[Q] sony noob. feel stupid...

ok guys i just picked up a play for att. sucks cause i have tmobile and wont get the 3/4g data. im almost always in wifi spots anyway so no big deal.
anyway i have already called att and got the phone sim unlocked. now if i think i understand this correctly this should be the order to follow. if you guys can confirm and provide latest links i would appreciate greatly.
1. sim unlock (done)
2. unlock bootloader (not yet)
3. root (not yet)
4. load rom (not yet)
correct??? did i miss anything? any preferred method on any of these? please advise.
thanks!!!

First of all, if you bought a xperia PLAY, you should probably post in the xperia PLAY forums.
Second of all, questions go in the Q & A forum.
To answer your question, that's pretty much the right order.

well somewhere along the line i bricked the phone.
i was able to install clockwork recovery. i then tried to install a rom. and it froze for well over 30 min. so now all i can get to is the se logo. cant boot into recovery on boot up at all. how do you check to see if you have an unlocked bootloader?
any chance of restarting over? loading the stock rom?

Have you tried to use SE PC companion to restore phone to factory state?
From support start update and click repair phone.
That could bring your phone back to life.

That repair button didn't work?
For img flash you can use flashtool.
You don't need root or anything to use flashtool on your phone.
Just pick correct .ftf for your phone and flash it to the phone.

Do normal firmwares work on at&t's 4G version?

thanks for all the help and suggestions men. this truly is a great site!
i do have some additional questions though. now that im back to square one im pondering trying again OR just rooting so i can remove the bloatware. if i just go the root method what the best way?
thanks!!!

If you were rooted before you don't need to re-root unless you purposely unrooted it. IF you aren't rooted anymore superoneclick or the zergrush(however it's spelled) is the easiest. I'm 99% sure you don't have an unlocked bootloader though, so you have very few options. I'd say re-root if you need to and unlock your bootloader so you can flash flash and flash custom roms like crazy

It got bricked because you didn't unlock your bootloader.
1.Root your phone
2.Install Recovery
3.Unlock Bootloader
4.FINALLY!! you install a rom okay?
I was a noob too so it's okay now I'm a higher class noob.try flashing your ftf again.

well i got the phone back up and running. its now rooted again. i was doing some research. if i understand correctly the att version cannot have the bootloader unlocked. can anyone confirm this?

You need to pay Setool credits in order to unlock the bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader allows you to lose the sin lock as well, so you could have killed two birds with the same stone.

ya i just found the website. seems like thats the one everyone is sent to on this site.
im wondering now that im rooted if i can clean this stock rom up enough to use on a daily basis. i mean im using tmobile on the device so sharing internet would only be edge lol. i guess the only thing i really want ics for is that fact that its ics.

open the dial pad and use this code*#*#7378423#*#* . Then go to -> "Service Info" -> "Configuration".
If it says unlock bootloader = no, then you have to use the paid service, if yes, then you can do it for free yourself.

[Q] Upgrading an Unlocked AT&T Samsung Galaxy SIII

I sincerely apologize if this has been asked before. However, after lots of searching, I have been unable to find an answer anywhere.
I am more experienced with iDevices as opposed to Android. With Apple products, as long as the device is not factory unlocked, every time the firmware is flashed, the unlock process will need to be redone.
So, I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 which is unlocked via an unlock code, and I use it in the Caribbean. I'd like to update to the latest firmware (4.0.4 > 4.1.1) using Samsung Kies, on my desktop. Before I do so, I'd like to know will the phone remain unlocked after flashing the new firmware? Or will I need to unlock once again?
I apologize if this is a stupid question, but I'd just like to be precautious. Thanks for any help in advance.
P.S. My device is rooted. Will this affect the update?

I don't think the update will effect the unblocking....
But why update thru kies when the stock/rooted rooms are found here too??
Kies will have issues updating if your device is rooted.... So just flash the stock rooted images, via Odin program, here on XDA.
Here are the stock/rooted 4.1.1 ROMs with Odin program as well:

+1 it will stil remains unlocked

Thanks a lot guys. Appreciate the answers.

Sorry for the double post. However, just updating that I just successfully updated to a fresh install of 4.1.1 from 4.0.4, and my unlock is indeed still intact. So, anyone else who is a n00b like myself, and is worried of the same thing when updating, don't be.

Hello. I am new to samsung. It came from At&t and i unlocked it here in the philippines. And as ive checked the software it is still 4.0 and since i want to update the software it only says communication failed. May i ask if is it possible to update my s3 to the latest version? Im really desperate Thank yooooou.

A phone can be relocked once an unlock code has been entered but this only happens if the phone undergoes a repair and the IMEI is changed.
Also, just to calrify as the original responder has mentioned "blocking". A blocked phone is very different to one that is locked. This might confuse people but just to confirm, if you have a blocked phone, unlocking it won't help. A block is done at network level and stops the phone connecting to any network to make or receive a phone call. A lock is at phone level and simply limits the phone to working on one network only. A lock can be switched from on to off to allow it to work on all networks but a block can only be removed by the networks.

