Hi guys. I recently bought U20i and i want to remove sim lock on it.
I am not serious unlocker or seasoned phone cracker but i used to unlock my nokia and my SE via some usb cables i think decade ago LOL. From my experience one need to know exact phone spec and according to this there should be some archives and programs which can be executed to sim unlock phone.
I already tried to use search option and i've read quite some threads without any success. I see similar threads already exist here but they all mostly end up in arguing about something other with no real and relevant resource. Some say that it can't be done freely, some say that can be done only via ordering unlocking code, some claim that they did it by flashing rom etc.etc. Very confusing. Also i am bad at english so it's pretty hard to find what i want. Hopefully you'll take my honest apology for opening same thread all over again but i really hope that this time someone will post some results.
So basically here are my question:
Can i SIM unlock this one via my own usb cable and some sort of flasher,patcher or whatever is called? If answer is no then no if yes could you provide link with tutorial?
Once when phone is sim unlokced can i put custom android on it without loosing sim unlock capability? I am asking this since i read here that some people loosed their sim unlock after they applied custom android. Could it be the case or this is just some sort of user side error..?
Is there any benefit to upgrade my phone with custom android? I have 2.1update1. If i upgrade to bigger version am i going to get something special or just different look of icons?
But mainly i am interested in sim unlock. If there is some sort of debranding involved etc. i really don't care i can accept whole new factory settings, just as long as phone will support english.
Thanks in advance for any help
