Root Notes from the frontlines...(my conversation with LG about the bootloader)

[plasticarmyman]

I figure this will entertain more than just me...so this is going to be documenting my continuing conversation with LG about the locked bootloader on this phone...

first things first this is what i sent them

"Hello,
I have recently purchased this phone and in the tradition of Open Source I would like to ask that you release a Bootloader unlocker tool. It would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you"


and this was the automated reply I received today...

"Dear

Sounds like a nice canned reply, good luck.

 

[sammyz]

LG doesn't even know who to forward email to :rofl:

i'm doing it mostly out of boredom and lack of someone to mess with....

facebook trolling is getting boring

Signed. Hopefully, when I'm ready to trade up my M835, LG will have come to their senses. Open source development makes current products on the market more enjoyable for longer amounts of time. If everyone wanted the same phones we'd all buy apple products. Apple seems to think all cell phones should be identical, rubbish. I like the fact that my phone is mine, which does not look or feel like the next guys. Diversity amongst products does not create dissension. I never have and never will purchase an apple product. I'd rather have my M835.

 

[Flablitz]

Signed. Hopehully all works out.

Would be nice if LG actually listened.

Why don't you just call the number if you want to troll someone? Get a good call recorder app, and make sure you tell each person that the call may be recorded, otherwise cut them out before uploading, otherwise illegal.

because they can always hang up on me...

but for proper customer service trolling...you start with an e-mail..then the live chat...then the phone call...

by time you get on the phone, they know who you are...and you'll be talking to the right person who will be able to help you out
