So I'm in the process of unlocking my sim (permanently) so I can use it on my carrier in here in Canada. My question is when the sim is unlocked can I install a custom rom, will it still work? ie; can I still make calls and texts?
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. But I really need to know.

Hi! Thank you for answering my question.
The device is locked to the T-Mobile carrier. I want to use it with Freedom Mobile here in Canada, the phone should work on this carrier. I made the mistake of buying it through ebay (was cheap) I will use cellunlocker.net to unlock it.

Okay. Please let us know if cellunlocker works, I haven't tried their service due to too expensive.
You might be able to unlock this device and use it on every network.
But you will probably not be able to use it with Freedom mobile in Canada because Freedom uses CDMA technology, whereas T-mobile uses GSM.
Update: Cellunlocker was unable to unlock the device. Will return and buy the H850 instead.

Same here. They can't unlock my device also. :crying:
Goodnews guys! After waiting a week for cellunlocker to unlock my device because the first try it didn't work and now I received an email from them and after their 2nd try they successfully unlocked my device! I already lose hope on getting my device unlocked it but now its unlocked!
Edit: I stayed on H830L when It was unlocked.

Do you never used your phone with the T-Mobile network? Did you buy on ebay (buyspry)? Few weeks ago cellunlocker did not work for me, I'm thinking about trying again.

Nope. I never used a T-Mobile sim. I get the phone thru some online seller here in the Philippines. On their first email that says my device was successfully unlocked but when I tried it, It fails I emailed them and they told me to wait again and after few days they finally unlocked my device.
Does your IMEI come up on t mobile website using the imei checker? . I tried cellunlocker about a month ago but they couldnt unlock my device and refunded me

Dude!
I have an H830 locked to t-mobile that I want to use on Freedom mobile in Canada also! How much did you have to pay to do this? All these sites are asking me for $150 and cellunlocker.net simply told me that I should wait up to a month before asking them again because they're having troubles with it.
Same here...I found a local phone shop who promised to unlock for less than $25.. two days later they said the server is down. I think its global I got the same response from different eBay sellers also. I hope T-mobile is not patching their system.

There is currently no 'free' way of sim unlocking your device if you hang around long enough someone may write a program to do it but you may be waiting a while. Quite a few members have stated the unlock code can be obtained over ebay within 2 hours for around £9 which is a good price. You could also contact your carrier and tell them you want to take your phone abroad and use a different sim card in it while you are away to save costs. Sometimes they will unlock it for free.

got mine unlocked from o2 for free, filled in a form on their site and they emailed me the unlock code
just bought a SIM unlock code from here for £5
instant delivery, works perfectly. awesome
a warning about sim unlock: I got my nexus today from vodafone spain and as expected it was locked. I got an unlock code from ebay and it worked like a charm.
But, I like to play with new phones first, then restore defaults and set everything up the way I want it. The thing is, the galaxy nexus doesn't remember the network unlock code between factory resets, at least mine doesn't (yakju, came with ITL41F).
The codes work, but you may need yours again, so don't throw the number away
any code for three? im waiting the three to give me the code, about 2 weeks now
Hello Mark, is the Samsung Galaxy Nexus an universal phone? Can I use the unlocked version with LTE carriers in the future? I am in US and Verizon is the only LTE carrier I was wondering about using T-Mobile (HSPS technology) or wait for Sprint (my current carrier). I live in USA but I am thinking about moving to Japan so I wonder if I should just wait and maybe I will need to get one in Japan with one of their carriers... Also I love the forums and it is all great, but is there an IRC room for this questions as well?
Thank you in advance,

The GSM version can be purchased unlocked and used on any GSM carrier with their supplied SIM card. The GSM frequencies are listed for the Galaxy Nexus and they cover the majority of GSM international and US domestic carriers.
The LTE version, as far as we've heard, is only for Verizon in the US. Not sure what LTE technologies other carriers in other countries are using.
If you're interested in having an international capable version of the deivce, the GSM version is currently your best option.
Hope that helps!
Hi,
I would also like to purchase such a code, but how ist it with OTA updates? Still avialable?
How would it be if I later root my phone and put on a custom rom? Will it be still unlocked.
or
cant I just put on a custom rom, to sim-unlock the phone and save those costs?
Sorry for the noob questions.
Thanks

Custom Roms cannot sim unlock your phone as it isnt part of the system.
Flashing an OTA update or a custom rom will not affect your phone if you have sim unlocked it with a code.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I have contacted my carrier (A1 Austria) and complained about the simlock. To make a long story short, they finally gave me the simunlock pin.
But recently I unlocked the bootlader and the unlock was wiped so I needed to reenter the pin. After I reflashed the original rom (back to stock) the sim was locked again.
And the most strange thing happened today. I just restarted the phone today (as every day) and the sim was locked again. So reentered the pin to unlock.
My question now, can it be that the simumlock pin they have provided me is not correctly working or is this a normal behaviour or a bug?

That appears to be normal behaviour.

Just use a local service usually 20-30 dollars.. i got mines unlocked for a TELCEL and it works. I really dont suggest using any online sites since they send you a non-working code and since the phone is recnet model, then they dont have the options to unlock it. Dont make the same mistake i made.

Did you buy your phone online? Do you know the original owner? I ran it to the issue where the sell of my phone was the original owner and still had the cell phone under is name with ATT but not activate. The seller has to contact ATT and let them know that they sold the device and then once it is release the unlock code works.

I just unlocked my Note 4 and my wife's Note Edge in the last couple weeks and I used imei-unlocker.com. It was $29.90 something and worked flawlessly. We had the codes back and phones unlocked within a few hours of placing an order.
Just a quick tip for anyone else needing to unlock, try going though ATT first.
I bought my phone used and submitted the info and while it said 2 business days I had my code within minutes - for free.

