It may be a carrier lock, but if you dimiss it and can still call and send messages, you should be fine.
This a ROM failure that I discovered on my active, as I live in Norway, but I can live with it.

Hi,
I have an X10i branded Bouygues Telecom (France) fw 2.1.A.0.435, baseband 2.1.54. My phone is Simlocked in Bouygues network but the operator will provide me the free sim unlock code in 6 months (not now).
So I want to know if I flash my phone with another firmware (generic or custom), and another baseband, I will still unlock my phone with the same code ?
or I have to flash back to original branded Bouygues Rom to enter de sim unlock code ?
Thank you for your answers.
Please answer my question !
You don't have to flash the original firmware just to unlock SIM.

Once unlocked the phone will remain unlocked, it will not revert back to the locked status after flashing the rom.
I presume that you have unlocked it using the code from the provider or a third party?
I think that what he's really asking is that, if flashing the device would make any difference when the time of unlocking the device come... Actually, no matter what you do to the device the IMEI is going to remain the same, IMEI is a unique combination of number that each phone has, which is the information they use to generate the unlock code. So, feel free to play with new roms on your device... It won't make any difference.
I hope this helps you...
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.
Hi guys!
Thanks in advance for your help on this matter!
I have been patiently waiting for the official ICS update to arrive for my SE NEO (MT15) since way back when. I know O2 publicly announced they weren't going to bother updating but does anyone know if the Orange UK (now EE) will ever update this phone? Its SI is 1253-7641 if that is any help? Sony are no longer updating their thread of SI numbers so all might be lost in the change from SE to Sony and from Orange to EE!!
I have looked at doing this manually but am worried that as my phone is network locked I might brick it. Also in order to use custom ROMs there seems to be some touch-point modification which worries me too! (I might be wrong on these things).
Thanks again for your time!
1st thing you need to Unlock it from the Network, then unlock the boot loader (optional), & then Install the custom Rom whatever ICS ROM you like or even stock one.

Doesn't network unlock require a testpoint procedure? I know bootloader does. I am very hesitant to fiddle with hardware like that.
If information on whether or not Orange (EE) are going to ever produce an update I might wait until my contract runs out in a couple of months and get a new phone!
If you just want to use stock fw, simply flash it with falshtool, no need for SIM unlock or bootloader unlock.
if have the xperia x10 mini pro sim unlocked by software if change the stock 2.1 rom to another rom, the Sim unlock will be gone?
No, SIM unlock is independent of the ROM. dont worry, flash another rom.
thanks for the answer.
i'm asking this because I read somewhere that if you sim unlocked the device by Software the unlock me be gone, but if you unlocked by imei it won't be gone

You're confused with bootloader unlock and sim unlock. Sim-unlock allows you to use any network-provider on your phone, Bootloader-unlock allows you to install a custom kernel to your phone.
If you want to unlock the bootloader to flash a custom kernel, your network may be lost, because your phone wasn't sim-unlocked using an imei code, but it's not that your sim-lock is activated again.
You can get your network back by flashing back to stock Sony Ericsson kernel and then restoring your bootloader using S1Tool.
I'm selling my Sprint Note 3 that I had rooted before the lollipop upgrade. Since then I put a lollipop rom on it.
Two stupid noobie questions that I couldn't find answers to when I searched ..
1. Since I'm rooted am I also unlocked ... can he use an att Sim card and use it on att?
2. Do I need a specific rom that would make this possible ... or is there a way to test it to prove to him that it works?
Thanks for the answers.
Just FYI... There's a difference between unlocked carrier and unlocked boot loader.
You do not need a custom ROM to use another Sim card, but you need to unlock the carrier on the phone
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app
Is there a way to tell if I did a carrier unlock? I don't really even remember what method I used to root it.
You unlock the boot loader to flash a custom rom?
To sim unlock you would have had to run SSU.app or GT.app to international unlock then odined a older radio mj4 or mi3. Then change the APNs to match the carrier's settings for internet and mms messages.
I called sprint and got the master unlock codes ... is there an easy way to unlock it now that I have those?
