I have a sim locked SE x10i, I obtained the unlock code thru my old service provider, but I have 0 tries left for network unlock. I believe it is network hardlocked. I have spent days researching the net for a solution but it seems there isn't any obvious way to unlock my phone.
I am asking if anyone has any knowledge on this matter and if any of the developers on this site has maybe a solution for unlocking my phone.
Any insight or help will be appreciated.
Thanx.
Please if somebody can help with this matter as I dont have any other phone to use. Thank you.

I think the only solution to unlock it with 0 tries left with code entry would be using software not sure which software it would be but if you take it to a phone shop they might be able to unlock but tell them there are 0 tries left for using code entry

Hi everyone.
I'm hoping someone can help me. I recently recieved my X10 and was setting everything to my liking when i accidentaly entered the wrong pin in the security section. Now it's telling me "SIM card PUK-locked" i'm a bit stuck.
At no point have i tried to put the PUK in so my sim can't be completely fried and infact i don't know where to put the PUK in because there's no option for it.
I'd rather not have to get a new sim card (Like the nice lady at Vodafone customer services suggested) so i'm hoping someone can solve my problem? Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist
do you have the PUK unlock code? it should be on the plastic tab that came with the sim card. You might be able to recover that way, otherwise the only other way is a new sim
I have got a PUK code i just don't have anywhere to type the code into. Only option i've got is to make an emergency call and i even tried putting it in there LoL
you can always take the sim card to a phone you know how to get to the puk code unlock with don it many times with phones where I didn't knew how to get the puk into it
Thanks, I had been thinking about that. Unfortunately i'm at work and don't have access to another phone and won't for a good few hours. Thought there might have been a way around it.
you work alone ?
last time I just borrowed the nearest guys phone and put in my sim and typed in the puk and that was it
For instance i've been reading up on another android that you had to goto "Emergency Call" and then type in ** and then a code before entering your PUK before it gets accepted. thougth there may have been something similar involved here.....
I do work alone in my office / workshop LoL. I have some staff on the front kiosk but they can't help. One doesn't believe in mobile phones and thinks there terrible things, another never carries hers with her and the third doesn't part with hers for even a second. Strange bunch
Oh i have to wait 5 minutes between posts, didn't notice that LoL.
Ok i managed to get it sorted by switching phones in the end. Thanks for the help guys. Very muchly appreciated.
Just to answer the question. In the manual there's a guide:
**05*[PUK-code]*[new PIN-code]*[new PIN-code]#
See now i actually tried that but it didn't work i ended up just swapping phones and sure enough it let me deal with the problem. How odd. Thanks though
Did same thing, puk locked, got an unlock code straight away on the phone from my provider (orange UK), and he tried to help me put it in but it seems there is no way on the/my x10 handset. I had to put the sim in a different handset (my old P1) and then enter puk code to unlock the sim.
More for faq.
need your help seriously

Hello,
I have a UK version of the S3 (i think its the I9300) About a month ago I had it unlocked from the 3 network (UK) by one of the hundreds of shops that offer unlocking services.
When the phone was unlocked I could enter *#7465625# and it would say that the phone was unlocked to all networks ( I don't remember the exact words) Anyway all was good until last night when my phone upgraded something (I got a reminder in the notification bar that there was an upgrade available) - I've done this before. Now it is saying that the phone is SIM network locked again. And I am unable to enter the code to see whats up.
When I got it unlocked, I was told (obviously incorrectly) that once the code has been entered the phone can never lock itself to a network.
It seems to me, that somewhere in the upgrade 'Three' (who the phone was locked too) has made the phone relock itself.... Has anyone else had this problem, or can point me to the right forum. FYI I am on the O2 network.
Thanks in advance.
Seems like a bit of a nuisance, if every time the phone upgrades it relocks... Perhaps I need to Root the phone..
Known issue on some phone with the latest ICS updates from samsung
Use GalaxSim Unlock to re-unlock your phone
(needs to be rooted)
Update make your phone lock it self common thing.Mate this shops ripe u off. Just root your phone and take simlock using one of the apps from market or voodoo unlock. There is pleanty tutorials how to do it on xda. Its not really complicated o and u can try galaxy S 3 toolkit I think u can take simlock as well using that program hope t helped

Hi, I am looking for some help/advice about a Samsung Galaxy s2 (GT-i9100).
I purchased this phone new and unlocked in the UK back in October 2011 and have been using it fine over the last few months. Recently I gave this phone to a friend who was going traveling in India.
She bought an AirTel sim and used it in the phone for the past several weeks, however, last week she woke up and the phone was asking her to enter a “Network Access Lock Control Key”, and she can no longer use the phone or data (wifi still works).
I’ve done some research and it appears that the phone has somehow locked itself to a network. So I am now trying to figure out how to help her restore connectivity.
I know you can buy unlock codes online, however, we don’t know what provider the phone has locked itself to and all the unlock websites I’ve been on need you to specify the network provider. Is there any way of finding this out?
I also know you can get apps from the app store to unlock, however, you need to be rooted to do this, and this isn’t an option due to where she is at the moment.
So, does anyone have any advice or suggestions?
She has been to AirTel and they don’t know what is going on, she also took it to an official Samsung store who did a full firmware re-install but the phone still appears to be locked. Would this code be available from Samsung?
Any advice or suggestions is appreciated.
Thanks.

Tell ur friend to do the below and see if it resolves the issue
1)Turn off the phone and then remove 'Simcard'
2)Turn ON the phone without 'Simcard' and let it boot completely.
3)Turn Off the phone again and this time put the 'simcard' back.
4)Turn ON the phone with 'Simcard' and let her have 'Finger's Crossed' and pray god not to give the same issue until she leaves INDIA

I think you need to be rooted: he says thats not an option.
Sorted out now
Thanks for the suggestions but we managed to sort it out now.
After much research we rooted the phone using cwm-touch (ver 6.0.1.2-i9100) and the SU-Busybox installer zip.
We then used the GalaxySim unlock app from the app store to unlock the phone, all seems to be working now!
Hey guys. I have looked into almost every topic on this website that I could find about unlocking the phone. Tried most apps. But not successful! Even when I enter
Code:
*#7465625#
nothing appears! I strongly believe that the network has been frozen. I could not find somewhere to tell me if I have reached the number of allowed tries nor how to crack a network freeze!
Any help or threads I have no found (been searching for the past 4 hours) will be very much appreciated!
Hi
Am in UK with the above phone which is locked to t-mobile. I'm not a real IT whiz but can do SOME stuff - is there a relatively straightforward way of unlocking the phone? It HAS got (all) 5 attempts left; I've tried a couple of online dealers who say they CAN give me a code but they've not been able to for some reason.
I'd be very grateful for some help here - thanks very much in advance
I think you should contact T-mobile, only them can unlock your phone...As far as I know,when a phone is network locked you have to contact your provider for unlocking
