Hi everyone.
I don't know if its even possible but need to create the SIM CARRIER LOCK again.
When i unlock the bootloader i "erase" the sim carrier lock (guess happen to everyone) and that is awesome but know i need my phone to be carrier lock again.
Don't need that to be forever, i like it unlocked . If that is a way to fake it it's ok but need to be hidden and need to persist after reboot.
I know it's strange but i really need it... I already flash my nandroid backup from the stock rom, flash a stock recovery and lock the bootloader, still unlocked!
Anyone knows how to do it?
Thanks!
(And sorry for my bad English)

By Sim carrier lock, do you want to relock your boot loader or do you want to restrict your phone to using the same Sim as it came with?

Well there is a way but idk if its works use J-Tag or Riff-Box it will make your phone fully as it was came in the box. My friend used it on his HTC Wildfire S and he made the phone back to factory defaults i mean the bootloader, the software it was fully restored and the Sim Branding was also restoted!

Yea, but if you do root you'll carrier unlock your phone and be rooted plus saves you about 20 bucks or so from buying a unlock code

You can call AT&T and they will give you the unlock code for free. I did it yesterday for my phone.

hi bluizzo.. i got tmobile.. but i bought the phone from craigslist. so far, i've re-rooted and s-off the phone. i installed 'android revolution' ROM, and i still cant make any calls. i really dont understnad this.
i think at this point i'll get an unlock code. hopefully this will work. but will an unlock code work on a custom rom?

i really wish you would take 5 minutes to let all this sink in.....
you seem hellbent on NOT listening to the advice of others, but i will waste my breath anyway:
YOU WERE UNLOCKED
if you root, YOU WILL BE UNLOCKED
custom rom, stock rom, it doesnt matter
have you bothered trying to get TMobile to replace your freakin sim as suggested?
have you done ANYTHING that anyone has suggested to you aside from flashing a custom rom?
no
you fail to listen
you seem to think an unlock code is going to help you...its not
run the hack kit, get s-off and flash a rom of your choice. walk into a freaking TMobile store, and ask for a new freaking SIM card
have THEM help you understand why its not dialing out....you got it to call out a few times...THAT MEANS YOU WERE UNLOCKED!!
if it was locked, you would get NO signal, NO data, NOTHING AT ALL....you wouldnt even be able to make a phone call once!!
why dont you understand that?? why cant you grasp that??
as i asked you before, you are aware that you will NOT get 3G/4G data right??
can someone here tell me why i'm not able to call out even though i'm unlocked? someone else had this problem also.. he has the same situation like me.

well, since your threads are so spread out....its impossible to keep up with what you have actually done for troubleshooting. if i remember right, you never flashed a new radio...
A new radio wouldn't matter. I got a question trappz do you have signal. If you have signal go into T-Mobile and request the new simcard. But you will still not get 3g/4g data due to the different base and frequencies they run off.

hi, hiyabuz.. i dont have signal... but when i get signal, its there for like 4 secs then it disappears.. and i already tried using another friend's sim card. hes got tmobile.. and that didnt work either.
Ok that right there is telling us that your network is being blocked or your just in a very low coverage area for edge which is their bottom teir data/signal. This phone is not compatable with all of T-Mobiles network so your service can be shotty. It's worth a shot of getting a new sim or doing a new radio flash which could boost your service. If that doesn't work we can always try and troubleshoot more to see if the phone is just bad.

well i installed a "factory" rom (note the quotes) to replace the custom rom on it so i can s-on and unroot. the link to that "factory" rom is:
RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_Radio _12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M
but when i go into hboot, i still find my phone is s-off and rooted.
i dont understand why the above rom is "factory" when its really not. then someone suggested i run a 'gene poole tool' to reset to factory an d get s-on and unroot.. but i think i ran that before cuz i got that tool on my desktop. this is getting to be one of the worst experiences i ever had on any phone.
i'll let you know what happens.
The rom didn't give you s-on because when you use gfree to get s-off (which the hack kit does) you have to use gfree to get s-on. You should use this to get s-on:

