Possible bootloader unlock method!

[SunnyOK]

I saw this and nearly jumped out of my seat! Not sure if its legit or if/how it works. Does this look good for us?

ALL HANDS ON DECK! Skilled developers please look at these files/this utility! It seems to have been deemed worthy of a twiceover by designgears!

Great news! Hope it is successful!

What would make the downgrade possible?

Apparently my dad is familiar with Python. I'll see what he can do for us.

I'm so ready for some custom Kernels and some ASOP goodies (Mostly PAC)

I just want custom kernels for speed and battery. I prefer TW on the Note 3.

Custom Recovery is a big one too.

An actual recovery like twrp would be nice too! But a custom kernel that can match the battery life of the t mobile variant would just be awesome

That is what we would need to flash custom kernels.

I know. Just stating that having an actual recovery and not ss would be the biggest thing for me

If we potentially are able to unlock the bootloader, would it be possible to go back to stock after doing so? Would it just be as simple as flashing back the stock bootloader? Sorry, just don't really know much about it.

You can flash kernel without twrp. Simply need unlocked bl. But yeah recovery would be nice. Personally I'm looking forward to Temasek's N3 kernel. Battery life on that one is just ridiculous.

If this works. This would be sooo sweet. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Either way... This is a huge step for all locked bootloader Qualcomm Samsung phones.
