So im thinkin bout buyin a used model, though it says in the desc it has a vodafone netlock. Which leads to my first question. Is there a difference between netlock n simlock? i only know bout simlock on those 'old' button phones, atleast that was the last time i bothered bout it. Since then i only boight a single smartphone without any phone company restrictions on it... yeah, it was so plain simple back then a simple routibe flash solved all of you problems, mostly... in any case is there a way to bypass a simlock or netlock, whichever it may be now? If so, what do i have to do to get there? Any specific model types which have problems with that bypass? U gotta tread me like a real noob here. Only thing ive done in my current, i let kingroot run once, didnt need to do anything, didnt need to... so i really dont have any exp with smartphones whats so ever. Im not a technical noob, just in manors of new g phones. Hope u get may point...
tl dr: need to bypass phone companies sim or net restrictions. What do i have to do, what to keep in mind. Im not worthy yours, pls tread me as destined, a noob am i. Whats wrong with me... pullin all nighters seems finally gettin through to me

hey, I just got ordered an 8125 today. It is still in the mail though. I was wondering, what should I upgrade on it once I get used to it? like I have no idea what to do. I have been reading on this site, but its hard to understand what ya'll are talking about, when idk WHAT is being talked about. heres some questions I have.
What is ROM, and what does it do if I put it on my phone. How do I get it on my phone.
Can I put WM6 on my phone? How do I do it?, as in how to install it on my phone.
thanks
Apparently you haven't done NEAR enough reading. If you have to ask questions like that, you don't have any business doing ANYTHING to your phone.
But -- right now -- all your questiona are irrelevant because all the ROMs will be gone from this site within a week. . . and I dare say it's because of "noobs" like you that try to flash their devices with UNofficial ROMs, then have problems or "brick" the phone (from not READING and FOLLOWING the instructions) and then run to the Carrier to cry about the phone not working or for a warranty exchange (which doesn't cover modified ROMs). And now, the Carriers and phone manufacturer have put enough pressure on Microsoft to stop the distribution of these modified ROMs because it's only after those "bricked" phones get back to the manufacturer that it's found the owner was not running an official ROM.
GEEZ!! Learn about features of the phone FIRST by reading the User's Manual and the tutorials on the Carrier's site. THEN, come over here and do some MORE reading. At that point, a good place to start would be the WiKi.

Notice how I said ONCE I get used to it? I have been reading, but its kinda hard to understand when you dont even know what they are talking about. I dont mind paying for WM6, I just want to know where I can download it, and how I apply it on my phone.
Unless your Carrier makes it available to you as an OFFICIAL update, you won't be able to upgrade to WM6. If/when that happens, it will be on HTC's website with complete instructions.
Im new to android, but i hear that after rooting you get sooo much more out of your phone, just bought my x10, pretty happy with it tho i can't get TomTom (my fav. nav) tho might find something else that works good..
is there an ETA or something for the rooting ? i know it has been done with SEtool, but what's that and what hardware is needed ?
one more thing, (if its illigal to ask ill delete this part) but some kind of market (like appstore) all the stuff for free (a.k.a Cydia, Innstallous ect on iphone) for the android system ?
and why can i not access the programs that costs cash ? im norwegian and the phone is the same, im feelin' pretty limited with my phone at the moment after having had a look at my friends Motorola Milestone witch has been rooted and works like a charm..

