I know it's a scary title. I am not completly new to Windows Phone.
So far I have Deveolper Unlocked and Interlop-Unlocked. I then installed Root Tools.
First Question am I SIM Unlocked? (Lost my TMO card so I can't check the easy way
Second Question I installed Root Tools and I have the most current update 8107 or something. When I go to Root Tools I get an error about not having a Samsung phone.
Last Could be connected to number two I tried to Debrand thinking that I thought might Sim unlock but it didn't even seem to debrand still have all ATT programs and start screen.
Sorry if I missed the answers I have been searching around but these are the last things I have not found info on.

OK first post here. I have done a fair bit of reading and searching but still have a couple of questions. I have just bought a Captivate. Made 3 phone calls with it and that's it. It has already been rooted and unlocked by the seller. I know if I upgrade to 2.2 via KiesMini it will remove the unlock and root. After the update can I unlock and root again. ? I hear Super One Click might root it. I have the code numbers from the original unlocking. What can I use to unlock it? Thanks
you dont lose the unlock by updating it. even if you did, you have the code so it doesnt matter. you dont need it unlocked if you are staying on ATT....unlocking is so you can stick another providers SIM card in and use it on any GSM carrier
I am not on AT&T. I have an AT&T phone that's used on Roger's. That's why it needs to stay unlocked.

if you have the code then it doesnt matter if the unlock goes away.

Use the SIM you intend to use plus the code previously extracted. [APP]SuperOneClick v1.7 (Root, Unroot, Enable Non-Market App works on Froyo.
Update. Unlocked and rooted phone. Updated with Kies Mini to Froyo 2.2. Phone remained unlocked after update. Root was gone. Used SuperOneClick 1.7 and root was back. No problems at all.
Hey, I've been trying for a few hours now to unlock my X8. The last method I tried, which I found on this forum, was simply unlocking the bootloader via flashtool, which was said to be able to unlock sims. However, I can't connect to a network using my second sim card, as before: nothing's changed.
My phone is rooted, it's a 10 model (so no danger, seemingly), and I've downloaded Omnia but that'll cost me almost 20 to get an unlock, so I'd prefer to do it myself if at all possible. Cheers.
EDIT:
After searching more topics, I've heard mixed things about unlocking - some say it's impossible for free, some say it can be done if I flash a new ROM, others say what I've already done should be enough (and it clearly isn't). Can anyone confirm/deny that flashing a custom ROM could unlock my phone?
I was reading this thread about how to install Stock ROMs in the Lumia phones.
The process seems pretty easy. But since I'm a lurker the system did not allow me to make my question there. So here it goes.
If the phone was from a carrier, say AT&T, and it was unlocked by them to be used in any network, will the installation of a stock ROM:
1) Keep the phone unlocked because, DUH! is stock firmware
2) Keep the phone unlocked because it was unlocked before
3) Lock the phone again because some setting is lost
So, any idea about this? The installation of a stock ROM would be a solution to unlock a Lumia phone?
No. To SIM unlock one the only way is to enter the code given from the MO that branded the device. Now... if the device has been previously been unlocked, it will persist flashing because the cellular settings are untouched when flashing. (Unless its stuff relating to the MMS and internet APNs, that will be overwritten when it is reflashed.)
Hi guys, I recently traded my Oppo find 5 for a AT&T note 3.
The Find 5 was unlocked and I was using Tmobile. Although the Note 3 is locked to ATT.
I tried using these threads to unlock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494634
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475552
the only difference is I used an app called Kingo to root. I also dont have the original ATT sim card that came with the phone, I used an old one I had laying around.
Other then that everything seemed to have gone smoothly. Except after I reboot the phone after the region unlock it says "invalid SIM" and asks for a sim unlock code.
Could you guys help me figure this out? I thought it would be a lot smoother and this is my only phone.
Thanks!
You must have the latest software update. If so your baseband version ends with "mj5".
The 2 threads about unlocking you posted worked on baseband version "mi9" only.
You have to buy an unlock code now.
Sorry!
Hi there!
I am from India and having this phone from past 3 months, has any one rooted this phone? Is there any safe way to do it, I know if we root it warranty will be lost, but we can unroot it leter and get the warranty back.
This is a question, not a how to guide. Please change your thread tag to "Question".
As far as rooting the device, try the standard unlocking process - enable OEM Unlock in Developer Options, then use SDK Platform Tools to issue the unlock command to the device.
Ok, Changed the thread to Question.
Any body rooted this phone ?
