Your on a locked bootloader, you cannot unlock the bootloader. Your only option is safestrap and the few limited roms that are available. Attempting to unlock the bootloader will brick your device

No. Your bootloader is locked down tight

Hello XDA,
If I unlocked the bootloader of a G920V, would it effectively become a G920F?
Would it then be able to be rooted, and be able to flash other software?
Thanks.

There is no way to be able to unlock the bootloader. If you did it would not change the model number. If you are still on Software version OE2 you can root and then flash my ROM or the other few in the forums. But you will not flash ROMS from other carriers.
So even if I unlock from the carrier, and am on BOG5 for the G920V, I am not able to root my phone or flash other ROMs/softwares?

Unlocking from carrier =/= Unlocking bootloader

Unlocking from your carrier is not the same as unlocking the bootloader.
If you have the Verizon version of the phone then you will not be unlocking the bootloader anytime soon. Unlocking the phone to use on another carrier may be possible but the bootloader will remain locked.
If rooting or customising is more your thing you may consider buying out the phone from Verizon and simply buying a new one with the new carrier.
Correct after I moved the phone off their network and it was soley owned by me, I spent hours on the phone with multiple Verizon employees. I explained I wanted my bootloader unlocked and they refused to do so. Most of the employees had no idea what I was talking about. The one that did know what I was talking about spent nearly an hour searching for someone who would do it for me only to be told due to policy they do not unlock bootloaders. Most of them exclaimed they cannot because they did not lock it Samsung did, which I knew was a lie because Verizon updates the bootloader. I even went as far as going into the FCC rules. They gave 0.
Thanks for trying !
You bought the phone with the bootloader locked. Verizon and Samsung have no legal obligation to unlock it for you. FCC won't do anything.

Root has been achieved on a lot of phones with locked bootloaders, but what does that have to do with this thread? The S6 had root, when it was on the OE2 build, with a locked bootloader.

This. Whether or not the bootloader has been unlocked does not mean you do or do not have root. Samsung phones are all testament to that.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5110 (Does it already have an "Unlocked Bootloader?")
Hi, greetings! I have been researching for days and I found out that you'll need to unlock bootloader on your Android Device to flash custom roms without bricking your device, and I've stumbled some "unguaranteed" answers found on replies and comments which says that it does not have locked bootloader. So is the device Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5110 already have unlocked bootloader? Please someone, give me a guaranteed answer... Please...

@darko454 My post on the other thread you had started here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g7-power/help/slota-flash-copypartitions-zip-t4107729
has detailed installation instructions. I too have a 1955-5 Metro by t-mobile Moto G7 Power. If you end up needing help or getting in a jam hmu 24/7. Just send me a message on xda and I'll more than likely respond fairly fast.
