[Q] SIM Unlock/Flash factory ROM/Root

[ChrisCG]

Hi all,

Not got the G yet but looking to get one for my sister from Tescos as soon as I can. I see root is now resolved via "superroot", I see that people are getting SIM unlock codes from eBay etc. All good.

I see a lot of talk about flashing the factory rom over the Tesco one - but see many ifs/buts/maybes. Has this 100% been done by anyone?

Finally - if bootloader is unlocked, factory rom installed do I actually need to get a SIM unlock code too? (I would have hoped that would be enough but looking for confirmation from those that know!)

Cheers

Chris

If you want to use a different network other than tesco you will need to obtain an unlock code, unlocking the bootloader and flashing roms will not unlock the device to use other networks
