Is there anyway to relock the bootloader
i just bought this for my mom, and it came unlocked
and i want it to be as stock as it can be
10.1 us version 16gb
If you haven't done anything to it then it is stock... They are coming unlocked from the manufacturer, so there isn't really any need to have it locked.
thanks
so ill be able to update it, an use all of the stock services?
Of course. Why would Samsung cripple their device like that right out of the gate?

I have the International Original N7000 Note. It is unlocked and I have used it on ATT since it came out. I'm rooted and have Rocket ROM on it
Since it was always my phone, I never worried about ATT giving me a hard time about it being Rooted.
But I am thinking of upgrading to the new Note 3 from ATT.
I'm sure ROMs will be developed for it.
What are the pitfalls with ATT if I root the phone? Other than they wouldn't support it if I bricked it.
Will they Brick it with an Update?
Will they detect it is rooted and give me a hard time?
Looks pretty sharp and I can sell my Unlocked International note for some pretty good change still. But I know I'll want to root the phone.
The AT&T boot loader is locked. It will need to be cracked before a custom ROM is possible, and the S4 hasn't been cracked since the original vulnerability was "fixed" .
You may be out of luck with AT&T.
:crying:

Hmmm, so none of the ATT branded notes could be rooted?
I'll have to look into some other LTE version perhaps.

They may sell the international version, but I don't know if that's unlocked/ rooted. Keep in mind, carrier unlocked isn't the same. e as bootloader unlocked

I see on youtube about Custom ROMs being loaded on ATT Note I and II.
So I'm trying to figure out what you guys are talking about here.

I am unable to boot into bootloader on ATT model :/
Lol as expected from Sprint and AT&T. Dont get me wrong, i wish they had bootloader unlocked because the more bootloaders unlocked for different carriers, the more chances to duplicate the amount of developments/roma/mosa/kernels etc.... Now, having only Tmobile as the only one with unlocked bootloader, well, devs who use carrier such as AT&T and Sprint might get further away from developments on LG V20. (I'm a LG V20 Tmobile variant owner)
im not to familiar with LG, but the correct way is to power off the device, hold volume down, insert USB cable?
one would think even if locked, it could still enter the bootloader. adb works, and when i reboot recovery, i get to recovery, but when selecting reboot bootloader, the device starts. interestingly enough, it will enter in adb sideload mode
With Google obviously not wanting unlocked handsets or rooted handsets to be common... This kind of thing is going to be the norm. Best to adapt, in the long term. The days of modding are being ended by Google

I would agree if not for the fact that the pixel phones can be unlocked

For the time being. As SafetyNet gets more common, Google will quit making them unlockable.
Granted i preordered my v20 expecting to run it unrooted stock.

Well, it's really only sprint, at&t, and more than likely Verizon. Fastboot mode doesn't even exist on the phone through the production software. T-Mobile is completely unlockable...

So this means no recovery for sprint variants, but is there still a possibility of systemless root using the LG up or bridge programs?

According to twitter there is a root being worked on by chainfire unsure of whether or not it will be for all variants or just unlocked bootloaders

T-Mobile is rooted because of bootloader unlock v.v not the other variants.

So the root chainfire has established will be tmobile only?

He said it was based on jcadduono's work and if jcadduono has a thread on here about getting root shell to push recovery on the TMobile variant after unlocking the bootloader.
time to return it!
Just a thought. A method over use getting around big red in the past . I purchased unlock able version of the the phone I wanted the note 5 . Umocked it rooted it . Then got my carriers Sim card and called to get it activated. It can be a pain but it can be done

I thought since we had the "enable OEM unlock" option like T-Mobile we would be good to go.. smh
Thank you
root is not currently available for the US or Canadian Snapdragon varient of the S8 or S8+. It is being worked on right now.

I got mine from B&H. Let me know if you need a tester.
Terrible. I wanted to buy the unlocked model but if no root ever available then i don't want it.
Before I get this phone. Does anyone on AT&T know if they white-listed this device for VoLTE?
Also, can we re-lock the bootloader like Nexus Devices or once the bootloader is unlocked it can never be re-locked again?
Thanks

You can relock the bootloader if you want to unroot and return to stock.

Thanks I posted the question there..as I did not get a definitive answer. When I say relock, i want the behavior like the Nexus phones where it will do another wipe after the fastboot lock and fastboot mode shows correct lock status. Used to have one plus 1 and once unlocked you could never relock the bootloader..

AT&T only supports VoLTE on AT&T branded phones. So unfortunately, no.

par for the course w/ that company. I think they have taken the mantle from Verizon as being the biggest jerks. If it wasn't for their iPhone business, they'd be sunk. They have done a fabulous job of raising the prices of all things DirecTV too. ugh.
