Don't think anyone knows but i hope they get it.
Don't know either but my fingers are crossed. My guess is that aosp is a little too "open" for Verizon's likes.

Verizon likes to junk up their phones with all kinds of bloatware.
verizon LTE + nexus would be a smash hit...

Agreed. Verizon won't pass up a chance for extra revenue that Blockbuster & similar crapware can generate.

They bent over backwards for Apple because they have been kicking themselves since they passed on the iPhone the first time. They saw the chance to steal a big amount of AT&T iPhone users and jumped. Now if they actually stole a lot of AT&T iPhone users is a different matter. I don't think they stole that many so far. I think when the next iPhone comes out, they will see a big influx.

What do you mean? Google phones are MADE for rooting and flashing custom ROMs.... and in fact the Nexus 1 and Nexus S both have CM7.

I said what I said because Verizon changed their closed ways for a iphone... Not sure why they wouldn't do it for an Android phone. The nexus phones are sellers as well and if they really want to take away users from all carriers (not just at&t) they need to have one in their line up.
They will be able to take advantage of having the fastest network (while they still can) with a 4G nexus phone.
Talk about killing it! They would rape the competition having an iPhone and a 4G nexus phone.
The time is now if they are smart.

Motorola has definitely heard our out cries about the BL and still haven't done anything. Which makes me think they aren't ever going to. for instance, on their Facebook page they will post something such as, "what is your favorite tv show" and over 50% of the comments are completely unrelated. And those unrelated comments are about unlocking the bootloader.

Kind of stupid if you ask me... the A2 is underrated in the market and didn't have a very successful launch. Only reason I got it was because I loved the first one, and I am happy with this one as well. Motorola would make good money if they unlocked bootloaders and wouldn't have to replace as many handsets if they already came unlocked.. or maybe I'm missing something? Their marketing team has to be smarter than that.

The carrier has some say but ultimately it's up to whoever makes the phones... and Motorola keeps saying that we're going to have unlocked bootloaders but how long has the A2 been out and nothing? That's why people are going to Samsung, easier to mess around with. If I pay for something I wanna be able to use it to it's full potential! But I hate Samsung so I'll remain with my atrix for the time being. And if by the time I can upgrade I don't have an unlocked bootloader or a newer Motorola android w unlocked bootloader then I am going to iPhone (if there's a jailbreak for the 5 by that time).

I was absolutely stoked to upgrade to the S3 until the locked bootloader news hit. So now I ask, with Android 4.1 on the GNEX, is it really worth the extra $50 for another locked Verizon phone? Its got a lot of cool gimmicky features, but they are just that, gimmicky. I don't see anything I'd use on a daily basis in the S3 that isn't on the GNEX already, or has a Port for. It sucks I already bought a micro SD card, and loaded it up, so I can't return it. I really don't like not having an SD card, but I might be willing to sacrefice that for an unlocked phone. What's everyone's thoughts on this? Coming from a Droid X I have little hope the SGS3 will be unlocked.

how easy is the work around? I know MOTO had a few and I got sick of jumping through hoops. I have yet to be able to get my DX into CWM without rebooting several times, or general screwing around for 20 minutes. Its the main reason I dropped custom ROM's. Flashing was a nightmare.

Say what you will about the SG3 radio... But I have never dropped a call or had a 4G outage since I purchased it on launch day. My Nexus however was a completely different story. The Nexus will give you a new rom to play with every night, but the GS3 will give you fewer headaches in the signal and battery departments.

I totally agree. There's a large bounty for getting this thing unlocked. It will be soon. Just be patient. Speaking of, where did the bounty thread move to?
Good bye HTC Rezound, hello Galaxy S3!
Even if the bootloader dont get unlocked, ill be happy using the kexec method...other than the extra 30 seconds boot time, I see no difference. Also our current flashig methods dont trip the flash counter since were Not flashing non-stock firmware in odin!

I had an Epic Touch (on Sprint) and went to a Galaxy Nexus (on Verizon) then a S3 and IMO it's a huge upgrade. I absolutely love this phone and wouldn't even consider going back to a GNex. The only thing I don't like is the physical home button but a stable AOKP will resolve that. As for the locked boot loader I was a little concerned too but with Kexec it's irrelevant. They already have CM9/CM10/AOKP running on this phone. I'd rather just use Kexec knowing I can return to stock then void warranty with a bootloader unlock. JMO!
Both are great phones, I have the GS3 and my old man has the Nexus. Touchwiz isn't too bad if you get use to it.
DO NOT ACCEPT OTA UPDATES!
if you like to hack and mod that is. If ralekdev and other devs find an exploit for boot loader unlock chances are it will be in the release firmware. Remember Loki on the S4. How many of you still have that?

I wish I could be done with VZW. Wish wish wish.. I just need the the coverage. I'm so tired of them. The only time I have to deal with them is when I have exchange a defected device.. Which happens every time I buy one but it's enough. I pay $90 a month for unlimited data/txt and 450 minutes. So I'm happy about that. Oh yeah, I deal with them when I want control of my device. They don't want me (or anyone) to have it.

The only update I've ever dealt with was last year with my S4 when it upgraded from the MDK baseband. I don't remember the original one, but I remember I lucked out big time and when I ruined my phone and got a new one when I turned it on it basically almost immediately did an OTA to which I put in airplane mode to stop. Now I'm not 100% sure but I don't remember having to click yes or OK for that OTA

But if people have already accepted OTA before now, they are OK, right? Because this exploit is very new so I doubt it would've been fixed before that. The first fix I see for linux was on June 4th and I have no idea how that translates to phone OTAs

Most likely you are correct. The OTA they have been pushing is older so it's likely that the exploit will still work. I wouldn't accept any at all however if you can avoid it. I'd imagine they'll push the patch for this soon.
How do we know if our phones have the update already? I got a new s5 and have had zero Ota pop up since I got it 3 weeks ago.
