i brought at&t atrix from amazon.com and i get the code from website cellunlocker.net but i cannot unlock my phone. does i input my code too many time? it say network unlock unsuccesedful. how can i slove this problem?
if i flash my phone it will fix it or not.
thanks anyway.
A few questions:
1) did you double check the IMEI to ensure that is the same on the phone as the one you sent to cellunlocker.net?
2) did you ensure you typed the code correctly?
3) Did you try both codes (they end you to codes, separated by [or])
IMEI: ,Your IMEI code should be here> code: <unlock #1> [or] <unlock #2>

yes. i already do that but still not work. should i flash my phone?
i think you should double check your IMEI by pressing *#06#.
if the IMEI matches the one you sent to cellunlock.net, contact them.
if you have'nt flashed before..
it shouldnt be anything to do with flashing your phone at the moment..
Activated?
Did you activate your phone before trying to unlock?
I had a similar problem with an unlock code I bought thru cellunlock.net.
They insisted that the code was correct but it did not work. After pulling my hair out for a few days I found out that the phone had to be activated before the unlock code would do its job.

hi,
I rooted my s2(locked to o2) and installed sim unlock app, after running the app i got the code install. i then turned the phone off and put in my t-mobile sim on boot it ask for the pin, i instered the code i was given and it said invalid code 2 attempts remaining.
I then when to an unlock website inputed the imei number and i was given the same unlock code, i tried it again just in case i had put the code in wrong before, however i still get wrong code 1 atttempt remaining.
can anybody what i am doing wrong and am i correct in saying that if i make 1 more wrong atttempt i have to use the unfreeze code, however i am reluctant to try the sck or spck codes in case the unfreeze code does not work.
Any ideas please

Hi, did you insert the code the app gave you as the PIN number?
You need to enter the SIM cards 4 digit PIN first before you are asked to enter the unlock code.
Sorry if i picked this up wrong, but from reading your post it sounds like that's what you did!
Unlock
Many thanks,

Moving to Q&A
How many attempts are you allowed
Can I find this on my phone
If at max can I reset
My phone is rooted and I ran unlock app the code wouldn't unlock phone
Do I use unfreeze code then try unlock code again
Any help would be much appreciated
Have trolled through the forums point me to a link
Cheers
If you are rooted, use Galaxy_S Unlock from the market.
[root] SGS2 SIM unlock code finder
Or you can use Chainfire's unlock code apk.
I have and the code won't unlock from O2
That is why I'm asking if you only get so many chances

Just a noob who's trying to understand as much as possible before actually doing anything to their new toy.
Reading other threads on this subject suggests that NONE of the routes to unlock documented on this forum (whether via an app or manually using odia's method) will work UNLESS you have hardware version 1.2.
You can find your hardware version by typing *#2222# into the dialler.
My phone is H/W version 1.4 - does this mean there's no way I can unlock it right now without buying an unlock code off the carrier?
Any way to check this on the phone and can it be reset to zero?

I'm curious to know what hardware version you have. Just type *#2222# into the dialler & report back what you see on the screen.
READ FTA HW VERSION
FTA HW VERSION : REV1.4
Hope this helps
Ive also given phone to a "SHOP" to have it unlocked
they couldn't get it unlocked either - this was going to be at a cost £20 - obviously i didnt have to pay
So im pretty sure that more than 3 attempts have been made to unlock phone - all i want to know is can you reset the "attempt counter"

There'll be an unfreeze code you can enter for that but if the methods used here can't find the unlock code, then they almost certainly can't find the unfreeze code either. For H/W v. 1.4, I believe Samsung have salted the encryption of the unlock & unfreeze codes stored in nv_data.bin, so any attempt at unlock based on odia's method will fail.
Hopefully one of the more experienced members will come along soon and help us noob's out, even if it's only to confirm that there's no way of unlocking our phones without paying the carrier for the code.
Phone unlocked :- ran app got unfreeze code put that in shut down phone removed battery(dont think this is necessary) restarted phone then put in unlock code SUCCESS phone now unlocked and all appears to be well.
Just going to thank author of post
MODS ok to close Thread I'm sorted

This worked for me too and I had tried every other method going. my phone was locked to orange and was rev 1.4
I also have HW 1.4.
But I'm not confidence with Helroz method.
I've heard that is different from IMEI method, and I prefer to do it like "buying imei unlock method"
So, is there any option to get unlock code for HW 1.4 ? May be unfreze also ?
I will put manually when the SGS2 asks for it.

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 ?
www.unlockunit.com
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.

Yes where to enter these codes and letters? I tried entering the numbers and nothing happens, if I try to press call it says Mobile network not available.
Hi,
I just bought a second hand Lumia 800 for parts.
Being carrier locked, I did the process to obtain the unlock code based on the IMEI.
Until that step, no problem.
Then, when I try to unlock it, it keeps saying, wrong unlock code (three attempts so far).
I've gone into a chat session with the carrier customer service and confirmed again the unlock code (i've checked IMEI on both sticker and *#06#).
What's wrong here???
Anyone faced the issue?
Thanks in advance for your help.
