I've been scanning the site and seen many threads on bootloader unlocking on the atrix but I'm still not sure which method to use! I don't want to be bricking my phone in anyway and I understand about OTA updates from then on, sbf files and so forth. My understanding is that you can not flash a different sbf file to the one I already have! I might have that wrong though. My phones firmware is
System version: 45.31.0.MB860.ORANGE.EN.GB
Android version: 2.3.4
baseband vers: N-01.100.00R
Webttop vers: WT-1.2.0-133-39
Kernel: 2.6.32.9, [email protected]#2
Build: 4.5.2A-74_OLE-31
Using Giffgaff sim at min, phone is not locked to orange.
Any help with a direction to a good tut for unlocking my bootloader would be mint.
I seem to only see guides for AT&T based phones and not uk or more to the point, orange? The last update my phone received as above was ota.
Thanks in advance.

Anybody, Please........
NO help for uk users
Its clear to see that uk users get no help on this forum, I've checked all the links and threads and see its all att&t, I've come across 1 post dated back to 2011 about orange uk atrix bootloader unlock but nothing that is recent or even includes my phones os version, firmware ect. I wonder if I mention that everything on this site is directed to us and not uk will get a response, not the one I'm looking for but still, a nasty reply is better then none. This is what I get for checking in on a us forum. Sweet.
maybe

I'm new to the TYTN and I have a few questions.
Just to note, my device is by Orange-Israel. It has the QTEK_001 CID.
1. If I want only to sim-unlock the device (without installing HardSPL on it or changing anything that will void the warranty, how do I do that?
2. Where can I find the exact change log for any ROM version? I mean, I'd like to know what each version gives my BEFORE I upgrade to it.
3. As my CID is QTEK_001, I understand that I can install all of the HTC WWE versions. why can I find any upgrades on HTC website?
4. If all I want is to install the official HTC versions, why do I need to install the SSPL/HARDSPL (I dont want to install, yet, any cooked/baked ROMs)?
Thanks
Please people, help me out:
How do I unlock the phone without installaing any hacked SPLs?
and where do I get the OFFICIAL HTC updates?

Call your service provider and tell them you need to unlock your phone. Then you won't effect your warranty.
You can't be serious about where to d/l official updates. :-/
From the Official Website!
Also the link below helps me to find answers to a lot lf my questions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298893
Maybe there isn't any official updates yet for Orange-Israel.
I can't help you look right now because I only have my 8525 right now. Maybe tomorrow, when I'm in front of a desktop, I'll see if I can find something.
Heya
Please understand this forum is NOT official support
(however the quality here is probably better )
http://www.orange.co.il/ (your provider)
and
http://www.mea.htc.com/
are probably the best places to ask for rom upgrades.
Good luck

Thanks for your answer.
First, Orange Israel WONT unlock my phone till I finish paying for it (which is 3 more years to go).
Also, they DONT have any updates availble at the moment. But their version is VERY old....
On the HTC website I cant find the ROM updates anywhere.... please send me a link to the ROM updates on HTC website.
Also, do you know where can I get more details about what changed in each version?
Please, if you could please be so kind to read:

Hello, can anyone provide me with a flashable 1.5 or 1.6 official T-mobile's ROM so my warranty returns (as far as the guys in the store are concerned) in case my phone breaks? Thanks in advance.
See HTC's Support Website...
Yes, it asks for my serial number, but when I enter it, it says that the download is not suitable for my device. Possibly because I live in Croatia and I bought the device here?
Have you looked on the stickied link in the dev forum?
Edit: o its been moved, check villainrom forums, they might have these things
IF you give me a moment I am uploading the RUU 1.5 T-Mobile. Give me about 15 minuits or so.

Yup, looked there but they only have the generic ROM, not the T-mobile's one.

My HTC7 has never been upgraded and still stock. I have made a full backup of the phone thanks to the great XDA tutorials & i have networked unlocked it. Im not sure what move to make next and could with some help from the XDA oracles !
What i would like is the RTM mango with Chevron ( if thats possible?)
My current build is>
Network: Orange UK
Model: HTC 7 Mozart PD67100
OS version: 7.0.7004.0
Firmware: 2250.09.12435.061
Hardware: 0004
Radio Software: 5.50.09.18_22.24.50.09U
Radio Hardware: A.102.0.D4
Bootloader: 1.24.2250.35(111169)40
Chip SOC: 2.2.5.0
I was considering updating through Zune first to make sure the firmware ect. was all updated also, and then upgrading the O/S, but these are just thoughts of a noob
I assume by the lack of replies the forum isn't very helpful to new members who need advice. I know i have alot to learn, but i was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
Hi josweet
WP7 is so new that most of use are pretty green ourselves.
Try heading over to the HD7 forum. You may have better luck there...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1217
You say your HD7, yet in the build specs you list a Mozart and this is posted in the Mozart section.
A bit confusing.
I will assume you have a Mozart, if you do not then head over to the correct phone section and try asking there
So if you want to get Mango RTM (Build 7720) onto your phone and unlocked I recently did it myself and its awesome. It's not very hard to do either.
Head over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647
Then put HSPL onto your Mozart, this will allow you to install custom ROMs onto your device.
Once you have HSPL take a look at this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206853
It is a NoDo custom ROM which is already unlocked.
Flash your device with the ROM and then take a look at the guide in the 2nd post over her:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16594869#post16594869
That is what I followed and did, it worked fine. Also make sure to read the threads I have linked you to and remember there is always the small chance you may damage your device and I cannot be held responsible. You do everything at your own risk.
Enjoy, ask if you need more help
Psyclown, thankyou very much for your reply. Sorry i hadnt answered up until now but i had given up on this post and moved to reading all the Q&A.
Your absolutely right, my phone is a HTC7 and NOT an HD7 .. im guessing i was having what my dad refers to as a "senior moment" .
Right, as soon as this kids are back at school and its quiet, im going to sit down and have a good read of those links to posted.. with a little luck ill also get mine upgraded within the week.
I didnt want to just guess at which O/S to install only to find out later i then had to roll back to a previous one in order to allow me to install a custom rom... hence my noob question Thanks again

