AT&T One X Never Getting Official Bootloader Unlock?

http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/4/30...-unlock?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
Honestly, AT&T needs to cut the BS.
This is unacceptable.
Time for us devs to start working on an unlock... *sigh*

Well, I was going to wait around until Sunday, but this seals the deal, on my way to AT&T right now.

Thanks, hopefully we can break something out soon. I have to wait till Sunday for mine since its already preordered with no cancellations, but as soon as I get mine I will begin my attempts as well.
Hopefully we can work on getting S-OFF as well. -_-

well, it is going to my wife, the info seems more like speculation still since no one from AT&T or HTC has come out and said directly this is the plan.

HTC provided the quote in the article...

DesignGears, PLEASE STAY. PLEASE, I BEG YOU, PLLLEAAAASSEE ???????? i will do annnnything for you.
also, this is a bit of speculation on our part... at&t could just be holding the boot loader unlock until the phone is actually released. we don't know anything for sure. best bet is to wait until sunday for some news. i also think that we should SPAM THEIR FACEBOOK WALL. I REPEAT: SPAM THEIR FACEBOOK WALL!!!!!!!

Oh come now, DG! You ran off from the Atrix 4g and we got it done! (I was one of the few who didn't get the2dcour in his phone ) Your work is grand. This device is deserving of the AAA treatment, just give it a couple weeks and see how it all plays out!

Just cancelled my pre-order. If and when they ever get around to giving us an unlock or the devs here crack it, I might reconsider. Until then, AT&T can kiss my ass.

Yeah this is just speculation based on something from htcs end. We haven't heard anything from att officially yet
Edit: obviously this is being done by att, by who is to say they won't unlock it after a month or so

Wow..it's like the Atrix all over again

I'm pretty sure they said the same thing regarding the Vivid at first. It eventually got unlocked.

I think its still too early to totally freak out of this. All we have is one very generic quote from HTC and nothing from ATT yet. I think it will get done soon enough, if not... well then we can freak out.

I think it's the perfect time. The Vivid community waited too long and they had to wait 2 months to get an unlock from HTC

You're always welcome back on the "real X" side. HTC UK said on the 2nd the graphics issues were identifed and an update specifically for them (not 1.29) was due soon.
It's kind of an interesting position people find themselves in. With the X you get: funky Nvidia related crap, 32GB of memory, ****ty battery life and an unlocked bootloader. With the XL you get a better SoC, 16GB of memory, LTE, better battery life, tons of AT&T "enhancements," and potentially no way to remove them if the bootloader stays locked. Pick your poison.

Yup. I agree that it's still possible we'll get an unlock (like the Vivid), but no amount of pressure is ever too much. The more we press AT&T and HTC, the better.
They don't really care about our community or our protests. But, like a little pest, they want us out of their hair. If we continue to be pests, they will get frustrated and cede to us.

I think its just a matter of time really. I don't have the ability to do it, and from what I understand OEMs are making it harder and harder to accomplish, but I still have faith it will get done.
Has there been a device that has proven unable to be unlocked yet? I can't think of any.

Some take a look long time for true unlocking, like the HOX. Due for an upgrade, using my nexus 5 off contract ATM. Was debating looking into the g3 but honestly this thread even having to exist reminded me why I stopped getting phones from att after my HOX. looks like an awesome phone though and I wish you guys luck getting a full unlock quickly!

Yeah I kind of feel the same way about my N5. I really has that phone set up the way I wanted it, with awesome performance. I just really hates fighting with the battery life on it tho.
I still enjoy the G3 a lot tho. Its a great phone as well, just not built with the enthusiast in mind I guess.

So... Feelin a little nooby here, but I can't match this build number "VRU1ANCG" with anything I can find. Only able to match the software build number.

