Morning Chaps,
Im quite the novice when it comes to phones and I was just wondering if my phone is locked to 3, do i need to unlock the BL, root and also flash the device?
As i followed the instructions but when inserting another sim i get the network locked message.
Any advice guys?

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.

If I get the Xperia Play sim unlocked, Can I then unlock the bootloader?
if you unlock your bootloader via jinx or alejandrissimo it will unlock your sim at the same time... i used alejandrissimo, very professional and was unlocked in minutes but it is the paid way.
unlocking your sim will not change anything at all to do with your bootloader im afraid, if your sim locked the paid way is the only way - $24 well worth it!!
Looks like thats the way im going to have to go. On the plus side, I get paid tuesday. =)
But yeah, I was just wondering cause I know people were like you cant unlock the bootloader if its a sim locked phone and all this other stuff and I was thinking, What if I called up ATT and got them to unlock the IMEI?
But if that wont change anything, I guess the paid method is how im going to have to go about doing this.
Thanks
If you get it sim unlocked your bootloader will then be allowed to be unlocked.

I believe the bootloader is specific Per-Device.
You can check if you can in your settings, excuse my newbieness,
Settings > Root Status (or something to this effect)
If your bootloader can be unlocked it'll be listed there.
I dont think the status of your SIM (locked or unlocked) affects the bootloader.

Well... Then I guess Im just gonna call up ATT and get the unlock code. Unlock the phone's sim lock and see if I can, Worse comes to worse, I cant. I still have the paid method available and I havent paid any money what so ever.

Ive looked there and it doesnt show. Which is what brought my hopes down in the first place but everywhere I looked... it said I cant because the device is simlocked. Which is why i wanna know if getting the sim lock removed would then allow me to access and unlock the Bootloader via FastBoot.
I have never owned a phone that has stopped me from rooting and installing custom roms to it. This is kinda a dissapointment but on the plus side, its a good phone.
Hard to get an unlock code from AT&T Or so I heard, but if you do, if you can tell me what you said, that'd be great.
If you do get an unlock code from them, Cant hurt to try to unlock the bootloader after that.

Im a "Valued" member of ATT. Had them for years. So, They dont question me. As long as youve had the phone on your account for 90 days, they dont bother you if you ask for a unlock code.
I will most likely do this tomorrow and will post the outcome. because like I said, if it just takes unlocking the sim card from ATT to be able to unlock the bootloader... id rather do that.
Im not against paying 24$ to have it done.. but why not try what I can for free first?
Hi everyone, I'm completely new to smartphones, just bought an Xperia Play 800i. I have been keenly reading the forums, going through everything I need to know.
My android version is 2.3.4 and build number is 4.0.2.A.0.42. Phone is network locked.
If you don't mind letting me know, the best way to start is by unlocking the SIM right? Then unlock the bootloader,then custom kernel and flashing?
Your advise would be appreciated.
AFAIK regular SIM unlocking doesn't let you unlock your bootloader.
I've read of people who pay a little or get sim unlock from other methods which isn't enough for the bootloader.
It's just that Alejandrissimo's method unlocks both sim & allows for bootloader (it's a 2 for 1 method).
Hope it helps, and if AT&T gives you a free sim unlock code then give it a shot, but it's said it doesn't work that way.
I'm trying Alejandrissimo's method and I'm lost. Have PM'd him and waiting for his reply. I am not on the AT&T network.

Thought that was only T-Mobile. Sadly I dont even have an account with them, Just bought the phone from ebay. So im probably gonna have to spend more to get the thing sim-unlocked.
Oh, look what I found on AT&T's website.
Requirements for monthly wireless plans:
Your wireless service has been active for 90 days or longer
Your account is current and in good standing
Your phone is not sold exclusively by AT&T
Your phone's unlock code is available from the manufacturer
Your phone does not have a long-term exclusive service agreement, or the contract time period has expired

I'm stuck at the USB over Network stage, keeps saying server unreachable when I select MY PC. What am I doing wrong? So frustrated!
You can get your Xperia unlocked in less than 10 minutes by Alejandrissimo. When he SIM unlocks your Xperia he will also automatically unlock bootloader.
You can visit his website here.

I visited his website, downloaded the zip file, and then I'm stuck not knowing what to do next.
So, you are saying I have to wait for him to respond to my request? So, I guess the USB over Network program will be used by him, to remote unlock my Xperia? I'm cool with that because I want to pay for the service.

same question - how to unlock from carrier htc one X+ ?
can it be done by finding unlock code on the phone itself?

you can't, you need s-off to unbrand the phone....
matt you are not getting it...
there is a carrier lock (if you put other sim it wont register in the network) and "branding" which is just software that can be reflashed after s-off
i am talking about the carrier lock - how to remove it ? or only option is to buy unlock code?
At the moment the only way is to purchase. Got my code for about $6 on eBay.

I have no problem buying unlock key, just want to make sure it's unlock-able before buying it...
http://www.cellunlocker.net/
and, after it's unlock, I just have to unlock also BootLoader from htcdev.com and it's voila!?
Thank you.
See if Bump helps!

This is the endeavour One x (quad-core) i believe you are looking for the AT&T one x forum which is here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1548
As previous guy said you want the other forum for the at&t one x.
Sim unlock and bootloader unlock are completely different things.
Sim unlock will allow you to put a Sim card of a different carrier in.
Bootloader unlock will allow you to install custom ROMs.
If you just want to use a different carrier sim then there is no need to unlock your bootloader through htcdev

Oh my bad lol...
Yah, I'm talking both unlocks, so I can use custom rom
Thanx guys, I'll ask again there~~
Hi i have a big problem.. my HTC One X dosnt accept the unlock code. I get it from two different unlock sites.. both code where the same. Someone knows about the cable method and can help me ..
the phone is to expensive to throw it away.
I will pay for the unlock method via cable!
thx
Unlock from carrier, or unlock the bootloader. 2 completely different things ?

Hi, sorry i forget .. from the carrier AT&T .. i wanna put another chip inside
Sorry don't know anything about that. And if you have the dual-core EVITA phone then you are in the incorrect forum. Although the method would be the same.
This is the forum for the quad-core hox
I think you have to be in the HTC one xl forum.

It is possible. I have actually done it a few days ago.
As for if removing network lock is possible, I'm not really sure.

How did you unlock the bootloader, please . . .??
I believe you have to go to a specific Motorola website & follow instructions. Should be Googleable.

Did you have phone service for six months (and at the time of the unlock) or just owned the phone that long?
i am with tmo it all depends on who you get and how present it to tmo on why you need it u locked i got mine unlocked on day one within a hour and im making payments granted ive been with them for like ten years so im sure that helps.ive done it before but i will admit it sounded harder this time the rep was like i will be right back with you i have to get this approved with a superviser ten minutes later he said it was approved and within 24 hours i would be able to unlock inrebooted phine from there and unlocked it.the oem lock in dev settings took 3 days before moto unlocked that as for unlocking my bootloader i havent went thay far yet i dont see the need yet and ive read you will not receive updates.honestly unless you are a developer there isnt alot on this device yet im sure it will come but i think ive seen one rom twrp i believe is spotty at the moment were probably a good three months atleast away before it really starts rolling.i will say it you use my way with metro make sure u sound like your in a officail compasity and you have a need as mot to spill the beans thats all i will say and good luck
