hello....i've get the the unlock code but i have cyanogenmod and i don't know how to introduce it...
Guess you are referring to the SIM Unlock code.
You need to put a SIM card for another carrier and power up the phone, once you do this you will get prompted for the Unlock Code.

I had this problem. Cyanogenmod does not prompt you for an unlock code when putting in a different sim.
You have to flash back to a stock rom, and then put in your unlock code. Then flash back to Cyanogenmod.
I have the same problem

As I said above, Cyanogenmod does not prompt you for an unlock code after putting in a SIM card from a different network.
You have to flash your phone back to a stock rom, boot up the phone with a different SIM, enter the unlock code, then flash back to Cyanogenmod.
I guess you can make a backup with Clockworkmod and then restore it afterwards. But I am not sure if the phone will be locked again.

Temporary workaround for SIM Card prompt
I have the same issue with my Motorola Defy+ (CM 10.1.20130331-NIGHTLY-mb256) in Australia using Telstra
Here is a way to force the SIM card unlock prompt to appear.
1) Boot phone - no SIM unlock screen appears - no mobile signal available (Network Unavailable) - that's OK read on...
2) Go to Settings- Security - Screen Lock
3) Change your Screen Lock method - I've tried Swipe and Pattern - both work for me
4) Once I have set the new Screen lock method I am immediately prompted with the SIM card unlock prompt
5) I enter the SIM card unlock code and I have mobile signal
6) Change your Screen Lock method back to whatever you want it to be.
It's an annoying workaround, but at least you don't have to re-flash your phone to a stock ROM, enter the pin and then flash up to the latest mod again.
Hope this helps.

Hello:
I can't unlock my M600 because when I put the unlock code, the screen changes to "Input SIM PIN", but when I put the SIM PIN, the screen go again to input unlock code (is a loop).
This is all steps that I have made:
1) M600 without SIM card inside, connected to ActiveSync. I execute Lokiwiz03a without problems, all ok, and I get my 8 digits unlock code.
2) Power off M600 and I put a SIM card of other company.
3) Power on M600 and I get: "Input your PIN code..."
4) I put the SIM code and after 4 seconds the screen changes to "Network Locked. Please input the unlock code".
5) I put the 8 digits unlock code and after 2 seconds the screen changes to Step 3 ("Input your PIN code..."), and when I put the PIN code, the screen changes to "Network Locked. Please input the unlock code"..., IS A LOOP!!.
I'm desperate, I don't know that I can do. I have make soft and hard reset but I have the same issue.
Please, I need help..., what can happen?, exists any alternative method for unlock my M600?.
Thanks for all!!

If you have another SIM card try that. Also, try removing the SIM PIN on the current SIM card. (you'll need another phone/device)
Solved!.
I have restore the full original Orange Rom and unlock code was work!!.
If anyone have this problem, I reccommended install the original rom and try again.
Thanks!!

I think it might be worthwhile putting that in the lokiwiz thread/wiki entry.
Sorry 3v5y, I'm searching the Lokiwiz forum but I can't find...
Please, tell me the direct link and I will put the issue with solution.
Thanks
Here's one link: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_Unlock_Sim
Thanks I3v5y.
I have modified the wiki.
Please see the result (the lines in red color is the lines that I have added) and if you believe it is necessary, rewrite my text because I think that my english is not good...
Instructions for SIM Unlocking your Prophet :
1. Download ftp://xda:[email protected]-developers.com/Uploads/Prophet/Prophet-tools/Lokiwiz03a.zip
2. Unzip Lokiwiz03a.zip somewhere on your computer
3. Make sure that your phone is connected via ActiveSync with the computer
4. Execute lokiwizMSL.bat on your computer
If it states: "Could not update itsutils.dll to the current version, maybe it is in use?"
Do the following :
*Copy the cab's from the Utils folder in the Lokiwiz03a.zip file to your Prophet and execute them.
(There are two files : "Cert_SPCS.cab" and "EnableRapi.cab")
*Execute lokiwizMSL.bat on your computer
5. It will give you the SIM unlock code after it runs, write it down somewhere.
* In some cases, if you get characters (or characters and numbers), indicates that your phone-pda was ulocked.
6. Just get a different SIM from the one your phone is locked to, and install it in the phone (you have to turn off your phone)
7. Turn on your phone
8. When it asks your pin code enter your normal pin.
9. It then asks you for the Service Provider Unlock Code: Here you insert the SIM unlock code you wrote down in step 5.
* NOTE: If you have a non original ROM, you can have a problem with unlock code, because when you put it, the screen
returns to SIM PIN code, and when you put the pin code, the screen changes again asking for unlock code...,
if this is your case YOU MUST CHARGE THE ORIGINAL ROM IN YOUR PDA, in this case only with your original rom you can
unlock the pda-phone.
10. That's it, enjoy your unlocked Prophet !
Hello All,
I have the Xperia X10 (SO-01B) from NTT Docomo, Japan.
Firmware version 2.1-update1
Baseband version: 2.0.52
Kernel version: 2.6.29 SEMCHost#1
Build #: 2.0.1.B.0.19
I have an unlock code but can't seem to figure out how to enter it into the phone.
When I put in either a T-Mobile or AT&T sim card, the sim card pic at the top of the phone has an "x" in it. I've watched the youtube video about unlocking and I don't get the screen to enter the code.
I've been reading a lot through XDA-developers and other sites and I'm getting conflicting info. Some say I need to flash a new ROM; some say I don't need to.
I'm not real confident flashing a ROM on this phone. Did it with my Treo years ago but I had a better handle on that phone...not so much with this Droid.
One last thing, where I'm staying only has an eMac for my use.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
If I remember correctly, all you had to do was pop in a different sim card (like a T-Mobile or AT&T) and restart your phone. The X10 would then prompt you to enter some sort of unlock code like a sim pin or something like that. With my once AT&T locked X10, any code I would enter wouldn't work. I suggest you fork over the $50 clams or so for a USB Data Cable unlock. It's a program that you pay for and download that gets you one unlock credit that unlocks
your X10. That's what I did and it worked beautifully. Just follow the directions, connect your phone to your comp, the flash tool will do its thing and it should successfully unlock your X10. Hope this helps.