T-Mobile Waiting Lounge

Who here is actually getting the v10 from T-mobile? I am 85% Sure at this point. The phone seems nice, great specs not to mention Removable battery, SD card, IR blaster the three scace now on phones.
Can't forget that sweet deal either from LG: Free 200gb sd card, with free battery and cradle
This is how I see it, if not happy with the v10, will still have the 200gb SD card...but by the look of things, I will be happy....I mean, its the first phone I am considering without a case :highfive:.
Whats your thought?
BTW, here seem to be a snag when trying to order straight from t-mobile, it is not allowing some (not sure if all) to place an order through jump. I message t-mobile rep and this is what I found.
Joselito E: Hi Madina!
Joselito E: We appreciate the time and effort for staying in our queue! Thank you so much!
Joselito E: I feel the excitement there that you want to get your phones upgraded. No worries, I can certainly check the other options for us to be able to process an upgrade.
You: thank you, i thought it was just me but others are having the same issue
Joselito E: Yes, because as of the moment, we are having an System Enhancement for us to get a better way to process an upgrade.
You: Oh ok
Joselito E: The estimated time for us to fix it is on 10/30.
You: so we can't upgrade until than?
Joselito E: You can still, just give my colleagues a call from Customer Care Team for us to be able to process for you.
You: oh ok will do
Joselito E: You may call my colleagues at 1-800-937-8997 or 611 from your T-Mobile phone.
Joselito E: Would there be any other things that I missed?
You: No that is it thank you
Joselito E: You're most welcome! Again, this is Joselito E. Your account specialist. I hope we are able to get some feedback coming from you soon. You may have a wonderful day! Goodbye for now!

I will go to my local tmobile store this friday to pickup my V10. I can't wait!

As soon as it's confirmed bootloader unlocked I'll be all over it.

I think I will jump on demand from the note 5 on friday. Since the new lumias wont be sold on tmobile ill jump to this. Im looking forward to get my hands on this.

Oh nice, I never knew a note 5 user will drop it for the v10 Any specific reason if you dont mind me asking ? I currently have the nexus 6..love that thing, waiting for the price for 64 gb to drop even more to make it my second device.
V10 just seems more daily friendly than the note 5 to me personally.

I've got a few TMo stores in the area, I'll be calling around Friday to see who has it in stock! This should be a nice upgrade from my G3. Now to figure out how Jump works (not Jump on Demand). I've only been with TMo for a little over a year, so I've never gotten around to switching up phones.

I find the removeable battery and sd card more appealing to me personally. I find interesting about the camera capabilities and look forward to try it out. I had the lg g3 before the note so i miss my sd card.

Assuming half of your device is paid off and you have jump 2, you will jump to the v10 without any hassle. If for any reason half of your current device is not paid off, you cannot jump without making that payment in store. Hope that helps

Ah nice, yeah I'm over the halfway point by about a month so hopefully this will be nice and easy!

I ordered mine online just to guarantee I'll get one in case.. Kinda wish I had just waited until Friday, but oh well. I don't do jump on demand. I usually only upgrade once a year, this will be my first multi-upgrade. I like to own my device and use it to resale later. I can get more money to put towards my new phone that way, or if I need it for immediate bills I can just finance the new one and pay it off a little slower.

Ive been trying on Tmobiles website to use my Jump and upgrade but it wont complete. Even tried the chat with a Rep for a while She told me to try back later. I had the Nexus 6, Cracked the screen Assurant gave me a GS6 as a replacement and I hate the smaller size.. Was Really holding out for the Nexus 6p But doesnt seem that will be on TMobile anytime soon. So Ill just Jump to the V10 and I have another Jump available in Jan in case anything else comes along..

I ordered this morning. It said back ordered and they only had black as the color option. Hopefully we'll have root available. The promo pushed me over. I got to use it a little and wanted it and the promo made me get it.

Just got back from my t-mobile store. I reserved mine for Friday am. I'll be there when the doors open at 10 am. I will be saying good bye to my trusty note 2 that has served me well for a long time. The v10 is the first phone I felt would be a substantial upgrade. I got to mess around with it in the store. Wow.. Hopefully my water damaged core dropping massively abused note 2 will hang in till Friday..

I was not aware it is in store already, nice! I better call around to see if my stores have it. What are your thought on it while using? How is the lag or lack of?

They had one in the store to play with?
I work in a mall and the Tmobile store is just a few steps away. I might need to sneak over there later.
Old faithful note 2 user here! I still love it but waiting 10 minutes to open my gallery is getting a little old (embarrassing too when I whip out the phone to show someone a picture "real quick". Hah not so much.)
The promo kinda pushed me over the edge too. I've been seriously considering the 6p and even sneaked a peek at some blackberry priv info. (hardware keyboard be still my heart!)
Friday might be the day!

