Network Unlock u8800-51

Hi,
Is there anyway to remove the network unlock of my ATT Impulse (U8800-51)? I try to flash it with different roms and it always ends up asking me for a network unlock code. I bought one on Ebay but it does not work. Thanks

How does an upgrade of firmware just SIM unlock a phone?
Can anyone else confirm this?

It changes the carrier configurations and somehow unlocks it. Try it

Huawei releases general versions, not specific ones for carriers like Samsung does. So when you flash it it doesn't include your carrier lock information. Just flashing B512(is an international version) over another BXX will unlock the phone.

Flashing vs Unlocking

Hi!
I want to get a Samsung Galaxy S4 but I was wondering if I could just flash it?
In exemple:
I get a T-Mobile phone and I want to get it to work on AT&T network, can I flash the ROM so it recognizes the new sim card or unlocking it is really required?
Thanks =)

You need to sim unlock. Flashing a rom won't do it.

Carrier unlocked, How does bloatware work?

If someone unlocked their phone via 3rd party and was unlocked from Rogers, and I use my Koodo sim, do I get all this crap ware installed automatically? Confused about how the pre branded Galaxy S7 Edge works when unlocked

Yeah I think as soon as you insert a SIM to an unlocked S7, it's going to download carrier-specific bloats

Theoretically, what if you just update without a sim card? Then after all updates complete, put the sim afterwards?

I also need to remove the bloatware
I am gonna flash a firmware from sammobile

Is the Unlocked 935U model a better buy?

I know some of you guys just flash the "U" firmware, but I want to just buy the phone unlocked. For the ones that just bought the unlocked phone, instead of flashing the "U" firmware, did you notice any problems using the phone on the VZ network? Do updates actually roll out faster?

No problems at all. I had the U model when it first was released and kept alternating between vzw, tmo and U firmware. Everything worked per the appropriate firmware. Moreover,b it's cheaper on BH photo since they don't charge tax as well

Go to B&H website there you will find the information.

Thanks!
Did just discover it would be pointless for me because in the future if I want to use it on ringplus it won't work

The answer is NO. The Verizon version is CDMA only.

Nope, I flashed the unlocked version on the verizon model and after a week it started running like ****. Just spend an extra 100$ and buy the unlocked model on swappa and call it a day.

You're kidding right? Every major Verizon phone in the last two years is factory unlocked. I'veused a Verizon LG G3, G4, S6,S7 , and S7 Edge on ATT.

Unlocked on AT&T

Hello, I just bought an HTC 10 from someone, its unlocked,S-off, and rooted. Currently running NuSense 7.0 with no issues. ATT installed my nano sim, set up APNs and I get 4gLTE. Question is..can I also run US unlocked roms as well?!? Change firmware and/or radios?! If not, could someone direct me in what and how to do it being I'm on ATT?! Thank you for your time.

Yeah you can fully convert to unlocked ruu and then run unlocked based roms. In fact it would probably be better in your case.

Thanks. I'll do some searching around the forums to see how its all done.

By the way. The 10 I bought is Verizon branded. Is this still possible to RUU to US Unlocked? I forgot to mention that. Thanks.

Nevermind. I've read through the forums. Found the info. Us unlocked super cid running viper nougat on ATT flawlessly.
