More then likely won't happen for a long time. We don't even have a recovery and we need an unlocked bootloader to use that. Maybe eventually we will have a modified boot loader to install to bypass the recovery writing so were able to eventually. But until then, no Roms will even begin being developed.

Loki is a tool to get around locked bootloaders. Being added to its list is the first step to get developers the opportunity for recoveries, roms and kernels.

Anyone unlock the bootloader, yet? Any workable recoveries, custom ROMs, or kernels? Seeing that its been a little while since the last post, was hoping maybe somebody had some luck. Thanks.

Boot loader still locked but everything else is moving forward
