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.

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.

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!
Hi guys,
I need some clarification re: carrier unlocking and how it works.
I recently purchased a carrier unlocked G920T, and I was going to start messing with custom roms/kernels and other goodies. My question is: Will the phone revert back to being carrier locked if I do a factory reset or if I unlock the bootloader and flash custom roms?
I'm not a T-Mobile user, so I can't get another unlock code from them.
Thanks!!

Hi guys
i have an optus locked oppo f1f which im thinking of giving it to my parents to use.
if i root and flash a custom rom will that remove the network lock on the phone?
is there another way to unlock it without having to pay optus or someone else?
