There is a bootloader exploit that allows that.

You can't anymore unless you buy a device with MDK preinstalled

The only Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 (SCH-I545), aka jfltevzw, that has an unlockable bootloader is the one that has the baseband version "I545VRUAMDK".

That thread shows how to install a new kernel on the device, which is great. But does that mean it is also unlocked (besides rooted)?
Thanks

Nope, there used to be an app to unlock it, downloaded it from google play store, but I think you can only find it here at xda developers now.
I think you need to Odin the i777 firmware to it before you can use the app to unlock.

If you're on the MDK bootloader, you can update to the stock/rooted/deodexed OC1 ROM in the development forum.

Can you help me please
I have flash TWRP in Verizon Galaxy Note II sch-i605 With flashfiy app
It stopped in the Samsung logo and did not work until I returned the stoke rom
Is there better way to Flash It without Any problems ?
Thank you
Did you accept the 4.4.2 OTA update from Verizon? If so, your bootloader is locked out and I don't believe there's much you can do besides running the stock ROM.

Unfortunately I did, thank you very much for the clarification
Hey everyone,
I haven't had an android since 2013 since the HTC one.
I'm looking for a permanent way to root, plus install recovery.
I'm used to the fastboot method. I've seen a lot of rather ''easy'' methods, but in my experience they're not permanent or reliable root, and make no mention about recoveries.
What do I need to root, install recovery, and update say firmware and baseband? Rogers s6 edge.
Please and thank you.
