currently have a Unlocked Wing and i'm using with AT&T.
I want to update my rom to the latest one, which I just download from Tmobile, but I was wondering if i update the rom, well the phone be locked to tmobile agian?
Sorry i'm a noob at this, but i'm learning ..
i wouldn't think so. the lock is held by the IMEI, which you gave when you unlocked your phone
But why update with tmobile when you can flash one of our custom roms
Thanks for the info..

There's the breakdown of each rom. There are a lot of options out there. Yeah, I would stay away from the stock rom. The cooked roms give you a lot better performance.

When it is rooted, you can start changing your ROM.
Greetz
After rooting the phone you can install "NSCollab-1.0.50"
build # GWK74...which the only rom so far working perfectly on this model....
I also have tried several roms ....non or the Nexus S rom working on this....several Nexus s 4g are being installed but the problem is baseband...u will get no reception...
No. Re read and learn what you're doing first. If there is a step you don't get ask in q and a.
And roms where fine for the gsm models. And you don't need root access to flash a rom. Just unlocked bootloader and custom recovery.
If your intention is to flash a different rom from stock there is no need to bother rooting stock rom.
Hi all, have found alot of information but im still stuck...
Purchased my SGS 2 on the weekend from Optus AUSTRALIA, and typically it is loaded with optus bloatware. I would like to flash a stock rom onto it that has no other crap. Not interested in custom roms at this stage until more development has been made.
Have found a list of all the roms but i just need to choose the right one.
My Info:
Carrier: Telstra AUSTRALIA
Phone Baseband Version: I19100XXKE4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I19100XWKE7-CL215725
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
Cheers
If you're wanting to get rid of the bloatware can't you just remove it using titanium back up? As for roms, if you're wanting a stock rom I'd say XXKG6 is probably your best bet?

Thanks for that, I was thinking of using the KG6, have it sitting here waiting to flash. I just need to find a telstra CSC that will go with it.... Any ideas?
The package i have is...
PDA:XXKG6| PHONE: XXKG6| CSC:XEUKD1
Will this be alright if i change the CSC?
Thanks
Sorry mate I couldn't tell you. Probably best to go to the XXKG6 thread and ask there. Good luck. If you decide you want to try any customer roms in the future try Lite'ning 4.2. I've switched to that and can't recommend it highly enough. ALOT faster than stock
Can i ask something stupid? I am a newbie in android phone and when i bought s2 i flashed it without backup the stock rom, now i m using lite'nin rom v1.05..it occasionally crush down..i wan to restore to stock rom, can I? thanks a lot for your help first...thanks thanks
Hi im a bit of a noob when it comes too this flashing business but i managed to update my i9505 to lollipop using odin and the official stock rom but the problem i have now is my network signal is now terrible where it was good before is ther anyway that a noob like me can fix this issue? Im in uk on giffgaff (o2)
i have never rooted my s4 before and if some one has a noob guide for rooting from lollipop so i can custom rom it up i might give that a look too, I wouldnt mind a nice slim custom rom with a few extra tweeks and without all the google and samsung rubbish that comes standard..
Thanks
P.s sorry for all the questions and sorry if this is in the wrong section
The signal problem is probably caused by the modem.
You have to flash the latest modem for your phone, country and carrier.
If you already are on the latest modem then a lollipop modem might help.
Here you can find a guide on how to root lollipop.
If you want a slim rom you better try CM12 or GPE. If you like touchwiz then look for a touchwiz based lollipop rom around the forum.

Is your phone branded or unlocked? Coz this is very important. UK(O2) still without lollipop update. This is the possible reason that you are receiving weak network signal.

I'm also experiencing someone what of the same problem I've rooted/Un rooted a couple times, I'm back at a stock version and it seems to be ok.
Hey guys i want to install a custom rom for my t00j-d. I searched about unlocking bootloader and things like that but i couldnt find something useful. First off all i have latest stock rom (lolipop) and its not rooted so do i have to root my device first then unlock bootloader then flash rom? And which rom is good at the moment? My priorities are battery life > performance > visual.
thanks for reading and answers

you can root zenfone without unlocking bootloader and if you wont flash rom backup your imei using terminal and then system using twrp or another recovery

i have been looking around and can not find any info on what i want to do. so i am just going to ask and see if anyone can help. hope ive come to the right place.
about a year ago i purchased a blu studio 6.0 hd(d651u). it came stock with kk(4.2.2 i believe. can confirm if needed.) i pulled the stock firmware using droid tool. so i do have the original rom and scatter file. the lollipop update was available so i updated. afterwards i ran the updated rom through SuperRs rom kitchen, rooted, de-odexed, debloated... afterwards when i was theming the apks and was almost satisfied, i dropped the phone and it broke.. so i purchased another one. same make same model(d651u). only thing i see any different is that this new one came stock with the same lollipop rom that my old phone had updated to. so my question is this. can i use the stock rom and scatter file that i got from my original device to restore the device i have now in case anything goes wrong. im trying to find out if i can safely skip the whole rom pull step and jump right into getting my custom rom onto my NEW phone. i know i can use my old rom, i just wonder if i would be able to restore a brick with my original rom pull because they are the same device, just manufactured at different times. any feed back would be GREATLY appreciated. thank you

no, you should not use the backup from another phone to restore your new one. and you should post in the section for blu studioinstead of here, the info you get here might be inaccurate
Hi guys,
I see several Roms in the Rom Section that require to flash a new Bootloader and Modem.
I can't find any explanation why this is needed or what it changes.
Afterr flashing those. Is it than necesarry to reflash stock if you want to try another Rom.
Would be glad if someone could please elaborate on this topic a little bit.
Thanks

But before flashing anything make sure your device version is supported by the rom. I am in canada and have a w8 version device, not all roms support this device.
You need a new bootloader and modem, if you are upgrading to marshmallow or adding a custom rom. As the older roms do not support 6.0.1 and custom roms have a base from a different device (usual F series of the international devices). You would then reflash the bootloader and modem for your particular version if recommend by the rom developer to take advantage of certain features like radio (modem), volte if supported. It also depending on where you are reads your sim card and imei correctly.
no you do not need to back to stock to flash another rom just follow the rom developers installation instructions. If you have any questions, it is usually best to post in the rom thread as developer or someone who is very familiar with that particular rom can get the help you need.
