Bootloader check!!! - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, can someone tell me please, how i can check if my bootloader is locked or unlocked?!?

I would also like to know, just purchased my LG G 3 Verizon

I think the standard way is to take a dump of the bootloader and disassemble it using an ARM disassembler.
Then, examine the assembly code for a signature checking function, and if present, check the callers/return value to see if the signature is verified to allow booting upon a mismatch.

If you bought your phone from T-Mobile, the bootloader is unlocked. If you bought your phone elsewhere, your bootloader is locked.
Based on your signature, I'm assuming you bought a D855. Here's the bounty thread (temporarily locked) for unlocking its bootloader.

Other android phones would get unlocked by simply rooting the device :s

No, you need S-OFF, and that is not available for One X.

Don't be too sad, it only costs a few quid and takes a few hours, tops.
Unless you're one of the unlucky few that it doesn't work for, but cross that bridge if it happens.

You could always try the provider where the simlock if from, say you have to go abroad for a while and want to use a local simcard for that country your going to.

Are there chances that the unlock code won't work? :s

There are a small number of operators for which it doesn't work. It's a very small chance, and from what I hear, getting a refund from a reputable SIM unlock code provider is painless.

[APP] Timely Alarm Clock

Recently covered by the Androidpolice, I think that this is the most polished alarm I've used to date. It is definitely worth a try.
It has a smart wake feature, along with a very clever UI that vaguely reminds me of Ubuntu OS. Needless to say, it's neat.
Also, there is a share for premium option that I am shamelessly exploiting.
USE A CODE FROM POSTERS BELOW and get a theme for free!

I am also able to enter someone else's code, helping them to unlock Premium for free.

I wish you could merge the interface of Timely with the wake tones of Warmly.
It's really quite pleasant. I look forward to waking with it

Warranty void

What would make the ZL void it's warranty...is it rooting or unlock the boot loader...
Can Sony knows that we root the device...is their anyway to hide that...if like a faulty phone and want to claim warranty and already change from root to normal again...can they detect that...

The only way to make the warranty work is to wipe your phone and install the stock Sony firmware

I don't think so but they can detect it if you send over the device.

If we unlocked the bootloader using Sony official way, doesn't Sony knows it...like Htc unlocked their bootloader...

AT&T E980 finally getting official kitkat?

Found this link today while googling for updates.

Is anyone getting this yet? :fingers-crossed:
Seems legit.
Seems like the real deal..time to keep hitting the software update button..if anybody gets it, pls update here

FINALLY!!!!
A good update for the guys still with stock ROM, for the rest check out the thread on installing the E988 on the ATT E980 using a simple CWM restore, much more convenient and very close to STOCK LG SOFTWARE, Rooted, no carrier BS, NO CARRIER-IQ, Tethering Enabled etc.....
Have not been happier with the phone, will keep me going another year!
Oh snap I got another email from ATT today. Hells yes.

I hope some devs will pick this up and root it, debloat it so we TMobile users can install it through recovery because only ATT customers on stock roms will see this update notification.

Ok I just got off the phone with a nice lady over at AT&T customer support. She confirmed that the 4.4 KK started rolling out today. And that it isn't released all AT once to everyone. It is released in batches. She wasn't quite sure how they decide who gets it first.. but she assured me it is coming. And the device not registered error we are getting will go away when they push the update to your particular device. So just keep checking for updates every 24 hours.
