I just purchased a Milestone and it came unlocked I was wondering if I do a factory reset will I have to unlock it again? I'm not sure how it was unlocked as I purchased it used. Also its rooted/Oced from what I can tell as well , do I need to remove the root as well to factory reset it? It's running 2.1 update 1.
If you are talking about the subsidy/carrier lock, it sticks after resets (meaning you dont need to ever redo it again). I always either unlock my phones and buy them unlocked and have never seen a phone relock.
If you mean bootloaders or SPLs, you need to be careful which sbf you flash.
But with a factory reset, the worst you can do is lose data and apps.

It could simply be never locked. Carrier lock is not mandatory phone feature

No need to remove root for factory reset.
You can easily root it, so dont worry, just jump in..
Is it possible to unlock the Bootloader to the Galaxy S Advance. Or is it already factory unlocked?
From what I know is already factory unlocked.
I have a VZw dev edition.
Does unlocking the bootloader and rooting wipe the phone clean?
Thanks
Yes, unlocking the bootloader does wipe the phone.
will flashing stock rom after a full wipe on the t-mobile galaxy s will remove factory unlock?
not sure but this will work http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...p-galaxsim-unlock-1-02-jb-compatible-t1846451 or this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906255
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 Active g870a that I recently unlocked with a code. My phone has been really laggy as of late so I wanted to do a factory reset. Will doing a factory reset kill the unlock code and relock it?
Performing a factory reset will not kill the unlock code.
