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...

Hello all
I recently got a great deal for a Vibrant (150$ contract free, looking brand new ).
I live in Europe and I already own a Galaxy S, so I thought "hacking" the Vibrand would be a piece of cake... well it wasn't Finally after reading a ton of stuff here on the forums I managed to beat it using Odin.
After finally getting root the first thing I did was to download Galaxy S unlocker from the Market so I could use it with a local SIM card... and it failed. The app couldn't find any codes? and neither the root or non-root method worked.
The Vibrant recognizes that there's a SIM card, and even asks me for a PIN on boot... then nothing happens. When I try to make a call, "Data network not available" is displayed.
The network here is GSM 900/1800.
I'm currently on the deodexed KB5 2.2 ROM flashed via CWM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hmm...I believe there was another method to unlocking it other than the Galaxy S unlocker program you have. It will require root which you have.
Search around the Vibrant forums, I think it was from at least a few months back.

Yes, I found it but I'm not sure wheter it's a lock issue (it said "no codes found") or I have to flash an European modem or something. I'll try it anyway and report any results.
No luck
All the methods work for 2.1 and I'm on Froyo KB5.
Plus it's not really an unlock code issue..
It's rather... the SIM card doing nothing.
- Is it insearted?
Yes
- Does the phone recognize there's a SIM card?
Yes
- If you have a PIN, does it ask for it on boot?
Yes
- Well what's wrong then?
I can't do anything else with the SIM... not even join a network
Did you per any chance lock your SIM card with a PIN code?
Cause if you did, it is asking for the code that you locked it with. . .
Try another, UNLOCKED SIM card just to be sure that's not the issue.
The phone SHOULD ask you for an unlock code only. A pin code request (unless you are reading the unlock code as a pin code) means the SIM card is locked.
The card was unlocked, I put the PIN on purpose later, just to see if it'd recognize that
Then what is the issue? Without the PIN, it recognizes the SIM and loads up fine but doesn't get on any network?
Yes!
And that way it's just a VERY overpowered iPod touch. Would be nice if I could actually make phone calls from it, but if not - whatever.
I remember anything above 2.1 theres an issue with the SGS unlocker on the market. I had to use a different method, and I don't remember where I received the instructions from, but I did find this for you on youtube. Please do watch the whole video as the person has the same problem, but runs you through the steps to unlocking by using a different method.

gosh... no dice.
The phone never asks me for any unlock code, just stuck on "Searching"
Try a different modem. If not then try a different rom..may be?
Why not just odin back to stock,reroot, and try to unlock it before flashing a rom

Hi everyone I'm desperately looking for help... I got myself ATT&T Atrix which was claimed to be unlocked from US but unfortunately it's not, and I can't find any way to sim unlock the phone... I have tried everything else like rooting and putting custom Rom like ginger blur or rewriting the existing sbf file etc. and it still hangs on the start up with the message SIM NETWORK PIN etc.. what can I do since the actual phone is from the US and I'm in Australia... I tried calling att and they were unwilling to provide me an unlock pin
are there any sim unlock pin generators available ?
is there any app or script which blocks sim pin message ?
my imei is: 353648040718081
only way to do it right now is to buy the code off ebay...about $17 and its working. rooting or flashing will not unlock your atrix

This post doesn't belong in developer, and if you read the sticky FAQ in the Q&A section it's all explained.
Thread closed due to above.
Hi all,
First of all, I want to say thanks for all the help and knowledge I've found on this website - it's amazing.
I've come to you because my sister bought an i5500 from a girl who was on the Telus network in Canada. My sister is on SaskTel, and I believed I would be able to unlock it after looking at xda-dev for some time. After several hours of rooting and attempting unlock, I finally got the BML5 file and opened it in hex editor. After several more hours, I managed to locate my SIM unlock code - 01234567 (Which I find odd, by the way).
Anyway, my sister has since gotten a SIM card from SaskTel and when we insert it, no SIM code prompt appears. I then tried it with my Fido card, and it did the exact same thing - the phone acts as though there isn't any SIM card in. It does, however, state that there's no signal.
Does this mean that the phone is already unlocked? If it is unlocked, I don't know how it happened - the girl that originally owned the phone never hacked the phone or anything. If it is unlocked, why won't my Fido SIM card, or my sister's SaskTel SIM card work?
The other issue I've been having is that the phone will suddenly turn off every 5 or 10 minutes. Could it have happened when I rooted the phone? I used SuperOneClick to do it, then command prompt to pull the img file to my laptop. Did I partially brick it?
Thank you so much for any help you guys can give me; I'd like to think of myself as fairly technically apt, but at the moment, I'm completely at a loss as to how to fix this.
Again, thanks.
---------
EDIT: Found some new info: Whenever the phone restarts, the date, time, and time zone are all reset back to standard. Does this mean that the battery is shot? The phone is less than a year old...
useful thread
Well I don't know about the rebooting, but what I recommend you read this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335548
specially the last part, which states:
Most custom roms that tries to remove blur break the subsidy lock interface (sim unlock screen doesn't show on them). If you flash other rom and subsidy unlock screen doesn't pop when you insert foreign sim, you will need to flash back stock ROM in order to unlock. So the easyest way for those of you running a Custom ROM, just do a nandroid backup using CWM, flash Stock ROM, unlock your phone then restore your backup.

