Can you unlock the bootloader on the Verizon model or root it?
Id say no, verizon models are locked down. As of now the gsm unlocked lte model can be rooted and unlock bootloader.

Does the At&t model already have a port going? Unlocked bootloader etc? Can the 1527 be unlocked now?
Motorolla will still not unlock the bootloader for the xt1527 AT&T Go-Phone variant which also means no root. Sucks to cause there seems to be alot of development for the other carrier models but AT&T has to be a bag of D**KS. Oh well on to the next phone with high hopes of badassery.

nope. you can enable/disable it in developer settings but as of now theres no bootloader unlock and root for the H831 Variant.
Is that possible? I just recently unlocked the device from the carrier since it is out of contract now. The carrier that was lock is a little slow on updates but the unlock version is not. What's gonna happen if I flash the unlocked version on my device? Will it brick?
I'm pretty sure the answer is no but does ANYONE know if I can root my SM-N981U? I did get the recent updates automatically and I'm currently running UI v 3.1, bootloader v 2 and android 11. If its NOT possible does anyone know if anyone's working on it? Any help would be AWESOME!! I also have no idea how to turn the bootloader off if rooting is possible so help there would be nice. Thanks in advance!
Your model number ends with "U" which indicates that it's a U.S. variant
U.S. variants always get their bootloader hard locked and can't be unlocked via regular means. Root requires that you unlock your bootloader.
There was a paid service that offered to unlock U.S. variant bootloader here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/sampwnd-usa-model-bl-unlock-info-u-u1-w.4201689/
But I'd ask first if I was you. Other than that, I don't think you'll be able to root.

Service is still going but his is updated to far to do.
I'm planning to import a brand new Japan version of Pixel 6 from a shop. I was told that the phone is not locked to any specific carrier and can be used on any network. Since the phone is not carrier locked, is that mean the bootloader can also be unlocked? Is there any relation between locked carrier and locked bootloader? I wanna buy a phone which can have unlocked bootloader. The shop people said they won't be able to check OEM Unlocking status.
you can unlock the bootloader. I have Japanese version and i changed the model to International and again locked it.
Have a look here.
Cheers
Tom
