I am planning to install a custom ROM on my phone, and I was looking up how to unlock the bootloader.
I've not unlocked a bootloader and flashed a ROM in quite some time, the last was my old HTC Sensation.
I stumbled upon a thread about how phones from the carrier I'm on, which is Three here in the UK, do not allow bootloaders to be unlocked.
"Three (and phones direct from networks ie. O2,Voda,Orange,Tmo) = SIM LOCKED, and Bootloader unlockable = No. Which means You can Sim unlock the device but Bootloader remains forever locked. Unless someone manages to find a exploit."
That was in 2013 though so does it apply still now?
