Hi,
If you have the International variant ,you are fine.
Only the US AT&T variant is locked.

@OP: you have to press F8 while booting, if you'll see the options, then ur bootloader is unlocked....
... sorry, couldn't resist

Loki is great to get around the lock bootloader

1.Does this mean that i can flash a rom like cm10 normally?
2.Also i heard most roms come with root pre installed so does this mean if i flash a custom rom it will give me root access?

The I9505 doesn`t have a locked bootloader, it is fully rootable if that is what you mean. Only some US carriers have the bootloader locked down.

Well is it achievable? or do I have to guess?
It's achievable... Take a look in the original android development forum and there are kernels in there that allow u to OC...
I've got my s4 running up to 2.3ghz and it's reliable on mine but yours might be so stable..

To what end? It seems that these days people are treating android phones as pc rigs... Overclocking for the sake of simply doing so

I tried flashing that kernel and strange things started happening. The device started looping st the initial logo on boot. So I had to flash my rom again.
Any ideas?

CAllING DEV TEAMS !!

As we now have a working cm10.1.
Would it be possible for someone to port Sailfish OS or Ubuntu touch to i9505 jfltexx ?
Please like this post if your not a developer and this would be beneficial to you.
Thread bump
Please show support. No-one develops if there is no need for it in the community.
I'm sure the devs want to have an unlocked bootloader.

You would download Wicked, flash that, before you boot, flash your kernel that is made for YOUR device. It will work.
But can u do that with any ROM or carrier with my at&t s4?
