Hello guys!
As the title says, is it possible to unlock the P500 via reflashing the firmware or by flashing a custom ROM? I want to get one tonight and it's locked to another network. All help would be appreciated. Thank you!
You need to be on stock to unlock your phone. You can do that by flashing using KDZ or by flashing a stock rom zip file (the latter is easier and safer)

Most probably yes
Phone : lg P500
ROM: Rashed's CM10
Kernel : DJNOXD 2.5.6
PRESS THANKS IF I HELPED YOU!!!
You need stock to unlock. You will need an unlock code. Get one on eBay. Without stock the box won't pop up to enter the code. Trust me. I've done it.

Hello,
I recently purchased a LG Optimus One with Koodo branding on it. I have already unlocked it, rooted it, and installed custom recovery on it.
Can someone tell me where I can find stock LG Froyo firmware, and point me to a tutorial on how to install it?
Thanks.

It's the international version, it is possible to unlock. Please read all the noob threads or you risk breaking your phone. If it's already using a gingerbread firmware, be sure you use a gingerbread pudding or you will brick your phone.

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.
Hello I have a problem with my LG optimus 4XHD. I didn't like the 4.1.2 lg skinned android so i wanted to install a custom rom. I started by rooting my phone that worked but then i flashed clockworkmod recovery without unlocking the bootloader. Now i can't enter my recovery anymore but i can still boot into android. Now my question is: Can i still unlock the bootloader now without bricking my phone? Or is there another fix for a problem like this. Can someone please help me?
Thanks!

How did you flash CWM without unlocking bootloader?
And I think the bootloader can only be unlocked only with stock recovery.

Thanks for replying i flashed CWM using the Rom manager app. Do you have any idea if i can get the recovery to work again?
You gotta find stock recovery and flash like you did in CWM recovery.
This is my idea and true in logical. Isn't it.
Try at your own risk and Good luck, mate.

Thank you for tying to help me .Finding a stock recovery and flash it looks pretty hard. I would like to know why i can't unlock my bootloader now? Does unlocking the bootloader require you to have access to the recovery? Again thanks for helping i really appreciate it
I have unlocked many bootloaders of many MTK devices. The phone will be reboot to stock recovery and format the whole phone after unlocking bootloader. So I said that you need stock recovery.

You gotta find your stock recovery yourself by googling or request approriate one on the forum.
And see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163974 to make a flashable zip.
Or try this flashing recovery.img directly using Mobile uncle tools (I am not sure this would work. 50% to work)
See my thread here to try latter way.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2686654
Follow the steps 2, 3 and 5.
Good luck, bro.
Either your phone is bricked or CWMR is not flashed.

Yes but you need to be more specific.. What phone (P what.., carrier etc), is your bootloader unlocked, all that good stuff.. short version is yes, but things are a little different on different phones.. It is a lot easier on everyone if you tell people these things.. not trying to sound like a jerk, but help them help you

As travioso said... We need more information on your device specifics.
Do you have a nandroid backup, pre CM or one of your stock ROM? If so, restoring a device backup would be the easiest method.

LG Optimus L9 P769, bootloader unlocked, but i have not done back up before installing CM.
He has cyanogenmod so of course his bootloader is unlocked.
You must flash stock kdz file to go back to stock rom. This General section has a sticky thread about it.

Flashing the KDZ should have him covered, there is a CM9 for locked bootloaders via 2nd-init, just FYI..
