Hello guys, can someone explain me if i can use an old rom with the new bootloader ?
If not, did i need to flash the rom with the newbootloader before or after the update of it ?
Thanks you !
If you upgrade your device to new bootloader you are not be able to boot with old BL ROMs unless you flash old BL(very dangerous can brick your phone) or go back to OOS 2.2.3.
If you are on old BL you need new BL to use new Roms with new BL..BL upgrade is one time process after that you do not need to flash BL again and again.unless you go back to old BL.

i have read for a long time and try some roms who didint say req bootloader unlock but all stops on sonyericsson (bootloop) maybe it is here someone who try and work with a specific rom ...
Maybe they aren't saying that you need unlocked bootloader, but if "kernel" is mentioned, then you need that kernel and kernel flash need unlocked bootloader.
Practically every custom ROM needs it's own kernel, so I'm afraid you'll have to unlock your bootloader.
My manual said that only if defects were caused by custom software, I'd might have to pay for the reparation.
Yes i know but i come from Htc where it was easy (root and redy to install everyting) and now i`m stuck but i don`t give up my garanty for this it maybe later it will apear some roms only with root
tnx all
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.
I need some help here, We (the wife and me) bought two s4's New a year ago and both was MDK, I Rooted and loaded a custom Rom, All was good until a few months ago when I wanted to put a Newer Rom on my phone, I started flashing this Rom and that Rom and then I had this problem! I had loaded a Rom or ????? that Locked my Bootloader and Now I'm unable to Flash Rom's
I'm really a Noob at this I only root my own phones and Need help here So I don't do it again to my wifes phone which Needs to be updated, it's on 4.2.2 MDK She has a New s5 and I'm taking her phone.
(1) Please tell me what I need to know to NOT Lock the Bootloader ???
(2) What is the Newest Debloated Stock vzw Rom Need Wifi Hotspot ??
(3) Steps for Flashing, I want to be sure I'm doing it right......
Thank You for your Help in Advance
Are you sure her s5 is mdk bootloader? The mdk bootloader was on the first released s4.
Essentially once you have a custom rom and and u locked bootloader, never take a verizon ota update. That usually patches known exploits to your phones bootloader and locks it down. What was the last rom you flashed that locked your bootloader?
Also, did you have a custom recovery installed? Can you get back to your custom recovery? If so, you're bootloader is not locked. You will have to wipe your phone clean and flash a new rom.
I will be working on her older phone, the s4 with the MDK bootloader and Now has become mine, Her new phone is the s5 and it's happily Rooted with S-S and a custom Rom.

Can't be done without unlocking bootloader. You can use HTC Sync to update to latest official ROM for your device; it will flash the current ROM from your workstation. Note that doing so will wipe your device.
If you want to run anything other than stock, you need to unlock bootloader. The only way to unlock bootloader is with Sunrise, and that costs $25.
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.
