Default Verizon bootloader is LOCKED?!? *PROOF-OF-CONCEPT WORKAROUND FOUND*
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1755594

Looks like unsigned files won't flash.

I guess we know why the Verizon version is so late.

I'm quite angry now.

Have fun guys. Verizon can't use LTE on the 700Mhz and have a locked bootloader.

I'm also contacting Sen. Schumer.

If it's not unlocked in 14 days Verizon will be taking it back from me and I will not be paying a restocking fee because it is defective.

Lol. Defective on what grounds? You weren't able to hack the phone out of the box? Yeah goodluck with that.

Mine is staying in box until a root method is achieved, otherwise it's hitting craigslist and I'm grabbing a Nexus.
F*cking Verizon.

Wow, even AT&T's version is unlocked. What gives, Verizon? It's just pure greed. They obviously don't want to worry about the minuscule numbers that brick their phones for replacements.

This is definitely weighing in on my decision to keep my gnex. That and I came from sprint to Verizon about a week ago and -- damn this network is fast!!! I was gonna - maybe - return, the gnex and pick up an s3. This the first I've read about a locked bootloader.
