QUOTE(neoxz @ Jan 20 2012, 12:23 AM) Sim unlock - A SIM lock, simlock, network lock or subsidy lock is a capability built into GSM phones by mobile phone manufacturers. Network providers use this capability to restrict the use of these phones to specific countries and network providers. Generally, phones can be locked to accept only SIM cards Is that mean i have to UNLOCK bootloader before i can root my phone??Unlock Bootloader - bootloader is code that is executed before any Operating System starts to run. A bootloader is usually locked on an Android device because although it’s an open source OS, still the manufacturers want you to stick to their Android OS version specifically designed for the device. In order to apply this concept, manufacturers lock the bootloader. With a locked bootloader on Android devices, it is virtually impossible to flash a Custom ROM and forced attempts void warranty as well as usually end up in bricks. Therefore, the first step is to always unlock the bootloader.  |

QUOTE(munak991 @ Jan 20 2012, 12:36 AM) How to go into adb. use your windows cmd.. take it to your extract directory. copy the fastboot exe in the same folder and follow the cmds one by one. Before that do unlock bootloader, root the phone and run CWM.i activated adb, but still i cant use cmd to install my .img damn.. Use Gnex toolkit to do that. AFter that run the following cmd fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekj10.img fastboot reboot-bootloader fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk1.img fastboot reboot-bootloader fastboot -w update image-yakju-itl41f.zip This post has been edited by gurpreetsingh: Jan 20 2012, 12:42 AM |
