My friend needs a custom ROM with working SIM Toolkit (stk.apk), so a SIM with two numbers can be used. Do you know of any such Desire S ROM, even stock, supporting it?

I have a G2x rooted and running Weapon 2.4 and have entered the sim unlock code in a previous rom ( stock rooted ). I want to use the phone with a gophone prepaid sim when I go to Mexico. What roms work with the sim unlock? The phone now does not read the sim card.
Thanks in Advance

CM7 will definitely work, not so sure about the stock based roms though
Any rom should work once the phone is unlocked. If the rom cannot read the sim card then I would try another rom. Or your sim card took a dump.
any rom will work
th eunlock is hardware unlock not a software
i t unlocks the hardware to support any sim - i use an unlocked phone in india
once it unlocks it is unlocked for ever
any sim any network any rom u can try it will work fine
Use a stock ROM

First of all, you have to obtain unlocked code. You can obtain from T-Mobile if you passed 3 months after you requested last unlocked code, and the phone passed 14 days (30 days in CA) trial. It is recommended to request it through online chat to ensure it's 100% correct (you can obtain your IMEI by key in *#06# from dial. Make sure you triple-check it).
After you obtained your unlocked code, go to dialer (you don't have to have foreign SIM but it is recommended to test) and input
2945#*999#
(this method works with ANY LG GSM Android phone because #*xxx# is actually your phone model. For example, Optimus T is P509 then #*509# and G2x is P999 so #*999#)
Enter unlock code correctly. Once you verified everything is correct, you can press the button below, and the phone will reboot, then the phone is unlocked.

When I swapped SIM in CM7 based ROM, the unlock screen kept crashing and was scared because thought a CRASH=WRONG CODE Entered.
I Flashed to EB 2.3.3 Stock and it worked. Phone rebooted after the code was entered. Message said "Network Unlock Failed"
I had an extra SIM to test and verified it did work. Again I did it without swapping SIM but better to do it on a STOCK cooked ROM.

Oh, and also, ANY ROM will work with the SIM you enter
As long as the APN gets properly you are fine.
I unlocked my phone to try Straight Talk. APN had to be modified to make MMS/DATA work. Again, this was a special case cause I'm not suppose to use ST SIM on a non-ST phone.
I recently installed Android Revolution HD on my Sensation 4G and love it. But before i did so, i followed one of the fine guides on this site to sim unlock my phone. I did that on a rooted stock rom though. I'm guessing it didn't stick since I flashed a new firmware, radio, and rom.
Am I wrong? Does the AR HD rom come sim unlocked? Or should i just follow the guide again?
Just a note: I am on T Mobile and and have no other sims to use. Sim unlocking is more out of curiosity and preparing for the possibility of not using T Mobile anymore in the future.
If unlocking was succesful it remains sim unlocked. At least you can try to unlock again while rooted.
At my knowledge custom roms are never sim locked.
I put cyanogenmod 10 on my HTC One S.
I sent the phone to my cousin in DR (Dominican Republic) upon arrival we realized I made a big mistake. I didn't SIM unlock the phone.
I went online and found a website that does it for cheap: Cellunlocker.net
I got the code, sent it to my cousin, and he told me "it's not working".
I then looked on here (XDA) and found a "do it yourself method" for unlocking the SIM. Basically you input a command in Superuser and the phone gives you a number. You take that number and the IMEI number and you can calculate the SIM unlock code based on those numbers.
We ended up getting the same number that Cellunlocker.net sent us.
Could it be that Cyanogenmod is blocking my cousin from unlocking the phone?
PS. I have a video of my cousin unlocking the device (and failing) here: http://www.bodyctrl.com/stuff/unlock1.MOV
On the SIM unlock thread they mention it might not work if you're not on a sense rom. But you only need to be on a sense rom until you're unlocked and then you can go back to whatever you want.

just flash a stock rom on the phone, stock odex/deodex use unlock code then once done flash back to CM10.
SUCCESS!
This issue was resolved.
I installed a Sense Based ROM and performed a SIM Unlock on the device. The device then rebooted.
I then installed CM 10.
Device works perfectly fine now on any network of my choice.

I tried the same but didn't work. What Sense based ROM did you install?

I used the stock Sense (4.1) that shipped with the phone (after rooting) to do the sim unlock. Custom roms based on sense may have their own problems.

Have you tried the first step of ordering an unlock code yet? I'm unsure why this didn't work for the OP but if you continue to have issues, I'd suggest it.

Ahh. Might be just that. I tried ViperDroid and didn't work. The problem is that I didn't backup my shipped rom (shame on me), is there any way I can workaround this (e.g. is there any stock rom for me to download)?

Since the code I got from sim unlock procedure didn't work, I ordered a code. I ended up wit the same code.
So I just got my awesome Nexus 5 in the mail.
I am still waiting on my Straight Talk SIM Card to activate it.
New to GSM so never really dealt with SIM card stuff before.
Is it safe to set everything up on the phone, root it, flash ROMs etc before I activate the phone?
Yes it's safe. I would unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery, then make a nandroid. Also, save the nandroid off the phone. Then have fun
Thanks for the speedy advice!!
I believe I got the unlock code for my One S while it was stock/rooted, but Im on a custom rom and was wanting to switch carriers to an ATT MNVO.
Can I just pop the new sim in and it will prompt me for the sim unlock code on the custom rom Im running right now? Its with 2.16 hboot using the Viper Rom / Sense 5. Or will I need to do a complete reset of the phone to bring it back to stock first?
Thanks
As far as I know, it's best to unlock your device on a stock rom. Once it's unlocked you won't need to do it a second time since it's permanent.
I had some trouble unlocking my device on different custom roms, just as i went back to a rooted stock rom the unlock worked.
