I'm also confused with "loked bootloader" thingie... I have a Samsung captivate now.. I can flash any rom whenever i want... can ithis be done to this phone? ISC?
And the most important thing I need to know... I couldn't find any Sim Unlock method.. is any avalible that you know?

1. Theresn't any unlock method as Galaxy_S unlock app, or anything like this. You'll need to buy your code. gsmliberty.com is a good place to get it.
2. You can root your device easily.
3. You cannot flash any rom, this is a locked bootloader effect. (by the way, you have not too much option of custom roms in razr as unlockes bootloaders device have, like the samsungs...
Wish you luck on razr. Cheers!
Hello,
so a friend of mine just bought an s3 and he wants to update to JB, but hes on a different carrier than i am
and im 90% positive his bootloader is locked - any way to verify this? so i can then root him and flash something pretty on his phone
you dont have to root to flash JB, only if you want a custom rom.
Just flash a JB rom on his phone using odin

Samsung phones don't have locked bootloaders...
Forgive me if this is stupid, its the only solution I have been able to come up with to my original issue (here if anyone has a better solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2798335)
Because I cant access my recovery I need to flash a stock firmware to basically wipe the slate and start again. The only issue I have is that the only ftf file I can find for the UK is unbranded whilst my phone is locked on EE, if I was to flash the unbranded file will it play nicely or are things going to go from bad to worse? I would guess that it probably wouldn't work, but it there's no harm in checking.
so nobody knows the answer to this?

It should work but I think the SIM won't work. Then again, I don't know anything about locked carriers (Never had one).
If your bootloader is unlocked, try the EMMA service by Sony. It finds your phone's stock firmware if you're on a custom ROM with unlocked bootloader.

Thanks for the reply. I don't have a unlocked bootloader though and without the possibility of unlocking it too.

Try the Sony Update Service.
It should automatically find the latest firmware for your device and flash it.

Hi guys. I was wondering how could I root my device, been trying on my own for days and couldnt get it done. Im on Android 10 and my version is SM-G9650. Ive never flashed any rom or recovery to it, what I could do was to unlock? the bootloader of my device by going to dev setting and activating OEM unlock. Thanks beforehand.
So you say you can't get root done but then at the end you claim to only have unlocked the bootloader. I'm presuming you've searched XDA for the numerous rooting guides available that provide step by step instructions? If your using a guide then you should be past the unlocking of the boot loader and there would be some step you are stuck on? Can you tell us that step?
