Hello Dear ALL,

Im worried a way more than litttle ?

What firmware are you on, if your on 2.3.4 you can unlock, root and install custom rom but if you on 2.3.5 bootloader cannot be unlock. You have to use another way. Bootloader will not loose if you do factory reset.sory for my bad english

Rooting+Custom ROM without Unlocking Bootloader?

Hi All
I'm about to buy a carrier Orange (FR) locked Atrix; so please help me to check out:
Can I root (onesuperclick) & install a generic custom rom such 2.3.4 WITHOUT bootloader unlocking (want to keep warranty)?
where can I find this generic 2.3.4 and how to install?
thanks lot
Rooting isn't a problem. You'll need to unlock that bootloader in order to install custom roms though..

Thanks lot for replying. May I install any stock rom Gingerbread (not my own carrier specific one witch is just 2.2!) only by rooting?
All those gingerbread roms are custom roms so no there either I think..
No if your phone isnt unlocked bootloader you can only install your providers ROMs

unlocked P768 bootloader before ?!

Hi all,
I did upgrade the 768 to official jellybean (mexico) and has been since trying to unlock bootloader and root but in vain!
all tools or command I use just restart my phone instead of prompting me to press VOL_UP to unlock. I have read about putting phone on (LG mobile/ charge only) and leaving phone running vid on wifi for 30min, but still I get the same result.
So I am here asking if anyone unlocked the 768 before? What exact steps did u do?
Before anyone asks: yes USB debugging is enabled and drivers are installed.
I hope you can help me! thanks!

Telce Mexico LGP768G V20A kdz isn't unlockable. Try Vietnam LGP768 V20A kdz , you definitely should be able to unlock your bootloader on it.

+1 with both Mexican an Vietnam rom V20A
if you wish to root , you do not require unlocked bootloader.

Look amigo, from what i understand you require to unlock the bootloader only if you want to install custom Roms on your phone and as far as I know there are no such custom Roms for our model p768 because of the 8mp camera, además you dont need to unlock the bootloader to succeed rooting your phone.
I have rooted my phone and did not unlocked bootloader, what i done was reading a lot this 2 guides:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173465 with this one start following instructions from step 0)

Correct you are amigo, but what i have read is that if you install a custom Rom for p760 on our devices p768 the camera will stop working, so many have tried and cuz of that they went back to stock Rom, do you know if that issue has been solved. ?

Guys, do you anyone that has succeded?, have you read about our devices p768!?, the question remains, what is the point of unlocking bootloader if there are no custom Roms for our devices!!??, I havent read or heard from anyone that they have succeded installing a custom rom witho loosing the camera of the phone, are you willing to sacrifice the camera of your devices!?, there is a way to unlock the booloader of our devices ny the way, it involves going to a stock Rom version that allows BL unlocking and then back the the proper version or the custom Rom , but again and again "8 mp" camera will not work, at least thats what i have read here and there.

[Q] Want to jailbreak but dont know if boatloader is already unlocked

Hi everybody.
I just acquiered a note 2 (SCH-i605). And I found that it has been already rooted. I can use non verizon sim whith it. But i dont know if the bootloader is unlocked. I did some researsh but cant find out if there is a relationship between unlocked bootloader and the possibility of using another operator sim. The recovery is stock.
So i want to use "No You Verizon" program from AdamOutler thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272066
There are my questions:
- If the bootloader was already unlocked, will using the "No You Verizon" brick the device or cause any problem?
-The current android version on the device is 4.1.1 . After jailbreak, root, recovery with "No You Verizon" can i directly flash any custom rom (like AOKP kitkat or an AOSP 4.2 custom rom ....) without any workaround?
-If i do so (flashing a custom rom), will bootloader still unlocked?
Ps: My understanding is that to be able to unlock the bootloader i should stick to version 4.1.1 up to 4.2 .... of stock touchwise firmware. If i flash the stock 4.3 i wont be able to unlock the bootloader. im i right?
Thank you and sorry for my english.
I find my answers
Well, i think i find my answers. Maybe it will help someone else.
1- If i flash 4.3 OTA i will have a locked bootloader (forever or use safestrap)
2- To jailbreak, according to the version of my firmware i will use the corresponding Casual program from Adams casual thread
3- After jailbreaking, rooting, installing custom recovery i can flash any custom rom (directly in recovery, not with odin)
4- Depending on the custom rom i will need to update the firmware
Usefull threads are in Verizon Galaxy Note II Android Development section.

can installing stock rom in an unlocked phone lock it again

..I was already told by a friend in xda group that if I again flash a stock rom in my sm-900p phone which I got unlocked for international GSM use (using from India) , it won't get locked again ...with all due respect to the friend who affirmed me already that it won't get locked ,can anyone else confirm that to me please ? I am not able to dare to flash the stock rom....since two days I am just waiting to take that step..presently I am using darkwolf rom but I want to flash with stock rom so that bootloader and modem gets updated and then on that version,I will flash this rom again ..that's my plan
It will not relock for international use. If it does for some reason, you can use Galaxy Tools to unlock again, assuming you root. But if it was originally unlocked either officially with Sprint or via root + Galaxy Tools, then it won't relock. If you were in the US, you would have to change some other settings to re-enable domestic unlock but international sticks.

Question How to flash Indonesian recovery rom without unlocking bootloader on global rom ?

I am currently on 13.0.2.0 SKEINXM and i hate global rom , I want miui dialer and messages app to come pre-installed , so I found that Indonesian rom has miui dialer and messages pre installed , so how do I flash Indonesian rom on top of my global rom without unlocking bootloader ?
I found a video on YouTube that is flashing Indonesian rom on global without rooting .
Here is the link -
I don't think there is a way to flash roms without unlocking the bootloader. You need it unlocked for the adb and the fastboot commands to work.
There is a way to install through the ota update system, but I'm not sure how stable or safe it really is.
Why do you not want to unlock the bootloader? You don't need to have a rooted phone for flashing roms, rooting and unlocking the bootloader are 2 seperate things.
For warranty reasons if you really want to have a locked bootloader, you can unlock it and then flash and then lock it back again.
