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 was possible to go back to stock after unlocking the boot loader and rooting? I wanted to root/CWM and unlock my atrix using Automatic bootloader UNLOCK/ROOT for AT&T 1.26/1.57/1.83/4.5.91 [UPDATE 07/31/11] but first wanted to check in case Motorola comes out with their "unlocked" boot loader and OTA's would work again.
Thanks,

This IS Motorola's unlocked bootloader mate, it's been out in certain parts of the world but not all. AFAIK, the SBF's are the bootloaders extracted from the updates which have the unlocked bootloader OTA so everyone can use it.
Interesting did not know that. Ok looks like I'll be doing that tonight. 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.
Hello everyone. I just purchased an HTC One on AT&T. I want to root it, which from everything I have heard, means that I have to unlock the bootloader. I have no interest in flashing custom ROMS, I just want to use root apps like Titanium Backup and Wireless tether. If anyone knows about an exploit that allows for root without bootloader unlock, please let me know.
I also want to unlock the SIM/carrier lock via an unlock code. What I want to know is:
Should I do the SIM unlock first, then the bootloader unlock? Or the other way around?
Once the SIM/carrier lock is removed, will the bootloader unlock process have any effect on it?
Thank you,
Nick
Motochopper supposedly will root without bootloader unlock. Revone will grant s-off, allowing bootloader unlock without involving Htcdev. Sim unlock is unrelated and not affected by any of 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.
If I start root process and if s5 T-Mobile bootloader is locked than my phone will be stuck at bopotloop or no
Can someone confirm me that s5 T-Mobile bootloader is locked or unlocked on marshmallow
Unlocked by default on older hardware, on newer hardware (T3), you have to check OEM Unlock in Developer Options. Either way you won't have a bootloop, if it's locked it just won't flash, you get an error in Odin.
In 900T MM won't lock bootloader
