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.....
Sorry for the stupid question but I want to unlock my bootloader and I'm a bit confused about whether my sim card needs to be unlocked or not, so does my sim card need to be unlocked first?
I figured it best to ask before I attempt it and brick my phone.
No it doesn't.

ok thanks,i will give thanks all for reply my question.
The phone comes with the sim unlocked. You can use it with another carrier's sim card without any extra steps. (You may need to verify compatility of the radios/frequencies).
There is a second lock on the phone - the bootloader. You will see many threads regarding unlocking the bootloader, as well as "rooting" - getting superuser access. Unlocking the bootloader has nothing to do with the sim. Unlocking/locking the bootloader will not affect the sim card lock (or lack thereof).
It is, and always will be(unless Verizon tries to update it and lock it down), sim unlocked. So you can use any sim in it.
But it is not boot loader unlocked stock. You have to do that yourself.

thanks my fri.
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.
I just got a new Tmobile LG V20 H918TN and haven't unlocked the sim yet.
Can I proceed with unlocking the bootloader and rooting the phone before unlocking the sim or does that need to be done first?
SIM unlock has nothing to do with bootloader unlock or root. You can do that without SIM unlocking.

Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly. I figured that was the case, but better to be safe than sorry. In the past, when I rooted my phones, they were always old enough that the sim was already unlocked. This phone is so new that I can't unlock the sim without paying for it. I only need to wait about a month to be able to do that, but I wanted to unlock the bootloader and root my phone right away. I appreciate all the effort and work that this website provides. Cheers!
