I bought a Verizon Moto G and upon discovering that I cannot unlock the bootloader I would like to exchange it for one with an unlockable bootloader. Just to be sure, only AT&T and Verizon are the ones where you can't unlock the bootloader?
Or is it impossible to unlock the bootloader on Boost Mobile?

Boost Mobile is unlockable. I've done it. Flashed to Verizon and activated on Page Plus.
Verizon is NOT unlockable.
Can't comment on AT&T as I don't use them but a Boost or Verizon model will not work on AT&T or vice versa unlocked or not.

Alright, thank you. I'll be getting the Boost Mobile one, then.
So, I recently got this phone from a friend (not on stock btw) and I was just wondering if this phone is unlocked. I read a few post online saying the phone comes pre-unlocked with a jellybean update. It is Verizon, but I use T-Mobile. So does this phone actually come pre-unlocked?
Sim unlocked maybe but bootloader unlocked not a chance

I've heard it being able to be carrier unlocked but since this isn't a true GSM phone people aren't having a lot of luck on other carriers with the VZW variant of the S3

Hi, I would like to buy an unlocked (carrier/region) Note Edge. Can some one suggest the variant I should buy that will work with AT&T 4g/LTE bands in USA.
SM-N915F
SM-N915G
SM-N915T
Etc?
I don't think that is possible, as each countries have different band. That's why most international/factory unlocked phones don't have 4g/Lte capability. 3g and some lte is the most you are going to get with an international SM-N915F
Best bet would be to buy out an Att phone, and request them to unlock it so you have the 4g/Lte in the states.
I believe its a 30day period or so when the account is open before they give you the code. I know t-mobile policy is 3-4 weeks.

go with the 915T (tmobile)
tmobile edge is the only one that has an unlocked bootloader (you can flash any rom, etc that is made for the EDGE)
the ATT, Verison, Sprint, etc are bootloader locked, and you cant unlock them as far as i know
Tmobile one, once its unlocked, thats it,, a world of possibilities in your hands.
Thanks. But why not SM-N915F the european or SM-N915G Asian version? are you saying those are also boot loader locked?

I am an att customer currently in Kuwait and I purchased the 915F because the LTE does crossover to them. I looked at the LTE bands and 2 out of 3 of them are the same. You just need to ensure you put the correct apn in.
I hope this helps.
The Note edge 915G will work with ATT LTE/4G
I have that model on Tmobile 4G LTE and it works fine. Since the update they took out the Lte icon and replaced it with 4G. But when you check the status menu it says LTE connection Type.
Is there a root for the Verizon note edge? If there isnt ...could I use a different model number with Verizon,and if so which one could I use. I would like to be able to root and bootloader unlock. Thanks

The only root for Verizon Note Edge is with the developer edition. And no you can not use any other Note Edge variant on Verizon.

Question - I have an unlocked SM-N915T that I'm going to use with AT&T. To get Lollipop should I use Samung Kies or will it OTA ?

To get the AT&T lollipop update on a tmobile phone you will need to use Kies or Odin 3 to flash it as it won't recognize the tmobile Sim when attempting to look up AT&T servers for the update.

Do any one know how to carrier unlock Sprint s8+? If so please help thanks
I can get it unlocked for you. Sprint S8 is very easy to unlock, as a matter of fact any Samsung device from sprint is unlockable. Unfortunately for me I have a T-mobile S8+ that I cannot unlock

Have you tried possibly flashing your T-Mobile S8+ to a Sprint firmware and trying to unlock it using the Sprint method?
So I have unlocked my phone and I have it on Verizon everything works but volte! I know the sprint s4 note 3 and s5 and flash Verizon roms can I Odin Verizon firmware and keep sprint modem and bootloader?
Hi can you please tell me how you were able to add the sprint note 5 to verizon? I got sprint to unlock it but verizon wont recognize it. Thanks in advance
