Flashing a rom on a SIM unlocked device will not re-lock the device.

Yes (SIM unlocking your device is based on your IMEI, which of course will not change after flashing a rom - even stock).

Hi,
I wonder if anyone knows if running a custom rom on the S2 would stop me being able to sim unlock it?
Thanks

Why?
IMO doesn't make a difference for unlocking ... only if it is a special feature of the custom ROM to prevent SIM unlock.
Read the descritption of the custom ROM, and if there is nothing about it, it should behave like stock ROM for unlocking.
P.S.: If you want to unlock your phone, why don't you unlock it before flashing the custom ROM?

Hi, thanks for the reply.
Basically I have sold phone and the person who bought it tried to take it to a high street unlocker and they couldn't do it because it was running a custom rom.
Hi, i have a japanese phone, ISW11M (AU KDDI) which is locked apparently. I have already sim-unlocked it using some paid service. However, I planning to unlock the bootloader to install some rooted custom ROM..
So my question is, do isw11m(Au kddi) model is supported by photon_torpedo root method? Or do i need to use other method to install custom rom in this phone? Please enlighten me or give me a direction on how to solve this.
Yes, you can install custom ROM on ISW11M. I've already installed CM7 on my ISW11M (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910837). Do step-by-step --> ROOT --> UNLOCK BOOTLOADER --> CMW --> Install ROM.
But there is one thing you must know, if you break your phone, you can't returm to stock ROM because there is no stock ROM for ISW11M.
Please read carefully all step before you begin. I think when you're on CM7 you won't want to return stock.

I got build number, 4.5.1. I guess it is still not possible to unlock bootloader with this build version. =.=
Take a screen of your phone's About information. My phone is also 4.5.1 too.

Can you send me the link of where can i learn to unlock bootloader?
You don't need to go to an external website- I found the BL unlock instructions in the development subforum for this device and it worked perfectly. Although it slightly worries me that there's no stock ROM for this device- mine is starting to have problems.
That's right!

S3 has already unlocked bootloader from default. You just need to root your device, flash a recovery and flash a ROM through recovery. Easy

Read the sticky thread in general forum.
Guys pls tell me whether I can flash all custom Roms on unofficial unlocked(without safev2 twrp) kenzo without bootloop or hardbrick if not which Roms I should refrain pls help..
What I understood by my research is only flashing miui stock(recovery rom from other than safev2 recovery) cause bootloop and/or hardbrick, correct me if wrong.
you can't, go unlock with official way

But I have seen persons who flashed santosh's cm13 n 14
Please guys help
I unlocked bootloader unofficially and tried to do this. I was stuck in bootloop. So my suggestion is to do it officially. They will give permission to unlock bootloader in just 2 days. I also got permission in just 2 days. In application just write the genuine reason.
I am very keen to know about flashing ROMs
I am using Redmi note 3 SD 3G. I want to flash the pixel ROM for my device and I have the following doubts
1) Do I need to unlock my bootloader or without unlocking my bootloader I can directly flash TWRP?
2) If yes, then do I need a beta version of MIUI for unlocking my bootloader cause I have been trying since a very long time but it is stuck at 50%(I tried all the solutions).
Thanks a lot in advance
1. U have to unlock ur bootloader for flashing custom recovery .
2. it should be unlocked on any version but dev versions have more chance of unlocking than stable ones (especially china rom,s have high probability )
3 U can try unofficial bootloader unlocking but do it on ur own risk as it can hard brick ur device .

The project was closed and the ROM won't be continued. Better look elsewhere

But what's the point in using a ROM that won't get bug fixes and security updates?

Wait for a few days or couple of weeks, that helped in my case. Update and try syncing your Mi account on your phone.
Follow the instructions here
http://en.miui.com/unlock/
If nothing works, follow this guide, just flash any ROM of your choice with TWRP.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/kate-guide-install-lineage-os-locked-t3546154
And if you want the Pixel experience, install PureNexus ROM, it is better.
Just flash lineageos with stock gapps. And then flash my universal pixelmod. It will give you full pixel experience. Nav bar not included yet. Will include it in future.
