Has anyone from Canadian, bell or rogers carrier checked to see if their s4 are bootloader locked? Real curious on this thanks
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2
In the Official Canadian thread here there was a poster whose wife got her hand on a GS4 and he said he'd get back to us sometime today about the bootloader. Until Rogers gets itself together and sends us our phones checking back there is our best bet.
I'm eagerly awaiting this info too. I'm spot #775 in line with Rogers and if it is locked I'll cancel my order before it ships.
If it is not locked, there is a chance we can flash I9505 ROMs.
Im verry curious also
As I confirmed in the Canadian thread, the Rogers/Fido version is BL locked
Lol... glad I didnt buy it.....better not happen on note 3

No, the 0x30 string turned out to NOT be the indicator.
You have to try the CF-Auto-root to see if it's bootloader locked (and even that may not work despite an unlocked bootloader depending on your firmware version). There's no confirmation yet at the moment.

It will be locked. As with all other devices from now on most likely.

Sure. But its certainly a growing trend. Carriers dont want people to tether without paying for it. So they lock the bootloader. Thats why we have XDA and other forums.

You can tether without paying in Canada just turn on your wireless hotspot.

We don't pay for tethering in Canada. We just get 3 year contracts instead of 2. I personally prefer free tethering and 3 year contracts, because after 2 years, we can usually work out a deal with our carriers for a subsidy if we resign.

A three year contract for a phone seems very crazy to me. But then again I dont like to have the latest gadget every year. But even for the general consumer I feel bad for signing a three year contract. 3 years between a new device is a long time.

It doesn't end up being a full 3 years per device though, we can work out deals after 2 years, although, most probably don't know that.

The SGH-I337M is the same hardware as the SGH-I337 but has different QFuses configuration (Most likely FORCE_TRUSTED_BOOT not blown and a different RSA2048 PUB key set for the kernel checks, as I somewhat doubt Rogers and Telecel somewhat have a copy of AT&T's private RSA key, and obviously the base model name)

When I go in "ODIN" mode, it says in grey colour: WRITE PROTECTION: ENABLE
I had installed TWRP as well, but when I flashed a custom rom, the phone wouldn't boot up.
I had to download official ROM from samfirmware and flash it through ODIN and phone booted up.

Which ROM did you flash? CM10.1?

I Have the AT&T S4... should I switch to T-mobile S4? (bootloader issues)... I want to make the move before I can no longer return my AT&T S4... any thoughts? I know the AT&T S4 would tend to have more going on in terms of roms and development, but even well known devs are saying stay away from this version... seems like they dont think it's gonna happen soon at all.
From what I read on the T-Mobile forums they are still trying to figure out if the bootloader is locked like ours

right there with you, i've got 13 more days to return-no-questions-asked, just a little butt-hurt i already traded my lovely GS2 in :crying: should have kept that little sucker around until all this washed over. I would go over to HTC One, as it is developer-friendly, but i just can't bring myself to a non-reparable design as these USB ports at the bottom go after time, no swapable batt, and missing micro SD card (love having my pics there in case phone dies, while it's not the ultimate in security, it's at least a small form of backup). Also, the added screen real estate i think is the perfect phone size.
Really hoping the TMob version can be SIM swapped, might not make it to my return date to get confirmation on this....boo
I am thinking of going HTC one. Cant afford to wait a year for potential screw up where Samsung releases an unlock. There will be no unlock for boot loader u less Samsung or somebody working there leaks it.

Nice, thanks! My concern is that they are probably talking about sim unlock which is possible on At&T already, I wish we had someone who owns a t-mobile S4 and can confirm an unlocked or unlockable bootloader.
EDIT: Looks like according to the t-mobile forum theirs is unlocked bootloader. Im hoping we can just get the bootloader unlocked by then but if not.. plan B!

Wasn't your original question about where to buy a T-Mobile S4 without having a T-Mobile line? If so, that site claims to have them. If you are planning on using the T-Mobile S4 on AT&T networks it will need to be sim unlocked. Otherwise, I'm not sure why you are looking to buy a T-Mobile S4 without having a T-Mobile line. As far as the bootloader goes, AT&T is locked, T-Mobile is not, but that has nothing to do with a T-Mobile phone on an AT&T line? Maybe I am just not understanding what you are looking for?

