That is a fair reason. I would be reluctant to buy any new phone with a locked bootloader, now the the exploits seem to be getting more difficult to find. I'm lucky enough to have the exploitable MDL bootloader on my S4, and quite honestly this phone does everything that I want, so I'll be keeping it and skipping the 2014 models.
I'm not on at&t but from the amount of screwing around you guys have to do with the s4 you would have to absolutely retarded to grab an at&t s5. And the last thing xda needs is more complainers complaining about how their bootloader is locked. The easiest thing is to buy another carrier phone unlock it and use it on at&t
Gonna wait and see if we see a Nexus 6 or something later this year. Not an HTC fan at all and the locked bootloader is getting old.

Crap, just got done transferring about 20GB of data to my card... backup... grumble grumble.
Oh well, to have root explorer working and be able to delete the bloatware, it's totally worth it.
Yessssssssss
Cant wait to get started when I get home later today.
Bah, too early I guess. I don't want to flash an old firmware.

And this surprises you why? Not to worry, if they could make a bootstrap recovery for the Droid X, they can make one for this phone.
It just surprises me that HTC did it

with every other manufacturer doing this, it was only a matter of time
It's a signed Bootloader... HTC doesn't lock their stuff down like Motorola does...Be patient guys. You'll get the goodies

You seem to have missed the news that every HTC phone had a locked bootloader when it shipped.
they already cracked the bootloader! S-OFF!

We cannot unlock it by rooting it?

This would not work for this?

Wait 6 months from when you bought the phone, call att and ask to talk to supervisors a few times, say you're going out of the country and hey should give you one assuming you've been with them for a while and are in good standard payment wise

Does the s3 come with an unlocked bootloader? I think I've seen that you can buy it unlocked. Just got my s3 this Christmas and came from the droid x2 that always had a locked bootloader. I've got a lot of learning to do if the bootloader is unlocked.

One rooted, you can unlock bootloader and install recovery by using playstore apps "Ez-Recovery" and "Ez-unlock"

Sweet thanks. Also I'm aware that the American version has a dual core processer and 2GB of ram compared to the international version which has a quad core and 1GB of ram. His would this affect performance between these devices?

I made the same jump... x2 to the s3. Quite the jump huh?
my tapatalk signature sucks more than yours.
Yes I am absolutely loving the s3. The x2 had so many problems. Was out less than a year and Motorola stopped updating it. And the bootloader was locked. And there was but only 1 trusted Rom for it. Motorola provided absolutely no support. I'm glad I'm with Samsung now.

If you are already on JB which you most likely are you need to follow this guide
If you are starting with a new phone with JB pre-installed then the previously posted guide is the way to go.

For starters I believe we should be able to get things like IR support and all the little extra features that usually only TW based roms could offer.
It might also help Dan or some other dev to completely unlock the bootloader.

Well since the source is released I believe devs can truly fix the weird screen issues we have (smearing and all)
And it might help with a bootloader unlock
also pure samsung kernels which should have better stability and speed
So could devs use the TW camera app with other Roms?

No because that requires the touchwiz framework.
We might see some hybrid Touchwiz/CM 10.1 Roms...

Dont get your hopes up in regards to bootlader unlock, that requires the signature keys, which has nothing to do with the kernels.

True true but it might help Dan understand more about the device and possibly work around it. Yea odds are it won't help but its always nice to be hopeful now that AT&T is officially about to shut down loki

hmm does warranty repair flash new updates when they fix your device?
also, means launch era GS4's should command a nice premium very soon.

Depends. If you send it to AT&T you bet they will patch for security. If you're using third party insurance I would just request they don't or at least ask if they do so you can plan for it or something, not that that would help :/
While it won't initially, you can bet people will be greedy and make you pay extra for day one models that are not patched but in reality it should only be like a 50$ premium at most. There are plenty of smart phones out there that are about just as good as the S4 that are unlocked, also holiday season will bring about plenty of competing phones and friendlier bootloaders.

The only variant that can currently unlock their bootloader is tmobile. There are threads on this topic and rooting it.
Otherwise there is a bounty for Att and verizon.
I love Verizon but i really hate that they lock their phones down so tight. Let us have our fun. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before something pops up.
Would this root work for F600K?
