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

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. i m a little confused about phone unlocking. i m on Three UK with a HTC phone which is carrier locked. so no other sim is gonna be used on that phone. if i unlock the boot loader via HTCdev and after that i install/flash a custom rom, will it stay locked? even after flashing another ROM? and can someone tell me how the carriers put a lock on their devices?
thank u.
Hi there ive tried flashing over my xperia j with a branded stock rom and during the process i get an error "This file is ignored : simlock.ta", has this got anything to do with not being able to unlock it... Should I unlock bootloader or try another rom also the phone is unrooted and has no recovery atm, I just need to unlock the sim/network....
Thanks
..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.
