LG has confirmed that is working on an official mechanism to allow unlocking of bootloader in future smartphones
In good news for developers and tinkerers around the world, LG has confirmed that it will provide an official bootloader unlocking mechanism in future smartphones.
Unlocking the bootloader allows users to install custom ROMs on their smartphones. While the process is relatively simple for power users, people new to the concept consider it a little daunting. LG’s move will ensure that their users feel a little more comfortable with the whole process.
Some smartphone manufacturers do have an unlocking solution that provides an easy way to unlock the bootloader. HTC offers an official unlocking solution making the process a breeze.
LG has so far refrained from providing any such mechanism but the company has confirmed in an official email to XDA Developers that they are working on a safer bootloader unlocking feature along with a specific server for the task.
The Korean electronics giant has warned that the process might take some time due to technical restrictions, security issues and concerns of mobile carriers.
LG has not yet indicated if the feature will be available retrospectively for devices that the company has already released like the LG G3.
This is definitely a step in the right direction with the consumer getting greater freedom to what he wants with his phone.
