You most likely have to unlock the phone to use it on other carriers, the code may or may not be free.
Or you can use SIM unlock method by gfree, free of charge.

There have been a lot of issues with the MT4G not unlocking 100% with gfree....best bet is to get an unlock code and then root or do whatever you want for mods.
Just my two cents

Where to get unlock code? I have my my4g now

If you use the gfree method, you don't need an unlock code.

Hi buddy's
Today got my skyrocket, im moving from a Galaxy Ace and found (im foreing) that i need an unlock code to use it (crap).
I got my code, its working ..my question is: if i root the phone or flash any other rom..
1- Will need to buy another code? At every flash i do ?
2- Or can use my code to unlock it forever in this device even flashing ?
3- why is needed a code? Which is the difference or utility in this?
Thank you guys, hope you can help me out of this because i want to start to develop in the forum and share amazing stuff

flashing roms should not relock your phone but if it does your unlock code should work to unlock it again.

It only "allows" by IMEI configurations the use of foreign sim cards right? Thanks mate!!!

METHOD 1: I purchased an unlock code that wroked first try....
COST $22
I would like to share my experience for those who do not want to get scammed.
IT WILL TAKE 24 hrs AT LEAST with these guys so don't set your pants on fire waiting !!! I have used this site for all my phones.
Send an email [email protected]. Send IMEI and carrier details, country of carrier.
Then use code to unlock. If you need help entering code please post back.
METHOD 2: I HAVE NOT TRIED THIS. BUT There is another method to unlock the phone using a USB hack. This has worked for most people who tried it. It involves running software on your computer to replace the unlock code location via USB with zeros. This method is covered here in more details:

User experience is also available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25480419#post25480419
The ebay method seems to work for now. it can run from $15 -$17.

Nope. Unlocked is when you can use it on a carrier other than At&t. With the skyrocket you have to buy an unlock code. Bloatware is removed in custom roms.

Welcome !
They are different things. Unlocking is SIM card unlocking that then allows you to use your phone on any GSM network.
Removing bloatware requires "rooting". You get access to system files etc. allowing you to modify the software on there.
This a good starting point for Skyrocket to modify software:

The flames are most definitely on the way haha. And yes, no 'free' my unlock method. You can buy a code though or try to get one through ATT.

I just called AT&T and said I got it off someone on craigslist, I'm using T-Mobile. They asked for the IMEI and BAM, unlock code.
Also a plus I can get 4G signal. :thumbup:

My SR is unlocked
My wife has taken her SR home to Thailand a few times. She buys a SIM and one month data plan, puts the SIM in her SR and it's fully functional; data, text, voice. It's rooted, custom ROM, but never used an unlock code on it.

you cant unlock sim by rooting
you can unlock sim by buying code on ebay for $0.99 though, if your phone has at&t logo on it.

Rooting and Sim unlock are unrelated to each other. You need to purchase a sim unlock code (or go through AT&T) to unlock the GSM carrier.
That sucks...for a HTC inspire phone, i was able to unlock and root at the same go using the software from xda

You mean root and unlock.... the bootloader?
Totally different "unlocking" of the phone.
As souljaboy & moofree said, the subsidy (carrier, SIM, whatever) unlock is only through the carrier (like AT&T) or buying a code online..
Sent from my phone's mind
As alteredlikeness told you there are different kind of unlocks
1) Sim Unlock: so that you can use any sim card, you can get the code from the network provider that you bought the mobile from, alternatively you can get the code at ebay or any other local sim unlock experts, I assume you are from India, like here in Hyderabad there are few in Jagdish Market, only few of them are legit like Metro Mobiles.
Then there is the dreaded 2) Bootloader and it's unlocking: With which we can flash (install) custom kernels and thus CyanogenMods, MIUIs, AOKPs and all..
and I humbly let you know that, if you are talking about Sim unlock procedures, this is not the place to come, XDA is all about mods, ROMs, Bricks(!) and everything in between.
and if you are talking about Bootloader unlock, unfortunately the hard working devs here have not found a way yet to unlock it, really hope that they will eventually prevail.
and either way, just merely rooting doesn't unlock anything, either network lock or bootloader, rooting is a process where you get superuser access.. which is kind of Admin access to your Windows OS, which is required to install few apps and also to dig down into the android OS.
Thanks for listening! have a great day.

Yes, we need some good devs apart from the ones who ported the 2 roms....
I used htcdev to unlock the bootloader and then flashed SuperSu but i got a buggy root looks like.
Also having issues with the sdcard write problem created by google...
I'm trying to sort out my kinks to set it up as per my liking using xposed modules etc...

I have permanent root. You have to unlock bootloader for that and then flash SuperSu as i mentioned earlier.
There is no method without unlocking bootloader. I tried a lot, none of the other exploits worked,, unless you want to spend

Yes, unlocking bootloader will void the warranty,, and also if you unlock it , then relocking is possible but it will never bring it back to its original state....

Yeah bro... Actually i had unlocked ? my bootloader and backed up DRM keys (require root) but after 2 months my power button was not working properly....
What i did..
Restore DRM & relocked bootloader and flash the stock rom.... And then send it to service center and they also fix the issue for free!!
So is there any way to gain the warranty back like in samsung we can clear flash counters by "triangle away" app... And here in sony with DRM method??

Hmm... I wonder. Is it okay to pick up a single sim version? Looks like everyone has dual sim here and I'm a little worried when ROMs do get ported, it might not work on the single sim version. Would it work anyway? Or do I really have to go for the dual sim?
