Hi,
I bought this phone and unlocked the phone with a code to work on compatible networks. I want to know if upgrading or downgrading the software will lock my Samsung focus?
Thanks in advance

once you carrier unlock (Sim unlock) using a legitimate unlock code, upgrading/downgrading will not re-lock your phone.
so do whatever you want, enjoy!

hey,
when I purchased the Samsung Focus phone,
it had SIM Lock on it , which I unlocked by
using the UNLOCK PIN ..
want to know if it will get re-locked after WP7 Update . . .
Thanks !
If you got the unlock code once, I would think it would be able to unlocked again if the update relocked you.
I've been watching a few blogs on the update topics, I have not seen anything about sim-relocking yet.
But keep in mind, it seems that not that many people have been sim unlocked, you might be in the minority of Samsung Focus users!
If you do the update, let us know your results.
if you are talking the network unlock...no updates wont re lock it. unless you put the correct diag code then enter the unlock code it wont re lock.... now sim lock is different that is a code that locks the use of a sim card unless a 4 digit code is entered... if you disabled it, it wont come back unless you enable it again...
The unlock codes are not as hard to come by anymore. Lots of different websites and people even on ebay. I used Fastgsm but if it re-locks. oh well. Doubt it will though from what other users have said of other phones
I unlocked the phone using the code from ebay NCK ZONE ...
since NODO is out, wanna know if installing NODO will re-lock my phone...

Hi pal, it will not.
sim unlocked.
Installed nodo yesterday.
Still sim unlocked.
By chance can you tell me if you are getting a Roaming Triangle?
Do you have a focus from Rogers (paid to have it unlocked) using it with another provider?
Thx

I got a samsung galaxy SM-E500H phone which asks for network unlock code.
I dont know the network its locked to and its a dual sim. If there is anybody who knows how i can get it unlocked pleae let me know. How can i tell which network its locked to also will be very useful.
Network Locked
Did you buy phone from some Contact Company. .? If it's so then It's LOCKED. Or It has been stolen from somewhere and they have got it Locked by Security Agencies. In both conditions you need to contact your local security company & verify your status.
Flash some custom rom

Flashing the sustom rom to a model which has been NETWORK LOCKED will render it unusable.. Give a try & regret the moment. .

Hello,
I just acquired a new 'Huawei Ascend XT' phone which is sim locked to AT&T. I am currently in the process of unlocking the boot loader and rooting the phone.
I was wondering is there any tool available to Carrier / imei unlock this phone after I have rooted it (or may be even befor rooting it)?
Thanks.
I'm fairly certain you just need to change the apn settings manually.. need to do something weird to bring up the option to add/edit, believe it's holding down the tasks button
Without being carrier unlocked, the phone can only be used on AT&T Prepaid, AT&T, or AT&T based MVNOs. These days AT&T won't give you an unlock code unless you use the phone on AT&T Prepaid for 6 months. You can check eBay to see if any unlockers will sell you an unlock code for a few bucks. Only buy from sellers who have a money back guarantee if their unlock code fails.

Bought 2nd-Hand
I would like to ask if there is any way to carrier unlock. I bought this phone for 20$ on offer up. But when I contacted at&t to request unlock they said it has to be used for 6 months. For me that does not work, as I am already with tMobile and bought the XT for a second phone because of the large device support. I actually love the phone, but as is it is just sitting around. If anyone has or has heard of a way to accomplish an unlock please p.m. Me.or answer in forum. Thanks in advance.
Ps. phone is already bootloader unlocked and rooted with magisk 14.0. And latest TwRP.
Hi, I have a XT1680 locked by carrier AT&T.
Would flashing another rom will solve the problem?
If so, which rom should I flash?
Version is NPN25.137-82 (Mexico, 1-Sim)

Nope... Flashing a ROM does not remove the carrier lock.
To remove the carrier lock, you must get the Network Unlock Code... that is only available from the "locking" carrier (AT&T in this case) or from an online vendor that you must pay for. There is no other way in a modern phone.
Just go on ebay and get your code from one of the vendors. It will set you vack 2 or 3 US dollars.

Not sure what your asking here...
I've tried the secret phone codes in google but unfortunately, they don't work anymore. I was wondering if there are any new ways.

Are you talking about SIM unlock or bootloader unlock?

SIM unlock, bro.
If this is your phone then you can ask AT&T to unlock it for you:

If not then look around eBay for sellers who specifically target this device; they can provide you with an unlock code for a small fee.
