Well, I bought a T-mobile V60, and it comes with sim-unlocked.
If I reset it with lgup(not to wait ota for a long time), will it still sim-unlocked, or need to unlock again?

Hi All
Though the title says it all... Here is the problem/question:
> I have a carrier unlocked Atrix working great in India
> I intend to unlock the bootloader.
> Will unlocking bootloader bring the phone back factory settings? Will I have to AGAIN carrier-unlock it?
I bought the phone from EBay and it was already carrier unlocked. I dont have the code with me so just wanted to be sure before proceeding with bootloader-unlock.
Hope someone helps!
Thanks!
NO.
I have SIM Unlocked my phone from 4.1.26, i unlocked my bootloader at 4.1.83 and nothing happened to the sim unlocking.
SIM Unlocked never can be gone.
Is there a fuse that gets blows when the SIM is unlocked?

No. The fuse gets "burnt" only when you unlock the bootloader.
My hand got burnt when I unlocked my SIM.
I reset my device as it was acting up, and not its stuck on gears and i don't know what to do.
I'm from UK and bought it on EE network. the device has since been unlocked and switched networks
If i restore from the EE rom i found, will this relock? and if it does, can i unlock it again, same code etc?
or is there something better i could do?

HI,
your phone WON'T lock again...ones unlocked it remains unlocked no matter what ROM you're going to flash.
Mine was too locked to AT&T and successfully tried different carrier and non-carrier ROMS.
Fixed
thanks for reply. didn't have much choice but to flash it anyway lol. So I did it before reply.
it fixed no problems, and managed to get amber update at the same time, not my intention, but i'm not complaining :good:
Cheers
Hi all, I'm planning to buy the T-Mobile S5 (900T) and the seller will unlock it for me (I don't know the specifics of the steps). But if I decide to later factory reset the phone will it lock again (just like new) and require the unlocking process again? If anyone here has experience on this please help. Thanks a lot.
// After some googling seems like most T-Mobile version of other android phones (including the galaxy S4) doesn't get sim locked after factory reset.
If it is a carrier and not a software unlock, that will persist after a master reset.
So far I have not seen and software unlocks for this device.
Carrier Sim unlocks are permanent. Factory reset won't sim lock the phone. This is a question for the person you're buying the phone from.
Hey guys. I just ordered my s9+ (att model) specifically with the intention of flashing TMobile firmware for use on their Network. I chose the att version because it was on sale for $200 off, and since I'm gonna trade in my s7 I'm getting $200 for that and i got the phone for $400 off so i couldn't pass it up.
My question is, not having an att sim, and no plans to activate in their Network, would i need to acquire a sim unlock first, either from att or 3rd party, and would flashing the T-Mobile firmware undo the lock or is the sim unlock not even required?
Phone is paid for from Samsung.com so nothing owed and is brand new. I don't know what att requirements are but i could buy an unlock pretty much anywhere. But if it is needed first, would i need just a sim unlock or a complete device unlock? And do i need to do the sim unlock before flashing another carrier firmware for it to work?
All info helps. Thanks!
Flashing the firmware is just another method of unlocking your phone. As far as I know, it will be useless to unlock the phone before flashing (however, I am not 100% sure).

Was told that sim unlock was at network level and had nothing to do with the Rom. So flashing wouldn't unlock it from the previous carrier. I flashed my s7 from Verizon to T-Mobile but it was previously sim unlocked. It worked like a charm and appears to be network locked to them. Device unlock all doesn't nothing and actually fails lol. Don't have another sim to test though. I'll play it safe and unlock first for the s9.
So I aquired a h830 Sim unlocked. I unlocked the bootloader. And flashed 20a.now the thing is Sim locked again and the unlock app fails and won't unlock it
Any ideas
Just to update everybody. I despite not being a T-Mobile customer. Hit up their face book team. The whitelisted my device on the unlock server in less than 24 hours. Tell em you bought it factory direct. Unlock successful and free
