Will the AT&T bootloader ever be unlocked? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4

A few weeks ago, the Verizon note 4 had its bootloader unlocked. Is this ever going to happen with AT&T, is anybody working on it or something?

I'm psychic and I can see what happens to our bootloader in the future. Unfortunately, if I reveal it to you, it will cause a rip in the space-time continuum and we will all die.

AT&T sickens me! Not only have they butchered this phone and delayed updates but their latest stunt is unforgivable. I got a text saying as a note 4 owner I would be eligible for a free gift. Apparently if you put the code into the mobility website you can get a free t-shirt that says "If I was with Verizon I'd have Root by now!". How low can they sink?

Unlock Client Rocks!

Hello. I have a samung galaxy s3 i747 which was locked to Telus. I had an issue unlocking it with other sites. However, I found Unlock Client and it worked like a charm. Use them, their software works.
:laugh:
I can vouch for them as well, unlocked my Bell i747 through them worked awesome.
or you can take 5 minutes of your time, and call AT&T, and ask for your unlock code.
for free.

If I lived in the US and was an AT&T customer then perhaps I could phone and ask for the code, but I'm not and I can't.
Why is it all these posts are started by people with like 1-10 posts? Employee of the company in question much?
If I could just have one recommendation for an unlocking service from a reputable member here I'd be thrilled.
I can see how you would assume the OP probably works for the company first post ever and join date of Aug 2012, but I can personally say I have used their service and it works. I usually lurk and read on XDA but you can take my word how ever you want
I checked your posts, it was nice to see they weren't just 11 posts all promoting Unlock Client at various device forums here
I may try them out when my red S3 finally arrives.
I called ATT to unlock my S3 and they obliged. The problem is the unlock sequence doesn't work for me giving me an MMI error.

You need another carrier's SIM card to prompt the unlock menu. The dial sequence is only for non-NA variants.

I recently went overseas and used this guys xxx.cellunlocker.net, fast and worked on the first try. Use a diff carrier sim to unlock it with the code they send you.

if you've had your sgs3 for 15 days or more, they will unlock it.
also, you need to have your last months bill paid in full.

it depends on the CSR you get. after trying with 5 different live-chats, i finally got one who provided the code for my sister's 2-day-old SGS3 immediately without any questions.
I told them I'm traveling to Canada. That might have worked.
Got my Garnet Red AT&T S3 today (in New Zealand). Ended up going with mod edit:link removed.
I hate to have to say it, because I'm going to sound like one of the many shmucks who come here talking about unlock solutions in order to get $5 off the price, but the unlock code worked fine and only took about 10minutes to come through. Just to be clear, I'm not claiming the $5 off the price for making a post here, I just thought people wanting feedback from a user in good standing here at XDA would appreciate knowing this service is legit.
(lord knows I'd have loved to have seen one post from a user who was clearly trustworthy before I went through the process, no offence to the many helpful people who have confirmed various services before I did, it's just that tiny post-counts invite skepticism of planted posts)
I'll take the €5 then

Typically At&t won't give you a code until approx 6 months after the release of the device. In some instances it is sooner but not normally.

I have never had them give me an unlock code before 6 months. The last phone I tried this for I had it for 2 months which was my galaxy note and they wouldn't do it then either.

I just called AT&T to test this (I have no need to unlock personally), and after telling them I was going on an international vacation for a month, they gave me my unlock code within about 5 minutes. the difficult part was that I had to manually cut down a T-Mobile sim I had laying around, but a few snips of the scissors later my phone was unlocked for free.

FREE LG Optimus G (?) Unlock Code

http://freemyblackberry.com/other-phone-brands.php
People have gotten their codes, but dunno if it works or not yet. I just submitted my IMEI. Let's hope it works!
They are legit. I got a free unlock code from them during a similar promotion a few years back.

Anyway received the code and successfully unlocked my E971.

Does anybody know if unlocking the phone would somehow interfere with the root/bootloader unlock methods that are found here? I haven't done that yet, but plan to in the near future.
Thanks.

