While trying to downgrade from 5.1 to 4.4.2 using Odin for my Samsung galaxy S4 , the process failed and now whenever i boot my phone it says "Software Update Failed" your device didn't update successfully. use the Verizon software repair assistant on a computer to repair your device and complete the update. Then i looked around and found a way to get Verizon software update and pluged in my phone but the software can't seems to recognize my phone even though the picture showed that the phone is connected to my PC. I tried flashing the stock file for my phone (Sch-i545) but they all failed. Please help me fix this problem, i really need my phone.
Thanks.

I DO NOT provide support via PM unless asked/requested by myself. PLEASE keep it in the threads where everyone can share.
As the Topic title states I would like to know how to tell if a bootloader is locked. This is all mostly new to me. I wish to try to root a device, which I have done before, but as I understand the situation it needs to be unlocked, and I have no idea what that means.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920V that I bought from eBay. The listing said it was a Verizon Unlocked GSM device, which I understand it to be able to be used on other networks/carriers.
The device is currently on 7.0 Nougat which is how I received it. I can try to provide any information necessary if someone would be willing to help me out.
Thanks in advance!

Okay, I took your suggestion and made a post there as well. Should I leave this one up? Or am I even able to close it down on my own without a moderator or admin?
SM-G920V is a Verizon Galaxy S6. The bootloader on this device (and on the G920A ATT) has been locked down since its release

This I read. What I was hoping for is how to tell it is locked.

Will my device brick if I attempt that? And can I fix it if it does?
Even if it does, you can always flash back to VZW stock firmware. But i wouldn't bother trying it if I were you
I want to install TWRP for Nexus 5x. I'm following the tutorial I found here. I got stuck on the part where you flash TWRP the error on the console says 'FAILED. Device is locked.' can someone tell me how to change device state into unlocked.
P.S. I'm very new to this stuff I barely know anything.

I have had a Galaxy J7 through Metro for over two years. I unlocked it using the Metro unlock app installed on the phone. I did not receive an unlock code. It said the phone is permanently unlocked and the app disappeared. I'm assuming it's just hidden and didn't uninstall itself. I am using another carrier now and want to hard reset. Does anyone know if I do that the phone will not become locked again? I have been searching for two days and no answers but guesses. I'm looking for a definitive answer, not a guess.
Thank You
