No.The Rooting/ROMing is not the same as SIM/Network/Subsidy unlock.
I have had good sucess with codes from GSMLiberty.net.
Process:
1- Buy an "unlock code" (you need the network the phone is locked to as well as the phone IMEI number (look under the battery).
2- Put in NEW SIM
3- At code prompt, type the number that gsmliberty.net gives you (or another site, I am just speaking from experience).
Voila! Unlocked phone. You can then keep the stock ROM or move on to rooting/installing a new ROM if you want.
Wiping the phone and installing new ROMs has no effect on the unlock. You are OK.

Little help and advice (noob here)

Hi all, first off, I just bought a sony xperia z off ebay... second hand... and locked on the 3 network!!.
I am wanting to install a custom ROM and unlock the phone... both network and the boot loader?... I would like to wipe the phone clean and start afresh as it has come with lots of unwanted apps and other rubbish!.
Would anyone be kind enough to suggest a good custom ROM and/or a guide to do this?... I am totally new to Android having used iphones all my life so I haven't the faintest idea on how to do this...
I also don't have a PC. so it will have to be done via MAC... The phone model is a C6603 and its running Android version 4.2.2.
Hoping someone can help and any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Will

If you want to unlock the bootloader you might be out of luck as carrier handsets are usually locked down in terms of the BL, for anything else see the stickys.

Do you wanna have stock installed?
Then you could just flash that with mi flash.
All data on the phone will get lost though.
Do you need anything badly that's on your phone at the moment?
In case you rather wanna try out a custom ROM (which I would so much advise in this case where you need to reflash stuff anyway) the steps are different. So write back if you need hints how to get there.

thanks for the answer. ive alredy solved problem with instaling miui 11 whats been mainly reason what i was doing. i had some troubles with cmd
command to run twrp. if anyone get faced with this issue .. contact me
thank you again. Rom is awsome ???
