Is my bootloader locked? and is there a way to tell?

is my bootloader locked?
i just bought a Galaxy Note 3 sim unlocked at&t 4.4.2 sm-n900a
""""""(this question is the most important to me even if my initial question gets answered) is there a way to check like through a app or adb or something like that to see if the bootloader is lock or not?"""""
i already rooted it and want to know for sure before i throw on Safestrap so i don't brick my new phone.
i want to flash a rom.
Also my note 3 is asking me to update the firmware if i do will that lock it or unlock the bootloader if it is or isn't?

The bootloader on the att note 3 is definitely locked and cannot be unlocked which also means you must use safestrap. Twrp is not an option with a locked bootloader.

what version of safestrap 3.75?

Unfortunately, I don't have access to an att note 3 so I can't make any recommendations about safestrap. My note 3 is the n900w8.

I've got 3.75 on my Note 3

Please can i install an s9rom on my note3at&t using safetrap

No, an s9 ROM cannot be installed to the AT&T Note 3 if it has a locked bootloader.

You should try to fastboot flash via MiFlash a Global Developer, check the signatures then try to flash TWRP and everything else.

Mi flashing en.miui.com global beta nougat ROM would fix this issue, another method would be to wait for the next miui update and flash that im TWRP

I think that a thorough deep clean with a Fastboot flash will do only good. I would avoid TWRP flashes in this particular case.

Next miui update from xiaomi should. But yes go download miflash and flash the official beta rom from en.miui.com, backup your whole sdcard/data partition onto your computer

It's not the first time that me and others are suggesting to @puhu to fastboot flash, but he keeps flashing stuff through TWRP by a lot of time.
Phones sometimes must be restored otherwise you'll encounter only troubles.

why keep asking about those hardware tests
those are only for securety purposes (modified boot.img checks and so on)
If we miss N sources it's normal that it could lead to some test failed
if you flash normally through twrp miui 7.1.19 and then flash a kernel with AnyKernel2 zip that DOES NOT modify boot.img, signatures check are okay!
so please, stop

New ZUK Z2 Pro user needs help?

Hi, i have just bought a Z2 Pro and i have a few questions on what's the best setup i can do with it and put onto it. I think i have the international ROM on the device as it came with Google Play store and it has plenty of languages to choose from.
In Settings/About it states it has Android 6.0.1 and ZUI Version 2.3.044 ST on it.
I cannot for the life of me find how to check if there is an update for the ZUI on the phone so i am wondering how i can go about updating the firmware without voiding any warranty. I have limited experience in rooting phones and i would like to see if i can live with the latest ZUI version before delving into custom ROM'S to be honest.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to upgrade the official international firmware for the ZUK Z2 Pro?
Regards
Stuart

it seems you've an unofficial vendor ROM
so you need to unlock bootloader and then flash with QFIL tool proper stock ROM or custom ROM (GizRom Nougat 7.x).
you will find all infos here: zukfans.eu/community/forums/zuk-z2-pro.4/

Thank you for clearing it up for me. I will look into bootloaders and flashing a ROM version onto it to get a more up to date version of android.

With QFIL you don´t need to unlock your bootloader

I managed to update to the latest ZUI but if i am honest it's not to my liking as half of the apps and writing is in Chinese so it's got to go.
I am now looking at how to put a custom Nougat ROM on that doesn't have many problems on the Z2 PRO. I believe i will have to figure out how to root the phone and possibly unlock the bootloader before flashing.
Are there any guides in how to flash a custom ROM on this site and what would be considered the best ROM to use?
Regards
Stu

I followed this guide which worked fine for unlocking the bootloader and rooting : https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z2-pro/how-to/howto-install-mokee-7-1-1-unofficial-t3582686
Except instead of flashing Mokee, I recommend flashing this version of AICP : https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z2-pro/development/rom-aicp-12-1-n-zuk-z2-pro-t3596836 . It's not officially supported by AICP but it's the only one I found where everything works perfectly, including customizing the U-touch gestures, and it comes with Magisk to manage root which is nice I think. Just don't forget to deactivate the 3 Chinese apps that are bundled with the ROM.

Hi! I purchased the MiMIX upon launch and have been using it in Canada on the Rogers/AT&T network without issue. However, I've never received any prompts to do any system updates (currently my version is MIUI 8.0.8.0). I see that there have been a few updates since launch. Is there some reason I didn't get the OTA notifications? Where is a reliable download site to find official latest releases?
Thanks!

Thanks lesscro. To confirm, would I use the Recovery Rom or the Fastboot Rom to update? I'll be updating from the original rom that the phone came with (8.0.8.0).

I got the update as well. Just installed it. It changed the font slightly and made all the icons look more ugly . Wish I'd never updated . I don't understand why they're releasing small MIUI 8 updates when MIUI 9 is out ! When will I get a global stable MIUI 9 update via OTA???

Actually MIUI 9 is in beta stage for Global branch...

Can anyone help on how to install this on rooted mi mix?

Official ROM actually or xiaomi.eu Rom ?
8.5.4.0 -Android 6.0 - MIUI Official ROM Global
8.5.4.0 -Android 6.0 - Xiaomi.eu ROM
Both can be flashed via TWRP....

When will it be fully released and sent via OTA ?

If u are on Global stable, maybe when stable will be available... if you use beta program then you can upgrade via OTA...
