Signed, Thanks for the effort and glad to know people are pushing this.
I would sign this... but i cant do it from my phone. I totally support this though. I bought this phone today because an in store rep was telling me it had an unlocked bootloader. Stupid me for not doing the research first, right? I will be cancelling my service first thing in the morning over this, however. I feel "big red" lied to me, so the etf is totally worth it at this point. Ill try to sign this in the morning from my sisters tablet. I hope this works out, though.

You make sure you mention his name when you cancel your account. The who, AND the why.
Good on you, too. Assholes.

No offense, but no one really give a fukk at Verizon. You MIGHT get lucky that a customer service rep might send out an email to the store manager but very unlikely. Best thing to do is talk to a supervisor and complain.
vzw rep here. petition signed.
Actually, I believe you can sue them for false advertising because he told you the product would do something which it would not, and you bought it because of that. You should go in and ask for a full refund (and don't let them add on their bull**** "restocking fee") or threaten to sue.
Somebody didn't read the news last night or this morning lol. Enjoy T-mobile while the vzw gs3 is now fully unlocked. We certainly will enjoy our better coverage and LTE.

Voting with your dollars against those who remove freedom from users is never a bad thing. Coverage and speed are subjective based on the area you live.
...but I stayed with the gs3 on Verizon, so I'm kind of a hypocrite.
P.S. All Verizon has to do relock or maybe even brick phones is to release one modem/pbl/sbl update that people want to flash (i.e. the true (unhacked) global roaming release they announced before launch).

This petition should remain active. They should hear our voices for the next locked phone release.

We hope everyone understood that they couldn't accept OTA updates anymore... wishful thinking though. That would imply these ****ers read

Yes, absolutely no OTA updates should be accepted by those who unlock.
I was referring to the the fact that the aboot partition is later in the boot chain than the modem partition (part of the PBL). We currently have global roaming capabilities (requires some "hacking"). Before launch of the GS3, Verizon said they would be releasing an OTA update to add official support for global roaming. This will no doubt come in the form of an updated modem partition.
Since the modem is earlier in the chain of trust than aboot, with the modem release they may be able to change the required private key signature for subsequent boot chain partitions (along with resigned SBL1, SBL2, TZ, RPM, SBL3, and aboot partitions). In that case, our leaked engineering aboot partition would no longer enable unlock.

There was a hint I. He thread that they have something else if Verizon relocks It.

It may get unlocked Unofficially in the near future. Do not be satisfied wth this.
We need it Officially Unlocked by Verizon.
Here is a prime example of why we want it Official
The only thing we can do at this point is protest this any way we can.
