So I bought a Lumia 800 of someone and it's supposed to be unlocked. Unfortunately he packed the box by wrapping it in tape so the bar-code sticker is unreadable. My simcard gives the error "This Simcard can only be used on a specific network. Contact your Customer Service centre for the unlock code". But the problem is that under phone information the carrier/privder being listed is "Norway SW VariantID 430 v.05". It doesn't list a carrier but only a country as you can see. What does this mean?
i had the same problem
i bought lumia 800 (SIM free in UK) and used it on lyca mobile.
when i returned to india, when i installed airtel/vodafone it is not allowing.
Carrier: CV GB SW ID222 V08
After some googling... i found out that my phone is "Unbranded and Unlocked", GB version phone
i think it works only in that region..

or search for a little phone's repair shop in your city/town, which have ATF flasher box. With that box, you can sim-unlock your Lumia 800

hi all. i will buy tomorrow an hd2 which is locked on vodafone Romania. can you tell me if there is a sim unlock for free? if it's not, which website or "way" is safer to use it for unlocking? also, if you know a cheaper one i don't mind . I need to be unlocked fast (let's say in 1h after i pay, maximum). Thank you very much.
P.S. i've tried to search on hd2 thread but didn't find nothing about this.
that should be possible
search how to preform a HSPL install and how to update ROM
There is no free sim unlock solution , hspl install does not unlock sim .
Contact korter_gsm on ebay
He sent me a code in less than 2 minutes.
ok. i will contact him.
i saw now his posts, but a little problem that i have is that I don't need to unlock T-mobile version, but European version (vodafone romania). do you know any other place?
P.S. does anybody know something about this website?
or about this website?
HI there. Its korter_GSM from Ebay.
Regarding Vodafone Romania HD2 want to tell you. I have all HD2 codes including newest ones with IMEI 038 and 039 in the middle. But as you may already read somewhere, there are some operators that relocked the phones after receiving them from factory. So as we are providing only Factory codes, for some operators it may be wrong. Tmobile USA and many other operators dont have this issue and code for them are 100% correct. For Vodafone Romania i never checked.
for example. For A1 Austria Factory codes are wrong!
If any other question, contact me at Email [email protected]
or MSN [email protected]
i've made it in Romania, with 25 euro. thx all!
I have a problem regarding the update of my lumia 800. I bought via ebay a lumia 800 from germany but know i am using it in portugal with vodafone. The phone i think is unlocked but is branded to vodafone germany as the product code is the one from germany as it i can see in the nokia webpage support. There i can see that there is an update available for my device "059L701" but via zune its just says that my device as already the latest firmware. Currently i have the 12070 firmware and i don´t know why it won´t update. Can it be because i am using vodafone portugal as carrier and not vodafone germany? And how do i know if the phone is factory unlocked or was unlocked by some sort of firmware?
I have an unlocked United Kingdom Variant phone I am using in the USA on T-Mobile, so similar issue.
Try the disconnect trick on Zune, but make sure both your Cell data and Wifi are both turned OFF, or it won't work.
why you dont flash with NSS
i´m portuguese to and i dont receive update to
but i´m download FW from United Kingdom Variant TANGO
and its work very well

What code is it asking for?
anyway,
NOKIA LUMIA 800 : Existing device hardware version/s: RM-801 ("global") & RM-819 (Latin Americas) >>> If you are from Vietnam, you should use RM-801.
If you have used wrong firmware variant don't worry, follow case 1
Case 1: If it is asking for a 25-digit code, broken down to 5 boxes, it is easy to get it. You can obtain it from Microsoft HERE
Case 2:
Install Nokia Care Suit.
Connect your phone to PC and launch the NCS.
Check the phone details there. You should get the variant code as well.
Use this variant; this should work fine.
Case 3: If your phone is carrier locked, use NSS PRO to unlock SIM.1. Connect Phone to PC.
2. Start NSS PRO and use SIMLOCKS > WP7 > UNLOCK
This should do the trick, and you can use any SIM on your LUMIA phone.

Hi All,
I bought a LG V10 T-Mobile thru buy& sell online and didn't realized that it still Network Unlocked. I cannot use it to other Network provider and I am very frustrated already. I already try using several unlocking sites but the codes for my IMEI are always cannot be calculated. I'm not sure if this unit is just a demo and cannot be unlock. I also check my IMEI number to T-Mobile IMEI Checker from their site but unable to verify my number. Done also chatting with one of T Mobile support but they cannot also help me to unlock my phone. They said I need to by a T Mobile SIM Card but it is not possible because I'm from the Philippines. There is also a note engraved to my unit saying "Not for Sale H960A Rev 1.0".
Please help me if there's still a way to unlock the network of my phone.
Thank you.
