Hi fellas i am new to this forum n wanted to ask a question i even searched fr it but couldnt find the thread
I live in india and have bought imported T mobile G2 frm ebay n it says it is unlocked to work with all sim cards........
so does it mean that it is already rooted and i can directly install mocado roms
or i have to root it again to install htc firmware(the seller said that it has been imported from germany n was unlocked there using some meathod before shipping)
so pls help
pls help
The SIM lock has nothing to do with the "rooted" status of the phone - they are independent of one another.
If you need to root the phone and/or install custom ROMs, follow one of the many guides that are available.

thx bro n unlock is permanant??or is like iphone?
If you mean the SIM lock, yes if you unlock the phone it remains unlocked.
If you mean rooting (jailbreaking), then the answer is no. If you flash an unrooted ROM, you will lose root access on your phone and have to root again.

Hey as far as I know swapping out roms on an android device plays no effect on the sim making it re-lock. When I had an unlocked G2x i was swapping out roms all day and never had to buy another code or anything.
Hope this helps you.
Once a phone is sim unlocked, its unlocked forever.

You won me the answer post.
I have a sim unlocked ATT Atrix too, and after the .91 update the sim unlock remained.
Cheers.
Hi everyone,
I have a X10a BL unlocked right now using MIUI Oddie v10 default kernel (FXP).
And about 4 day ago in my country every company is offering free sim unlock for all cell-phone. (we got a new law ).
We can achieve the sim unlocking introducing the IMEI of our cellphone and our cell-number in the carrier web page, but the PIN they send me is not working only in this phone.
Do i need to downgrade my firmware bts?
Thank you.

You could try the Flash tool given to us by Bin4ry and flash generic then follow the standard rom guide, thats how i did mine unlocked from Vodafone to originally get 2.3 standard, but lead to more xD
Xperia X10i
DonutHD 2.3.4
SE Kernel
Relock ur bootloader then try pal. If it works, don't unlock again (unless u used s1tool u may lose radio).

No, it does not mean you can use any sim card.
my phone is network unlock, i cant upgrade my firmware via seus or se pc companion. but you can use flashtool to flash roms
thanks you both, after searching ive finally gathered it has to be sim unlocked by
factory, network provider.
using sites like http://simlock.com/ and da vinci team does this affect the bootloader unlock? i.e. flashing different kernals? im sure i read in the bootloader post that using 3rd party unlock your bootloader is locked again?
so for instance if i sim unlock from the sites mentioned, is my boot loader relocked or will i have to unlock it again after sim unlock?
at the moment my x10i is network locked to orange but 2.3.3 root/unlocked bootloader via flashtool.
I went whit cellunlocker.net
the best, used it on 3 phone.
takes about an hour to receive a code
and it do NOT interfere whit unlocking the boot loader
free unlock code from [email protected]
I called att today and to my suprise they gave me free unlock code for my sony x10 I bought it from a buddy of mine that got two phones lasy year and didnt pay the first bill
ps: can i simunlock with this code on my bootloader unlock phone
sry for spam thread
Hi dudes,
I sent an email to Sony Support France and asked them about bootloader. I have a Sony Xperia Z2 from SFR carrier ( FRANCE ) and I was wondering if they could unlock my bootloader if I sim unlock it. I mean without simlock my phone should be the same as a phone purchased in a Sony store.
I'm still waiting for an answer, keep you in touch. :good:
Regards
Is this a question?
Why would you post this in Q & A?
It can be a question, maybe someone already tried that ?
Ok guys,
I got an answer, it was NO. They basically said they that I need to deal with my carrier for this kind of problems...
I still have a question for you, If an exploit is found is it only for root or will we able to unlock unlockable bootloaders ?

If the exploit is found, then you can flash a ROOTED ROM on a locked bootloader like the Z1. I for one like the stock sony experience i just wish i could put a sound MOD on the Z2 and for that i need root but, my phone is locked.....
Oh ok, so if an exploit is found, people with locked bootloader will not be able to flash kernel like the one from DoomLord for exemple ?
Hi this is one of my first post in this forum hope you can help..
