Flashing a rom or RUU won't remove s-off, as long as it's s-off, doesn't matter if the bootloader is locked or not.

I don't know of any way to lock the sim, I'll have to leave it up to the GSM experts to answer.
I suggest you update your subject with that question instead of just a Q...
The Rezound does not have SIM lock... Never did. no amount of flashing anything will lock it.

I never had a SIM carrier phone before , been with Sprint all my life, tomorrow ill be switching to T-Mobile and didn't think about our phone being global is it possible to activate through t-mobile by unlocking or what will I have to do ?
Your in luck because the photon has just been unlocked to use domestic gsm carriers via the japanese radio. Check the android dev section

You should probably give it a little more time to get a proper write-up since flashing radios can be on the risky side. Good news is that will be very soon

1. Your Photon must be "unlock" , this mean unlocking the boot loader so that you can flash "custom recovery" and use that to flash custom Rom or Radio.
2. The GSM unlock thread is providing the "Radio" from Japan's Photon that does not contain the locked down on US GSM network (t-mobile, at&t). Once you flashed that to replaced the current Sprint Radio, it should work with t-mobile or AT&T, however it will not work with Sprint CDMA.
There are 2 types of unlock:
1. Unlock Boot Loader
2. Unlock SIM card
So be careful.
what are the commands to actually flash the radio?
I know how to unlock the boot-loader and all that, just never flashed a different radio

If you already unlock the boot loader and had CWM recovery installed.
1. Then go to this thread first, Read and follow the procedure to get rid the Sprint activation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265816&highlight=how+to+bypass+activation
2. Go to setting and set mobile network to GSM
3. Go to this thread here, Read and download the KKDI radio and flash the Radio through CWM recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664212
4. Insert your SIM card and reboot.
It should work. Beware that it will not work on CDMA Sprint any more after flashing the GSM Radio.

yes is root
what do you mean by unlocking network? you mean sim unlock the phone so you can use it on any network? the free way is only possible if your "S-OFF" being rooted or not has nothing to do with it...

Thanks and sorry for my bad english

Once you sim-unlock your phone it will stay that way no matter what you flash. The only time the sim gets locked is if you get a new phone.

I understand, so where is phisycally the block? How it work?
Well my case is like this!
I'm looking to buy a motorola photon online,it was on spring and it suposed to be unlocked for every carrier. i'm from mexico, we use telcel.
The motorola photon only comes with GB android, and i've always like to modify my phones with roms, root, etcs.
Before i do any transaction i'd like to know if i can instal ICS roms or any other cooked roms without loosing the unlocked carrier?.
I know that theres a lot of ways on unlocking carriers like imei and other programs, but if i loose it, the unlocking is gonna cost me something?
Unlocking the bootloader is only to install roms? or i can do an unlocking carrier by unlocking the bootloader? it cost me anything?
This method by Lokifish Marz is to unlock bootloader or carrier???

unlocking bootloader and installing a custom rom will not make you lose sim unlock

sim unlocking is usually only possible via SOLD sim unlock codes so yes, if you need to sim unlock you have to pay

unlocking the bootloader is done to be able to flash custom recovery, custom ROMs and custom Kernels, improving the performance and usability of your device

bootloader unlocking and carrier unlocking are not related. bootloader unlocking can be done for free by yourself with the help of the info here in XDA. SIM unlocking requires a code you usually have to buy.

losing 4G shouldn't be of much concern to you. Telcel doesn't use WIMAX 4G so you wouldn't have had any use to it anyway.

if the cell is 2.3.5 already it cannot be unlocked and you CANNOT downgrade it because you risk HARD brick
The sim is only locked in US.
All other sims work.
But stuck on GB. Even if you could flash ICS the photons kernel is so old the video doesn't work well.

Hey,
I need some help, I want to unlock my AT&T HTC One. I already have the unlock code with me.
But Right now I am on a custom ROM, GPE 4.3. I was inquisitive of two things:
1. If I can unlock my phone from the network while being on Custom ROM?
2. Can I unlock it using an international SIM, which is not working since the roaming is disabled.
To add to the first point, if I can how do I do it? And If I cannot think, I know the method to come to stock. But then again, after I come back to stock, how do I unlock the boot loader again and root the device?
Any help will be highly appreciated. Please let me know as soon as possible, I need to travel soon
I had problems SIM unlocking my AT&T HTC One with GPE conversion as well. It wouldn't unlock at all.
I simply just flashed ViperOne rom and tried the unlock it and it worked. I think you can only unlock with a sense rom but I am no developer so I wouldn't know for sure.
All you have to do is put the other SIM card with the sense rom and the option to unlock with an unlock code should come up and work.

This is a known issue that you can only unlock using a sense rom

I know it may be out of context but I have a sim unlocked AT&T HTC One, so if I'm going to unlock bootloader, root and flash a custom ROM then are there chances that my phone will be SIM Locked again ?
