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

1- You need to root your phone (z4root is best). Check the Dev section for Rogers i896 root and unlocking threads.
2- Follow the instruction from http://www.communityhosting.net/sgsunlock/
3- Enjoy your now unlock phone

as i know, upgrading your rom will not put your unlocked phone locked again...
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!

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

What?
Hello. I have an AT&T S5 that is currently unlocked and I am using it with T-Mobile. I would love to root it and put Cyanogenmod 11 on it, as I put it on my nexus 4 before this and loved it. they say on the http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Klte_Info page not to use this guide due to the boot image signing. Does anyone have any information/instructions on how to go about completing this? Thanks!

OK, so I dont want to sound rude so forgive me if I do. but a search in the forums would show you that CM/AOSP/AOKP will not run on an AT&T S5 due to locked bootloader

I've also seen a lot of stuff about unlocking bootloaders on AT&T s5's though, so I was wondering if it is possible somehow.

unfortunately the BL will likely never be unlocked so the chances are extremely slim we will ever see a nything but touchwiz roms.

You can unlock the bootloader on other versions of the Galaxy S5 but you can't unlock the bootloader for the AT&T and Verizon version of the Galaxy S5.
maybe someone can actually get cm11 working for this device i once intalled it using safestrap and it booted touch and everything work but the screen didnt show anything

NO. You can't. On top of that, you posted this in the wrong section.
(Q) Questions don't go in Development.
This question is about two or three years old almost. Dude, almost all of At&t phones have LOCKED BOOTLOADERS and we will never be able to get passed it. NEVER EVER EVER,,,,,,,,Buy a T-Mobile phone!

NO. Someone wont. You go right ahead and keep flashing files, your phone is going to die. I wouldn't be flashing just whatever to see if it works. That's not a very good idea.

OK, just to clear this up one last time.
1. We can not install custom kernels, Stock TW kernels are not compatible with CM/AOSP/AOKP ROM's
2. the flashing process although it will complete does not mean the ROM will run.
3. There is (currently) no way to circumvent these issues.
4. SafeStrap will NOT flash kernels only the file system.
Some S5 and S5A devices (international models, Tmobile, Sprint) to name a few have unlocked BootLoaders
those devices can and do run CM/AOSP/AOKP ROM's. AT&T has a Locked BootLoader
I really don't mean to sound condescending however this device is fast approaching it's first birthday and many many people have tried to run CM or CM derivitives on the AT&T device, there are tons of threads cluttering the development forums in regards to this issue continuing to attempt to install a CM Build and then posting here in the AT&T forums is at this time a pointless effort.
Using the search feature either ein Goolge or in the forums will provide all the answers you need.
Thank you,

Well, one can only hope! :laugh::laugh:
In defense of the OP, it's pretty confusing that there's the Unified Development subforum which shows up under the AT&T section... I've been wondering why there's all these threads in a subforum to AT&T talking about installing all these roms that I know shouldn't work. I figured it was just something more involved than I'm comfortable with so I've ignored it. It seems like until the AT&T BL is unlocked that we shouldn't even have the Unified section linked here.

You have to unlock it. If you have an AT&T device it's locked.
This is the reason I'm using my upgrade to get a Nexus 6.

hate to burst your bubble but if you get the nexus 6 from AT&T it will also have a locked bootloader it is up in the air on whether or not it will be able to be unlocked. the only safe way to gaurentee an unlocked bootloader is to buy the nexus 6 unbranded direct from google.

Sending this on an unlocked nexus 6 from At&t. Not sure where u got that information but it's false. Upgraded from the S5 myself, no more locked down phones for me again.

im merely pointing out that everything i have read has pointed to it being locked (not that it cant be unlocked mind you) AT&T rarely sends devices with the bootloader unlocked whether or not you can unlock them is a different story. i merely stated that "From what i had read" sorry for the confusion
EDIT: in fact here is the thread stating it comes from AT&T locked but is unlockable
bl
and if at&t will want they can unlock BL right? or is there any way to ask them bl unlock?

They could unlock it yes, but they won't, they won't do it upon request either as far as I know.
