does the O3D p920 come with a factory unlocked bootloader??
im still not used to this phone as the others ive used had to have the bootloader unlocked manually
its unlocked, all you need to do is root the phone and then install cwm , then rom/kernel of your choice . Check this thread out it should help/assist http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1610998

Hey Guys,
I just unlocked my phone via unlock code. Now im planning on rooting it via SuperOneClick 1.9.1 method. So the question here is simple.. Can i root it and will the unlock stay intact even after doing?.. the reason this question came is My G2, i heard that when we root, the unlock goes away(if it is unlocked prior to rooting by code). Thanks in advance..
PS. the whole reason for rooting is the wifi dns problem im having .. and im on AT&T sim with data disabled!!!
Rooting shouldn't...Doing a system wipe to install a custom rom will. Don't quote me on that though. That's what has happened to my phones in the past.
Good to know.. But if i end up flashing a custom rom and the unlock goes away.. then i can simply re enter my unlock code that i have right?.. (i.e. if im asked on rebooting after installing it) owise im assuming it would work just fine..

When you unlock the device via HTCdev, it will say *TAMPERED* and *UNLOCKED* at the top of the bootloader.
theres no way to remove this, unless you relock it (but even then, it will still say *RELOCKED* at the top)
however, theres nothing wrong with this, unless the phone is going to be returned to the shop (they may check the bootloader to see if there has been any tampering with it). But other than that, just flash a new rom onto it by going into the "recovery" option and flashing a new .zip ROM

Hello!
I bought a Transformer Tf700 the other day and stupid as I was ( It seems ) updated it to JB before unlocking the bootloader and rooting the device.
So I have been searching around the forums, but it seems that there is no way to actually Root a JB device that did not unlock the bootloader in beforehand.
So my question is can I root&unlock the device?
The guides I have read only tells me that I can only root & unlock from ICS and to Downgrade to ICS ( from my understanding ) I need to have the bootloader unlocked... Witch makes this a vicious circle, so from what I have read its not possible to downgrade to ICS with out unlocking bootloader. And I can only unlock the bootloader on ICS.
So does anyone know away that I have missed? Or is it just happy waiting time for me ?
Best regards
Zibbr.
You still have to downgrade, but you don't need to be unlocked. Just download the .30 firmware, pop it on an SD and it will notify you to downgrade. Also, the unlock tool still works on JB if you still wish to unlock.
I recently bricked my device and had to do this, so it's certainly possible. I'm not unlocked just yet, but people say the unlock tool does work.
EDIT: I just used the Unlock Tool and can confirm that it works with Jelly Bean just fine...now to hope I don't regret unlocking!
Hi all!
I've had my galaxy s3 for about two months, and now I'm thinking about flashing a new kernel on it. I don't want to flash a new rom yet, only a new kernel. My model is gt-I9300 and I'm running cf root 6.4 with a stock kernel. My problem is that I have no idea if my bootloader's locked or not. So my question is can i brick my phone if I flash on a locked bootloader? And if my bootloader is allready factory unlocked, will I damage my phone if I try to unlock it by using hacks?
Thanks a lot and sorry for any silly questions (This is my first time doing this)
the s3 shouldnt have a bootloder at least i dont think so ....but to unlock it you would have to make a profile with samsung to unlock it and ...if its locked it wont allow you to flash anything it wont break it but it might brick it

Thanks! I'm going to stick to the stock ROM, at least for now
..I was already told by a friend here that if I again flash a stock rom in my sm-900p phone which I got unlocked for international GSM use (using from India) , it won't get locked again ...with all due respect to the friend who affirmed me already that it won't get locked ,can anyone else confirm that to me please ? I am not able to dare to flash the stock rom....since two days I am just waiting to take that step..presently I am using darkwolf rom but I want to flash with stock rom so that bootloader and modem gets updated and then on that version,I will flash this rom again ..that's my plan
If you mean will lock your bootloader, yes .
It will not lock your network again, if you already had a sim unlock/network unlock, it will remain as that even if you reflash, lock status is in a different memory not in the one overwritten by your ROM.
If you are talking about the bootloader, none of my motorola , samsung or htc devices relockes the bootloader once you have unlocked it, you have to manually relock it if you want to do that by any reason.
