Guys,
I just had a quick question. Does anybody know if I do a factory reset on the phone, will it erase the SIM unlock that I did already from T-Mobile? My phone is extremely sluggish and locking up. However, Iam worried that doing a factory reset will "lock" the SIM again to T-Mobile. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
You can unlock your phone as many times as needed with that code. The code is locked to your device!
It shouldn't remove the SIM unlock.
I have never tried with the Vibrant, but in me experience with about a dozen other unlocked GSM phones, a factory reset has never re-locked the phone.

Yup, same here.
unknown amount of odin's and roms 2.3 included, never a relock.
Factory reset doesn't even have access to that partition.
You should be able to factory reset with no issues. Once that unlock code is in, that phone should stay unlocked for life.
no, but I wish it does because some people with corrupted imei are having a hard time to fix it.
anyways, you'll be fine.

so does a factory reset wipe out the unlock, and re-lock my vibrant to T-mobile?
If it does then just use the same unlock code because your EMEI doens't change. Correct me if I'm wrong.
No never

Once unlocked always unlocked
I was going to use mobiletechvideos to root the N900T I am planning to buy for use on AT&T. I might even buy a factory unlocked phone.
They have an option called "sim unlock" - They say it is a lower level unlock. If I bought a factory unlocked phone, would a Sim unlock be necessary (if I travel internationally)?
A friend got me a note 3 unlocked from the uk . i did a factory reset and now after booting , its asking for sim unlock pin. How's that possible? i have tried different sims but still same problem. can any help out . How do i regain access to my networks. Thanks
The imei is there . the baseband is intact nb1 but still it keeps asking for enter sim unlock pin
Probably some security software on there.
