If you would have read XDA's rules, you would know you aren't allowed to ask for ETAs, plus it is obviously that there are no roms for this device.If you would have just searched through the topics instead of getting lazy and considered that spamming the forum would be easier, taking in consideration that there are at least two others topics about this...geez :silly: .

Unlocking the bootloader will allow you flash different Custom roms(beta of CM9(ICS) is already out) and kernels.Check the development section for roms and decide if u want to use custom roms or want to stay on the stock.
Precision !

Thank you for the information.
I have another question interested? What happens if I flash a ROM without having unlocked the bootloader?
In fact I did it!
And from the device tells me "failed boot 2!" It is because I have not unlocked the bootloader before? And what can I do now? I know it but i'm not sure!
If you want to help me, do not hesitate.
You cant install custom ROMs without unlockng bootloader
After unlocking you have to flash a custom recovery and your ready to install custom ROMs

I made a mistake. But luckily there are friendly people who make constructive comments, which helps us.
Other people believe themselves better and make remarks that do not advance like you.

Actually it was constructive. If you had read the guide per another poster's advice, you would not have then been back asking how to get out of trouble because you chose to ignore the given advice!
There is plenty of good help given and offered on XDA, but it's the people who ignore the help/advice, forge ahead blindly, then expect the forum members to fix their screw ups because now they suddenly choose to listen to the advice who really make it difficult to keep a positive attitude.
Nuff said!

So if we follow the reasoning.
Read the post. And if you're wrong, too bad for you.
it is a beautiful spirit.
I prefer to say "to err is human" but we are here to help. The best thing is to learn from mistakes (but I'm sure you've never made a mistake). And I must say thanks to those who helped me. I will not make the same mistake.
I can even help those who have made the same mistake without insulting them.
And the kind of comments like yours do not learn.
Now I think the discussion can't stop there! And as we say at home: "A bonne entendeur salut!"
Galadiel, I don't believe that is what happened here. The way this conversation unfolded, your messages started off asking a philosophical question "Why is it desired to unlock the bootloader?" and very quickly turned into "Help, I tried it but something went wrong." From your description, the specific problem you had is a well-documented issue that is described in the instructional link you were given to read, including how to fix it.
There are a lot of people trying to modify their phones. That's why the tutorials exist. Your posts sounded dismissive of the help offered to you, and not surprisingly, you got some annoyed responses in return.
----------
Okay then. Are you still having the "Failed to boot" screen appear after flashing the .sbf file with RSD Lite? Have you resolved your situation, or do you still need help?

I say again. Thank you everyone for your help. I read all your advice and went to read the posts that you advised. All this was very helpful.
I know it.I have been impatient. And I made a mistake. But I prefer a real help instead of infertile reprimands.
Again: thank you all for your help. Thanks to you I understand why and how.

I will work on my phone this weekend. I will read all items with carefully. Then I will tell you if I passed or not.
And if it does not work I hope you will help me again.
Hi, I will be getting this phone today (i9100 unlocked) and have a couple of questions on how to proceed onwards. Any help would be greatly appreciated
1. What is the best firmware and rooted kernel for me to go on?
I want the absolute simpilest way to root my phone (total beginner) and I don't know what firmware I will have when I receive it, I also don't know if I should stay on a gingerbread firmware or go to ics? I also don't care if it is official or custom as long as I'm not sacraficing stability. If possible I would like a rom that is good for battery life. I also want to root my phone in the safest way. There are so many tutorials I didn't know where to start
2. What are some of the essential rooted apps and how do you install them? Through superuser or market?
3. What are the risks involved with a standard flashing/root because I'm getting my phone second hand I don't have warranty.
Thanks for all your help!
Edit: I just say a sticky saying not to ask what roms are the best so I'm sorry if I broke a rule. I just literally have no idea where to start, I've never even used android before. I've found so many methods of rooting and roms but most seem outdated. I would just like someone to point me in the right direction of the up to date way. Sorry if I'm really not supposed to ask!

Superuser is not used to install apps, you would either download them from the market or manually install the .apks

Rooting your phone would void the warranty anyway and bricking is probably your biggest risk.

Yes. There are dozens, if all you wanted me to do was provide a link to a more comprehensive guide, why don't you just learn how to use Google for yourself?

Most of these guides will contain everything you need to know to get started.

Believe me, I tried, but there are so many options, also, I've now decided to opt for a locked virgin i9100 bcause it was 50 bucks more for a new phone with the warranty, so what's the best way to unlock one? I think I recall a free app.

No
It is impossible to debloat any FTF

You need to look for a debloated zip to flash

So you could just make a debloated zip then after you install it do a full unroot. I mean what's the goal here because there are so many things you can delete it just depends on your needs are. so if I made a debloated zip you would still need root to delete the system apps you don't need so it gets dicey. I can understand the people wanting Lollipop without root. But debloated and no root I don't.
I just want to be rid of all the verizon crap. Root is not important to me any more. If I have to live with the crap so be it.

I am sure. To create the FTF you need the stock blobs downloaded from Sony.
Besides, it much easier to root, debloat then remove root.

Not cool. Eleven thousand posts should at least command a bit of respect. This forum needs all the help and input it can get, so let's not dissuade the more experienced members from helping.
Someone is being really aggressive... especially towards a forum moderator.

Google is your friend. there are already a few threads that have nearly asked the same question.
Plus you have asked this same question basically the same questions multiple times now,with no response. which means either it isn't possible or hasn't been done.
If your device isn't the European version good rule of thumb is not to cross flash hard bricks can result.
I know in the past its not been possible. unless it has changed

It has never stoped me b4 a while ago I unlocked a g4 and flashed recovery all my life I have been told I can't do this can't do that because of the dyslexia also affects my balance I was told I'd never be able too ride a bike but did that didn't get it done until I 10 but did it anyway I find it annoys me when people say that I should be able to do thing.....
Also have had heaps of Samsung's device's.....also had a few g3 with root and recovery and a g flex 2 with root and flashafire with xposed module.....so not a rookie in the android world.
OK, I haven't used a custom ROM for about 8 years! And things seem to have moved on "a bit" since then . I really want to try another rom on this LeMax 2 as the standard one is bloated, and far from intuitive. So, is there an easy to follow how-to? I keep seeing references to "twrp"? What is it and do I need it?
