What Roms work with Sim unlock?

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.

[Q] D2G not asking for unlock code

Hi
I bought D2G from ebay it was listed with bad esn.It's not asking unlock code or anything, reads the sim card, changes to global mode, connects to a network(jumps from one to another all the time) but no service when I try to dial a number says network not available. So what is wrong with my phone? is it unlock?something is wrong wit the radio? or what?

If it is not asking for network subsidy code, then it must be unlocked if it works with your sim. Make sure it is set to GSM/UMTS mode, not Global - if your sim is active you should get reception. At least on 2G (GSM). If you are not getting reception, something might be wrong with the phone.

It might also be running a custom ROM (unlock requests only work on Blurry ROMs afaik); another possibility is former owner going to the “hidden” menu and choosing “USA Band”.
In the latter case, you need to SBF.

thanks Gasai Yuno custom rom was the problem now it's on stock rom and is asking for unlock code. I'll try to unlock it thanks again

Good catch! I wouldn't thought somebody would sell their phone without bringing it factory default first..
Good luck to OP with the unlock codes - hopefully your phone won't turn out to be from those Verizon played with..

Ask much as I understand. it stop asking for unlock code because of Custom Rom. I have the same problem. What should I do to be able to enter unlock code with Custom Rom?

Flash the stock ROM.

I try to flash stock rom (kdz extension) but it doesn't work because my boot recovery is not stock recovery. What should I do to remove CWM recovery for my phone model LG Optimus G E973?

NEED HELP with Sim Network Unlock HTC 10

Hey guys,
I have a situation with my HTC 10. I have unlocked bootloader, and S-off via sunshine and installed Viper10. I recently purchased network unlock codes from HTCUnlockingservice.com but it wouldn't work when I restarted the phone with Verizon sim, so I had to go back to stock T-Mobile RUU. But I have the same problem, when I insert a foreign sim it doesn't promp me to enter unlock codes, instead I have a sim-lock icon in my status bar. The TMobile Device unlock App doesn't work either (it used to say incompatible with Viper10, now it says "failure in processing request. please reboot device and try again").
Can someone help me find a way around it ??
Is there a *# sequence to prompt unlock code entry ?? something like the *#06# is ed for IMEI...
Please help, going crazy over here
thanks

First, this is the correct message your phone should display and it should be unlocked by now.
However, there are a few things you could check:
1. Verify if the phone's IMEI is clean on websites like: http://imeipro.info
2. Remove any potential Region Lock (if your phone hasn't been used before, place a 5 min call with an accepted SIM card).
3. What message did you receive after inserting the code?

Moto G 7 Power - Is there a way to bypass Tmobile's unlock app?

I bought a Moto G 7 from T-Mobile 5 months ago, but now I'm travelling abroad and can't use any local sim card because its sim locked and T-Mobile's won't unlock it for me. Is there any way to bypass that application?
When I insert the new sim card I get a screen saying that I can unlock it remotely (it is denied on that app). All I need to how to type the code to unlock it.

I did id appreciate it alot

Hello. I`ll use this thread because of I have same issue. I flashed my metropcs with retail firmware and now it prompts me for code. Is it possible to be unlocked in that way?

So, just an update: I managed to replace the moto g power os, so now I have it debranded but it keeps asking for a code to unlock the sim card. I bought the Pantech UCC 2.0 (which was supposed to generate the code) but it didn't work. So now I'm looking for something to generate that code
If anyone got any tool or device that generates that for the moto g 7 power please let me know.

I`m in the same situation. But I`m even not sure that will evade the original unlock app.

After the debranding (installing the original os) the unlock app is no longer avaiable, so I get the default window asking for the code. Thing is I don't have the code

I mean I`m not sure that it is possible this phone to be unlocked by code since originally it is implemented to be unlocked by app.

I do believe it is possible since its the same screen I've seen on so many other apps. The unlock app was a mod Tmobile delivered with the version of the android operating system. When I replaced it, it went back to the default screen, so all I need now is a way to generate that code, it seems
