If status shows, that Boodloader Unlock allowed: NO, then it can't be change to YES.
You have hard locked your bootloader by your carrier or something else.
If you was on 4.1 ROM or sth, and then the status was YES, but after installation to the newer android version if became "NO", then it can be reverted to the previously status ("YES") with flashing .ZIP (search in forum, I've did that and it worked for me, but I can't remember what was it named like, 'cause I've did that ~ 8 months ago).
Hope helped

Is it so hard to answer this question? Well, you've warned him, but you haven't answered his queston..
He's new here and it doesn't take too much time from you to answer 1 or 2 sentences.

Hi.
So I know there can be very stupid sayings so immediately say:
I got my friend's Android , didn't tell me anything about it, but I know that it was ROOTED and stock ROM.
Now i am GingerDX 2.3.7, there werent any funny stuff, installed it good ( abt 4 months ago)
So I want to ask about the kernel and bootloader.
That's what I want to install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672635
(Do not judge. I love Android, but I want iOS style. Simply do not buy an iPhone because I am not a millionaire. Do not flame.)
Or if you just dont want to click, it says:
"ROM requirements:
First latest baseband
Second Unlocked bootloader
3rd CWM Recovery
4th Best naa kernel / kernel Alf! "
Latest baseband - idk, mine ends with 015, as far as I heard its the latest (?)
Bootloader don't even know, really want o find out
CWM recovery is there
Kernel seems i have stock - (02/06/29 SEMCUser SEMCHost @ # 1)
So I want to ask you, how to know whether the bootloader unlocked / unlocked
What is my kernel?
Thanks for the answers, I hope there will be any. ( I HAVE USED SEARCH, DONT SAY THAT I TRIED IT.)
( Sry for bad english)

ive been on here for 1hour + and all people post about if how to install bootloader and stuff quit spamming and just help me out
This is everything you need
Scroll down and you'll find "How to check if your phone has an unlocked bootloader" simple tutorial.
If your phone's manufacture date is 11W29 or past 11W29, do not attempt to unlock bootloader as your phone might end in a hardbrick. How to know that? simply put out battery and you will see something like 11wXX in your phone
@IAmNice

I understand what you're saying. But in defense of IAmNice, topics like this have been answered a lot of times already and can be solved by doing a simple search. Letting threads like this go on may encourage new members to not search and just make a new thread for these kinds of questions.
@op: please search. There are threads around to help you. Use s1tool.

Hi guys,
First i would lie to apologize to start this thread, as many have threads with a similar question were been asked. As I still cant find the correct answer, hence I am starting this thread.
I am currently of JB Stock ROM 4.1.2(20A-ESA-XXX) and i have just rooted my device few mins back without any kind of hassles using the the method given in this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180688).
I am willing to install a custom rom, but without unlocking the bootloader it wont be possible. Request you guys to direct/show me the correct way to unlock my phones bootloader.
Thanks & Regards,
Bhavik

Hi guys!
I have the x3 compact since 3. October and i'm thinking about rooting it.. I have experience with the arc s and i dont want to unlock the bootloader because the z3 compact will get lots of updates for sure and then i can flash almost every rom with locked bootloader..
Is there any method now to root it or no way at the moment?
Thank ya anyways,
Yours slimy!

Wrong forum and answered like 50 times. I could answer it I suppose, but do a search.

Why there's no answer, no one uses custom rom? If my topic has a problem say to me what is that.

Okay since you asked, your question literally clashes the rule of xda; never ask what is best
I strongly suggest trying every ROM that you found for locked bootloaders, and decide the one that worked best for you, rather than asking the community's preferences.
For a quick recommendation, use Bagyusz CM11 for locked bootloader if you prefer Cyanogenmod.

If your bootloader is unlockable, I recommend unlocking it (but backup TA partition first). With that, you can enjoy almost anything with less risk of brick. Moreover, shortcut to fix things if your XSP was bricked.
For more ROMs visit this index thread, and see under the category "hijacked ROMs". Have fun!
Anyhow, here's the thread link to the ROM I have mentioned earlier.

Sry u said "with less risk of brick",is it true? I heared After unlocking bl u should be careful because it may brick your phone. So if I install an unistall roms on my lbl phone, it may brick while if I use unlocked bl there won't be any brick?

Please note the word "less"
Actually after unlocking, that is when you can enjoy freedom but still, possible brick is still there. What I meant by "less brick" is that, you can now flash anything on your phone, regardless if that particular something was built for locked bootloaders or unlocked bootloaders.
Compared to locked bootloaders, you must know what you are doing, or else may result in a brick.
I also assume that you know the differences between hard brick and soft brick. This post explains soft brick only.
So if I install an unistall roms on my lbl phone, it may brick while if I use unlocked bl there won't be any brick?

I am also confused with your question Let me answer with my best understanding..
You can't uninstall a ROM on your phone! Well at least, in the terms of such definition.. Second, if you use unlocked bl, possibility of brick is still there. Let's just say brick can happen anytime anywhere. There has been cases of which phones suddenly hard bricked when in fact the user does not do anything on their device! Always prepare for the worse.
--
To wrap things up, in a VERY general way, UBL gives you less brick risk.
Sorry if these questions sound dumb, I'm coming from and HTC one M8 and when i owned it everything was already rooted and many ROMs out so it was fairly easy to gain information about that phone. I now have my phone rooted using PingPongRoot, does this mean I am now able to install custom recovery and get a custom ROM installed or is there something we're still waiting for with the at&t version?
No. We need an unlocked bootloader. Thank AT&T for that.

If you are a senior member, then you should know that questions belong in the Q&A section. Development is for development posts, not questions. This needs to be moved to said section.
Yes, absolutely, we can install touch wiz based roms, ala the att s5. We just need an interested developer. Anything non touch wiz requires a different kernel, which e cannot change due to the locked boot loader. I suspect since safestrap is dead, we'll have to use Flashfire. I've tried a couple roms from the general section already, but I couldn't get them to boot past the welcome sound.

Why is that? The lg g3 could run Optimus UI and CyanogenMod without an unlocked bootloader.
The question itself really does not make you seem dumb, the location of the question on the other hand..

Lmao and there's that... I didn't even notice when I replied. Lol
More than dumb. Posted the question in the General section under the thread titled: "Dump S6 AT&T stock ROM" started by gjimenez, post #25, and 4 minutes later started this new topic in the wrong section, with a copy & paste of that post, not following the forum rules. What a senior member!!!
You're all correct, I'll delete this thread, as it is in the wrong section. How do I remove this thread?
I think only a mod can delete it.
