Hi,
I just bought a Sony Xperia X10 (orange phone). I am trying to get the phone to work on Vodafone Ireland.
I got the unlocking codes on a site. tried them the phone seemed to unlock.
When I power the device up it asks me to enter my pin as normal. Then I am propmted to enter a Network unlock pin. I have tried entering the Unlock code, my PIN, my unblock code. It keeps telling me that pin is wrong & for me to contact my network operator.
When using an orange SIM, phone works ok.
I presumed that the unlock code was wrong so I went to a shop to get the unlock code & they supplied me with code I got over the net.
Any one have this problem, or now to resolve it. I have all providers and repsonse are as follows:
Orange: You are not existing customer.... Cant help you
Vodafone Ireland: Contact orange or go to a shop to get it unlocked.
Internet site: Still awaiting reply
Any one got any ideas or solutions.
Thanks
what is the exact message that you get when you enter the unlocking code:
1- Wrong Code
Or
2- Sim Locked, Contact Opertor.
??!
If the phone tells you to contact the operator it means that the wrong unlock code was entered for more than 5 times... so maybe the guy you bought it from entered some unlock codes for fun?
The phone is now blocked and the right unlock code won't help you anymore... I have the same problem and as far as I know the only possibility is to go to the operator who locked the phone, in your case Orange. I'm sure they will help you, but they won't do it for free of course
same problem here but i buy from AT&T any unlocker avelable please help
Call att. I have never had a problem with them telling me the correct way to reset the phone for free and get the pulk code. I have read other posts that if you've had the phone for six months they will tell you the unlock code.

hi,
I rooted my s2(locked to o2) and installed sim unlock app, after running the app i got the code install. i then turned the phone off and put in my t-mobile sim on boot it ask for the pin, i instered the code i was given and it said invalid code 2 attempts remaining.
I then when to an unlock website inputed the imei number and i was given the same unlock code, i tried it again just in case i had put the code in wrong before, however i still get wrong code 1 atttempt remaining.
can anybody what i am doing wrong and am i correct in saying that if i make 1 more wrong atttempt i have to use the unfreeze code, however i am reluctant to try the sck or spck codes in case the unfreeze code does not work.
Any ideas please

Hi, did you insert the code the app gave you as the PIN number?
You need to enter the SIM cards 4 digit PIN first before you are asked to enter the unlock code.
Sorry if i picked this up wrong, but from reading your post it sounds like that's what you did!
Unlock
Many thanks,

Moving to Q&A
At first, hi to everybody at this forum, i really like it.
I have a Garmin Asus A50 from T-Mobile with Android 2.1 installed. I know that it's a ****ty phone, but i bought it cuz it was cheap. I;m in Macedonia now and it doesn't work even with macedonian t-mobile sim card. I'm trying to find an unlock code for it, but still nothing, even contacted US T-mobile support and garmin support team and they don't wanna help me.
When i connect the device as a mass storage, in my garmin drive i can see a folder named "Garmin" and inside that folder there is a XML file named GarminDevice.xml and inside this file there is a lot of information like IMEI Code, Serial number and there is a tags named <Unlock><Code>......</Code></Unlock>. can this be the unlock code in encrypted form??? If it is, there must be a way to decrypt it except it's a MD5 hash code.
I uploaded the file because i know that on this forum there is a lot of experts that can realize how this works. There is a lot of data in this file and maybe something can help the guys who were trying to install a custom ROM to this device.

Thanks anyway.

that is not the wrong code since u pulled that from where it says unlock in his zip. if anyone opens the same file on their phone it will be different like mine only has 3 numbers in it
The search feature is currently down...
Can anyone advise how to calculate the unlock code?
I have previoously bought 2 Garminfones and bought unlock codes for each.
I no longer own either of them, but I did buy another one (currently locked).
Here's the IMEI and unlock codes for the 2 older ones I no longer have:
IMEI: 357355030414434
Unlock Code: 04161586
IMEI: 357355030434085
Unlock Code: 30401124
Having the IMEI and a correct unlock code (they both worked!), is there anyone willing to give up the formula on how to calculate the unlock code? Or anyone know how to come up with a formula that works?
I'll check into the .xml file on my new phone to see if there's an unlock code stored in it.

No it's not.
He went into your .xml file and took the numbers as they appear from left to right in the unlock section.
The problem? The unlock code is your unlock code for the map installed on the phone and not a SIM card unlock.
I tried the same process with my current locked Garminfone and it failed.

According to Spazmogen's IMEIs and unlock codes, the following formula can produce a valid unlock code. However, if the last 8 digits of your IMEI starts with 308, this formula will not work. I have not tested it on an IMEI whose last digits start with 306 or any other numbers
Focus on the last 8 digits of the IMEI and use these steps,
each one should generate a digit of the unlock pin.
1 6th number + 8th number - 8 First Number (leftmost)
2 6th number
3 2nd number - 3rd number + 7th number
4 6th number X 1.5
5 1st number - 3rd number
6 1st number + 3rd number - (4th number X 2)
7 7th number / 4
8 1st number + 3rd number - 4th number Last Number (rightmost)
NOTE: if the number is 10 or above, use the rightmost number
if the number is negative, disregard the negative and treat as positive
if the number is a decimal, round to the next number
ex. round 0.75 to 0.8 and use the 8
round 6.5 to 7
do not round 0.75 to 1
This may or may not work for you, good luck and hopefully, happy unlocking.

Is your bootloader unlockable??

ok write the imei in notepad than run the unlock tool as administrator. Copy the code from notepad to the area where you write the code and connect the phone in fastboot mode. DO the rest by yourself

I think the tutorial in the Xperia S Android Development forum has written very clearly you should stick to each step
Hello guys, I have a strange thing. I have brought a new LG G5 phone and flashed the Team win and Cyanagon and successfully (it seems) and unlocked the bootloader via the official LG site, but on boot the phone asks for a SIM network unlock pin but it will not accept any codes and says 255 retires?! even got codes from CellUnlocker.net and it wont accept that. Still 255 retries? Any ideas?
It's a netlock. Please contact your provider. Here in Germany you must be waiting 24 months or pay a couple of Euros to the provider.

trouble is it doesn't seem to accept any code, I do not know what network the phone was on previously
I wonder if it has been IMEI blocked? is there a way to check. I wonder if it is something in unlocking the bootloader that has gone wring as is saying I have 255 retries and your only supposed to have 10?
I really have to do that X Times per weak. Why do You Post here? Reported...

^ as I think it may be an issue with flashing the ROM as oppose to the standard SIM lock!
Note LG boot loader unlocked, through offical website, Team Win successfully flashed and running - but Network unlock is 255 retries not the standard 10 - and I have the code, and still not work?
am fairly experienced, but this seems like a bug ?
either that or the phone is imei blocked but I have registered with it successfully with LG as a developer no problem

Call your provider where you bought the phone. Only the network provider has the code for the netlock.
