How to Unlock Sim Locked Phone - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got a new phone which is sim locked (by tracfone). I tried contacting them and all failed.
So what are my possibilities to unlock this phone???
Does Rooting the phone solve my issue???

[Q] Sim unlock without Carrier Sim

I have a T-mobile Vibrant that i need to unlock for ATT but it doesnt want to unlock. Ive searched multiple ways to unlock it but they all seem to require a tmobile sim card which i do not have. Is there a Method i can unlock the phone without a Tmobile sim...Ive tried SGS Unlock too but keep on getting the Unknown Error.

Can i do the sim unlock via davinci after i've unlocked my bootloader? - Yes(ish)

I unlocked my X10 bootloader when it was released, since then i've realised I still had credits in my davinci account, so I thought I'd have a crack at sim unlocking it.
The question I have is, will this brick my device if flash the 2.1 software back, perform the unlock and then flash back to cm7?
Maybe no-one has tried it yet, but I'm looking for a sensible answer with some evidence to back it up.

OK, So yes I can sim unlock it with davinci, But now I'm back to having a locked bootloader which is probably because it rewrote s1_boot in doing the sim unlock.
Soooo, now I can use another network sim which is my main priority as i just switched contracts.
But I'd like to have an unlocked bootloader so i'm not crippled and can go back to FXP and not SE GB.
I know I could unlock the bootloader and not have network access but that defeats the object of having it sim unlocked.
Looking back, There are a few things that would make this a lot easier....
Hi!
I had the same problem.
I was able to unlock bootloader and running Linuxdx+GingerDX.
Then i wanted to unlock my phone, did it with davinci app and worked all just fine, but after trying unlock my bootloader again the sime network crashes.
I have tried both choices on my phone both semc unlock and seetool unlock.
The same problem.
Only way to rescue my bricked phone is to make a "new" unlock again.
Now i have paid a unlock a couple of times so i dont dare to try unlock bootloader again.
Well i really like LinuxDX+GingerDX.
I beleuve that i am stock with STOCK kernel and GingerDX until a solution is here...

Sim unlock Xperia S?, have you tried...

Hi does anyone have tried the sim unlock from:
http://www.cellunlocker.net
I want to but the fact that seems that they are the only ones unlocking this phone makes me think.
My phone is from TMN Portugal in http://www.cellunlocker.net/ says that they can unlock it via IMEI.

[Q] Difference Between Unlocked and SIM Unlock

Hi,
I have a noob question. When you unlock bootloader, that's mean is SIM Unlock or it's completly different ? I know SIM unlock is to go with any phone company.
Thank you.
Completely different things. With the bootloader unlocked, you're able to install custom kernels, but the SIM Lock will remains (if you have it).

Rooting a "semi-unlocked" phone

Hi guys. I have a Huawei M2. It's dialer locked but not network locked (tried 2 diff SIMs).
Most people will slot in a SIM and it prompts the unlock code. Mine doesn't do that. I have the unlock code. But I don't know where to enter it :S
