Hi I have just purchased a mini pro from ebay, the phone was sold as unlocked. But when I put my orange sim in it asks for a network unlock code.
I'm not to bothered about having to pay to unlock it. Just can't find which network it's locked to. There is no branding and the splash screen is stock SE. Also I have checked the imei with orange and it's not blocked.
Is there anyway to figure out which network it's locked to?
I know there is a command to get into the service menu (don't know what it is) will this tell me what I need to know?
Sorry about the essay
Any help appreciated.

When the unlockecode massge comes just click cancle and watch what happens.
Yeah I have done that and been on the phone, but there is nothing anywhere I can find saying what network it is locked to.
I have tried to select the orange network and it will not connect as it needs unlocking.
So I need to find out which network it's locked to. Guess I will have to randomly test sim cards lol

Hello.
I'm facing a really silly problem. My motorola droid razr (european version) lock to an operator but when inserted another SIM doesn't ask for the network unlock code. =/
The phone is not rooted and is using the stock rom.
When is insert a different SIM, it just go ahead to main screen. And doesn't show the sercive either.
I searched for threads but they mentioned rooted devices.
Anybody having idea about it?????????
I am having the exact same problem. Did you find any solution?
You can reach that screen where the phone asks for Unlock Code, by pressing #073887* but my problem isn't solved.
When I enter unlock code, it gives this erros: "Network unlock request unsuccessful"
The site from where I ordered the unlock code, told me that my phone is Hardlocked. I asked them if they could unlock it, but didn't receive any response yet
I did fastboot as well to see if that helps, but problem is still there.
That's y always get the unlocked code from your operator.. They would know how to unlock the phone

[UPDATE]
Another silly situation... I put another SIM to which the phone is locked, but just found that I can use internet on is using the carrier's 3g surfing.
The only thing I can't do is to make/receive call. Isn't it silly? :banghead:
Don't know why this little guy doing this to me

Hi all
I am thinking of getting rid of my Galaxy SIi to get one of these. One of the ones I have seen to buy is locked to T mobile so I was wondering if it is possible to unlock these phones as I am on vodagone. If so is it a fairly easy procedure?
Thanks
Impossible at the moment. XPS is a mighty fine device so try swapping w/ some1 or something similar
Impossible? I'm chatting with my phone operator (Telenor) about operatorunlock-code. And as far as I know, the operator-code will make the phone accessible for other operators.
But the issue I got right now is there is no place to enter this long operator-code
I mean: impossible to unlock by yourself if operator doesn't allow unlocking or bills it insanely, and you don't have the money/don't want to pay such amount.

Put in a different operator's sim card and restart the phone.
It'll automatically ask you for the code

I didn't happen to have a microsim from another carrier so I decided to cut one up. For my first attempt I did a pretty damn good job since my phone recgonzied it!
Got prompted to enter an Unlock code.

try this !!
My problem is that when I use a SIM from another carrier and boot my phone up, I do NOT get this: “SIM network unlock PIN” message. My phone only says "SIM card is locked" and want me to type in PIN.

Seems your SIM card is locked. I remember old phones gave you an option to add a pin code onto the sim card itself. There was a warning that if you forget it you're screwed. Try getting a new SIM from the carrier
Hello, I just got Samsung Galaxy S II from UK, on lower back of the phone there is small orange logo.
Are these kind of phones locked to Orange UK or are they sim-free?
Also if posible pls provide me with any links to be able to unlock it manually if needed and pls recommend custom Rom.
Thanx in advance.
You could try a different SIM card to see if it works or not.. If not, then call Orange and ask them for the unlock code. Tell them you need to travel to a different country. They may charge 20 bucks or so. I am not sure if there is a free work around to unlock your phone. Maybe someone else can help.
As for custom ROM, I would recommend using Resurrection Remix
Dial *#7465625# and see.
It spells out SIMLOCK by the way.

this method didn;t show simlock numeric code. It only showed some statuses like network lock - on, SF lock - off, CF and some other.

So it is network locked and a sim from another provider will not work....

Any solutions? I can't phone to orange cuz I'm not from UK.
Also. Can I flash SGSII BVKH1 baseband with other for example baltic XWKI4 or it is not possible?
EDIT: Nvm, figuered out about basebands and how to unlock sgs2
Root it and then use one of the unlock code generators on Google Play to unlock it for free
I have been using ATT service on this i777, now going to China and will be using their carrier for a long time. I learnt I have to go to either China Mobile or China Unicom if I'm to stick with this device. However both carrier's SIMs resulted in "SIM card not provisioned" notice and it's not working.
I am wondering if calling ATT helps, or I need a SIM unlock code, or I have to install a custom ROM to somehow bypass the SIM check? Or even more? I love this phone so I don't want to buy a new one here in China.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Your phone needs to be sim unlocked. If it is not unlocked already, then by far the easiest route is to call AT&T to get the unlock code.
oh I'm sorry, I think I already unlocked it (spent a few bucks and got the code on a website)
I put in China Mobile's SIM and entered the code in the prompt box. Do I still need an unlock code from ATT ?

Thanks for the reply. I replied you above but didn't quote.
If the phone is already sim unlocked, then you don't need to unlock it again.
I've never gone through the unlock process, or traveled over seas, so I'm not the best person to answer your questions. I think "not provisioned' indicates that the sim is not activated, or that the phone is not set up for the network, or something like that. You may need to input the correct apn for the network. Maybe you could go to the carrier's store and find someone who could help you?
Maybe someone with experience will jump in and help.

I've installed an app from playstore called lg phone info.
That says it's on EE.
When it's been sat on the side for a bit and I turn it on, it says network locked at the top left of the screen.
I take it this means it's locked to ee still.
Is there any way of finding out if it's had to many codes entered and is permanently locked?
