I'm about to change carrier and my phone is currently simlocked. I have the unlock code but would like to know if CM7.2 will ask for the unlock code at boot with my new SIM card like it is described on my old carrier procedure, or if I need to flash my carrier's SBF to unlock the phone.

So wondering if its true to call in to do a sim unlock with tmobile then after flashing a rom would this be a permanent unlock for oother service providers or no? thoughts anyone??
Phones are SIM LOCKED to one specific carrier. Once you SIM unlock it, you can pop in any other carrier SIM card and it will work.
As far as permanent, from my understanding you should be able to flash your phone as much as you want, and it will remain SIM unlocked, but I've never done it personally, so I don't know.
I've recently bought an unlocked G1 from eBay. It's works with a Vodafone Sim I have, so the Unlock code has already been put in, but the seller didn't provide the code to me.
My question is, if I root the phone, install a new SPL, Radio and, say, Cyanogen's ROM, would it require me to enter the unlock code again?
Or, is the fact the phone is unlocked stored forever?
This is a UK G1 btw
no, unlocked forever
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 called ATT and gave me my unlock code for my Motorola Atrix. I used a Tmobile sim card, entered the code. And it said Network unlocked successful. So do I need to enter the code every time I use a non-ATT sim or it is unlocked forever?
And if I do an update, would it still be unlocked, or would I need to re-enter the code.
Thanks.
It is permanently unlocked.
Your good to go
Got an unlock code from AT&T, but I can't seem to be able to get to the point where I can punch it in and unlock the phone (no, I do not have a SIM card). Any advice? I tried a bunch of codes to get it to unlock mode, none works. Currently running CM13 on my 1337.
Many thanks!
In order to be promoted for sim unlock code or to enter the unlock code using the dialler menu, the phone needs to be running a stock or close to stock rom with the stock dialler.
