Is there a way to check if your phone is unlocked other than inserting a sim from a different carrier?
I know there is a code you could enter into the gs3 to find out but it doesn't work on the gn2...
Thanks
EDIT: gs3 code FYI *#7465625#
EDIT 2: Sorry, wrong section, any chance of a move please?

just tried this on phone type on dialpad *#*#7378423#*#* select service info then configeration and at the bottom of list it should tell you rooting status mine had bootloader unlock allowed:yes. hope this helps
Simfree = Unlockable
Sim Locked = Not Unlockable (by Standard method)
It seems mine unlocked~~~~thanks~~
If it's not unlocked and you want it unlocked you could look HERE
All Ive got in my configuration section is IMEI, IMEI software version, available speech codecs and working band/s

Wrong. Branded phones from a carrier are unlockable via se method.
Simlock is the reason.
No simlock = unlockable
Simlock = not unlockable via se method
I unlocked my T-Mobile branded Arc via SE method
And other guys Vodafone branded ones

According to unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions
"If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked."
Hope this helps.

If you do a search you will find different providers that will offer a solution. It does involve shorting 2 pins. I did this with mine and it worked perfectly. Will try to find which website i used and post it back.

I recently received an unlock code for my GS4. Could this code be used to unlock another phone? Or is this code only valid with this GS4's IMEI number? Thanks!

It is tied to your IMEI number, so only your phone.
in the old days it might have; now its tied to your IMIE

I have a Korean s5. At initial set-up I can sign in to Google etc. but when I get to the This Phone Belongs To section, whatever I type in it will not pass this page but simply asks again. Any suggestions ?
Take off the simcard. First time the phone will check you whether Korea sim

My contract just expired so got an unlock code from AT&T, but it doesn't work. According to the instruction email, it won't work on a rooted device.
Does anyone have experience, if I odin to stock, would the unlock code work, and if the phone would stay unlocked if I flash a custom ROM?
Also, could anyone post the files to odin to MDL? The link it the thread that had it no longer works.
Thanks.

You cant unlock with at&t sim!!
You need tmobile sim card to unlock. If you tried already go head back to stock do unlock aim with different carried sim then flash what ever rom you want.
Good luck

Thanks. Luckily I have a Peruvian SIM card, from when I traveled, I used that to trigger the code and failed twice to unlock. I know I only have 5 attempts total so I wanted to make sure to get it right the next time. Did you tried just unrooting on your custom ROM? I'm wondering if that would be enough or going back to stop is required.

Is there a way or apps i can get region locked code except 3rd party
Thanks in advance for answering.

Flashing another firmware will not help to unlock your device.
Typically you will need the unlock code to unlock the phone.
You can buy it online, or follow this topic to request it for free (if any luck).
