I have a samsung vibrant and i called T-mobile to ask them for the network unlock code, i got it and put in the new sim,
waited for the prompt and it asks me for the network code. so i have my network code and enter it in. and press "unlock" and it doesnt work.
it just says that "Network Unlock Unsuccessfull" and its driving me insane. what am i doing wrong? i just wanna use this on at&t right now its a paper weight.
also ive tried the unlock script here on xda and nothing all it says in nv_data.bin not found.
thanks

From my understanding, once you get the code to a phone.
If my phone is a T-Mobile based phone do I,
Put the SIM card of the carrier that I plan on using the phone with -in my case it's WindMobile.
...and then enter the unlock code?
Or do I put an entirely different SIM (not TMobiles, not WindMobile) card in the phone from a 3rd carrier and enter the code and once entered turn the phone off, put MY carrier's SIM card in and power the phone on?
Anyone?
I just got my codes, kinda, sorta (not really, but I am) anxious to get my Vibrant going here.
Thanks.
Thanks.
So, doing it through the dialer, I got "Not registered on network" .
Will move to Vibrant specific fora...they'll help you
lol thanks Mod
Anyone have any suggestions on what I should do?
The T-Mobile code given is giving us a "network unlock unsuccessful" prompt after we enter the code they gave us.
The IMEI is right, so... dunno...
Hi,
I am having a Samsung P7500 Galaxy tab,
I had sent it overseas with my wife, bu before that I called my service provider and get the Sim unlocking code, then I tried with different Sim and it was asking code we enter and it was all good. she took it overseas and enter local Sim, it was working fine, then move to different city use there local Sim, working fine but when she tried to enter different Sim again, it was asking for Sim unlocking code again,
she has enter too many codes before calling me, like 00000 then 12345, so and so, when she called me and I had given the code which I was having from service provider, she entered and getting message that network unlocking is unsuccessful.
Now what????? If my tab is permanently locked, or is there any option....
if rooting is solution, or something els.
I tried to Google it, but nothing found about it.
Thanks.

I am still waiting for answer guys, its 3 days now....
any way some one suggest me that its PUK locked, get the PUK code from service provider....
I have a question the same sim card when I am entering in different mobile its working fine, in tab its showing network pin unsuccessful. i can see the main screen of tab. the only problem is there is no network. can anyone figure what the problem can be...???
The sim is working ok in an other phone? That means it is not locked and should work normally in your tablet if you enter the correct code. Obviously it is not..
You could try a factory reset:
- hold down left volume button while booting
- in menu press left volume button again to select recovery menu
- right volume button to enter recovery
- select wipe data/factory reset
- reboot

Same problem

Hey guys,
My phone was blocked with Orange France. Newly I got my unlock code from Orange by email. I tried it, but I always get "network unlock code unsuccessful" message. Before trying the original unlock code, I had tried 2-3 times another codes. As I understood from some blogs my phone is frozen even it does not show like this.
NOTE: if you get "network lock unsuccessful" it means that the i9100 is actually Phone Frozen (even though it doesnt display it, as i9100 dont display Phone Freeze like other samsung phones do)

I rebooted it, but it did not work still. I searched website of Orange but there is nothing related to this problem. Also they do not supply this kind of codes, instead of this they asked me to go to customer service, but here does not exist Orange service.
When I check with *#7465625#
1. Network lock [ON]
2. Subset lock [OFF]
3. SP lock [OFF]
4. CP lock [OFF]
I requested 3 times unlock code from Orange by thinking that is it really wrong code. But no. Every time I got same unlock code from Orange. And here I can not find any shop for this problems, also after this problem I am not sure to make payment online on some websites which are working only for these issues. When I try this solution:
1. Turn off the Wi-Fi on your phone and then turn device ON without SIM card.
Once it's on go to phone dial screen and DIAL: *7465625*638*# it will bring you to the NETWORK LOCK screen.
- in MCC/MNC field enter code for the service provider your phone is originally from (eg 31026 for T-Mobile USA)
- in CONTROL KEY field enter the UNLOCK code
- hit OK
- you should get a message: LOCK SUCCESSFUL
Power phone down, insert SIM card you want your phone to work with and power on.

Yes, I get same message as LOCK SUCCESSFUL, but still unlock code request unsuccessful. I think I need unfreeze code.
Model number: GT-I9100P
Build number: IML74K.BVLP8
Android version: 4.0.3
Kernel: 3.0.15 - I9100PBVLP8-CL364024 [email protected]#3
Unlock code: 05175247
I rooted my phone and downloaded [root] Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock apk. But it could not find also UNFREEZE CODE. I rebooted and tried so many times, it still can not find it.
IS THERE ANOTHER WAY TO FIND UNFREEZE CODE ?
If you help me at this issue, I will be pleased.Thank you in advance!

Sure I tried. To use another sim by another network is the aim.
If you have any idea I will be really appreciated.

Hi all,
I have a strange problem with my phone. Hope someone will be able to help me.
I was not sure if my phone is unlocked when I came on holiday. Bought and put a different provider sim card and there was no signal. Also showed nothing to type unlocking code, so I thought that maybe something with a new sim card is wrong.
I bought a second card from another provider to be sure. On the screen appeared: enter sim network unlock code or something like that. ok so I have to unlock.
Now the strangest thing. when I put back my old sim card (o2), on the screen appeared again: enter sim network unlock code!
Since then I can not use the phone because it still asks for the unlock code.
I tried to change the soft but still do not have signal and no longer asks for the unlock code. anyone know how to force a window to enter the code?
I tried unlocking code from a cellunlocker but not working and and when i switched on my mobile is showing invalid SIM card.
someone has any ideas of what i can do with it?
sry for my english
Could use some help unlocking my Galaxy Ace S5830.
I was following instructions from this thread.
It's locked to Virgin Media, I don't have my original SIM but I have my mothers which was a Virgin SIM and I put that in and was able to get mobile data and make calls.
The two codes I could find in bml5.img were:
15362914
80460902
Not knowing which was correct, I tried both multiple times.
It says something like "USSD Code running" but then says "Connection problem or invalid MMI code”
I get the same “Connection problem or invalid MMI code” even when I dial *#7465625# to check if the phone is network locked.
#7465625*638*80460902#
#7465625*638*15362914#
So I was trying these, I read that adding , at the end can help, it didn't.
Tried restarting the phone a few times, checking service providers and it shows a list of about 4 but all but the one the SIM is for say (restricted), so it didn't work.
Tried a new SIM in it, still asking for unlock code when phone starts up.
Any ideas?
I went and paid for an 'unlocker app', and all the app did was read the .img file and give me the two damn codes I already found myself and told me to put them in the unlock screen when I turn the phone on, but having already tried that multiple times it didn't work.
Is there any other way I can unlock it now that I have the codes?
Thanks in advance.
Does your phone need to be on a stock/non rooted ROM for the unlocking to work?
