Hello! I want to reset my phone.My phone was unlocked when i bought it on ebay.If i do reset phone unlock will gone or will stay?
it will stay. resetting is different from unlocking.
I have sim unlocked my from O2 Uk and it has remained unlocked even after flashing the custom Roms .. no problems whatever

I got the phone from a guy on EBay and though it is unlocked to all networks and works with my Orange SIM, how do I know if it is CID unlocked ? :?
you will not know if it is CID unlocked.
your best bet is to CID unlock it anyway.
it wont harm the phone to CID unlock more than once.
If you just want a generic ROM and are happy with the one you're running right now (Minus the o2 junk) just hard reset your device and then when it gets to the "wait three seconds" part, soft reset right when it gets to that screen. It will prevent WM5 from installing all of O2s crap on there and you have basically a clean slate version of what ROM you're running.
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.
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
Hi everyone. I have been asking to myself this question since I got it. The phone came rooted. So I don't know if it us factory unlocked or not. I really want 4.4 on it.. And I hate beeing on 4.2
I don't know if it the GT on the phonr means that is unlocked from factory, but I looked and at the back of the phone there is no carrier logo on it.
Thanks
If it's unlocked you can just put any carrier sim card in and it will work. Find a different carrier sim card and see if it works.
Ive just got my new P9 on O2 UK contract, which comes with O2 splash screen and Bloat.. As Ive just unboxed the phone... Can I flash the unbranded UK/EU stock rom without Sim Unlocking my P9, I know you can do this with Samsung and XPERIA handsets..
Thanks
OK, took some searching .. but found it.. Answer is Yes... you dont need Sim unlock or Bootloader unlock to use a stock Rom.. but you do need to force flash. Its all in here:
YOU do this at your own Risk..
