Hi guys
i just wanted to ask if flashing CM10.2 on my unlocked relay would still enable me to use any network and would not lock the phone back again?
That's correct. Once the phone has been unlocked using the stock ROM, it remains unlocked from there on out. It's only rooting that is lost when reflashing, but our CM rom comes rooted.

Hi guys,
How to check which bootloader i have? I got it from ebay, had already been updated to jb, dont know if it came like that from company or not. Use asus unlock apk to unlock the bootloader.
I'm asking because I want to install TWRP and root it and install custom rom...I'm reading guides and im a bit lost about jb and non-jb bootloaders and stuff.
I'm not new to flashing as im still using galaxy s and you know Samsung support sucked hard on that one.
Thanks!
If you had JB from stock, you have JB bootloader
Hey guys,
Today I went to root and unlock the bootloader of my Verizon Galaxy S3 however, after unlocking the bootloader, I went to change the bootchain and I got Verizon's annoying message about how the software isn't recognized. Any suggestions on how to fix or how I can return to stock without flashing the stock image and loosing data?

I believe I got the unlock code for my One S while it was stock/rooted, but Im on a custom rom and was wanting to switch carriers to an ATT MNVO.
Can I just pop the new sim in and it will prompt me for the sim unlock code on the custom rom Im running right now? Its with 2.16 hboot using the Viper Rom / Sense 5. Or will I need to do a complete reset of the phone to bring it back to stock first?
Thanks
As far as I know, it's best to unlock your device on a stock rom. Once it's unlocked you won't need to do it a second time since it's permanent.
I had some trouble unlocking my device on different custom roms, just as i went back to a rooted stock rom the unlock worked.

..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.
Hi All,
I have, well now had, an unlocked Tmobile Note 5 . I was messing around with various roms without much problems until I installed the xposed framework. Long story short i could get passed the splash screen. So, i went to TWRP and installed a perfect backup I saved of Darth's rom. Upon booting i was greeted with an invalid sim message. I tried reverting to a stock backup via recovery but i had but still the same message.
Now i need to unlock again, which i can only do on a stock rom bc the tmobile unlock app recognizes I'm on a CFW.
I tried restoring the modem and EFS from a backup that was unlocked and no dice! I'm wondering which unlocking method could have possibly been used.
My question
Once I'm unlocked, which files can I save in the event I need to reinstall if lose unlocked status again?
Thanks
