[Q] How to make sure that bootloader is locked?

Hi,
How can I test that bootloader(Download mode) is locked on my Samsung Note 3(N9005) after I installed CyanogenMod?
Fastboot command tool doesn't see my device(I can see device with adb outside the Download Mode).
Is it possible to lock Download mode on Samsung device?
Thanks.

Only verizon version(sm-n900v?) is bootloader locked. N9005 is international so it isn't locked.

Why you need to lock it?. Never see anybody asking how to lock bl. Samsung didn't make it lockable anyway.

It's recommended for security purposes. Google shows a lot of reasons to do that(can't post links due to new account, but search for "android bootloader lock security" will give plenty of examples)
So for Samsung it's impossible to lock or to replace it with something that could be locked?

Locking and all other things fastboot is made for is NOT MADE/WORKING for Samsung Devices except the Galaxy Nexus. You have a open bootloader and you can only flash by bootloader if you use ODIN.

An att note 3 900a running kk also has a locked bootloader.

Sure, but he has a N9005 ^^

I know, I was just commenting on the fact that the note 3 from att also has a locked bootloader. The remaining note 3 variants do not have a locked bootloader and they cannot be locked unless the locking is done by Samsung.

Only Official Released Binaries Are Allowed To Be Fashed Samsung SM-G950F

Hello!
I mess up by flashing my Samsung S8 SM-G950F, now it stuck in booting and red text "Only Official Released Binaries Are Allowed To Be Fashed "?
How fix that?
Thanks for answers!

That means only official stock firmware can be flashed. So you should download stock rom and flash.

I have same problem. Unlocking bootloader will disable Knox but instead you will get warning messages after every phone restart.
