I have got a UK vodafone x10i, and the question is if i root my phone and flash a new original 2.1 rom, will it be unlocked?
And where i can find original 2.1 rom?
Im not 100% sure, but I think it's not possible to unlock it.
You have to buy a unlock key :S

Phone was recently bought in Canada signed to Rogers. Flashed new firmware onto it, version 4.0.A.2.368. Could Rogers branding it is stopping the bootloader from being unlocked? I assumed that flashing generic firmware onto phone would also debrand phone.
I'm afraid you can't unlock the bootloader because your phone is branded...
Flashing another firmware will not debrand your phone...
maybe you should wait till developers find a solution or debrand your phone(if it's possible).
Ah yes, I had assumed that since it's branded I could not unlock bootloader. Searching around google i found a site that confirmed branded phones needed to be unlocked before bootloader is open.
Devs close thread please.

Sorry for offtopic, but:
Where exactly do I find the official SE bootloader unlock page? And can I revert it to retain the warranty?

Hi guys I have just bought a Motorloa Atrix off ebay that comes unlocked but it is the UK orange model. I have a couple of questions regarding the firmware.
1. Do I have to use the Orange firmware updates if I want to officialy update the phone (for example when the gingerbread update comes out)
2. If it is the case that I do have to use the Orange firmware will it then re-lock my phone back to orange.
3. Is there any way of me installing a debranded firmware on the the phone without bricking it?
Any help would be much appreciated.

1. Yes you do!
2.No it will not!
3. Of course there is! Check my thread to Unlock your bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423
Then head over to the atrix developer forum and choose a ROM to download. I personally recommend Aura or Darkside for starters. But if you like stock android without the Motorola stuff Cyanogenmod is great!
Hi Guys!
I got a new phones wich is Locked to Telenor, i have the .62 Firmware.
And my question is, how can i Root my phone?
hey dude,
you need to unlock your bootloader or flash older version FW.see this thread.
Hi guys!
Thanks in advance for your help on this matter!
I have been patiently waiting for the official ICS update to arrive for my SE NEO (MT15) since way back when. I know O2 publicly announced they weren't going to bother updating but does anyone know if the Orange UK (now EE) will ever update this phone? Its SI is 1253-7641 if that is any help? Sony are no longer updating their thread of SI numbers so all might be lost in the change from SE to Sony and from Orange to EE!!
I have looked at doing this manually but am worried that as my phone is network locked I might brick it. Also in order to use custom ROMs there seems to be some touch-point modification which worries me too! (I might be wrong on these things).
Thanks again for your time!
1st thing you need to Unlock it from the Network, then unlock the boot loader (optional), & then Install the custom Rom whatever ICS ROM you like or even stock one.

Doesn't network unlock require a testpoint procedure? I know bootloader does. I am very hesitant to fiddle with hardware like that.
If information on whether or not Orange (EE) are going to ever produce an update I might wait until my contract runs out in a couple of months and get a new phone!
If you just want to use stock fw, simply flash it with falshtool, no need for SIM unlock or bootloader unlock.
Hello,
I wanna Sim-unlock my phone (galaxy s5) but it's running on cyanogenmod. I know it's not possible to unlock sim with a custom rom but is it possible to unlock the phone if I flash a Stock Rom? And does the rom have to be with original branding?
Greets,
Kenny
EDIT:
No, it's not possible to unlock your phone on a custom firmware. Yes, you have to flash the original firmware with branding by the phone's original carrier then unlock it for all networks. This will work. You can use a custom firmware again after unlocking the phone.
