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 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.

so aftr rooting i can also update my phone with official htc firmwares
n how modaco firmware is better thn htc's firmware
Hello
i recived SGSII for xmas, but i guess it is locked for Orange because phone wants some network code
so is flash costom rom solution or do i need any other instruction?
many thanks
You will still have to run a app to unlock the phone or one to get to code.
I suggest this one it works on more phones then the code ones and since it doesn't give codes so you can't type them wrong.

hi im confused, i want to network unlock my orange UK x10i,
if i use the bootloader unlocker does this unlock my network unlock i.e. allow use any sim?
if no does anybody know of a reputable site in the UK which is priced good and reliable i.e. allow future updates, as during my search i am sure i read if you use a certain unlock tool it can hinder updating the phone? but i just want to flash custom rom ?
can someone clarify please. tried search its either old info or not clear enough.
hopefully the answer can help future users with this subject in the year 2012.
thanks.

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, recently I bought an atrix 4g with the broken glass. I replaced it, unlock the bootloader and flash the cm10 in it. I bought the code to unlock and when inserted it says that failed. Could this happend because the rom is not the original? I made a back up but the micro sd card stopped working and now I don't have any way to go back to stock. I'm not sure but I tink that the network lock is t-mobile uk.. Can I found out what carrier is the phone locked? Can I download the stock rom or OTA? Thanks to all

So... You got yourself an used atrix, unlocked it and flash the sh*t out of it without even check which carrier was bound to it..?
And, on top of that, you bought an unlocvk code for a company that you didn't even known?
Smart choice...
You can still ask the original owner for the company it was locked on.....

I asked and he says that was locked to t mobile. I didn't saw wich carrier was blocked because I didn't know how. Its a trusted seller, it's the 5 code that I bought from him.

Hello,
Sadly, there isnt a free way of doing sim unlocks for this certain phone (again, sadly), the only thing you could do is wait for a 2-year contract to expire to get it unlocked by them OR buy an unlock code from a popular simunlock site (be aware - there are many sites that scam) :/
Best regards,
James
