[Q] Unlocked Atrix

Hello my friends,
i was in vacation and a I bought a unlocked atrix 4g. My phone have AT&T logo at the back but it is unlocked for any GSM carrier.
OK ! I returned to Brazil and now i want install the homebase ROM.
My doubt is ..... which kind of ROM should I use ? International or AT&T ? I dont know which group my phone belongs. Because it's unlocked but he has the AT&T ROM.
Thanks for the support.
So it is an at&t phone right?
Lets try to find The logical thing to do here...
Its an at&t phone with at&t ROM... Uhm What do you think?

Thanks for your reply.
Yeah, following the logical though I need install the AT&T ROM. But my doubt is:
The cellphone is unlocked and I use it with other GSM carrier than AT&T. If I install the home base ROM for AT&T smarthphones there is some risk to have my phone Locked again to AT&T carrier ? Or, for the reason I have a unlocked cellphone and use it in international area, I should install the international ROM ?
Thanks for your attention
I own an unlocked at&t atrix with my carrier in México wich is Telcel. With an at&t ROM. No problem at all.
Doesnt lock again

The phone won't be locked again once it's carrier-unlocked (sim unlocked).
It's totally unrelated to the ROM you use for your phone. You can install any ROM you like on your phone. This is from my own experience.

Really thanks for the answers!
My logical thinking was... my phone have a different configuration to accept all gsm carriers, and i was affraid to lose that configuration after install ROM's and other things ! A noob doubt ! Thanks for the attention

I have downloaded two ROMs for my E610 (Spain):
Code:
379 ESP/SPAIN 20F LGE610 361.75 MiB 208
378 VDS/VODAFONE(SPAIN) 20E LGE610V 377.81 MiB 159
but none of them is operator free (unlocked): after SIM code, network is still unreachable. So my LG L5 keeps locked for the spanish operator MoviStar (also known as Telefonica).
How could I know which one of those ROMs is operator unlocked?
Thanks you.
I have romanian official rom. I had rom from vodafone and i flashed rom from different operator. It left my phone unlocked
There was some rom international which u can use to loose sim lock
Sent using my Allview p5 quad
Paid service
There is a paid service i usually use : unlockphonenetwork.com copy/paste it in your browser
The price is about $6-7 to unlock an LG phone.
Change rom to not branded one, this should do the trick. I have E610 from Orange PL and after flashing v20 rom without brand I get rid of simlock.

Yes u can unlock it for free but you are going to risk breaking it described here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285431&page=45
Quoted Text By "scott14719":
Service provider gives a code. The phone asks for the code to be entered when it detects a sim from a different carrier. If the phones owner didn't screw something up via the "free method", the code is taken and the phone is sim unlocked.
The "free method" involves using the service menu to restore a previous version of the phones software (NV memory) that sometimes includes an unlocked modem. It works for some. The problem is, no one seems to know exactly what is on each phones backed up NV memory. Sometimes it just doesn't work (no other damage), sometimes it doesn't work but also caused the carriers unlock code not to work (need to USB unlock at that point), and sometimes it doesn't work and major screws the phone in the process. In this case, people have reported highly diminished signal, or unrecognized sims even with their own original sim card.

Just call your carrier and trek then your traveling overseas and would like the unlock code. In most cases they'll give it to you. For free!
Tried that guide and it did not work! Still get the sim unlock code message. Also the carrier is rogers so it cost $50 to get the unlock code lol

Easiest way to unlock it is to downgrade to 4.2.2 and then run RegionLock Away. Once you're done you can upgrade again and it'll remain unlocked.
I have a 5.0.1 rom, can I downgrade to 4.2.2? also, is that the correct version? I've been looking for unlock codes, but I can only find for the international version.

You can't downgrade to 4.2.2 from 5.01. Flash the 4.2.2 modem, root, run regionlockaway, flash back to 5.01 modem, i747m should be network unlocked.

mine is am i337m Distributed by Telcel Mexico, are the instructions right? (flash 4.2.2 modem and stuff)?
Already rooted with Auto CF ROOT, installed TWRP (jfltecan), so I'm pretty sure the model is correct.

Yes, for me no problem. I don't know if my IMEI will be used to do some things illegal but phone was unlocked in 2 minutes and no problem for 6 months.
