Also Sony xperia series have locked bootloader. Galaxy s doesn't. If uvr rooted you have to flash a recovery so you can flash the rom you want it.

What about nexus phones

If I'm not wrong Nexus phones are made by samsung. So I don't think they are bootloader locked. Someone correct me if i am wrong.

My nexus S had bootloader locked but it was a simple 1 minute process to unlock it.

Kernals

What kernal can I install with a locked bootloader r800x?
Thanks

You can't install a custom kernel with a locked bootloader afaik.

The only viable kernel for the R800x is Doomkernel.

Locked boot loader = no kernels. Fortunately, unlocking is fast and free. Go do it.

Yes correct, but unfortunately Verizon is such an A$$ and locks the boot loaders on their devices:crying:
Good thing we don't have to deal with that crap.:fingers-crossed:

Could the phone work with Bell?

I have a galaxy s3 with videotron and im trying to sell it but the guy has a contract with Bell can i unlock it and how?
My s3 is rooted and has cm10 flashed.

I believe the unlock thread is in the General section.
Check what frequencies both carriers use, and if they match up it should work.

Bell uses different frequencies than videotron. I think voice will work, but not data.

With a little work it might, keep in mind they are bound to the CDMA network....
