Unlock 4.4 bootloader?

[Seth Bliss]

I unfortunately installed the 4.3 ota update when it was pushed to my phone. Would installing the 4.4 update allow me to unlock the bootloader?

Probably not. Unless Samsung allowed it to be unlocked.

Sprint GS3s don't have locked bootloaders, do they? OP, is your phone a Sprint version? Exactly what are you trying to accomplish by unlocking?

My phone is a Sprint version and i'm just trying to place the gs5 rom onto it. Whats the best way to go about this?

You can't put a ROM from one phone (S5) on a different phone (S3). That's about the most certain way to brick your device there is.
