Your phone wont brick. You need to have a stock kernel on for SEUS or PCC to even recognise the phone. Your bootloader wont get locked if you flash a stock kernel. You actually have to go about locking your bootloader it wont JUST lock itself especially with SEUS or PCC. I hope i helped you out
HITS THE THANKS BUTTON!!!
I have W8 ,
and unlocked boot loader with nAa kernel.
Might be PCC can detect my phone correctly.
And there's only available E15i stock kernel.
Then how can i manage ????????
I bricked my phone and repaired it with seus and it worked. Didn't do any thing to bootloader I flashed my kernel and flashed my Rom. And it worked

[Q] Flash without root?

Can you flash without rooting the milestone first? I'm planning to flash to a version that can be rooted and I keep reading that people have flashed using bootloader (power+vol up+camera buttons) mode but I can't find the instructions
Do want to flash a sbf file (firmware)? or a Modded Rom (like CM7/9, etc)?
if you want the first: you can flash without rooting the phone...
just download you sbf file from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465476
and use this tutorial BUT with YOUR sbf file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032372
If you want the Second: you need root and others stuffs ..
sorry for my Argentinian-English !

[Q] Please help: Unroot and TriangleAway- how to get stock recovery and kernel ?

A little info to preface my question: my phone is rooted, still on MDL, and i'm running Slimbean, with TWRP as my recovery.
I looked at all the tutorials for running TriangleAway and how to unroot, but there is one thing i need clarification on before I pull the trigger. TriangleAway requires you to be both rooted and on a STOCK kernel and recovery before running it, but I have no clue how to return my kernel and recovery. How would I go about this?
Do I need to flash a stock MDL rom first, run TriangleAway, and then follow the unrooting process (via Odin)? Would this automatically reset my recovery and kernel, or is another step needed? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
I still haven't figured this out yet, does anyone know which rom/kernel/recovery to use?

odin in a stock rooted rom and stock recovery. should be able to find one in android development or general forums. triangle away. remove root by flashing stock unrooted tar via mobile odin ( mobile odin does not increase your flash counter). tada

I337 running KangKat help with Sim Unlock Code

I have a unique situation. I have a I337 with KangKat installed and TWRP recovery installed. I just received an unlock code for my device, but it does not accept the code. I have been told that since the phone is rooted and running a custom rom that the code does not work. My question is can I download a stock rom. Install it using TWRP. type in my unlock code. get the device unlock. Can I then install KangKat again? Or will installing the stock rom messup my bootloader and I will forever not be-able to load a custom rom again?
I would greatly appreciate the communities expert advice. I do not want to lose my ability to install a custom rom but I need to have my device unlocked for international travel. Thank you.

Since you have TWRP installed, you are either on the MDB or MDL bootloader. Flash the stock firmware matching the version, using Odin. Sim unlock and then you can reinstall TWRP and your custom rom.
Run the follow commands in a terminal emulator (app) session or adb shell
su
getprop ro.bootloader

I fear using Odin. Horrible stories from the time I flash a Tab 1. Is this the only way?
Does anyone know if I recover to a stock rooted 4.4.2 rom will my unlock code work? or will it not work because its rooted?
Do not go to 4.4.2 as it has a locked boatloader and no direct root method.
I use odin on a daily basis and I haven't seen any issues. I haven't heard of anyone reporting any issues due to odin on this phone in this forum.

Ok i just downloaded the stock rom I337UCUAMDB_I337ATTAMDB_ATT. Does anyone have a link to the MDL rom?
I've been told to start with the oldest rom and work my way up till it doesn't fail the odin flash. What is the order of roms I should try?

Sammobile has a link to MDL.
The newer bootloaders prevent a downgrade of bootloader. That is the reason you have been asked to try from older to latest one that works. You need to do that only if you dont know the current bootlaoder version. I already gave you the method to find the current version on your phone.
MDB->MDL->MF3->MK2->NB1
From MF3 onwards, custom recoveries like TWRP/CWM will not work. The only working recovery is safestrap. You will also lose the ability to flash AOSP ROMS.
Wishing that it works with MDL stock itself.
All about MK2 and NB1
Got my unlock code working!!!
First off. I want to thank the XDA community with their knowledge. The quick responses to my post is much appreciated.
I was able to get my unlock code working without having to use Odin. Thanks to an internet buddy who put me on the right track. Since I have TWRP installed I was able to install a stock 4.4.2 Root AT&T rom. I then put my unlock code in. And BAM Worked!!! I then restored from my original backup and now i'm back to running KangKat.
Thanks all again!!!

And thanks for reminding me that with a custom recovery you can flash almost any rom. I had lost this ability long back when I moved to S4 and got a phone with MF3 on which custom recovery doesnt work. We can do only restricted stuff with the safestrap recovery.

To flash a flashable .zip file you need a Custom Recovery like TWRP. So,
1. Root your phone with IORoot25. - This will give you root.
2. Download and run AutoRec on your phone. - This will downgrade your bootloader to JB and install TWRP.
3. Boot into Recovery Mode (TWRP) and flash your modem.zip. - This will give you a new modem.
Remember to back up your modem before flashing a new one.
Thank you so much.
