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.
Hi,
I bought a brand new Desire S today off someone as it was an unwanted upgrade. The phone was locked on Orange UK and the before I bought it off the person they purchased an unlock code and had someone from a shop unlock the phone. The phone is unlocked and works on O2 UK perfectly. My question is if I was to root my device and s-off (which i've only just heard/read about as this is my first HTC) and install custom ROMs via CWM would my unlock still work?
I apologise if this is noob question.
Thanks

SIM unlock and bootloader unlock are two completely different things. You will not lose SIM unlock by rooting / custom ROM installation. Go ahead and have fun.

Hi. i m a little confused about phone unlocking. i m on Three UK with a HTC phone which is carrier locked. so no other sim is gonna be used on that phone. if i unlock the boot loader via HTCdev and after that i install/flash a custom rom, will it stay locked? even after flashing another ROM? and can someone tell me how the carriers put a lock on their devices?
thank u.
Hello, I just bought an Alcatel Onetouch idol 3, from my Romanian provider(Vodafone), as I saw in other threads over here, everyone's talking about sim unlocking on websites, but my question is..
Is there any way to unlock the sim via bootloader, or flashing another firmware ?
Thank you
I also tought of the next way:
Unlock bootloader via WinDroid, gain the supercid, then use the windows update utillity to make an firmware update to an unlocked firmware
What you think ?

No one has reported on this forum to my knowledge a successful sim unlocking from a provider purchased idol 3. Here in USA it comes out unlocked from Amazon. I think you are confusing bootloader and sim unlock because I know of no "firmware" method of sim unlocking short of having the unlock code....although I certainly could be wrong Since you have only so many tries the best method is get your provider to give you the unlock code. Here in the USA you can get one from your provider if your account is in good standing and it's been 90 days since your last request. Most folks tell them they are going overseas and want to be able to use the phone....something similar might work for you?.
I went to my provider, and checked it there, the unlocking code was 60e, because the contract was still available, anyway..
I went to a GSM, and the guy took me 10e to unlock it xD
Actually have ATT A9(CID is BS-US001) with unlocked bootloader , root and s-off. after flashing unlocked ROM 1.57.617.52 still ask me for unlock code when i insert anouther sim. with ATT sim work properly. never see that before. Need your ideas. in getprop [gsm.network.type]: [Unknown]. so may be need to cnange gsm.version.baseband????
Thank in advise!
You have to get an unlock code from AT&T and unlock it yourself. Flashing a rom isn't going to sim unlock your phone.

There's no rom that unlocks your phone. Call att and request an unlock code.

i have an unlock code but...... the phone not accepted it. may be need brick it totally and then flash it. i am s-off.
Ahhh I thought you were trying to unlock the phone by flashing a rom lol. All you need to do is go back to any stock rom you want and then put the non ATT Sim in, use the unlock code, and then flash whatever other rom you want
