i have a g4 and i ran lokiwiz 3a to get the sim unlock code.
i got an unlock code but it didn't work with a different sim card..
i flashed a new rom and ran lokiwiz again and got a new unlock code.
that one didn't work either.
finally i flashed it again and got a 3rd unlock code and it worked.
i thought unlock codes were phone specific so why do they change with different flashes.
if i flash it again, will i need to deal with unlock codes another time.

Has anyone got there CINGULAR TREO 750 CID UNLOCKED YET? If so HOW?!?!?!?
imeicheck
Hi,
I unlocked mine with http://www.imei-check.co.uk/p750unlock.php.
Nice service worked as expected.
Hope I could be of assistance
this is just a sim unlock. i am looking for cid unlock to be able to use other software on it. thanks for trying though!
I actually think it does both.
I got my unlock code from Cingular, anyone know how to enter it in w/o a foreign sim?
Update: found a co-worker with T-Mobile. Popped in their Sim, entered the unlock code provided by cingular and i'm good to go.

turn on the PHONE function on Palm with the foreign SIM card in and type in
*#*#YOUR CODE HERE#, then press the center button.
Just go to ebay and purchase an unlock code for your phone. it fast, easy and 2 times cheaper than imei-check . it's just 17.99$ each

The Treo 750 does not have CID lock on it, you can intall whatever you want without restrictions. I dont even think it has applock.
The only lock is the SIM lock.
you can use the installer and when it errors steal the image file from the temp dirrectory and put it on your flash card and do the install that way. worked with vadaphone rom on cingular(AT&T) phone.
I just entered the unlock code I received from ATT and got the message unlock code passed. I take it that this means its unlocked? Is it a permanent unlock?

I believe that it is a permanent unlock - however - please read the WIKI and do not confuse UNLOCK with HARDSPL if you are going to FLASH ROMS.
Bill
what was the exact code or numbers you used to unlock the phone...because some of the #'s for unlock just unlock the service providers branded lock but the other codes unlock the phone period
if the code is from AT&T, then its for permanent sim unlock and you can use other sims. no more, no less
Yes the code is directly from ATT. I told them I'd be doing some international travel and wanted the option of putting in a european sim card while there.
I have a T Mobile HTC HD7. Can anyone suggest where I can get it unlocked at a reasonable price?
T-Mobile will give you the code for free, just ask.
I spoke with tmobile about the unlock code. Is it just to unlock to use any sim or will it unlock the phone to use with the new windows phone tool they have out now. I try to use the tool now and it says phone is locked, will this code unlock it. Thanks

The unlock code from T-mobile will only SIM unlock the phone (you can use with any carrier that has SIM cards).
To dev unlock the phone, you can register on create.msdn.com and use the tool there, or use something like ChevronWP7.
Hi, I have bought an I9000 from France locked to Orange and was given the unlock code from the Orange. I unlocked the phone with my simcard and it unlocked. I tried to use another sim but it requests the unlock code and the one I have is not working. When I type *#7465625# with now sim in the phone everything is OFF Network Lock etc. I have also flashed a stock android 2.3.1 and debranded the phone.
It still works with my sim.
Is it possible to use with another sim or do I have to get another unlock code?
Thanks
Are you referring to SIM Unlock code or Network Unlock code?
SIM unlock code is independant to the SIM while on the other hand Network Unlock code is independant on the phone itself. It is based on IMEI of the device.
Yes the other sim had sim lock code and i did not know, that was the problem. Thanks.
You don't have to say thanks. Just hit the Thanks button if it helped.
Basically, I have an ATT branded M7 that should have been carrier unlocked. First thing I did was complete the HTCdev unlock to install TWRP and supersu. I completed a SIM swap from a mini-SIM to the micro-SIM for this phone and it is asking for the network password which the provider is telling means that it is not carrier unlocked? Could the HTCdev unlock caused this? Seems like the SIM unlock is in a different area of the boot loader that requires s-off so I think no. Need to contact the eBay seller but anyone have any other suggestions? Is S-off and unlock the only option for a permanent SIM unlock?

Bootloader unlock and s-off are not related to sim-unlock. You probably got scammed by the seller, but sim-lock can be removed easily using a sim-unlock code which you can buy online (for really cheap). So it might not worth wasting your time contacting the seller.
There is another method to sim-unlock that require s-off(sieempi)
Sim-unlock is permanent even if you unlocl/relock bootloader or if you turn security on/off (s-on/s-off)
Thanks for confirming. Is there anyway to determine if it has been hardlocked?

what are you talking about? Hardlocked?
Something about if an incorrect code 10 times there's another layer of locks (found AT&T page that references PUK and PUK2 codes). Are those different than the carrier lock we're discussing? Found a cheap code on eBay. Ordered it, will find out shortly I guess.

AFAIK (I'm not an expert on this) PUK codes are used to unlock the device when a wrong PIN was entered to many times in an attempt to access the device. PUK (Pin Unblock Key = Personal Identification number unblock Key) locks the device on a lower level or/and the sim card can become locked (preventing access to data stored on the card) but this have nothing to do with sim-lock that are locking your phone to a specific carrier.
Im not even sure if PUK is still used, ppl just reset their PIN using their google account or they are performing factory reset....
purchase the sim-unlock code, insert the new sim card, enter the code when prompted.
Thanks for the explanation. I did manage to test the new SIM in another phone and it worked and another known good SIM resulted in the same error (new info since OP). Maybe I should have paid more for 15 minute service... ?
Purchased unlock code did the trick.
