Will this work? - Samsung Galaxy Mini

Hi guys, i have some questions and hope you could help me.
I bought a galaxy mini a while ago, and of course i was wondering if i could change the rom.Mine is in the picture , hope it helps. It updated a few days ago with samsung keys to 2.3.4. The problem is that it's locked in orange. It has a lot of crap that i dont want or use. The thing is, can i flash it if it's locked?And can you give me a few pointers on how to do that?
Thanks

You can sim unlock your device and then flash the rom --You can pay few buck and get it unlocked online or maybe there are some around your locality--... This way the rom will surely work...
Note: I haven't trying doing either and what you do is at your own risk!!

So this wont work until i sim-unlock it?

Thanks
flash another firmware? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1260707
no, it doesn't work... problem isn't in flash... it's locked like other models, but by another method now it's possible onle with buying codes
Hi, I had to unlock a Galax ACE and I did it succesfully.
The problem is that I can't find the same file with the unlock code in the Samsung Galaxy S Plus.
Some people post that the unlocking methods for Samsung Galaxy S or S2 doesn't work with S Plus. Now I have confirmed that Galaxy Ace method doesn't work.
Regards
I'll keep waiting ...
In custom firmwares like CM7 or equivalent, the network is unlocked. The rom i mentioned above has an unlocked network. It is the rom and not the hardware which locks the network that's why you can unlock it.
Hello
I just flashed my french SGS+ with the rom mentionned above but the network is lock yet

I had the same problem 3 weeks ago. Also coming from p500. First root your Rom then get galaxy s unlocker from play store. Make an /efs backup that's very important!
Then have fun, if you are into JB get helly bean

[Q] xperia T jelly bean update using flash tool [HELP]

Hey guys,
I'm extremely sorry for opening this thread.! Please forgive me. I posted my question in another thread but didn't get a reply. I am from India and I want to buy Xperia T (which hasn't officially launched in India) from eBay. I was worried about the official jelly bean update for the phone. As tge phone hasn't launched in India the eBay people are providing imported phones. I found a tutorial to manually update the phone here: http://android.sc/update-the-sony-x...o-official-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-firmware/
This is a flash tool method to flash the official 4.1.2 update only for Xperia T LT30p. I just want to know whether this method is COMPLETELY RISK FREE and there is NOT EVEN A SLIGHTEST CHANCE TO BROCK THE DEVICE BOUGHT FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD???? I want to know this as the Sony service centre in India won't even look at the phone if there is any problem! Please asure me of this flash tool method by taking a look at it and also,
can you please refer to this thread:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136173 and tell me what can cause this type of problems? The person who started this thread who has posted 'something' about Xperia T and he is from India! And he bought his phone from Germany! I tried searching the net for 'Xperia T India' but I couldn't find a thing. So I just want to be sure about the flash tool method mentioned in the above link. Has anyone done that before?

Then how do you suggest I update the phone safely and securely to the official jelly bean update? Or could you please give me a link to a thread where the question has been answered or to a safe tutorial to update the phone? I tried searching but I wasn't able to find anything that answers my question! And does this depend upon the region from where the phone is? Will I be able to update the phone using this method? Can anyone please help me with a detailed answer?! PLEASE!!
There is no 100% foolproof method, even the sony official method can ruin your phone if YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS.
However, IF YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS it will work.
Just try it.

Thank you very much... I was just looking for some confirmation. But now I got to know that this flash tool method is as safe pc companion method(correct me if I am wrong) I am pretty good at following instructions and also I have a rooted, bootloader unlocked, swaped xperia x8 running CM10. I am just so worried because I'm 17 and hence I don' t earn a single penny myself and this xperia T should last me atleast for the next 3 years. Would you please give me confirmation once again just for my satisfaction and also some general advice you think is necessary before following the above method? Like region verification, build no., kernel & firmware version, etc
...Pleaseee?!!:fingers-crossed:
I've pressed the thanks button

Yes, rest assured, it's totally risk-free, using flashtool and flashing STOCK roms and kernels is risk-free, provided that you carefully follow the instructions...
for the firmwares and kernels, regions and the rest, don't worry about these things, as you know, you can flash ANY GLOBAL firmware, whether it is for France or M.E. or Malaysia, so don't worry, just search and see what build number is the last firmware for your T, then flash it, and thanks to DoomLord, you can root it even you have locked bootloader, using his rootkit, so don't unlock the bootloader for now
wish you best of bests, bro

Well thank you... that was really comforting..! Now I will definitely upgrade to jellybean on the first day itself after buying the phone.. Thanks for your reply! I'll buy the phone in 4-5 days and I'll enjoy real lag free 'Sony' jellybean. For too long I've been flaahing ROMs on my xperia x8, so I'm tired of it now. May be I won't get into rooting, etc for another 6 months! Thats what I'm saying now!
By the way if anyone comes across a better method please let me know! Ofcourse I'll be searching too..

Yup.. I did give it a thought! But its out of my budget... or otherwise I would have bought a nexus 4 16GB! Though xperia T is nowhere near the nexus 4 in terms of looks and hardware but it looks much better than SP. Also the SP has just 5.8GB of usable internal storage.... I felt really sad that I can't buy nexus 4 as it costs 100USD more than Xperia T and SP costs 70USD more... But then I thought I'm just 17! Not everyone of my age is lucky enough to own such a phone.. Many of my aquiantances can't even operate a Galaxy Ace!

Come on Todd. You're not a newbie. Please search for information before making new threads. Especially on how to root when you know it's been covered a bunch of times.
and this is xda, not cyanogenmod.
Smh, No Todd, not at the moment. We have a locked boot loader. This means no custom kernel, and no AOSP based anything.
