Hi,
I just bought a Sony Xperia X10 (orange phone). I am trying to get the phone to work on Vodafone Ireland.
I got the unlocking codes on a site. tried them the phone seemed to unlock.
When I power the device up it asks me to enter my pin as normal. Then I am propmted to enter a Network unlock pin. I have tried entering the Unlock code, my PIN, my unblock code. It keeps telling me that pin is wrong & for me to contact my network operator.
When using an orange SIM, phone works ok.
I presumed that the unlock code was wrong so I went to a shop to get the unlock code & they supplied me with code I got over the net.
Any one have this problem, or now to resolve it. I have all providers and repsonse are as follows:
Orange: You are not existing customer.... Cant help you
Vodafone Ireland: Contact orange or go to a shop to get it unlocked.
Internet site: Still awaiting reply
Any one got any ideas or solutions.
Thanks
what is the exact message that you get when you enter the unlocking code:
1- Wrong Code
Or
2- Sim Locked, Contact Opertor.
??!
If the phone tells you to contact the operator it means that the wrong unlock code was entered for more than 5 times... so maybe the guy you bought it from entered some unlock codes for fun?
The phone is now blocked and the right unlock code won't help you anymore... I have the same problem and as far as I know the only possibility is to go to the operator who locked the phone, in your case Orange. I'm sure they will help you, but they won't do it for free of course
same problem here but i buy from AT&T any unlocker avelable please help
Call att. I have never had a problem with them telling me the correct way to reset the phone for free and get the pulk code. I have read other posts that if you've had the phone for six months they will tell you the unlock code.

Hi,
Only if you have sfs backup from before you blocked the PIN. You need to restore,
and then enter the valid PIN you got.

Hi,
I just been told in another forum that some networks provide PUK codes from
Nokia database. Maybe you can call the guys who sold you the PIN and ask for
PUK instead, not sure if it will work.

Hello Support,
I am in very bad situation.i bought Motorola Atrix MB860 4G from US via eBay and then I took it to India and when i use local sim card it asked me network unlock code. By mistake i gave more thn 10 times wrong code and now this phone is totally locked and not accepting correct code.
Please help me to unlock it,it very important and urgent for me.
I requested the unlock code from AT&T and they provided me the 8 digit code.
But meanwhile i tried some random unlock codes and because of that my mobile device is now not accepting correct unlock code that is provided by service provider.
I understand from AT&T that i exceed the limit for entering the correct code,So it seems hardware locked and can not reset the max number unsuccessful attempts only hardware manufacture can help me to reset that counter or unlock it for any other service provider.
I come to know from the internet that this is happening with many other mobile users who tried to connect to any other service providers and now their mobiles are now useless as devices are fully locked and not even access original service.
Hope i will get any positive reply else this device will be useless and i loose very important stuff from device.
Hi,
I got my Terrain months ago and using AT&T. Seller already given me the unlock code and I won't unlock it until now, I am going to change carrier, and forgot how to enter the unlock code. I sent message to seller but it seem he already forgot me and telling me all phone were unlocked before sent.
I am stuck with using my old phone, I appreciate if anyone can tell me how to.
Tried #7320*code#, #3210*code# or **00012*CODE# from Google but no help.
Thank you !!

You have to stick a non-AT&T SimCard in the phone. If the phone is unlocked then it will just connect to the carrier without trouble. If the phone is locked it will immediately ask you for a code and if you don't enter the correct code or cancel, it will not connect to the carrier. If you do not put a SimCard in the phone at all it will not prompt for an unlock code.
I have two of these NEC Terrains, one unlocked and one locked. Just to confirm the difference between the two I stuck a non-AT&T SimCard in the locked one. That is how I can tell you for certain that is how this phone works. I'm not just making it up or assuming this is how it should work, I've seen it with my own eyes.
Good Luck.

Hello
I purchased a brand new Samsung Galaxy Alpha Direct from Vodafone UK. My sim is under Orange/EE.
I purchased a NUC code from an unlocking vendor online. I entered the correct IMEI number as requested and received the code a few days later. I entered the code and received a message saying "Network request unlock unsuccessful."
Went through troubleshooting with the vendor and could not get it working. A refund was given.
I decided to Vodafone UK to have the phone unlocked direct through them as I thought maybe a dodgy code was given. I received my code yesterday, followed the instructions and again the same message appears.
I was growing tired with this so decided to take it to an independent experienced phone unlocker/repairer and explained the situation to him. I give him the code and he tried various different things and was baffled as this should be an easy process.
The phone is running android 4.4.4
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have a phone here I cannot use :crying:
Thanks in advance!
dear same thing happened to me I post a thread on this then I get no answer , but u can use this website to unlock your phone be sure will be unlocked but try to fill information that where you already purchased your phone not where you want to use OK ?

wish that will help you
I just unlocked note 4 from Vodafone. I got 4 unlock codes. One is for sim and the other 3 for aomesthing more deeper in the sistem Just worked with the sim unlock code. My question for you is: if you tryed 2 different ( online and Vodafone) YOU SHOULD GOT THE SAME CODE FOR SIM UNLOCK because is strictly related to your IMEI. Is that the case?
P.S. 1.On Google play is a program Note 4 unlock. I got my unlock code in 50 minutes in the day of international launch of note 4. You should try that.
2. Write with Odin a stock firmware and try again your unlock code after that
3. To enter your unlock code you have to insert an non accepted sim in your phone, power up your phone and enter the code when you are asked. Did you do that?
Try this

If your phone does not ask for the unlock code:
1. Turn on the phone with original Sim card or without Sim card
2. Enter #7465625*638*NCK/Network#
The phone is now unlocked.
If your phone does not ask for the unlock code:
1. Turn on the phone with a foreign (Unaccepted) Sim card
2. Then enter the following sequence:
#0199*Unfreeze/Defreeze#
#0111*NCK/Network#
#0121*SCK/Subprovider#
#0133*SPCK/Provider#
The phone is now unlocked.

Hi I would like to remove the sim lock so I can use any provider with the phone, I have the Unlock code from EE but they say to type *#*#7378423#*#* then go to service info then sim lock and see if "Network " if it has a zero after it then you need to contact Sony GB Support to get the Counter reset I have done this and sony was no help so Can anyone help with how to reset the counter so I can input the Sim unlock code.
Android version 6.0.1
Many thanks
Aaron
go to where the phone was bough originally, if it has X mark and a 0 the phone cannot be unlocked via code
Ok so that means I have to send it to sony for them to unlock it and remove the Hardlock. I did contact sony and they said I needed to send it to them But I have been told the same thing in the past and this excellent Forum has always helped.
if you bough it directly to sony yes, but might be weird they carrier sim locked the phone, only carriers do simlock and they should remove that lock for free or a small fee if you paid full price for it already
