If you unlock your android phone and flash a new ROM after, do you have to unlock again? If so is the code the same or does it change?

Hey guys,
Quick question for everyone, here are my current specs.
Model: LT15i
Version 4.0.4
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #1
Build: MooDed 90.2
I believe my boot-loader is locked as far as I know.
(This is what I did to get to this point, if anythings not making sence)
While I am loving MooDed's build I have noticed I am getting more crashes/stalls/battery drain lately. After doing some digging I think this may be attributed to the (stock) kernel I am running.
My question: Is there a specific kernel that I should be running with MooDed (ArcKnight, DooMKernel, etc) or would keeping the MooDed ROM and running one of those kernels have any conflict?
Also, if anyone has a suggestion for a completely different ROM+Kernel combination feel free to let me know!
Thanks
(if u really use mooded 90.2 ur bootloader is unlocked, or u installes mooded via a backup ..)
anyway, u cant install a custom kernel with locked bootloader!!
u need a unlocked
if ur bootloader is unlocked i recommend arc night kernel v3.5.1 for mooded
Thanks for the reply. This will be a noobie question but how would I knowif I have an unlocked bootloader for sure?

Then you have or have had SIM-locked phone and fastboot is disabled, so only way to unlock the bootloader is via paid method.

So using this: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ is out of the option even if I follow the steps?
Would this: http://www.cellunlocker.net/ website work?
Thanks
Anyone?
I am running SlimKat 4.4.2 on an i747. Baseband = I747UCDMG2.
I received the Network Unlock code from AT&T. Inserted a T-Mobile sim card, and when I entered the unlock code it was unsuccessful. I have seen comments that Network Unlock will only work from stock, but none of the comments seemed very authoritative.
Do I need to revert to stock in order to unlock the phone? If so, will this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722660 get me what I need? If there is another way to do this, or something else is wrong, I'd like to know about it before going through this.
Thanks
Yes you have to be on stock and use the stock dialect to do what you want to.

I'm sorry, what is the stock dialect? Will the Odin package in the thread I referenced provide me with what I need?

Stock dialer is what is required.
And no, if you flash 4.3 firmware you will never be able to use the free unlock method. Odin flash 4.1.1 firmware only. Then you can unlock. You'll have to factory reset too btw.
DIALER. Got it!
As I stated in my OP, I received my unlock code from AT&T already. I'm not trying to use the free unlock method. Will the 4.3 firmware work for that?

Yes, just enter another carrier's sim card to get prompt for the unlock code.
Guys I brought a H811 which is already carrier unlocked and I can use any sim available in our country.It's currently on LP 5.1 and I want to install any custom rom based on MM like genisys and so on may be cm also. So I have a question before trying to get root or flashing anything via TWRP or flashing firmware via KDZ that after each flash will it again be sim locked?
After each flash will it again ask for sim unlock code?
Actually I am pretty noob on this things and didn't used any locked phone like this before.
Thank you in advance...

hi just to ask has anyone here manage to flash lineage os on locked bootloader?cos the new firmware has multi window and so tempted to try it.
Personally, I hardbricked the phone even with doing proper guide... Sending it back since still wararnty..
If anyone else have different result perhaps can help?
Right now I'm using LineageOS with locked bootloader. I think if you want to use with locked bootloader, don't flash the firmware provided by nijel8.
thanks for the replies but already unlock bootloader and flash lineage os best rom so far

If you are not the MIUI fan, then Lineage by nijel8 is the best option to go. I am on locked BL, and so far is OK!
