Unlocking is an extremely risky process which touches your efs folder. Your IMEI can be wiped if you do a wrong step and that's the end of your road in the android conquest. Many of us have fallen to the enticing prospect of unlocking where the phone gets out of the box and poof goes back in again in no time.
SO, until we can backup the IMEI, try not to unlock using unorthodox methods. It may work for some, but for most of you you'll be left with ****ty phones because you can't read and follow instructions. So until then, please don't post "bricked mai phone help plz" because if it was because of unlocking, we may not be able to help you.
Lastly, USE THE SEARCH TOOL. AIN'T THERE FOR NOTHING! Cheers, all you sad faces.
Can I put this in my newbie guide ? XD I'll do it later

Because you require the driver files to let it be used as a mass storage, it's been mentioned before, I would suggest not using a company laptop that has it's user privileges restricted. A little searching and reading will come a long way
I understood you and thanks a lot but How can I install this drivers? Should I install it to my tab or my pc?

You need to enable MTP mode on the tablet for it to detect the tablet.
Settings-Storage-Top right corner will be 3 dots, Tap it and enable MTP mode.
I've a problem.. There isn't a choice is called 'Storage' on my tab

I just PM'd you but found my way back here...
In settings under storage I can only view what is using what and how much of what is being used. No other options are available from there.
Edit: missed the second question again... yes just got it the 29th I think, it is only $0.99 in the market right now 50% off. Seems to work great with only a couple settings programming errors like setting for starting in favorites starts me in latest but setting to start in PMs starts me in favorites (subscribed threads), I used XDA Premium but got a refund when 90% of links I tried failed and other things. Went to using tapatalk full version I got free from getjar, but it expired one morning and when searching why I found hd. Was happy to send .99 to xda. so far no problems with links or anything else. I did have to get used to the layout being different again, but it was worth it. Kinda ICS like I think in where to find things. Also free upgrade when ICS its officially released. can't beat that for.99 oh yeah a few other things if like, such as page numbers and easier access to post smiles, but still cool.
Sorry of topic....
Get back to installing drivers in your toaste.....uh PC.

Not that I'm knowledgeable about myself. I only own a wireless only tab and don't really know for sure what carrier lock means for certain. I would think that it means the company that provides the phone access to your tab, such as verizon, sprint, at&t, or whoever else it could be has locked your device. If you know who the carrier is someone might know how to unlock it, but sometimes they just cannot be unlocked at all. At least from the little I've read, thats my thinking.

But I don't understand how can they lock the download mode to not flash (import) anything into tab.
Sorry but they can. Even if you don't understand.

Sorry for the short one liners Mod's don't like when the talk deviates and thread "ends up being a longer than it should be"
However that doesn't apply in the bedroom, If you know what I mean
ANYWAYS! yeh carrier locked tablets are those done by major telecom companies to avoid any other carrier being used on the tablet. Like a Verizon's tablet will only accept Verizon's SIM's (Sorry I'm not from UK/US to know that). Most lock it so that if ever you do break their wonderful "terms and conditions" and they revoke the tablet (<a year) from you, it's to ensure that it doesn't void the warranty of the tablet. Since rooting voids it.
Hi everyone,
I'm proud to say that I just bought my first android phone, and it is the ATT LG Optimus G.
I'm used to jail breaking iPhones, but I have a few questions about rooting and unlocking the Optimus G. My Optimus G was recently updated from att, but I don't know what was changed on the device. It asked me to update and I put it off, and then later on it applied the update all by itself. So, now I'm wondering if I can root and unlock my phone using the methods mentioned here.
How can I tell if my phone can still be rooted and unlocked? What firmware number or boot numbers should I be looking for on my phone?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Rhem.
First welcome to android! If I was you and since you never done this before. I would use the device until my return policy is up, or at least til 30 days have past. That way if you have any issues with the device prior to that it a simple return/exchange for you.
If you still want to adventure on then here is the thread you need. Please read up BEFORE attempting this. That way you know what you are doing know what to except if something goes wrong.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006946
Also not being rude but remember to post in the right sections. To make the mods job a lil easier
Also there is unlocking the boot loader to flash ROMs and such. That can be found in the development section.
BUT IF I WAS YOU. I would wait til I know I have a problem free device before I jump in to messing with my phone.....

Wonderful advice bro,
And to help out a little more, the developers put an app in the play store called freegee to only unlock after rooted or you can use the aforementioned thread to unlock using your computer after you root

Hello!
I am in need of assistance. My friends' Galaxy S2 had to be sent to Samsung to be repaired and came back running 4.0.3, the kicker is that the 'check for updates' option is not present in the 'about phone' menu

So your first step was to create a topic rather then simply connecting and checking for update?

Right, before you get on you tech high-horse, I'm trying to help a friend who I see once a week. Sorry for being a friend and going to (in my opinion) the best place for advice in this field. Follow Wheaton's Law - don't be a ****
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
Iucidium you've got 622 posts and 70 thanks, that tells me you both know plenty about android to fix this by yourself and that you make a lot of really **** posts. Asking you not to make stupid threads is not being on a "tech high-horse" as you so quaintly put it, it's to deter lazy people like you from posting any old rubbish questions which anyone with two brain cells could easily work out. Clearly it's not working. Clearly you don't know what a forum is either, so I'll help you out - it's a place where ideas are exchanged. It's most certainely not a place where you can come demanding information from people to make up for your simultaneous lack of intelligence and lack of self confidence to follow through on your ideas.
It's very admirable you're trying to help a friend and there is no need to apoligize for it, but I'm sure he (like the rest of XDA users) would be much happier if you'd not use XDA as your personal answer machine, but use - wait for it - your brain for that!
I guess I broken Wheaton's Law (the law that doesn't really exist, using an internet meme to try and defend yourself is like using a chocolate fireguard in a blaze).
Well said.
Now, he's really gonna update via kies?

After flashing one of the LS8-based ROMs (can't recall which one exactly), I remember seeing an option to "activate software updates". Try looking for the Software Update in the App drawer -- is it there, can you launch it?
On an unrelated topic -- what is it with all the recent threads about something happening with people's friends all of a sudden? "My friend did something, need help"... "My friend's phone is screwed up"... "My friend damaged my phone"... Is it just me, or what?
