Hi everyone!
I've purchased a Toshiba TG01 locked to o2 germany. I've bought a unlock code from ebay which wasn't working, after that the seller provided 4 more codes*sim lock 1, sim lock 2...) which also where not working. After that I found another person who was providing codes and he sent the same codes for me.
So i thing the codes are correct, or they can be wrong?
My imei is 359239022482898, and the unlock codes was
IMEI Number Product Code SIM Lock 1 SIM Lock 2 SIM Lock 3 SIM Lock 4 SIM Lock 5
359239022482898 07951326 92385513 58739296 94345357 01302070 93821949
Could anyone please help me.
Hard reset was done, and other rom was installed-no result

Hello,
I managed to get a brand new UK Model HTC Flyer 32Gb on Ebay for£280. I was told it was sim-free.
Everything was fine until I put in a Three Mobile (3 UK) 3G Pay as you go sim and the HTC is telling me it is Sim Locked - please contact operator.
I have just paid £20 to MobileUnlocked.co.uk based on the IMEI number and 2 hrs of waiting no unlock code.
Does anyone know what the default UK Telco a HTC model direct from HTC would be locked to?
How many unlock attempts do I get on the HTC?
What happens if I go over the unlock try amount?
I've just done a hard-reset so at least the tablet is usable again, no longer prompting for SIM Network Unlock Code (8 digits).
Any advise please?
Thanks

They are not locked by default.

Unlimited on the device but usually three before the sim goes to network locked state.

You'll need the PUK corresponding to the sim to unlock the sim.

It is unclear whether the device is sim locked or the sim card is locked out if you can clarify that situation then it might be possible to help.
I have put both a 3UK sim and also a O2 sim into the HTC, each time it is asking for a network unlock code. Unless I do a hard reset it stays on the unlock request screen become unusable.
I think on that basis (but I am unsure) I think the device is sim locked to a specific UK based network.
Right all sorted - just to avoid confusion (because I was confused!) my HTC had a network lock so that only a certain sim from a UK telco would work.
Finally got the 8 digit unlock code and both my 3Uk and O2UK sim work on the HTC now.
Thanks

I've got the same problem,how did you get the 8 digit unlock code,thanks.
I had to pay £20 and provide IEMI number to mobileunlocked.co.uk
There are other SIM lock unlockers out there just need to search on google.
(Admin not sure if link allowed so delete if necessary regarding above).
Hi,
We just wanted to post a public apology for the delay that 87k experienced with their order. Usually our HTC unlock codes do take just a matter of minutes, but their order did take a while longer because of delays with our supplier.

Hi everyone and Happy New Year!
I am running latest Jelly Bam Rom.
In the last year i've used several sim numbers from different Carrier.
Now i'm using Orange. I had given this phone to my brother, because for the next week or so i'll be using an HTC 8X.
Anyway, as he plugged in his number, which is a Cosmote/Vodafone. The problems he is asked a code for unlocking the network.
How do i unlock it and how did it locked on only one sim number?
I believe it is asking for the SIM code, not the Network unlock code.
Whenever you get a SIM card, you also get a SIM PIN number and a SIM PUK number.

The SIM Cards are not blocked by a pin number.
How to get sim unlock code for my O2 sony U st25i model without paying any amount.
Please help me.
I'm pretty sure you have a PUK code somewhere for that. Or else you can contact your service provider.

