After installing CM7 on my Mini Pro it asks for "SIM network unlock PIN" when i start it. Works fine with stock rom. If I press dismiss I can´t use any networks and it says "your sim card does not allow access to this network" when I try to set i both manually and automaticlly.
Any one with an idea what to do?
Tried both original PIN aswell as my PUK och my present PIN but nothing works.
EDIT: Solved it by using CM 7.1.0.1 instead of 7.1.0.2 By doing this i could bypass it by just pressing dismiss when it asked for SIM network unlock PIN
same here on FXP111 -.- not very cool
I've had this problem two times already: once when I first flashed FXP 109, and the second time when I flashed the recommended baseband firmware image from FXP's signature.
I don't know the underlying cause of the phenomenon, but it went away after letting the phone idle for a few minutes after the "SIM network unlock PIN" failed, and then rebooting. I actually had to repeat this procedure two times each time to get the phone to register in my carriers network once more, but it worked fine ever since.
Don't know if anybody is still reading this, but here's an explanation:

Hello everyone. I have one Hero100. I have the code for unlock but the phone has failed to unlock. It's locked on orange. When I enter the code , I get no service on the screen. and when I restart it, it asks for the unlock code again. How can I go about this? Its a bit strange.
sounds like orange gave you an incorrect code...
you have put a NON-orange sim in when you try this, yes?
if it fails again, go back to orange and ask for the correct code, as they have the wrong one.
The code is working. When I put the Code I get a successful msg but it wont pick up the network and also when it restarts it asks folr the code again.
The same
I have got the same problem.
I have got that unlock number but after unlocking phone, there is no range at all and info 'no service', but i am able to use 'Sim Toolkit'.
Where is a problem???
hi i'm having the same problem code is gud and it works but after that it says no servic. and when i restart or put any other sim again and turn on the phone it again asks for the code . whats wrong plz
I think not so many people have seen this phone.
I am also having this issue. Simlocked to Orange got my code and put it in and it was successful then it just stays on the 'unlocking sim' screen.
Been using HTC with windows mobile for years but decided to try android. Am I doign something wrong as I cant seem to access any phone fucntionality without putting a sim in then I get this problem we are having.
On a WM device you would still be able to access everything without having a sim in- just using it n PDA mode
, I am having the exact same problem. I have a HTC hero from orange as my contract phone. I have bought the unlock code from from swift unlock (ebay) and entered the code when prompted. The phone says the network is unlocked but the I can't get any network service, and if toggled the flight mode on and off or switched the phone off and on it will ask for the code again. If I put the orange sim in everything is back to normal. I even tried to hard reset the phone and have a fresh start while the unsupported sim is inserted but the same happens again with the addition of a message "unlocking sim". I thought the code was wrong or something, so I got the code again this time from a high street shop and it was the same code. So nothing is wrong with code itself. The guy at the shop told me that he has great problems with unlocking this phone as some seem to accept the code without any problems and others have this no service issue and he doesn't know the reason for it. I am thinking of flashing a new firmware and radio and see what happens, but this will be probably tomorrow. Sorry for my long post, but I wanted you to know that there is nothing wrong with code itself.
Yeah I dont think there is a problem with my code either. Im new to android but have been a winmo user for years, I havent rooted my Hero yet (only got it today) but that was going to be what I try next: root then network unlock.
Let us know what happens when you flash yours.
Possible Solution
When i unlocked my phone i thought the exact same thing, that it hadn't worked - it said no network, something something about my sim, etc. Later on though, I went outside and it was working. Unbelieveable i thought. Turns out when your in an area with no reception (my house) the Hero decides to boldly make sure you know that it's not getting any signal by giving you big scary messages
So once you've entered the unlock code, let it load up the UI fully, turn phone off, and then turn on again and put it somewhere you definately get a recpetion
Anyway this might answer your problems, then again might not.
Thanks for the suggestion but I dont think that is the problem in my case as I do get reception. Although for me once I have put the unlock could it it says success (or whatever) then goes to saying 'unlocking sim' it doesn't atually load up any interface.
Out of intereset where did you (all) your get your unlock code? I got mine from Unlock Now, anyone else got a code from them and can confirm it works?
Hi, I have flashed the new modaco 2.2 rom, and inserted the unsupported sim, but sadly with the same exact result "no service". I then flashed the latest radio from modaco, and repeated the steps but this time after the first time you put your unlock code it will say "no service as usual" but if you try to toggle flight mode on and off the phone will prompt for the code again and then it will greet you with a no sim is inserted or so, so it seems with the new radio the phone doesn't even detect your sim. If I put the orange sim everything is back to normal again even with the new radio.
Hi,
I just installed a nightly build of CyanogenMod "cm_legend_full-124" on my HTC Legend, which I downgraded from 2.05.461.52 to 1.3 first in order to install CM7.
CM7 is successfully installed, but I kept getting an error message popping up saying "Sorry! The process com.android.phone" has stopped unexpectedly. Please Try Again". I traced the error to the "Settings > Location & security settings > Set up SIM card lock" area, where I found that "Lock SIM card" is checked. I tried unchecking it and it asks for a pin. I have two pins and two PUK codes given to me by my cell provider. I tried them all and it didn't work.
At one point, the cell phone randomly connected to the network, and I was able to use the phone, but then 5 minutes later it stopped working and is giving the same issues and I cannot uncheck the "Lock SIM card" box.
Please note I never locked the sim card, nor do I need or want it locked. I don't think it really is locked, I think it's some kind of CM glitch. I also had the problem when I tried the CM7 Stable release, which is the ROM I tried first.
Did anyone else have this issue, as well? If so, what did you do to fix it. I have spent countless hours searching both Google and these forums and I cannot find a solution.
Thank you.
Try a stable release of CM7, There is a thread somewhere for nightlies and issues find it and check the thread for teh same error
i get this problem with the 108, i turn my phone in plane mode ( to avoid pin loop), did a full titanium backup, flashed a non cm7 rom ( b08), and finally flashed the nightly and did the titanium restore.
work for me.
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
what you did with the tablet?
With latest cm7 and cm9 I can't still authenticate with PIN code (Orange PL). I have no problem with MiniCMSandwich Lite AOSP version. Are there any particular reasons why FXP can't make PIN code working properly? I saw that this bug was continuously mentioned through threads without a solution (beside disabling pincode in general)
PIN Code is related to your SIM-card, not the ROM.
If you have forgotten your PIN Code, contact your operator for new one.
I am not sure about the PUK codes thing on Android.
You didn't understand me. I don't have a problem with entering proper PIN or PUK. Regardless of what I put in the PIN input, I'm getting unable to authenticate message info, and I'm asked to enter the PIN again. I can enter the code many times and it's not blocked (it works on different rom than FXP cm9 or cm7) So it seems to be a strictly CM version problem. Didn't anyone experience that? (GSM device is working, as I can see all the available network in the Settings).

Are you talking about the PIN-code or Network unlock code?
PIN-code, I don't have any simlock enabled.
I see similar problems on other phones:

Hi there,
So I followed some tutorials here and managed to unlock the bootloader and install CM9.1 and its respective kernel on my SE LWW. However, even though I am using the same SIM card as before, the phone asks for a network unlock PIN after entering the SIM PIN.
Why does this happen? I'm trying to access the same network as before...
What can I do to fix it?
Thanks!
Edit: Uh, curious... If I tap "dismiss" the phone works and connects to the network. Calls, SMS, everything works. Why does it show the message then?

It is a known thing among CM users. This thing has no affect to phone usage whatsoever.
