I unlocked via gfree using "./gfree -f" and have engineering boot 0.85.2007. In messing around in the bootloader at one point, I managed to accidentally select the "SIMLOCK" option in there...would that have permanently reset my simlock, or what does that option do? Is there a way to verify that I'm still simunlocked?
Also, if I do have simunlock active, does this mean I can use a prepaid sim card in another country without getting any kind of unlock code from TMO?
Thanks...
You would have to put a different carrier's simcard in to verify if you are unlocked. And yes, you can use prepaid sims overseas.
So no way to verify if simunlocked without actually trying another carrier's card huh?
So does anyone know - what does that "simlock" option in hboot actually do?
Bump...?......

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to find out how to SIM unlock my G1 without having an AT&T sim card. I have an unregistered T-Mobile sim card available if it could be used at all.
I tried searching but I must be using the wrong search terms because I keep getting results about unlocking using an AT&T sim card to get the request for unlock code to show up.
I have the unlock code, just need to be able to enter it.
dunno if its the same as the UK but I unlocked mine the other day from T-Mobile with an unlock code and all i had to do was to put the wrong sim card in there (i.e. the one u want to use) and then it should prompt you for an unlock code....
Yup, just shove in the ATT SIM card and it will ask for your code...
I got the unlock code for my MT4g from Tmo but when I turn the phone on with a non-TMo card the phone shows a "no SIM" notification and does not ask for the unlock code.
The non-TMo card I am using is not currently activated. TMo says that it should be a "live" card to get the prompt. But I've unlocked phones with non-activated SIM cards before.
I've also temp-rooted with Visionary and have frozen a lot of apps. So I'm also wondering whether anything I've frozen might be necessary to get the prompt. Any ideas on what system apps might be necessary for unlocking--even though they don't seem to be necessary for anything else?
I have an 1.3 rev Samsung Focus. It was an unlocked model I got from outside. I was in the US at the time of Mango update and updated my phone with Mango from AT&T. Now I have moved out of the US and want to unlock it. AT&T doesn't have the unlock code because I didnt purchase it from them. Any Ideas on what I can do? Will a custom ROM help me with Unlock? When I check lock status, it is SIM Lock is Disabled, only Network lock is enabled.
I'm not sure what you meant by "It was an unlocked model" in the context of "out of the US and want to unlock it". Was it unlocked or locked? Anyway:
Read the wiki, (carrier) locks are in NVRAM, no relation to flashing whatsoever, so any custom ROM won't SIM unlock your phone.
Have you tried ebay? Unlock is cheap as $1 and it doesn't hurt to try (unlock via IMEI - I unlocked AT&T and Rogers Focuses). If that fails, I recommend fastgsm, I've unlocked my own AT&T Focus with them, via USB (no affiliation).

It was carrier unlocked, as in I could place any sim in the phone and it would work. After I updated it on my Zune with Mango, it was loaded with AT&T's version and hence locked to AT&T. Now AT&T doesn't have the record of the IMEI in their database and aren't able to provide me with an unlock code. They were able to provide the unlock code for my other windows phone that I purchased from AT&T. Thereby lies my predicament. Let me try the ebay version, if not I hope FastGSM works. Thanks.
I was not able to get the unlock code from ebay. But FastGSM seemed to work wonders. I used their USB unlocking tool and it worked just fine. Thanks for the tip.
Soooo I have a N20U via T-Mobile and obtained a Sim Network Unlock code. Tried to use another carrier's sim card to enter the unlock code when prompted and was directed to the Network Unlock in the Mobile Network settings. I chose permanent unlock but T-Mobile wasn't going lol. Denied! Is there not a way around this to sim unlock the phone without going through T-Mobile??
Thanks for the help
Can't seem to find this answer. If I bypass the SIM unlock part, unlock my bootloader and load a custom ROM, like LOS or crDroid, will the new ROM overwrite the SIM lock? Could I then use an international SIM (I live in the US) when I travel abroad?
T-Mo is giving me the run around cause I'm not a T-Mo customer, saying they won't SIM unlock for me.
Here's how I did it: Settings -> About Phone -> scroll down to Network Unlock -> hit Continue (mine's unlocked already so I only see "Continue" or "Cancel" for a brief moment before it says, "This mobile device is permanently unlocked and can be used with any carrier!" Also I was not a T-Mobile customer when I unlocked this phone (never have been) and did this over Wifi in another country. I didn't have to contact T-Mobile either. I recommend trying to unlock it from the menu because it seems a lot easier than attempting a bypass.
Is the phone giving you some kind of message/error when you attempt to unlock using this method? Or are you attempting an experiment with the phone for research/discovering additional SIM unlock methods?