If you have reached the end of the tutorial and you wasn't able to obtain the unlock code( find numbers like 00000000 / 11111111 ), then it means that your phone it's "Hard Locked" or doesn't have the unlock code provided with the phone. I don't know any solution until now for this problem. For most of the people here, this works flawlessly, for some doesn't work.

Thanks for this. I used that link to root and get the code for the phone, but now I'm confused with the lack of PIN unlocking screen. Does that mean that I'm going to have to backup/flash with stock ROM? I'm totally fine with flashing it back to stock if it's not, in fact, I've looked for a stock ROM in case that was the issue. Since it's a Canadian model though, (GT-I5500M) I can't find any. There's a list somewhere on XDA with all the I5500 ROMs, but it says that there aren't any from Canada. Options? Ideas?
Thanks again for the help.
Anyone with any other ideas? Right now I'm trying to decide whether or not we should just sell the phone and get a new one, so any advice/help would be appreciated so much.

Thanks, I did, but there isn't anything for Canada on there. A new problem just cropped up: the WiFi won't turn on. So, even if I wanted to flash it with an official firmware, I don't think I could - I have to use the market to download an app to flash, right?
U can use Odin..

You will need to contact @THE-laser to fix that for you. One price for both unlock sim and bootloader.

Wow..... That was a mistake. But however, you should lock your bootloader back, Another thing you can try, BEFORE you search for a way to lock your bootloader is making sure your phone is actually "Unlocked" Sometimes you run a risk when you unlock your bootloader that your phone "Re-Locks" Witch sucks, and is another complete pain in the butt battle. But its the price you pay for not paying complete attention to whats going on. Go through them steps and get back to me.
saying tyvocc
And how to relock it ? can i have a tuto or something ?
i tryed with setools it says : nothing to restore
I have x10i and i have done the bootloader unlock with flashtool, but no matter what sim i put in they can all find networks... but none will allow access to networks no matter what sim. Im from SA and i every time i reboot im asked to insert sim... already have... and on boot please insert simcard and restart. Might i add that i put my wifes vodacom sim in and no luck... i put one of those red voda sims in which is blocked then on boot it is recognised but the sim stops the boot requiring a puk number cause the sim is blocked. But my point is that the sim is noticeably recognised and wont boot the phone further unless puk code inserted. But even so i want the phone open to all networks. I have messed round with s1tool but when it tells me hold control then choose firmware im lost... cause i push control and nada happens. I see there is generic for za and sa and there is a voda sa branded one when i use flashtool to run that. I have used all the sa versions i can see or am aware of... could i be missing something... im using generic world firmware version 2.1 update 1, Kernel 2.6.29, Baseband 2.1.54 and build number 2.1.A.0.435... so what to do?

How to re-lock a bootloader !!!!!!!
Same problem with me
To re-lock the bootloader you are going to have to download the latest flashtool and use the restore option. In some cases this has helped some people get their network back but in others not.
I am one of the unfortunate ones. I also have an x10i which i have recently aquired from a friend but after upgrading to 2.3.3 it has somehow lost its ability to read any sim card i put in it. There is absolutely no network lock on it at all and i see grey signal bars as if network is there but it never ever registers a sim card and permently stays on emergency calls only.
My phone i do believe was on a contract from t-mobile in germany but if i type *#*#7378423#*#* in to the keypad it quite clearly states that their is no locks on it at all.
I am quite clearly baffled as to why this is happening on an unlocked phone, and if anybody who reads this can help please send me a message
Just purchased an HTC One and an unlock code, and upon inserting a T-Mobile sim card into the slot, I do not receive the Sim Network Unlock Pin request menu, instead I receive an error Phone Not Allowed MM #6 which I've read means the phone has a bad IMEI, but the phone works flawlessly with my AT&T Sim card meaning it cant be a bad IMEI. Am I just a noob and missing one simple step? I've rooted hundreds of phones and im coming from my HTC One X rooted and unlocked, so if anyone can help please respond as soon as possible, as I said I already have my unlock code, just unable to attain the input menu, the phone is NOT stolen.
Thanks so much,

Does anyone on earth have a clue whats going wrong? I sat on the phone with AT&T, HTC, and T-Mobile for hours and no one has a clue why I'm not being asked for my unlock code upon inserting the sim card, please I cant be the only person who has had this issue, i have now tried many hard reboots, unlocked boot loader, even flashed maximus 7 HD to try and reset the counter and still no luck.

I also recently bought an AT&T HTC One from Craiglist. When I inserted a T-Mobile SIM card it prompted me to enter the unlock code, which I entered then the phone rebooted and it no longer asked me for the unlock code.
BUT, i was not able to get a signal and got the MM #6 error.
The error apparently can be from the phone being black listed. in my case the phone is not blacklisted.
The other reason, it seems, since the phone was bought from AT&T with subsidies, AT&T will not allow the phone to be used on t-mobile.
Had the previous owner requested the unlock code before selling it then it would have been unlocked.
For now, I am using it with aio for $40/month which is pretty good.
