Hi,
Sorry if this has been answered, I tried searching and reading but can't get an exact answer.
I had a Cingular 8125 G4 and used "lokiwiz03a" to unlock it so that I can use an older AT&T sim. Anyway, does this just do a sim unlock? Also, I can't seem to use Wifi. Do I have to CID unlock to use the Wifi? I hit the Wifi button and it looks like it is searching but then goes to the Wifi emblem with the "X" over it.
If I do have to CID unlock to use the Wifi, is there a conflict b/c I sim unlocked?
Thanks in advance,
Trinoh

Yes - a CID Unlock costs money on a G4 - paying imei-check is the only way to get it done.
Do I have to CID unlock to use the Wifi?

No - If that was the case nobody would be able to use WiFi. More info would be necessary to ascertain why you can't use it. Perhaps there are no Wifi access points in range.

Nope
Thank you. That answered my questions.

I got my S2 through my carrier (Telenor Sweden), who told me early batches would be unlocked as they were still finalising how to lock it. It does indeed accept other SIMs just fine. As I understand there are four methods an S2 can be locked however:
1. [NCK] Network lock
2. [SCK] Subset lock
3. [SPCK] SP lock
4. [MCK]
How do I verify if my phone is locked in any of these ways? No sure what they entail to be honest.
Thanks!

Np. Did you have similar circumstances to mine?
=D thanks thanks for the tip. all off here too!
"Personalizatiob Status"?
Is it only me who's seeing "Personalizatiob" on the SIMlock status screen? FW version KE7. Can anyone report a text fix on a different version?
Mine says that is all off, but when I put a SIM from another carrier doesn't work!

What carrier is that? Remember that the phone has to support the type of network as well.
Hi there,
Know this post is a little old but think my brain may explode!
I have a SGS2 and trying to sim unlock it. I have put in this code *#7465625* and says its all unlocked. Thing is it wont pick up the o2 service at all. I tried the unlocking apps and nothing was found or said phone was unlocked. If I make a call says 'Mobile network not available'.
It picks up the o2 APN settings which are all correct I believe, hope someone can help
2nd day of searching but the search still goes on for the answer! (lucky me! lol)
OK if anyone else has this problem might be worth looking into wether the IMEI has been blacklisted mine has!
I used a website called checkmend cost me £1.99 but soooo worth it!
Hopefully shouldn't be a problem returning it to CEX!!!
I have checked my phone, and it says that it is unlocked, everything is [OFF]. Yet when I put another SIM in, the phone won't accept it? How do I know if my phone supports another SIM card or not?
I bought a my touch 4g for my gf on ebay. they sold it as unlocked. How can i verify that as she already has tmobile and I have boost. is there a dialer code to check for this?
thanks

You test it by placing a different carrier's SIM in the device and seeing if it works (you get signal, ability to make a call, etc.).
You can get an unlock code online. You enter the IMEI of your device and websites (I can only find those that charge for it) will give you the code to unlock it.
You can also contact T-Mobile, but I don't know if they'll give it to you.
I think s=off also removes the lock.

S-OFF does not carrier unlock a device. The OP's device is supposedly already unlocked, but they just want to test if it really is.
Is it possible to do the adb reboot oem-unlock using a sim card that is not from T-Mobile? As I said in the title I am using Net 10 and I'll leave the phone plugged in all night and I still don't get the menu.
I also tried calling T-Mobile and they said they won't give me the unlock code since I did not purchase from them and am not using their service. I also tried LG and they said no since I could damage the phone.
So you want to unlock the bootloader, or the simlock? Sorry, dont quite get it...

Try getting the code from Net10. As long as you have a SIM that registers to a cell network and has internet access the bootloader should unlock. If you don't have internet on your plan try leaving wifi connected. Don't forget to set wifi to always stay connected in wifi settings.

