Unlocking Bootloader topic

Hey Guys,

I'm not an expert at this. I recently took my rooted phone to a phone shop and the guy said he could unlock my phone for me for £10.00. He did it, but since then my phone restarts during calls.. I asked the guy to fix it and he said "because my phone is rooted, the kernel was damaged". Now, am i correct in thinking that the kernel can just be re-flashed along with a new rom? I have added custom roms to this phone before but now I cant unlock the boot loader. It won't work in flashtool, it gives me a "your phones bootloader cannot be unlocked". Any ideas?

[Q] Help unlocking S III after 4.3 topic

I have been reading through the forums as much as I can and can't seem to get specific or consistent info. I have a Galaxy S III with Telus, I'm switching to Rogers, don't want to pay their unlock fee. I want to unlock the phone but the 4.3 update is not allowing me to use the option for 4.1.1. And every I look says not to flash a 4.1.1 rom onto 4.3. So how do I a) get back to 4.1.1 or b) unlock 4.3 ? If I could just get a link to the full steps involved that would be great. I'm pretty comfortable with rooting etc. I rotted my Xperia X10 awhile back and that was simple enough. I just can't seem to find an exact answer and don't want to piece it together from several sites. Thanks :)

No cell service with any ROM after unlocking topic

Unlocked and S-OFF Verizon Incredible 4G LTE. I unlocked it with Rumrunner's tool, flashed TWRP (from their page), and flash CM10.2. No cell service. I tried a few things like reflashing/updating radios, etc no change. I tried a PacMan ROM. Same result. Tried a Viper ROM. Same result. Then I flash the stock rooted and deodexed ROM and I still have no service. Just sits in roaming.

Here's info from my Bootloader screen:
Currently show this on bootloader:

I don't care what ROM I use at this point. I'll even relock everything and put it back stock. Just want it to work. Help!

[Q] problem unlocking by code atrix 4g topic

Hi, recently I bought an atrix 4g with the broken glass. I replaced it, unlock the bootloader and flash the cm10 in it. I bought the code to unlock and when inserted it says that failed. Could this happend because the rom is not the original? I made a back up but the micro sd card stopped working and now I don't have any way to go back to stock. I'm not sure but I tink that the network lock is t-mobile uk.. Can I found out what carrier is the phone locked? Can I download the stock rom or OTA? Thanks to all

[Q] Problem with unlocking LG G2 D800 topic

I purchased LG G2 D800 (32gb) locked to AT&T network. I wanted to unlock it with a code and tried various webstites - 3 of them replied that they cannot offer any support, 2 emailed me back with an unlock code. Codes from those 2 different websites were the same, however it did not work - I now have the last attempt left to unlock it. I tried through one of the 'shops' as well, but they couldn't help either. Can you please advise if you have a reliable way of unlocking or obtaining a code for unlocking? Is there any other way to unlock this phone? Maybe at least a way of bringing the count of tries back to 1? I also tried ringing AT&T but they could not help, as I did not have an account with them - I'm stuck.
Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have,

Unlocking one x from cm10.1 topic

First off, I am runnign cm10.1 nightly and I have gotten an unlock code from AT&T. I was following this

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2395697

And it told me that i needed to get a stock rom before using the unlock code. So i tried to install this

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2181891

But when I flash, wipe delvik and cache, and system reboot it goes to a black screen. And oddly enough a white bar blinks on top every once in awhile. I'm not quite sure what to do. I can go to bootloader but thats about it..

Unlocking S4 with Android 4.3 on 3 topic

Just got a S4 that's locked to 3 which is also running Android 4.3

I have tried this: [GUIDE] Galaxy S4 Sim-Unlocking - xda-developers, no joy as I fail at point 4 and do not get into the menu

I then tried this: how to access UMTS if you cant access UMTS menu on Galaxy s4 - xda-developers but this also did not work

Someone suggested the main problem is the phone is running 4.3
