I want to buy a used nexus s but I donor know if it is factory unlocked or not. Is there a way to know that. Thx

Even if it is locked...
fastboot oem unlock
Then its unlocked
Yeah. When you turn it on, is there a icon of a unlocked padlock under the word google? If there is them it's unlocked. This is unlocked in the sense of rooting it. Are you talking unlocked like to use on a different carrier? I don't know that answer.
But I want it with the origenal room so I can receive OTA without the need to boot. Thx

.no there is nothing but the Google mark and I tried it with my native carrier. Thx

If you're talking about if it's sim unlocked then yes, if you bought straight from Google or Samsung then it is unlocked. If you bought it from a carrier then its not. Unlocking the bootloader is when you'd see the lock icon when u boot up. That has nothing to do with carrier sim unlock.

If you're buying used then just ask the previous owner if he bought it straight from Google (best buy, etc) or from a carrier.

Hi!
I'm selling my Infuse and somebody ask me if the phone is unlocked. How do I know if the phone is unlocked? I know that is rooted with CM9, because I install it.
Thank you for the help.
Put a t mobile sim in it & see if it works (go to a t mobile store).
Or visit the ROM xda thread you flashed & read the op weather it unlocks it. My understanding was cm unlocks phone also

see my ISET page....on my sig
CM does not unlock your phone. There are instructions linked from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1610374 that explains how to do it. This is what I did, it worked fine. I've used my phone with three carriers on two continents without any problems.

These reps are referring to the unlocking to make it GSM capable not the unlocking of the bootloader.
Droid life has stated that to be false..Verizon won't be unlocking boot loader.
Why don't people look into it more before posting.
HI guys ,
i am really desperate
i have a verizon sumsung galaxy s3 SCH-I535 and it's network is locked i already rooted and unlocked it s bootloader but i need the code to unlock the network
PLEAAAAAAAAAAASE SOME HELP ME !
If you are not the original owner, you will have to have him/her get the code. It is phone/SIM specific and needs to be activated thru Verizon Customer Care.
Or, you could always try this ...

Can you please expand on what you need? Maybe I am too new and don't understand, but what is a network unlock code, why do you need it, and what is your phone status? Will it boot? Can you get into recovery or download mode?
