I have a note 3 from att (not connected to any network. it is carrier unlocked) is there a way to unlock my bootloader yet? i want to root with no problems like frp lock
The bootloader may not be locked if it is running an older rom, such as 4.2.
If the bootloader is locked, there's no way to unlock it.
Bootloadwr
I have 5.0

Just wanted to ask some devs if bootloader lock implementation is carrier specific or common to all bootloader locked GN3 models? For example, if an exploit is found to unlock the bootloader on one of the GN3 models - what's the likelyhood it'll work on another GN3 model?
Hi. I have a Samsung galaxy note 3 and it rooted. After the root I wanted a different service so I have t-moble. I downloaded the region lock away and went through the steps. After my phone was rebooted it still ask me for a unlock code after installing the region lock away. The note 3 is a att phone. Need help
What rom is on the phone? I believe region lock away will only work with certain modems.
I don't have safe strap installed with different roms. It's the original rom and the phone is rooted
If the rom is too new, I don't think region lock away will work. For example, the s4 the modem must be 4.2.2 with root before region lock away will sim unlock the phone.
Oh ok. Well I'm 5.1 android version. Is there another way I can do this instead of paying for an unlock code?
The only way to unlock would be to get an unlock code. If you're not on ATT and the phone is not blacklisted, maybe contact AT&T.

I have a note 8 on AT&t prepaid. The bootloader is locked. I would like to upgrade to the 9. Is there a variant that works on AT&t prepaid that will allow me to root? Unlocked phone are just carrier unlocked right? Will the unlocked Sammy still let me root?
Thanks in advance.

I don't use AT&T, but yes unlocked phones just mean sim unlocked. Not the same as bootloader unlocked.
U.S. models are bootloader locked so no root there. Exynos models and N9600 are bootloader unlocked. You would need to check the available bands on those models to ensure they match your carrier, or wait until someone on AT&T confirms
Hello,
I recently got a new S21 Ultra and I was trying to unlock the bootloader & flash stuff.
I haven't rooted phones for a few years, so I am unsure how much has changed. As far as I know, EU Exynos models have unlockable bootloaders, don't they? My S8 did back then.
As I noticed the OEM Unlock option Is missing from the dev. settings. Fastboot can't seem to detect the device either. If I go to DL mode, I see a line OEM Lock: on(L).
My build number is: G998BXXS6EWBB
One UI: 5.1
Is my BL completely locked or is there any hope that it can be unlocked?
Hi I just wanted to ask if I can flash a SM-N960U firmware on my Samsung Note 9 (SM-N960U1) Device so maybe I can unlock my bootloader and flash a Custom ROM.
and if I can just unlock the bootloader without flashing a different firmware because I don't see the OEM unlock option.
US Samsung phones have been bootloader locked since the S7. U and U1 models are both bootloader locked.
