Hello all,
I just got an AT&T HTC one X (first smartphone in my life), rooted the phone and unlocked the bootloader by following the tutorial posted on XDA and official HTC bootloader-locking website. (Hail grankin01!) I am pretty sure that my HTC is unlocked (UNLOCK was shown on bootloader).
When I plugged in my SIM card, which was from T-mobile USA, I was asked to enter 8-digit network PIN number. I was confused and started to google related information and found no tutorial regarding how to unlock SIMLock. (It seems I need to provide IMEI and purchase from phone-hacking website.)
I have no intention to ask how to break SIMlock or PIN number but eagerly want to know the background and difference between bootloader(hardlock?) and SIMlock.
I am very new in the area of Andriod development and smartphone (touch-screen phone), the terminologies or concept I used above could be flawed and make no sense. I will be very appreciate if someone corrects me or posts related information.
Thanks!!!
