does unactived phone means it's unlocked? null

No, unactivated simply means that there is no plan/contract on the phone, as in you didn't buy the phone and put a number on it. Unlocked means that it can be used on different carriers. So instead of buying a Verizon Note5 or a Sprint Note5, it would simply be a Note5 that you can put on whichever carrier you'd like. Hope that makes sense!

No, it definitely does not mean it is unlocked. Source: I've sold these phones.

Unactivated phone means that the device doesn't have a voice/data plan with a carrier (Verizon, AT&T, ect). However, most 4G devices on Verizon especially can be used on a GSM network such as AT&T, which means the device is unlocked.

Unactivated means not receiving network support and cannot be used to make calls (except 911). Unlocked means the phone can be used on any of the carriers networks and will have full capability as intended by the manufacture.

You have to make sure it is rooted.

No, unactivated means it does not have a wireless carrier service activated on the phone. If the phone is unlocked, that means you can use the phone on any carrier.

Not necessarily if purchased out right yes.

No, unactivated means that it needs to be connected with a carrier, in this instance that carrier would be Verizon Wireless.
