Petition about possibility to unlock bootloader in G2

[reas0n]

Hello!

I don't know, maybe someone remembers me from P880 forum
Whatever - in that time the 4X HD had locked bootloader which no one was able to unlock it, so I decided to make a petition about it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852721). We succeed and we could unlock the bootloader via fastboot oem unlock in Jelly Bean update.

Now LG did it again, their G2 and G3 flagships as well as some other devices are locked as hell again. I decided today to reopen my petition and share this message to You guys so maybe we could get the unlockable bootloader again, or at least a way to unlock it like it is for example HTC phones.

Here's the link to the petition:
http://www.change.org/petitions/lg-...opportunity-to-unlock-bootloader-in-lg-phones

Let's have at least some hope for it, so we could get easier development and also G3 development could rise.

My reopened petition has 4031 supporters (for now) so it should be a little visible

Individual emails have also the meaning. If You have a minute, please send emails to these addresses, also don't forget to mention about our petition:

EDIT: I'm posting in G3's petition thread to prevent (my) spam, also G3 community is the most active, so that's why I decided to keep posting and updating there:

Thanks reas0n for your petition I also signed it. I also remember about the 4xhd locked bootloader, I wanted to buy that after I sold my 2x which bootloader got unlocked by wkpark, but I didn't really bought it because of the locked boot loader.
Maybe with unlocked boot loader display problems mightnbe less and less vertical stripes while flashing ROMs. Unlocked boot loader would also offer more possibilities and better then bypassing the jellybean boot loader.
I hope this petition reaches fast the 10.000.
This should be on xda news so the petition will be fast 10.000 times signed by xda members.

Locked bootloaders are an absolute deal breaker for me with any device.

Agreed on both counts.

But if LG is serious about putting a dent in samsungs sales they had better reconsider this locked bootloader for all crap.

If a carrier asks for it thats one thing but a generic lockdown is total BS.

Ive been waiting to get a G3 since they were announced and the locked BL is a HUGE letdown.

i owned a galaxy nexus earlier and it was a breeze, sadly the battery life was crap. ths ame goes with nexus 5. so i thought lg g2 was a better choice, and it was no regrets, sure the updates are a little late but i get such awesome camera features and some other proprietary stuff which i do enjoy to a certain extent

Only for G2, but IT'S SOMETHING:

It may be useful, but we will see what devs will say.

Didn't want to leave my community without informations, so here's what I got from LG Open Source:

We know there are lots of requests to unlock bootloader.
We will inform you when we have good news.

and LG Developer:

Thank you for your feedback regarding bootloader unlock and
we are sorry for any inconvenience and disappointment that have been caused by lack of support for bootloader unlock on the latest LG smartphones.

We are already aware of many developers’ requests and opinions on bootloader unlock.
So we have been preparing a server to provide safer bootloader unlock.
Also, we are internally discussing the target model and the time of providing bootloader unlock.
However, it will take some more time due to the technical restrictions, security issues, and the policy of mobile carriers.

We deeply apologize that we are unable to support bootloader unlock right now and would like to ask for your kind understanding.
We will let you know more specific information when the support policy for bootloader unlock is decided.

What are the advantages of unlocked boot loader? As we have custom roms recovery root aosp roms etc..then for what?
