Hello, I have an LG p990hN from fido.
How would I go about unlocking it for use with other SIM cards? I have experience with unlocking bootloaders and custom roms, however would installing a custom rom essentially unlock the phone for use with other carriers? or am I way off the mark. I've never had a carrier locked phone before. I would appreciate being shown some direction.
Thanks a ton. Cheers.

Hi,
I was wondering if a G1 locked to T-mobile be unlocked if flashed with a new ROM. Apparently, they could not provide us with an unlock code for the phone. I am not very familiar to the new HTC phones, but older ones (very) under windows mobile as far as I recall, can be unlocked when flashed with a new ROM.
I hope someone can help me regarding this. Thanks!
Nope, afraid not its still sim locked.
aw.. that's disappointing.. well, thanks anyway!
don't be ,just call up T-mobile and get the unlock code for free
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
Hey People,
Thanks in advance for all your replies and help, really appreciate it ..
OK, So I have a Verizon LG G2, which I am using in Pakistan (also I bought it in Pakistan) and I am using it without a Verizon Sim. These sort of phones are common here which are used phones which come from US. They do some unlocking and make this phone accessible to every local sim.
I want to inquire that if I root it and install a custom ROM in it will it still work and use my Pakistan based sim or will it stop working and than it would need a Verizon sim to work
Currently it shows that it is unrooted.

Hi,
If you wanted to know whether you will lose your phone unlock thingy, then nope. Unlocking a phone is permanent.
Sorry for the newb question. I know the bootloader is always locked on AT&T devices. But now that it's SIM unlocked, will it allow me to flash other region ROMs like the 900I? Will be using it in Thailand.
Unfortunately, the answer is no. The SIM card settings doesn't have any bearing on flashability. You'll have to wait until there's a way to root the version of android that your phone is on.
Thank you for the clarification.
Hello. I was iterested in getting a second-hand V40 which happens to be the US T-Mobile version. But i want to use it here in the UK. I've checked the specs and it seems to support all the band numbers which my carrier uses. But I have read that the T-Mobile V40s are somewhat restricted and it is not possible to root or crossflash. Does anyone know if it is possible to unlock for UK use? And if so, how?
Many thanks
What do you mean? Unlock is sum unlocking, root is root, cross flash is cross flash. Dont tell me you got the word unlock mixed up.
Rooting and crossflashing will not unlock the sim carrier for you to use as youll need to unlock before crossflashing. Also why not just go buy an unlocked variant as LG also has the US unlocked version. every manufacturer's unlocked version will always have more radio bands.
