Hello,
I have a wonderful unlocked BL rooted T810, which I'm going to sell because a LTE S3 was given to me.
How do I make it stock again?
Is it possible to lock it again? Where can I find it's latest stock rom?
Thanks

Hi Guys I'll be getting my RAZR i soon so I wanna clear some things out if you don't mind helping a newbie
NOTE: I am experienced with root, ROM, CWM and other stuff because I am currently owning a SAMSUNG phone.
1. I'll get my phone SIM Unlocked already, if I flash other ROMs (Official and Custom), would it still accept my SIM?
2. It will come with US Firmware, if I change it to Europe or any other country will it accept my SIM?
3. Is it worth rooting? I mean going into alot of trouble for just this.
NOTES: I am living in Philippines, means no service center for Motorola, if I get bricked, then it's gonna be hard.
4. Updating the firmware on an unlocked bootloader will brick my device, does the Custom ROMs have a feature that removes the OTA Update?
5. Are there any CM 10/10.1 ROMS? Or any famous Custom ROM? If not, can you provide me the "best ROM" for Razr i? I am browsing some ROMs but I'd like to see more.
Thank you all.

Hey guys,
I own both the bell version of the xperia z, and the T-Mobile version. I ONLY want to use them as glorified tablets. Basically like the Ipod touch version of the iPhone, I want to use them unactivated. For me, its all about customibility and I really want to unlock the bootloader. I know neither of these can be unlocked, but in theory, if i wrote the software of the global unlockable versions (c6602/c6603) which DO allow for unlocked bootloader, would I be able to do it? I know signal would be screwy with the radios, but i dont care since thats irrelevant to me. Any help would be great, thanks guys.

Short answer: Never going to happen.
So its impossible to write c6602/3 software to it? Longer answer would be nice : P

Sorry, you can't unlock the bootloader if a device says: "bootloader unlock allowed: no" which is if you have a branded device. If you try it, you'd better throw it away.
If u can root everything is possible. As long as there's someone who provide geeky solutions
And under your situation u don't need flash different rom as there's a way to install recovery without unlocked bootloader in rooted phone.

hey, thanks a ton for the responses guys! So, is there ANY possible way I can get cyanogenmod installed on either my c6616 or c6606? (Bell and t-mobile)w
I don't have your phones so I cannot guaranty but you can try my method.
I got a c6603 from vodafone, and use ota to update to 4.3.
Since the 4.3 cannot root and I dont want unlock bl. so I use these steps
1. downgrade phone by flashtool to a version which can be rooted.
2. root
3. install recovery in locked BL:

4. Choose whatever rom you like and flash it.
DONE!
You cannot use custom kernels on a locked bootloader, so you cannot run CM, PA, AOSP etc.
Stock based roms only. There's no way around it.

Awesome tips guys! Got recovery working and its all good- just ONE last thing:
are there any vanilla style roms out there like cyanogen that are stock based? I just want my pure android with some nice customizable features, no kernel updates or anything. Can you suggest any?
Hey all,
I just purchased this NOTE3 SM-N900A, the dork didnt send me a SM-N900T. In any case what I would like to do is root it with an custom ROM. I have tried ODIN about ten times this morning using the T-Mobile md5 file and I keep getting an error about Secure Magiccode Check Fail: Recovery.
The phone is suppose to be rooted but I cant tell.
I have Samsung Sii,SII and S4 but this one (Note 3) is giving me some problems.
Any and all information will be greatly appreciated to get rid of the ATT stuff and just install a custom ROM. I dont care about any warranties and or the KNOX stuff.
I want to install the TMO firmware with the correct modems.
All suggestions and or comments will be greatly appreciated.
on the ODIN SCREEN it states WRITE PROTECTION Enable.
Videos are welcome too!!
Ciao~

Honestly you may be best off selling the 900A. AT&T has locked the bootloader, so custom roms are limited to one's that work with the stock kernel (basically only touchwiz based roms, no AOSP, CM etc...)

Well Damn, what I really want to add the TMO Firmware. I have it unlocked and rooted, but I want the TMO modems.
It's been done before, there are several threads about it on here somewhere...

How did u unlocked it ??? and coming on KK from JB locks the phone again ??
I have hunted around for an answer, but couldn't find anything that made sense.
I switched carriers (At&t to T-mobile) and have unlocked the IMEI, but I run into metric F--- Tons of issues.
So is it possible to load the Galaxy S6 Tmobile stock rom, or even a custom rom onto my At&t Galaxy S6? If so how do I do it?
Thanks for any help!

Given our AT&T version has a locked bootloader and is also the only derivative still on 5.0.2, there is quite literally nothing you can do. Being on T-mobile now, I would sell that G920A for G920T in a heart beat.
You may be able to root and install XtreStoLite rom v1.5 for increased performance and battery life, but that will never get you things like wifi calling. (which you'll probably need on T-mob)

Thanks for replying. What do you mean it has a locked bootloader?
Hi, I have an locked tmobile galaxy s8 plus and i wanted to flash an unlocked firmware on it so it can be used on any network. Is that possible?
If yes, can someone please point me in the right direction? Tia
Short answer is No. So yea...as of right now, u can pay 130$+ to get unlocked or as tmobile to do it.
