Incorrect PUK Code - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Need help getting an Incorrect PUK code in notification pull down. Running Team Sonic Free GS3 4u, Trinity ALPHA 37. Everything is running great, I love this from, but I don't want my phone to lock up on me. Any answers.

I've had this happen back in the days of the Nokia 6150 when I entered the wrong SIM unlock code too many times. Had to call T-Mobile (voice stream) to get the PUK code to unlock the SIM card. I think the SIM card is toast if you put the wrong PUK in too many times. I hope that's not the case for you !
You could also try reseating your SIM.

If it says input your PIN code then this code will be asked every time you insert your SIM card to any mobile device including xda; this feature can be disabled by unchecking 'require pin when phone is used' at Start->Settings->Phone and in this case you won't be prompted for a code next time you insert your SIM to any mobile device including xdas

TB shows puk lock without having done anything?

Anyone run into this? My wife has had her TB replaced once already. Today it went to puk lock without her doing anything. She went to make a call and it was puk locked. Had her pull the battery and it's fine for the moment. Seems like the TB has a mind of its own.

I take it no one has had this happen.

I think you may need to call VZ to get a puk unlock code. This can happen on GSM devices (had it happen to me on my Nexus One), and I had to call T-Mobile (my provider then) to get a puk unlock code.
I think its a characteristic of the SIM card, since the T-Bolt uses one.
The device puk locked, but did battery pull and it's fine now. That's what is wierd about it.

It does not really matter anymore, as the PUK code can be found in the My Verizon page. It happened to me, I unlocked, and was good to go.
You can log onto my Verizon and get your puk code also....

I know. She never did anything to make puk lock though. Pulled the battery and it didn't ask again for the puk. That is what bothers me about it. Is it possible the sim card is bad or is it just one of the many anomalies of the tb?

Can I made the unlock message come up without an unauthorized SIM card?

Is there a way to make the network unlock message show up without putting in a different SIM card? I've had my unlock code for a while I just want to use it.

They did it's the usual insert different SIM card then put the code but I was wondering if I can input the code without a foreign SIM card

No, there is no phone code for the unlock menu. Just pick up a prepaid sim card from walmart and unlock it, if your in the States. I ordered a simcard cutter with and cut an old ATT card I had in an old phone to unlock mine. Or if you have a friend or relative with a newer phone, pop their sim in for a couple secs and unlock it.

I9300 doesn't read sim card

Hello, I just bought samsung galaxy s3 and tryed to put in sim card, but it doesn't recognize it. I tryed to do factory reset lot of times but it doesn't helped it still writting no sim card. I tryed to put in my friends card who is in other network, so I think its not a sim slot problem. First think - it locked. Today I went to the salon of my operator and they sayed that my phone is not locked or black listed, so maybe somebody knows the solution for it ?
Really sorry for my english

Proble might be hardware: sim slot or sim card. Does your sim work on other phones? Do other sims work on your phone?
If its software, a fresh firmware flash with wipes should fix it.
I tryed to put sim to my brothers galaxy s2 and it worked, and we tryed to put other network sim to my phone and its too worked, but sim with the same carier like my didn't worked, if its a software can u give me link where I can find tutorial how to fix it ?

I've known some weird bug to happen (1 in a million or more) where a specific sim won't work on a specific phone, a friend working for movistar had that happen. Don't know why, just that sim won't work in that phone. They had to make a duplicate of the sim with a different format.
Check with your carrier to see if a different sim might work. And make sure its not a problem with the phone being locked.
Can you tell us. Is the phone 2nd hand or brand new?
I was thinking that if it is 2nd hand, maybe the previous owner flashed Custom Roms and may have damaged the 'EFS partition' when they flashed Stock firmware back onto the device before selling to you.
No, if EFS is damaged then device wouldn't log into any network.
Try to repair your device with Kies if you don't know how to use Odin:

If it doesn't help visit your carriers store and get your SIM changed.
I tryed to put in maybe 4 cards with the same carrier and it didn't worked, yes phone is for 2nd hands :/

Now, when you say it doesn't recognize the sim cards, do you get a "sim not inserted" message?
Or does it recognize the sim but won't allow making calls or connecting to mobile data?
You say with different carrier (your friends sim card) it works. But with your sim card and others from the same carrier it doesn't work. That sounds just like a network locked phone.

When I turning it on it loading about minute and in that place where is network bars is pic like phone blocked I think, but after loading it shows me a perfect connection, but in my task bar writting "No SIM" and under it with lower letter "Insert SIM card". On the lock screen is too writting "No SIM card - Emergency calls only"
I know that it's sounds like network locked, but I was gone to the salon operator and they sayed me that phone is not locked, but I did not understand, or only to their network, or general. Where can check it ?

This totally looks like a sim locked phone.
What you already know is that the phone works with your brother's sim card, so the phone works with your brother's carrier. You know it doesn't work with your sim card or any other sim card of your carrier.
But you are still not sure if it is a simlock.
Just check with a sim card from another different carrier (one that is not your carrier, nor your brother's carrier). If the phone is simlocked it shouldn't work with that 3rd carrier.
