Hi,
I bought a TMobile HD2 unlocked in India. Am planing to update the phone with the latest software version from TMobile. Once i do the update can i use the same unlock code to unlock my phone so that i can use it.
OR
Can i install a custom rom with Windows & Android installed.
Am just worried that if i install a custom rom if the same unlock code will be still valid.
Thanks

If your phone is carrier-unlocked (either when you bought it or by unlocking it through your carrier or some unlock-code website), it will stay unlocked.
The carrier-lock (or, in your case unlock) is dependent of the IMEI number of your phonee (and this is something you can't change )
So, it doesn't matter how much (or which) ROMs you flash; it will always be SIM-unlocked .

Hi Guys,,
I need some help. I have an O2 Lumia 800 from the UK. I am currently outside the UK, and want this phone unlocked.
I dont have the original sim either.
I am even open to having a custom ROM installed.
Can someone point out what options I have right now to get the phone unblocked.
Appreciate any help,
Thanks,
crusieUser
If you have the option to install a custom rom then you have the Qualcomm bootloader, if so you can use NSS from this forum post

I think i have DLOAD, what options do I have?
Hi Guys,
Just wondering,
Cellularunlocker.net has unlock codes for Orange, will this work with O2 ? (just curious)
Your options are (as far as I know) to get it unlocked from O2 themselves, if a website say's "Orange only" then they won't have the codes for O2.

You need to get the code from AT&T or use one of the pay services to get an unlock code. All you did was unlock the bootloader which lets you install custom roms.

Thank you, But I have already unlocked my phone.

Can we get a thread to consolidate information about the locked bootloader?
I need root, and waiting for an exploit to root might take a long time (or never), so the only other option is to get the phone unlocked?
Is the manufacturer able to unlock the bootloader? Is there a way to splice a root into a factory update?
SIM unlock and bootloader unlock are totally separate, so none of the 'unlock' services frequently advertised will be able to unlock the bootloader?
I'm am seriously frustrated by not having boot access, to the point that I am considering selling the phone and getting an HTC or Sony.
What really sucks is I bought this phone off-contract directly from Samsung because I thought only Carriers phones had bootloader locks.
FYI my version is the SM-G9250 (Asia spec phone).
That sucks.
I recommend you return or sell it and buy a T Mobile S6 or S6 Edge. After 14 days of purchase, they will unlock the phone. Also, it comes with unlocked bootloader and root is now available.
How do you check if bootloader is locked or not? I have an international version (F).
Thanks

Liking this phone more and more...
Unfortunately I spend most of my time in Asia, so I don't have much of a choice. This phone has more coverage...and there is no cooling off/return period in Taiwan. I can only sell it as a used phone.
So the T-Mobile us version comes with an unlocked bootloader? This is the deciding factor of me purchasing this device .

This is amazing. I never knew T-Mobile did this. What's the protocol for unlocking after the first 14 days?
I think its 40 days, or something similar
just call them and ask them, they will tell you exactly how you do it
I'm from other country holding the G925I version
how do I check if the bootloader is locked or not?
I'm So EXCITED! Samsung provides factory bootloader unlocking!
I posted the details here:

Is the boot loader in the Hong Kong version locked too?
Hiya, does anyone know if the Canadian version (SM-G925W8) comes with a locked bootloader? I'm trying to root the device but it just keeps failing in odin.
According to this, the latest update for T Mobile locks the boot loader guys. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3096169
I currently have both the T-Mobile version and I purchased an unlocked version from BestBuy.
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/oneplus-nord-n200-5g-blue-quantum-64gb-unlocked-blue-quantum/6468089.p?skuId=6468089
Are there physical differences to these two phones or are they just running different software?
EDIT I looks like its not possible to unlock the bootloader of the T-Mobile version just yet and I have been doing some searching and it looks like the unlocked version is closer to being unlocked. If anyone can confirm a way to bootloader unlock either I would appreciate it.
My end goal here is to get access to Unlocked/Uncapped tethering without having to use a 3rdparty app or companion app. The ability to flash custom ROMs and root access. But also the ability to flash back to a 100% stock rom.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
EDIT I see now you can get the bootloader unlocked on both version by sending a token to Oneplus and waiting 7 days.

The only physical difference is that the T-Mobile version has the IMEI engraved onto the back of the phone while the unlocked variant does not and the original boxes are slightly different.
Both phones run different software. It is possible to flash the unlocked ROM to the T-Mobile version of the phone after unlocking the bootloader, but that breaks OTA.

You may find this useful with the T-Mobile variant: CLICK HERE
All the info you need to get your bootloader unlocked for the T-Mobile variant.
There's even a single adb command that will ungrey the OEM unlock option in the developer settings without a SIM unlock (you'll still need the unlock token from OP though):
The Quest for a Bootloader Unlock (partial guide, T-Mobile variant, may work for MetroPCS/Metro variant)
OK, this process has been hell, but I'm gonna try and consolidate everything I've worked out so far in one place. This all applies only to the T-Mobile variant (ie. it comes preloaded with all the T-Mobile bloatware) of the N200 on the T-Mobile...
forum.xda-developers.com
does unlocked version has dual sim capability and dual sim tray??
I'm trying to do the same thing with the N200 for a hostpot @xVoidx . I'm curious if you succeeded, and what ROM did you end up using to do it?
I have this phone fully bootloader unlocked. can someone direct me to a tmobile variant rom? or something thatll change it from tmobile to unlocked?

I'm planning to import a brand new Japan version of Pixel 6 from a shop. I was told that the phone is not locked to any specific carrier and can be used on any network. Since the phone is not carrier locked, is that mean the bootloader can also be unlocked? Is there any relation between locked carrier and locked bootloader? I wanna buy a phone which can have unlocked bootloader. The shop people said they won't be able to check OEM Unlocking status.
you can unlock the bootloader. I have Japanese version and i changed the model to International and again locked it.
Have a look here.
Cheers
Tom
