They're doing it in the edge forum. We should do it too. John Legere has responded to some.

I've been tweeting him quite a bit.

definitely an unusual one. I said something similar in an email to John L. regarding the improvements and additions to Android over the years. Many of which started here. Let's not even get started on the security issues we've uncovered and provided fixes for that again were included in OTAs for average users.

Signed as well. Hope we can get more than the 250ish signatures on this. Otherwise, I don't think anybody is going to waste their time unlocking the BL.

We are up to 450 as the time of this post with a goal of 500!

Sign the petition, this will only help the S7 community as well...not just the S7 Edge

Sign this petition people! The more signatures we get the better. Also don't let up on the tweets and Facebook posts. Samsung says T-Mobile wanted the bootloader locked and T-Mobile is blaming Samsung. So send your tweets to both by all means!

Signed. thanks for doing this!

Even though I don't own a S7 (S5 here), I still gonna sign the petition just for you guys [emoji1]

Well, whenever you can, upload it on Drive. Multiple mirrors are possible as it can be accessed by everyone. On the other hand Mega is blocked in a few countries, like mine. [emoji6]

Lollipop released for Droid Turbo!

So I got confirmation that Lollipop is being rolled out! I am trying to upload images for proof.

There sure is going to be a lot of disappointment if the soak is a VoLTE patch.

Funny.
I said if, not when. I say with 100% honesty that there is no soak test ota currently on my phone.
Some people have trouble reading. We call these people illiterate where I am from.
My point that you clearly missed is the OP says its lollipop. It will be funny if it turns out being a VoLTE patch.
Thanks fort posting this. As Luis cavalho said it will be pushed very very soon. I dont know why people keep thinking its vo LTE patches. Lollipop we are getting next week after soak test.
Go ask Motorola for yourselves, it is past the soak test, and is now rolling out in the first wave. As soon as my device gets the update I will post screenshots, but I did provide proof of the Motorola conversation screenshot. I didn't even edit out my name. I stand by my word.
I don't make any rules or break them... I assumed no soak test so therefore no NDA was signed on my part.
I have done a factory data reset and reactivated my phone, signed in, and still no update as of yet for mine, but I assume it will not be long. My guess is it will be on Monday. Soon as in like I asked this morning and that was the response I got. I immediately made this thread in hopes others would have bothered logging in and asking for themselves to reprove me. I will keep the original top part of the thread updated with screenshots and perhaps a YouTube video proving it when the update comes.
Keep note Motorola do roll-outs in waves so yours might get it before mine or vice versa. It is coming, this is initial proof. Ask for yourselves.

Bootloader Unlock Petition for Amazon Fire

Going to be creating a petition as an attempt to somehow get us a unlock for the device. I will update this periodically in the coming days and weeks.
Here is the link to the petition I have made.
https://www.change.org/p/amazon-unl...otloader-5884c88e-9ccf-4cdd-b2e8-846d03d294f1
UPDATE 12/27
Tomorrow I will be adding a link to the petition. With the holidays and everything going on things are quite crazy.
UPDATE 12/28
I have updated the post to include the link to the petition.
If anyone would like to include any specific wording in said petition please reply below stating so.
It's been done, never had an effect. Don't waste your/our time.

Look, I never agree with the guy, but Davey126 explained to you in the other thread. Even if you acquired an unobtainable amount of signatures, somehow got it in front of someone that mattered, and forced them to read it, they would ignore it. Plain and simple. If they wanted to unlock the bootloader, they would have done it at release. Oh, but a bunch of nerds want me to do it so they can sidestep the OS we designed for it. Look at the petition for the S5: 1400 signatures and didn't make a difference. The same can be said for every device this has been attempted with. I wish it weren't true, it's just not ever going to amount to anything...

You can ask google for meaning of a word
petition meaning
a formal written request, typically one signed by many people, appealing to authority in respect of a particular cause.
"she was asked to sign a petition against plans to build on the local playing fields"
synonyms: appeal, round robin, list of signatures/protesters
"about 7,000 people signed a petition objecting to the scheme"

We're now over 100 signatures in! Thanks to all who have signed already! If you haven't already, a minute of your time would greatly be appreciated to sign the petition. Thanks to all Note 8 users!
Just signed the petition. I do wonder if getting all of the petitioners together to offer a donation or bounty to have someone unlock the bootloader or improve the root method by fixing all of the current bugs would be more effective. I doubt that this petition will convince samsung to unlock the bootloader.
It's a long shot considering we are dealing with AT&T, but I try to support the XDA community how and when I can. Signed!
I also signed it as well. Regardless of what they decide, props for standing up my man!
