yeah, when youre looking for a device, thats been out for a while, pop into one of its forums man. We all ***** and moan about the crap that happens and sing the songs of praise for the good stuff and wee are all BRUTALLY honest about how we feel about these devices. Dont hesitate to ask man, thats why we are here
it should be getting it very soon. the releases come out in waves. These waves contain IMEIs and they are deployed via the wave to update. Or you could get it from sammobile and flash it yourself. That is the XDA way. Do, or do not. There is no try.

It used to be that every known method of rooting required you to unlock your bootloader to flash custom stuff, which you can't do on U.S. models. But now, they found a workaround without unlocking it to gain root access. Look it up

Can you please tell me how do I check if I have an unlocked bootloader?
I read that some of the GT-P7510 wifi do have it unlocked... I would like to verify mines. Thanks.

If you're asking.. then you don't. (no, really, I'm not kidding).
When you boot the tablet there will be a little unlocked lock on the bottom of the screen
Mine is unlocked but I don't know what the benefits of it are

From my little knowledge, an unlocked bootloader allows you to load custom/unsigned ROMs/kernels into phones. However, nobody knows for sure what it means yet... on a Tab tablet. Any gurus, please step in and add more info.
I would like to know if there is a procedure to unlock the bootloader on my P7510.
Google shows some sort of solution but for a 10.1 tablet that does not look at all like the retail one I have.
Thanks for your help.

You don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash custom ROMs/kernels. What you need for that is a custom recovery.
You mean like CWM 4.0.0.4? So what does a unlocked bootloader does then?
Personally, I would love to have my tablet as open as possible. Thanks for explaining.

Sure. Why not?
I'm downloading it right now, its a 1.8GB file.
I got my Note Edge from Singapore.
I tried to download but the speed is terrible. It would be great if someone could mirror it.
won't it have network carrier issues at all.
Should work fine on any 915G but please remember there is a slight difference with icons and such as , for some bloody stupid reason, the Aussie courts upheld and granted Apple copyright on some icon sets - generally for NFC. Go figure...

I have an S4 that is no longer used, so I decided I would see if I could root and install a custom ROM on it. Every one I find seems to be 5.1, and I was curious if the phone was even capable of running a newer version of Android. If so, are there any custom ROMs of the higher OS?

Not with a locked bootloader. The Sprint S4 has tons of 7.1+ so the hardware is capable but the locked bootloader really limits things.

I'd read reference to bumping the bootloader, and assumed that was a term for unlocking it. Is it really impossible to unlock?

Not unless you're on MDC, which was the first build released for this device. It would be a miracle if your device was still on that build. There's no downgrading that far, so yeah pretty much impossible. Not sure what "bumping the bootloader" means, but the answer is still the same.

Bump is a vulnerability only for older LG bootloaders.

Thanks, I managed to force it through. I couldn't do it through recovery since MIUI recovery 5.0 doesn't have update option. So I did it through updater - choosing an installation package
I'm in the the UK and the update is waiting for me. Not too bothered about it tho as it's MIUI and that means for every bug fix means at least 2 new bugs.

Use a different IMEI check site as the Google one doesn't have the kind of detail you need here. That said, odds are really high that yours is a Verizon device.

If you want to check to see if it is a Verizon model, you can use this.
If it's not a Verizon model, it should return either "NVZW" or "NON-VZW".

I think that is the unlocked version. Your first screenshot in Post #1 also indicates it is unlocked. I believe "VZ" would show up if it was a Verizon model when using the repair section of the Google Store.
Btw, if that is your real IMEI in the picture you posted above, you really should delete it for privacy and security concerns.
Lughnasadh said:
我认为这是解锁版本。您在 Post #1 中的第一个屏幕截图也表明它已解锁。我相信如果它是 Verizon 型号，则在使用 Google 商店的维修部分时会显示“VZ”。
顺便说一句，如果这是您在上面发布的图片中的真实 IMEI，出于隐私和安全考虑，您真的应该删除它。

I was kind of in a similar situation when I got my Pixel. I opened up developer options just to see OEM being grayed out and unable to be toggled. So I was also directed to the Google repair site to enter my IMEI and it told me that I had an Unlocked phone. Which confused me. How can I have an unlocked phone when clearly it is not unlocked. My issue was I got mine through Xfinity. So it made me wait a 90 day period and own the phone before you could request the phone be unlocked. But as soon as 90 days were up and I payed it off they unlocked it for me. So even though you may have an unlocked phone, sometimes depending on who you bought it from some carriers put certain restrictions on unlocking them. But like previous responses said, as long as it's not Verizon you're good
