Unlocking and rooting are separate things.

Hey I have an Inspire 4G that has been unlocked and I am using it on T-Mobile. I want to root and flash a new rom but I don't want to loose my unlock. SO my question is.... Will rooting and flashing a custom rom undo my unlock?
Thanks in advance!
I am not 100% shure but I have no clue how could flashing a CUSTOM rom undo a unlock. Could only CAUSE an unlock... (not shure on that as well)

The rooting process also SIM unlocks the device. You will still be unlocked after a successful root

Thank you! Rooting and Gingerbreading my device now!
I just want to confirm that rooting and flashing a custom rom will not undo your unlock! In fact I have been getting better signal with t-mobile since the root and rom!
I go through phones on a weekly basis but I have to say that this phone is awesome! I think it may stay with me for a while.
METHOD 1: I purchased an unlock code that wroked first try....
COST $22
I would like to share my experience for those who do not want to get scammed.
IT WILL TAKE 24 hrs AT LEAST with these guys so don't set your pants on fire waiting !!! I have used this site for all my phones.
Send an email [email protected]. Send IMEI and carrier details, country of carrier.
Then use code to unlock. If you need help entering code please post back.
METHOD 2: I HAVE NOT TRIED THIS. BUT There is another method to unlock the phone using a USB hack. This has worked for most people who tried it. It involves running software on your computer to replace the unlock code location via USB with zeros. This method is covered here in more details:

The ebay method seems to work for now. it can run from $15 -$17.

Nope. Unlocked is when you can use it on a carrier other than At&t. With the skyrocket you have to buy an unlock code. Bloatware is removed in custom roms.

Welcome !
They are different things. Unlocking is SIM card unlocking that then allows you to use your phone on any GSM network.
Removing bloatware requires "rooting". You get access to system files etc. allowing you to modify the software on there.
This a good starting point for Skyrocket to modify software:

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 have to be on the contract for 3 months, then they will allow you.
I just wanna root it so I can delete all the bloatware but I'm afraid my phone will not reconize the service of verizon wireless since I'm unlocking the bootloader. I just wanna know, if I unlock my bootloader, can I still place phone calls, text, and use data like if nothing ever happened

lol thank you, i'm not new to rooting or unlocking bootloaders from virgin mobile but I am new on unlocking bootloaders from verizon so thanks
Bootloaders shouldn't affect service at all. Its not like a radio or anything. Also for clarification, in order to flash anything at all the bootloader has to be unlocked. Everyone on this forum has unlocked at some point.

Hello guys,
It's the first time i'm unlocking a samsung device and i was wondering if the carrier unlock by IMEI code will keep my phone unlocked even if i flash different roms or a custom rom.
Cheers.
