Verizon has a locked bootloader. Only tw Roms and basically, from the Verizon forum.

KLTE is the developer edition of the S5 for Verizon, not the retail version. Developer edition was only available for purchase from Samsung. If you purchased your phone from Verizon it is the retail version and not the developer edition.

Thank you. This is too bad
I bought it from some dude. I don't think so he bought it from Samsung directly.
I guess there is no chance then..
Is there someone working on unlocking the bootloader on Verizon phones ? Or should I just sell my phone ? I love flashing, this is nightmare.

If this is a nightmare for you, you need to check your priorities. No one is "working on" bootloader unlock because there's nothing to "work on." It's not ROM development...

[Q] Install i9505 rom on AT&T S4?

Has anyone tried installing the international rom on the AT&T version? Aren't the phones both the same? Or can anyone make a port of the international rom like for the Note II? Thanks!
Not sure if it would work. specs are similar though the LTE bands show some differences.

The AT&T version has a locked bootloader so no.

I'll keep this short and simple without being rude. The AT&T Galaxy S4 has a locked bootloader, which means we currently cannot install any ROMs whatsoever. The Canadian variants have unlocked bootloaders, so they might be able to answer your question, but otherwise check back around the end of the month (when we anticipate that we'll have an unlocked bootloader, thanks to djbliss).

[Q] Galaxy S5 Verizon developer edition ROM availability

Can anyone tell me if the Galaxy S5 Verizon developer edition will be able to take general GS5 ROMs (AOKP, Omni, CM) and:
1. Still work on Verizon network?
2. Remain unlocked?
Thanks!
Flashing a rom will not somehow lock the bootloader. I'm pretty sure they'll need to be ported to Verizon to work fully.

Are there any Custom Roms available for the Verizon Galaxy S5 G900V? If not, are there going to be any coming out in the near future?

Flashing Non Verizon Roms (i.e., from unified development roms), possible?

Hi Guys:
I don't want any Verizon related software on my phone, since I am using a different SIM. Am I restricted to flashing only the roms located in this forum for my S5? Or can I flash any of the Cyanogen or unified roms to my phone?
Anyone?
Is your phone unlocked? Or do you have the retail version? I'm just going to make the safe assumption that you bought the retail variant, therefore your answer is NO.
If you have the Dev version then have at it...
No one with a dev phone would need to ask. So no
Great thanks guys. Yeah it is a retail version not dev version. Damn that sucks.. whenever I dial *611 it still goes to the Verizon customer service line. I can't seem to change that even after uninstalling and freezing as much of the Verizon stuff on the phone. Any ideas
Buy a nexus!

S8 help

Hi all, I'm very new to the whole community and I just had some questions regarding the S8. I heard you can install custom roms and such but I have no clue how to start. I bought an unlocked s8 from best buy and is currently activated on Verizon. The model is G950U1 on OneUI. Any direction or link would be appreciated. I'm getting tired of OneUI. Thanks.

you bought a Sim unlocked version. The bootloader is locked no custom ROMs. You can search for jrkruse efl safestrap. And root. A few stock based ROMs but that's all

So theres no possible way to unlock the boot loader? I saw that in some models there is an OEM unlock option under developer options but I cant find it on mine.
