(holding down the camera and power button at the same time.) then i touch fastboot mode and voila!! the software dell streak unlocker said that, success!!!

Hi everyone.
I have recently aquired a dell streak that has settled a debt.
The issue is is that the previous owner decided to enter in the unlock code 10 times and has not stopped any sim card functioning within it.
Its a UK dell streak that was originally sim locked to o2.
I am pressentely running the froyo v1 by DJ_Steve custom firmware with su.
I have got SU access using Universal Androot beta 5.
Now even if insert a o2 sim card or any other sim card for that matter i get : NETWORK LOCKED More than 10 attempts were made to enter the pin
I was woundering if anyone knew how to clear or reset the counter with the SU access.
I have also wiped the dalvik cache and done a factory reset using the clockwork recovery image.
In the past i have rooted and installed custom firmware on a unlocked g1 (this was unlocked using a code) and during the proccess the phone had forgotten that it had been unlocked and i had to enter the code in again.
Does anyone know if I can do the same thing with the dell streak/ and how to do the same thing?
try to use rebel simcard on that one
I found problem in StreakSmart forum.
"I have an ATT Streak which I unlocked with a code. I have been trying to update to Froyo and after my download when I start to install it brings up an error message which I cant read because it's blurry because at the same time it's going to re-boot mode, it goes to the Dell screen and sits...and sits... I have to pull the battery to get it running again but I'm still at 1.6.
I have called dell but they wont give me any help because I bought the phone 2nd hand and apparently the original owner registered it and I can't do anything until I give them his info or some crap. Can anyone help me out on this??
also, I thought about doing a factory reset to my phone and then try the update but was wondering if this will lock it, since I unlocked an ATT phone with a code?? "
I brought at&t lock dell streak. It is running android 1.6. I want to unlock it and update to 2.2. Please give me an advice. Will it happen when I update my streak? What is the best way for unlocking it? thanks!
You don't need to unlock it to get 2.2. AT&T has released the froyo update. Just hit menu and go to settings. Scroll down to about phone and select system updates. Make sure you are on wifi.

I thought you said you unlockedit with a code? So what's the problem when it gets locked again? Use the same code, it still is the same phone even if you upgraded to 2.2, besides unlocking the phone has nothingto do with upgrading the OS.

Hello guys,
after looking here a lot for improving my x10 (successfully, I love fxp ), I have my first problem, and it is a strange one.
I live in France, and a new carrier made very cool prices, so I decided to change carrier. But my previous carrier provider made its possible to not unsimlock my x10, so, when I went in holidays in Tunisia, I went to a shop where they are known to unlock phones, and they unsimlocked it, but they put an official 2.1 rom, but I couldn't go from cyanogen to stock 2.1... So I decided to install fxp.
I rooted the phone with flashtool, and tried to flash the phone, but it was stuck on se logo, so I used pc companion to install stock gingerbread, it installed. But when I power it on, it's not 2.3, it's still 2.1 ! I don't know what these tunisian did, but they ****ed up my phone T_T
when I start it with my sim, I can enter my pin code, and I only have the blue wallpaper of 2.1 and the top bar. I can't access to anything, the three buttons do not work (except when I put the usb cable, I can use the return button to quit the "charge or connect" menu and minimize the bar when it is fullscreen).
When I don't put the sim, I have the configuration menu, but when I press proceed, it says me to insert a sim card and reset, I can't do anything at this state.
Did anyone have the problem ?

If those Tunisians know something, they are probably here on xda-developers forum ..
You have a thread for sim unlocking, and I think that there is a way to check if your phone is unlocked properly via s1tool or is it possible to unlock it..Go HERE
Thanks, for the simlock soft.
But how can I make it to boot properly (ie having acces to menus, icons and all)
Well, I tried s1tool, and it says that it is still locked, but I don't understand, I was able before trying the update to call with the new carrier oO
PS : is there a way to root/flash without enabling debugging ?
I do not know if I can post this, but I managed to do here.

it sounds like your boot loader
theres allot of information to take in on this page but read it ALL theres a part about your sim lock certificate

(btw multi threads don't help either of us)

I dont know the link you posted dosnt work
so i cant tell what you have done to your phone
dont panic there's allways a fix
im no expert!
but ill do my best to help you please provide me with every step you took up untill now

