I have Tmobile and it has a Tmobile unlock app and I clicked on it and now it says my phone is Unlocked . I had to reboot like 3 times and then it said my phone is permanently unlocked . Does this mean I can root it and install Roms ? I am a newb with this phone I had a S5 and then a V20 so can someone point me in the right direction please .

Sorry, m8 that means it's network unlocked not bootloader unlocked. Wish it was easy as an app but only Exynos models are supported as of right now since their bootloaders are unlocked out of the box.

i even heard that the Samsung have already an unlocked boot-loader - i don't think it's true.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
Thanks for the answer.
if so, how can i check if my boot loader is indeed unlock?
Since early 2011 Samsung has only had unlocked bootloaders with the exception when a provider demanded it (like Verizon).
So yours is UNLOCKED.

If its locked you can neither flash root nor a custom rom .
But it does not apply SGS3 I9300 has never been locked .

1) The bootloader is not locked. Your post is based on rubbish and could potentially brick an international s3. Please only post things you understand, not dangerous nonsense like this.
2) "dis" and "ur" are not proper words. The language of this forum is English and you have a responsibility to use real words. Sure, you may use less-than-perfect grammar and punctuation but at least try to spell words properly if you want to be taken seriously*
*also depends on 1).

is SHW-M440S bootloader unlockd ?
Hello Guys,
I am relatively new to the android world, and I decided to give this a go. I was able to root my device, and I understand the bootloader is not unlocked. Nothing from my research indicated wether this meant I was also still carrier locked or not. Simply put, my question is: if I am rooted, am I carrier unlocked, even though my bootloader is locked? If not, what do I need to do to perform a carrier unlock?
Thank you for the help!

You are not carrier unlocked. Who is your current service provider?

I have tried the link listed and it does not seem to work I am missing something here, I would like to carrier unlock my device as I am changing service and would love to be able to use my phone, how should I do this I am on a rooted me7 version s4
Unfortunately, this method does not work for me, as the phone does not respond to the code when it is inserted onto the dialpad.
Hi All
Excellent work on getting the locked boot-loader root I now have a rooted z2. Is there any chance someone could look at changing the status of boot-loader unlock allowed=no to yes (if at all possible). I have lots of faith in you all and I will be a happy bunny if/when I can get a custom kernel to run on my phone.
Thanks in advance

Every Z2 comes locked but some are not unlockable. To answer OPs question there is no way to unlock it with bootloader unlock allowed = no.

I got that part, I was just gathering general knowledge about it since I'm going to be very new to this device. Mine should be unlockable since it's "Network Unlocked". Yes I do know the difference between Bootloader and SIM lock, just stating that typically ones that are factory unlocked for use on any GSM network also have unlockable bootloaders.
I guess that makes me a happy camper
O.K
I have been in contact with O2 (Via Online Gurus) who have told me two different things on two different occasions,
1) You need to unlock your Sim lock with a code (which I did from them) and then flash a generic unbranded FTF. This will change the rooting status from NO to YES........................... This did not work
2) You need to talk to Sony as it was them who locked it................. Gahhhh
I have sent Sony an email saying this and I am just waiting for a reply.....................
Now we wait

I think now you'll have to buy a new phone from no operators at all if you want it bootloader unlockable.
Although I'm curious. Here in Greece all phones come unlocked even from operators. I mean Sim unlocked but they are branded. I bought mine from Commode and I checked three of them and their bootloader was Yes on unlock status.
Weird.
I have been surfing the web for couple of days to find a way to unlock the bootloader for LG G5 H860, but i couldnt find any thing
could any one help me with that ?
not possible. H850 EU only... as stated on the official site as well as the XDA G5 thread for bootloader unlocking.
To expand on what @autoprime said, at the moment, the only model that can have the bootloader unlocked is the H850.

Is it "not possible" for ever or what ?

probably not YET possible. We still have to wait for someone to discover an exploit. Non-unlockable bootloader doesn't necessarily mean no root forever, there are billions of ways out there to do it, but no one has found it yet for our variant. I remember rooting my Xperia Acro S without unlocking it (even though it was possible at that time). I love the phone anyway, even without root.
any update about unlocked boot loader for h860 (dual sim)?
Thanks!

I've graduated to the G5 from the G3, the bootloader for which was locked down tight by LG. The geniuses working on the G3 developed an exploit called Bump! that let users flash ROMs on the G3 despite its locked bootloader. It would be nice if something equivalent could be developed for the G5.

okay i may be stubborn but i too have this exact verizon moto z droid and love the phone but have always liked tampering with them . i had this same problem with my previous phone witch was a verizon galaxy note 4 .. im being stubborn with this one i guess and want to know why there isnt a crack or something i know tons of people must have this phone .. why isnt there a workaround for getting passed the bootloader. i have searched everywhere and here i am empty handed . i will swear by this forum and so i guess thats why im here hoping for an answer
