And it is ok to flashing xt1635-2 firmware on xt1635-3, it's gonna brick the phone (xt1635-3)?

I have a limited time to root an arc s and i need few answers please:
1 if the bootloader is locked ,it is any chance to make sim unlock?
2 i already made root but i don.t know how you flash custom kernel or wifi modules(install from zip?)... in which mode should be phone putt? ( i tried with flashtool in fastboot mode and doesn.t rebbot via adb or fastboot)
you can't flash custom kernels or wifi modules with a locked bootloader
you should unlocked the bootloader. it really is easier when you're going to install custom rom or kernel
1.your sim will still be locked
2.unlock bootloader through unlockbootloader(dot)sonymobile(dot)com. you may relock if you want through this method.
How I unlock bootloader? I put the code *#*#78... and say bootloader unlock:no
then the only way is through testpoint. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551494&highlight=bootloader
but this is way risky.
What is your firmware version? .587 can be unlocked as far as i know.

Firmware has nothing to do with the bootloader.
This pretty annoyance me when I found link both sammobile or 4shared or other stuff but end up they all super slow (700MB file but transfer rate 1kb/s). I download and get it but end up .zip file and got failed in Odin(in phone appear unsupported dev_type)
So my question is does anyone here have the right one .tar.md5
in Sammobile I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_ATT.zip (if you can download it for me and upload it back to Mediafire pls....pls I beg you)
or other thing else that could work perfectly.
because I really need it to downgrade my phone so I can unlock sim card.
Thank and big thank in advance
Do not attempt to downgrade your bootloader if you have the 4.3 or higher bootloader. Attempts to downgrade the bootloader can brick your phone.
If you are on the 4.3 or higher bootloader, you will have to buy an unlock code.

Yes. Look around and you will see posts from other owners that attempted the downgrade and bricked their phone.
What bootloader is on your phone?

Sorry guys I'm totally new to this forum, but I too have the NE4 bootloader and was wondering if a Odin downgrade would also brick my phone as well? I want to avoid using Odin because my Microusb port is kind of wonky too. I want to go back to stock because my phone has been acting up, and was hoping to start off fresh. Thanks in advance!
If you have the 4.3 or higher bootloader, do not attempt to downgrade the bootloader or modem to be safe.
I've unlocked my verizon xl's bootloader on the october update and I was wondering if it could be re-locked by any means other than fastboot? like an OTA for example or a ROM flash or an official image flash, etc. Do I have to watch what I flash to my phone or am I safe?

No worries. They can't relock your phone with a software update or upgrade.

Great. Can I inadvertently lock it with a full factory image flash though?

flash stock with Odin, it will lock the bootloader, the knox fuse is definitely blown - if you do it correctly it should not be an issue.
ofc all the risks are in your hands, because you are doing it

flashing stock with odin does not relock the bootloader mate
Is there no option in developer settings?

it is the first step - after that you should enter download mode and choose vol up to LOCK the bootloader
it will erase everything on the phone tho

if the phone is unlocked, that option is greyed out - but to actual lock the boot loader, flash with odin is required

If you have a carrier locked US model there is nothing you can flash in ODIN to unlock the bootloader, as odin packages dont touch the firmware. Best you can do is hope an exploit gets found or return the phone.

Might I ask how you managed to flash a different firmware version? What method did you use to flash the A546U1 firmware?
I ask because from what I understand, the A546U version does not have the option to unlock the bootloader and in order to flash anything at all (including another stock firmware), you must first unlock the bootloader.

You can flash any stock firmware without unlocking the bootloader as long as it's official firmware

And what is the process for doing this?
Flashing another stock firmware, that is?
My objective is to flash an official European version so I can go into dev settings, unlock bootloader, the proceed to flash a custom ROM.

If you're trying to do this on a US variant then it won't work

Do you know the reason behind this?
Because my understanding is that having a locked bootloader is the only thing preventing me from flashing a ROM on my US version (A546U).
What else is preventing me from flashing a stock official firmware on my A656U using the method you're referring to.

Well that's unfortunate. I wonder how the person who made this thread managed to flash the A546U1 firmware on a phone that was originally A546U.

Odin does allow that for some reason since they're both U.S. firmware
