The flag does not exist at all in developer options.
Does this mean verizon version bootloader is not unlockable? (Locked down)

Thanks! I found something similar last night on a different site and it didn't seem to work. Later I will try factory reset + this procedure.
I know Verizon locks down the bootloader on the Pixels they sell... Hopefully not the same with their tablets!
Sorry to break it to you but the Verizon Galaxy Tab S4 has a locked bootloader that can't be unlocked. Pretty much any device you get on Verizon, you can expect to be locked down.

I'm on T-Mobile's website ready to order the S4 but I just want to know before I do if anyone knows for sure whether T-Mobile will lock the bootloader like AT&T.
Thanks!

source for this info? most are saying ATT/Verizon are locked the same whereas Sprint/T-Mob are locked the same. Sprint already has CM10.1 alphas...

Check post #3, he says his is unlocked using the motochopper.
Obtaining root is not related to the bootloader in any way.
According to this article - http://www.xda-developers.com/android/official-and-confirmed-att-galaxy-s-4-is-bootloader-locked/ - start of paragraph 3 - it's unlocked.
Still waiting for confirmation.
My bad. When I posted I read somewhere its locked lol

Most likely that may have been in one of my posts.. at the time AT&T _did_ have a verifiable bootloader (I wouldn't call it locked, per se; it just checks the boot and recovery images to make sure it's AT&T approved and is good on their network. and if AT&T images aren't used (or otherwise fooled), it'll result in a brick).
and that's awesome that the motochopper can be used to unlock bootloaders now.. motorola xoom (IIRC) all over again...

Motochopper is a root exploit. It does not unlock bootloaders.
Can anyone confirm this 100% one way or the other?

I'm getting my T-MO G3 returned soon and would like to unlock the bootloader asap but I'm not exactly sure how. Is it just FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK or is there something else?

Whenever I've unlocked a bootloader, it wipes the device. I'd rather do that before I set it up with my apps and accounts.

Correct me if I am wrong but every phone comes with a locked bootloader even the nexus line you need to unlock. We really need to stop calling encrypted bootloaders locked. So this phone isn't encrypted but surely it is locked.
Our G3 is the only one that's unlocked.

I'm confused I have an note 3 verizon. I am trading in my note 3 becaues of lock down bootloaders. will the G3 be easier to unlock? I have been reading that T moblie is the only one that comes unlocked.... Hmmm need some help befoere I jump Thanks
Guys. There is a difference between unlocked and unlockable. This being unlocked means there's nothing really to do. That's why it's so unusual.

I believe It's unlocked. Rooted with twrp
Unlocked, just rooted and installed twrp, nothing else to do about it.

When will the Verizon variant get Oreo? Also is there any development going on as far as ROMs go for the Verizon unit? Any way to root and to safely go back to stock?

You can relock the bootloader, but the warranty void flag (via getvar) will still be tripped.

Would be awesome if we did; just came from Verizon Droid turbo (Moto Maxx) and the bootloader was not unlocked until sunshine devs made it possible. Not sure if they, or anyone else, is trying.

I just checked apparently my phone is the 2pw2100 021-A ...I know you could root it with 7.0.. but I updated as soon as I got the phone ...is there a way to root it still ?
i believe that means its oem locked to verizon, you would need to contact them about unlocking it but im not sure if verizon will, im in the UK but from what i hear verizon wont help much

:/ Okay thanks
smail amzdak on facebook solve your problem

You bought a Verizon variant. With Verizon models you can't check "oem unlock" so you can't unlock the bootloader. You are stuck with a locked phone. No root.

Maybe, the people on this thread: Verizon Pixel Bootloader unlocked? by EstiR86
Had their Verizon Pixel/Pixel XL unlocked by Smail. You can also reach him via ebay: item 222913601503
thats the best, and only bet. good luck.
I'm guessing that there's not and probably won't be any development on the A505-U, the Verizon variant of this phone? It's been a while but I'm guessing Verizon is still locking bootloaders and making it impossible...
its locked ??? try to unlock in dowloand mode says press up and hold

I would assume so, as there is no oem unlock option on the phone.
