Hey guys,
a friend of mine has a Galaxy S4 GT-i9515 and wants to get a Custom Rom. I know how to flash the Rom on it and how to make a backup and and and. But the one thing i don´t know is, how I can unlock the bootloader. It would be really nice if someone can show me a Thread or at least tell me how to do it. I searched for a Thread, but i could not find one for the GT-i9515, just for the other models and i dont want to do something wrong. Thats the reason I ask you
Thank you from now
I don't think there are any I9515 models with locked bootloaders.
Don't run any bootloader unlock apps on the phone as this will probably brick the phone.

Heya. I was wondering that is there a method for root on the s5 on 5.0. (there must be) but i was wondering with locked bl? Its ok if its unlocked if i get a great how to guide how to unlock the bl. Model number up on the title. I have no idea of any unlocking or anything with samsung devices. This s5 is the only samsung device i have. And as i dont use it at all, i need root and (if i can) unlocked bootloader, so i can get it to some use. I have alot or well experience with unlocked bootloader/rooted xperias but samsung is a whole new world to me lol. The basics must be same but its still another world from sony. So ? Im too lazy to read any other rooting threads for the s5 so i just want quick and helpful answers thx!
I know about cf autoroot but i heard that its risky
Also i want android 4.x.x.! That is my main wish for my s5.
Yes it is possible, there are plenty of guides here

P.s im noob in the android world. Please help
I own an Samsung S5 Prime (SM-G906L) running on Android 6.0.1. At its age, yes it still works quite fast(S805+3gb ram).
Is there any way to unlock its bootloader? I can't literally do anything with it. I was planning to root and install a custom rom.
may want to check these types of threads out, I dont own this device nor have i played with it, but maybe some good info can be found here for you

I tried rooting the phone using cf auto root, etc but I came across some info that in order to root and install a custom rom, bootloader should be unlocked. And the thing is, I can't find any way to unlock it. It's really frustrating.
