I bought a 2nd hand Ace 3 GT-S7275Y. Apparently this phone is Unlocked (I don't know how he does it) which is great. My Question is :
Can I Flash ROM From GT-S7275 without bricking it or lock the network ?
I just dont want to flash some rom and make my phone locked.

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

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.
I got a new phone in Japan and I heard that my carrier docomo can unlock my phone at a charge of roughly $30 (according to a friend who got the same model). I was looking up online and found that it can be rooted now. It's relatively new so I don't think it's full root, CWM, custom ROM, etc. But assuming I could install some custom ROM through CWM or whatever recovery and I had my phone unlocked, would my phone relock itself? What about a rooted phone; will my carrier still be able to unlock it? I want to unlock my phone in the future, but not at the cost of losing it if I wanted to play with it.
BUMP
No ideas? :[

Carrier/SIM locking has nothing to do with the ROM or root or bootloader.
ThanksThanks
Thanks I was so much very about it
..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.
