[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.

[Q] Want to unlock bootloader on s3 i9300 running 4.3, please help?

New to the whole rooting process, want to flash custom roms but don't know how to unlock bootloader (if it isn't already unlocked, I've read that most samsungs have it pre-unlocked but have also read that it is locked on 4.3 and is problematic when trying to unlock)
Search first, there are hundreds of identical questions.
The i9300 doesn't have a locked bootloader, unless it is a Chinese firmware.

[Q] t mobile gs5 rooted and unlocked, will stock rom remove carrier unlocked

hey everyone, I don't post much but I read a lot and I appreciate everyone's work. I have a quick question regarding my tmobile galaxy s5. I bought it and unlocked it to use on AT&T because it has the unlocked bootloader. I installed twirp, remove some bloatware, and it's been great. I want to remove twirp but I believe that flashing the stock rom is the only option. Is this true? I have the stock image and can flash it via Odin I'm just curious as to whether it will remove the carrier unlock. of course I paid for the unlock code and I don't want to do it again. I would like to sell this phone with it being unlocked because that widens the market. so does anyone know how I can unroot this phone other than flashing the stock image, and if that's the only way after I do it will the carrier unlock still be there?

You will keep the unlock. You can easily find the stock recovery files as well. That way you don't lose all of your stuff with a full Odin flash.

Redmi Note 3 Pro Special Edition ROM

Hey guys,
I just bought an Redmi Note 3 Pro SE and i wanted to know is there any way to get root, Cyanogenmod ?
I am new here so sorry if it is already asked
You are able to get CM13, however I do not know the method as I do not have the Special Edition.
FIRST you need an unlocked bootloader ant twrp installed. After that you just need to flash cm13 the traditional way and flash RN3 SE modem to get wifi and sim working. If you read a bit you can find this info on the forums and more. You are welcome.
Thanks guys,

official unlock doesnt work. for no one. 99% of the people it stays at 50%.
so u must use the un official way to unlock.
U must wait 7-8 days.After that you may be able to unlock it officially.It took about a week for me to successfully unlock it after receiving unlocking permission.

Xperia M4 Aqua Stock Flash and Recovery

Hello guys!
I have a Sony Xperia M4 Aqua E2303 from Orange with their custom firmware.(Their Apps and start-up logo, etc.)
It is possible to flash the sony stock firmware(marshmallow) to get rid of this custom firmware ?
Also after flashing the stock it is possible to install a custom recovery like TWRP?
If is possible to do those operations ,is there a way to back up the actual firmware in case of possible problems?
Im kinda new to this forum but i want to thanks in advance for your help and advices .
Thanks again and have a good one !
If you bought it from Orange, check that your booloader is unlockable (to do this, type this in the call menu: *#*#7378423#*#* then in Services info, rooting status you can see it)
If it's unlockable, you can flash recovery and root it after you unlock the bootloader (You will lose your DRM keys)
Here is a guide about rooting and unlocking.
With root, you can also remove those apps that you want.
(the guide is made for E2353, idk if the files will work for you...)
Also, here you can find the stock roms.

Thanks for your help buddy.
Unfortunately the bootloader is not unlockable.
But i took the risk and i flashed a stock firmware (E2303,Central Europe 1, 6.0.1) via Flashtool and XperiFirm. I got rid of all orange apps except one which is good ,my free space is around 4gb from those 8gb. Also the phone is more faster in menus and some apps.
I saw a thread here on xda , about rooting and flashing recovery with locked bootloader but need to downgrade to lollipop Here. I do not not know if it is worth the while.
Is there any way to unlock the bootloader even if it says that it can not ? Maybe Sony Support?
Thanks again ! Good Day !
Your welcome, also i sad to hear, that you can't unlock your bootloader Have a nice day