Sim unlock does not interfere with anything and does not void waranty.

Second question; are there any benefits for me to do this on a Sprint phone?

You can use the phone on another carrier that uses the same bands as Sprint. Although I am not going to change carriers, I did it anyways since it might come in handy due to some unforeseeable event
mine has been locked

I got my code after 3 days and it went into spam so I never found it until today. Unlocked using method 2 so I'm not sure if it worked or not as I don't have another sim to try Lol.

Got mine... It was also filtered as spam by Gmail...
Got mine. After I entered it, it said network unlocked, reboot, and now I have got the LG security error. I just spent two weeks customising to my liking Oh well, since I started messing with my Galaxy S, I have gotten used to redoing things. Only problem is that I dont seem to have my Titanium backups on my PC anymore, must have moved instead of copied. That is the real suck. I didnt think this could happen from an unlock code, so I wasnt prepared when I entered it at work.
Sim unlocked my LG Optimus G! Lol procrastination but whatever!

At&t petition for bootloader

Very simple just as it reads in the title. Sign up.
https://www.change.org/p/at-t-wireless-unlock-the-bootloader-on-the-samsung-galaxy-note-4-910a
Please share this and find friends that will join in on the fight for the bootloader being unlocked.

Signed. I don't know if an unlock code could be per device but if so then we could sign a warranty void clause to get our unlock code. I've seen this happen for another device.
Is it possible to add the note edge 915 a to the petition as well please?
Signed & shared.. Cmon ppl only 7 so far?
I don't want to be negative, but I've used android since 1.5 and had AT&T since then. In that time I've had a few phones with locked bootloaders and I've seen quite a few petitions to unlock it and I've never seen anyone successfully get them unlocked from AT&T, it's always been boot strapped or some other method for bypassing it. Not saying don't try, but don't seriously get your hopes up. Also even if you got everyone on XDA with an AT&T Note 4 to sign it's probably less than 1% of their sales of the Note 4.
Signed, sealed, and delivered bud!

Sim unlocking the Galaxy note 5

Just wondering if anyone knows of what website to use to unlock the Galaxy note 5.

cellunlocker.net got it for 25bucks
Was the phone paid off? I tried to unlock through a website but it would not let me cause I didn't pay off the device yet

The phone has to be paid off to be able to unlock it.

Locked Verizon Bootloader?

So i plan on ordering a Pixel XL paying the retail price from Bestbuy since they have them in stock http://www.bestbuy.com/site/google-pixel-xl-4g-lte-with-32gb-memory-cell-phone-slate-verizon/5656050.p?skuId=5656050 but i noticed it says Verizon. So my question is will the bootloader be unlocked or not?
Pretty sure it'll be locked then, it's best to just get it from the google store.

Please remember to try and search for answers before posting.
This subject is covered several times on the board.
Yes, the bootloader will be locked if purchased from Best Buy or Verizon.
its been confirmed from multiple places that Verizons model will have a locked bootloader. so if you care about custom roms or resale value get the model from the google store. There is always a possibility that someone will figure out an unlock for the Verizon model but i wouldnt count on it
It seems it's all speculation. Haven't seen/heard anything fact that it is indeed locked. But knowing how Verizon operates it will be.

Yeah it all point to it being locked but wont really know until its released and Verizon orders ship
The Verizon N6 wasn't locked down. I have hopes but if its locked it doesn't matter to me.

If it's unable to be unlocked it would be the first time Verizon released a Nexus that way.

As stated multiple times the Verizon nexus 6 was still able to be unlocked, it was identical to the Google store one, just with a Verizon emblem on it.
If it's like the nexus 6 with unlockable bootloader I'll be getting the 128 xl from Verizon and be returning the 32 xl to the Google store. I kinda regret not getting the larger storage. Hopefully we will see the unlockable status for a fact on Thursday.

The reviews are out. Did not one single reviewer with a Verizon unit not check to see if it can be unlocked?
