[Q] Will upgrade of firmware lock my SGS??? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hii,
I got Samsung S GT i9000 from Orange UK network. I have unlocked it in INDIA and am using it in INDIA. Recently when I was changing my SIM unfortunately the phone got locked and it was asking unlock code. I searched in XDA forums about unlock and heard that the unlock code will be in the phone itself and got the unlock code and have unlocked it. More information about Samsung unlock can be known by visiting this thread....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045&page=153
My question is right now my SGS is version 2.1.Now I wanted to update to froyo. If I upgrade my SGS will my phone be locked. And if at all it is locked can I use the old network unlock code or will the unlock code change if I upgrade my SGS?
Clearly I want to know whether the network unlock code will be unique to a mobile or will it change with update of firm ware...........
Thankyou for your help in advance............

once unlocked it will stay unlocked.
and it by any chance it does re-lock, your original unlock code will work

As far as I experienced it, upgrading will not lock ist.

Thank You guys for your wonderful help
Am very thankful
I also want to know how to install themes on my SGS. The build numberpresent in my SGS was ECLAIR.BVJG2 and firmware was 2.1-updae1. How can I install themes and what themes can be installed for my firmware version???

Try romkitchen.org. U can get themes for froyo from there

You can get it unlocked remotely, I made a video and got the unlock code for free, my Galaxy Note was locked to At&t and I'm using T-Mobile Service with it now.

Hi
I have an IMEI unlock codes server, and I can provide unlock codes for all Samsung phones locked on European networks.
All models are compatible, even the most recent.
The unlock by imei don't make you loose your warranty, and it's permanent.
It's the easiest way to unlock your phone.
All you have to do is power on your phone with an unaccented sim card, type the provided unlock code, and the phone will be unlocked for ever.
The only info that I need is the IMEI of the phone. (type *#06# to see the IMEI)
And the model of the phone.
Delivery time: half hour normally.
SPECIAL OFFER 12€

Say that you see this post in XDA to benefit this offer.
Payments by PayPal 100% secure for you.
I have codes for all brands of phones too.
Thanks

No changing the ROM will not SIM unlock it. Did you mean a Verizon Droid Incredible 2?
No ... Incredible S locked for Virgin Mobile

No ... Incredible S

You either need to contact the carrier for the unlock code or use one of the pay services and purchase an unlock code.
Which HBOOT version does the phone have? If it is version 1.09 you might check the Development section. There was an older thread that claimed to S-Off and SuperCID earlier versions but doesn't work on the newer versions.

samsung galaxy captivate SGH- I897 from att unlock code is not work network unlockkey

code from att is not working
Hi,
If AT&T gave you a Sim unlock code and it's not working, you're best option is contacting them for support.
But I will have your thread moved to your device section for other opinions. You will need to register on XDA to respond to any replies.
Good luck!

We need to know what software (ROM) you're running to help you. Usually requires stock ROM.
