Another verizon bootloader thread - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I posted this on the forum but i figure I'd create a thread
I read something about verizon may be pushing an update to make the g3 global ready. Could that be why the bootloader is locked???

Why would you make ANOTHER THREAD?....Did you watch the noob video?
Sent from........Somewhere In Time

[Resolved] [Q] Thanks limit - I'm not getting 8?.

I have noticed lately that my allowed thanks count doesn't really reset at any specific time, it seems completely random. I had some members help me out today and I couldn't thank them this morning, so I went back to those post just now and was only able to thank 3 times before getting the "sorry you are limited to 8 thanks" message. Has anybody else experienced this? Or is there a mod that can tell me what's going on? Am I going crazy? I am confuse.
I don't think they all reset at the same time. They reset one by one 24 hrs after you use each one.

No need to think it, you are correct. Says so on that noob guide which I read every once in a while
Sent from my MB508 using xda premium
Jbrt is totally correct about that. So if you use your first one at 6am, the next day your first one will be available from 6am.
If you use the app you'll get more to use though.

That makes perfect sense! Thank you all, I will be back for y'all once I get some more thanks available. I didn't consider myself a noob but I obviously have missed some things so I'm gonna read the guide you posted and see what else I can learn.
Edit: that was a great read, I didn't know those stars = donations, pretty cool.
I haven't really had a proper read through it myself. I just tend to refer to it when there's something I need to know and I feel it'll be in there.

[PSA] FOR THE LOVE OF GOD Please Stop Flashing International One X ROMS On This Phone

It will NOT work. No amount of hoping and tweaking will make it work.
Yes, I know HTC is confusing you. These phones look the same and have the same name. But the CPU and GPU are different, as is the firmware. There are different sections on XDA for a reason.
Yes, I know there is more development in the International One X forum. It's hard to watch all the progress and not do anything. But there's more development in the Gnex forum. Hell, there's more in the SGS3, and you wouldn't flash a ROM for that phone even though it actually uses the same processor, would you?
If you try, the best you can hope for is a bootloop. At worst, you may hard-brick your phone, because the One X and One XL use different boot partions.
Look, people here want to help, and we understand that weird things happen that may cause your phone to go haywire. But when we see this happening over and over and over and over again, it becomes increasingly difficult to muster up any sympathy, especially when the people doing this really ought to know better.
Okay? Pretty please? The next person who does this is probably just going to get laughed at. Don't be that guy.
UPDATE: On stock 2.20, the boot partiton is write-protected, so flashing an international ROM won't give you a paperweight, but it will fail mid-flash.

With how many people seem to be doing this, I can't say I'm surprised AT&T mandated a locked bootloader.
It would be nice to think that if one can figure out how to root and unlock the bootloader that one could at least understand the difference between the One X models.

One click methods allow newcomers to skip the learning process altogether. Its like jumping ahead to chapter three. If they do brick their phone then just consider it lesson number 1.

Is This One X Rootable And Can The Boatloader Be Unlocked?

I just got another Brand New One X today and it doesn't appear to be updated to the new firmware or at least I don't think so. It has the 1.85 firmware.
So if this is rootable, can someone point me in the right direction on how I root it and unlock the bootloader to flash roms?
Thanks

Maybe because you should know by now to SEARCH before posting. You know how many of these EXACT threads pop up daily? Surely you could have found one and gotten your answers there. But nope, you decided to be lazy and in the process add to the clutter that people have to weed through to find useful information. There is something called forum courtesy, and being a senior member you should be well versed in it. You should also know how to find various things around the forum, especially a root method. You already know your software version, so find the root method that matches your version and BAM! But nope, you'd rather not do any legwork at all. There is a reason we have stickies. But clearly you don't even care to look at them.
Whatever dude...again...if you don't want to help don't post...this could have also been handled through pm as well but it seems like "some members" also want to clutter up threads....
Hmmm
By the way are you a mod? Because if you're not, who gives you the authority to dictate who, when and where someone starts a thread.

My opinion below still stands, there are already a couple threads that, if you used search, most users would find what they need. But, as this thread is covering all the other stuff, I have reopened it.
Trolls and flamers have no place in this thread and will be infracted, no more warnings.
