You need to read each sections titles in the link above. You'll find your situation if you read them carefully. ?
i believe your situation is, you can't root anything over android 4.4.2.

All of the devices that GOT 4.4.3 -- they can all have their BL unlocked. All rootable.
Remember: the only devices that CAN'T be bootloader unlocked (officially, at least) are Verizon (non-dev), AT&T, and Republic Wireless. All the others can be rooted regardless of android version.
I've been reading and it seems there are certain build numbers that can't be rooted or unlocked. Can someone spell out for mewhat I need to look for when purchasing a s5 so that I can unlock and root it? Thanks in advance.

It is the AT&T and Verizon Galaxy S5's that can't be bootloader unlocked. This is also the reason why you aren't able to root as easily either.
So if I buy an unlocked device, I'll be good?

No. You need to get the phone from Tmobile (tmobile version). Both ATT and Verizon has bootloader locked.

You need to buy a T-Mobile or international device those bootloaders aren't locked
Motorola X4 Models :
-XT1900-01 USA Carrier Friendly / Project Fi Model
-XT1900-07 Amazon Alexa Model
I spoke to Motorola to find out model numbers and if the 01 Model is Bootloader Unlockable, and unfortunately it is not.
what? then how come is root only tested and working allegedly on xt1900-1? I'm getting so confused haha. I only know mine is xt1900-6.
The bootloader is unlockable on the XT1900-01
I want to get this phone, but I'm afraid of getting the wrong phone for Verizon and getting stuck with a locked bootloader phone.

Yes hope for the best.
From what we've been able to discern from testing is just the opposite of what the CS agent told you. The Amazon version is the one you can't unlock the bootloader (probably because they are afraid you can disable the lock screen ads that way). Nobody's paid Amazon yet to remove them (apparently you can pay the difference between the "with ads" version and the regular retail price if you want Amazon to remove them), so we don't know if that enables bootloader unlock or not.

I'm pretty certain there is no Verizon version of the X4.
AFAIK, in the US there are three versions:
Amazon Prime Ads
Android One
Unlocked for all major carriers

I didn't mean to imply that any version of the X4 would not work on Verizon. My wife has the US Unlocked X4 and we use Verizon.
I mean to say that Verizon does not sell the X4. There is no Verizon branded X4, that I know of.
I have the Amazon version with ads and Alexa but my model# is :XT1900-1
Will I be able to unlock the bootloader?

Follow the instructions on this website (to see if it can be unlocked) - You don't have to actually unlock the device.

Report back here and let us know. I have the XT1900-1 and I unlocked the bootloader.

So let me get this straight, I could buy the Google Fi version and pop my Moto x pure Sim card in and activate the phone on Verizon's network correct?

Recently bought one with a dual sim, it is international unlocked but has the Snapdragon 845, from what I heard only exynos has a unlocked bootloader? Aloha !
That is correct from what I understand as well, I wouldn't try it and wait for someone to develop a root hack workaround
I was under the impression that the HK 9600 snapdragon was bootloader unlocked.

What region fw is on your phone? We probably will need China, or Hong Kong fw flashed, then crom will work. Then any n9600 fw can be flashed, and bl will still be unlocked. Unfortunately my n9600 still isn't here.
Edit, I forgot, after you enable developer options, you have to wait 7days for oem unlock to appear.
Or try the attached image way. Ugh, wish I had my phone.

China fw. Flash it in Odin, use crom to unlock bl, then flash whatever fw you please as long as it's for n9600.

Any luck? Once we get bl unlocked, we will need someone to work on twrp., Then root.
Hi, I'm thinking of buying a SM-T707 on ebay. would I be able to put android 7 on or would I be stuck with 6?
thanks.
T707 what?
The letter is important. It's likely it will be a carrier bootloader locked device and therefore not customisable.
