[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MetaMav:
I am looking to upgrade to the Note 4 from my Verizon S4 (w/ MDK unlocked bootloader), and I would like to know if any of the Note 4 Developer Edition users are able to install international or other carrier ROMs. If I purchased a Note 4 DE, would I be able to use ROMs/kernels from the other Note 4 developer threads? I imagine there are some limitations with possibly having to flash some files to work on Verizon's network.

Hello guys, I know that there are similar threads and I'm sorry for posting, but I have some specific questions. Having the phone for over two months, I want to try some custom roms.

However in service menu says that the bootloader cannot be unlocked, and I really frustrated. My previous phone was xperia mini and I used to change roms every week!

Anyway, I have done some research and found that some guys managed to change the status from no to yes. One flashed a relock. Ftf. An other flashed some kind of custom stock stock Rom.

But I'm not willing to risk my device by testing those methods. What do you think? Is there any workaround?

I'm running a pre rooted lollipop rom.

Please help!

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pegcitygeek:
You can't unlock it. You can only flash custom ROMs which use a stock kernel, so things like CyanogenMod are out.

What if I try using any method? Will it brick?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aidy.lucas:
It can't be done, if it says no that's it I'm afraid. Sony have it locked down pretty well. Only way to get that to a yes is change your device to one that says bootloader unlock allowed YES.

Please tell me how can i install roms with Bootloader unlock allowed no.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimumpro:
You can't install custom roms on locked bootloader. You can't unlock your bootloader if in status it says unlock not allowed, which means your bootloader is encrypted. This happens if you bought either a carrier branded device or the one made for a specific market, such as Malaysia. Some governments require OEMs to close down their bootloaders forever.

In theory, it is possible to hijack one of init scripts and redirect it to load a custom rom, but you can't change or modify kernel, which means that once the OEM abandons your device, as it happened with Z1-Z3, you won't be getting any security updates... . The last time it was done (hijacking init script) was on Xperia ION. To have custom roms, you need to get another device...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheElfLord:
Mine did say bootloader cant be unlocked. I had bad battery so I gave it to service and service did change battery, and they did install stock rom because I had flashed phone. And phone came with unlocked bootloader yes so I did unlock it official way. I didnt find any good 7.0 update and I locked it back via flashtool. So think before you try to do it, you cant use PC-Companion after you unlock bootloader.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimumpro:
You probably didn't notice that instead of changing the battery, Sony just sent you a different device, which was easier for them than spending time on opening/closing the phone, replacing the battery and re-sealing the backdoor. And that other device came with unlockable bootloader. Also, if you make a proper TA backup before unlocking, you can then re-lock with zero losses...

For "Bootloader unlock: No" how do I mount system in RW

I have a Sony Experia Z1s Model C6916. Its a T-mob piece and expectedly boot-loader is perm. locked.

How do I go about mounting /System in RW. I thought I saw a script someone created to run on xperia Z phones but I am not able to find it. Could someone pl point me to it ( Found some scripts from a posted called "NUT" or that was the subject line but the attachments on that post are removed from XDA server )
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimumpro:
You need to root your phone...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sieger007:
Hey am so sorry I forgot to tell you it is already rooted. The story begins after having root but the system partition cannot be mounted as root read write.

And the reason I think is the bootloader is locked.

I think I saw someone what are the script out there on XDA that will help Mount system in read write mode and the closest thing I came to here on XDA had its attachments missing.

So I wanted to know how to mount a rooted but locked bootloader Xperia Z1S. In read write mode for system.

Hello!

I am wanting to buy an extra samsung charger but having problems. I cant seem to find it anywhere. Amazon sell some but I dont believe they are genuine Samsung even when its says by Samsung as it looks very different from the one i have i got with my device. No idea why samsung don't even list it on their own website.

its my first android phone so I'm not experienced in using websites to buy things as previously I would just go to the apple shop and get ripped off in person.

Thanks

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] tehpud:
Hey All!

I finally got T-Mobile to do a full carrier unlock on my device. It is not paid off, it is just 2 days out of the box. There is a long story that goes with it, which I'd be happy to provide. I do want some help though before I go through it, if you would please assist.

Before they unlocked the device; I had installed TWRP, custom kernel, and AllianceROM. Fortunately, I backed up my original stock ROM with Ktoonz kernel before flashing Alliance. The T-Mobile Unlock app does not work on AllianceROM for probably obvious reasons. ANYWHO...I flashed back to my backup, ran the unlock with them over the phone and done.

Am I safe to flash back to AllianceROM backup I made? My understanding is once unlocked, forever unlocked. I would hate to flash into my previous backup to only lose my carrier perma unlock.

Thanks for the help!!!!

Once its unlocked, it's unlocked. It makes no difference what Rom you install afterwards.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] NexVision:
Pretty much the exact same thing with me 2 days out of the box and not paid off or even used on the network. I did wait to flash recovery and what not till it was unlocked once it is perm unlocked though you are good to go I have flashed numerous roms and flashed via odin, and even had to use smart switch recovery by serial and still unlocked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] tehpud:
Thanks!

I went ahead and did a full back up of my unlock. Went ahead and flashed the ROM fresh over, not the backup, and reflashed the kernel. Still unlocked and good to go. Did it all through TWRP and no problems. Glad it didn't remove the unlock because I can't imagine continuing the battle! At least it is working perfectly with AT&T and has a full carrier perma unlock, rootable and bootloader unlock :D

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] NexVision:
Then you were not fully unlocked. You need to flash back to stock and call T-Mobile. Unlock app does come back after restore but it does not relock the device. It may say failed if you try to use it again as it is no longer in there system but unlock will stay.
