Yes, unlocking and locking the bootloader if needed is a piece of cake and takes less then a minute. Read the first 5 threads in the General section well and you`ll be fine
If you couldn't unlock the bootloader...... You wouldn't have a nexus in your hand.
Sent from my N5, N7, Moto X, G Tab 3 or S2.....
hmmm
Pretty sure there is a bigggggggggggggg assss post dedicated for unlocking bootloader. One for experienced user and one for dummies. If you still can't follow that, you should not unlock the boot loader. Instead buy a N5 and pick a hard object of your liking. I personally recommend a baseball bat. Then toss your N5 in the air and go weeeeeeeeee "Bammmmm" After that you have successfully 100% unlocked N5

Sorry bud but it's locked down tight. There isn't much of a chance unless someone releases keys or a unlocked bootloader. That dev option is pretty much useless.

Oh.. we have the same problem on s6 active at&t variant, we can't obtain root on it , I'm going to give chainfire s7 root method a try on it.
I bought a Samsung S5 Active from a friend of a friend. It is in great shape works well on "wifi".... ended up finding out that the phone was never unlocked by trying to get it up and goin on my current network. It is an AT&T phone and they refused to give me the unlock code because the phone was never paid off apparently. What are my options at this point to unlock the phone without having to root?

No way, you can't unlock it without root as well, just like a regular AT&T S5. I've unlocked quite a few S5 Active using www.unlockunit.com. The code is around $30, as far as I remember, if you're ok with a paid method.

very wrong. it used to be like that, but not anymore
idoneapps.com has unlock methods without root. $35 and is works flawlessly. go to their site and check it out. Ive used it on 2 regular S5s, 0 issues

That's the method I might take if all else fails. I'm a newby at all this stuff but understand it can get complicated when it comes to rooting. Found out by bricking a cheap LG I practiced on. I'm very cautious about doing the same to this Samsung S5....or should I said SCARED! It actually would be exciting to root this phone and do it that way but...yeah, I dont trust myself enough yet!

Hello Guys @ XDA.
I need HELP unlocking the bootloader of my Moto G 4G XT1045 Cricket mobile phone.
Please Help
Thanks in Advance.
Go to the Motorola Bootloader Unlocking site and follow the instructions on the site.
Google that, and you should be able to unlock your phone at a bootloader level.
That won't work. You'll just get a message about this device not being eligible for unlocking or something like that.

DC-Unlocker might be both your/OP's best bet if that works, but if it does not, then sadly, you might be stuck with a phone that you cannot do much, and believe me, it sucks as my brother-in-law had a Sony Xperia neo that was locked to T-Mobile, and therefore bootloader-locked, as a SIM-locked phone usually has its bootloader locked as well.
Update: after checking out the site, Motorola phones aren't supported.
Update #2: Check this out, but this will leave you $25 lighter on your wallet:

Unless something has changed recently, Sunshine doesn't work either because it's 4.4.4. Even if it did- yeah, it probably doesn't make much sense to spend more money than the phone is worth to unlock it. ?

I bought my first OnePlus phone just switched from Pixel. Problem I faced I decided to by the phone from big red instead of Oneplus. So how can I start a fire to get some great XDA developers to figure a way to Root my Verizon OnePlus.
Why did you buy a phone from Verizon? Was the deal that great that it was worth giving up an unlockable bootloader? You can forget anyone finding an exploit, Verizon locks down their phones tight. Should have know Big Red would screw you over....
