how to do it and not end up paying for unlock code
I do not understand, while android community being open and willing to share knowledge you still have to pay for unlock code

the unlock code has nothing to do with google or android, unlock codes arnt free because generally, branded handeset are subsidised by that particular network, so they are cheaper than factory unlocked handsets, i find it perplexing that you dont mind paying for a htc desire but refuse to pay £10 to unlock it
If I am to walk in a store where I have pursched my desire and pay extra 10 I would.
But if you do not mind paying for your "desire" and your unclok code I find it perplexing that you would not pay 0.99$ for apps
[BOUNTY - WON] Unlocking the Bootloader on the AT&T One X ~ PLEASE PAY YOUR PLEDGES
UPDATE 5/24/12
A working method of obtaining an unlocked bootloader has been posted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671396
The bounty has therefore been won by grankin01. Please pay your pledged amounts to Paypal at: [email protected]
Please post on here that you have paid (by method to be determined) and I will indicate so next to your name below.
====================================================================================================
This thread is for tracking pledges toward a bounty for unlocking the bootloader on the AT&T version of the One X. I've set up this bounty at the suggestion of some users here. I know a lot of work is going on over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639972
And it would be good to give the hard working devs some motivation, and a reward for all the hours of hard work.
This bounty is only for unlocking the bootloader on the AT&T version of the One X. There is a separate bounty for S-Off on the international version of the One X here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642922
Whether a method to get S-Off on the international version will also work on the AT&T version, I don't think can be determined yet. So if you own the AT&T version, whether you pledge toward S-Off on the international forum is your decision.

This thread is for tracking purposes only, and will be maintained by me as a courtesy. I do not claim any responsibility for collecting pledges, or transferring them to the winning developer. Payment of pledges will be on the honor system. Its your responsibility to pay the winning developer.
Lastly, feel free to "thank" me for this thread. Nowhere near the contribution that the devs regularly make to XDA. But its a bit of work tracking the pledges, and a small thanks would be greatly appreciated.
Add me for $20

I'm down for 20 if an unlock is offered before HTCDev get's their act together.

My $20 will be for an unofficial solution only before AT&T allows the use of HTC Dev. I will be willing to give half of that if it's after.
$50 before ATT/HTCDev
mark me down for $50, and half of that if it's after HTCdev.
Put me down for $30 regardless of HTCDev unlock.
Put me down for a $20 donation towards some beer or pizza. Whatever. Keep up the good fight fellas.
I'm lovin the generous pledges.. The bounty should grow pretty quick if others follow the trend... Once it gets worthwhile I'm sure there will be some effort... Thanks op and everyone who donates!
I'll do $50 before ATT/HTCDev. PM me if this happens as I dont check these forums everyday.
I will Donate 20.00
$20 no matter what......
I will donate 10$ if it is before HTC Dev (Or is better in some significant way).
30 before HTC will do it

$40 Before or After HTCdev
Put me down for $20 whenever it happens..
Put me down for $20 if we can totally skirt HTCdev (or they are not able to "track" us).
Thanks to all the devs working on this! I'd pledge more if I could!

Hi all,
I have had an AT&T HOX since about a month after it's been released. It's S-OFF, rooted, running CM 10.1, etc.
Now that T-Mobile is paying ETFs I'd like to get it unlocked and switch carriers. The problem is that if I cancel service from AT&T it'll still take a few days for them to give me the unlock code, and they've refused to give me an unlock code before I cancel my plan. As far as I can tell there's also no way to pay the early termination fee without canceling service.
So, is there a simple way to get the unlock code for free without going through AT&T? I heard that such an exploit exists for the One S. I'm willing to do a little terminal work.
Alternatively, which of the paid services is the cheapest and most reliable?
Also, I've heard that I'll need to go back to Sense to actually get the phone SIM unlocked. That's annoying if true, but not insurmountable.
Thanks!
You do need to go back to a Sense ROM, and preferably a stock Sense ROM. The free unlock services can be a bit shady so it's worth paying the few dollars to get a code. As for which service is best, I don't know. I do know it's been discussed quite a few times in our forum though, did you search?

As of Dec 02 2016 theres is a total of 2772.00 bounty in effect
Open source for the variants are located here

Att
https://www.dropbox.com/s/mwm438oktxce9es/LGH910PR_Android_Nougat.zip?dl=0
Verizon, Att, and Sprint users with a locked bootloader have decided to put a bounty for the following:
Working root for the Lg V20 devices with locked bootloaders
As a plus a working recovery would be nice as well
Sometimes on a device there are methods, procedures required that go above the nromal developers or end users scope of capabilities
The lg V20 us variants besides the t mobile one is one of those devices.
Us users are requesting that established developers help with this and as a way of saying thanks and as tokens of appreciation have decided to reward the developer/developers monetarily
We are using the pledge method as directed by a moderator to be the most effective way to go
Please do not clutter this thread with non related questions or comments
The guidlines are as follows:
Developer and/or developers collecting the bounty:
-you may ask a pledger or pledgers to be testers
-must show working proof
-provide detailed step by step instructions on how to flash/get method to work
-need at least one person in thread besides what ever testers you may have used verify its operational
-provide the op with paypal email or where funds need to go.
-if this is a combined effort please handle the dispursements between yourselves or pm me with the way you want the pledge funds allocated
Pledgors:
-if you are selected as a tester do not share the work you are testing unless advised by the developer you are testing for
-do not ask for a eta
-do not pledge more than you are willing to pay
-if you pledge pay what you are pledging
@moderators is there any way to enforce this?
-DO NOT BE RUDE OR PUSHY IN THIS THREAD---I WILL ASK THAT YOU BE REMOVED FROM THE THREAD
100 dollars
30 dollars. Also willing to test.
50$ spot
$50
Count me in for $30
Edit: sprint variant
FYI those putting offers up: Pick either bootloader unlock (very unlikely) or root (quite likely). Bootloader unlock means you'll be fully rooted via TWRP within seconds. I already have TWRP ready for every variant - once one has it, they all have it. A bootloader unlock is worth MUCH MORE than a root, and is a permanent solution.
I wasn't sure if this qualified as clutter or not, but:
I'd like to make sure people understand that I will not be involved in any process to attempt to unlock or root the locked bootloader variants of the V20.
I do not participate in devices with locked bootloaders. (so please don't ask me, as many are and I find it frustrating)
That said, I am happy to bring TWRP to your devices if someone can figure out how to crack the signature verification of aboot in order to allow booting custom boot images.
I'd also like to make note to any developers interested in the task of getting selinux to permissive:
There's a lot going on at https://github.com/timwr/CVE-2016-5195/issues/9 and you may want to read through. A few methods have been discussed and succeeded, although this device doesn't qualify for many if any of them so far.
I'll put in $10 and volunteer to be a tester as long as I don't end up with a brick. ☺
Edit: sprint varient here.
I'm in for a $20 for the sprint variant
