Flash a unlocked G1, will it still be unlocked?

I have a white G1, with T-mobile RC33 firmware, that I bought unlocked from ebay. So I don't have the unlock code, and I live in Norway..
Can I downgrade and flash the phone to root and dev phone, and the phone will still be unlocked afterwords?
Or does it have to be unlocked again after the procedure? Something I can't do..

It will still be unlocked.

I done the same thing with my unlocked phone from ebay, flashed and rooted with no problems.
* I take no responsibility for any problems encountered! *
*edit* I'm too slow

[Q] question about rooting

Hi all
I'm pretty new about unlocked phone.
Tried to search on google about this situation but didn't found any anwser.
I just bought an Moto Droid 2 global and it's unlock to be able to use in canada and if I root the phone will I loose the unlock feature of the phone or when the phone is unlock is permanent?
thanks
Paco

Phone unlock is permanent. You can root/SBF/do whatever you want - it will stay unlocked.

[Q] Network locked phone and a custom ROM: will it still be locked to the network?

With a network locked phone and a custom ROM, will I still be locked to the network?
Also, how do I know if my phone is locked? It won't run with other SIM cards in it, but there's no message. It just crashes at the "Omnia 7" logo and reboots endlessly.
And finally, are you supposed to do the network unlock before installing a custom ROM? I've read that some unlockers check "software version" and mine is likely to be obscure.
Thanks

To answer my questions (for the benefit of others finding this thread).
1. Custom ROMs and bootloaders are entirely separate from network unlocking.
2. Um, it was locked as I thought.
3. Didn't seem to matter. Which was fortunate since my device identifies as a Nokia but the Samsung unlock worked anyway.

Unlocking HTC Radar c110e Carrier lock

[Q] What is bootloader and do I need to unlock it?

I am completely clueless of what bootloader is and after some googling, I think that it's the locking of a phone's network to a specific company like verizon, at&t etc. But, here in India, we don't have such contracts, so do I need to unlock bootloader before rooting my phone? I previously had galaxy ace and there was no mention of bootloader even when I installed all sorts of custom roms.

you just won't get root if your bootloader is locked
Unlock it for root, CWM, ROMs , etc

No, a bootloader doesn't do what you assumed, it just restricts your devices from any alteration by giving you limited access. Region locked or carrier lock is a different thing.

Thanks all, one more thing, if I unlock bootloader then can I get my warranty back?

NO, you won't. When you apply for the code on Motorola site you lose your warranty. Even if you somehow manage to trick them, Moto G will still show status code as 2 (meaning relocked) instead of 1 (locked) or 3 (unlocked). Anybody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

My bad but I really need help unlocking my z2

I've paid twice to have it unlocked no one can do it it's blacklisted from att but I've had the phone for ever so idk pleaee help I'll even pay

I don't believe you can unlock the AT&T version to be used with other carriers since the bootloader cannot be unlocked and believe possibly same with the Verizon version. Only the Tmobile & Sprint permit unlocked bootloaders. I could also be wrong in terms of usability with other carriers even if the bootloaders are locked. For instance my current phone it's a Verizon prepaid Moto E4 that was unlocked for use on Tmobile despite the bootloader still locked.

If you only say "unlock", I'll understand it in 2 ways:
- unlock the bootloader
- unlock carrier
1. Unlock bootloader
You can easily unlock bootloader if you have T-mobile or Spriny one. It's harder for Verizon or ATT. Just google and ask team Sunshine if Z2F was supported.
2. Unlock carrier
I dont know much about this case
