Hi,
I was thinking of installing a customer ROM on my LG-p999, and after reading the first sentence on this post I got scared. I was thinking on installing this ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863281&page=3 , but I guess that won't work. :S
Any advices you guys might have for me?
Btw my phone is rooted, and unlocked. I use a Fido SIM card.

Quick question, is it true that with this phone I can only access the Wind-mobile 3G network in Canada? :S

Hello Everyone,
Is there to unlock a tmobile g1 for free without having to call tmobile. Also if I do the spl thingy does it unlock it? Can someone tell me how to do it through the free way? Please let me know.
Thank You
Either pay for it or have a friend on Tmobile call in for ya. Please use the serach button as there have been many many many many many threads on this already.
no, you have to call tmo or pay for the service online, which can be expensive. rooting your phone does not unlock it. there is no free way other than calling tmobile.
What about this?
Hello Everyone,
But it says in this one that it can be. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464668.
Can someone tell me then what that is and how to do it? Please let me know.
Thank You

That post is incorrect. All it does is ROOT. It does not unlock the phone. You have to call TMO or pay for an unlock service.

Btw, you wont have to re-enter your unlock code when you flash a new ROM, as the rom doesn't affect it at all...
Original question(s) seem to be solved.

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.

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!
If I have helped, please hit the "thanks!" button!

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

I know it's only been out a few weeks but are there any roms out for this phone yet? I'm rooted just haven't seen any roms yet. I understand if I use a att ROM data won't work.
I have been away from the Note forums lately, but wouldn't flashing the ATT ROMS then apply the TMO fix work? I'm asking, not telling.

Best I can tell...the ATT rom, using the TMO modem will "possibly" work...
keep searching, I remember seeing a thread or two in the QA covering this...

Each carrier will have different versions to account for different bloat and some system options (tethering,...) But at large they should be the same

There are half a dozen or so of the typical Rogers apps (MyAccount, Ringback, etc.) but they are all uninstallable. That was the first thing I did was to uninstall those apps.

Ya, I was pleasantly surprised that all Rogers apps were uninstallable. Looks like Rogers is listening to their customers and letting us choose which of their apps we want.
I am wondering if anyone has or can make a nandroid backup of the stock Rogers ROM and post it? I missed making a backup
Thank you
