Of course, with the inevitable popularity of the S 4, there&#8217;s likely going to be a crazy amount of dev work being done on the device right out of the gate, so an unlocking method will likely come along sooner or later.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">I don&#8217;t expect this to make a huge impact on S 4 sales on AT&amp;T, but for the modding community, it&#8217;s a bit of a let down.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">source: <a  href=\"http:\/\/redirectingat.com\/?id=3031X597718&#038;xs=1&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fplus.google.com%2Fu%2F0%2F100275307499530023476%2Fposts%2Fb4AqTzzVKVS&#038;sref=rss\">Google Plus<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Come comment on this article: <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/159983-steve-kondik-of-cyanogenmod-confirms-att-galaxy-s-4-ships-with-a-locked-bootloader\/\">Steve Kondik of Cyanogenmod confirms AT&amp;T Galaxy S 4 ships with a locked bootloader<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:right;\"><small>Visit <a  rel=\"dofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/\">TalkAndroid for Android news<\/a>, <a  rel=\"dofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/guides\/\">Android guides<\/a>, and much more!<\/small><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/AndroidNewsGoogleAndroidForums\/~4\/8nINLuIoER4\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/AndroidNewsGoogleAndroidForums\/~4\/c7Tb46QwzOA\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re the tinkering type and you&#8217;ve been eyeing the Galaxy S 4 on AT&amp;T, you may want to rethink your options.
