When rooting the phone it does unlock your phone? I have been looking across some sites saying that it does or it does not. Also the ace hack kit does unlock your phone.
I thought it does because when you flash a Rom it cause what carriers.
Other ? Is I also notice the sim tool kit but when I click on it it says its not ready or supported. Just wondering why its not.working I did come.across http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIM_Application_Toolkit
Overall I don't.need to unlock my phone cause its already unlocked. And the sim tool kit its nothing major.

No rooting your phone does not unlock it. But the ace hack kit does unlock it. Most sim tool kits do not work as they were not made for updated phones

Ok when I rooted my phone I rooted by a tut video and it was the buddys root method lol I never used the ace hack kit before. Im downloading the AHK to see, I can still use that even though I used a different method? The AHK it self does the unlocking method from what I can see...
If I just wanted to unlock it i could just get the unlock code and go from their but I know you have to get a non accepted sim card.
If you are already rooted it's not recommended to use the ace hack kit. You'll have to unroot first.

If you are rooted, then you are probably Sim unlock. As Pazz told you, don't use the Hack Kit, you will get jammed. First, check is you are already sim lock by using the method in point 5 of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
If that is not working, then you can revert to stock using the Hack Kit and re rooting...that will give you sim unlock....
O wasnt going to use the hack kit just saying. I also came across in the dev part for the stock ruu and shows how to go back to out of the box phone status. But there is couple of ways to revert back to stock phone lol so many choices
Cause I was thinking about selling my HTC inspire and was also looking to see how unroot the phone to go back to stock

Does anyone know if having the phone unlocked by a code BEFORE you root it makes a difference? I purchased this phone about a month ago and I had no intention to root it so I purchased an unlock code from Blowfish Unlocks. Now i'm trying to root it using attn1's Hack Kit and I've followed the readme word-for-word. I've had trouble downgrading it for the last week so I put a post on Craigslist to see if anyone could help, I though I wasn't doing it right. The guy that was helping me had the exact problem.
For some reason we could not downgrade using the hack kit. But once we tried Bubby's Super One Click, no problem downgrading. But for now we cant get it to root. It goes through all the steps but it fails at the end. I'm still on the downgraded ROM but no audio will come out of my phone. I'm at a loss here.
Anyone know of a way around this?
Is this because i have the phone SIM unlocked before I rooted?
I dont think the unlock code makes a difference. Have you tried running step 3 of the hack kit again now that your on the downgraded rom?
I'm assuming the when you days steps failed that was with bubbys.
I'm not familiar with bubbys. Tool so you can ignore this if this is what it uses. Another alternate is using visionary to temp and permanent root then using jkoljo easy radio tool gain soff.(this is how how DHD brothers root)
I bought a captivate and I want to use at T-mobile. So how do I root and unlock before I put in a sim? It doesn't allow me to use sim and market, so I need to root and unlock before I can use. thanks.

You need a program called Super One Click. This one program will unlock and root your phone.

To go a little farther on ^^^.
SuperOneCick will root the phone( it will aslo have the option to allow third party apps. I would recommend do that).
From there, you need an app called Galaxy S Unlock by Helroz. You can get it from the market. After completing that, your phone will be rooted and unlocked.

I never could get that to work for me. Others may have different experiences.
You can use the phone and market without SIM card just fine.
In my case, Superoneclick will root the phone but I then had a hard time getting the unlock code, might because the phone had stock 2.2 on it. Galaxy S Unlock returned FFFFFFF while hex editing let me pass the pin input screen but the phone was still locked.
Finally bought a code for $0.99 on eBay and got it unlocked. Well worth it, especially after I spent 3 hours and almost screwed up nv_data.bin/IMEI.
I rooted my inspire back in May(?) using Bubby323's Simple Root method. I've searched to see if that method included SIM Unlock but it seems as though most of those threads were deleted. I read most roots for the Inspire included this but I want to be sure before I list my phone as unlocked when trying to sell. Everyone around me has AT&T so I cant swap SIMs to verify.

I just looked at the thread and it doesnt say anything about unlocking the sim
Getting two things confused, sorry.
In hboot, what happens if you select Simlock? Does it lock the Sim, or verify if you are locked or not?
I believe it locks the sim
If I remember right from the old manual sim unlocking days it is all zeros to be unlocked
Well i tried it, it said something about file failed and something else failed. What did that mean?

Bubby's used gfree to root and so should do SIM unlocking as well. If you absolutely want to verify it, then you can send modem AT commands directly to your radio to verify. See this article:

It's been rooted and S-Off, and I currently have ICS installed (IceColdSandwich 8.2).
But does that mean that it's SIM unlocked, in that this phone can be used on any carrier?
I don't have a non-AT&T SIM card to test it on hand.

Like Nick says...if you used the Hack Kit and u are S-OFF then you are sim unlocked. But if you want to verify, u can use this (Point 5):

Take into consieration that sim unlock does not work with all sims....mine works perfectly in Argentina with my company but not all companies work.

I don't quite remember if I used the hack kit... any recourse if I run the hack kit right now, despite my phone already being S-OFF and Rooted, just to make sure that it's SIM unlocked?
^ Assuming running gfree_verify_v01.zip using ADB Shell shows that simlock has failed.

That is weird, from what I knew (that is not a warranty..:cyclops if you are S-OFF you have to be sim unlock....If you want to re run the S-OFF and root, you can revert back to stock and S-ON and then run the Hack Kit...:good:

Don't re run the hack kit if you're already rooted, bad things will happen. Set it back to stock and then reroot

I have spent hours on here reading and looking.. Everything seems to be outdated or questionable. I'm sorry if this is something I should of been able to find. I've looked.. Just send me to a link if you need to.
Questions:
If I root the phone will it be carrier unlocked?
If not.. What do I need to do to get it carrier unlocked?
What I've already done.
Unlocked the boot loader with HTCDEV.
HTC seems to be more so complicated than most. Sorry.
Neither rooting nor unlocking the bootloader will unlock the SIM card. That needs to be done separately. I've never used it, but I think AAHK2 does unlock the SIM.
Unlock With Desire HD ruu?

My buddy kirn had a inspire 4g he stated he found an unlock method that although was rather intensive worked 100% it involved flashing a htc desire hd stock unbranded ruu WARNING I dot have details and flashing a ruu not intended for your device CAN BRICK IT