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1490527
im not sure if what you have is the same as mine but try this
turn on phone
press back button repeatedly to enter the recovery mode you mentioned
can you see options for
install zip from sd card
wipe data/factory reset?
you already had a tread about this, please stop flooding
still ..........again & again giving me same error............plezz dev help me............
stop flooding! it's annoying, check and clean the sim port, and also you should try with other sim to make sure it isn't a sim issue
Relock your bootloader. I can't detail how as I have never had to but make sure you're on stock! Some phones don't play nice with the unlocked bootloader and your sim won't work as a result. It's your only choice and you won't be able to unlock your bootloader without getting the phone sim unlocked by your carrier.

hello everybody
Yesterday my phone asked me to update and i accepted it unfortunately.
I live in France, phone is bought here blocked by SFR operator.
One year ago i got the code to unblock from SFR and I unblocked it and since then i have used FREE, COSMOTE(Greece) and lately i m using BOUYGUES operator.
Problem:
After the update, phone got simlocked again and with my BOUYGUES sim it asks me for a "sim network unlock pin". I insert the code i had but it doesn't unlock it.
I called SFR and fun fact is that they claim that the unlock is permanant (they are not aware of this new issue) and the unlock code unique. I asked them the code to ensure what i had is correct and they confirmed... So code is 100% correct...
Since it was not working they told me to remove any sim card from the phone and do the following steps...
1 click on TELEPHONE icon
2 enter *#46744674 and press #
3 the code should disappear
4 then enter #7465625*638* and press #
5 you will now be prompted to enter the unlock code
6 enter the code NCK and press ok OK.
if code is good, phone gets unlocked
So while step 2-3-4 work fine, the #7465625*638*# disappears but step 5 never happens... There is not screen prompting me to insert the code....
I called Samsung after this and I told them everything i ve tried...
they proposed me to do this --> *#0111*CODE# and it will get unlocked... (super unfriendly french customer service hanged up on me)
I did it but nothing happen.. not even the *#0111*CODE# got disappeared like it happened with steps 2-4 above....
To me it looks like the new android 4.1.2 messed up everything....
Problem seems new... i found two posts in french describing the same problem with no solution but i cant post the links here.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks for reading this
Yeah, root it & unlock it.

Issue in process of rooting the phone - to unlock the phone
Hi,
I have similar problem with my Samsung Galaxy S II SGS2 GT-i9100.
My phone is UNROOTED.
After it was updated from ICS to Jellybean (upgrade via the air, not using Kies and not using Odin), I am also asked for SIM UNLOCK PIN.
The phone was originally bought locked to O2 UK network, then unlocked, but the unlock code used in past does not work now.
The problem is that in all places it says to root the device, and in order to root it, I am advised to create a backup copy of efs folder, and in order to backup the efs folder I need to have root permissions... - deadlock !
In additions, many guides says that in order to root the phone, I need to have only for phones that are SIM FREE, which brings me back to start - I will not be able to flush ROM/Kernel to root it as my phone is SIM locked...
Any suggestions that will help me unlock the phone?
Thanks!

You're very confused.
1) Root your phone. There are multiple methods. Search/read/learn & choose whichever one you think is best for you. The phone does not have to be 'sim-free' or unlocked or anything else in order to root it. As I said, you are clearly confused. You need to search/read/learn & not do anything to your phone until you're no longer confused, or you'll 'break' it.
2) Create an EFS backup using kTool from Google Play. Keep one copy of this backup on your PC, and another copy on the external SD card in your phone if you have one.
3) Unlock the phone with whichever app you want to use to unlock it.
Hello
I found an easy way to root it but i cant post a link... so google "[RESOLU] code deverouillage reseau" and you ll see the thread... (it is in french)
As user "gab34" says, i downloaded the proper zip file (in my case was XWLSD_root.zip) and put it in the sd card as it is (as a zip). (you have to subscribe to let you download the file :/)
Then i pressed up-power-home buttons until it turns off and on again.
Then i was in the recovery meny , and with the volume button i went down to "apply update from external storage" i pressed the power button to enter, chose the file XWLSD_root.zip, press again power button, installation will take place in ../ , press power button, the reboot now and power button.
The phone restarts as rooted and then you can use GALAXSIM to unlock it..
You download Galaxsim unlock for free, then it tells you if it can unlock and if so you pay 3 euros for full version and unlock it....
Try google translator and a french speaker if you need help with the site... It took me 10 minutes to do it...
If not, try to google how to root easily like i did with just a zip file in the sd card...
Hope it helps
Thanks but we kinda know how to do that.
Please don't (try to) post a link from another site, those sites get the info from xda anyway.