Only getting it if it comes in the white/gold color.... Until then I'll keep my Note 5.

Looks like no phone for you then Charlie Brown. T-Mobile only gets the black version.

They had them in the back and brought one out for me. Lag? What lag.. I feel your pain about the gallery. Very irritating on my note 2. The v10 is really impressive. Makes my note feel old school now. And my note is rooted with custom rom. All the good stuff from XDA-Developers. So its still a very relevant phone. The v10 is a whole nother level..

I know the lg 3 (my only lg experience) had stutter issues and by the time i left the device 6 months later, the issue was still present but was fixed 7 months into the release. Left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth ya know? I am actually about to go to my tmobile store, they got a demo in store they can bring out for me I ...am...psych!

If you check around it was suppose to be promised to tmobile a few days ago, so, knowing Verizon and the ungodly amount of bloat they shove down our throats and how they disable features because 'they' think they are not useful, i predict into February easy.

I miss the days when these RUUs leaked early. I'm not sure why that stopped.

If memory served me correct it was someone by the name of 'football' who leaked them. Maybe he got fired lolz.
I am considering jumping ship from HTC and getting a nexus 5x, I am just frustrated with 'Verizon Certified' stuff. it is usually a bunch of bloatware and then they go in and disable features. Besides HTC will only support the device for 2 years. I like the idea of the software update coming directly from Google; like Apple does it, zero carrier intervention is the way to go.
Not sure I know anyone with a nexus 5x to ask what they think.

No one knows. HTC promised it by the end of last year, but they only made that deadline for the international version. The US isn't a priority in Taiwan.
You can run Santod's NuSenSeveN if you're S-OFF. That's pretty close to what we'll get, minus bloatware. And it pretty much runs perfectly. I'm currently on Captain's GPE, which was made for Sprint but works just fine on Verizon.
I'm going to Project Fi in June, just as soon as my contract is up. To the day. I'm jumping to a 128GB 6P.

Check Best Buy. I heard they were carrying the 6P. Might have the 5X as well. No guarantees though. YouTube should have some videos. I like Marques Brownlee. His specialty is cameras (pro grade) so when he talks about a phone's camera, he knows what he's talking about. And he's well versed in the other aspects as well. Here's his review of the Nexus 5X.

Verizon bootloader unlock soon?

I know, I know, WHY DID I BUY THE VERIZON PIXEL 2? Well, i actually got it as a gift from my parents, they got the BestBuy 100$ off so they thought it was a good deal. I personally had a Nexus 6P but my battery was completely dying and i bought it from newegg so i cant rma it. I got it today and i love it, but its so weird without the ability to use still like greenify, adblock, titanium backup, etc. So is there a guess of when there will be a bootloader unlock if there will be one?

Was there ever an unlock for the Verizon Pixel? Therein lies your answer.

What do you mean? Why would you not update? You will never get root on that device so either sell it or live with it. Not updating will only make your device less secure. Besides, you'll need to update to the November patch in order to fix the Krack wifi exploit. This is not a silly assumption, this is fact. I'd be more than happy to eat my words at some point but for now the sugar is in the back of the cabinet.
All we need is a bounty thread at this point. You know that's next right? This way everyone complaining about Verizon can go to one place to rant and not all over the boards.

Agreed. But if he got it as a gift then his options might be limited if it was not bought outright. I'd just say live with it, most people aren't rooting any longer anyway. There is no root yet although that might be coming when images are released. Bootloader unlock, however, on the Verizon Pixels is not going to happen anytime soon, if ever. And to the OP, @Etheralrealm you don't need TiB if you're not flashing roms really. Greenify is a waste with this device and Adaway has some VPN alternatives. I'd just enjoy the device and forget about messing with it.

Yeah, it was bought on a payment plan so my options with selling it are kind of limited.

Agreed. But if he got it as a gift then his options might be limited if it was not bought outright. I'd just say live with it, most people aren't rooting any longer anyway.

I brought it back to Verizon and since it was only a few days they actually were willing to reverse my purchase. I ordered a 6P battery kit and it is working great again, hope it lasts!
