okay you need to understand the core difference here:
rom flashing DOES NOT sim unlock your phone.
To sim unlock it use pof/olipro's sim unlocker or yes simply call att and tell them you are going overseas and you need your sim unlock so you can use it over there. They are legally bound to give it to you if you have had the phone over six months (i got mine after having the phone for 2 days without a problem).

do i have to unlock a locked device after flashing?

hi @all,
i bought a locked g1 on ebay. it will arrive next week.
i am going to flash a jachero on it and root it and stuff.
do i have to care about unlocking it or is that solved by flashing?
is it appropriate to ask if there are other ways to unlock it than buy an unlock-code on those commercial sites?
has anyone experiences with getting a code directly from tmobile? the device was in use for 3 month so maybe there is a semi-official way...
thanks in advance

ahh okay thanks alot. i saw that thread before but didnt really understand that register and unlocking is the same
no problem hehe You'll still need a SIM if you want to have internet access
yeah of course probably i should do these steps AFTER i flashed it, right?

help! my M8 didn't ask me about the unlock code

I try to unlock my Sprint M8,I tried T-mobile and AT&T sim card.
But my phone didn't likes youtube video, My phone didn't ask me about the unlock code. It just simply tell me the sim card is Invalid.
I have tried to use the unlock helper to unlock it, but it just unlock the internation lock.
I still want to unlock the domestic carrier lock.
Is it the ROM problem?
My phone use the Android 4.4.3,and it is S-OFF.
Please help me!
If you're trying to unlock your phone to use it on another domestic carrier, you're not going to be able to do that. SIM unlocking will work for international use.

L90 Network Unlock

Hello everybody.
So... I understand pretty good all terms about rooting, flashing and roms.
The thing is that I have a LG L90 with CM 13 and I've noticed today that it only accepts one SIM Carrier, it's network blocked.
I want to insert another SIM from another company, but I do not know how to unlock the network restriction.
Does anybody have any idea of how to do that?
I remember owning a samsung ACE and some guy developed a tool to unlock network just using an APK.
Please, xda, help me. You're my only hope.

Hello the only way i know how to unlock is to ask t mobile. Did you buy the phone directly from t mobile?, if so you can ask them to send you a unlock code which you can input in your phone to unlock. Simple as that.

Hi. I've tried with my carrier (telcel/Mexico). They told me, they could not unlock it. They tried but didn't work. Told me the reason could be because i have a custom ROM (CM 13).
So i'm looking for alternative methods.
Got back to stock and call your cellphone provider again. You can go back to stock using LG Flash Tool and the correct kdz for your phone model.
