**My background (since I'm new here): 2yr Google Nexus One (US) user/modifier/etc, know my way around ROMs/ADB/etc (not kernels, yet), and since I am published on the Market, I was given a G-Slate to develop on. Basically, while I claim to know nothing, I'm definitely no noob.**
My first (US) G-Slate auto updated to 3.1, before I learned that it was the polar opposite of my Nexus (painfully restricted vs wide open unlocked). I just received a replacement G-Slate because LG and T-Mo couldn't SIM unlock my first one (to use on any GSM carrier).
I opened the box > plugged in charger > put in Airplane mode, to prevent the auto update. I haven't even transferred anything from my other G-Slate yet. I'm curious if anyone has poked around the 3.1 update (manual version) to see if it can be modified to prevent the bootloader unlock. I know there is no going back to 3.0 once updated, so I figure try now while I can.
Anyone have input? Tried/failed/bricked/etc? Or is there just nothing available ROM/Kernel/etc-wise and I should just let it update and just hope it's not already bastardized and has received it's only and final update 7 months after release?
(btw I know about the IRC channel, just didn't know if it's any busier than here, and XDA can suck one for not making a sub-forum already.)
