Hi,
I have AT&T locked phone but they don't want to give me unlock code. I tried third party unlock website but they don't have code for my IMEI. Is there any other option to unlock device? I don't really care if I would loose warranty. Will rooting device and installing some other ROM help or any other way?
Thanks for help

First of all, there's no other ROM's yet. Second of all, nope. Unless you can S-Off the device like with HTC, nope.

Sorry if this might be a neweb question, but I couldn't find the answer online.
Is the phone carrier locked? If so can it be unlocked? Will flashing a new rom solve the problem?
Thanks!
Yes, mine is locked in Vodafone RO.
The method i've seen till now is with sim unlock code using imei number. Hope there is another way, because i don't want to pay 40$ for a code.
i'm new in the android bussines and i don't know about flashing and stuff.
i heard rumors about rooting your phone and installing custom android. that will unlock it.
hi im confused, i want to network unlock my orange UK x10i,
if i use the bootloader unlocker does this unlock my network unlock i.e. allow use any sim?
if no does anybody know of a reputable site in the UK which is priced good and reliable i.e. allow future updates, as during my search i am sure i read if you use a certain unlock tool it can hinder updating the phone? but i just want to flash custom rom ?

No, it does not mean you can use any sim card.
my phone is network unlock, i cant upgrade my firmware via seus or se pc companion. but you can use flashtool to flash roms
thanks you both, after searching ive finally gathered it has to be sim unlocked by
factory, network provider.
using sites like http://simlock.com/ and da vinci team does this affect the bootloader unlock? i.e. flashing different kernals? im sure i read in the bootloader post that using 3rd party unlock your bootloader is locked again?
so for instance if i sim unlock from the sites mentioned, is my boot loader relocked or will i have to unlock it again after sim unlock?
at the moment my x10i is network locked to orange but 2.3.3 root/unlocked bootloader via flashtool.
I went whit cellunlocker.net
the best, used it on 3 phone.
takes about an hour to receive a code
and it do NOT interfere whit unlocking the boot loader
free unlock code from [email protected]
I called att today and to my suprise they gave me free unlock code for my sony x10 I bought it from a buddy of mine that got two phones lasy year and didnt pay the first bill
ps: can i simunlock with this code on my bootloader unlock phone
sry for spam thread
Hi there!
I was provided an unlock code by Dell, and unfortunately I had imprudence not to rewrite it somewhere. So, my phone is currently unlocked, but I want to figure out what is my unlock code.
Maybe somebody knows, is it possible or not?
Waiting for your replies

the best advice I can give you is call Dell Technical services and they will gladly provide it for you. let me know how it goes.
If you've already unlocked it, the code itself isnt useful anymore as there's no way to reuse it. It's not possible (to my knowledge) to relock a phone under most curcumstances.

Unfortunately, I called Dell Support Center only 1 time over Skype, when I was in Ukraine.
They asked me the copy on invoice, which I hadn't have because I was not provided it by the seller on Ebay. And also they asked my EService and ServiceTag. I fib a lot of different reasons on the question, why I cannot provide them the copy on invoice, but they didn't break. Later, my seller contacted the Support Center and they provided him a new unlock code. That was the solve of my question. And as I've already told, I had imprudence to lose it.

I do know that if I use unlock code, it can't be used anymore. But.
The reason of creating the new topic was that I'd flashed my Venue with MIUI, and on the boot of the phone, it requires a sim pin, and then it requires a network pin or smth like that. But after I've flashed official 325 firmware, this message is gone.
Now I want to back to MIUI, and I'm interested, what will happen.
Later I'll post a result.
Thanks everyone for answers.
Flasing different firmaware is not going to restore SIM lock; once your phone is SIM unlocked it will stay that way. SIM pin is something different. IIRC the default SIM pin is 0000 or 1111. You should be able to get that from your carrier.
Hey,
Just wondering if Unlocking the Bootloader and rooting the phone will allow access to unlock the SIM.
If it doesn't then could someone provide a way to unlock it?
Sim unlocking can only be done by the carrier mate You'll have to ask them to do it for you. No other way
That's unfortunate to hear, thanks anyway
Yes buddy, rooting and unlocking bootloader give you the chance to flash custom roms only.

You need to get the code from AT&T or use one of the pay services to get an unlock code. All you did was unlock the bootloader which lets you install custom roms.
