint hasn't done it, and for sure Samsung doesn't do it, so I'm gonna go ahead and say no its not locked. Verizon is a **** that way.
There is already root for this device. Check the original development thread
Sent from my SPH-L900
Root and bootloader unlock are two different things. I havn't check the dev section but from what I heard the root was for the pre-release ROM, since then Sprint have change the firmware and the current root method doesn't work.
As far as the bootlocker concern, getting bootloader unlock means you can install custom ROM which have different kernel. Say you want a custom rom with Android 4.2 earlier than Sprint release or stuff like cifs module or overclock and etc, then you would need bootloader to be unlocked on the phone.
boot load is unlocked and root is for todays release. chain and i worked on it all night for yas.

Does the Note 2 have the Exynos source out? Aka do developers have full access to the Exynos processor?
Or will there be problems for custom roms? (I heard without the source custom roms would be buggy or not full featured)

Make that 3! I have a base made for this device. I just need a damn recovery to add to it so I can release it! lol
Why not just wait until HTC puts the stock recovery on their support page?
The device just came out 2 months ago, i do not think anyone will be willing to tinker with their device at the risk of bricking it when its so new..
What exactly do you guys need?

Thing is, you can't. You need at least temp root to pull the kernel or recovery. Stupid HTC encrypted their RUU so we can't just pull the file out.

We need a person to teamviewer with us so we can pull boot.IMG ( to make an unsecure boot IMG that gives you root ) and recovery. IMG ( so me or another fellow dev I know can make a custom recovery ) so this way development sparks.

Good news to read, ill be happy to flash and try your tweak rom
Is there a specific reason for the absence of custom roms based on stock KK for the LS980? Or based on other device but made for the LS980...?
Is something in particular holding devs back?
I would really like to try some of the G Pro II ports... or maybe an updated justins rom KK...
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk
Don't quote me on this but I believe it has to do with kernel issues. I'm running stock rooted ZVC but savoca had to make a special file to be able to keep twrp and still load the rom
Sent from my LG-LS980 using xda app-developers app
Its not kernel issues its more of getting a custom recovery on the phone after the kit kat update LG blocked an exploit used to install and use recoveries like TRWP. It gives you a verification issue when you try booting to recovery im pretty sure thats the main reason. Having said that there are ways to get around it but i believe you have to have ubuntu which half the people cant get and the process is so risky many users reported soft bricking and hard bricking their devices and at the moment rooting is about as far as you can go after kit kat our phones basically took on "samsung knox" in LGs form

There are also simpler ways to install twrp but then your kernel breaks and you have to flash something else which eventually breaks twrp so you are stuck at stage 1 all over again

Then do it. Show us your mad dev skillz. Because obviously you know what needs to be done. You don't even need to completely customize the rom. Just port a different one like the ones your interested in.
Or do just part of the work to help the others out. Compile a new kernel so that we don't need to use stock. Release your hack to make it so we don't break download mode when we make it still possible to bypass loki. Get real creative and make the ZVC radio work on Jellybean!
And if you don't feel like doing the actual work to get it working, why don't you get involved in the threads where they are talking about issues, and help out the ones that ARE doing the work. Jump on IRC and give them a heads up on how you fixed it so they can put release it for everyone to use.
And your sig says your on an LG-D801, so nothing here would work for your phone anyway!
Yeah.. i tried once and got stuck at the part to download sources... but thats not hat i mean. Im asking this. Because devs said that once a kernel and sourco came out they would make a patch. Obviously something is different for us that this patch hasn't been possible for us... if it was as simple as they thought it would have been done already.
But i dont think the recovery problems are delaying this. Or are they? Maybe they are to prevent bricks? But ive seen plenty of devs release either way with obvious disclaimers only for advanced users.

You obviously missed my point. The point was, if it was possible with the current state of the phone, there would be at least THREE out by now (stock rooted, Optimus, and d3rp). Since you don't see those 3 released yet, that means that there are other issues. So if you can fix those issues, let the community know how to fix them. If you can't fix the issues, then be patient and realize that all threads like this do is annoy the people that are working hard trying to fix them. Because it comes off as being very ungrateful and demanding of people that are volunteering their time to make things better for everyone. If you can help, do it. If you can't help, be patient.
Update. I memtioned that im on justiins rom, well thats because i use my ls980 for tmobile. Well i decided to flash cloudyproii 1.2 after following the autoboot instuctions specified by the person who uploaded the zvc tot. And saw no harm so i backed up everything and wiped everything and flashed cloudy then flashed s avocas ls980 kernel then autoboot again. Then i had to wipe cache again and it boot up. And its running great. The only thing is i cant currently record at 120fps or 4k.... but this rom is great.

I was really wanting a custom rom, but with the xposed modules and Furnace kernel, i'm getting most of just about all the customization I'd get anyway.
The thing is that with the Sprint rom it is so much hassle to use with gsm. That's why I used Justin's first. And now this cloudyproii. Rom is great.

Hey guys,
I've got a Galaxy S4 on T-mobile in the UK, with the build XXUEMKF. Its Rooted but its running stock JellyBean 4.3 Ive not taken any OTA updates as im looking to install a safestrapped Custom Rom. Just needed some help to make sure I don't soft brick the phone lol.
Im looking to install the Deadly Venom V3.0.2 KitKat SafeStrapped edition in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45657764&postcount=4
Few noob questions though if anyone could help me..
1) The thread title says its for the AT&T version but Im on t-mobile UK, is this going to be a problem or would it still work without bricking the phone?
2) Its got 2 different install instructions, one for people who have the Mk2 build and another process for people with the Nb1 build. I have neither, I have the MKF build..Can I still install this rom on my S4? If so, should I follow the instructions for the Mk2 Method?
3) Im running Stock JellyBean 4.3 right now, can I still install this safestrapped rom or do I need to do an OTA update to the latest KitKat update? Kies says the latest update I can do is Nb3 apparantly?
I hope someone can give me some simple answers to this, Im quite confused. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks guys
You can flash from 4.3. I'm on MK5 bootloader t mobile and I just clean flashed with no problems so far

My g2 (Verizon) never had the bootloader unlocked, and there was a workaround using loki. Is this something that we can expect from the g3(also Verizon)?
for a rom no.... for a rom and KERNEL yes you do..

Expanding on that, on the g2 it was necessary to keep the version 10d bootloader if you updated to anything higher. I was running kit kat with the jellybean bootloader. I don't really know how to do it. It was included with autorec's install of twrp recovery.
Since the first versions of g3 software have bootloader patched for loki, there is nothing to revert back to.