The ruu is factory. If you don't believe me go to HTC website and the download is there as well. The ruu rom doesn't touch soff. You are unrooted though

Hi,
I tried to use the one-click bootloader unlock at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734558 several times, but it did not work with my phone (Telstra HTC One XL) due to an invalid token, so I ended up going through HTCDev.
Problem is, although the bootloader is now unlocked, I now have the same problem as this person: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28045161&postcount=42.
Is there any way to fix this or am I screwed? The phone works fine, except I no longer have 4G/LTE. I have already tried to restore my original partitions that I backed up, but it doesn't re-enable 4G.
Sounds like a bug HTC needs to know about.
Why not try rooting then unlocking directly at HTCDev.com without using this script?

Reflashed RUU, same problem. I've convinced the telco to send it in to HTC for a repair... doubt they'll do anything as the bootloader clearly says "Relocked" and I logged into HTCDev.

you check your imei # in the software and make sure it matches what it should be (it's physically etched into your sim tray)?
I have an unlocked bootloader and 4g/lte is working fine with cleanrom 4.1 and the 1.88 radio here in nyc area. Got 45/11 in flushing queens on lte.

Hey guys I won a Xperia T and tried to get the phone unlocked but I believe I accidentally entered the wrong unlock code to many times, I wanted to know if rooting the phone and installing a Rom will solve the simlock problem?
the phone is from Rogers don't know if that's relevant information

Rooting won't solve that!
Maybe a custom Rom could!
You never know until you try!
Btw get a proper code again and unlock it!

Nope. The lock on the sim card is separate from anything the ROM does. You'll have to contact your service provider to get an unlock code. Assuming the phone is legitimately yours, it is a very simple and quick operation.
Hello, my name is Armando. This is my first post here, and I only have one question. First of all I want to say thanks to all you guys, I've found a lot of useful stuff here for my phone Ok, let's go for it:
I recently unlocked my Huawei Y511 to use it on any carrier, and it was succesful (I didn't unlock it by myself, a repairman did it). The problem is... my phone still got all the original carrier stuff (boot animation, some crappy apps and sounds) and I want to delete all of them. I rooted my phone before the unlock (temporary root which I found in this same forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276) and I leave all the stock ROM untouched before the unlock. I noticed that the guy who unlocked it used a "unlock box" named "SigmaBox" and he told me that my phone was able to be unlocked directly, without needing to wipe and reinstall all the software (I give him the phone, then one hour later I have my phone all unlocked, and it was the same way it was before it).
Now my question is... if I install a new ROM or whatever... will I lose my sim unlock?
I don't understand how he unlocked the phone, all I know is that he did a "direct unlock" but I don't know if he used unlocking codes. All I know is that he used some kind of USB box connected from my phone to a computer, and did his magic and surprise, phone unlocked.
Do you know what kind of unlock is this? And how does it work?
PD: Sorry for my bad english, my native language is spanish but I'm trying to improve my english skills (so I didn't use a translator).
I don't know much about unlocking. But I'm pretty sure that you won't loose the unlock status if you flash custom rom

Thanks for your reply, and yeah, I think you are right.
After doing a little research, I found that a "direct unlock" is basically the generation and input of unlocking codes generated by both IMEI and carrier code, and the unlock box generated three codes which only one of them worked and the phone gets unlocked. So, my phone is
unlocked for ever and I won't lose my unlock status even if I install/update/reinstall the ROM.
If any of you guys know something else about this unlock procedure, please let us know!
Hi, is there any way, how to do it for free? My Friend wants this phone as a backup phone, but it is locked to a network he is not using anymore. I have tried a few sim unlock programes, but nothing worked. The phone is not worth much, so unlock for free or a bin. Pls help.

Looks like the bin is calling... I'll just have a last look around first...
