I'm buying the Atrix tomorrow.
here is what i need to know
I'm paying retail $499 so i can not afford to brick my phone
so need help avoiding this
1) i am unlocking the phone to put on my T-Mobile pre-paid account
what flash and mods will hurt me if i use them ?
2) are there any OTA updates i need to avoid because i will mod this phone OR it will be of no use to me !
3) what is deodexed and do i need it ? (says AT&T only does this mean an AT&T phone or AT&T service (IE: no unlocked phones running on T-Mobiles network?)
thanks
Rick H. (A1yet)

Hi Folks,
purchased a SGS2 while on a trip to india. I'm on Tmobile in the US and got myself a 4G sim only to realize that the phone only allows me to be on GSM.
the guy at the store asked me to root and flash it for 4G speeds.
1. is it possible? and is there roms available?
2. should I just wait it out till US SGS2 comes out next month and install one of them on the phone??
kindly let me know..
i love my phone, unfortunately its not worth paying for 4G if i cant use it!!
thanks for your help in advance..
Ive been recommended to use Cynogen Roms ( not that i know any difference).
any help would be appreciated in advance!
Hello everyone!! First of all, sorry if this has been posted already and please excuse me as I am completely new to the smartphone and android scene!
I do not own a SGSII yet but I am seeking to buy the white version of the phone, which is currently available at Bell. I'm planning to just buy out the phone itself without a contract because I will be going away to the UK in January for about 9 months. I am aware of the fact that Bell has its own firmware, giving it the name i9100m instead of i9100. So, I was wondering if I root and unlock the phone, will I be able to update the firmware and perform all the functions that a generic i9100 would and therefore be able to use the phone in the UK when I move there?
It might be a stupid question but I just thought I'd better be safe than sorry
Thanks in advance!
Yes, it won't be a problem

Yes it will work, whether you want to unlock it for rogers here in Canada or on a carrier in the UK, the process is the same. You can pretty much flash any rom you want, as rooting the bell phone pretty much breaks kies will to update. At least it did for me
Thanks guys! I thought that I had to go through a different process for unlocking and modifications, thanks again for clearing that up I will be on my way to purchase a SGSII very soon
Hey guys. I couldn't get AT&T to unlock my s3 so I downgraded to android 4.1.1 to do the free unlocking method. It worked, but my phone has AT&T apps in it, and when updating it says crap like updating from AT&T server or w/e.
When using ODIN, was I supposed to install the AT&T or the T-Mobile version of the 4.1.1 android?
I figured since it's an at&t phone I have to reinstall the at&t so it doesnt mess up the drivers or anything (I totally made up that conclusion myself).
Also, I don't get 4g LTE now and only get E internet. Do I have to do some settings so the phone cooperates with T-Mobile?
As always, thank you very much for the helping hands.

You're probably going to need to setup the apns for Tmobiles network to work for your phone fully.
It automatically made one called tmobile but I dont know if I have to edit it.
Was I supposed to install android 4.1.1 for at&t or tmobile?

As far as i know you should be fine on the at&t rom, You're just going to need to edit those apns probably.

Well, how about this? I install the T-Mobile rom. Shouldn't that have the proper apns?
Now another question comes to mind. Since this is originally an at&t phone, will installing the T-Mobile rom mess it up?
Anyone? Help plz
I was wondering if anyone else has this variant of the G5, as I have never seen it in any other XDA threads. I got this variant from C Spire (aka Cell South). If anyone else owns this variant, it would be nice to know if there have been any developments with unlocking the bootloader, or if it will work with the T-Mobile unlock (since cspire just piggybacks off of other carriers).
Thanks,
systemCTL
I have this model as well..
I got it about 2 weeks ago from cspire. I would be afraid to try the tmobile unlock on it..my luck it will brick the phone.
