We don't even have root access, let alone an unlocked bootloader to flash anything. Someone might be working on it in the eventuality of an unlocked bootloader? But probably not.

Those must be the Exnos variants, all SD versions are currently bootloader locked. With a locked bootloader we have no access to flashing custom recoveries and with that no ROMs, root or mods

Recently picked up my Bell one and noticed it says no.
Anyway around this ? how can i unlock the bootloader?
This is making me reconsider the device and go get the HTC One
may i ask what you need to do with an unlocked bootloader?
Root recovery and rom flashing can still be achieved with a locked bootloader.

well once cwm or twrp is fixed you can flash roms and not loose root or recovery.
as for why have an unlocked bootloader, well custom kernels.
I thought Sony was offering unlock bootloaders to everyone.
btw, have you tried the unofficial unlock tool?

Is this true?
I thought you could only load Sony-based Roms. Like Lite edition ROMs et all.
But what if I wanted to load CM10 onto my Bell ZL?
I definitely need to unlock the boot loader no?

99% of the ROMs for the ZL or for that matter almost any phone are for ones with an unlocked boot loader. Can ROMs be made for locked boot loaders as well? Sure they can. But devs have enough bugs and performance enhancements to deal with as it is to worry about locked BLs.

yes you need an unlocked bootloader to use official cm10, but in time you will see versions ported for locked bootloaders.

Everyone was talking about wanting, or needing root or their bootloader unlocked, now that we have root, you can hear a mouse fart in our forum. Let's get some ROMS or kernels, and xposed mods going! Where's the excitement people!?!? Lol

That's not true. It means no kernels... There's things like safestrap that allow you to flash a ROM to a different partition, and select either stock, or (ROM name here) from initial boot-up.
The ROM is just the body of the car, (what we see), but to access the motor, (everything that makes what we see actually happen), that requires bootloader unlock ?.

We have no safestrap (developer bailed), loki, or bump. So no custom roms yet. Some devices cannot flash anything without unlocked bootloader. We have only had root a couple of days things will come. I should have been more clear in my previous post, I forgot this is XDA where everyone knows everything already.

Without custom recovery we may not get Xposed, hence no gravity box, but we can hope they get a non-recovery version working on the G4.
If you are rooted and run Xposed you NEED to freeze the OTA update checker, otherwise prepare for a bricked device after an update.
now what if I unroot?

Why would we need a custom recovery for Xposed? I only rooted my G3, nothing else, and I'm using G3 TweaksBox just fine.
All I need on the G4 is a new, updated TweaksBox and I'm good to go. Between that and titanium backup I have my G3 running perfect.
TWRP Recovery has been released for carrier branded devices as of a few hours ago

Currently Xposed for 5.1 requires you to flash it from a custom recovery. 5.0 was simply a file you installed.

We need a bootloader unlock or a workaround like bump on the G3, I haven't heard of any progress with this yet but I'd love to be proven wrong.
I think the main theme here is be patient. We could not have ANYONE working on anything for this phone. Root is awesome. Hopefully bootloader unlock is released soon.
I think the same patients. We just got root im sure they have been working toward a work around since the phone has been released. So eventually if its possible someone will find an exploit i just hope eventually they find something that works for all current versions.

when i get to twrp after running sunshine for s-off, it has option to keep read only or swipe to allow modification. which do i choose for wiping data?
Does this work for Verizon devices? Also, if the phone is encrypted should we decrypt prior?

yes that is correct. you could just buy the unlocked developer edition and then unlock root and s-off then flash the Verizon RUU and have a Verizon edition that is unlocked and awesome. or mail your phone to Jcase and he will unlock the bootloader and s-off for you. either way

yeah the problem is that Jcase is having trouble coming up with a good way to package the exploit he is using on the HTC 10 verizon so that it can be done in the SunShine app. Thats the hold up at this point.

If you want to use it on Verizon you likely will be stuck on custom roms and Verizon firmware anyways ....without firmware from vzw it won't work and without a rom that has vzw advanced call features built in you will be missing out on stuff.

Thanks for this Tom,
But could explain why you need S-off? What are the benefits of having s-off or s-on?
If anyone can help or point me in the right direction would be appreciated because I think my phone is broke. I have an unlocked HTC 10 (non-carrier), unlocked bootloader, s-off(via sunshine), twrp 3.0.1-0-pme. The phone was rooted but ater a factory reset (s-on during that time) to try to get xposed to work data no longer works. I've done the following at least 3 time each with no change in results: format data, factory reset, flash SuperSU-v2.72-forceencrypt, flash SuperSU-v2.72, restore back up from twrp, re-flashed twrp. Can anyone tell me if I'm missing a step or is my phone useless. Thank you in advance!

yeah this does happen at times you need to restore a stock system image and boot image in twrp then wipe encryption to get your DATA working again.

I am assuming a Google phone.
You can drop out of the beta and you should get an OTA to take you back. However last I heard from others they are still waiting on their OTA. So that might require waiting a bit.
Anything else will wipe the phone. Unlocking it will trigger a wipe. If you are already unlocked you could do it....But you are not.
Everything you mentioned will wipe the device. The is no way to go back manually. The only way not to force wipe the phone is to wait for the release version of. 2 in a few months.

You'll need to wait for the mysterious OTA after you unenroll. That's your only option being that your bootloader is locked.

I also understand the magisk part,I think,but I'm really unsure about the files I have to download.
So,is there a good guide,or can you guys help me out?
Side question 2 : is it an issue,that I'm running the beta version of Oxygen OS?

Don't relock the phone and it doesn't matter if you have open beta installed.

You can't relock the bootloader if you have done any modifications, the device won't let you boot.
For now rooting is a must for the other camera, but there is a new version that comes out (hopefully) soon that enables other cameras without root or any other modifications.
