I live in eu, i bought my m8 from t-mobile , i unlocked, i flashed custom roms, but its s-on , after 24months , i asked t-mobile for a unlocking key , but everytime when i want to enter that key, wont work, says wrong password.
Its posible that my mid/cid are messing someting with unlocking code ? Anyone got experience with similar problem? Should i flash some europian t-mobile stock rom to get solved this problem or?
And by the way is there a diference between us t-mobile and eu stock roms or they are the same ?
ps. i know some of those stuff are nubish for alot of guys. but i really want my network unlocked.
Thanx
Flash a stock ROM. If you are on an AOSP/CM ROM, it will do that to you. Stock ROM is the way to go to get your phone unlocked.

Bootloader 6.22
I have T-mobile Wallby pw10b1 mobile. It was locked. I opened by flashing it, but then for experiment i flashed with bootloader 6.22.Now I cannot flash any more. Can anybody tell me how flash back to 5.22
Jshann, You can go back to any version below 5.17, b'cause versions from 5.17 and above has card key. I was uable to reflash which has 6.22. Please letme know your version???
Thanks
Hi there,
i have one question:
I recently bought a already unlocked o2(ger) Version of the Diamond.
It came with the original 1.37 o2 Rom
However i was able to update it to the original o2(ger) 1.93 Version but i dont dare to flash any cooked rom or other version because i dont know how the phone was unlocked.
Is there a way for me to find out how it has been unlocked?
And is there a way to lock it again if i encounter a warranty issue?
You could insert another network sim.
My o2 Diamond came unlocked straight from the o2 webstore. If you want to revert it to factory setting again, just reflash it with a stock radio, ROM and SPL - instructions are all over this forum.
If its already unlocked why do you want to worry about warranty issues.
And if you worry about warranty, why do you dare to flash any cooked rom?

You might encounter warranty issues only if you flash and even this is very rare. Mostly they do not check for these.
If it came unlocked already from your provider , then you need not worry about your warranty.
I think its unlocked for the sim.
This has nothing to do with roms.
I think he thinks its unlocked for roms
Grtzzz
1st: Thank you all for trying to help.
What i really want ton know is: Can i only flash o2 Roms or can i use any Diamond Rom now. I thought i hav read an article about vendor specific unlocking but i cant find the article anymore.
Sorry but You can't. You have unlocked SIM but CID is locked.
So You can use only o2 roms from original country.

Hi everyone! I have a question that I have been trying to get the answer to for a while now. Please, I ask for a logical explanation/someone with experience not based on opinion to answer this question. I have recently flashed a new rom on my phone(Tuesday Blu-Ray). I am traveling to europe and would like to use my phone there. So I called t-mobile and asked them to unlock my phone, and they did! So I gave them my IMEI and they sent me a code and I successfully unlocked my phone. Here is the question however: Since I am unlocked to any carrier, and not using the stock rom, what will happen if I flash a new rom/super wipe/data wipe or anything like that? Will I lose my unlock priorities? Will my phone still be unlocked or no? Thanks
Once unlocked, always unlocked
I have a Tmobile UK phone running a Cyogen ROM. I want to move to different network (GifGaf), but upon inserting the SIM the phone requires unlocking. I've got the codes for unlocking, but they don't work. After a bit of search it appears that I can only unlock my S4 mini with the official ROM installed which I must admit surprised me.
Therefore does anyone know where I can find an official Tmobile ROM for a UK S4 mini ?
Hi !
You have all firmwares you want at "Sammobile" (internet site) ,it's official and you must be registered for to download ,it's free (with slow download)
It's a known problem...impossible to unlock sim with customs by "classical" way (and i don't know if it's possible by hack)
In theory,you can flash again a custom recovery and after a cystom rom without loose sim unlock...
Be careful !!!!! Don't loose the number of sim unlock !!! Because if you want to flash customised firmware (ste ,N5...) => there are chance that the phone will be relocked at your T-mobile !
I don't know exactly but it's a possibility because i have see that on a old S2 updated with officials => it loose sim unlock after .
Thanks for the info.
Do you know if its possible to re-install the official ROM using Cynogen recovery or do I need to replace that also?
Reason I ask is that I tried installing the official ROM last night in Cynogen recovery and it aborted almost immediately.

Hi guys,
Ive got an S4 mini id like to desimlock. It originally was a french Orange phone.
Orange gave me the unlock code, but it doesnt work at boot time with another sim card. I cannot access the advanced menu either, tried all of the possible codes (the dial keys code to access the unlock dialog).
Im rooted, with twrp and MM resurrection remix.
The guy from orange didnt cleary answer to me, do you think that could be due to the fact im running a custom rom ? Then should i try to go back to the latest official Orange rom ?
(would have to find it first...)
Thanks
flash a stock firmware then try again, this issue is happening because of custom rom
Thanks Anton, you mean a Samsung stock or a carrier stock?
you can flash unbranded stock, will work
Thanks so much, will try it out!
Doesnt work either. I have access to service mode and secret codes etc, but my (legit) unlock code is still not accepted.. Thanks anyway
