What is a bootloader and how do I upgrade one?

Hi guys
I bought the Note 3, I'm trying to put TWRP recovery on. But there is a note saying
Use the 4.3 version of TWRP if you have never upgraded kitkat bootloader. Otherwise make sure you use the 4.4 version. These versions of TWRP have different DTBs and will fail to boot if you do not match your bootloader.​
So, how do I know if I have which bootloader?

[QUOTE So, how do I know if I have which bootloader?[/QUOTE]
Get an app from tge Play store. It's called Info. Here is the link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.info
You will find there what you need. Good luck!

Wrong post

Can you check if I have the correct bootloader installed?
I can not make any phone calls at the moment, I get "com.android.phone as stopped" error. Is something wrong with the bootloader, or kernel or the rom or something else?
Please help me. I can not call or receive any calls, I miss talking to my mom.

You have to replay entire procedure: unlock bootloader - flash TWRP - root.
BTW after dualsim enabled you make upgrade to C432B130 firmware?

Hi,
i got 1 year ago Huawei P10 lite from my company, now i must return phone. The problem is that i root my device so when you boot up phone you can see this message:

Problems with Samsung Galaxy A7(2016) SM-A7100

Hi friends,
I have a Galaxy A7(2016) SM-A7100 bought on Amazon and comes from Hong Kong.
I want to install a ROM with Android 10 or 11 and when I'm running Odin, I get this message on the phone:
Instalation Failure. You need to unlock your device to install a custom OS.
Do you know what I can do to unlock the phone and let me install the ROM?
Thank you very much for your answer

Hi, I think I have been able to fix the phone locking problem (I am not sure).
Now I have another problem, when Odin is doing the TRW download on the phone, it appears in red letters on the phone: Binary size is too large: recovery
After that the download stops and Odin shows FAIL in red letters.
What can I do?
