Rooting and Unlocking Network
Hi
Am I right in saying that rooting a device wont unlock the device to any network?
Sorry for such a noob question, and I apologise that this post isnt strictly in the right thread, but its about one of these devices. Im ok with rooting devices etc but network locked devices are a bit new to me. I know its possible through paid sites but we're hoping to avoid paying £20 to unlock the network. I think i've been lucky in that all android devices I've rooted havnt been locked to a specific network, or it didnt matter if it wasnt.
I ask because a family member is planning on buying an Xperia Mini Pro locked to O2 UK and wishing to use it on another network, and eventually in New Zealand and its £50-£100 cheaper from O2 compared to other places.
Any help/clarification would be great. Thanks!

Yes you are right. Rooting and sim unlock are not the same. Sim unlock must be paid.

I tried this on my Xperia Mini and it said that the root succeeded. However when I ran SetCPU it said that it was unable to determine the frequencies as it couldn't get root permissions. Any suggestions?
Edit: It worked. Thanks a ton!

Problem with this aplication ( cannot root SE with walkman)
SE with walkman and with latest software update cannot be rooted with this program.
You can use script that can be found on Internet ( I dont know may I post links since it is outside XDA forum)

I'm not sure if root will work on top of the latest update, but if you update after rooting, you'll always lose root. At least this has been true with any phone I've had in the past, regardless of brand.
If you do an update, you need to run the root again (assuming the root method is still compatible).
