Verizon has confirmed they will unlock the bootloader for the Samsung Galaxy S3. Your consistent pressure proved effective in changing their corporate policy. We have reached our goal but please remain vigilant to ensure this implementation proceeds as promised.

The persistent silence from Verizon concerning the state of the bootloader suggests they are waiting for this interest to fade. Your continued engagement proves that we have no intention of moving on until they address our concerns regarding device ownership. We must remain persistent in our digital outreach to ensure our requests cannot be ignored.

The petition has reached one hundred signatures today. This initial response demonstrates that many users expect full control over their hardware.

why do they even care if i flash a custom rom? its my phone not theirs
this is exactly why i was gonna switch to tmobile. locking the bootloader is just dirty practice
NEVER BUYING VERIZON AGAIN. total joke
Paid full price for this device so i should be able to do whatever i want with the software. root access is a basic right for android users
verizon sucks for doing this. just let us use our own hardware how we want. sick of all the bloatware i cant remove
I own my phone so unlock the phone so unlock the phone
isn't the freedom of android gone here?

Very disappointed in this hidden rip off trick verizon pulled. Their pathetic. I went into their store and after 20 minutes they tell me their out of sim cards and to go to target which they don't carry them. I've wasted so much time searching through "it should work threads" they should change their name to liezen
