Hello!
Forgive me if this is the wrong forum to be posting this question. If there is another place to post, please let me know!
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5. The bootloader is locked and I just don't have the time to mess with it. I would love to mail it to someone who could help unlock the bootloader and put on a ROM like Lineage OS. If anyone here would be able to help with this, let me know your price and how much time it would take to do this. The 6.X upgrade was performed so I've heard it might not be able to be downgraded to allow the bootloader to be unlocked. Really this is all out of my knowledge-base so I apologize if I'm not explaining everything correctly.
Either way I'd love help with this. If you are the US that'd be ideal as mailing internationally is no fun.
Thanks!

Ok since i have less than 10 posts I cant post in main device OS/Root posts etc.
Anyways I have a Samsung S4 Verizon I545. How to unlock it?
Gimme the link(s) to where I can download the ROM, software etc. And some steps on how to go about it. Also after carrier unlock/root can i do OTA updates?
I've unlocked two of iPhones before, so I understand the risks associated. Please try to help in simple english.
Thanks to XDA and thanks to any pupil willin to help.
Just want to find someone who has done this before, learn from him/her, and hopefully get my niche phone unlocked. Galaxy S4 Active SGH-i537
Hi,
This bounty for unlocking your bootloader is still unclaimed. So I'd say it's not possible.

Sorry!
I bought an LG G3 Verizon a year back and since then it has been running android kitkat and has obviously become very laggy over the year. I now want to install CM 13 on the phone but Im afraid that if I install it I will need the sim unlock code again.
Can someone please clarify this for me? I live outside of US.

Greetings and welcome to xda. Firstly please give us chance to get to your post before you bump it, you are allowed to bump a thread after 24 hours.
With regards to your question, as far as I'm aware once your phone has been sim unlocked it will stay sim unlocked no matter what rom you install on it. If you ask your question here though
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help
the experts there will be able to confirm this
Good Luck

I bought a galaxy s5 used and found out that it is sim locked through sprint. After trying to unlock it I also found out that sprint is one of a carrier that u can`t unlock! I was told that it can be rooted to work with other carriers and I think that xda has instructions on how to do this. I`m not a programmer or developer but I do investigate and try my best to learn. It would be appreciated if someone could help me.
Thanks Vesten

View this forum in a browser on PC or on your phone,,look for the XDA search bar that says "search all forums".
In that bar, type:
"Sprint Galaxy S5 root"
Then you will find what you are looking for, you'll also find more information and possibly custom development for you device.
I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE

Due to US models unlocking the bootloader is not possible. Rooting methods is some what limited.
You can check out S8+ rom section for possible rooting methods. Start with checking threads from jrkruse.
