[Q] Unlocked bootloader?

I have read that all Note 3 have locked boot loader. If I purchased an unlocked Note 3 from i.e. Negri Electronics, would these come with an unlocked boot loader?
Are there any reseller that sells a Note 3 that is has both sim and boot loader unlocked?

Samsung does not sell locked bootloader like HTC
sim locked is something else, and yes u can buy ig sim free (unlocked) or just buy the unlock code

Only Verizon and ATT have locked bootloader I think, as post above states, all are unlocked by default.

AT&T's Note 3 bootloader is locked, Verizon's is too, but Verizon does offer developer edition, which has unlocked bootloader. T-Mobile's Note 3 bootloader is not locked. I'm not sure about Sprint, but you dont want to be Sprint customer anyway.
Disregard posts from people, who don't understand the difference between locked bootloader and network carrier lock and make posts about unlocking and unlock codes.

Which Carriers have the Unlocked Bootloader?

I am getting a free Note 3 from Rogers (Canadian Carrier), and i am wondering if this model has the unlocked bootloader. Does anyone have this model or know if i will be getting one with the unlocked bootloader?

Nope its different. sim unlock code need to be grabbed from carrier or bought from a service, but bootloader unlock code can be easily obtained

@TakuyaZ, as far as I know, all Japan phones which is sim-locked to the operator have a unlockable bootloaders (Bootloader unlock allowed: No). And even on the Sony site we could not select Japan models to get an bootloader unlocking code.
I've cheated Sony site, select Xperia Z1 Compact and provide IMEI of my Xperia A2 and get an unlocking code.
But, if I've understood correctly, we can not use it, because fastboot mode is deactivated (blocked) in bootloader.

Can i unlock the bootloader of a carrier locked phone?

I have the p10 lite and i was wondering if i could unlock the bootloader of the device, its locked on tesco mobile so i was wondering if its even possible to unlock the bootloader of a carrier locked device. I have managed to get and unlock code from Huawei myself now i was just wondering if unlocking the bootloader would cause any problems within the device. I was going to unlock the bootloader to root my phone and even install a custom rom but is this allowed when you're on a carrier locked device?
