not as in unlocking the bootloader
Thanks

N00b speaking : is it? in UK there is no SIM-Free ones from Carphone Warehouse or you mean there is a way to unlock it
I might be n00b. But I got my answer from Google UK. So I assume that's valid.

In fact I m drunk
it is available
but my Q still stands: is it possible to unlock the locked ones?
btw the noob in my Q was referring to me NOT to you
Thanks for your answer mate
I couldn't find any information about the phone being locked in the site you linked me to.
But anyway, i'm not from UK so i'm not sure. But most of the world are getting it already unlocked. Google UK Nexus S site says its unlocked though.
But i'm sure there is a way to unlock a locked Nexus S as it's meant to be unlocked anyway
But I can't really help you with that because I do not have the experience of unlocking a Nexus S yet.
Thanks for taking the time to reply
the price for the SIM-Free one and the Carrier-Locked one is the same but I was just asking, maybe because it's a challenge or because you might get your phone via a contract and you need to unlock it
Regards
No problem. I hope someone comes by and help you clarify things up. Sorry I couldn't be of any help.
mine came from a carrier upgrade in the UK and isn't locked.

Thanks for that! Now I got it..
That's why the price is the same
those devices are just "branded" not "carrier-locked"
Thank you very much

Glad that you finally solved your problem
I sold my Desire Z recently and found an announcement on the internet, some1 sells his nexus s. The device is brand new, bought from Vodafone Romania and the man said that is carrier-locked. Is there any way to unlock it?
I read above, all of you say that is only branded, not locked. But what if the seller is right, and the device is really sim-locked, how could i unlock it? any clues?

What if the lg gb update was meant to spite all the g2x whiners and complainers, by permanently being installed on the units with no hope of installing the official t mobile one when it releases, there by making the phone owners who were impatient and installed the lg one marked for warranty termination.
Just sayin...

except that they replaced mine free of charge/free shipping when mine got bricked.
Seriously? This crap again? Do people not have any clue what they are asking before they ask it? If you had done one bit of research you would know that you are not "STUCK" on this update at all. Many many people have already installed it and moved on to other roms since.

I actually would like to hear the reasoning behind your theory? Is this just brown shirt speculation, or do you even see a conceivable benefit to LG doing something as retarded as your theory sounds?

For sale - htc one - smashed screen !
I`m selling my HTC one, I left it sitting on a unit in my bathroom and knocked over the soap dish which could not have hit it any sweeter than what it did, The corner of the soap dish landed slap bang on the center of the screen... The phone still works perfectly, you can make calls etc and all features work as normal,.. except it needs a new screen and digitzer !
The phone itself has a couple of speckles on the back of it, Its the black ONE and I had the htc flipcase on it since new, If you do a google search you will see there are a lot of people that this has happened to with that particular case,. I replaced the case with an otterbox, ironically if I had of still had the htc case on it it would have protected screen...
The phone is unlocked and unbranded, It was bought from phones4u simfree for £490,.. Im open to sensible offers, Im sure it will be an easy fix for someone! It comes with original box, charger and accessories that came with it and original receipt also.
If anyone wants to buy it I cannot post it until wednesday as my new phone is not coming until tuesday! It will be sent royal mail tracked. I can take payment via bank transfer or paypal..
Lastly It has Modaco switch rom installed and if rooted, I can unroot and flash back to stock WWE rom if desired but I would recommend sticking with switch tbh
Any questions feel free to ask !
Images do not seem to be working on this site but you can see them on modaco http://www.modaco.com/topic/364219-for-sale-htc-one-smashed-screen/

XDA is not the place the sell stuff, ever. The marketplace was shut down. Try Swappa (link on the front page) or eBay.

I live outside US, and I am planning to visit US in the following weeks.
I want to buy a (non-contract) Nexus 5 by paying cash, I can not buy from Google Play Store.
I looked at BestBuy, but it seems they are selling Nexus 5 16GB version for $499.
So, is there any other retailer that has a reasonable price?
Thanks.

For 30 euro`s more you have a international N5 16GB with easier warranty (geographicly) and LTE comptability on Amazon for instance.
BTW on top of the 399 USD price you also have to pay for taxes and shipping.

No, they are not. They are all about whether you should by a Nexus 5 and where you should get your nexus 5 from.

Please keep it to one single thread. we don't want to keep coming up on the same thread every week. Just post it once and leave it at that. This is a developers forum, not a "help me buy a nexus 5" forum, so one thread would easily suffice.
Thank you!
my question is pretty straight forward is this a root-able note 4
my phone came in an at&t box i am aware that the note 4 from at&t is not currently root-able
however the tmobile version is and their model number is the same as mine the sm-n910t my phone does not match any of the at&t model numbers which at this point leave me quite confused as i paid out of pocket for my phone w/o a contract i don't want to be stuck with a nice shinny 700$ paper weight.
ps this would be my first time rooting and dealing with a boot loader
thank you in advance for your answer
Hi,
A quote from sammobile, "Galaxy Note 4*for AT&T carries model number SM-N910A, the T-Mobile variant is SM-N910T,"
So if you are 100 percent sure on your model number... As it is in the device, don't go by just the box details, then there's your answer.
Aside from rooting, you should be more concerned with whether it will even work on at&t, and if so , will you need to pay to sim unlock it.... If it's even possible.
You can ask the experts here about this,
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 > Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [NOOB FRIENDLY] Ask the question
Good luck!
Yeah i am running net10 for a carrier currently i hate contracts thats why i bought phone up front . But just to double check your sure its safe to chainfire ?

You need to ask all of this in the thread I linked. I have never owned that device. And I meant a physical sign on the phone of what model or is. On the back or inside on a sticker near the battery... If you can open it.
Again, ask in the thread before you do anything you shouldn't. ?
Ok soo. I flipped a coin and went for it people were split 50 50 so i went for it and yes it was rooted pretty sweet. Want to let you know if any1 else asks thanks again

Hi,
I made the "Jump" today to the Galaxy S7 Edge though T-Mobile. I got tired of waiting for Marshmallow. The V10 taught me that I don't necessarily need to maintain 2 spare batteries and an external charger (despite getting them for free from LG). I even don't even use the wireless charging circuit (though trying the QC wireless is on my agenda with this phone). Does any body know a market as easy as Swappa for accessories?

good
I'm curious as to how you made the "Jump" to the S7 Edge on T-Mobile when it doesn't even ship until March 10th. They are only taking pre orders at this time. Guess you are gonna sell your current phone and what, do without a phone until your order arrives sometime after the 10th? Just trying to put a little common sense reality into this thread.

It's simple. The first 4/5 of the post was to be ignored. The last sentence was the real intention. (it's an ad in disguise.)

Then he needs to post it elsewhere cause this isn't a market for selling his stuff. That's what Swapps, eBay, Amazon, and Craigslist are for.

Thank you for letting us know. It was very important for us to know this.
We will close this before it becomes a market that is not allowed on XDA
There is absolutely no selling/buying/trading on XDA.
OP good luck with your new phone.
