has the flash always been orange or is mine defective?
also ive looked around but cant seem to find anything in regards to unlocking. can anyone provide me a simplified explanation on unlocking and flashing? thanks!
i have no experience with samsung phones but was a veteran on htc phones. so i know how flashing works

Hey,
Do sim locked Desire S phones allow to install custom roms? If so, any different procedure from the normal?
Quite a few threads about unlocking bootloader, etc.. I have to say I feel a bit lost and the one's i've read to not approach my doubt. (Perhaps i've been unlucky.. i really haven't checked every single thread.)
EDIT: That said, i'm not looking for full explanation and procedures... just want to know if it's possible. If so i'll take my time reading everything i can find well and learning by doing. I'm pretty sure that i can find all the procedures in here. Looking for a quick yes or no
Best Regards,
Daniel

as far as i know a sim lock has nothing to do with locked bootloader, s-on or s-off, root or not root, flashing custom roms.
so you can do anything you want without any difference. just follow the threads and guides, like you said.
btw. i think if you s-off, root and flash a custom rom you will loose your sim-lock anyway. but i
dont know which of these steps will do it
welcome and have fun
Is this a confirmed fact? The unlocking of the sim?
Always imagined it to be something quite deep in the phone, used to have a ZTE blade based phone that was unlocked by operator code... the moment i got back to stock rom the device got locked again.
I really am in blank of how sim locking works.
Thanks for the quick answer and the welcome

thats normal behaviour.
and i have red several times that flashing another rom will unlock your sim-lock,
i wouldn't give my life for it, but im more or less sure
and i DEFINETLY AM SURE that you will not gonna have problems while rooting etc. caused by your sim-lock. thats (again) for sure
I have always been under the impression that flashing a custom rom does not effect the sim lock, I have never unlocked the sim by flashing a rom.
Although I have now unlocked the sim by getting a code from ebay.

It's not a locked Sim, it's a Sim-locked phone, it does only work with one Sim
Sent my thoughts to your head with XDA App
Hi,
I have been looking at the forum for the last few hours and I manage to S-Off & Root my HTC Cha Cha.
It stills locked on a provider and I am trying to unlock using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" from PH06img.zip but it still locked and the mobile still having all the original apps.
I am lost.
I searched but still getting the some info, anybody can help me out?
Thanks!
Mhh, I may have written something wrong but would somebody point me in the right direction,please?
Thanks.
Eventually I found a solution. I have reinstalled a clean backup and the mobile still Network Locked.
Any help? Suggestion? 2 cents? Echo...echo...
Cool, I search on Google for this issue and I found my post! I'm still having this issue, anybody can give help me?
I read quite a bit of posts but I could not figure out what to do.
thanks!
Unlocking the bootloader doesn't unlock the network provider. Buy the unlock code on eBay. It's cheap.
Hello,
I've searched through xda and other websites but couldn't find a proper answer -- my apologies if this was already asked and answered in an existing thread.
I have purchased a S6 from Amazon, but the device is branded with Swisscom, with an awful boot logo and sound, and a few specific apps.
I'm waiting for a nano sim, so for now I don't know if the phone is also simlocked.
I intend anyway to install custom roms, so I don't care much about this, however I can't find out whether the bootloader is locked or not (in which case, I'll have to send it back to Amazon I guess).
Can someone assist with this? The device is a SM-920F, I made the OTA update to 5.1.1 upon powering it (which might have been a bad idea actually, from what I read later..). Not sure what the bootloader and rom exact versions are, but I will add them to the post if necessary.
Thanks in advance!
yes

Yes bootloader is unlocked. As far as which firmware you can use, you'll have to wait til you find out if its an international unlocked G920F. If so, you have many firmwares to choose from, just Odin and boot. Then recovery and factory reset and your CSC codes will all be lined up (that's just what I do) and happy flashing.
Thanks for the feedback.
Just got the nanosim, which registered just fine on Orange France, so the device appears to be unlocked and operational.
I'll proceed with rooting etc. in the coming days.
Cheers
i have an oppo AX5s & i have been searching everywhere but come up with nothing about unlocking the bootloader & rooting this phone does anyone know anything about this if it is even possible with this phone sorry if this has been asked before but i've google searched it & come up with nothing any help would be greatly appreciated?
Same here with version CPH1909....
Same here.
Don't care if I brick it but would like to root it.
Root Oppo AX5s
Someone needs to root this
Yeah I'm also interested I've just tryed random stuff so far. Non of the one click roots work. Well superoneclick they said they can do it but you have to pay.
I have the CPH1920
If I find anything to go with or discover anying I'll let you guys no.
I have a tech background but not in rooting phones. Like I use them not designe them ahaha
Edit- I have read there is a way to flash a stock room on them and use it to root the phone. I can't find any ROMs nor can I find a way to extract this one.
Hey has anyone been able to do anything with this god damn phone?
Still trying to unlock bootloader/root for this impossible phone, i do actually have a firehose file for it
Hello All,
Ok so first off you guys at XDA are the ****! I swear I can find anything I need to know on this site with a little research, much respect. So as the title suggests I wanted to know if it's possible to flash a SM-G970U (US) with SM-G970F (UK) firmware? I am basically looking for a slightly less complicated way of enabling "OEM Unlock" to Unlock the bootloader. And yes I realize that more than likely I will not be able to use any US sim cards with that firmware but if it is possible and I could unlock the bootloader I could basically load anything I wanted onto it right?
......actually seems like the SM-G9700 would be a better candidate for the firmware to load on the SM-G970U.
.....be gentle, I'm a N00B...kind of =\

Actually i want to know as well because i read somewhere where someone said its possible because they are all the same models........did it work for you?
yea no...don't do that it won't work
Lol i already tried it flashed succesfully according to odin but when the device rebooted it came with the same firmware before and nothing changed Lmao
how did it flashed ,please specify
I was told this is not possible. Unless you can find original overstock (i.e. that has NOT been updated) in which case you can pay to unlock the bootloader.
Otherwise, I believe any bootloader beyond v1 cannot be bootloader unlocked. Only hope is Sammie does us a solid when this goes EOL and unlocks the bootloader. Question is whether VZW and AT&T will prevent them from doing that.
My S10e is still going great, and if I could root and flash a custom rom I'd probably replace the battery and roll with it another 3-4 years because I have no interest in the larger phones that dominate the Android market now.
