The Rogers i896 does NOT contain the codes inside the nv_data.bin and sgs unlock from market is useless.

Newbie with droid 4

Hi guys, i plan on buying a droid 4 on ebay. it is not unlocked. and i was really need help to get it working with Rogers in Canada.
can someone please list out the steps from unlocking, root and flash to ICS?
I'm coming from galaxy nexus and it was pretty much a one step thing. but the droid 4 seems a little more complicated after some research. like what is a safestrap??
any help would be appreciated!
thanks in advance *cheers*

well someone should probably give you the bad news... droid 4 has a locked bootloader

You don't need to "unlock, root and flash" ICS, you can just install the leaked ICS from the factory stock recovery.
The leaked ICS enables the global capabilities but beyond that I can't provide you much info.....
Also, flashing the leaked ICS is irreversible, though you can move forward as new(er) leaks are found and most likely up to the eventual OTA upgrade as well.
The leaks are designed to upgrade the stock phone.

sorry if this is a dumb question, im just kind of confused. because the seller on ebay told me i need to unlock it for it to work with rogers
what does a locked bootloader mean?.. isn't there codes that i can purchase online to unlock the phone?

the bootloader has nothing to do with unlocking the device on other networks.

So what do I have to do for the phone to work with rogers? Cuz the seller specifically said I need to unlock it for it to work with rogers.

There was a couple of post a few months back regarding Rogers pretty sure about how to get it working n what not just scroll through the post and find what you need...

I think what the seller may have been referring to is the SIM card. If I understand it right, the D4 works on the Verizon network with that SIM card. You have to either get a new SIM that is specifically for Rodgers, or you need to unlock the Verizon SIM card, and then it can work on anything. Sorry, I don't know how to go about doing it specifically for rodgers, but you should be able to search xda for the procedure for unlocking the SIM card. Good Luck!

No, there are no codes available. But you won't need them, it will work without!

I am on Rogers with this phone. I also figured out how to do tethering with it. Check my older posts and look up Rogers. So far, the only thing that is annoying is that it says unknown sim card when out starts up, and call forwarding doesn't work

Hi all I'm new to this site so please bare with me!!!

I have a Vodafone sim which I would like to use in this handset is they anyway of unlockling the system version software to accept my Vodafone sim?
I have unlocked the bootloader through the Motorola website if this helps!!
Thank you for any advice in advance.

Hey mate . Try here and you'll get a code to unlock your device. They are pretty cheap too. You can check other sites as well, but that site gave me the right subsidy code . Cheers

Thank you for the reply I have already used another website which sent me two codes and neither of them worked.
Is this one a reliable source?

I tired the site the user below has linked for you but the codes they sent me did not work. They sent me two codes, both of which were
8 digits long. Non of them worked. I payed with paypal so hoping to get my money back.
I have been emailing them and they requested I make a video and upload it so they can see that it does not work.
So i uploaded a video showing them. They email me back and tell me the codes should work. I then replied saying they obviously don't.
And now waiting for a reply from them...not sure that will happen...let me know how you get on if you have done used them already

Flashing a new rom will not remove the subsidy lock and from what I know there is a limited number of tries for entering the network unlock code (subsidy) so is possible u lock your phone forever

Hi king wolf. Yes I would say cellunlocker.net is a reliable website. My phone has been working fine on vodafone for the last few days now.

So, the carrier locked versions can be bootloader unlocked?
Two things that have kept me from trying to snag any of the T-Mobile/Orange ones on eBay (which are cheaper than the unlocked ones) are the limited success in SIM unlocking and the uncertainty about bootloader unlocking. It sounds like cellunlocker can eventually figure out the code to SIM unlock, but I'd rather not live with a locked bootloader again.

Unless you are planning on using development software on your device i think they is no need to unlock the bootloader. Cellunlocker will email you a 16 digit pin which will allow you to use any sim card in the device. If you wish to unlock the bootloader this can be done through the motorola website.

Not sure what you mean by development software, but I do plan to use custom ROMs, plus take advantage of the other benefits of rooting. I know the phone can be rooted without having the bootloader unlocked, but I don't think there's a SafeStrap for it, so we wouldn't be able to flash anything.
Some people seem to not have had luck unlocking the carrier locked versions through Motorola's website, which is why I asked.

Sorry I did mean custom ROMs etc for unlocking the bootloader. If it helps I had no problems unlocking my bootloader through motorola before I unlocked the sim through cellunlocker.

Hi,
i ordered the Code from cellunlocker, but it doesnt seem to work. They sent me an unlockcode like this: a524asafasf 123456 123456 w445ßsadf.
So should i use the numbers between the code (123456 123456), and if yes the complete 16 digits or only the first 8?

Is it possible to unlock a Note 3 that has blocked IMEI from ATT?

Hi guys,
Got my hands on a note 3 that is now apparently has a bad IMEI... . I was wondering if it is possible to unlock a note 3 from ATT that has a blocked IMEI? I looked through several unlock services online and all of them will not do blocked IMEIs...
If I can unlock it, I can use it outside of the USA.
Your help is much appreciated! Thank you!
[Updates few days later after original post]
So buying a code end up not working... it said "failed"
I decided to root the phone using the "Root De La Vega" method.
And then use Region lock Away and was able to unlock the phone! Now I am using it with Bell Mobility in Canada.
So if anyone in the future end up with a AT&T N900A Note 3 that has a bad IMEI, they can try the method I used.
Hope this helps, thank you!

if you are familiar with iOS, rooting is the same thing as jailbreaking basically.
a lot of people have been using Kingo to root theirs. you can ask around for help, but doing do will void your warranty so you might just want to pay for the unlock.
