Verizon Galaxy S III To Get Unlocked Bootloader Via OTA Update

The handset comes with a locked bootloader, which makes it rather difficult for users interested in personalizing it via custom ROMs to do so.




However, it appears that good news for Verizon’s users did emerge, and that the already available model will receive an unlock tool at some point in the future.Samsung and Verizon found for those users looking to customize their devices with unapproved software was to announce a Developer Edition of Galaxy S III, which should land on shelves soon.


Although no specific release date has been provided as of yet, the device is now listed on Samsung’s official website as coming soon.


A 32GB Pebble Blue model can be seen at Samsung on this page, but info on pricing is missing. Previously, however, Samsung confirmed that the device was set to be launched at $599 contract free, though the cost might actually apply to the 16GB model.
