I have a himalayas xda2...have hopefully unlocked it with software can i check without a new card?I have not decided which pay as u go card to get yet?
Which would be the best to go with?
Go to one of your friends and borrow a sim card of an different provider than yours.
If the phone works -> unlocked. If you have to enter a SID-Code or anything else than the Sim digit -> locked....
You just hve a problem if no one of your friends have an other mobile provider. But in this case i wouldn´t choose any other provider for myself.....

Network unlock and dismiss button only when trying to unlock samsung with Claro carri
I Have the same situation here . It looks like it is with all the phones that are under Claro in Puerto Rico. Even thus we have an unlock key , there is no way to enter it since when you boot it with another SIM card it only shows a "Network Lock " message keylock pad logo and a "Dismiss" buttom. So no where to enter the codes. Can anyone please help or I will need to sell my galaxy to a Claro subscriber.
Thanks

same here what I need to do for ask me the code? ??
Hi dev
I did all that using the Unlock sim application by chanfire.
1. I use Odin
2. Use superoneclick
3. Run the Galaxy unlock sim app
4. got my code and write it down.
5. Reboot phone with ATT sim card
6.Phone reboot with a keylock pad screen, "Network locked" and the only thing theat let me to get off that screen is a buttom that reads "Dismiss"
There is no way to enter codes , no place at all. I wonder if there is something claroin PR did to the phones ?

Why you didn't just buy the int'l version of the galaxy SII like many of us have done here?
I did not because i received this unit from a claro user that was transfer to India and he sold it to me (2 weeks ago) , that is why . But I will be selling it to any claro user who might want it since I cant get thru all this and then I will buy an international one.
Thanks any way for everything . Looks like there is no way to go around this.
put in a foreign network so
card, and it'll give you emergency call only screen, punch it in there

I think you should contact your SIM card provider (telephone company) and ask for the unlock code (PUK) which is linked to your SIM card subscription and how to use the code to unlock.
Yes u need PUK code from sim card provider
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
I appreciate u all......
But its not about PUK code.....
Its that the phone isn't allowing any sim to connect to the network.....
the phone is blocked to the network......
Please cheak it out in X10 --> Settings --> Location & Security --> Set up SIM card lock --> Lock SIM card....
Its is in any x10 with any 2.3.3 rom.....
B careful..... dont block ur x10, like me..... :'(

A SIM card is locked by 2 or 4 passwords
PIN1
PIN2
PUK1
PUK2
PIN1 and PIN2 are programmable by the end user the code is 4-8 digits long usually you have 3 attempts to get the code right, if you lock PIN1 or PIN2 out you then need the PUK1 or PUK2 which is the PIN UNLOCK KEY which is an 8 digit code provided by your Service Provider get this code wrong 10 times and its time to buy a new SIM card
Well this depends on what kind of "lock" you mean. A SIM card can be password protected (usually 3-6 characters long) by going into the Security Settings on your phone which is usually where you can chgange your phone's lock as well if it has one.....if you enable a SIM password this password is saved onto the SIM card itself which is a good security issue because if somebody steals your SIM card they can't just simply put it in a new phone and be ready to go....they'd have to know your SIM password in order to even get the phone to fully load up and connect to the network. Another thing that can be done is a SIM card can be locked due to someone putting in a wrong password too many times....if you ever get to this screen on a cell phone call customer care because if you try too many times you will fry your SIM card which would mean you have to shell out another $20 or so.....if that doesn't sound like what you meant than to my knowledge the answer is no but otherwise I hope this helps
So according to this......
the password is stuck in my x10....
which i cannot erase, or change......
coz my sim is working on other cells.......
so, wat should i do now...???
Plez Got no proper solution till now.....
M restless without my x10.....

Please can anyone help us,i'm without my phone for 5 days,there must be someone who can give us an answer!!!
Sorry if i'm spamming,but i'm hoping that someone here will see this thread,and maybe give me a helpful answer.I'm also hoping to see the creator of this thread,i want to know is there any progress on his phone,is there a way to repair this?This phone maybe doesn't cost much,but it isn't a small amount in country where i live,i can't afford myself a new phone!
Ok,
If you have a phonw wich is code frozen and no network after unlocking with code you should upload this ROM r1_de-branded_ot990-update-signed.zip and after that udating the phone with the update software wich you can download from Alcatel home page. After that your phone should work as before...

I solved my problem,had to pay extra money,and now my unlocked phone is working just fine
Ok, same problem, jodanks way does not work but looks prommising to put back phone in factory state for possibly warranty issues.
From Tommy I hope I'll get the contact where he did fix his phone.
From eBay unlocker I got message I need Furious box.
hi guys first time here, i have galaxy s2 i9100 says claro when booting, not sure which country, it has spanish and portugues in the languages ., when i do the test for network lock, all four values say off, when i put my simple mobile Sim card , i swap the screen after starting it says network locked, and a figure of padlock, and a button of dismiss, nothing else no place or option to put unlock code, i press dismiss, and back to use all functions of the phone , but no phone service or network, i realized when i put the simple mobile card it addS gsm on the network options and it gives me t mobile and at&t as options when click any of them it fails to register to any, i gave it to my expert friend , he told me it is hardware locked for too many attempt to unlock it, and he will do software unlock , after three days he told me no way it is permanently locked no way to do it at all?? the phone runs android 2.3.4 model gt-i9100, baseband version i9100uhkg4, kernel version [email protected] #2, BUILD NUMBER GINGERBREAD.UHKG7, MY FRIEND TOLD ME IT CAN ONLY WORK ON ORANGE CARRIER WHICH WE HAVE NONE IN US, I EVEN OBTAINED UNLOCK CODE FOR IT BUT NO PLACE OR OPTION TO PUT THAT CODE, PLEASE HELP THANK YOU
You flashed a branded ROM, Claro is a mexican mobile network.
Why don't you go ahead and flash an unbranded ROM?
either way, you're gonna have to deal with the sim lock.
if you have a code, just insert a diffrent carrier on you device and the code screen will pop up when android starts.
here's a few threads that could help you with that matter:
