Don't make a difference if boot loader is not unlockable

At the moment correct, unless you have a 900A without kitkat

DAMN...even if I dont care about the warranty and stuff, I am stuck with the ATT firmware until the boot loader is unlocked. Question #2, is there a way to downgrade to remove kit kat. or should I just wait? I really want to thank you for your help.

Correct, either trade, sell to a tmobile
Use safestrap, you can do custom roms.

I own a GNex from Vodaphone Spain and all I want to do is network unlock it but keep it as close to factory status as possible. If I flash the official 4.1.1 image from google, will I still get OTA updates?

So I would have officially done nothing since I'm already running on 4.1.1 right?

Flashing a ROM, bootloader, recovery, or even a new radio won't network unlock your device. The files responsible for the locking of the network reside in a different partition (called EFS), that can't be modified by flashing something. It needs a different hacking of which I personally don't know anything

Yes but I need a rooted rom in order to access that partition. I have unlocked phones before. But, in lieu of what you're saying. Theoretically speaking, if I were to unlock the bootloader, flash a rooted rom, network unlock the phone, and the restore it to factory settings with google's image, the network unlock should still be in place shouldn't it? And I should get my OTA updates.

hi sorry for noob question.
i rooted my phone a while ago, and i think i remember unlocking bootloader but im not sure. i DO have TWRP recovery, does that mean that i had to unlock my bootloader to get it; thus it is unlocked?
thanks!

Since u r rooted and already have custom recovery flashed,there's no need to do anything else..u can now flash custom rom of ur need via recovery.
International Samsung devices have an unlocked bootloader when you buy it.
So it's necesseray but already done by the manufacturer.
Is there any way to unlock the bootloader on stock 4.4?

Unlock it like to use it what any carrier or what gotta be more specific cuz its already kinda unlocked to flash whatever you want
The locked bootloader is an HTC thing.
^^^^^ thinks you mean carrier unlock to use on another network, or do you mean root access to install software and tweak your system?

Sorry if I come off as a bit if an idiot, never messed with Samsung stuff before. I want to install a custom ROM, and I've tried using ODIN to install CWM but it doesn't seem to be sticking, it just keeps booting into the stock recovery.

Did you root your phone yet?

Nope.
You aren't coming across as an idiot.
I recommend TWRP, installed thru odin. You don't by chance have a Canadian phone? It has an "m" at the end of the model.
As soon as Odin shows 'pass' disconnect the phone and pull the battery before the phone reboots. Then put in the battery and boot.
Cannot seem to install custom recovery. Rooted and I THINK bootloader is unlocked.
Hi everyone, I'm in dire need of help.
I believe my bootloader is unlocked and I'm rooted using the one click method. But no matter what I do I can't seem to get a custom recovery installed. Please help me and advise me on what to do.

After you unlock your bootloader the splashscreen when booting has a WHITE background, not black. Unless you have seen and replaced the splashscreen then you haven't unlocked the bootloader and you can flash until the cows come home but it won't do any good...

Ah you're right. My bootloader isn't flashed after all. And even that isn't possible for some reason, neither the unofficial or official way is working
Oh my God, I don't know how but the official bootloader unlock tool just worked! Victory!

Congrats, just be aware now though that you are without warranty and won't be on the OTA list from ASUS...

Even if your bootloader is unlocked, still u will receive OTA updates.
My Z008 is unlocked and rooted. still i receive OTA updates. I just unroot and update the OTA and then re-root.

Official unlock tool or XDA unlock tool?
Once you unlock using ASUS's tool it removes you from the update server or so it has been said...
You can still download from ASUS site and flash through recovery but it generally don't get OTA's...

Hello guys.
I'm really waiting for lg's bootloader unlock support for TWN version, but I got a question about that.
If I root my phone and using flashfy, can I flash CM13 with locked bootloader?
It wouldnt flash it would probably would brick your device and i wouldnt recommend it, Its an unsigned zip so yeah but trying to get safestrap on this thing would be nice
