Anyone know what the method is for bypassing the sim activation to play with the phone?
should just be able to press home.
Tried that . No luck.
Tapping in the middle of the screen while it was at the activation/Start screen worked on some phones. Try pressing in all four corners as well?

Neither of those work either.
Try a factory reset from bootloader/recovery (doesn't require custom recovery)
In case anyone else is looking for how to do this... Use the tool provides to remove the pre-installed sim and boot up the phone. On the activation screen, it will now provide a skip button as there is no sim inserted.

I had to go into a Vzn store and have one of the sales guys put their SIM in. After that it worked.. no skipping it as far as I know. And of course I didn't read the whole thread...

I can confirm this works. Must have no sim inserted. If you put your carrier sim in it still tries to contact verizon.

What do I do if I need to use it on TMobile? I have ordered one brand new and hasnt been activated so what should I do? Just have no sim inserted and then insert sim afterward then reboot? Any method to get this phone working without a Verizon account? my phone is coming on Wed. Thanks guys

I am guessing I am coming late to the game here but what firm wear were on when this worked. I am not able to get this to work . runniing on the lastest ota rooted s off
Big oh fat bump on this bad dog.
To bypass activation:
At first screen you will be asked to select your language, then press start.
At the next screen is says waiting for activation.
Press all four corners. Top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left.
You need to do it sorta quick, and make sure your not hitting the status bar.
I can confirm that this works on every AOSP / CM based ROM I have tried.

I got my S2 through my carrier (Telenor Sweden), who told me early batches would be unlocked as they were still finalising how to lock it. It does indeed accept other SIMs just fine. As I understand there are four methods an S2 can be locked however:
1. [NCK] Network lock
2. [SCK] Subset lock
3. [SPCK] SP lock
4. [MCK]
How do I verify if my phone is locked in any of these ways? No sure what they entail to be honest.
Thanks!
*#SIMLOCK# if they all display as OFF then its unlocked.

"Personalizatiob Status"?
Is it only me who's seeing "Personalizatiob" on the SIMlock status screen? FW version KE7. Can anyone report a text fix on a different version?
Mine says that is all off, but when I put a SIM from another carrier doesn't work!

What carrier is that? Remember that the phone has to support the type of network as well.
Hi there,
Know this post is a little old but think my brain may explode!
I have a SGS2 and trying to sim unlock it. I have put in this code *#7465625* and says its all unlocked. Thing is it wont pick up the o2 service at all. I tried the unlocking apps and nothing was found or said phone was unlocked. If I make a call says 'Mobile network not available'.
It picks up the o2 APN settings which are all correct I believe, hope someone can help
2nd day of searching but the search still goes on for the answer! (lucky me! lol)
OK if anyone else has this problem might be worth looking into wether the IMEI has been blacklisted mine has!
I used a website called checkmend cost me £1.99 but soooo worth it!
Hopefully shouldn't be a problem returning it to CEX!!!
I have checked my phone, and it says that it is unlocked, everything is [OFF]. Yet when I put another SIM in, the phone won't accept it? How do I know if my phone supports another SIM card or not?
Hey..i got new 4g SIM cards with my phone and they are not set up. Do i need to ATT them or is there a way to set up myself. I've used search..and don't get any good results.
Thank you peeps.
Mam....You may feel a just a little discomfort.
call AT&T.
Pretty sure you need to have AT&T set up the SIM cards for you, don't think there is a way around that...

Yup, just bring your phone and the SIM you want to activate down to the AT&T store, they should be able to help ya out
AT&T online
All I know is when I got a new sim card and phone from AT&T I went online to my account and set it up from there. If theres multiple numbers on the account click the one you want to upgrade and see if takes you automatically to the setup screen. I cant remember how I got there, but if that dont wont type in "activate new sim card" or "activate phone" in the search questions area. Sign in first though.
actually, pop the new sim cards in your phone and from another phone dial
1-866-499-8008
press 1
punch in your number, it should automatically activate

Every so often, the message will pop up that no SIM card is detected and that the watch needs to restart? I have checked SIM card placement as well as ensured the door is properly inserted back into the watch. Anyone else having this problem?

I bought two gear s' from tmobile, out of the box one of them did that and even when swapping the sims around, it seemed to follow the watch. I called tmobile and they redid the provisioning of the sim, she said the order was stuck in some sort of loop. I never had that issue again and its been a few months already.

Thanks. Just so I understand, they reset your SIM or did they replace it?

She said that she "re-provisioned" it. After she did that it went from no sim detected to working normally within a few minutes. This was with a brand new watch with brand new sims directly from Tmobile.
I am having this issue as well. I can not get the watch to even see my sim card at all. What may be the issue?
I'm having the same issue.
Even my SIM card is not detected. This happened after over a year of use. Is this a hardware problem? Or will flashing modem.bin fix this issue?
Need help with this one... I just bought the phone from someone on Facebook. Well phone is unlocked and when I put my att sim card in it says inserted sim and restarts but still says no sim when it restarts. I called Sony and they told me to hook it to computer and download the software again so I did and it still has the same problem. I put my wife sim card it it it will read that there's a sim card inserted but will never give me cell service. I don't know what else to do. Please if anyone knows what I could try please let me know.. Thanks

Check your mobile network - access point name....does it have any APN service option....
Yeah, do what Martin wrote, and also try yet another SIM card. If it detected your wife's SIM, then it's probably not a hardware issue. May I ask how old your SIM is?
The SIM tray on the Ultra is also one of the worst designed trays in the history of time, so be 100% sure that you've put it in correctly.
The sim is only maybe 6 months old.. I am going to go in the morning and see about another sim. Maybe it will work.

Okay, so it's definitely not the SIM card, but the phone did detect your wife's SIM, so I'm not sure what the issue could be
I will post what I find out tomorrow when I take it to att tomorrow
OK so I took the phone to my phone provider and got a new sim and it works great now. But when I make a call on it the screen goes black and can't turn it back on until the phone hangs up even if the phone is nowhere near my face. I have looked to maybe keeping the phone on during call but there is no setting for that. I have read a few forms about this and there's only stuff about screen protector or cases which I am not using either of them. Please if anyone know something about this please help.. Thanks

1. What Android version do you have installed?

Hi, I have a galaxy s9+ 965F and I was running a T-Mobile sim, the phone was working fine for about a week now all of a sudden when I boot the phone up it's saying invalid Sim please enter code PUK. Can anyone enlighten me on what happened to my phone and is there anything I can do to get it back working? I've called T-Mobile and they gave me the PUK but it doesn't accept it, I've called samsung and they send me right back to TMobile.

Try seeing if the sim card isn't seated correctly. You can do this easily... Power off the phone, remove the sim card tray and making sure it's in the tray correctly. Then reinsert the sim card try and power on the phone.
If that doesn't help then for what ever reason the phone became sim locked, so you need to contact the carrier whom the phone came from and ask them for the code.
T-Mobile won't be able to give you that code unless the phone came from them. I would be careful not to enter the incorrect PUK code in to many times in case it ends doing some sort of hard lock or disables the sim card.