Sorry, I realized too late to edit that I should've specified. It is sim unlocked, I want bootloader unlocked.

ohh... I had seen that about leaving the WiFi always on, but it never registered. I do have a data plan with them.
So, is it the same procedure, I give Net10 the IMEI and they give me a code?
Does it matter that it is not a TMobile sim? I've seen scattered reports of other users having issues, but they seem to give little details. I am not sure what is enough to give. I tried a logcat but have nothing from that. I also just did the OTA of V20F, I am going to go back down to V20D before doing the unlock to see if that makes a difference.

You need to have the Euro P760 ROM. That is the only one that works if you want to unlock the bootloader.
This is the thread you need to ask these questions in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277639

Hi everyone,
Everytime I open the phone I'm asked to enter a Sim network unlock PIN.
At first I talked with my carrier, which tried to give me few PINs to unlock the network lock, but none of them worked.
After reading a while on the internet (and also as it says on the box) I suspected that this is about the Region Lock samsung implemented in it's new devices.
I bought my device in Europe (and well, I don't live in Europe).
I talked with the shop I bought the device from just to make sure the device is not sim locked, and they claim that they indeed sell only sim free devices, so I turned to Samsung.
After talking with Samsung in the country I bought the device, I was given an unlock PIN, but unfortunately, it doesn't work.
Do you have any idea what could it possibly be?
Maybe I tried too many times wrong PINs and the network is locked now? Don't know already....
P.S.
All the phone features works fine (if I go out of the screen with the PIN request), except for mobile internet and calls of course.
Images attached below.
They claim wrong that my friend is sim locked & you will need to find out what carrier its locked to, that carrier will have specific codes.
At least that is my understanding.

Thanks, but based on what info are you so sure?
I talked with the shop again and they INSIST their devices are sim free.
I need to have some kind of proof to argue that.
And also, I'd like to hear more opinions please...
BUMP - any ideas please?
Have the shop were you bought it from replace the phone or you can call the carrier that the phone is lock to and request the unlock code. It should be very easy to determine that by firmware build number (For example: G925P is Sprint)

Just confirmed it's a G925F... so it's not sim locked, as the shop stated.
This phone is simlocked to a network. You need to find out what network it is locked to then get a unlock code.
Once you enter an unlock code it will be unlocked to all network....
Here is a video

Ebay is a cheap place to get unlock code but you NEED to know the original network

How can this be simlocked? its G925F...

Why can't it be? that is a model number for UK handset but it doesn't mean anything else. All UK and europe (also middle east) models are G925F , some are network locked and some are not.
Accept it and do something about it. Ask for refund or ask the seller to get you unlock code.

Ok thanks. Thought all G925F are sim unlocked and cannot be locked...
Is there a way to tell the network it's locked to? (because I know what the shop is going to say: "no, its not unlocked so we dont know the network...")
Not sure, try GalaxSim Unlock from the play store. It might tell you

Doesnt seem to support S6.
Regional Lock
Your phone is regionally locked., which means you should unlock it with a Europian SIM card before using in an other country.

If you cant unlock by codes, buy usb unlockhere. Takes only a few minutes once the process starts

What you need to do is check with the shop where the phone came from? Which country the phone was bought. Once you know that you can try different sims (they are freely available from providers or ask your friends). The unlock code is a combination of Phone IMEI number and the network so you need that information.
Let me know how you get on...
Hi,
Is there any way to unlock a prepaid Verizon LG V60 while abroad ?
The phone is not asking for a network unlock code
so inserting your overseas sim card, it doesn't say any thing? and when trying to make a call, it doesn't ask for unlock code?
maybe try factory reset and hope the tmobile verizon app appears again... i believe it's a software lock. and once there is a way to flash other roms, then that might help.

Usually only the AT&T version is the one that asks for a code. Other will have to be remotely unlocked.
ok cos i think my tmobile one asked for unlock code, but my friend did it for me, so not sure. if only we could flash new unlocked rom from another region.

May I know if the verizon unlocked your phone? (While abroad and not connected on verizon network), If yes, did it follow the 60days unlock policy? Thanks in advance for your answer.
