We need to make all the retail versions, developer versions by unlocking the bootloader!
Keep wishing on unlocked bootloader.
Maybe one day, when the stars align, someone will crack it. I badly miss AOSP .

They never did it for the s4 so I'm not guessing it's not going to happen here either... I was lucky enough to have an mdk version.

Hello everyone,
I have a SCH-I535 running 4.4.2 that I bricked last night after running ez-unlocker (attempting to modify the bootload) and just got it back to work after using a debrick image... I would like to know if it is possible to downgrade back to JB 4.1.2? and if so how will accomplish this since it is not letting me bypass the odin process due to a recovery failed error...
Thank you very much!

Wait a week or so. I had an idea the other day and we are just now trying to put it to the test. It may unlock the bootloader, who knows! The method works on Motorola phones with the Qualcomm msm8960 chips. And guess what. The s3 has the same chip. And the exploit was directed towards that chip.

Still testing and digging! But I feel like our efforts are fruitless, as I am no developer and I feel like my friend and I's ideas have been thought of and tested and failed. I do not want to bring any hopes up. But it's starting to look more and more possible. Just be patient

That link has been posted in these forums before. That downgrade only works on the i9300 international version, not the i535 Verizon version. The screenshot in the article you linked even shows the about phone as the i9300. This article you linked is from 8 months ago. If this worked on the Verizon version it would have been all over these forums. The article you linked even mentions how trying this process resulted in hard bricks on the AT&T version. Anyone trying this on the Verizon version will suffer the same fate.

You posted a link without even reading the details contained inside? Not a good practice. Plenty of new people who would read your description, click on the link, follow the suggestion contained in the article without also looking into the details, and brick their phone. I removed the link from my quote of you. You may want to consider removing the link from your previous post. Just saying.

Hey guys, so i got my S3 today and wanted to know if my boot loader was unlocked or not. Please let me know if an app that does that or not. Also, if there was a way of telling the phone is unlocked or not . Cheers, thanks.

Which android version is installed? VRUCML1 and VRUCNC1 4.3 are bootloader locked and so is VRUDNE1 4.4.2. No XDA exploit exists to unlock the bootloader on these firmware. Only way is to pay a $50 fee to MobileTechVideos to downgrade the firmware then unlock the bootloader.

If you power off the device, then power it back on, you should see the words "Samsung" first. If they stay on the screen for more than 2 seconds, then it's locked down. If it flashes by almost instantly, then you're unlocked.

Any thoughts as to if this will work on the retail version? I doubt it since the boot loader is locked but it doesn't hurt to ask.

I've tried flashing both 22nd and 23rd ROMs for the kltevzw on my Developer Edition with TWRP 2.8.0.1 but I get and error it says "This package is for device: kltevzw ; this device is klte FAILED" Is it because I've had cm11 klte installed all this time and now my phone this ks it is klte. Or could it be because TWRP doesn't flash Verizon Roms but I have flashed TW Roms from the Unified Section. Maybe TWRP is not fully compatible with the Verizon Developer Edition.
Would these ROMs brick a retail version?

I have a dev edition, by why would you guys even bother to flash cyonogenmod on this phone when you know you're gonna get a million bugs that won't get fixed and I bet a million dollars you're all going to upgrade phones before they fix them. Waist of this precious time we have on earth

The method is the EXACT same as it was on KitKat for both Sprint AND T-Mobile (as well as the Verizon Dev Edition). About a million guides were posted before. A quick search will bring them up.

Following your thread. I'd like to know the same. There are two roots on the verizon forum. One says it's for developer edition only. And then the other doesn't say and no one is responding to my question in it.

Hey guys sorry for you not getting an answer, there are options for root and recoveries, but you do need to convert the device to developer version first. The process isn't too hard and can be found here for marshmallow devices and here for lollipop devices. Hit the thanks button on those threads if those developers helped and if you need help with carrying out the unlock of the bootloader so you can root, then you can hit me up
