I have LG G5 H860 which has a locked bootloader and can't be rooted, now i want the KEYone and I'm hoping it has an unlocked bootloader so i can rooted.
Is the bootloader locked or unlocked for the KEYone?
Don't plan on seeing it even unlocked or rootable. The PRIV was never unlocked or rooted. Being able to do this would sink Blackberry as a security company.
It is very much locked. We're talking BlackBerry here, the "world's most secure phone."
its a blackberry.. you buy a blackberry, because blackberrys are usualy impossible to root
if you want root, buy a pixel, or a samsung, or a huawei, or something else, but not a blackberry

I cannot say for definite. As far as I currently know sim free phones and contract phones from Three come boatloader unlocked.
However my HTC HD2 on contract with Virgin a few years back came sim/bloatware free so I'd wager it could be a possibility.
3 UK devices are unlockable, not unlocked
The phone is not sim free now but i can unlocked him for sim free..
i just need to know if i can root him ..the botloader is unlocked?
The phone from virgin and not from three
Sure, my 3 uk is sim and bootloader unlocked and thus rootable.
What I meant to say is although I cannot say for definite, what I remember from having a contact phone with Virgin myself is that they used to send was a sim free phone pretty much like those from the cpwh and phones4u.
I'd phone Virgin personally. I am with Virgin myself but baulked at the price they were charging.
How can i know if the bootloader is locked?
If you bought the Sony Z1s on T-Mobile you were probably disappointed to learn that it has a locked bootloader and is therefore currently unrootable. Unfortunately, T-Mobile requested Sony to lock the bootloader. The non T-Mobile exclusive version, the Sony Z1, has an official method of unlocking the bootloader courtesy of Sony.
T-Mobile has stated that locked bootloader is necessary because rooting the phone voids the warranty and users may install software that can harm the device.
Every user that roots accepts the their warranty may be voided and that the device may be harmed.
The vast majority of T-Mobile devices do not have a locked bootloader and can be rooted.
This is a surprising and very disappointing move by the so called "uncarrier".
Please sign this petition which will be sent to the Executive Response team at T-Mobile.

I knew it this day will come, I just hope this petition will work, because most of them are useless sadly
I'll support petition, don't have Z1s but Z1.... but who cares...
It's a longshot but there's not much to lose...

Signed it. Also had my family sign it. There's 3 signatures.
Signed even though I don't have the T-Mobile version. Hope this works.
My understanding is that It's not just T-Mo, or the Z1/Z1s. Every carrier locked version of any Xperia device is the same, "bootloader unlock allowed" is always No.
I'm locked to EE in the UK and my bootloader can't be unlocked (generally EE don't care about that sort of thing), my mum who as an O2 branded version is the same.

WRONG
I am on Vodafone (UK) contract and every single phone I have had from them comes with the ability to unlock the bootloader
3x Xperia T and 1x Xperia Z1
Plus X10 and neo and arc... but that was before the days of official support for unlocking

Are you SIM free or carrier locked?
It doesn't matter
It has been mentioned (Incorrectly) many times about the link between sim free / contract phones
The correct version is this
In general SIM free non contract phones come with an unlockable bootloadler, but not all of them. Some have bootlaoders which cannot be unlocked.
In general carrier SIM locked phones have bootloaders which cannot be unlocked, but some do not. (Mine as an example)
Support.

Anyone figure out if there's a way to unlock the bootloader after all?
I'll sign the petition. I wouldn't have bought the phone had I known the bootloader was locked. I bought it the day it was released in the U.S. It looks like the Z1s isn't getting 5.1.1, so I'd love to be able to manually install it.

