You seem to be speaking about Knox bootloader, wich is not the same as a fully locked bootloader

First time you root your device you say goodbye to knox.

Hi,
You may be talking about Knox, which is very different from a locked bootloader! Check the Knox Q&A Thread on the stickies of S4 Q&A subforum to learn more .

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.

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.

I9505 is the quad core version of the s4
I9500 is the dual quadcore (octacore with littleBIG architecture)
This thread is to request for the former.

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 bootloader in International i9500 S4 is NOT locked. Only the AT&T S4 is locked.
