Guys
I've searched the forums and realise I can buy a SIM unlock code for my Blackstone, however I'm trying to clarify the following.
1. If I install a different ROM do I still need to buy the unlock?
2. If I changed the EMEI (I want the phone to match my in car fixed EMEI - I realise the blackstone has to be switched off when in the car else conflicts) does that mean the phone has to be unlocked again?
3. Once the phone has been unlocked if I change the ROM will it have to be unlocked again?
What prompted the question is reading the Wiki few areas actually simlock the phones....therefore my assumption is a different ROM means it could become unlocked.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Regards
Its an unlocked phone my friend so obviously you pay a higher price for the phone itself able to use with any sim card. Carriers phone that are branded with the carrier logo are usually cheaper with a plan that could cost more then the phone overtime and is locked to the phone carrier which requires a sim unlocking code to use with other sim cards/ other carriers.
The answer to that is you can install any rom on the phone and if it an unlocked htc touch hd which you paid a lot for then it will be unlocked forever
if its locked to a carrier im not sure about that maybe someone can clarify.
any ideas please guys, I get the phone in a couple of hours.

Anyone?
Try to keep this short
1. If I install a different ROM do I still need to buy the unlock?
No Simlock is based on the radio and hardware (short version).
Once unlocked yoiu can up your rom and your radio, it stays unlocked.
2. If I changed the EMEI (I want the phone to match my in car fixed EMEI - I realise the blackstone has to be switched off when in the car else conflicts) does that mean the phone has to be unlocked again?
Got me lost on this one.
Simlock is based on radio and Hardware.
So your IMEI is part of the phone which is either Sim Locked or not.
If you put your sim into what ever is in phone is in your car your number will be the same.
Once you have sim unlocked a device it remains unlocked.
Like I said you lost me.
3. Once the phone has been unlocked if I change the ROM will it have to be unlocked again?
No - Once done it remains unlocked regardless of rom or radio upgrade.
(and if you buy a new Simlocked Blackstrone you cant use your old code as the lock is based on the hardware)
What prompted the question is reading the Wiki few areas actually simlock the phones....therefore my assumption is a different ROM means it could become unlocked.
--->point me to the page that you feel needs updated, i will have a go at it.

Does the sim card work in a different phone?
Can you get a replacement sim card?
I remember that I had some issues with my phone one morning and I happened to walk by an official T-Mobil store while in downtown Chicago. It turned out that a number of specific, older, sim cards did not work due to an update on the network. So the T-Mobil guy just copied my sim to a new one and i was on my way with a working sim/phone.
One small point to know: I had the sim card for about 8 years. It was still Voice Stream (now T-Mobil). So it was a really old sim.
I have 2 new sim card working perfectly in my old X1. For none of them I have to insert pin code in X1.
In X2 I insert the pin code and then receive the error message. May this be due to the fact X2 was locked?
But shouldn't have been the loading I did of
GENERIC_UK_R3AA035_CABS.rar.
unlocking it?
what am I missing?
to unlock my X2 is GENERIC_UK_R3AA035_CABS.rar enough or should I purchase on the net an unlocking code?
thanks
no, you have done everything right so far. now just do the sues upgrade again and it'll boot the english rom (based on what cabs you downloaded on your phone) and your phone should be working fine. tell me how everything turns out. and good luck

Flashing a different language/rom has NOTHING to do with the fact that your phone is SIM LOCKED. And it will stay sim locked until SIM is UNLOCKED. But not with flashing a language or rom or anything via SEUS.
I am trying to use a chinese sim card in my canadian x10 but its not working. It asks me for a sim card unlock code when I start the phone.
It is rooted and flashed so I thought it would work. Is there anyway to make it work in China?
Hey all,
I bought a locked to Rogers Network SGS4 1337M. I am a Bell customer, so I had the phone unlocked. The phone for some reason shows some Telus icons.
More bothersome, the wi-fi no longer works on the phone and gets stuck on "turning on". I tried factory reset etc...all to no avail.
I have decided to install Odin and flash an older version of android onto the phone as I heard this fixed the issue for some people. I have a few questions...
1) Can I flash a stock Bell mobility rom onto the phone even though it was once Rogers? (phone is now unlocked)
2) The phone came with 4.3, can I still downgrade? (I don't know if the other person upgraded it or not)
3) If I flash the Bell rom, will it re-lock the phone?
Thanks!!
Hi,
I have a Defy MB525 on T-Mobile running CM 7.2. The phone is getting old and has some hardware problems, so I bought a more gently used one on eBay. I've rooted the new one and successfully installed Bootmenu, 2ndInit, and CM 7.2, but when put my SIM card in it, it wants an unlock code. I tried the soft unlock method discussed here, but no success. I then tried the troubleshooting recommendation involving airplane mode and terminal emulator, but that didn't work either. I then got the idea to backup my "old" phone and restore it to the "new" one, and that went smoothly, *BUT* while I no longer get prompted for a SIM unlock code, there is an "x" next to the service bars and the phone indicates "no service." Both old and new phones have EPU93_U_00.59.01 baseband, old phone does get service, while new one does not. I'd love to hear any advice people may have. Oh, new phone was on Moviestar service . . . sorry for the stupid question, but when I've been prompted for a SIM unlock code is it Movistar's unlock code that I'm being prompted for or is it T-Mobile's? I assume that SIM unlock code is associated with the phone and not the particular SIM card itself--is that right?
Thanks,
Doug
I guess what you need to do is install Baseband switcher 4.1 or 4.0 and configure it so it grabs the correct baseband