I said it many Times before and I'm convinced: There never has been Root even with SETool, many tried to do it with SETool and failed. We never seen proof of Root @ the X10 no matter in which way. Until we seen a proof for a successful rooted X10 it hasn't rooted yet. Besides SETool is a Expensive piece of Hardware including the needed Credits , who want`s to spend ~ $200 just for rooting his X10 ?
Okay, let me start my making a few points first.
1. I just had to retype all of this because of the silly Im not a robot thing.
2. I just joined, yes. I was reading without an account but because I needed help I had to make one. I didnt just waltz in with my question and make an account to be lazy.
3. I dont know what Im doing. I know very little about rooting and little about this forum beyond me reading the posts. Please go easy on me if anything I say or ask is dumb, or if Im breaking any rules. And if Im asking in the wrong place, tell me how and where to move it or help me by doing it yourself if you can. I know a lot of you have been here for some time and new people probably annoy you a lot, Im not trying to.
4. I looked EVERYWHERE. I clicked on a million google links, I read the first several pages of this section, and I did a seperate search on this forum and read those first few pages. I wouldnt ask if I hadnt already tried to find out on my own. I couldnt find anything. I didnt want to post here because I know Id probably have to wait for the right answer if one ever even came and I honestly dont like having to be patient. I would have much rather figured it out on my own. So please dont assume Im stupid or lazy.
5. Im not trying to assume you guys are rude and would be rude to me, Im just not sure and I know its annoying to have a forum full of well versed people and have to direct a noob and save them.
Anyways, I have a Verizon Note 3 on 4.4.4. The last 3 digits of my build number/baseband version are NJ6. Let me know if you need any other information, as Im honestly not sure whats relevant. Ive been trying to figure out how to root my phone for days. I havent been able to find anything for my specific phone. I know Ive seen people whove said theyve rooted 4.4.4 but they either didnt have the same device on the same carrier or they didnt say how. I tried Towelroot and Kingo, neither worked. I havent tried CF auto root because I think you have to restore your device or delete everything and I dont want to do that and have it not work. I also have insurance through Verizon so tripping KNOX doesnt concern me. (when you bring in a broken phone they only check for cracks and broken parts, nothing internal, dont even plug it in. Then they overnight you a new/refurbished one and you send yours back with the same packaging. No checking for root or anything.)
Now, I have 3 main questions here.
1. Can I root my phone on 4.4.4? It needs to specifically work for 4.4.4 on Verizon. If yes, please tell me how and provide links/instructions if you can. Remember, KNOX or not, doesnt matter. I dont care if I have to delete everything either, as long as it works.
2. If I restore my phone to factory settings, will it reboot in 4.4.4 still? Or will it return to 4.4.2 like when I bought it? Im kind of doubting it as a lot of people have bricked attempting to downgrade, so I think they wouldnt have downgraded could they have just restored. Also I know the new KNOX keeps the bootloader locked and prevents any older versions, so I would think it wouldnt allow a phone to restore to an older software. But I dont know, otherwise I wouldnt ask.
3. This one is specifically for Verizon. If anyone knows. I have actually planned on taking my phone in and getting a replacement as my usb port has been loose and the connection goes in and out, very stressful when youre almost done with a backup thats taken several hours. But if I were to do this, would the new phone I received arrive with 4.4.2? Or 4.4.4? Or is it up to chance? I know they probably send out refurbished models to make/save money so part of me thinks the phones wouldnt have been created with 4.4.4, and would still have 4.4.2 since the new parts are surrounding an old phone. Then again, Verizon sells some Notes with 4.4.4 now I think so I imagine they might just upgrade the refurbished as well while theyre at it. I dont know.
I have been very frustrated with all of this and help would really brighten up my week. I can live without a rooted phone but I do want it to be rooted and not being sure whether or not I can do it is really irritating. I also dont like waiting if I can help it.
Thank you all, I hope Ive provided enough information!
Welcome! There are a lot of great people on here that can help.
I dont think root is available yet for 4.4.4.
If you are on 4.4.4 and do a factory reset, you will still be on that version.
You might check another USB cable. I have what you describe happen from time to time and it's always been the cable that wears out. If not, you want to do an exchange before messing with root.
No root possible yet. Come back in a few months hopefully we will have it by then
Thank you! I really appreciate it, I honestly wasnt expecting any answers so quickly.
Ive tried a few different cords and its pretty much stayed the same. Its not a big deal because i usually just charge at night, I have a 10000 mAh battery haha. But if it gets worse i probably will take it in, for some reason it actually seems as if its gotten better. I might call and ask which software version is sent out with refurbished phones.
Honestly though i wish they would allow you to downgrade because since the update, ive had even worse service. Right now Im at a friends apartment and i normally dont even get 3g here but for the past two hours Ive had the big no service symbol up there. Luckily he has wifi. My service at home has always been shady as well and it has gotten worse but its not this bad thank god.
Ill just have to check back once in a while until i can root i suppose. But by then 5.0 might even be out, but im not exactly excited about that haha.
But thank you guys, youre awesome!

Hi guys, i am just wondering if anyone manages to flash the combination firware on a s10plus?
Why exactly do you want to flash a combo firmware on a S10+?

To change the csc of the phone.
of course... theres special way and files needed but i cant share unfortunately since not my files/method..
i also managed to get system privs already.. super easy!
No offense but you are like a teenager teasing a toddler with candy. If root is possible and so many people want it why not share? After we do live in the information age

im sorry? not sure where you saw that it was rooted? I have been working day in and day out looking for exploits to try and root it since it launched.. im talking 100s of hours.. theres no point in releasing something that A. isnt root. and B. that samsung can go and patch before it becomes anything remotely useful.
to add, I have friends n fellow devs i have worked countless hours with for years.. if they share something with me and ask i dont release it then I am not going to burn bridges and go against them, that would be very crappy for someone to do.. we trust eachother and if anything comes of it we work it out the best we can as we have released a high number of things to xda over the years including root on s8 s8+ n8 n9 to name a few so not sure y u r upset..
I was simply showing it is possible and has been done.. i figure its better to kno its possible then to have no hope whatsoever..
rant over.
