If my phone is locked Can i still root it ? and if its locked how do i check if it is ?
First of all, locked how? SIM-locked, or bootloader locked? I assume you didn't unlock the bootloader using the HTCdev.com website so follow this tutorial to root and bootloader unlock it.

Hey guys i got a pretty straightforward question...
i have unlocked the bootloader and everything is great but now i'm in the need of unlocking my phone... how would i do that? could i relock bootloader and go to stock then unlock it by code provided by my carrier? and if yes would i be able to unlock the bootloader again afterwards?
EDIT:
Oh and by the way inside s1tool it says SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE
bump... nobody that can help me?
Hi all,
I used Davinci sim-unlock (now called 4SE) and it asked if I wanted to unlock the bootloader as well, I said yes.
I know know that this method is a patch not a real unlock. The sim is unlocked and that's fine.
If I try to unlock the bootloader using flashtool / similar method, will that restore the simlock on my phone? The phone did originally have a sim network lock. Some methods do seem to relock this and some don't, I don't know in my case. (the official Sony method doesn't work, it thinks it's unlocked already because of the patch and the relock option doesn't work either)
Thanks
I read somewhere that the AT&T version comes with an unlocked bootloader, how do I tell if mine has been unlocked?
It comes with an unlockABLE bootloader. You can do so by going to htcdev.com and going through the unlock process.
hi! is there any way to unlock my bootloader even if the rooting status bootloader unlock allowed says no...? thanks in advance...
Simple answer: no. If it's a must-have, go return it and buy one off-contract.
It is possible that in the future, someone will find an exploit to unlock the bootloader, or at the very least, do something similar to Loki on the Galaxy S4 (get custom ROMs/etc without an unlocked bootloader).
Sure sucks.
Sent From My Xperia Z2.
I bought one Factory Unlocked without ever being on a contract and it also tells me no, so it looks like it's not possible to unlock the boot loader on any American model.
I used the Xperia C method and my Rooting Status say: Bootloader Unlock allowed: Yes; after this process I try to install TWRP with this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe.../bootloader-unlocked-custom-recovery-t3285521
And I have some troubles. I check my Rooting Status again and this turn to No from Yes. Now my bootloader Secured say Yes, when it say No. And now i can't unlock my bootloader (again).
1.- This screenshot it is when I made my bootloader unlock process. http://prntscr.com/9hiiu
2.- This screen it's when I tried to flash TWRP; the status secure say Yes, after the unlock... http://prntscr.com/9m7ji1
IDK What I have to do.
Can't see your images. Also the thread clearly stated it was only C4 TWRP. The C5 Ultra version is available for Beta testing. If you can flash the recovery your Bootloader is Unlocked simple.
Yes I know. The problem is before the tutorial, thank you very much for responding. Look, what happens is that I had already unlocked the bootloader; Unlock Bootloader I said: Yes. Now I tried to do the procedure you posted, I realized that now Bootloader Unlock my cell saying: No, so I failed in the attempt to flash the recovery. My question was, why after saying Bootloader Unlock: Yes, Unlock Bootloader went on to say: No, and thus the secured: yes.I do not understand what could have happened, why it changed the configuration ?, this was in a period of one week before you will post the tutorial.
Will said bootloader survive an ota update on c4 & c5?
