[Q] ROM & Unlock? - General Questions and Answers

hi, i am new here,
i wanna ask:
1) What is ROM ?
2) What is Unlock?
2a) how to unlock?
i often see the posts with this term

A ROM is a complete system replacement for your device. Contains an operating system, applications and configuration mostly.
First of all, you should go to your device's dedicated forum and read the sticky threads which present the latest ROM information. you can probably find guides regarding ROMs and ROM replacement.
As to unlocking your device, you will be able to find this information in the dedicated forum, as well as using the search option.
If after reading you have more questions, you're always invited to post your question here.

Hello Everyone,
I am sure there are a bunch of similar post, but I looked around and found a post on rooting and unlocking. The questions is
Is the linux version up-to-date and is the recovery included up-to-date? I downloaded it last night so it should be current, but I want to make sure.

Which tool, Casual? I have a Windows pc so I can't troubleshoot with you but the existing Windows exploits work and have not been altered in any way so the same goes whichever tool you downloaded.
Thanks just checking.
Not a problem, it should work for firmware:
-VRLF2
-VRLG1
-VRLG7
-VRLHE

[Completed] correct subject to post questions for TWRP install questions

I was able to root my my new lg g2 (verizon) with the ioroot but I have searched and searched but couldn't find an answer why the loki_flash returns aboot does not match for my device. I have the img files since it states to do img files before using the zipped files. I need to find out where to post this question as I have tried 3 different ways with no answer.
Secondly - new question - where can I find information on installing the AutoRec.apk to try to complete the same thing? This is my first root and I have read a lot and searched a lot but I must be missing the correct post to read through. Thanks in advance...
I could be wrong but it seems like you are referring to a specific thread to which you can't post yet. An Ideal way to get quick and accurate answer is to post in this Q&A forum instead.

[Completed] Set up customs dates for mobile datas.

Hello everyone,
I'm on Cyanogen Mod 12.1 and i can't set up the dates for the mobile datas. It's useless if I can't set up the good period. Hope you understand what i'm saying.
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
Try posting where you for your CM12.1 ROM from, things like you are doing are usually general for all devices but there may be something about how the ROM was made causing your issue, if so, the ROM thread will get you the best answers for how to correct your issue using that ROM, if a solution can't be found then consider another ROM that could possibly allow you to do what you need. If you had listed what device you have I could have linked you to something more specific for your device.

I am using samsung galaxy j7 2016 and rooted it using magisk. But when i tried to revert to stock after getting bored, it booted up and showed no command screen after flashing and on pressing volume up+ power button, it showed some recovery logs(image attached). Now i dont know where the issue came from. I also wiped efs by mistake but restored it somehow.
Now i decided to flash custom rom to fix this issue. I chose the rom which is flashable version of my stock rom. It booted up normally and showed all the efs info normally. But then i did the most foolish thing, i turned off developer options by mistake which also turned off oem unlock. I rebooted the device for no reason and phones says ' custom binary blocked by frp lock'. I tried to flash stock rom again to fix this issue but it encountered no command error again and i either cant access stock recovery.
Is there any way to unlock oem in download mode and fix no command issue.
I want to recap that i have a phone with inaccessible stock rom, locked oem and no access to recovery except download mode.
Please help me