I'm currently on Verizon, with a grandfathered plan, and my Galaxy S4 has been...well...shall we say....a complete and total disaster, all due to the stupid locked bootloader. I was about to jump carriers, but from what I could find on the web, it appears that the Moto X's bootloader is unlockable, even on Verizon. The best I could come up with is a "maybe", and I"m looking for a bit more solid answer:
Can the bootloader the Moto X Pure be unlocked on Verizon?
This is an unbranded phone. It doesn't matter what network you use it on so long the network/phone both support each others bands. Verizon has no say in the matter or locked or unlock bootloaders or sim slot for phones they don't sell directly.
The phone will work just fine on verizon, tmobile, att, sprint, likely even uscc, even with the bootloader unlocked.
I read the post where someone asked about an unlocked Moto Z Force, and I met with the Moto rep at Verizon today who again said that it would be a Verizon exclusive, but I think we might have something with the thought that eventually, there will be a "Force Pure" (for lack of a real term of what it would be called) being sold directly through Moto, like the 2015 Pure was. I have AT&T and want to stay with them AND get a "Force Pure" model that will allow me to easily unlock the bootloader and use one of the many root options already available. I know the regular Z model will get an unlocked version for GSM carriers in September, but Verizon can't truly hold the Force model all to themselves forever..... right?
We also have people like this claiming to sell "unlocked GSM Moto Z Force" phones on eBay, when they probably just mean carrier unlocked, which isn't nearly as hard as bootloader unlocked.
And speaking of not knowing what we're talking about when we mean "unlocked," can we all learn the difference between the developer option to allow the bootloader to be unlocked and the NEXT step required to actually unlock it? With the Moto X Pure, you must start by selecting that option, go on Moto's website, give them your phone's info, and THEN the phone can be bootloader unlocked - the Verizon locked phones will never get that unless devs find the hack around it. If you are confused on any of what I said, then learn how it's done on the Moto X Pure here, which is a whole lot longer than just flipping the switch on the developer option.... Lots of people here seem to think that's how it works, so I'm addressing it here before someone incorrectly says that it is already available - which it isn't and won't be on Verizon....
Unlocked bootloader .....never gonna happen but sim unlocked for GSM? It already has

Please read my actual question again before even bringing up SIM unlocking.... what makes you so sure that the upcoming GSM-only model sold directly by Moto won't ever be able to be bootloader unlocked? Or are you just speculating based on the current Verizon offerings?
The Verizon moto z and z force is carrier unlock, free to use on any gsm. I'm using a z force on cricket. And there is no way to unlock bootloader for these phone.
Only the moto z gsm version coming in September can have bootloader unlock.

You are out of luck. Bootloader has to be unlocked on this Motorola phone to get permanent root. You should have gotten a Moto X Force, the Kinzie with the free bootloader unlock from Motorola. Instead you bought the crappy Verizon version with the locked down bootloader.
I assume you are not a Verizon customer and therefore do not actually need a Verizon phone?

Ah, but what if it's a Verizon phone that has been subsequently carrier unlocked? (Allowed to work with other carriers) Will the bootloader be able to be unlocked then? I wonder if anyone has tried this.

You question has a false premise. That Verizon phones are carrier locked...
All Verizon postpaid phones since 2012 - especially the 2015 Droid Turbo 2 and the 2014 Droid Turbo -- are already carrier unlocked. By order of the FCC, for Verizon to acquire more LTE bandwidth they had to agree to that.
No, using a Verizon phone on another carrier doesn't let you unlock the bootloader.
This year Verizon said they were going to start temporarily carrier locking their phones for 90 days, to prevent theft. But that's being appealed since it violates the 2012 FCC agreement. I haven't kept up with the outcome of this 2018 development because I'll never buy a Verizon branded phone for myself. But the DROID TURBO 2 was carrier unlocked from day 1.

I was not asking about *ALL* Verizon phones just the Droid Turbo 2. So no false premise.
I'm not your typical XDA user. However, I was under the impression that if I could carrier unlock the phone that that could allow me to also unlock the bootloader (on some phones). You are saying this is not the case with the Droid Turbo 2?

That is not the case, ever, for Verizon Motorola phones.
The false premise was assuming Verizon postpaid phones are carrier locked. They are not, have not been for 6 years.
Verizon postpaid phones (since 2012) are already carrier unlocked.
Verizon demands the bootloader be locked down on all their phones, even Google Pixel phones. You can't unlock any Verizon bootloaders except through some exploit. For the 2014 Droid Turbo (Quark), Sunshine team found an exploit. For the 2015 Droid Turbo 2 (Kinzie) no exploit was ever found.
