Im noticing that the latest at&t rom is newer than the latest retail rom. If I insall the at&t Rom, is it still unlocked?
Yes, I had an unlocked and installing att did not lock it back. I asked the same question here somewhere a while back.
Ive had the S5 since October and i just got around to rooting the Verizon version and putting safestrap on it i know there is rom for the verizon Galaxy S5 but my question is will there ever be a bootloader unlock method for the verizon and at&t versions of the S5 any thoughts because i dont feel safe flashing a rom on a locked bootloader i had a droid razr m before this phone i had the bootloader unlocked and was running cm11 i just wish i could flash a well know rom on my Galaxy S5
Most likely not. Verizon do sell a dev version of the phone with an unlocked bootloader and it's got CM thanks to albinoman and ktoonsez

if ur not comfortable flashing roms on a locked BL (is safer) than buy a dev ed s5 or another device thats unlocked or just stay stock lol
I know that a phone with a locked bootloader can only flash Touch-Wiz based ROMs, but can I use ROMs that are made for a different model, like the i9505? (I seriously regret updating to Lollipop. My mom has an unlocked phone, but, it's hers... Guess I will have to buy a Nexus 6).
Hey! So I have my S10+ over here (SM-975U) with the bootoader unlocked. However, the phone was purchased through verizon and is currently running verizon as its carrier. And I was wondering if it’s possible for TWRP recovery to be flashed and if possible can it be rooted? Thanks
Not possible, and likely never will be. Locked bootloader. No root, no twrp, period. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
How did you get the boot loader unlocked
It's been so long since I last rooted my phones, maybe 6 or 7 years now... I don't even know where to start. Is TWRP still the go-to method for rooting these Android devices?
I couldn't find anything specifically for the T-Mobile variants, dunno if that's been done yet.
Thanks,
Nick
Your bootloader is locked and cannot be unlocked. No root or TWRP available.

No problem!
Is this device always going to have a locked bootloader? Flashing an unlocked firmware wouldn't change anything? Im new to samsung and have been out of the rom game a long time.

These devices will always be locked down. The last U.S. Samsung phone to get root was the S9, the S10 line are locked up tight. Flashing unlocked firmware just makes your phone carrier free so you can use it with any carrier, it doesn't unlock the bootloader.
What phones are best for modding these days then? Just came from a Pixel 4 XL and it had a locked bootloader plus tons of hardware issues that ended in me getting this phone
I would say a One Plus phone is probably the most versatile as far as modding goes these days. You could also get an exynos S10 variant which can be rooted and custom recovery installed.
