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

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.
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
In an attempt to use my locked AT&T HTC One phone on my T-mobile service I used the Cyanogenmod Installer to root my HTC one and hope to use it on the T-mobile network; I also unlocked the bootloader via HTC website. The newest Cyanogenmod is installed (11-20140417-NIGHTLY-m7) and wifi is working, etc. Unfortunately, no phone calls since it keeps asking for SIM Network unlock code (I bought an unlock code...not working). Any suggestions? What should I do? I did some research and I read something about using an RUU...is this a good solution? Thank you all!
Status of phone on bootloader screen is:
S-ON "TAMPERED"

No luck the phone they're referring to is the HTC Amaze it seems.
Does successfully installing Cyanogenmod "unlock" the network as well??

No, bootloader unlock and sim unlock are different things. You'll need to be on the stock rom to input your sim unlock code.

Hello,
I (still) have the same problem here. I have a DHD that was locked and branded. I followed HTCDev's procedure to unlock the bootloader and installed a Cyanogenmod ROM (unofficial 10.1) two weeks ago that works great. I've been trying to get my phone unlocked for days with no luck ever since.
I've tried using the HTC unlock tool v. 0.9.5/4 and rooting the phone too. Nothing. Drivers are working fine; program executes as expected, but I still have a locked phone after it finishes. I got an unlock code that I enter after booting and I get a "successful network unlock" message, but the radio seems to remain off. I cannot place calls. Attempting to choose a network operator manually from the settings menu fails; I get a "mobile network unavailable" message when doing so (service providers list does not even appear). I've read threads saying that the only way to get around this is by reverting the phone to its original ROM and HBoot, but I've read elsewhere that workarounds on branded phones shipped with Gingerbread or Froyo (like mine used to run) fail and/or screw up the phone, so I have not tried that. Any ideas or pointers?
Thanks!
Hi All -
I've searched everywhere for the answer to this and haven't been able to find it, so I figured I'd post here. This is the scenario:
1) I have a Moto X that is locked to AT&T
2) I wanted to give the phone to a friend who is on Sprint, so I paid for an unlock code
3) Even after unlocking and inserting the Sprint SIM, I still received the "SIM Network Unlock PIN" message
4) I now want to basically restore the phone completely back to the way it was (locked to AT&T), so it can be used with an AT&T SIM
5) I flashed the phone using RSDLite and the correct ATT ROM, but after the flash finished successfully and I insert a valid AT&T SIM, I still receive the same unlock message.
So my question is basically, can I get the phone completely back to being locked to AT&T, essentially the way it was out of the box? I'm also willing to flash it with Cyanogen or another ROM if that would help.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks for your time.
I have same issue, I had my Sim working for a couple of days but I wanted to return to stock to receive further updates and I flashed it with correct at&t firmware package but now there is a popup every time when I insert Sim about unlock code and I am stuck ... I think that's because of erasing modem st1 and modem st2 during flashing with RSDlite ... Is there anybody to suggest something helpful
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.