[Q] URGENT HELP!!!!! Unlocking T-Mobile S4 for International Use

I´ve followed several different threads, stating to use *#0011# and other variants, but none of them are currently working.
I´ve tried using *#0011#, Menu, Back, Menu, 1 and it just stays there. And trying to use *#27663368378# does nothing whatsoever. I´m really stumped and I´m currently back in Colombia so I need to be able to use this phone ASAP!!!
The phone IS rooted, but it has a stock ROM and I´m running 4.3.
Please help!

Have you tried RegionLockAway app? Outside of that you could try buying a code online.

I have never heard of it. I will try that for sure.
The thing with the online code is that my CC has no money because I withdrew everything since I won´t be needing to use it at all since I won´t be going back to the US.

Most areas have private phone centers that can usually unlock phones for you.

If your phone came with 4.3 already installed from T-Mobile or you took the official ota then you are out of luck as far as downgrading is concerned. Are yu any of tthose? if so, you will have to buy an unlock code from an online unlocker like FastGSM

[SM-T837V][Combo Firmware and Stock Firmware Files]

Hello Folks!
As soon as I got the tablet I spent a good few hours looking around for the combo firmware to start looking for exploits so figured I would provide you guys with a link to the firmware for free
It was quite funny actually, after I soft bricked and got stuck in a boot loop I realized I couldn't find any stock firmware anywhere either haha, so I spent a few hours looking for that as well.
I have the Verizon variant, I am not sure if it will work on other USA variants or not as I have no way of trying. With that being said, below will be the links. I will provide a rev1 combination firmware and a rev1 stock firmware as well as a link to a modified ODIN for easy flashing!
And with all that being said, the combo firm is good to bypass FRP. You can enable the oem unlock switch but other than removing FRP it is useless as of right now. You can however, mix and match the firmware unlike my S9+. I am currently on stock firmware with a permissive boot.img for example.
If you got questions or need help, well, you probably shouldn't be downloading anything or flashing haha. But I will try to help when I have time. I do not have any current plans to keep this thread going with updated filese as I had to pay for these. If I can find em free moving forward I will re-upload if I can but I typically stay on the lowest rev/firmware I can until I find a root method
T837VVRU1ARG4 COMBINATION FIRMWARE/FACTORY BINARY
T837VVRU1ARGG STOCK FIRMWARE
MODDED ODIN v3.13.1
If you feel like buying me a beer...​

What is the main benefit of this?

In the q&a section someone wrote it is readily rootable with Magisk. Is that not the case?

@elliwigy
Is there any firmware for the unlocked LTE snapdragon. I got the Verizon version but it's not playing nice with AT&T. Any ideas? Maybe flashing the unlocked firmware would help.

I think it's just the tablet, my Verizon one isn't playing nice with my Verizon service. Constantly not switch towers and losing service when full service is available. Or it's a tower problem but my note8 doesn't do it when my tablet does

Thanks for this, have been looking for a couple days for the build.prop file.

OEM Unlock
I have the T837V and would like to ODIN flash your files, but as you know there is no OEM unlock in the Developer Options on this tablet. Are you saying that you can flash these files without enabling the OEM unlocking?
I would like to install TWRP, but I believe this is not possible without enabling the OEM unlock. Do you know if this is true?
Thanks

I am currently working on a root method with the N9 but it should also work on Tab S4 once all is said and done. I actually found the exploit I use on the Tab S4 originally before I started workin the N9. Nothing is released yet as so far have only gained root on S9 Exynos and I am currently super bricked and waiting for a device replacement lol
Flashing other carrier firmware won't help you unlock any bootloaders or anything nor will it necessarily help you root. Only benefit I can see really in flashing other carrier firmware is say if you have an sim unlocked tablet (we'll say it's a Verizon tablet) and you want to use it on say Sprint. You can flash the Sprint software in ODIN and everything should work. It would be like you purchased the tablet from Sprint essentially.

Hi. I have the metro pcs variant 10e. Our oem unlocking in developer options has been hidden/disabled/missing. Is the a10f the same as far as my metro variant?

This is my 1st A series device

even if its the same you cant unlock the bl or root as its a usa variant and its not allowed.
the yellow symbol you see is normal.. its an indicator for the charging i believe to indicate slow charging for example

That's because you spelled it wrong bro lol.. it also doesn't do anything unfortunately and reverts after you reboot the device.
You cannot downgrade.. most time even on unlocked bl's downgrading is not allowed.
If you mean you found a lower firmware on same rev that's a different story. You get sha error because you need a modified odin that has the sha checks disabled.. or you can use something like chimera tool

Yes there are many patched Odin's but not a patched 3.14 version. My device will not work with any odin lower than 3.14

Unfortunately I cant afford any tool like that. I've tried crack versions that dont require box or card but none of them are current cracks.

it does/doesnrt.. u cant just flash combo firm to the device, it also has nothing to do with odin or chimera.. samsung implemented security so combo firm cannot b flashed unless you have a token for it.. without it u can only flash stock firmware.. if u got acombo token tho then yes, chimera at that point could flash combo no problem
