Carrier/SIM locking has nothing to do with the ROM or root or bootloader.

Hey,
If i change the rom of a xperia does the sim lock (only working from 1 operator) will it dissapear? What can I do to remove sim lock on the phone?
Changing your ROM will not simunlock your phone. Your carrier may give you the code to do it, or their are websites that you pay for an unlock code. Most of them are fairly cheap ($5-$10). The most expensive one I have seen is for the Note which is $25. That being said, once you are sim unlocked, changing a ROM or doing a factory reset will not re-lock the Sim.
Can unlocked s4 be updated to kitkat without re-locking?

Hi.. I have a 4.3 running, unlocked i377m(Canadian s4). It was not factory unlocked. I made it unlocked in a small store. It was rooted when i got it back. Is there any way to update it by flashing to kitkat? I cant get any updates from about phone menu. It says its phone is modded and can't update.
Any help would be appreciated!!
Thanks in advance
I recently upgraded my phone to replace my Galaxy S3. I still have it rooted and bootloader unlocked, with 4.3 ROM
I was wondering, if this phone is already unlocked for international use? Or do i still have to take it in to a VZW to do their magic?
Also, do i need another Sim card from vzw or how exactly does the phone work for international usage?
Hey I'm a shop keeper and I bought 5 galaxy s4 at&t from market which are already unlocked and rooted .
If in some case I re flash my galaxy s4 , what would happen with sim unlocking .
Can I still use all carrier sim after flash or my mobile would be Lock for all carrier except at&t .
Okay. I have att and the note 5 is tmo and unlocked. If I use Odin for any reason, even to revert to 5.1.1 will it no longer be sim unlocked?
Sim unlock has nothing to do with Odin, rooting, or installing custom roms. Once it's sim unlocked it stays sim unlocked.

You are right, nothing to do with software, firmware
or odin.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
But...
There is no reason to use a sim-unlock service since
anyone can unlock their N920T or S6 Edge/Edge+
with the tmobile device unlock app which comes with
the official stock firmware in the phone which can be
also downloaded from Tmobile or the playstore.
The only requirement is that the phone is paid off
and you have owned the phone for at least 30 days.
If those two requirements are met the Tmobile device
unlock app will ask you if you want a temporary or a or
a permanent full sim unlock.
It will not ask for any other information or input.
The Tmobile device unlock app can be downloaded
from the play store.
Here is the playstore download link:

Good luck,
Have a great day!
I bought a custom unlocked s7 from ebay and it is the sprint model (930p) and i am using a tmobile sim card in it. Current software is PC5 and i do believe the software used to unlock it is custom because of the unlock padlock during boot. I was interested in updating my phone to benefit from bug fixes. It is the snapdragon 820 model and upon factory reset the same custom software was still on it.
My question is this: could i update my s7 via a ROM upload without ruining the unlocked feature of the phone.
Any help is appreciated! thanks!
