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.
I am having moto e 1st gen running lollipop 5.0.2 soak test. And yes its damn slow and laggy. I like to install custom roms. But the problem is that my boot loader is locked. I am just wondering ,if I follow the guide that people used to unlock boot loader when they were in kitkat ,ll help me to unlock bootloader with phone running lollipop.
I can simply get back to 4.4.4. and unlock from there but I saw many warnings regarding downgrading from lollipop to kitkat. And also the guides which helps to downgrade ,are contradiction to each other as one guide includes commands for got,motoboot and logo but the other doesn't include that saying it ll hard brick.
I am really confused abt that.
Any help abt boot loader unlocking with lollipop soak test would be welcome.
Thanks.
I am from India , and xt1022 is the only model here in India I believe.

Bootloader unlocking has nothing to do with system version(lollipop or kitkat) and it is permanent. If you unlocked the bootloader while you were in kitkat it is unlocked forever(unless you go to service centre and replace the motherboard) ,whether you update your rom to soak test or any custom lollipop rom. The guide for unlocking bootloader is same regardless of your system version. If you ever decide to downgrade to kikat ,make sure to downgrade to 4.4.4 If you downgrade to 4.4.2 you may brick your device
And follow this guide to downgrade http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/development/downgrade-5-0-x-to-4-4-4-stock-firmware-t3031073

First of all,thanks for replying.
And now my doubt is cleared abt bootloader.
So after bootloader unlocking, I have to root and then flash custom recovery to have custom rom with twrp recovery. ,right ?
Am I missing anything here ?
Will my phone be stuck in bootloop after unlocking boot loader,cos it happens normally in some phones, ?

1)unlock bootloader-->2)flash twrp recovery--->3)*may require* to flash SuperSu to root--->4)Flash custom rom
3rd step may not be required but do it just to be safe.

Unlock officially man, it's the only way to avoid this in the future.
I unlocked unofficially and I have resurrectionrom since 6 months running... I updated to latest version 20170611 by flashing CM14.1_Firmware_kate_12.04.2017.zip and after that the latest ROM zip. I have the ROM running perfectly fine... So why should I flashed stock developer ROM and unlock officially?
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.
