Hey all,
I'm totally new to all this and need some help. I have a SGH-T989 galaxy s2 and am trying to use it on At&t towers. I've read a lot about this on the forums and things aren't any clearer. Do I need to sim unlock? Do I need to Flash? Do I need to root? Do I need to do all three? What is the step by step process for doing this? Any help and all help is appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry if I'm posting it in the wrong forum but I'm a newbie with Androids...!!! I'm looking to unlock my GF's T-mobile G2 and install a custom ROM on it. Can somebody please guide me?! I would like to mention that I'm gonna travel out of the country for more than 2 months and leaving on the day after tomorrow. I would like to get it done before I leave so that my GF can stay in touch with me. Also I'm not a newbie in Phones, Computers, Unlocking and Hacking, hence I would be able to follow any guidance if provided step by step.
Would somebody please help me?
Ok I am relatively new to moding my phone. I have an incredible 2 I would like to unlock the bands on and be able to use on ATT. I have searched the threads and I am thoroughly confused. I don't understand all the acronyms and searching all of those is daunting. I have rooted my phone with s-on and unlocked the sim, but don't know where to go from here.
Here are the details on my phone
Kernel
2.6.35.9-g363dc4a
Baseband
20.28w.30.0813u_1.09.01.0722
Android version
2.3.4
Not sure on what other information is needed. But any detailed help will be greatly appreciated. I have read the tbh us gsm thread and several hundred others and cant seem to figure out where i need to go from here.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

I've read your other post asking for a re-lock guide.

I don't know if apply to you, but you need to keep reading.....
Good luck.
Hi, I am a noob at this but after looking around on the net for a day, I'm already confused...
OK, here's the situation, its fairly simple... I bought a brand new Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE i9305 (UK EE) but want to unlock it.
It is running Android 4.1.2 and therefore "The Trick" doesn't work as it is missing the final option...
1) I have therefore read that I can downgrade it to 4.1.1 and then use the trick...
2) or I could "Root" it....
Which of these is most straight forward. I don't mind Rooting it cos I gather it's not THAT risky...
So far, I've downloaded Odin but don't know what to do with it....I also just want to use Stock ROM and don't know where I can get that... there are too many other ROMs to choose so just want to keep it simple.
Please can someone help?? I realise other people may have asked this question before, so therefore if someone could point me in the right direction and show me a simple and easy to follow guide, I would be most grateful.:good:
Many Thanks in advance!

Hey, guys, I am a complete noob when it comes to custom ROMs and a friend recommended this place. I was wondering if you guys could give me a step by step guide on how to root my device and put Cyanogen on it as that is what was recommend to me. It is a UK phone if that has a bearing as well. Sorry you probably had plenty of these threads
