AT&T Galaxy Note 2 Rooted, will have unlocked bootloaders

Those looking to buy a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 on AT&T when it comes out can rest assured that a method to root it will be available almost immediately. BriefMobile’s source has told them that the AT&T Galaxy Note 2 has already been rooted before release, and has also sent a screenshot along with it. We already saw the international Galaxy Note 2 getting root and a custom recovery before release, and it seems the AT&T variant will receive similar treatment.

The AT&T Galaxy Note 2 will have an unlocked bootloader just like the Galaxy S3 and unlike the Verizon Galaxy Note 2, which is normal considering no one except Verizon is interest in locking the bootloaders on Samsung devices (then releasing unlocked developer edition devices instead). This bodes well for custom ROM developers and those looking to run non-stock firmware and ROMs on their Note 2.

Kudos to whoever achieved root access on the AT&T Galaxy Note 2. Now to wait till the device itself is available.
