Hi, I'm new to the forums and new to unlocking phones. But I wanted to unlock my vibrant, I have my unlock and unfreeze codes but when I put a different sim card in it just tells me to call customer care and gives me no option to put in an unlock code. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Please post your findings as I am looking into doing this if/when I ever leave the country. Thanks

Hi, i`ve bought an unlock code for 5 euro. And i recieved it. But the problem is i dont know how to enter it. When you put a foreign sim card to locked phone it asks for code i think. But photon does not ask any codes. How can i enter the unlock code i bought? Was that just a waste of money?
Please HEEEELP!!!

yes that was a waste of money. the phone is already UNLOCKED for international usage but it is locked for any other sim carrier in the USA. outside of usa you can use it freely.
But i wanted to get rid of the registering process on startup

start up process is common with all android devices.
one time process as long yu do not factory reset.
Next time donate 5euro to some dev so that we have some goodies.
Hey guys,
Im gonna be going overseas and I called ATT about an unlock code and they provided me with one with my atrix, however I cant try to unlock it until I get a sim card for another carrier.
I wont be able to do that for a couple days, but I am just wondering one thing. They told me all I have to do is put in a different sim card and reboot the phone and a pop up will show up asking for an unlocked code.
Will this work with Cyanogenmod 7 installed as I currently have it, or do I need to revert to the stock 2.3.4 to unlock the phone?
Thank you
Logically yes; there's no other way to remove the sim lock other than having the code so cm7 or not, it's still there.
My logic though, don't come complaining if it didn't work out! :-$
hello everyone,
been out of the scene for a while, and I just sold my dell streak, however, the new owner cannot use his new dell streak as its locked to AT&T. I obtained an unlock code from them by calling them, but the streak is on MIUI and the menu that ask for the unlock number does not come up, is there any other way to do this? do I have to flash an original android firmware to it? Thanks in advance.

you said it is sim unlocking... therefore (usually) it is phone related locking... not from at&t... there should be a menu for security > sim card lock
im just trying to unlock the phone to be used with TMobile, it is locked to AT&T not sure if it's phone or sim. AT&T gave me a code to unlock it but when I insert the sim the menu to unlock it doesn't pop up

open Settings > Security and search for something similar to sim card lock... you should get something from there...
if you get nothing.. most probably the phone is network locked... my phone is network unlocked where i can insert any sim... and it does have sim card lock in case there is someone else want to use the phone and use another sim card in it...
If you mean CARRIER unlocking and not the sim card itself, you have to install a stock rom. Sim unlocking isnt exactly something that can be easily tested on a custom rom, so that's your only reliable way of doing so.
If you mean the actual sim card itself, cant help ya
anyone care to share some rom links, all the ones ive tried dont work or a whole bunch of ads come up.

Hello,
so I've trying to unlock my galaxy S2 GT-I9100P (Orange) for 2 days and maybe 20 hours without any results. I am really get pis*ed about this and I know about all threads here and I was reading a ton of them and was trying everything I read, but my phone is still unlocked and I started to hate it (my phone)...
I've tryed rooting with S2 GT-I9100P insecure, secure kernels, other kernel and even unrooting and then rooting and etc.. And after every root tried using Galaxy S2 SIM unlock (tryed GalaxSim Unlock from Play Store also but it doesn't run, just shows black screen) and nothing! No unlock code found and still it's asking for unlock code when other SIM card is inserted.
I did a lot of read here and it looks this forum have a nice community so I thought should really get help here even my post would be like a hundred other ones and annoying. So I would really appreciate your help guys!
hey guys
please someone..
Have you tried any of the online unlocking sites? I found they can work quite well. Run you model phone as well as provider and unlock sim through google and see what comes up.
If all else fails try contacting Orange for the unlock code.
For as start try sim-unlock.net

Man it's paid. The only thing why I tried to root it and to unlock because it doesn't cost. There's like 1000 sites like simunlock to get unlock code for like 50$.
And orange still doesnt want to give me the code
Ok first off I'm sorry if I'm place this here I just didn't know what section it should go in.
Heres my problem I have an old alcatel onetouch 4010a that my mom wanted me to fix for her and It started to fail. I tried restoring but it couldn't
so I had to use a custom rom. Let me go back a little i had to pay to get the phone sim unlocked a few months ago and with this new rom it says enter sim me lock. Do i have to pay again? I looked around alot already and cant find anything this is my last oppstion. Please help if you can.
Thanks
They only did some dirty hack to unlock your simlock. I'd go to the place where you got that "simlock unlock" and DEMAND that code from them or a refund.
If they won't do it then buy that code from somewhere online or try to find a generator for your device. Keep in mind that after 5 failed attempts your device will get locked forever. So you should either go to the place you got your "sim unlock" or buy a code online.
