What does it mean when he says Roms Locked / Unlocked?
Do you have to do with the GSM radio?

if bootloader is unlocked you flash the unlocked rom
if your bootloader is locked then you flash the bootstrap locked version

I wouls like to install ICS or JB on my Photon.
However, it is 2.3.5 locked BL.
Any version that works with that ?
Thanks
It can't happen. With a locked bootloader you can only use the stock kernel.
why ? My friend have a DROID 3 running ICS

until an unlocked bootloader is leaked from motorola or someone can find a work around. you will never be able to flash anything other than a stock rom. i think everyone has given up on unlocking the bootloader. the electrify has had a locked bootloader for a year and still nothing. so don't expect anything soon if ever. sorry. :crying:

Flashing a rom or RUU won't remove s-off, as long as it's s-off, doesn't matter if the bootloader is locked or not.

I don't know of any way to lock the sim, I'll have to leave it up to the GSM experts to answer.
I suggest you update your subject with that question instead of just a Q...
The Rezound does not have SIM lock... Never did. no amount of flashing anything will lock it.

Google "android safestrap", it should point you in the right direction. What are GSM ROMS?
