From ICS to GB

Hi all,
I'm getting the i9300 on release and giving my i9000 to my wife.
Before giving it to her j plan on flashing the latest stock, non root GB ROM.
Just wondering am I able to unlock the device or would I need a root kernel like chain fire (stock root) to unlock?
Cheers in advance!

Is the phone locked?
What rom do you have on it now?
If you flash an earlier rom from your carrier there shouldn't be a problem.

I'm in ICS cyanogen 9.
I'm not worried about flashing back to GB, its the unlock I'm not sure about. My SIM is O2 contract and hers is O2 pay and go... I remember the iPhone not working with her sum before and had to unlock that...

On Samsung based roms the status of any locks is shown in Engineering Mode:
*#7465625# (phone keys)

it will work
o2 doesn't lock their contract phones

CDMA note 3

Hi I have a cdma note 3 variant with LTE. On AU network in Japan. Can I use recoveries or roms in this section for my phone?

I would like to know too. If the LTE band is slightly different, can flashing rom adjust those things?

I want to know same thing. Can anyone help us ?

If your bootloader is not unlocked and you have no custom recovery, then I doubt that you will be able to flash any Verizon ROM. Unless you have something like Safestrap of Loki available for your phones.

Rom inquiry.

Just out of curiosity, does any one know whether there is work on (a) (rom)s for Tab 4 from T-Mobile (sm-t337t / milletltetmo)

J,
hi, until we get bootloaders unlocked for carrier variants OR get a safestrap working OR figure out if the tab 4 carrier variants
are succeptible to the RSA signature exploit, the answer is a solid , not yet.

I was under the impression that tmob had an unlocked bootloader. Because i have already flashed TWRP.

I was thinking the same thing and also have TWRP installed. I was looking now and still do not see any roms for this tablet.

Is the Unlocked 935U model a better buy?

I know some of you guys just flash the "U" firmware, but I want to just buy the phone unlocked. For the ones that just bought the unlocked phone, instead of flashing the "U" firmware, did you notice any problems using the phone on the VZ network? Do updates actually roll out faster?

No problems at all. I had the U model when it first was released and kept alternating between vzw, tmo and U firmware. Everything worked per the appropriate firmware. Moreover,b it's cheaper on BH photo since they don't charge tax as well

Go to B&H website there you will find the information.

Thanks!
Did just discover it would be pointless for me because in the future if I want to use it on ringplus it won't work

The answer is NO. The Verizon version is CDMA only.

Nope, I flashed the unlocked version on the verizon model and after a week it started running like ****. Just spend an extra 100$ and buy the unlocked model on swappa and call it a day.

You're kidding right? Every major Verizon phone in the last two years is factory unlocked. I'veused a Verizon LG G3, G4, S6,S7 , and S7 Edge on ATT.

Unlocked on AT&T

Hello, I just bought an HTC 10 from someone, its unlocked,S-off, and rooted. Currently running NuSense 7.0 with no issues. ATT installed my nano sim, set up APNs and I get 4gLTE. Question is..can I also run US unlocked roms as well?!? Change firmware and/or radios?! If not, could someone direct me in what and how to do it being I'm on ATT?! Thank you for your time.

Yeah you can fully convert to unlocked ruu and then run unlocked based roms. In fact it would probably be better in your case.

Thanks. I'll do some searching around the forums to see how its all done.

By the way. The 10 I bought is Verizon branded. Is this still possible to RUU to US Unlocked? I forgot to mention that. Thanks.

Nevermind. I've read through the forums. Found the info. Us unlocked super cid running viper nougat on ATT flawlessly.
