Hello everyone!
I wanted to know if there is a way to unlock the 4g lte on my phone. I live in europe which means the 4g is locked. My phone is currently running WizCyan and its rooted obv, but i don't have a custom bootloader since when i got the phone it was already in Lolipop . If you know a way, please let me know.
Cheers.

I have seen a Bootloader Unlock floating around for the 10.1v, is there such a thing specifically for the 10.1 US WIFI model?
Haven't seen anything on it yet but I've been happy with what I can do so far with a locked bootloader.
Yeah, I have a locked retail as well. I don't think you need an unlocked one unless you're a dev.
Im newbie to GT i was wondering which Tab i have its the US WIFI only i dont know which process to use to root my Tab 10.1 or 10.1v and is there a root method for the US wifi only?

I "had" and unlocked one until the 11MB update the other day so I wanted to ask if anyone had/knew of an valid Bootloader for the US WIFI model. It's an option I wanted to have to put back in place if the update existed.
My friend has an Atrix 4g from At&t and he has it unlocked for use with tmobile. It's firmware is still on 2.2.2. If He updates it will the phone still be able to be used on tmobile?
Hi im new to atrix (but not to new to custom rom) .
Im having a little hard time to understand something about used phones
1). I know that my phone is sim unlocked because the phones logo is ATT and im from mexico using TELCEL. Does that means i can still recive the upcoming ICS upgrade and my unlocked sim will still be there? or do i have to reunlock it again?
2). Is there a way to tell if the bootloader has been unlocked? i have root access but dont know if that is normal on the atrix to have it unlocked.
atrix

I don't know about your sim card problem.
Upcoming ICS upgrade? Probably not coming to the Atrix 1... maybe the Atrix 2. If you want ICS on your Atrix 1 you can go here and install a beta version of CM9. It's relatively stable except for the camcorder: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445052
I have an Atrix 1 (with Turl's version). I can tell that my bootloader is unlocked because at the startup Motorola screen with the red circle, it says "Unlocked" at the top.
Hope that helps.

Is Atrix 1 = Atrix 4g?
Does the weptop works with that rom? Im having a hard time trying to find out what to do next (to have a custom rom)

Oh wow. My mistake, it looks like we're getting an upgrade to ICS after all (knock on wood). I was just being pessimistic. Let's hope it arrives on time.
Yeah Atrix 1 = Atrix 4g.
I don't have the webtop so I don't know, but I am going to guess that it doesn't work. You probably want to look that up yourself though.
Hey guys!
I have some questions about this phone:
-If the GSM comes factory locked for other countries, can it be unlocked?
-Do Photon roms work on the electrify? (unlocked bootloader)
-Do all Photons/electrifies are Gsm built? I have an ebay seller saying electrify is not a GSM phone...
I'm planning on buying a unlocked bootloader photon/electrify, or one with 2.34 so I can unlock it myself!
Regards

gsm is not locked for any country outside of the US.
the electrify and the photon are the same phone (minus 4g) so of course the roms work.
it is a gsm phone. but it won't work on US networks. (unless you flash a new radio to an unlocked device, if you're a n00b and never have done this before, it's not recommended unless you don't care about messing up the phone)
also the electrify cannot be unlocked for GSM use in the US. photon can though.

About the lack of 4G on the electrify, is that a hardware or software limitation?
thx

If you want to unlock you bootloader and go with the Photon, make sure it has Android 2.3.4 on it. I just bought one used and it came with 2.3.5 which cannot be unlocked apparently.

Thanks for your comment!
Unfortunatelly I did buy one with a locked bootloader on ebay.
Will sell the one I have right now and buy another mopho with unlocked bootloader.
Or maybe just get another phone!
Now I just wounder if with a specific radio, we can get 4G on the electrify.
Hi guys, since upgrading to a stock ATT M8 (from a rooted ATT M7) on December, I have wanted to do the Lollipop update, but I do not want to risk the phone by rooting it (maybe I could do it on a last case scenario). ATT recently pushed the OTA update to the M8, but mine is unlocked, and I'm currently using it on Claro PR, so when I check for updates it gives me nothing. So here goes my question, can I manually download and push the ATT update from HTC to the M8 (as it is on stock kit kat)? My only doubt is that since it's unlocked, could it brick during the process, or would it be alright? Thanks in advance!

Is it SIM unlocked or unlocked from HTC? Unlocked from HTC means it has no carrier branding/bloatware and can be used on any network, compared to SIM unlocked where its just an AT&T phone with AT&T apps and branding that is SIM unlocked. If its unlocked from HTC you could just use an RUU to update. If its SIM unlocked from AT&T you could use an RUU but I'm unaware if that would then break the SIM unlock.