I purchased the above phone in China 3 weeks ago to use in the USA. Everything is in Chineese, and even when I go to the internet it uses the China internet browser. How do I change the software over to the US version? There is no sim card, and the phone has never been activated.
Android version 4.0.4, Baseline i9300ZNLH3, Kernel 3.0.15-1038370-user, build number IMM76D.I9300ZNBLH3.
if the chineese s3 version is smilar to the international s3 you can use the normal method to flash roms with odin in download mode. use forum search.
check product code backside your s3 behind battery
This is what is behind battery:
GT-I9300
CMIIT ID: 2012CP2597
Yup, the model is i9300 which is the international model, meaning you can just download a stock rom from any English-speaking country and flash it and when you reboot the phone it'll give you the option to set everything up in English.
Unless of course, you bought a counterfeit (China's pretty well known for making them) in which case I wish you the best of luck xD
Cool, I will search the posts and figure out how as I am a newbe and never done that before, Thanks for all the help.
Check out "john4lakers" on youtube. He did a fake s3 video, compare yours.. Hope its not

Follow the instructions on these 2 sites:
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s3/
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-unroot/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s3-i9300/
The first site tells you how to root the phone so you can flash a ROM into it, and the 2nd site tells you how to flash a stock ROM and then unroot the phone in case you don't wanna void the warranty. The site from which you can download the ROM is in the 2nd site
Man, please delete your IMEI, somebody may use it to screw thing up with your phone.
i sent him a pm.. Didnt notice he posted the whole thing.. Need a mod to do it urgently !!!

Got thru the first root process, everything when well. Working on installing the stock firmware. Could not find a US version, downloading one for the Mexico region. Hope that will work. It is downloading now so I can finish the process of installing.
Just finished rooting and un-rooting. I had alittle trouble, but the video helped alot. It was succesful. I installed a Mexico version of the phone to get rid of the China version. My question is, is there a US version avilible? I notice alot of cautions about installing the US or Canada version on this phone, and they are specific to a carrier.
Maybe I am not understanding everything correctly. If I install a custom root, does that do teh same thing? I wanted to get rid of teh country specific icons for China and get to the US ones, and that has happened for the most part. Now the screens and wallpaper are showing the Mexico carriers name.
Sorry if these are basic questions.
This forum is for I9300 International model only .
Firmware that is not for I9300 model will brick your phone .
USA see sticky top of the forum .

Hi,
As I'm new to the area, sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place.
I bought a SII from UK (T-Mobile unlocked) and have been using it in Turkey. Yesterday, as JB wasn't available for T-Mobile UK yet, I downloaded 4.1.2 for Vodafone UK. After installing it, my device began asking network unlock PIN. (I should have downloaded an unbranded ROM, I learned it later.)
I rooted the phone for the first time and tried to unlock it with Galaxy Sim Unlock, but no good. I installed back the 4.0.4 for T-Mobile, but the problem continues.
Now I'm stuck with the phone. Any help, direction, lead to relevant forums would be appreciated. (The ones I searched and read was above my knowledge.)
Here is the screenshot showing the details of the phone.
What can I do without losing the IMEI, etc. information?
Thanks,

btw - did you try all unlocking apps from market??
No, just Galaxy Sim Unlock. All the time, I was reading about similar problems and when I saw about the EFS backup requirement, I stopped trying. And looked for more experienced support, here. I didn't want to mess up IMEI as it would cause lots of trouble.
Sure, it takes time to learn but if it'a phone which serves every communication, time urges. So, will keep on reading and find something.
By the way, as going back to ICS didn't help, I thought it would be better to be on JB if I could unlock the phone. Now I have this on my phone (again unrooted):
Baseband version: I9100XXLS8
Kernel version: 3.0.31-889555
[email protected]#3
...
Build Number
JZ054K.I9100XWLSJ
When I was trying to find a way to root, I saw different kernels but I couldn't understand the exact one I needed. From what I read here: "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399", I have to use a kernel with LSJ. Is it true?

You flashed a branded ROM on an unbranded phone.

i went through the same ordeal! download galaxsim unlock from xda! it worked for me after trying a whole buch of other ones including galaxsim unlock 1.43. good luck!
I'm sure it was a stupid thing to do but give to the long time waiting for JB and getting another ICS. But the phone wasn't unbranded totally, I hated that T-mobile animation on every boot.
Just one thing, as I asked above, can you suggest a kernel to root. I gave the information above and I was confused with the many options to choose among. I'm not sure which one is for me.
Re: [Q] Phone locked after JB
Flash unbranded jb.
If it's still blocked get galaxysim unlock, it's free here at xda.

Solved-thanks.
I solved the problem with the method vanisleryan suggested. I installed unbranded jb as you said. Thanks everyone.
