[Q] Question|unlocking

Hello;
I bought an unlocked Samsung Captivate from Ebay,
when i got the phone it was unlocked and used it for a while.
(got it 9 days ago).
I tried to update the phone once but I forgot to change the
"update.zip" file with the newer that I got from here
then the phone became locked again. I tought it was a problem with the rom so I burnt another room on it(cogniton 2.2 with hebrew on it). The phone is working but its unlocked. I tried unlocking it with the software named "terminal Emulator" and got 8 digits codes (numbers only) I wrote it down. then inserted my simcard and tried the code twice (it said that the unlocking was unseccusfull. I stopped trying to insert the code
(I heard it can get bricked but i didnt know how many times do i need to try untill its getting bricked). I got no idea how to open it up. please help me,
Thank you.
for any other questions that might help you... post it and i will answer. (I live in Israel and I cant get to At&t's lab to fix it)

if you search in the Q&A section of the forum, there is a thread devoted to unlocking captivates. This is the Dev section, devoted to development of new roms/kernels/etc. I was literally just looking at the thread moments ago, I just don't have the URL handy. go to Q&A and search unlock and you should have all your problems solved.

I don't know the answer, but you might be more successful if you poet questions in the Q&A forum. Good luck.

if any one knows please write to my

thank you

At first hi, welcome to the XDA-community! Second, you are at the wrong place. This is the T-Mobile G1 section, but maybe I can help you. My opinion is taht you just stick to the orginal ROM, because it is a new handset with a good OS. BUT, if you still want to root your phone, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415223 Though rooting requires basic computering knowledge I give you 1 big caution:
Rooting your phone WILL void your warranty
As you have a new phone, you don't want to do that in case you let it fall and the screen is broken or such. This post does have a easy rooting method so it's dumbed up enough for beginners in rooting. Second step is getting a new ROM (OS, still android). The handset if fairly new, so there are not so many ROMs available. Just google around.
I hope this got you started!
Cheers and welcome to our community!

Little help and advice (noob here)

Hi all, first off, I just bought a sony xperia z off ebay... second hand... and locked on the 3 network!!.
I am wanting to install a custom ROM and unlock the phone... both network and the boot loader?... I would like to wipe the phone clean and start afresh as it has come with lots of unwanted apps and other rubbish!.
Would anyone be kind enough to suggest a good custom ROM and/or a guide to do this?... I am totally new to Android having used iphones all my life so I haven't the faintest idea on how to do this...
I also don't have a PC. so it will have to be done via MAC... The phone model is a C6603 and its running Android version 4.2.2.
Hoping someone can help and any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Will

If you want to unlock the bootloader you might be out of luck as carrier handsets are usually locked down in terms of the BL, for anything else see the stickys.

[Q] Stuck in the bootloader. Plz help!

Hey, as the tittle says I´m stuck in the bootloader of my semi new HTC One. :C
Well the story is that I rooted my phone 2 months ago and installed a new ROM successfully which was great. Now this week I wanted to change back to the stock version and regain my insurance and back all the original futures of my beloved phone. I did a step here with I deeply regret, I formatted my sdcard. (Note this was my first doing any rooting or stuff of that sort). So as I wanted to get the stock ROM to my phone I locked up this video from youtube by Sakitech:- "How to Unroot your HTC One, and Relock the Bootloader". I follow his steps worked well but later I realised none of the RUU files worked with my phone.
So now I´m here with no ROM installed. Can´t get access to the recovery. My phone is relocked (the rooting). Can´t find any RUU file that works for my phone, so far (because I´m from Sweden and have the Nordic version). I´m stuck in the bootloader.
Here´s a picture of it for what it´s worth:

Please help me! If you have a solution explain it with "baby-steps" because I´m not yet experienced with these sort of things. Thank you! <3

Picture?
Can someone post the picture for me if I give the link to that person??? :/ I can send it through email or skype

Beginner urgently needs help rooting/flashing ect. from Z1

Hello, I have an XPERIA Z1 (C6903) with Android 5.1.1 (Bulit number: 14.6.A.1.236). I have now done the step "Unlock Bootloader" via the Sony website. It worked without problems so far. But now I can not get any further. All instructions/tutorials that I have looked at are very old and I can't get any further.
I have now installed TWRP and downloaded the image "twrp-3.0.2-0-honami.img" via the app. But the app says "Device not rooted".
How do I now root the Z1 after the last state? What tools does it need? How do I proceed now in general? Really need help here, I'm totally new to this. Would be very grateful if someone could explain it to me.

We can learn together, i have been trying to get LineageOS 19 on mine and i have gotten so far, phone is just stuck in "Phone is Starting"
I think in order to root you need to install magisk
