If you used an unlock code then installing other ROMs (official or custom) will not affect the SIM lock of your handset.
hello ddotpatel
Hi,
I bought unlocked HTC legend.If i root device,load custom rom or unroot,or load shipped rom,do i have to unlockit again?If the legend once unlocked does it means that is unlocked forever?
Thanks in advance
Once unlocked the phone will remain unlocked forever, even if you flash the rom in the future.
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

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!
