Hi to all...
I'll buy a Motorola defy Vodaf* Spain locked, but i would like to use a custom ROM and another phone operator, so i need to buy an unlocked code or just to put the new Custom ROM?
Otherwise if i unlock by code and then i change my sim, i need to unlock again or the operation is permanent?
tnks
You cannot unlock your phone only by installing another ROM. Have a look on this topic for more details on how you can unlock it.

Hey guys, so I've managed to unlock the bootloader AND root my Wildfire S. I don't know what other steps I need to take to ensure that I can use another SIM card in it.
It still says that the Sim card is locked after unlocking the bootloader and rooting (I know that rooting is in no way connected to unlocking the SIM).
I tried purchasing an unlock code form eBay but the code didn't work.
What are my options now?
Will creating a Gold card and following these instructions do the trick? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22208351&postcount=8
Also, if I flash the stock ROM, will I lose Croatian keyboard that is in the phone currently?
Thanks in advance!
sim lock can only be removed by xtc clip or htc itself.
no goldcard or unlocked bootloader will help you.
If you flash the stock rom that corresponds to your device you will not lose the keyboard.
So flashing a stock rom wont help with the sim unlock?
No. The Sim-Lock information is stored in the phones radio firmware which can not be changed yet without an xtc clip. So Sim-Lock is independent from the operating system.
Ok, thanks for the info.
I still don't understand why are all these sites and ebay sellers selling unlock codes if the unlocking is only possible trough XTC clip.
The guy that sold me that faulty code said that they work in 99% cases, and refunded me without a question.
I don't really see how that could be a viable business if it doesn't work :-/
Hello. recently I read on a section of the HTC One X forum that if you want to unlock the carrier of a HOX and you have a custom ROM flashed and bootloader unlocked you need to lock back the bootloader and flash a stock ROM. Is it true, or can unlock it with the custom rom flashed?
You can`t disable the carrier lock without s-off.
Thanks for the answer. So there is no way someone could unlock the carrier if i have S-on?
No, sorry....
There is no way without S-OFF.:angel:
You can unlock your carrier to allow different network Sims, just google "HTC one x carrier unlock".
It's not possible to change your cid without s-off

Here comes the problem.. I know that cellunlocker.net is trusted when comes to unlock codes and i got my code yesterday. I was on Custom ROm with bootloader unlocked. When i enter the code it says it's incorect so that's why i need to know if i need to relock the bootloader and go on stock rom?
I had the same situation.HTC locked device with the code you can find on websites but then your carrier changed unlock codes,and the one you bought from site is incorrect.
I asked my carrier to tell\sell me the code but they dont want to untill the warranty is over.You can ask your carrier also,it doesnt cost you anything
My local phone repair service tell me that only solution for me is to take apart phone and read codes directly from motherboard but then i will lose warranty,which is ok for me,i already unlocked bootloader and root my hox
Just relocked and flashed stock rom. I will contact the carrier and try to get the code. Thanks for the help.
Hi Everybody,
I have a Xperia M C1904 on JB 4.3 [15.4.A.1.9] on Vodafone Australia
My bootloader unlock status is no i was wondering if it is possible to
A) Unlock the bootloader
B) install Custom roms (KitKat Possibly?)
C) get some form of custom recovery whether it be TWRP or CWM etc.
and also i would like to know step by step how to check whether the sim is locked and if possible how to unlock for free (if locked)
i know its alot to ask
Thanks
Andrew
I'll tell you everything I know.
Unlocking the bootloader unlocks the full capacity of the phone. This means you will be able to flash a custom recovery, and within the custom recovery, you can flash ROMs and everything else. But if "Bootloader unlock allowed" says no, then you won't be able to unlock your bootloader, thus not being able to flash a custom recovery. The only way to flash these is to implement a custom recovery for locked bootloaders, which is not yet available for Xperia M.
To determine whether your SIM is locked, the phone won't read it and would request for a SIM Unlock PIN.

A) we will never be able to unlock the bootloader if it says bootloader unlock Allowed: no.
B) possibly in the near future, if we get a custom recovery working on LB
C) some devs are working on it, but nothing yet. We could be getting it in the near future.
To see if your phone is sim locked, go to the phone app and enter the code *#*#7378423#*#* and a service menu should open up. Click on service info, then sim lock. If you have a 3 beside network then you are sim locked. If you have a 0 then you are sim unlocked.
Hi guys, I've got a T-Mobile UK branded Xperia S. The bootloader unlock status is no and I'm wondering if I flash a world/unbranded whatever it's called official 4.1 ROM will that change the unlock status?
Thanks in advance
No, it will not change the unlocking status, but you might brick your phone.
hey guys
how can I unlock the bootloader on my device, I have sm-p605 locked on TMN network in Portugal!!
if I bought the code over the internet does it unlock the sim and the bootloader at the same time, or it is different!!
sorry for the noob questions
First off, what is the TMN network?. Next, buying the unlock code will only affect which carrier you use, allowing you to change from one carrier to another. The unlock code does nothing for the bootloader.
You might be able to call TMN and ask for the code, they might give it to you for free.

Thank you for your answering
TMN or (MEO) is mobile provider in Portugal, o will try to contact them for the unlock code....Thanx
for the boot loader, is there a way to unlock it even with tripping Knox.
thanx again
From what I have been reading on this tablet, unlocking the bootloader isn't necessary. If you want to flash OEM roms, use Odin. If you want to try custom ROM -- CM or Aopk, slim, PA etc, just root, install a custom recovery as instructions, then flash the rom per instructions. You will trip knox, thus voiding any warranty.
