If I Make root to my phone Is it possible to unlock the phone
This has been discussed over many times. Please do some prior research!
In short, no---rooting your phone won't unlock it. You'll need a code for that. To get that code..... you should do some research!

Hi Guys
I just got an Orange UK Optimus 7. I want to unlock it and have been trying the instructions in the thread hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974874.
I followed the instructions but the dam thing remains locked, I get the enter code screen when I place a T-Mobile sim card in it.
Any thoughts on this before I head to the man in the market!?
Many thanks
The instructions you followed are for developer unlocking your device, to allow side loading of apps and such. You need to carrier unlock your device, which is completely different. As far as I know, there is no registry hack to do this, and you would have to obtain an unlock code through other means.
I previously got the atrix on launch day but traded it for a inspire a couple weeks later and i had the cance to buy my friends atrix for $50 so i took it. I'm wanting to root and unlock the bootloader but my atrix is on 4.5.141 which from what i understand is at a disadvantage, i've searched around but haven't found a direct awnser on how to downgrade, root, or anything else.
Anyone, pleassseeeeeee
Follow this tutorial to unlock the bootloader:

Unlock
For the unlocking portion I was on 4.5.141 and I used the method below successfully. Do not get alarmed because you most likely will get the "failed to boot 0x1000" error but just follow the onscreen instructions. The program does everything for you, the only command you really type in is your specific device ID. It was very easy, just read the recent posts from the thread. Good luck!

thank ya'll very much kinda lost in these forums after a couple months.
I requested a sim unlock code from tmobile, and I received it. I entered it twice with a non-tmobile sim, and both times, the code was rejected by my my Mytouch 4G.
I'm since asked t-mobile to recheck the code (IMEI was correct). They said they would, but that they couldn't guarantee that they could send me an accurate code.
I understand after 3 attempts, it permanently locks. I have one left.
I understand I could use gfree method to sim unlock. It will take some effort to reflash back to older roms, etc.
If I try a 3rd time and cause my phone to lock out further attempts, will the gfree method still allow me to unlock?
I would rather simply deal with codes, but if I risk permanently blocking the ability to unlock my phone, then I'll give go the gfree route instead of trying again.
thanks
Just flash a stock rooted froyo rom, an run gfree, that's not hard to do.
Afaik gfree doesn't count as an attempt. it is different from receiving an unlock code

i can give you a link to buy official unlock code from an eBay seller (which i bought to unlock my MT4G),if i allow to post & if you not use gfree.
ok, figured it out. When the phone was booting up, it was initially asking for my pin on my sim card (i was using a vodafone websessions sim), not the network unlock. Once I entered that correct, I got the network unlock page, and that worked.
priyadharsini - your post reported, spamming by paid unlock sites, not for the first time. I hope this time you'll be banned.
I wonder why those sites are even needed? I will be damned if I would pay for something I can do myself!

Why would root fail due to a flauty battery?
Install a custom recovery first then flash SuperSU. Use Odin. Check YouTube. Flash twrp. Then flash SuperSU. You have a custom recovery and root. If you want only root try alps like kingroot.
The faulty battery didn't have enough power to turn the phone back on after the root made it reboot. It just kept putting it into a bootloop.
The guide I was using said to use Kingroot to temproot it (it rooted once and then got stuck in the bootloop, which is were the phone is currently now) and then SuperSU to perm root it but now I can't even get more than 55% with Kingroot before it shuts itself down.
I thought the bootloop was my fault from ****ing with it so I flashed twrp onto it and it now has a little broken lock that says custom over it but the twrp commands don't come up so I still can't put the ROM on it.
If your on 5.1.1 better use kingoroot for a high success rate and after that you NEED to unlock bootloader first and then flash twrp. If you dont unlock bootloader you cant flash twrp.

Why would you use Kingroot or Kingoroot if not to unlock the bootloader? Neither will give you a stable root and both have the potential of calling home to China with your personal data.
If you need to unlock your bootloader there are threads in this subforum that will tell you how to do it. However, I'd strongly suggest that you do some serious study into what you're doing and why before you attempt it.

My roommate from college was telling me to do this and was helping me but he did a half as way of explaining this stuff so thats why I came here. The Kingroot and Kingoroot is to unlock bootloader? I thought they were for a temproot? Not to be a pest but would you be so kind to explain?

You need temporary root at which time you can deploy the exploit that will unlock the bootloader and give you full root. That's what Kingroot or Kingoroot do for you. What they may or may not do for you is give your phone cooties and call home to China with your personal information.
Can I hold your hand and walk you through rooting your phone? Yeah, I could, but I won't. The guys that developed the exploit think it's a good idea for someone to have at least a clue as to what they're doing. I happen to agree with that. Rooting is fairly safe for your phone so long as you're willing and able to follow directions exactly.
Read up on the process of rooting. There are three or four threads in the general section that tell you how. If you think you're up for it, do it.

Hello,
there's no longer an official way to get the bootloader unlock code, You can get the code with dc-unlocker.com or hcu-client.com (paid services - 4euros).
P.S.: I'm afraid root won't help you. Unlocking bootloader will erase all your data , since Android 7 it is impossible to bypass this process.
this make me sad.
