Of course I've read that it cannot be done now, but is it possible CM11 will work for locked bootloaders in the future? Assuming yes, is it far in the distance or closer than I realize?

i read somewhere that the nexus 1 had a feature built in (hardware fuse?) that when the phone was unlocked? or rooted?? there was no way of relocking it with the stock rom?
does anyone know if this is the case with the evo? or will we be able to relock and reflash the sprint htc stock rom if necessary for insurance purposes, etc?
Thanks!
Due to a technicality, and assuming Sprint/HTC don't change anything prior to the June 4 launch, you will be able to unroot back to stock, as if nothing happened.

Can you confirm flashing the stock image flashes the original bootchain back as well? I took a look inside and I don't happen to see the aboot and other files as well for the stock image.

You sir are awesome! Definitely the biggest progress so far that we have gotten out of all this work. Whoever leaked this for us a BIG thanks to them. Just one step closer to full unlock the way I see it (and one step closer to someone picking up that bounty).
By the way, where did you find that version of CWM? Does it work properly with this Verizon variant and for stock roms as well?

Someone in IRC gave the recovery to me, I don't remember who. I just packed it up for Odin
Seems to work fine. Won't mount internal storage from what I've seen, but meh

Sounds good to me.
A bit off topic now but any word on when Koush is planning to release CWM 6 for US Galaxy S III variants (or specifically VZW I guess)? I see it's already out for i9300.

No idea
I haven't been able to revert from the EC bootchain. Odin complains about the md5 of the LF2 and LG1 bootchains.
Forcing an Odin flash causes aboot to trip the security check.
Update: Got it working, never mind.

What the difference with this and the GS3FSRoot that is posted ?
I was able to obtain root without flashing a full Rom. Is this better? Can this trigger the vzw lockout?

Just a different method. This one gets you custom recovery before root whereas the other gets you root before custom recovery.
You'll pretty much end up in the same place at the end of either one.
How do we upgrade to the latest boot chain? Where do we get it from?

Will this method be harder to patch than the GS3FSRoot or will they both likely be patched easily?
Why would they be patched? Verizon is already taking a beating over the bootloader from Samsung.

I'm already talking to the devs about this and I was trying it earlier but the phone got stuck and wouldn't boot so until I either get or build an ENG kernel for the Verizon variant then this won't work as it needs certain things changed in the kernel first!
So it's at least possible right?

Everything is possible! It just takes someone willing to do it!
If I were willing to try this what would I have to edit to make it work on verizon.. I would have to downgrade but I see that's possible thanks to mr.mike2182 thanks for that. I see its possible on Verizon but nobody has explained how yet

It's not possible to get tethered root on Verizon yet but I'm working on that still.. However, if you need instructions on how to downgrade I posted instructions for that here.

Looking to update my S3 and give it to my mom to use on Total Wireless.
What's the most stable ROM that will require the least amount of tech support from me?
Thanks!
Is it a Verizon (SCH-I535)?
The model does make a difference...

Yes it is. The boot loader is unlocked.

Honestly stable is such a broad word/term. It's truly up to what you feel stable is. I've tested many roms for the S3 and there have been good and bad. But if all the roms I've tried I'd have to say slimkat was without a doubt the most stable
Next to stock it's the next best thing

I personally use TWRP for the bootloader and CM12. 1 for the OS. It works really well for me.

Great. Root/TWRP/all that comes with it is out for the LG V20... H918
but anyone have news, or better, ever try to root the Canadian Version ? (H915)
I'm SOOOO frustrated with Mobile Manufacturer. All I want is a powerfull phone, with the possibility to add storage (sdcard), change the damm battery and the possibility to install custom roms.
But it seems the word out there these days is to avoid those 3 things as much as possible... ARG!!!
Not even the AT&T and Verizon variants have their bootloader unlocked and rooted yet. So it's too early to be frustrated.
Any news on LG-H915?
Unsupported
Also waiting! Had a Note 7 and G5 canadian No Roots for them either!

Could it be based on the fact he's on a different network? I thought by rooting, theres a chance to lose the network unlock? I understand he's using the H915 on Rogers (similar frequency to AT&T I think), so could that be the issue?
Curious as to why the service isn't working if the AT&T variant is working, when supposodly H915 and H910 are "the same".

That's very unfortunate he hasn't been on for 2 days. I would test myself, but this is my daily driver, and I have no dev experience to debug issues that may araise.
Thank you for figuring out how to root, and unlock the BL regardless.
We hope the Dev of the h915 gets back online to provide us any updates on the progress to unlock the BL and root this model. It would be very nice to get them get them ready before Christmas day... but well, I guess we are gonna have to wait a bit longer. I know that most of us promise a nice donation if we get there anytime soon. This won't be forgotten for sure.
While root is nice and this is my first device I've used that doesnt have root remember to weigh the pros and cons. With no current method to revert you may lose out on any future otas and be stuck forever on your current android version. Personally I am in no rush although i am curious about it working for the 915. If there ever is a revert method i would be more inclined to try rooting
i actually find it a positive thing to stay in a known good version of android where things works.
I've noticed with each never version of android, things keeps getting locked down more and more.
I never went for Apple because of its lock down policy, and now Google is slowly becoming another Apple, trying to lock down the phones so people have no freedom of choice to tinkle around with their ROM, just all in the name of keeping Dev happy, because they claim when user has too much power, then their work is not safe. (by that they mean they can't milk money dry to the end users, if end users have the ability to hack)
