Is AT&T version carrier locked ?

Someone offered me an E970 bought from AT&T and he says it is unlocked.
Does it mean someone unlocked it ? it is permanently unlocked then ?

My man! This is not the AT&T OG Thread!!

Are there HTC 10 Variants (e.g.: Bell Mobility vs. Unlocked Canada vs. US?)

I'm looking to buy a HTC 10 at the lowest cost possible and it is currently
CAD$999.99 directly from HTC Canada
CAD$899.99 from Bell Mobility Canada
USD$699.99 directly from HTC USA
I was wondering if there were hardware variants of the HTC 10? I'm looking to take advantage of the unlocked bootloader to directly override the roms.
I'm actually on Bell Mobility so is there a specific modem I need to get to have the best LTE signal?
Yes.
You're gonna have to get the Unlocked/developer version.
The region identifier for that version is 617.
Check this link for the rest of the IDs

Is the Canada Unlocked the same as the US unlocked?
Yes it is. I ordered the unlocked phone from HTC Canada and I received the US unlocked version. It actually came from Indiana even.

Cool thanks, have you unlocked the bootloader, trwp, s off and installed any roms?
Is the modem also the same for Canadian carrier support?
No, I haven't done anything of the sort with this phone yet. I would believe it's the same modem as the US variant as well. Can't see how it would be different.

Check for model number.
All models begin with the ID prefix XT1635
-01 is the Verizon Bootloader Locked Variant
-02 is the Internat. GSM Unlocked Variant
-03 is the Chinese retcn variant
-02/-03 both have unlocked bootloaders; however, on -03 you will not receive OTAs (at least as what I've heard).
If you do purchase an -03, definitely flash a custom ROM. There's a thread detailing how to enable basebands on all models- I'd check it out if you're anywhere but China as the -03 variant is missing a ton of bands for use in the US (or Europe, for that matter).

oh, ok. i understand now. thanks! phone seems great so far

The difference between the variants? XT1710-01

I can't seem to find which XT1710 variant is going to be the US unlocked version that supports all major carriers in the US. I believe it is the XT1710-01, Verizon is XT1710-02, International GSM is XT1710-06. Is this correct? I am wanting to buy a Z2 Play but I want the unlocked USA version that I can use with Verizon but also have unlockable bootloader ( so not the XT1710-02 ), so I'm thinking XT1710-01 is the one I want. Thanks

You are correct. I have that same model. You have to be careful altering it from stock though. I lost my IMEI and have been unable to get it back. I wish I could tell you how to avoid my mistake.

Are all g9600/g9650 bootloader unlocked?

I recently saw an item g9650 in the description it said:
"This is a south america version samsung s9+ 64Gb SINGLE SIM with locked bootloader. Note here again this is single sim version, and the bootloader is NOT UNLOCKABLE. This will work only on ATT and TMOBILE"
Does this mean that only DS models are bootloader unlocked?

yes. the only S9s that have locked bootloaders are the USA variants. I do believe tho that the 9650s are GSM only tho despite having the snapdragon processor
