Hi, is there a way for me to retrieve the unlock code from inside my atrix, I'm currently rooted, CWM recovery touch installed, running aura rom 1.2.2.2 and unlocked to any carrier.
I want to know, just in case i want to return to stock I want to be able to unlock the phone by code and use it with any carrier.
Thank you!!!
As of right now that's not possible. Only way to unlock is to either pay for or ask your carrier for the unlock code.

can anybody tell me if I will need to re-enter my unlock code on my t-mobile (with an o2 sim at the minute) after I root it and flash a custom rom?
The reason I ask is because I bought the phone unlocked so do not have the unlock code, so dont want to flash a custom rom if its going lock my phone back onto t-mobile!
I was unable to find anything on this subject by searching the forums.
Cheers
No, sim lock status is not affected by ROM flashing.
excellent, many thanks, let the rom flashing commence!
Currently my wife's phone is unlocked. I am a noob and I am just getting into the flash/root android community so I upgraded her stock phone to JI6 on Eclair. As a result, her unlocking codes are not easily accessible anymore but the phone is unlocked. I'm wondering if I need to risk going through the steps in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822008&page=11 (under Helroz) to find the unlock codes for the phone or I can just continue flash in Roms and kernels on her phone.
I guess the real question is: how important is it to have the unlocking codes if your phone is already unlocked and under what circumstances would the phone relock itself?
Thank you in advance for all replies.
Unlocked as in.... you can change out the sd card? Otherwise, if you have already flashed a differnet ROM, kernel, or modem or whatever, I don't think it would be different if you did it again.
But I would assume once you're unlocked...well you're unlocked, right?
Lol I am unlocked...I'm using the t mobile phone on the wind network I
n toronto so I can say with certainty that I'm unlocked. The reason why I'm asking is because we have two viberants (one that I have the unlock code and one that I don't ). being the noob that I am, I retired to manualy root my phone (the one I have the unlock code) using the update.zip file found in the sticky noob guideline.that one somehow re-locked my phone but I had the unlock codes so out was no problem. That's why I'm paranoid now about the phone relocking itself and I won't have the unlock codes.
Your right about it not asking for the unlock codes after rom and kernel updates.I'm hoping the situation where I re-locked the phone is a special, rare, and unique case. I'm going for some confirmation on this.
my phone's network is unlocked and im using it in india, but really want to install some custom roms, from here, but will after installing those roms, my phone still be unlocked to be used in india???????????????
I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure your phone is unlocked forever if you entered the actual unlock code. (EDIT: Assuming you don't intentionally/explicitly relock to network--this is possible, no?)
There's also a root/hack unlock method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906255 which can apparently be reversed.
How did you unlock the phone to begin with?
i got it unlocked from the gray market.....
how can i unlock the htc one without the simcard?
I have the phone, and the bootloader is unlocked and s-off running twrp (android version 4.4.2)
Is it even possible to do it without the simcard? i mean i know its been done on other phones with out the use of an unlock code.

If the bootloader shows to be unlocked, then the phone is unlocked? Now if you want to unlock the SIM, then you will need the SIM from the other provider otherwise the phone will not ask you to enter the unlock code. There is no other way to get it to ask for a SIM code.
anyone know how to get this phone off alltel and on any other carrier? I have the bootloader unlocked, twrp and root. I cant get it to accept any other networl. this is the cdma version. I cant even get into diagnostic mode to connect to dfs. HELP
You will need to unlock it. Go to your carrier, and ask them to unlock it for you. Don't try unlocking it yourself, as it is illegal.
Unlocked bootloader: Allows you to flash custom ROMS and custom recovery.
Unlocked phone: Allows you to use your phone with any carrier.
