I just check my ZL and it says Bootloader Unlock Allowed - NO
Does that mean I will never be able to unlock the bootloader and install custom ROMS? I have my phone rooted and its also SIM free if that matters. Would someone be kind enough to explain the consequences?
TIA

Don't worry mate (if initially your "BL unlock allowed" was "yes")! I read it in the XZ rooting thread that if you root with a locked BL then you might have a bug resulting into BL unlock status to not allowed. Doomlord has also posted a fix for this, i think. Have a look at this thread. Hope it helps.

The thing is, I didn't check if I was allowed to unlock my bootloader before I rooted it (banging my head against a wall as I type this). Any way to find out?
EDIT: Nevermind, I see that I have to flash it and if I had an unlockable BL, the status changes to yes, and if not, then nothing changes. However, how do I flash this seeing as how there is no CWM out yet?
AW: Bootloader Unlock Allowed - NO!!
There is CWM:

But just for unlocked bootloader...
CWM for locked bootloader would be coming... krabapple is working on it...
hi mates,
if unlocking BL, i will lose BE2 & WM right? sr if this noob question was answered before
AW: Bootloader Unlock Allowed - NO!!
Yes, you loose that functionality.
And please don't ask the same question in several threads. Ask once and have patience until someone replies.

Morning all,
I have a new AT&T GS3 and am very confused if it is bootloader unlocked out of the gate, or do I need to unlock it? If I need to unlock what is the safest way to do so?
Thanks,
Steve
The I747 bootloader is unlocked. Check out the I747 link in my signature for more information on how to proceed. Cheers
Hi,
I got a Z1 compact and I need to remove the Simlock to use a SIM card from another carrier.
After reading a lot of other posts I'm assuming that I need to unlock the bootloader to do that.
The problem is, that the service info says that the bootloder unlock is not allowed..
Is there any possibility to unlock the bootloader anyway?
Thank you for any helpful answers.

There has been no exploit found yet
No. And will probably never happen either.

You don't need to unlock the bootloader to unlock the SIM. Those are 2 different unlocks.
Hey there, my 820 soon bl unlock with toolkit and root Re-lock is possible? and device re-lock after my warranty lost? please my questions help.

I will buy this device in 3 weeks. I've got the same question as above. Is there an option to relock bootloader via WinDroid or something?
Edit: Okay, I bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 (LTE-A version). Answer not needed.
Hello, I have an SM-T807T and I wanted to sim unlock it without the help of a code to manually unlock it. I've read threads to say I have to unlock the bootloader? Can I do this? If yes, how?? I'm looking at ways to unlock the tablet for free.

You already have an unlocked bootloader.
Network unlock has nothing to do with unlocking the bootloader.
I suggest you stump up and stop being tight. [emoji6]
