I have been researching for about a week now and I can't seem to find a way to unlock the bootloader...
there is the 15 Samsung emmc way, but I have the 11 Toshiba emmc and I'm running marshmallow... What do I do, can I only wait?

Y do you want to unlock bootloader but i guess you can unlock it via developer options

There is no bootloader unlock for 11, and likely won't be.
Is there anyway around it?

What exactly do you want to do that requires an unlocked bootloader?
I want to flash a custom recovery and a custom rom.

Flashfire to flash roms, no custom recovery for 11 though.
And I have to use flashfire through root correct?
If so what is your preferred rooting method?

Sorry if this is simple but having not looked into this until just now the answer seems to have fallen into "lore" status and, even after reading a bunch, I haven't found a clear answer. So...
1) Do you have to unlock the bootloader to root?
2) If the answer to Q1 is no, then what is the benefit of unlocking the bootloader? Is it be able to flash new roms, a different recovery, both or additional?
3) Can I simply run rooted stock without flashing a new rom? (Pretty sure the answer to this one is yes)
Thanks for the help!!

Hey all.
I've a question. In GT-i9500, is there the need to unlock bootloader as in Motorola devices before flashing custom ROMs. Or it comes with it's bootloader pre-unlocked?
Would be very glad on your response
Thank You!

in I9500 we can update bootloader and go back to old without problems and we can flash roms without need to unlock
Verizon and AT&T devices usually have locked bootloaders. Everything else should be unlocked.

Then we should first of all unlock bootloader before flashing roms?
Unless the S4 is a US model sold by AT&T or Verizon, which yours isn't, the bootloader will be unlocked. That means being able to update the bootloader, radio, and installing custom ROMs, as previously stated. Keep in mind the following: Samsung does not use fastboot, thus any commands you could use on a Motorola device will not work on a Samsung device. You will have to use Odin.

I-9500 came with factory unlocked bootloader.
If your phone really is i-9500 as you said,
install the custom recovery like TWPR or CWM via odin and
flash the custom rom of your choice via the custom recovery.

Ok thanks
l have a question if my i9500 says secure download enabled does that mean its bootloader locked +++
Asked and answered already in this thread. Unless your S4 is an SGH-I337 or SCH-I545 (AT&T and Verizon respectively) your bootloader will not be locked.

There's no fix to unlock bootloader problems
Return to stock or use AOSP 5.0.2 with locked bootloader.

AOSP doesn't requires changes in kernel
Since we have a kernel made from ASUS for 4.3, 4.4 and 5.0, any AOSP ROM from these Android version will work with stock kernel and locked bootloader.

You can install AOSP from fastboot, since it's an img file. But you have to unlock bootloader to install GApps via TWRP.
After flash all you need, you can flash stock recovery back and lock the bootloader.

Hello. I'm new to Android and all of this rooting and stuff but I want to try out flashing a custom ROM but I don't know how. Do you need to be rooted? I know about custom recoveries and stuff but I need to know exactly how.
EDIT: My model number is WAS-LO3T
My build number is WAS-LO3TC654B198
EDIT 2: I watched the One Click Root video. Is it safe? Is kingroot safe?
ANYONE? pls

For rooting phone need unlock bootloader and flash TWRP. Then yet flash root.
And forgot about king root. Only SU.

How to root link below (includes unlocking the bootloader). Follow the steps very carefully as this is your first time rooting. I am not to blame nor anyone here on xda if you end up with a bricked phone. If you use android pay this will no longer work, some bank apps will not work either FYI due to root.
At present there is only one custom rom available however this is not specifically made for our device but for the p8 lite. When I flashed it about a month ago there are some bugs still like camera not working. Hopefully some talented people will buy our device and develope a custom rom for us.

I have a carrier unlocked G935PVPSACSF1 and in the dev settings I can tick the unlock bootloader option. How do I go about rooting at least. And possibly getting custom ROMs/recovery? Thanks for anyone who can help.

in order to root, you have to have a custom recovery, not the other way around. Flash TWRP in Odin and install magisk in TWRP.
If that didnt make sense, i can further explain.

Thank you very much for the reply. Are there any dedicated forums for the device I have. I'm having trouble with mine because it came from sprint. I have unlocked the carrier and it gives me the option to unlock the bootloader in the dev options.

old thread, but it an aging phone

If your model is from Sprint it's not bootloader unlocked. You cannot flash TWRP and magisk without an unlocked bootloader.
