Root Is it true that our bootloader can now be unlocked?

[CrimsonToker]

And what does that mean for customizing? Still learning, and have been having trouble understanding about the bootloader

I'm not a programmer or anything but I've been using android for years now. It basically means we can now (technically) install TWRP or CWM, which are needed to flash custom roms and other modifications that requires flashing it into the phone, instead of just running an apk file. Now we just gotta wait for the Rom dev community to help us out on creating roms for this phone.

I hope I made sense... way too early lol

Our bootloader is not unlocked

but we can boot into recovery via fastboot correct?

 

[donjuro]

Yes, but we can't flash recovery or roms.

 

[chucksaysblah]

umm you can boot into recovery and flash a rom according to another thread on here . I am not willing to do anything as of yet. There is not a clear defined path to do so.

 

[donjuro]

You can only flash stock Roms, not cm or any other custom ROM.

 

[chucksaysblah]

gotcha.
