My phone was rooted with no ROM. Worked fine. Then when I flashed RAZR-UI V7.1(btw its a sucky ROM) I rebooted and did all the steps. Normally a pop-up comes up and ask to enter your sim lock passcode. Well it didn't. Then I went into settings and checked my locations & security. I tried to enter my SIM lock code but didn't work. So then I booted into recovery. Wiped everything. Then flash a Cynogen ROM over. Still no change. Help. Idk whats wrong with it. And I tried T-Mobile and they cannot help.
try this
Get your PUK code from your provider.
Get the screen where you are told the PUK needs to be entered and using the keyboard type:
**05*<PUK Code>*<enter a new pin>*<confirm the new pin>#
That will simultaneously unlock the phone and set up the PIN code.
CM7/9 shouldn't have this problem, guess the other roms lack the fix.
try a full wipe on your device (wipe cache/data, evt. format /system from within CWM)
and flash CM7 again.
Otherwise flash a modified stock rom and disable sim pin and flash any other rom, all should work fine after this.

I've looked for where I can enter PUK code but can't find it.

Okay will do.
Okay, so I just went to T-Mobile and received a new sim card. And apparently on the phone it is saying its locked. This doesn't make any sense.

I got my unlock code today, but don't have another sim card to put in yet. I thought there was a command that could be entered that would cause the phone to prompt for the subsidy code. Anyone know that sequence??

I got my sim unlock code from calling at&t, bt the box to apply it was no where to be found, so your prompt in dialer helped me to , it brought up the box, then i put code in, and it said the code was successful, but it still wont read my net 10 sim card, that is active, tried rebooting....what else can i do??
i brought at&t atrix from amazon.com and i get the code from website cellunlocker.net but i cannot unlock my phone. does i input my code too many time? it say network unlock unsuccesedful. how can i slove this problem?
if i flash my phone it will fix it or not.
thanks anyway.
A few questions:
1) did you double check the IMEI to ensure that is the same on the phone as the one you sent to cellunlocker.net?
2) did you ensure you typed the code correctly?
3) Did you try both codes (they end you to codes, separated by [or])
IMEI: ,Your IMEI code should be here> code: <unlock #1> [or] <unlock #2>

yes. i already do that but still not work. should i flash my phone?
i think you should double check your IMEI by pressing *#06#.
if the IMEI matches the one you sent to cellunlock.net, contact them.
if you have'nt flashed before..
it shouldnt be anything to do with flashing your phone at the moment..
Activated?
Did you activate your phone before trying to unlock?
I had a similar problem with an unlock code I bought thru cellunlock.net.
They insisted that the code was correct but it did not work. After pulling my hair out for a few days I found out that the phone had to be activated before the unlock code would do its job.

how can i activate the phone?
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~
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.
