Hi Developers,
Just curious to know, does the availability of Kernel source open the way for much awaited root without unlocking the bootloader?
Got curious as the availability was announced on 27th but we did not see any hint of possible developments for Z3.
Please pardon my impatience

Hello, everyone!
Just wanted to tell you guys to calm down. System updates are always late.
If there is a possibility for unlocking bootloader on Sony's site, than the update will definitely be.
Even if it won't be 4.3, we will be able to create customs, such as MIUI, Cyanogenmod, or port roms from other phones.
You just dont know how to wait!
Yeah. I don't care much if there's no 4.3 update. I just want our device's bootloader can be unlocked
Totally agree with you guys. Especially now that Android 4.4 is already available for other MT6589 devices, who really needs 4.3? And now that Sony is already issuing unlock codes, hopefully the next update will result in the much awaited bootloader unlock "yes" status.

Hhmmm.....
I don't care about Android 4.3 update, what I want from Sony that they just unlock the boot loader
and then we can then create Custom Roms for Xperia C...
So just a quick simple question that a lot of you already probably know. I know that running a OTA takes away root, but does it lock the bootloader too?
I tried searching but was unable to find the answer in the scenario of running an OTA with NOT rooted but UNlocked bootloader. I know an OTA does not lock the bootloader on a Nexus device from my own experience with Nexus's. However my question is mainly for Samsung, HTC, LG, and Motorola devices if I plan to root one of them in the future.

Hi, Thank for using XDA assist
There is a general forum for android here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help where you can try to ask to get expert's help.
Good luck.
Hello Guys. I am from Pakistan. You guys doing a great job and i almost find every solution from this site. I have motorola xt926 device with few modification. But now i really need to flash custom rom but i am not able to do because of locked bootloader. I search everywhere in this forum but i really disappointed with all you great developers here cant able to give solution for unlock the bootoader. its been 1 year and 6 months of kernel release date but cant find any solution yet.
Any solution will be appreciated... And you guys doing really a great job...
Nobody has been able to find any way to unlock the bootloader on devices with that date. They have been trying very hard for a year and a half, and most developers have now moved on to different devices.
Sorry, you cannot unlock the bootloader. Verizon made it impossible.
Yes you are right. Its been really hard to find some solution. But as per developer here i think it is not impossible. Just the reason is that developers are moved to new devices.
Ive heard here on forum that sunshine bootloader unlock can work.. I dont confirmed that but u can
I've had this phone rooted for a while now, and I've decided I'd like to install a custom rom if possible. CyanogenMod is the name I see tossed around the most often, so that is what I figured I'd look into. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry but the bootloader has not been unlockable yet by any devs for the AT&T version of the V10. If you have the European version or the T-Mobile version you can unlock the bootloader, however. There is a tiny glimmer of hope yet to come if you don't have the Euro or TM versions.
A 9-year-old bug called the "Dirty Cow" exploit still exists in the Linux/Android kernel can easily grant root on any Android phone!!! See the video below.

So there's another bug to exploit for root and even possibly unlocking the bootloader! The bug has been fixed recently in Linux but hasn't been rolled into Android yet. If anyone can get this working on my AT&T LG V10 (running Marshmallow) I'll give a reward of $50! Plus you'll be my hero! Now get crackin!
Not sure about Cyanogenmod but I found this weblink that refers to it bing possible to install roms.

It Links to some posts here on XDA so thought it best to just post 1 link so you can look through them as you wish.
Hi all,
I recently purchased a G930T reset back to stock, and I installed and set up the device stock ROM; I was surprised by how smooth and snappy it is stock coming from an S5.
After using the search function on this forum, perusing many old threads, as well as google, I have gotten the impression with the current updated stock ROM, there is no reliable way to safetly root a G930T at present with the 2018 software, is this correct?
And will things remain this way, until Samsung decides to release the source code for the bootloader? IE, if Samsung never releases the source code, does this mean the G930T will never be rootable?
Thanks in advance from anyone more knowledgeable on the topic, cheers
