Hi guys, my doubt is the following:
I have unlocked bootloader but I want to unlock the "network lock" so my X8 can use any operator but I don't know what happens with my bootloader, it locks again? Thanks in advance
Look at the image below to see clearly what I'm talking about

If you have unloceked bootloader, then you should have sim unlock too. Look at that thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225

What are you talking about? That thread actually says bootloader unlock does not sim unlock the phone.

Calm down, NIMBAH - there are always people who fail to understand what a particular guide is all about (or not).
EDIT: @OP
Your other chance, which may be the better solution, is to SIM unlock through an EMMA/IMEI code. There are some sites on the net offering this kind of service.
Then, unlocking via EMMA/IMEI code my boootloader won't suffer any change, right?

No, your boot loader won't suffer changes ... the one has not really anything to do with the other.
The only relevant thing is at boot loader unlock - there's a scenario (read the guide in the development section!) where the original SIM lock could return, but that entirely depends on how the phone got SIM unlocked in the first place.
I unlocked bootloader and it unlocked my phone, and now i can use any sim card (t-mobile, vip.....)

Unlock Xperia X8
Please tell us how do you get it.
I have an Xperia X8 and I finalised the year, so I can ask to my operator to unlock the phone. The problem is that I have modified the original system (Android 1.6) the actual system is Android 2.3 (MiniCM 7-2.2) and I supose the operator will rejected to unlock my phone.
in my opinion should take. and as pujdzie something wrong, and so it can upload the unlocked bootloader 2.1 stock under flashtool and then bootladera lock without restoring your stock. And then you can return to normal rom coustom

I go back to 2.1, than i root phone and use msm7227 . This is the problem:
My bootloader is not unlock jet!

Yes i know. I've unlock them tvice-2months ago without any instructions, I didn't use setool before I restore/ relock bootloader. When I unlocked them, than I've flash Linux DX 04. But than I've got one big problem. My phone didn't have mobile signal so I relock bootloader back. Than I try to unlock them again and I have the same problem. Now I want to unlock bootloader and flash nAa kernel but I can't!
ok..exactly same with my problem...
I'v done b4...then got no network problem..
(sent to SE)
when i get my phone try to unlock bootloader and bricked
(can't get into flash mode anymore)
(sent to SE again)
try to unlock bootloader again and bricked again
(sent to SE again...)
Now I wanna stay away from this...

My phone never bricked, if you're phone bricked, you must to relock bootloader, flash original SE kernel with flashtool and update phone back to 2.1 with SE PC COMPANION

wrong section for starters.
sprint doesnt use unlock codes.
they push an unlock to your phone.
they are the only carrier that uses a back door method.
how do i know?
i had to fight with sprint for weeks to get them to unlock my phone so i could use it in spain.
sprint is very difficult when it comes to this procedure. and although you may have received a confirmation unlock email from sprint, your phone may not be unlocked.
it is a hassle.
back door method ? can u elaborate ?

you talk to sprint. then they push an update to your phone.
you dont put in a code or anything.
they push the unlock to your phone.
Actually this has a builtin app to unlock the phone search it up on the general section u should see SIM unlock. U might have to dig around the tread for the instuructions.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386703 that's the thread with the video tutorial. U probably should of posted this on the Q&A section

Hey,
I just bought a SIM unlock code through eBay. I have also done this process successfully in the past with my AT&T HTC One X and it worked flawlessly when I took the device abroad and inserted a foreign SIM; back then, I wasn't messing with custom ROMs so I have no way to conclude if the code seller is correct with his statement.
He wrote to me this:
"All codes are from factory and they don't normally fail. it must be the software on the phone which needs to updated to official latest ROM to enable it accept the code. The phone should ask for SIM NETWORK UNLOCK PIN."
I am now running the latest GPe on my AT&T HTC One; I am also S-OFF. This is a screenshot of my phone info:

I am unsure what I should do now... Should I backup and flash the stock ROM? If so, where do I find the one that is relevant for me? Will flashing the stock ROM cancel my unlocked bootloader, S-OFF, root?
Thanks a lot!
"All codes are from factory and they don't normally fail. it must be the software on the phone which needs to updated to official latest ROM to enable it accept the code. The phone should ask for SIM NETWORK UNLOCK PIN."
that statement is a load of rubbish, your IMEI number on your phone never changes, and you have to give them that number and device model in order for them to generate your unlock code, correct ?
they are correct however in saying that the device will ask for the sim unlock code, but only when its been inserted with a different operators sim card, if its booting and working with a different operators sim in it, and not asking for the unlock pin, then its already unlocked.
your IMEI and model makes that unlock code specific to your phone and your phone only, doesn't matter what software you have on it.
either he has entered the wrong IMEI number or selected the wrong device when generating the unlock code, or you've given him the wrong number.
ive unlocked mine and had and still have ViperOne on it.
Hi guys
I am using DC-Unlocker the phone detects etc and i select "lock bootloader" and it runs through the task and states it was successful as per below
Code:
Locking Bootloader...
Done!
but when i reboot and relaunch the DC-Unlocker it still says:
Code:
SIM Lock status : unlocked
With Huawei and Honor, since you unlock the bootloader, it's over. No more "locked".
Even you do a locking process or flash a complete stock rom, you'll have or "unlocked" or "relocked".
Sorry...

But sim lock doesn't have anything to do with bootloader lock.
Oh! Well when I unlock via dc unlocker and then reopen the app it gives me the option to lock and not unlock.
Plus I can't use Huawei ID due to a restriction.

You give me your adb screen capture for seeing "locked"... Marvellous, what a surprise !
Am I saying it's not possible to relock ? NO ! Sure your bootloader is locked. Defininitly locked !
BUT : I'm not talking about what your adb screen is saying.
I talk about what THE PHONE says.
And it will no more say "locked"! Even the bootloader is relocked.
Just a question of words, man... No more.

advice for you then from myself - maybe next time you should state whether you were reading off your phones bootloader screen or of the adb screen on the computer. before laying into someone who didn't misread anything
and also the guy/gal who posted was saying that his/her bootloader was locked but seemed to be confused about why his/her sim was still unlocked as he may of thought they were the same lock/unlock process and of the same thing
May be. Apologies Milanber. We both have reason.
My post is edited. Do the same aceclift...
No worries.

Hi everyone.
I'm following the instructions in order to get TWRP on my phone and flash Resurrection Remix Oreo, but I'm not being able to unlock the bootloader.
I get the "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking." message at the Motorola unlocking website
Does this have anything to do with Verizon? Their E5 Play isn't unlockable at the moment?
I should get 5 strings of unlock data, but instead I get the "Unlock data:" text in the first line, and then 4 more. Is this something that should happen?

Is it possible to flash a custom ROM with a locked bootloader?
Thanks in advance.

Verizon-branded phones cannot be bootloader unlocked. Has always been this way.
You cannot flash a custom ROM with a locked bootloader.

I was referring to Verizon's Moto phones. The Verizon-branded Pixel/XL had a workaround to allow BL unlock, as did the Pixel 2 for a short period of time (was patched in an update). But the Verizon-branded Pixel 2 XL and Pixel 3s still cannot be bootloader unlocked.
I am having the same issue, however can you root a phone without unlocking the bootloader?
