Hi, yes it will stay unlocked for good . You can however relock it if you wish to do so in future.

Hi guys,
I wanted to sell my Cingular 8125 back on eBay. What do I need to unlock? I am confused about CID unlocking / SIM unlocking ...
The device works perfectly, I have installed mfrazzz WM6 version 4.
Thanks!

Is it a G3 or G4 and how much do you want for it?

If you have a cooked rom on it already, I'm guessing it is already unlocked. My suggestion, use the WST to do a check. CID unlocked allows for custom roms. SIM unlocking allows for other providers. A quick glance at the stickies or wiki would explain it more, that's why we have them. They will also help you determine what (if anything) needs to be done to your device.
I recently ordered an unlock code from TMobile UK and have successfully unlocked my phone. The question is whether it remains unlocked forever or will it lock again when I update to a new ROM (official or cooked).
Thanks in advance
or by hard restart
does it remain unlocked after a hard reset?
as far as I know when you ordered a unlock code from T-Mobile then it is a sim unlock number to allow you to use other providers in the phone the CID lock is is still there .Still after a hard reset your unlock from T-moblie you should still be able to use other sim cards from other providers
So basically keep my code safe???
Is that what you are saying? That I will need to unlock again when I update with a new ROM?
If so, I'd better keep a note of the Unlock code!
Thanks to everyone who responded.
i buy the phone HTC DREAM from the internet (i'm from malaysia) so i don't have T MOBILE SIM, but it's already unlocked.
what happen if i rooted or flash the phone with custom rom such as JACHeroski and etc.
will the phone become locked again ??
if the phone is locked, can i still able to like root and flash the phone ??
a rooted phone with custom rom, can eliminate the unlocking process ???
thx in advance
sorry for my poor english

No. A custom ROM wouldn't lock or unlock the phone. It can be unlocked for any SIM and still be stock firmware, it can also be unlocked for any SIM and have a custom rom.
The two things are completely different.
Hope this helps.
You can do whatever you want to any rom, and that won't affect anything that makes it unlocked
thx for replying,
so meaning, currently the phone is unlocked, and i downgrade to RC29
so it wont be locked again ?
because need to downgrade to root-ed the firmware....
is this mean, downgrade my unlocked phone firmware to RC29
in the process, it will not reset my phone from unlock back to lock status ??
if it will not make my phone locked back again during the process
and i success downgrade to RC29 i can gain root access, then i can update to custom firmware
so another question, in the upgrading process (flasing to custom firmware or cupcake 1.5) will it set back from unlock to locked ??
sorry for my bad english
appreciate for replying, i need to know before i done anything
in the process,
Hi. I also have an unlocked phone. It was unlocked prior I downgraded it, and flashed new custom roms, and it is still unlocked. As the others said no need to worry, if i'm right the locking thing is in deeper level. Of course everything you do with your phone is your responsibility.

Can T-mobile still unlock the phone after I rooted it or would they know that I put a custom rom on it??

Yes, you can still unlock it through T-Mo. No one at T-Mo needs to have physical access to your phone, they can give you an unlock code over the phone.

One has nothing to do with the other. ROMs have nothing to do with the SIM cards and SIM cards have nothing to do with ROMs. T-Mobile isn't going to come to your house and spank you for having a custom ROM because they "know"

Thanks buddy!
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
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.
