Hi there, welcome to the forums. Your answer is yes, you can flash your device if it is sim unlock. Just to let you know, if you flash it will not sim unlock your device. Follow the following link to flash your device: Flashing your excalibur for noobs

thanks for the answer. im confused, did you mean sim locked or unlocked?

[Q] How to unlock HTC Desire locked to A1 Austria

Is there a way to unlock the phone, because I read that Austrian operators relock the phones? Is there a way to unlock this via flashing rom???
Buying a unlock code is the way.
Flashing a ROM would not do.

ok, thanks. from where do you suggest to buy the code
I have never used unlock codes as I didn't had to.
But using a simple search suggests:

You can also talk to the carrier that it's locked and asked them how much will they charge you to unlock it.
Be careful when using sites and read the disclaimer and the refunding options before paying for a code.

I'm sorry, but i'm not allowed to post extern links...
I have tested this with my HTC Touch Diamond and it works perfect.

The unlocking of the bootloader and rooting as nothing to do with been sim locked. What you could do is phone 3 and tell them you are going abroad on holiday and need it unlocking so you can put another cheaper sim in when your abroad.

I thought about that,
basically iv asked around and was told that even the unlocking websites cant guarantee these codes working
someone had also informed me you cant unlock the htc one x expecially if its on 3

Give them a bell, its worth a shot. Didnt realise they sim lock their contract phones (apart from iPhone and Blackberry and specials), a lot of other providers dont care because your tied to them with the contract.

He's wanting to SIM unlock the phone so he can use it on other networks, not unlock the bootloader.

simple answer. if the device is carrier locked, you can only use a sim for that carrier (without unlocking).
if the device is unlocked, you can use any compatible sim.

[Q] Unlocking a not unlockable Bootloader

Hi,
I got a Z1 compact and I need to remove the Simlock to use a SIM card from another carrier.
After reading a lot of other posts I'm assuming that I need to unlock the bootloader to do that.
The problem is, that the service info says that the bootloder unlock is not allowed..
Is there any possibility to unlock the bootloader anyway?
Thank you for any helpful answers.

There has been no exploit found yet
No. And will probably never happen either.

You don't need to unlock the bootloader to unlock the SIM. Those are 2 different unlocks.

XT1952DL ?

The XT1952DL G7 Play is called "Optimo" by Straighttalk, (ST) & Total Wireless , and "Revvlry" by T-Mobile.
I have the ST version; the bootloader is locked with the "OEM Unlock" option (in Developer Options) greyed-out. And, the mobile network is locked to ST/Verizon.
I own the phone (not blacklisted) but haven't had it long enough for ST to give me an unlock code.
Is there ANY way to unlock this XT1952DL???
Thanks, Will C.

Basically any Moto or phone in general from Verizon or att cannot be bootloader unlocked as the mentioned carriers do not allow it
XT1952DL - SIM unlocked
I got the SIM unlocked on my ST Moto G7 Optimo.
'Was locked to StraightTalk (VZW), but now works fine with a GSM (At&t mvno) sim card.
However, the bootloader is still locked down tight!
Would love to get rid of that ST/TracFone firmware!

I was able to unlock it. Find usb unlock for Optimo Xt-1952. They log remotely on the phone to unlock it.
Great find, I googled that and have to say I was unsure but gave it a go. I have a Tracfone version that was on Walmert Family Mobile, tried to put my Canadian sim in but didn't get any unlock prompts, took it to an unlocking service but they couldn't do anything with it.
Read you post and googled it and they managed to unlock it on the 2nd attempt, great service was all done within 30 mins of contacting them, like you said bootloader is still locked but nothing much I can do about that.