PUK has nothing to do with SIMlock. PUK is a code you can use on the phone if the phone blocks because you tried a wrong PIN more than 3 times. That PUK code comes with the SIM card your phone provider gave you (with the phone itself when you buy phone device and phone service at the same time).
SIMlock is a lock on the phone that some phone providers include on the phone to prevent the phone from being used with a SIM card of other phone providers.
It is the phone provider the one that has to provide the SIM unlock code. I bet some providers will charge for the code.
Here is my story:
I bought my friend's Telus locked S6 Edge last week when he upgraded to the new S8. Right now I am am using Virgin as my service provider and bought an Unlock code from an online third party and that code did not work. While the third party unlock shop was helping me figure out my the problem a third attempt at entering the code caused the error message to change to asking for a PUK code. I got my PUK code for my SIM card from my Virgin account and that fixed nothing. Phone is still asking for the PUK code. I contacted Virgin and they updated my account with the S6 Edge's IMEI number but after 24 hours the new code (which was still the same digits) also did not work. I have since tried three other active SIM cards from different subscribers from friends and relatives. All cards are asking for a PUK code. If I put in the original owner's SIM cards the phone works without a problem.
I contacted Telus and bought the Unlock code directly from them (it was different from the code I got online confirming this all started because of a bad code), and it was also rejected, but the phone is asking for a PUK code so I was not surprised. I tried to force the SIM unlock with the Telus SIM inserted by using the #7465625*638*# to bring up the network unlock prompt and using the new Telus provided code, but it came back as unsuccessful.
Have I somehow screwed up my new to me phone? Can anyone help?

The PUK code needs to come from the original network it was locked to. As you have tried that and it didn't work I'm also confused as to why it won't unlock.
Right so.....
It will usually ask for a PUK code when the phone has a SIM lock enabled. Then if the SIM lock is entered incorrectly 3 times it will ask for a PUK code, obtained from the network to unlock it again.
Did your friend have SIM lock enabled?

With my friend's SIM inserted in the phone it works like the day he got it. No prompts for codes or PUK warnings.

I just realized I did not understand the question. My friend never enabled any SIM lock. He did not even know that was a thing.
Did you find the solution as i am having exactly the same issue on my phone ?
I bought the phone on eBay, and it's a UK phone, originally on the BT/EE network. I was promised by the seller that the phone would be unlocked.
After inserting my local network SIM card (from carrier in Denmark), the following message is displayed: 'SIM network PIN blocked. Enter SIM network PUK'.
How do I unlock the phone to be used with any SIM?
RossTeagan said:
This means that the previous user, or somebody else, tried to use another code instead of the NCK (SIM network PIN) code and freezed the device, this is why it asks now for the SIM network PUK (https://www.unlockunit.com/blog/fix-sim-network-pin-blocked-enter-sim-network-puk-message/).
You will need now bot the MCK (defreeze code to defreeze the device) and then the NCK (Sim network unlock Pin) to actually unlock your phone.

No it's not that! Your sim came with a code, 0000 or 1234. If you tried for more than 3 times to unlock sim with a wrong code, the phone ask for PUK code. This code is provided by your carrier with you sim. Now there are two posibilities: you entered the wrong pin for more than three times so you must contact your carrier to provide PUK or the seller has done that and you need his PUK code.
By the way, your phone should work with another sim! You could try that to confirm that the phone is working ok

There's a difference between the PIN code and the SIM network unlock PIN. They might look the same way, but there's a difference.
And the message "SIM network PIN blocked, Enter SIM network PUK" is related to the phone's network codes. Notice the "network" before PIN and PUK

Just ask somebody who has this issue, when the phone displays this message, how many digits they can input in the field if they can input 4(for a normal SIM PIN) or 6 for the actual SIM network unlock PIN

For free nobody! I payed 50 euros to Vodafone for network unlock.
There are services from 18 to 30 USD, just search for sim unlock sprint on google.
I'm having this problem but the SIM PUK isn't working please advise
I got my Galaxy S9 SIM Network unlock PUK from UnlockBoot - they generated the code remotely in 10 minutes. I contacted Samsung and AT&T support but they refused to give me the network unlock PUK. UnlockBoot managed that in 10 min. You can use them also.

If your asking how to unlock your sprint phone because and you do not have the money to pay it off then no one can or will be able to help you.
Someone else asked that kind of question (different carrier though) already, and the link below was the response from a moderator
