So,I am from India and one of my friend just got a SGS4G from USA.
Now the problem is that its carrier locked and it wont accept our SIM cards.
-So how can I unlock it? Do I need to flash another ROM or is there any unlock patch or anything like that?
An I think the carrier is T-Mobile.
Is there any way to get the unlock codes from T-Mobile?

You can't use Odin for nexus one, cuz it's just for Samsung phones.

Attached file includes a guide to flash bootloader using Odin.
I have a radio problem with my Nexus S I9020T and I hope someone can help.
I installed Cyanmodgen 7 and after a couple of days I suddenly lost all cellular reception on the phone (data and voice). The phone identifies my SIM card handler, but it just can't find any available networks.
I went ahead and reinstalled I9020XXJK1- GRH78 firmware using Odin, but I still can't get any network connection.
After installing the new firmware, my phone now shows "CARRIER INFO - EUR" when I go into bootloader mode. The thing is, my Nexus S i9020T is a T-mobile version bought at best buy in New York.
Can anybody tell me if there are any negative effects if the carrier info shows EUR on a US phone?
Thanks!
Why are you gents even flashing with Odin, when you're much safer doing it with the Android SDK and fastboot?

I have asus tf300t I never rooted on ics either and have bootloader locked. I updated to latest via ota updatesz is there a way to root without unlocking bootloader any link will be helpfull. Or guide me on how to unlock bootloader and then root.
Thanks in advance

You can unlock the bootloader with ASUS's official app on their website, search up transformer tf300 and there will be a .apk that you can install to unlock it. After that, use fastboot to flash a recovery such as cwm or twrp, then flash a root package or a ROM with root. Hope this helped!
Oky thanks can you send me link on how to flash using fastboot on tf300? Also cant I just keep factory room and root that if ao how any links will be helpful thanks

You can read this thread for more information about unlocking and rooting, but before starting anything, please think about it and be aware that unlocking the bootloader will:
- void your warranty
- prevent further OTA updates for your tablet from Asus
Cheers

Before you read, there are some considerations: I unlocked my device last night and I am running either .29 or .30 of the ICS firmware. I also, never connected the device to my network until after I unlocked it. So if you have a TF300T runing the above versions of ICS, then it should work for you. You said you: "updated to latest via ota..." If you did this, you are on Jelly Bean and at the moment, there is no known way to make your device "unbrickable." You can still mod it, but if you dont follow directions perfectly, you could easily brick your device. Now without further hesitation....
Here it is, the TF300T unlocking guide:
Go to the Asus site and download the v7 tool
copy the v7 tool to the tablet
run the v7 tool on your tablet from the tablet GUI
it will install the v7 unlocker application
run the unlocker application from your app drawer
you have to accept a few agreements
click the unlock button
after that, your device will reboot
This is how to confirm that the unlock tool was successful: After your TF300 reboots, you will see the normal ASUS logo in the middle and some very small text in the top left will say: "device unlocked."
Now for rooting:
If you already have root, and you want to keep your exiting root access, make a backup after unlocking. The backup instructions are included in the "unbrickable" method. If you do not have root, just make a backup anyways. Then you can flash a ROM onto your device that is pre-loaded with root.
I hope that answered your questions.
Thanks but no I am on jb. So I will just wait till a solution comes out for unbrickable before trying anything dont want to mod ot just want tp remove a few apps

It seems someone always bricks on something that was thought to be unbrickable. No I'm not suggesting you go forward, just the opposite. As long as you aren't sure about change enjoy your tablet as it is and just forget about the apps that bother you.
Good Luck!

That just means your boot loader is locked. Unlock your bootloader and you will be fine. Beanstown has a one click root method that is very easy to use and will unlock your bootloader as well.

He's on 4.3 with locked bootloader, you can't unlock bootloader on 4.3 it will brick the phone.

Yes it will. I was assuming he was rooted from a previous version. If he took the 4.3 Verizon ota update then he will not be able to unlock his phone. But that is what that message is telling him.
Edit: I posted the link to the casual root by beanstown but I hope you read stuff before you just jump in. The OP instructions are made for a reason and it clearly states in there that it is not for people who took the 4.3 stock ota update.

hello everyone , i have been trying to unlock the bootloader on my xperia e3 and i checked it says its not allowed .... so i was wondering is there anyway to change this from no to yes ? i have read lots of things about getting it sim unlocked some say it worked some say it didnt .. so basically whats the easiest way for me to be able to unlock the bootloader as all i want to do is put a custom rom on it to free up some ram as i have 100 mb free and loads used and its hell slow !!!
If it says it's not allowed, it means you can't unlock it by any means.
