Will Flashing a New ROM Unlock G1? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I was wondering if a G1 locked to T-mobile be unlocked if flashed with a new ROM. Apparently, they could not provide us with an unlock code for the phone. I am not very familiar to the new HTC phones, but older ones (very) under windows mobile as far as I recall, can be unlocked when flashed with a new ROM.
I hope someone can help me regarding this. Thanks!

Nope, afraid not its still sim locked.

aw.. that's disappointing.. well, thanks anyway!

don't be ,just call up T-mobile and get the unlock code for free

Unlock with new ROM?

I upgraded my T-Mobile MDA to the newest ROM and everything is great... now I want to do the same for my Cingular 8125 except that I need it unlocked for use with AT&T. It's running good with the stock ROM and it's unlocked... but I want the newest ROM on it.
Question is, how can I upgrade to the newest ROM and be assured it will be unlocked? It's a phone I use A LOT (!!!) so if it can't be unlocked after I do the upgrade, I'm screwed.
Thanks!
I thought once unlocked always unlocked. i upgraded my 8125, but i also use Cingular's service.
I need someone to confirm that then, I can't afford for it to be locked after the upgrade... and the upgrade should fix some of the problems I've been having.
SIM and CID unlocked my MDA Vario with Lokiwiz and after that installed 2 different ROMs and it still unlocked...
what do you need to be unlocked specifically, what ability do you need, and I can try it on my phone possibly.
I want to be able to make calls with my AT&T SIM card, and I'm using MMode for internet.
Well, here goes nothing... thought I'd just hope it works... 1% done so far.
Worked great, thanks for the suggestions guys
good to hear.

[Q] Will flashing my ROM unlock my Magic?

Hey guys,
Was wondering if anyone can help. I flashed my ROM to the latest HTC Sence a couple of days ago hoping it would unlock the network on my phone. I was locked to Three and now have an Optus sim, and after flashing my ROM it won't even read a Three sim.
Is there a way I can unlock my HTC Magic so I can use another network provider?
Thanks heaps,
Sezza
You can call your current provider and ask for an unlock code or you can purchase one. Unlockr.com can get them for you. I think its $20
can anyone answer to this question
if i install new rom to my phone does it unlock network
no, you would just be changing the os, flashing roms wont change if your phone is locked to a specific carrier or not.
you can get unlock code on ebay ~$3

[Q] Debrand, SIM unlock: what to do first? Does it even matter?

Hi all,
My question is rather simple.
I received my HTC One yesterday. It is branded by the French carrier Sosh.
I'd like to debrand it, so I cans put the stock HTC Sense Rom.
The carrier will send me an unlock code next week.
Can I do everything to debrand my phone, and then only sim unlock it?
Will I lose the official sim unlock passing the device to S-OFF, unlocking the bootloader, etc...?
Thank you very much for your help, I'd really appreciate.

Unlocking the bootloader, rooting, s-off and stock rom will not remove the sim lock.
The only way to sim unlock without paying a third party is to wait for the unlock code
Thank you for your answer.
And in another way, I can do everything, and only then, enter the code?

Yes you should be fine
I also think it does not make sense which you will do first. If unlocking the bootloader, S-Off, root cannot unlock the phone wwhy they will locked it after unlocked from the carrier with code from same. Also if there is any reason the phone to be locked itself you will have already the code to unlock it again.

L90 Network Unlock

Hello everybody.
So... I understand pretty good all terms about rooting, flashing and roms.
The thing is that I have a LG L90 with CM 13 and I've noticed today that it only accepts one SIM Carrier, it's network blocked.
I want to insert another SIM from another company, but I do not know how to unlock the network restriction.
Does anybody have any idea of how to do that?
I remember owning a samsung ACE and some guy developed a tool to unlock network just using an APK.
Please, xda, help me. You're my only hope.

Hello the only way i know how to unlock is to ask t mobile. Did you buy the phone directly from t mobile?, if so you can ask them to send you a unlock code which you can input in your phone to unlock. Simple as that.

Hi. I've tried with my carrier (telcel/Mexico). They told me, they could not unlock it. They tried but didn't work. Told me the reason could be because i have a custom ROM (CM 13).
So i'm looking for alternative methods.
Got back to stock and call your cellphone provider again. You can go back to stock using LG Flash Tool and the correct kdz for your phone model.
