Following your thread. I'd like to know the same. There are two roots on the verizon forum. One says it's for developer edition only. And then the other doesn't say and no one is responding to my question in it.

Hey guys sorry for you not getting an answer, there are options for root and recoveries, but you do need to convert the device to developer version first. The process isn't too hard and can be found here for marshmallow devices and here for lollipop devices. Hit the thanks button on those threads if those developers helped and if you need help with carrying out the unlock of the bootloader so you can root, then you can hit me up

I'd like to start a thread regarding the NET10 Samsung S4 4G LTE SGH-S970G.
Has anyone seen a way to unlock this device? Neither of the standard 2 methods of unlocking a Galaxy S 4 seem to work. I am unable to reach SERVICE MODE MAIN MENU beyond step 4 using the method described here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683
From what I have gathered thus far this might be able to be resolved by downgrading the radio/baseband however I would need an older stock firmware for this device and I do not believe one exists - and I am afraid of bricking the device using any other stock firmware.
Does anyone know of a method I might be able to carrier unlock this puppy?
Thanks in advance!
I have the same phone, SGH-S970G, and am unable to find a root option for it either. Has anyone found one?
EDIT: (01/14/14) SafeRoot also worked for me. Thank you to all for your help, I really appreciate it!

You could try apps that root the phone for you such as Framaroot and Poot, Framaroot has it's own forum on XDA. If you try let me know which works

I heard something about a region unlocked helping to unlock the metro
C version of this phone I think that is close to this model so I guess we could start there
Guys please try rooting and then using the app "region lock away" it unlocks sims on other gs4, tested myself yesterday, please someone try with this model and reply soon. MAY NOT work on 4.3 but totally safe, will look for older modems. and report back

Rooting seem to went fine unlocking seem to not go so fine someone offered me like $350 for it so I'll sell it rooted. Still couldn't get the menu it shows different carriers but network fails to connect for some reason
I noticed that some members have had these straight talk phones for more than a year now, so shouldn't some people be able to unlock their Straight Talk/Tracfone Galaxy S4 phones by now?

We need to make all the retail versions, developer versions by unlocking the bootloader!
Keep wishing on unlocked bootloader.

They never did it for the s4 so I'm not guessing it's not going to happen here either... I was lucky enough to have an mdk version.

Use the search feature my friend. This should be posted in the Q&A section. Plus in there is everything you'll need to learn to flash a rom. I would do some reading before going about flashing otherwise you may have a $650 paperweight.

No you can't.
You have to flash only ROMs which are made for the specific device, otherwise you'll end up with a useless device.

Put shortly, very few people are going to know the effects of updates outside of the US for a US based device.
Can you take the OTA? If you've rooted or are using custom anything, I would not recommend it if you're not experienced with redoing it all (if necessary)
Yes by OTA and I'm rooted (towelroot)& I use officiel one

The method is the EXACT same as it was on KitKat for both Sprint AND T-Mobile (as well as the Verizon Dev Edition). About a million guides were posted before. A quick search will bring them up.

is there anyway to root a sprint note 4 edge 5.1.1? ive tried a couple ways and they all boot looped. please help
Hi all,
I started working on the LG G5 a way back .. and now that we've got the device in stores I guess it's time to work all together to bring it up !
STATUS
- [02/04/2016] All the US Carriers/Sellers locked the bootloaders so NO TWRP possible and consequently NO CM possible
CURRENT GOALS
- Thought, all the Europe variants will be for sure unlocked so we need to prepare the sources for it
- Here is where all the sources are pushed https://github.com/G5Devs
ETA :
- The tree is made
- The vendor is made
- The kernel is made
TODO :
- Clarifying kernel sources
- Add the ramdisk to the device
- Split the g5 to g5-common and all the under variants
This thread is not a thread to release builds, it's about contributing all together into this bringup in order to get the nicest thing out of it when the bootloaders will become unlockable.
I hope we'll can work all together !

It does unlock, but the DM-VERIFY is still presenting a no-go.
Evidently LG is using a custom type of bootloader.

only for that specific device(s) on HTC
HTC has a portal that allows you to unlock bootloader for that specific device (hence the need to copy+paste token to HTC's portal and get the unlock key)
no doubt HTC will void warranty immediately in their system when you input token
LG doesn't have this (yet? i hope)
Yeah, was just a thought. Haven't owned a LG in some time, been on the Samsung wagon. The G5 is on my watch list of devices I might get, I like the design. I'll try to see if I can find something that might be more constructive to the cause. The HTC link was the first thing I could think of that I've dealt with.
I see that LG has release a tool for the G4 and that's device specific and seems to work on the European devices.
Totally willing to contribute monetarily if this will help any developers out. I don't have much else but really want to help get this phone broken open and fixed up good!

Maybe when everything will be finished to improve module compatibility.
PS : NEWS : I'm mostly done making the variant specific trees and kernel. But I want the kernel to be clean.. So it's slow..

How do you test to see if your handset has the DM verify second bootloader lock?
I am hoping to get my UK unbranded unlocked retail H850 unit on Friday, so am happy to test any restrictons, but don't know how to check for this?
If I buy a g5 from best buy would it still have the locked bootloader?
