This might be a silly question but I'm hoping you guys can help me out, I'm looking into buying a razr i xt890, if I unlock the bootloader and root the device will I be able to use any sim card? or sim unlock has nothing to do with this and it's an entirely different process? any info will be greatly appreciated! thanks a lot!

No Sim unlock is not the same as root an unlocking the bootloader .root will give you access to the system to change permissions ect
Remove apps you don't won't all stuff like that unlocking bootloader will allow you to installed custom recovery and root there are threads all about it on the forum and unlocking the Sim can be done via websites for phone unlocking and I think I might be wrong no to sure but some where on xda there are some threads about Sim unlocking hope this helped

Hey there,
Im interested in doing my first root but im terrified of bricking my phone.
I've come across the method using odin and the auto root file from
autoroot.chainfire.eu
However, I still have a couple of questions I have not found an answer to due to there being a lack of tutorials featuring my phone model.
My first question is does my model have a locked boot loader? Which is going to cause my phone to become bricked if I dont somehow disable it? Much like the Verizon(?) Models.
If so how do I disabled it for my device?
Also when it comes to the autoroot file, do I need to look for anything other then model number? (Galaxy S3 I-9305T) S/N, chipset, etc.
I wish towelroot worked for my phone, sigh
Device details:
Galaxy S3 I-9305T
Android 4.3
Australia
Carrier is Telstra
Thank you in advance

The easiest way is to use chainfire autoroot with odin on your pc make sure you follow the instructions to the letter also i9305t is compatible with i9305 software as they are the same phone good luck : )

"If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device "
So there is no locked boot loader to the best of your knowledge?
Also, thank you

If you are on Android 4.3 then you will have the "new" knox bootloader. Read up about it.... I deliberately stayed on 4.1 on two separate i9305s so as not to enounter Knox issue so I can't help you. Google is your friend, e.g. search: xda root i9305 knox

I don't have the s3, but most phones come with locked bootloaders, so you'll probably need to unlock it.
Also, I doubt you need to look at s/n or chipset, I didn't need to for my HTC or Motorola phone.
Not quite relevant, but Telstra is a rip off (unless you need amazing coverage ).
Hi,darthkoax,
Rooting Android phone involves installing a code inside your device so you can access the system with all permissions.The procedure Rooting Android does not change the version of your operating or delete data or applications system is a safe procedure and can be reversed easily.Another thing is the bootloader, issue that currently do not have to worry, but you have to know that depending on the way of rooting your phone can change the status of Knox counter.In other words: the counter Knox change the status of your warranty and depending on the country where you live can lose the guarantee.To reset the counter Knox is necessary to unlock the Knox bootloader/vers.4.3;4.4.4/-something that so far the developers have not gotten to our terminal.
Here is a good tool for root your handset:http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...msung-galaxy-s3-unified-toolkit-v8-0-t1979290
Naturally you can use CF Autoroot,KingoROOT,and so on..you choose.
Always read several times before flashing!
Good luck

First of all, welcome to XDA.
Second, you dont need to "unlock bootloader" for themes and apps. Root is enough.
You can find how to root it in Development section of Xperia Z1 forum.
For any question, write here, and i will reply as soon i can.

You are using Z1s so you cant unlock your bootloader. It's locked by request of T-Mobile...
However you can root without unlock bootloader
Try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53407127&postcount=1004
or just use Towelroot to root
You can install recovery (must have for rooted device), ROM, any many things...but no Kernel for now (require unlocked bootloader...)

Unlocked bootloader is always rootable. But there is no difrence if you achive root with BL or UBL.
ROOT is just admin right and gives you option to mess around your phone.
And if you aim just to modify your phone a little bit, always try to root it without unlocking bootloader.
