Thanks for the reply, but did you 1st root the phone and then unlocked it ?
It works even if you root your phone first.
Always wondering this. Now I know.

Rooting is not a problem for unlocking. You cannot be on a custom rom unless it was derived from an official rom release. If you are on an AOSP custom rom such as Cyanogen or MIUI you cannot unlock the phone until you flash back to an official rom or derivative thereof.

And in addition to that, after unlocking it you can go to an AOSP rom and you'll still be unlocked.

If I'm not mistaken, once you unlock your phone, it's a permanent unlock for the device.
Wouldn't matter what ROM you were on afterwards.

Not true at all. You can unlock while running CM. I've done it a few times, with a few different phones.

After searching around, it seems possible to root without unlocking the bootloader so you won't lose any data.
Here's the guide and another one.
Do note that those guides are written during gingerbread time, might not work in ics. besides, I haven't tested them myself, so do it at your own risk.
But I would still recommend you to make titanium backup after you gain root, unlock bootloader, and restore. This is in case you want to flash custom rom.
Thanks i didn't know I can root without unlocking the boot loader.

You can root without unlocking up until 4.0.3. Out of luck beyond this.
I think I'm screwed cause I have 4.0.4 and I cant a guide for rooting. fml

Just unlock the bootloader. They are just saved games. The apps are all there in Play, so just reinstall what you want.

As of the time of posting there is no public way to root 4.0.4 without unlocking on the Nexus S.

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.

Have you unlocked it? When you rooted, what process did you use? Since you said you're running JB on a Verizon SGS3, I would put money on your bootloader already being unlocked...
Hey guys I bought a new phone running gingerbread and it is carrier locked.
I can and have rooted it but just wanted to know can I install a custom rom like cyanogen mod without unlocking ?
(I don't mind if it still remains carrier locked)
Any help would be extremely appreciate
Yes you can as custom ROM has nothing to do with having to be unlocked pore not.
