Just got this phone and I've been able to click the oem unlock without unlocking the sim. Not sure if this is different than other t-mobile devices but I'd appreciate some feedback on if other t-mobile users don't need to sim unlock before unlocking the bootloader

I recently ordered an unlock code from TMobile UK and have successfully unlocked my phone. The question is whether it remains unlocked forever or will it lock again when I update to a new ROM (official or cooked).
Thanks in advance
or by hard restart
does it remain unlocked after a hard reset?
as far as I know when you ordered a unlock code from T-Mobile then it is a sim unlock number to allow you to use other providers in the phone the CID lock is is still there .Still after a hard reset your unlock from T-moblie you should still be able to use other sim cards from other providers
So basically keep my code safe???
Is that what you are saying? That I will need to unlock again when I update with a new ROM?
If so, I'd better keep a note of the Unlock code!
Thanks to everyone who responded.
I couldn't find anything by searching the older threads so here is my question:
Is it possible (and reasonably save) to try and unlock the bootloader in a SIM locked x8? Just to clarify: I don't want to remove the SIM lock from my phone - I'm happy with my current provider. I'm just wondering if I can unlock the bootloader while I still have a SIM lock on my phone.
All the threads about unlocking seemed to be concerned about how the phone was SIM unlocked rather than whether it was actually necessary...
Thanks a lot in advance..!
anyone please?
I just want to know if I can unlock my bootloader while I still have a SIM lock in place. Or will I brick my phone then? I don't want to remove the SIM lock. Just flash a custom kernel so I can get proper wifi tether...
same question... now,why is necessary have unlocked by operator the phone ???
is very maddening D:
so so please developers unlock bootloader with phone locked by operator, many peoples will thank you

And I successfully unlocked the simlock,because I have been to China and I can use the GSM and CDMA network there.
I want to change my carrier as AT&T or T-mobile even if Version Wireless,but it just tell me the SIM Card Is Invalid !
I visited a lot of website and tried any possible solution on the Internet,include but not limite in: Change ROM,Flash Radio,Format /cache /sytem /data,Retry simlock again and again,Set QPST,Set CDMAworkstation,Set DFS ...
Well,
I even want to buy the unlock code from xxxxxx.com,but they warn me do not buy the code if the phone didn't request.
Why the phone didn't request the unlock code?
I truly hope I can unlock this phone,
If you know how to deal with it,Please help me!
I am using Sprint (maybe)original ROM,Software version 3.31.654.2,OS vision Android 4.4.4,Baseband version 1.08.20.0916
Even if you SIM unlock the phone you can't use it on another domestic carrier. If you're international that's another story.

But it is designed can enter the unlock code to unlock domestic carrier and international carrier.
And the domestic unlock code is actually exist,just have no idea why this phone not ask.
Maybe the unlock program damage the part of domestic unlock function?
I try to unlock my Sprint M8,I tried T-mobile and AT&T sim card.
But my phone didn't likes youtube video, My phone didn't ask me about the unlock code. It just simply tell me the sim card is Invalid.
I have tried to use the unlock helper to unlock it, but it just unlock the internation lock.
I still want to unlock the domestic carrier lock.
Is it the ROM problem?
My phone use the Android 4.4.3,and it is S-OFF.
Please help me!
If you're trying to unlock your phone to use it on another domestic carrier, you're not going to be able to do that. SIM unlocking will work for international use.

Can you be more specific? what is your current Rom? and are you able to flash custom roms? if yes try this one and use their unlock method

I tried calling them but they won't unlock it. Are there other options as of now? I have the unlock code, but I do not know where to enter it.
The only way to unlock it is by calling sprint, they will send you the unlock OTA and instruct you to do Settings-->General-->system updates-->UICC Unlock
The menu to enter GSM SIM unlock code was removed from Sprint's stock ROM.
I think you have to tell them you are going to travel internationally to get them to unlock it.
you also have to have a current account with them and you can't unlock more than one device per 12 month
