Hi
I bought a D800 on ebay. Waiting for delivery now.
Plan to install CloudyG3 rom on it. Plan to use it outside US.
There are several questions(I'll tried to find answer for my question but i couldn't):
1) Should I buy sim unlock code if i will be install CloudyG3 rom? Or i will be have sim unlock by default in Cloudy?
2) Should I buy sim unlock code and enter it in stock rom, before i will be install CloudyG3 rom? Or i can enter unlock code after installing CloudyG3 rom?
3) What is Unlock? What's going on in the system when i enter unlock code?
Thx!

Just got a HTC Fuze P4600, and I unlocked it using an official unlock code I got for free by calling AT&T. It is now running T-Mobile.
The ROM version thats on it is like 1.x, and I wanna upgrade using the official HTC ROM update from their website.
MY QUESTION is if I upgrade my ROM, will I lose my SIM unlock, because I dont have the code.
Thanks.
Yes it may effect.
However you can flash any custom Rom.
In case if you ever get SIM lock back on phone just keep unlock with you & flash official Rom from T-mobile and use unlock code again.

It will work with any rom and it is permanent.

Unlock the phone by putting in a non T-Mobile sim and turning on the phone. The code entry box will appear. Unlock it now before flashing a custom roms. Most customs roms don't have the necessary code to perform the unlock. But once you have unlocked it you never have to do it again no matter what rom you flash.
I own lg p500h and when I enter 2945#*500# it doesn't work' .it doesn't open the unlock sim card code box for me what should I do?
You are probably on a custom rom. Maybe this code only works on stock rom(or those based on stock).
So, I think you could either try
Reverting to stock and then unlocking your sim
or
Unlocking your sim through another phone

Hi,
I have the same problem - do you have a solution?
I've found on the thread below answers regarding unlocking the sim card - that's not the case I think : I bought a new sim card from a different provider and trying to unlock the LG phone from its previous provider...
Thanks.
Check System settings -> About phone -> Model number. If it says something other than 500, use that number to get to the hidden menus.

That code won't work on any custom rom, make a nandroid, flash a stock rom, or a rom based on stock like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574523 then enter the code and the unlock menu should pop up.
I bought a Samsung J7 from a provider (iusacell mx), I want to use it with another provider (telcel mx) but is locked for the original provider. My question is: if I install a custom rom (twrp) it will unlock it? Or I should first go to the provider to unlock and then install the rom?
Thanks in advance!
Custom ROM does not unlock the phone.
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