Yes. It's been discussed may times on here. We won't get the unlock until the Verizon version comes out. It has been unlocked, but for the sake of a quick OTA to patch the phones, the dev is waiting for the VWZ version to be released.

My phone doesnt ask for a unlock code, After i inserted a GSM SIM card of a different country (India), it allowed to phone turned on.
It did not ask anything else... However when i selected global Network Mode, It did not let me search available network operators. The option to search the network operator after switching to Global network mode was not available.
I wonder why! I am not sure even if i purchase a unlock code, where do i enter it?
There is a free alternative for unlocking just by accessing dialer code. Found a thread around here at some point.

I tried unlock-code-world and they never could generate the unlock code. They did however refund my money. I guess you could always try a more expensive website but I'm not sure what their results will be. I did however get my galaxy s for unlocked through AT&T customer service. I looked on the international data coverage maps and found a tourist location that would be a reasonable vacation spot for Americans but also did not have great coverage through AT&T international. I've been told them I was going on vacation you need to leave the country for about a month I said so that if I use their international plans my charges would be outrageous therefore it would not be smart to use a high price international plan for so long I've been brought up the fact about unlocking my phone to use a local SIM card in this area.because I had good payment history and was with the company for least a year the on lock my phone gave me on lock codes for all 3 of my lines all 3 galaxy phones. It will be a case by case basis they determined based on payment history like the service this situation you're about to embark on.I was on the phone about 30 minutes put on a good show discussed international plans various options I couldn't let them decide to unlock it not really force the issue of them unlock it for megive it a try care for hundred percent free
Can anyone tell me where I can buy an unlock GSM version of the Galaxy Note 3 in the US with good customer service and full warranty of the phone.
I don't like buying from sellers on Amazon as if the phone fails, it might be really difficult to get warranty or return.
Last time I was able to buy the HTC One Unlock from HTC directly. But doesn't seem that Samsung has anything similar.
Thanks in advance

There are are a few places that I know have carried unlocked GSM phones in the past.Try www.negrielectronics.com or www.mobilecityonline.com or www.welectronics.com they should be able to get you what you want. I would also suggest getting a SquareTrade Warranty to cover it for damage since it will be pricey.
I can vouch for Negri Electronics, I've bought a GSM unlocked Galaxy S3 from them before. Does anyone know if there is a GSM unlocked version that works with AT&T LTE? Would really like to keep my unlimited data plan on AT&T. Thanks.
There will be options, but pretty much guaranteed that it will be an international version. Hence no LTE support..
ATT has been locking down the bootloader s recently and now the knox... No more development for ATT devices....

Most prbly by unlocked they mean Sim unlocked-you can use it on another carrier. I highly doubt that the bootloader is unlocked that if its the At&t version.

It is my understanding that unlocking your handheld without permission from your carrier has become illegal. You could only unlock your device with your carrier's permission. In any case, I think it is still kind of early to come up with a way of unlocking the device without the device being available to the masses.
T-Mobile and Sprint to do not lock their bootloaders. AT&T only started doing it lately and it's pretty random. They did lock the S4 bootloader, so I'm expecting the N3's to be locked as well. Verizon always locks their bootloaders. There's underground pre-planning going on right now, but the devices will need to be in hand to start tinkering effectively.
I believe he means sim unlock for use on other carriers!

If I'm not mistaken, the FCC pushed for the reversal of this.
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/05/technology/fcc-urges-a-right-to-unlock-cellphones.html
Regardless, if I own the device, I have no problem breaking a law I feel is unjust and unlocking it. Not to mention the fact that I do not reside in the US, so the law would not apply to me. I plan on unlocking mine on day one. Either via some "special menu" which is often found or a paid service.
I may be incorrect but I did read somewhere that they were making different versions for each country and that the one version cannot be used in the other countries.

It won't work. The bootloader is locked on the ATT version. That means no kernels. The kernel must be digitally signed by AT&T (or Samsung for AT&T) to work. That is why all roms for the AT&T version use the stock AT&T 4.3 kernel. If you want a freely customizable device sell the ATT version and get the Tmobile version. It works on AT&T.
