This is just a quick poll to find out how many G3 owners can access their bootloaders.

Terminal:
Code: 
su
reboot-bootloader
ADB (windows):
Code: 
adb reboot-bootloader
ADB (Linux):
Code: 
./adb reboot-bootloader

Should be:

From device
Code: 
su; reboot bootloader

PC
Code: 
adb reboot-bootloader

There is no reboot-bootloader binary so your probably getting an error "reboot-bootloader does not exist" or something similar. reboot is the binary and bootloader is one of its commands.

still doesn't work. Though though typing just ADB does suggest the hyphenated version.

I don't actually have the device just though I could lend a helping hand when I saw the command were wrong from adb, adb reboot-bootloader.works but on a device it doesn't. it uses the reboot binary.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If you don't have the reboot binary inside /system/bin or /system/xbin then it ain't going to work. What is the shell throwing at you when you do reboot bootloader?

Bootloader is locked. Its accessible by flashing a bad boot.img. it will then take you into fastboot mode which oem unlock does nothing.

Install rom toolbox or similar and choose reboot bootloader from it and see what happens
