if you don't need guarantee, then make EFS backup, flash custom recovery, root and flash lollipop.
you don't need to unlock anything.
you need chainfire's root, philz or twrp recovery, odin and custom ROM.

Note 2 n7100 locked to stock rom?

Hi guys!
I have here a samsung note 2 gt-n7100 from Globe telecom (philippines) which has the following software details:
Android 4.3
Baseband n7100xxuena1
Got this OTA from the time it was released..
The problem is i have tried flashing recovery both cwm and twrp but it doesnt seem to get installed, i flashed 6 times already by odin. And whenever i boot my fone to recovery I still get the stock recovery from samsung. Do you have any idea whether the phone is locked and prohibited from any flashing?
I am trying to root and install custom rom but still no lock. I am really stuck.
I already have installed a custom rom to sghi747 and i9305 before so im not a newbie to most procedures.
Can anyone help / enlighten me?
SOLVED guys
1. downloaded and installed stock from for n7100 (singapore) via Odin
2. flash Philz Recovery
3. Flash Mr.Luong custom rom.

[Q] Need A guid please

Hello, I got a Tmobile Samsung S3 with 4.3 I want to start installing custom roms, where do I start? First, I need to root it, then what do I do next?
ALso, I tried to find some guides, but there 4.3 or below ersions. And the phone I bought it on ebay was with 4.3 official firmware.
No root needed. Just flash custom recovery with Odin, reboot straight to recovery before system boot, and flash your ROM. Procedure hasn't changed since

If you want to flash the full firmware, then download it from sammobile.com and flash it using Odin.
Then you can install custom recovery with Odin.
Be aware that if you flash the full firmware package, it has a new bootloader that doesn't play nice with custom recoveries. If you use any software method to boot into your custom recovery, you will get stuck in recovery and must flash stock recovery to be able to boot the OS. You can use a custom recovery only if you POWER OFF; then use the 3-button method to boot into your custom recovery.

I hope someone could understand my noobness 😂

Hello, I'm new to the world of android, and got interested to the world of custom roms. Recently I saw the Nougat rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m/orig-development/rom-aosp-nougat-7-0-t3448481) which is I'm interested to flash it on my phone but ironically im afraid to do it because of doubts that it will brick my phone. I'm afraid because i don't know how to unbrick it. My question is, what are the prerequisites in order to flash the nougat rom i want?
At first you have to unlock your device bootloader. Guide. After unlcoking bootloader you will face bootloop. That is normal,Flash stock rom(Single Dualvia Flash fool to fix it(First boot will take more than 10 min). Then flash CWM or Philz recovery. Now download any rom for your device flash it via recovery. I suggest you to try MM roms. Naugat roms are in beta stage wait for stable versions.

Rooting and flashing ROM

Hi. I wanted to root out Tab S 10.5 (T800), may I know what are the steps. Been browsing onto various threads but to no avail. Im on Lollipop version btw. So first, I have to flash twrp via odin, right? Then after that? Do I have to flash MM bootloader or I just stick with pre installed bootloader before I can install a rom... Im looking at Lineage ROM. Will I get bootloop if I flash lineage on top of my lollipon bootloader? Thanks
