Hi, I am on T-mobile and trying to purchase an HTC One m8 which is rooted and locked to AT&T. Would it be possible to get the cellphone unlocked even though it is already rooted while on AT&T? I found a service on ebay which provides unlock codes for $3 but in their description it mentions that I should not try to purchase the code if my device is already rooted. I am a complete noob when it comes to android so please explain in detail. I searched around on google and in other threads but was unable to find a definitive answer to my question. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I can't answer your question about the unlock code BUT you probably can unroot the phone and flash the stock firmware before using the code.

Can some tell me if I can use this pone on at&t if it is rooted and unlocked? I couldnt find the answer anywhere. Thanks
Edit: never mind, but thanks. I found my answer.
I've got my atrix rooted running android 2.3.4 and am looking to unlock it to use with t-mobile. I'm not trying to pay to get it unlocked if theres a free way, but I will if i have to. Also if I unlock the bootloader and use a custom rom will it automatically be unlocked? I've searched and couldn't find any info. Any help will be greatly appreciated

Lets say you found a free SIM unlock for the Atrix and use it for T-mobile, the phone will only get 2g because it doesn't support T-Mobile’s 3g bands 1700/2100. (technically its the 1700mhz band that the Atrix doesn't support).
Hope this gives you some insight.
Honestly anything will work for now. But thanks dude, learned something new
Oh and bump
you might have found this already if you continued your search but

Hello,
I have a AT&T i727 SkyRocket Galaxy S2, I'm currently trying to unlock the phone. I purchased an unlock code from CellUnlocker.net. I'm unable to unlock the phone doesnt give me an error besides unsuccessful unlock. I tried getting help from CellUnlocker.net, very nice people but problem is it seems like they never ran in to this issue before. I was told I had to be on a certain baseband (modem ver.), I was also told i had to be on a stock Rom..
I have searched the forums and i was unable to find answers.
I read around that "usb unlock" is easier and better way to unlock it, I just dont know how to do that or who provides that service.
My question has anyone had any issues unlocking this version of the Galaxy S2 ?
Is there a simpler way of unlocking this phone ?
Any other recommendations of websites that can provide a USB unlock ?

It should be sim unlocked out of the box. Have you stuck a sim in the phone and tried to add Telus APNs?
The only root exploit available for the VRUDNE1 4.4.2 OTA is to use Towelroot. There is no bootloader unlock available for this OTA which means there is no chance for AOSP nor downgrading the firmware to anything prior to 4.4.2. Safestrap is available but you would only be able to dual boot another VRUDNE1 based rom, nothing else.

Of course it didn't, the sim card would belong to the previous owners phone number etc. You need a sim from your carrier with your info, phone number etc. See my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58582227
I bought a galaxy s5 used and found out that it is sim locked through sprint. After trying to unlock it I also found out that sprint is one of a carrier that u can`t unlock! I was told that it can be rooted to work with other carriers and I think that xda has instructions on how to do this. I`m not a programmer or developer but I do investigate and try my best to learn. It would be appreciated if someone could help me.
Thanks Vesten

View this forum in a browser on PC or on your phone,,look for the XDA search bar that says "search all forums".
In that bar, type:
"Sprint Galaxy S5 root"
Then you will find what you are looking for, you'll also find more information and possibly custom development for you device.
