I took my H900 to the Philippines and paid a phone shop 500 pesos ($10) to unlock my phone, and they did it. Worked on Globe and Smart after that. They used an octopusbox or octoplus, not sure which.

Then a day later AT&T finally emailed me the legit unlock code. (oof)

The problem is, tethering didn't get unlocked. And now it won't prompt me for the unlock code, so I can't enter it. I'm back in the states and tethering works on AT&T, but I'd like it fully unlocked everywhere.

What can I do? Can I revert somehow and then use the factory unlock code? Or is there a way to unlock the tethering separately now?

Sorry I'm a noob, so please be explicit..... Once I did install all the tools to put a custom ROM on a Chinese market HTC, but just bricked it (it wasn't going to work anyway, I just didn't know any better)
