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
Hello, I have a rooted Telus Motorola Milestone running a custom 2.3 rom(can't recall which one atm), if there a way to unlock the sim restriction so I can use the phone with other carriers without having to go to one of those sites where I enter my IMEI and pay for a code.
I installed/flashed the latest HD7 Deepshining ROM.
In the ROM website description it says that it is“Full Unlocked”. Does this mean unlocked for side loading apps or does it also mean that after installing this ROM on a T-Mobile HD7 that it will be "carrier" unlocked as well?
I’ve installed the ROM many times over and the at&t SIM card I have will always request an unlock code. The T-Mobile SIM card works fine.
I have requested an unlock code from T-Mobile and am awaiting an email from them. After I put this unlock code in, will it carrier re-lock the device if I reflash the OS again afterwards? And in that case would I have to request a new code from T-Mobile or would the same code work again to unlock it.
Sorry for all the NOOB questions here.
SIM unlock
is permanent, once done the restriction on the phone radio is removed.
so you can try wathever rom you want...
BTW this question has already been answered too, by me.

Hello people.
I have been working for hours for this, based (probably) on my critical mistake.
My HTC 510 is a Telus (Canada) carrier version and the stock rom is slow. I flashed nonsense1.03 rom from this forum and it runs great. However when I proceed to unlock my cellphone from the current carrier Telus there's a great problem: The phone simply won't let me type in the 8 digit unlock code for SIM, at all. I try to flash stock rom back but the only thing I can do is to unlock the bootloader and flashing ends up with signature failure.
When I put in unauthotrized SIM card the phone did show up icon saying that the sim card is locked. But it won't let me type unlock code and there's no entry in this phone I could access the unlock pad. Any possible way to type in this unlock SIM code and end this nightmare?
Thank you all!
same problem!
same problem!
Hello all,
I have a UK HTC Mini 2 locked on EE, I would like to remove the simlock and as such I have purchased a code to do so from ebay. However, the code does not work, I have verified with the seller and he says it is correct so I assume it has something to do with me installing CM 12.1 (NostomoPop).
My phone is S-On, Bootloader unlocked, could somebody advise me how I could unlock the phone please??
Thanks :good:

The unlock works only on SENSE ROMs, so you can't unlock it on CM, AOSP or GPE ROMs. Even after you have unlocked you won't have network in non-sense ROMs.

I'm sorry to come to this thread so late but I've only just seen it. I hope you have already solved your problem but just in case here is my experience.
I have a One Mini 2 which was bought from eBay locked to Vodaphone. I bought a SIM unlock code online and had the same problem, i.e. the code did not work.
Stupidly I had cut down my mini SIM card to a micro card using a template I found online and this turned out to be the problem. I ordered a new SIM card from Giffgaff (their cards now come as a 3-format card which you cna just pop out to the correct size) and, after doing a SIM swap on-line to the new card number, put the new card in and entered the number as supplied. It worked perfectly.
I had already unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP while waiting for the new card to arrive.
I have installed several different roms, CM12, Carbon, AOSP, Nostromopop (by far the best!), reverted back to stock, gained S-OFF with Sunshine, reloaded full stock from RUU, reinstalled TWRP, reinstalled latest Nostromopop, SuperSU, and on and on and on. I've never lost mobile network since I put in the new SIM card and entered the number I was given originally to unlock it.
So just in case you are still having problems, that was my solution: get a new SIM card!
Good luck
Hi ajlajluk,
I am in the same position as you were - HTC one mini 2 simlocked to vodafone, tried online unlock codes with no luck. I have a giffgaff simcard and cannot get it working, can you elaborate more on exactly what you did to get the unlock code working?
"after doing a SIM swap on-line to the new card number, put the new card in and entered the number as supplied. It worked perfectly"
How do you mean sim swap? tranfered numbers?
Im not having much luck when attempting to flash a stock rom and Sunshine doesnt like the CM11/CM12 roms when I tried to S-OFF (to change CID).
Any advice massively appreciated
