What is trying to get done here?

Unlocking the bootloader? This means custom kernels? Which in turn will allow this device to run AOSP?


P.S. Thank you OP and anyone else involved in this project.
He flat out said "bootloader is my next project" lmao...so yeah that would mean all of that above ^
p.s. - many thanks for your effort and subbed for results! expect a donation from me if you are successful

Guys I have been working on this for the past 2 months. I am asking nicely. Do not ask for time stamp. As I have step 1 done. Removing knox. Step 2 (bootloader) will be done in the next few weeks. I am working on this and remodeling are twins room. I will fade in and out of this tread. As I am making progress. Some rom builders will get a message. Asking if they want to be a tester.
Imgs of proof will be posted over the weekend.

And yes there will be a way to reverse back to stock.

I understand our bootloader will be updated when Verizon releases 4.4. Do you recommend holding off on an OTA?
If the 4.4.2 comes out before I release this. Go ahead and update. It won't matter for what i am doing. :D. It will still break verizon bootloader.

I don't have experience working on bootloaders, but just out of curiousity, why does deleting Knox make you so confident that the bootloader can now be unlocked?

Like I said I'm not doubting, just curious.

Look at it this way. Your phone files are like a tree. You find the seed and start building a tree files. Then you can find the sources.