To unlock from att directly like others have suggested it looks like you need a valid account and phone number with them. I am wondering if there is any way around this or if you can just call them and explain you bought a refurbed unit off ebay and simply want to unlock it.

@stifilz is probably the best thing that happened to the HTC M9. He sorted my sim issues on the Sprint M9 within minutes, couple of times. Helped countless others too!
Hi @stifilz, I back on HTC, this time with T-Mo HTC 10. It seems unlocked because my sim is working perfectly fine, 4g lte and all. I'm thinking of getting s-off and flashing US Unlocked RUU, just scared I might lose the sim unlock.

A few questions:
1. I read somewhere that when you flash the US Unlocked RUU during setup you're asked to pick a network. Was there anything like that for you? What did you do if there was?
2. How did you do the physical unlock and how much did it cost?
3. When I bought my phone from the guy I just popped in my sim and it works. The T-Mo unlock app is still in my apps but I've decided not to touch it. How can I tell if mine is physical unlock?
Thanks!

A physical unlock involves plugging the tool into it. You would need to buy that tool. Just try it. Worst case you SHOULD be able to flash T-Mobile and use the unlock app again. PM me if you need S-off

Not sure of your status with this but DO NOT use htcunlockingservice.com. It was $12 to begin with, then I was informed I'd need to pay an additional $12 bc the device was hard locked. I did, they notified me they got an unlock code from Sprint server but it did not work. Site says 100% money back guarantee but thats proving as much of a pain as dealing with Sprint customer service.

Tesco phones are a **** to unlock. If you have pay monthly with them can get it done for free. Can request on Teco Mobile website. If not then - see below is copy and paste from Tesco Mobile website;
Paying to unlock your phone
We don’t charge you to unlock pay as you go phones over 12 months old. If you’ve got a pay as you go phone less than 12 months old, you’ll need to pay £10.
To pay, just top-up the Tesco Mobile number you gave to us and we’ll take the £10 payment from the SIM card within 24 hours. If you need one, you can request a free Tesco Mobile SIM then call 4444 free to top-up.

I figured that'd be the case. Thanks. First time I've had to obtain one and actually got it. Their customer support is not so great. They acted like I was asking for the impossible and continued to tell me it is unlocked. I said dude it says it is locked to you! I know the bootloader is I guess nearly impossible to unlock. Apparently only dev editions can be unlocked. Surely they have the tools do such. Not sure if I'll get a Motorola again. It's basically owning something you don't fully own.

Apparently only dev editions can be unlocked. Surely they have the tools do such. Not sure if I'll get a Motorola again. It's basically owning something you don't fully own.

If you buy a non carrier branded moto they can be unlock.

I did have a little Moto X XT1060 I think? I think it might have been a dev edition. Was a pretty good phone. Most of those (non carrier branded) won't be sold in retail stores I wouldn't imagine so I guess you have to buy online? I have purchased unlocked phones on Ebay. I was just in a jam for this one and got it from Wal-Mart and on top of that it had a sorry 14-day return policy. That is asinine.

You are trying to bootloader unlock or sim unlock?

Already SIM unlocked via Verizon. No way as far as I know for the bootloader.

Not if it's a Verizon branded device.

Hi I have an art locked phone (found in the e-waste container with puffy battery ordered new battery works 100% fine)
Yet art refuses to send a bootloader unlock code because the whatever period is not passed or something isn't paid off idk.
Can I unlock the bootloader or at least remove the SIM lock somehow so I can use it with my mint SIM?
Thanks

nah dude, unless you can hack the bootloader, you're pretty much stuck there. The problem is the key is generated by a program on their end, so unless you get access to this program( literally impossible) or hack the bootloader you can't access it. Its like if they gave you a pad lock without the key. You would have to look through the lock mechanism and trick it into opening, but there is probably some issues along if you can even achieve this

I think too
Hi
so finally att sent me an unlock code.
i can't however unlock the bootloader. not even via https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b where if i inspect the page and make the "get my code" button appear it drops me to a 404 otherwise i copypaste the requested code (including #s) it says "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking." the phone has att logo on it and at boot the att logo pops up too. but why can i put in now other sim, but can't upload another firmware? makes no sense.
is there a way to unlock bootloader somehow nowadays?
the phone also powers up to fastboot which i can't seem to fix either.
thanks
no test point? no "hack"? i'm stuck with att branded software? what a garbage...
I couldn't find any options on eBay.
Search my friend there multiple ways but you'll have to pay off at least half your bill and request unlock code from OnePlus

I hope he has better luck then me I couldn't get them to do anything besides take money off my bill.i lucked out was one of the first ones to get help from the gentleman that had tokens
In the United States, all 4G phones have to be sold as unlocked by law. However, there are a few stipulations like owing money on the phone (purchased on credit, monthly payments) and a 30-90 day waiting period some carriers adopt.

Any credible ones you have experience with? Couldn't find anything that looked legit and don't want to enter a card into a random website.

Me either so I just opted to contact OnePlus and request an unlock code. TMobile requires the phone to be on their network for at least 40 days and I'm good standing. Once you have that you can install the TMobile Device unlock app and see if you can proceed. If you can, TMobile will SIM unlock your phone.

I was able to get TMO to permanently unlock my 7T just a few days ago. I had originally contacted TMobile Help on Twitter four days after getting my new 7T. I told them I was an app and ROM developer and I needed this device unlocked so I could test my apps. At that time she wouldn't unlock it and for me because I had only had my new 7T for four days. She told me she would unlock it after 40 days and if I was in good standing with my account.
I actually waited 50 days and contacted TMobile Help again on Tuesday and I was able I was given the permanent unlock. It took a little wrangling and explaining to the new person who was helping me but I got it done without having my 7T paid off.
