[Q] Where/How do i start?

Dear all,
I just bought myself a Galaxy S. It is locked to Bouygues in France and with Android 2.2.
I am totally new to these devices and i would like to unlock it and also to get Android 2.3 on it.
How should i start? (first unlock, then update the ROM, or get a ROM from xda - I used to do that with a Qtek...)
Please advise.
Thanks

Welcome to the SGS forums, I would recommend you read the stickies at the top of this forum first.
If you look in the Apps section I think there is an app that will let you unlock for free (think it's on the android market too).

May I also say welcome, but would also like to point out that this question should be in q & &, please read the forum rules and FAQ's then you will be better equipped to proceed, I hope all goes well

Stuart, I would not doubt it. I got tons of pop up windows and a virus on my PC from that Sammobile site! They even took the liberty of installing software that overrode my browser. Ugh. Sammobile links really should be deleted form XDA. Just sayin'...

[Q] Looking for freedom. Eish. Rom. :)

Good day.
I must say I am a bit shy to post a question here. Usually i stick to the moderator rules and read, read and read before I even think of posting. But I did that and was very unsuccesful. So being a noob on Android rooting/flashing/rom(ing) I have no choice to take all my heart and ask you guys my question. Please bare with me if its stupid.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab S SM-T705 in Egypt (LTE and WIFI). I rooted it (CF) and flashed the recovery (TWRP). I would like to install (any newer version really) of Cyanogen ROM. But I cannot find a suitable edition. Instead I am reading news about the project being abandoned and so on. So - does anybody know how to help please? Or am I gonna be stuck with this TW forever?
Appreciate your help!
Cheerio

What you want to know is whether or not it will WORK !! Good Question. Short answer - probably not completely but finding out what doesn't is the first step towards how to figure out the build that will. If you have plenty of good backups, awareness of how to get back to where you started from if it doesn't, and a willingness to hit the button, there is one sure way to find out. Let us know :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

I don't have this device but, the following area of the forum is specific to your device and if it's developed for your device, then it should be there.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s
With that stated...
The following is just one (there may be more) thread is an Unofficial LineageOS 14.1 that's specific to your device. Don't be afraid to ask for some member guidance within it if needed.

I don't have this device and i performed a quick search regarding it and had found the following...
This device is known (in one form or another) as the "Alcatel 3 Dual SIM LTE EMEA 5052D".
I also had found out the following, that's a great lead as to another way for a possible TWRP Recovery for this device.
This device has a "MediaTek MT6739" Chipset within it and, though there's sporadic information on the forum regarding this device by Make and Model, there's definitely another route you can go.
Try searching for information including (but, not limited to) TWRP for "MT6739", "MT67xx" and even simply "Mediatek Devices". Just be sure that the your positive, just by asking within said thread, that it's compatible for devices with the MT6739 OR MT67xx.
FYI... MT67xx = All Mediatek Variants that begin with "MT67".
The following threads are just some possibilities for you and, if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask for some member guidance within one of them too.

There's others out there but, these should give you a good start... :thumbup:
Good Luck!

Thank you very much!

MTKdroidTools won't see my device. "The device isn't revealed". So I can't extract the recovery.img and thus cannot proceed further.
Edit: Ah, I just saw it's not compatible with MT67XX...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490
Too bad. Will look for another way to dump recovery.

MiracleBox doesn't work either. "None usbport, maybe driver not installed". I guess it's because it needs to be done without battery but my battery isn't replaceable...

BTW, bootloader is LOCKED. Should I unlock it?
