[Bootloader Unlock] [ND7 Bootloader Lock|Unlock] [Fast Lock|Unlock] [Dev|Consumer device Fast Presets] [Hard Unbrick]

Why and what rationale:

We paid for our device fully. Devices with ink/jot down/pen writing capability are SCARCE. Therefore, time /interest / resources given - it is our duty to protect our investment.
In case of Verizon - some users of a phone is not even at Verizon network - which was a companys' pathetic excuse to keep the phone locked down (pointless argument).

Additionally - we do need a fast lock/unlock for a device , in order for device to be quickly switched to Development device or locked down as Consumer device.

Everyone is invited to collaborate on this.

Realist:
For that, there is serious amount of research to be done. Be not afraid. Let's see what we can do here.

Researcher:
Here we have useful links to pull this together:

[Boot Loader Unlock methodology]

1. There are three ways to connect to ND7 Boot loader:
In ND7 bootloader, we can see that there is apparently built-in support for 3 methods to connect to a bootloader:
1. ODIN
2. THOR
3.Factory PGM

that is derived from SBL plain ASCII strings found within bootloader.
Facts verified by myself DMR , based on research by an user adfree that can be found and thanked here:

What is thor and factorypgm? I tried a quick google search and didn't bring up anything that had to do with this. I'm just wondering what they are as I'm very interested in this as I have an old note 2 sitting in my drawer at home that's unlocked on an older bootloader. I'm not on stock though, but I can get on a stockish rom if needed. I can also try and pull stuff for you if you need.
