Do you think the p76* will get unlocked boot loader and/or new OS updates through OTA?

These reps are referring to the unlocking to make it GSM capable not the unlocking of the bootloader.
Droid life has stated that to be false..Verizon won't be unlocking boot loader.
Why don't people look into it more before posting.
Hey guys, just recently had to unroot the S3 due to some minor hardware issues. I flashed the stock Rom and all with mobile Odin and was even able to update with the ota.
Is there a way to check to make sure the bootloader is locked without having to unroot again? Have a feeling I missed a step but just want to be sure.

Of the Samsung screen flashes by very quickly at boot then it means you are unlocked.

If you did a ota then your bootloader is locked iirc. Which version did you flash with odin? I think the F2 is the only version that doesnt relock but i could be wrong. But as suggested if the samsung logo goes away real quick at boot you are unlocked.

I flashed the rom they had from stockrooms.net, so I'm guessing it was one of the first roms the S3 had. It seems like I'm locked since it did an OTA twice (one I manually allowed then another one automatically) and the Samsung logo doesn't just flash by.
As x714x posted, if you accepted an OTA then your bootloader is locked.

The HD stock build is the only one that wipes everything.

Just unlock again using EZ Unlock 1.2 to be safe. It will not hurt anything to unlock it if it is already unlocked.

Its not a xt1028 its the boost variant. But running the Verizon stock few for page plus. No custom Roms work for page plus without enabling roaming so I'm stuck with vzw stock. Let me know if it is possible

If you wanted you can go to the stock rom page and use the verizon rom as the source.

But that's just an idea, I have no idea if that would help.
Would this recovery be compatible with official ota? From what I've seen or read it is necessary to return to stock recovery or else...sorry if a dumb question

If you are asking if you can take the ota with a custom recovery installed, the answer is no.

Yes that was the gist...but how come when I return to my backup stock 4.1.2 before cwm 6.0.4.9 when I would check for firmware updates (stock) the message was along the lines of not recognized unable at this time whilst now it says phone is up to date...as if on stock recovery?

I can't explain that. The updater acts screwy some times for no good reason.

My current ROM is this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591895
When I first switched to that ROM i did so to not lock the bootloader. I am trying to keep the bootloader unlocked but I would like to switch ROM, because as of late it has gotten sluggish with many random restarts. Does anyone know of a ROM that I can try out that will not lock the bootloader?

Any of the 4.3 ROMs that are compatible with ML1 firmware will work. MOAR, Wicked's etc.
But do they lock the boot loader? Like Alliance ROM for example

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
None of the 4.3 ROMs in the Android Development section will lock your bootloader.
