Guys,
I just had a quick question. Does anybody know if I do a factory reset on the phone, will it erase the SIM unlock that I did already from T-Mobile? My phone is extremely sluggish and locking up. However, Iam worried that doing a factory reset will "lock" the SIM again to T-Mobile. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
You can unlock your phone as many times as needed with that code. The code is locked to your device!
It shouldn't remove the SIM unlock.
I have never tried with the Vibrant, but in me experience with about a dozen other unlocked GSM phones, a factory reset has never re-locked the phone.

Yup, same here.
unknown amount of odin's and roms 2.3 included, never a relock.
Factory reset doesn't even have access to that partition.
You should be able to factory reset with no issues. Once that unlock code is in, that phone should stay unlocked for life.
no, but I wish it does because some people with corrupted imei are having a hard time to fix it.
anyways, you'll be fine.

If I do a "Factory Data Reset" on my unlocked T-Mobile MyTouch Slide will it be locked again?
Seems the answer is typically no but just wanted to see if anyone knows from experience with this particular phone.
Thanks.
The "sim lock" and the OS on the phone are 2 COMPLETELY different things.
So whenever you unlock your phone, it's permanent.
You can factory reset, replace your OS and ect...
Your phone will still be sim unlocked.
Secondary question: Will it erase any of the APN or connection info?
Thanks!
i have an lg optimus quantum c900b that i unlocked using an unlock code, i did some modifications like unlocking developer mode and de-branding in the registry
i wanted to reset the phone to factory except unlock as i am having trouble doing an update, will the reset restore this to defaults? if not how can i restore this to complete defaults?
I'm pretty sure, an imei unlock can be turned to unlock.
There is a lot of errors, because most of the people mix the IMEI unlock with the developer unlock.
But', it's true, if the same have the same name...it's complicated.
In your case, no problems at all. Is IMEI Unlock. You can use developer unlock again after hard reset.
I was going to use mobiletechvideos to root the N900T I am planning to buy for use on AT&T. I might even buy a factory unlocked phone.
They have an option called "sim unlock" - They say it is a lower level unlock. If I bought a factory unlocked phone, would a Sim unlock be necessary (if I travel internationally)?
I have a SPH L720 that I previously had unlocked and used on T-Mobile network. Unknowingly factory reset and lost unlocked status. Trying to perform unlock again but phone unresponsive to ##3424# and ##3283#. How do I fix and/or get around this issue.
