Hi!
I want to get a Samsung Galaxy S4 but I was wondering if I could just flash it?
In exemple:
I get a T-Mobile phone and I want to get it to work on AT&T network, can I flash the ROM so it recognizes the new sim card or unlocking it is really required?
Thanks =)

You need to sim unlock. Flashing a rom won't do it.

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
Hello, I just got a s4 and I love it. Where I got it said it is unlocked. Now how can I check to see if it is truly unlocked. Also is there like a easy guide to rooting it?:laugh:
Try a different carriers sim. It's the only way to check if it's unlocked

I have a Verizon S4 that is currently unlock and works on AT&T network, but I will like to have a Full AT&T Rom in it, Can I just install a ROM from the development section? or even use Odin to get a Full Stock AT&T Rom in it?
thanks.

Which firmware version were you on when he tried? I believe you have to be on an older firmware first like PC5 before it'll work.
Flash your phone to PC5 and try again.

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.

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.
