Is that what it means when you boot the phone and it shows a padlock unlocked? I tried to root my phone but was told after the fact you can't root the ATT Samsung Galaxy S4....How do I get it locked again?

Ahhhh no thats not the boot loader that means you have custom files to get it back to official you have to delete the su partition did it put the su app on the phone? If so simply go to that app and select full un root

must have unlocked boot loaders!!

Not if you upgraded to mk2 and up (4.2.3) or 4.4.2 if your on Verizon or AT&T forget it your boot loaders locked and no unlock method has been found but if you never updated from 4.2.2 you can use the lokidoki do ki tool to unlock the boot loader :) or if your not on at&t or verizon your boot loaders not locked
