Come on guys go over there and kick in some money. I'm returning mine tomorrow and I'm still kicking in 50.
I pledged $35, although I may raise that after some thought.
Come on guys! If you are at all interested in pitching in for a bounty to find an exploit for rooting our S5, head on over and pledge any amount!
I pledged $50 but in two weeks im going to up mine to $100
Is there a reason why anyone can't just get the T-Mobile S5 and unlock it for use on AT&T?

Perhaps some people don't feel like paying $700 upfront, plus other charges to sim unlock.
I don't understand the logic of offering a bounty in a forum for a different phone. Yes, Verizon has locked their bootloader as AT&T has, but there is no reason to believe that one hack would work for the other.

Since both bootloaders are locked and root will depend on a kitkat exploit there is a better chance that it would work for both than you think.

I think it would depend on the exploit. If the exploit has to do with the hacking the key used to encrypt the bootloader, the assumption that it would work in both versions would rely on another assumption that they are both signed with the same key. Either way, it may prove to be difficult, it it may take so long that nobody will really care anymore because most people will have moved on to a different phone.
I bought mine after owning an S4 Active. A root exploit exists (for now), but the bootloader is still locked after almost a year. Flashing a ROM on that phone involves using Safestrap, which is tedious. I hope you're right, and I hope that someone finds an exploit. I miss being able to simply flash a new ROM using CWM or TWRP.

That's my thoughts. I've been waiting on the s4 active (unlock bootloader) for a yr almost. Lol.
Now it's time for a upgrade , I'm not sold on the s5 yet there are a couple phones out there I might consider.. What phones are not locked anymore with AT&T.?

Maybe not the bootloader unlock but at least a root method.
The thing is with the active, many factors are the reason why the bootloader was not unlocked.
1. It was a side version of the popular S4, not too many ppl got that phone since they already had the S4.
2. It was only available on AT&T and wasn't a major release
3. There wasn't a huge bounty like there is for the S5

Upwards of $700 for the phone + whatever charges you incur to SIM unlock. A lot of people don't feel like dishing out that much money upfront...and rightfully so.

You paid $52 because its on contract. Off contract prices are between $550 -700 right now depending on condition, accessories etc... Those are regular prices. Is it a lot of money? Yes. But its the regular price.

Haha, my heart skipped a few beats there when I read the title. Damn it
Moto shipped the D3 with a locked bootloader, but they will unlock later this year (supposedly).
Plus, per their quote from another Engadget article
We completely understand the operator requirement for security to the end user, and as well, want to support the developer communities desire to use these products as a development platform. It is our intention to enable the unlockable/relockable bootloader currently found on Motorola XOOM across our portfolio of devices starting in late 2011, where carriers and operators will allow it

Motorola will make the first move with the bootloaders, then Verizon (or whoever else) will make theirs. Dunno how long between Motorola and us getting the unlock, but they can delay the process

It's a locked bootloader running 2.3.4 which is extremely tough to crack. Plus you add in the fact that every single known exploit is blocked, that's the development delay.

I doubt we'll see the bootloader unlocked. Look at HTC even. They've released their list of devices they'll be allowing the web-based unlock to happen with and it's over a dozen deep with not a single Verizon device on the list. It's Verizon that doesn't want us to have the unlock, not Motorola.
If Motorola really wanted us to have an unlock they would leak it. Maybe Googlorola will instead?

Motorola probably has a contract with Verizon that they will not unlock the phones without their permission first, which they would be breaching and surely be sued for if they simply just went ahead and did it.

The Atrix bootloader can be unlocked. It might void some or all of your warranty, but it can be unlocked.

I''ve done the research for you. None of the major carriers will activate an unlocked phone. Only one is T-Mobile. You can get a SIM card for ten bucks and pay twenty a month for 550 mb. That's what I did.

It's not a phone. That is something to keep in mind. You can use Google Voice or other call-over-data software, but there isn't native phone functionality. It's great as a camera that can still run applications, but if you are looking for a phone first with a great camera second, it probably shouldn't be the first choice.
As for activation, most carries do not WANT to activate an unlocked device, but if it has a clean ESN, they will eventually agree. Worst case, you get whatever free 4g piece of garbage they are offering, pop the sim in the one you want and put theirs on eBay. That is if you even need 4g, which in this case you would.
Not entirely true. If you have an unlocked Galaxy Camera, you can get T-Mobile data plan for $20 bucks (550 mb). Using Google voice and Talkatone, you have a functional phone. No difference whatsoever from a regular smartphone. As a matter of fact, I turned off my S3 and was getting regular calls through "the camera."
My only warning is make sure it's unlocked. Amazon sent me an AT&T locked phone instead of the unlocked that they advertised. I did return it and I'm waiting to get a new "unlocked" phone today. Also, boot in odin mode to make sure it's not a used phone. Mine had been flashed 5 times by someone else and then sold to me as new. Beware, lot's of crooks out there.

It rather blows my mind that every other carrier supports it other than Verizon, I think it says a lot about them and their policies, becoming more and more locked down (think Knox for S4 and others). It makes me think a lot about George Orwells Nineteen Eighty-Four....

Barely, It does support Band 4 LTE and CDMA. VZW operates mostly on Band 13 LTE and just lit up Band 4.
The modem itself should support all bands because the baseband is the same in the Note 3, LG G2 etc. It should support Cat 4 LTE but the spec list does not necessarily list that.

The T-Mobile S5 is worth more because of the unlocked bootloader. You can sell the AT&T S5 for about $550 and get a mint T-Mobile S5 for the same price if you're lucky and negotiate on Swappa. Then you'll have to unlock it for about $30. Its all worth it in my opinion.

The thing is the T-Mobile S5 will almost always show a full signal bar. When I had the TMO S5 it would show 4-5 bars with a -100-110 dbm signal. ATT signal is much stronger and therefore it will almost always show five bars with a -90, -80-dbm signal.

I can see your point on this one. If the phone is unlocked then you'd be fine. You would be getting service with AT&T, not T-Mobile or Sprint lol.

I have never understood the mentality of "just go buy it from another carrier." Some do not have $650 just laying around to make that happen. Another thing I don't seem to understand is all the dislike of subsidiaries. I have been with AT&T for over 10 years and never had an issue. My bill does not seem to be affected when I get an upgrade either, so I don't see the logic of paying full price for a phone from another carrier and remain on another one. It would seem like I am paying more out of pocket that way.

That thread has been around since August. I would venture to say if there was a way, we would have it here. It's unfortunate, but it really doesn't cause nearly as many issues as people think it would. There have been plenty of members to make warranty claims and return their devices to T-Mobile and a word hasn't been said. Most workers at T-Mobile probably don't even know to look for it; they have so many phones they deal with on a daily basis that checking for knox being tripped isn't on their priority list.
I'm using it on ATT though and bought off contract.

And it seems like after rooting, we must flash a custom rom or else some of the features will not work.
I hope to be getting a job in a couple of months, and would love to use my note 4 there. But not sure if they will let me use a phone with Knox tripped.
Rent a center is considered as... Sort of a provider. They have an agreement with Samsung which enables them to install custom firmware, which if it is similar to their laptops, allows them to "lock" the device if their RIDICULOUSLY expensive payments are not made. Its fraud insurance in a way.
I am not sure how you would go about getting around knox. But I wouldn't hold my breath. Its looking like it might be a little while...
