Root Did I just lock my phone?

[MB89]

So,
I've acquired another HTC Evo 4G CDMA phone. I've went through all the steps for unlocking and rooting it, (thanks OCN for helping me before). Put MikG 3.11 on it and left it at the set up screen ready for whoever will buy it. I was looking through some things online and checking about if it was possible to flash sprint's Evo to Verizon service... which i guess is possible, sort of... but thats not what this thread is about... I became curious as to what SIMLOCK was in bootloader, so i clicked it, thinking it would have options or something, but instead, it just Simlocked the phone i guess... It doesn't seem to have any locks on it after i did the Simlock feature, but, now when i turn on the phone, it loads up past the MikG set-up screen and goes right into the home screen, as if i have set it up already... and i get a box that pops up saying that I am roaming... if I want to turn on Roaming... Now, it says i have no signal where i did before... I was reading a little bit and didn't quite find the answer to what i just did... What in the hell did i do? It obviously didn't lock any SIM card because the phone is CDMA... But, it seems like something has happened because of that. I am trying to sell this phone as "unlocked, rooted, ready to go at set-up screen"... would re-loading MikG ROM be sufficient? I don't know what this Simlock thing did.

Hmm, I've seen that on the bootloader screen also, but never knew what it did.
I guess if I were you, I would wipe and flash the rom again. It wouldn't hurt to do it

Perhaps Ocn will know. He is a smarty robot, he is

Lol I did the same thing pressed power by accident while it was highlighted. Now I can't change the partition to ext3 . Glad I'm not the only one Damian stupid moves in recovery.

hmmmm i never really tried that and have stayed away from using it. curious you might need to reprovision it with sprint. i unfortunately forgot what the msl codes are to do it. you might need to call sprint or take it in. as long as you are on a stock rom it should be easy enough for them to fix it.

Is that both of us? I hit sim lock on my sd card also

I switched out my sd card real quick and formatted it no problem. I haven't messed with the card I locked. But it wouldn't switch to ext 3 after I locked it up when I went to partition the sd card and still didn't after I tried to wipe using Amon ra.
