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.

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.
How do I lock the bootloader to LOCKED as if it were a brand new phone and not say RELOCKED?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you cannot unless your phone is s-off...
Ninji is correct.
You need to S-Off then reflash RUU to obtain the "Locked" Status.
Is this working to unlock the Vzw S4? How are we unlocking the bootloader currently?
There currently isn't a bootloader unlock for the S4.
I didn't think there was but there is a boot animation change/rotator tutorial in the themes and apps section but it states that the phone must be unlocked......I didn't think we had an unlocked bootloader yet! Just making sure I didn't miss anything.
there is a bootloader "bypass" but not a full unlock
is it possible to relock the phone after unlocking it with a code? it was locked to t-mobile, and i unlocked it with a code. now i would like to lock it back if possible. how to do this?
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.

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.