thank you for the help and...
Yep, popped in the different sim card and restarted the phone. But I was never prompted to enter an unlock code. The phone goes right to my welcome screen and shows an "x" over the sim card.
Does the USB data cable unlock require a PC or will it work on a MAC?

Try pressing this combo from the lock screen when you got your SIM that works with the phone in.
Home>Back>Back>Home>Back>Home>Home>Back
That will get you in to the Service Menu. Then go in to the Service Info and press The SIM lock menu.
That gives you a screen that looks like the one i attached.
If your number next to "Network" says 0 you can't unlock it with a code.
Your screen will most likely have [ X ] when it's locked.

Believe you have to unbrand the phone there are other threads that talk about this.
BTW where did you get your code.
For Softbank , NTT Docomo etc.. you must get onto a stock rom ie an unbranded one for the phone to prompt you to enter the code.
If not you must do it using the USB cable method.
The unlock screen has been disabled on softbank and docomo firmwares.
I have the same problem~
How do I get my S3 to auto prompt for the unlock code? I'm just trying to unlock it for use on another network, and maybe apply a new ROM (I tried Android Revolution HD which looks cool)
I have the stock Vodafone UK ROM on it right now, but can put another ROM on it if I need to do that to unlock it.
It used to prompt me to enter an unlock code, but now it doesnt...
Thanks,
Paul
If you are talking about a pin for the SIM, then this is stored on the SIM so will not take effect if you change sims. If you are referring to the unlock specified in phone security settings, then this will get removed when you wipe the phone (such as when you put on a new rom).Just go back into settings and set the unlock code again.

Hi,
To have the asked unlock code, just put a SIM card from another carrier. You are on Vodafone so put an Orange SIM card (for example) and you will have the unlock code request (I presume you have it?).
But for move to another ROM you need to unlock your phone?

I mean the unlock code to use on a differ t network. It should ask for unlock code when I put in foreign sim.
Where us that option in the settings?
Thanks,
Paul
Yes if it doesn't ask, maybe it's already unlocked.

I have just used the GalaxSIm unlock and it's worked a treat so I'm using my Orange SIM... I expect that the O2 SIM may not be setup by O2 yet. I will have to call them to get that SIM sorted out.
Thanks for your help. This is now solved.

At some point in the past I setup an unlock code for my SIM card using ThunderShed (CM 7.2). I know the code, I have to enter it every time I reboot the phone (or come out of airplane mode). The situation is, the unlock code only works with the ThunderShed ROM. That sounds as weird to me as it does to you. Any other ROM I flash will not accept my unlock code. Even weirder, there is no option to remove the SIM unlock code in the Settings. "Location and security" is where it should be, but it isn't. So I cannot flash any other ROM w/o removing the SIM unlock code, and I cannot remove the SIM unlock code with my current ROM.
Any suggestions would be most welcome!
I got a SIM unlock code from Tmobile, however it is not working with CM10, so I went back to the RUU and tried and it still didnt work. Any ideas of what I need to do?
contact the person you got the unlock code from to re-enter the code.. or you can always s-off your device and use the unlock sim for s-off method which would disable the sim lock on your phone
