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!!!

If you're using the ASOP lock screen you swipe the padlock towards the Right. If you're using a TW lock screen just swipe anywhere on the screen

Please be more specific as to what unlock you are talking about. If you are just unlocking the Android system then a swipe left or right should do it.
If you are referring to hardware unlock then we need more information. Are you on ATT going to T-Mobile? Then you would need the unlock codes if I remember right.
ATT doesn't unlock skyrockets, they tell everyone I know with skyrockets, that its an exclusive phone so they don't have codes... I had to pay to get my unlock code http://www.cellunlocker.net/ is the place most people get theres unlocked, mine cost $28 to unlock

im guessing your talking about a network unlock, i easily got my phone unlocked from purchasing an unlock code off of ebay, it cost me like $7 and i got the code in 10minutes!
once you get the code all you need to do is insert and invalid sim card boot up your phone, once your phone rejects the sim it will ask for an unlock code, enter your unlock code and boom your unlocked!
For the ebay method, does that code have to be re entered whenever I flash my phone to a new rom? Or is it a permanent hardware unlock?

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.
Hey Everyone,
I am trying to get my phone unlocked and used the service of cellunlocker to get the unlock code. The code didnt worked though. Can someone suggest me a service to get the working unlock code. My phone is currently locked to rogers.
Make sure you use a foreign SIM card when unlocking, I tried the unlock code with my Rogers SIM in and it have me errors also.

Aha.. yeah.. that should be the problem. I was trying to enter the code with rogers sim inside.
Will try to re-enter it with foreign sim tommorow and will update. Thanks danifunker.
I had an unlock code from them. The actually unlock code is one of the 8 digit blocks in the middle of the code they sent you. The unlock code is only numbers, no letters.

The unlock code should be one of the 8 digit groups you noted. If they don't work, contact the seller.

Hey guys
I believe that it's time to end my p500 life and move for another device! And i have a question that I asked many times in many threads on xda but I had no answer. I hope you guys can help me. So, the question is : does rooting, factory reset, installing custom ROMs lock back an unlocked phone. I mean if I unlock my phone using code and then root it etc.. Will it be locked again?

I have not tried myself, because I never had to do this stuff. But I think, rooting has nothing to do with sim lock/unlock, its just about adding a su binary to your phone. However, factory reset and custom ROM might lock it back. But i dont think you need to worry about it, because you can again unlock it using the same code method.

Sorry, for my lack of information. I told you that I dont have the experience myself. But according to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34339504&postcount=7 you dont have to worry about unlocking again, once you unlock the phone in stock ROM, because it will remain unlocked even after flashing custom ROMs

The P500 doesn't have a locked bootloader like the newer Optimus devices, however it does have a carrier lock. Once any device is unlocked from a specific carrier the device remains unlocked no matter what ROM gets flashed to the device. You could flash CM or AOKP and then back to stock if you wanted and the carrier lock would remain unlocked. All the carrier lock does it tie that device to a specific service provider ( AT&T, T-Mobile, etc. ). Once unlocked, since the P500 is a GSM device I believe, then that device can be used with any service provider that also utilizes a GSM network.
The reason carrier unlocking must be done from a stock ROM is the fact that any custom ROM won't have access to the devices hidden menu. The hidden menu can only be accessed thru the stock dialer app on a stock ROM. And the carrier unlock procedure is done via the LG hidden menu.
