Help!
I am in the USA visiting from the UK.
I have a One Max and have unlocked the bootloader and managed to s Off.
I want to enable the phone for a US T Mobile sim to allow me to use data roaming, can anyone advise how I do this or point me to a thread with instructions?
Currently the phone asks for a pin when I insert the sim.
Thanks.

Are you talking about SIM pin or the Phone PIN? Do you know if it's a SIM unlock Code or something else?

When I insert my UK Vodafone sim the phone connects to US AT&T with no issues.
When I insert the US T Mobile sime the phone says..."Network locked, please contact customer care" on the front screen and "SIM Network Unlock Pin" when the phone is open.
Thanks

Fixed.
For those who may be in a similar position I needed to change the CID to the super ID,
To do this, I did the following:
fastboot oem readcid (making a note of the old cid - just in case)
fastboot oem writecid 11111111 (that's 8 1s)
load recovery
clear all caches
reboot...all worked

You have your sim blocked. When you put more than 3 times wrong pin the sim card is locked and you need to put your puk to unlock the sim. Just find your puk code for the sim card normally it come with the card bid if you don have it just call your provider and tell them you wost your puk code or just you never had one.
For unlock the phone for other provider you need to quit your original sim card an put for other provider then you enter you unlocking code.
Hi Bojan,
thanks but I tryed with the sim puk and also with teh sim puk2 but without success.
Network PUK is not the same as simcard PUK.
It looks like it's needed when someone has locked phone to use only with one simcard. This code can't be cleared by hardreset or new rom.

Big K, why 2 unlock codes? Where you found the second one?
Currently there is only one solution for SIM Blocked message. You have to use turbosim/xsim card.
I wrote a program that generates scripts for EasyClicker, which I run with MyMobiler. Entering codes this way is much faster than typing them on TG01. Unfortunately checking all 8-digit codes will take about 555 days
There is thread on some russian forum about network puk & G900. I'll try to find it and post it here.

My tg01 history:
I bought the phone on ebay, in latvia and come with sim + tornado sim, no signal, ols sim, just for example. With my three usim phone don't work, now I received an UK sim from orange, all ok, phone work in roaming. I got the puk code from my orange UK account but this one don't deblock my phone with other sim card. So, now I'm waiting for the Orange answer about my sim block. When I have news I post here. Thanks a lot

You need the sim ulock code. The cheapest is from [email protected] wit 10 pound send from pay pal and 25min late you have your unlocking code.
Be careful when you use sim like a turbo sim, usim and etc....
If You ask orange for network puk they will answer about sim card puk that You already have.
I have orange UK sim card and it's working too. With any other card I have SIM Blocked message.
bojan6, I have unlock code from Vitamise, but I can't enter it. I have to enter Network PUK first, then probably I'll be able to enter unlock code. So gino70, if You buy code from Vitamise it will be useless unless You enter Network PUK.

I have a Vitamise code but doesn't work. I think unlock sim and sim blocked are two different thinks, two level of phone blocking.

Because I saw that the turbo sim can break your phone with time.
That strange because a lot of people had their code from this guy and me to.
And if you put your orange sim card and its work the problem is not coming from the mobile. Chek the sim you use not from orange the other one. I think that is the problem. Try with sim from other providers and dont use turbo sim or other similar with it. Then post here what's happen.
I've tried about 10 different sim cards - always SIM Blocked.
Network PUK request appears on motorola mpx200/220 after 3 unsuccessful attempts to enter unlock code. Leaving phone for 8 hours at code entering screen works for motorola but not for tg01

And you are sure you have the correct unlocking code? When you asc for your unlocking code vitamise you give him the correct IMEI and original provider.
Can you post what error msg you have when you put the code?
I got unlock code from Orange for the Orange HTC Mozart. It did accept the code and accepted the non-Orange SIM but showing no signal. I have tried with other non-Orange SIMs but still no service (no signal) but as soon as I put my orange sim back in, it worked fine for both 3G and 2G signals.
Does this mean that the code provided only did the SIM unlocking function but not the carrier unlocking bit. BTW, although orange mentioned in the instruction that phone will ask for code two times, but in my case it only asked once.
Orange seems to fail even to understand the problem. any tip / trick?

I've unfortunately done the same thing,now i have no network,it asks me for a pin code but when it unlocks says sim card error.I've tried with different sim cards,still the same,please can anyone help?I have done this with the same phone as you,alcatel ot990,any progress?
Please can anyone help us,i'm without my phone for 5 days,there must be someone who can give us an answer!!!
Sorry if i'm spamming,but i'm hoping that someone here will see this thread,and maybe give me a helpful answer.I'm also hoping to see the creator of this thread,i want to know is there any progress on his phone,is there a way to repair this?This phone maybe doesn't cost much,but it isn't a small amount in country where i live,i can't afford myself a new phone!
Ok,
If you have a phonw wich is code frozen and no network after unlocking with code you should upload this ROM r1_de-branded_ot990-update-signed.zip and after that udating the phone with the update software wich you can download from Alcatel home page. After that your phone should work as before...

Ok, same problem, jodanks way does not work but looks prommising to put back phone in factory state for possibly warranty issues.
From Tommy I hope I'll get the contact where he did fix his phone.
From eBay unlocker I got message I need Furious box.
I have entered the unlock code I received from AT&T and it tells me the request was unsuccesful. Any ideas as to why this might happen?
Well you could start with any kind of information about what ROM you're running

I am running stock rom, I just updated to 4.0.4 from Kies
I downgraded to 2.3.4 and manged to unlock it via root and program. Is there a way to update to 4.0.4 again without losing sim unlock?

Why not just goes with the JellyBean? You are alreaedy rooted.
I was also slightly reluctant to go the app route to unlock the sim on mine, especially since the "legit" way seemed to be trouble free. On 4.0.4, I used #7465625*638*# to bring up the sim unlock prompt, worked without a hitch.
The AT&T rep also noted to me that you get 5 attempts before its permanently locked? any truth to that?
I originally posted this in the AOKP thread, since that's what I am currently running. I'll just paste what I had there for now.
Well, I'll be out of the country for a month or so, and I called AT&T to get the unlock code, which they gave to me after a few minutes of discussion as to why I needed it. However, putting it in yielded no results. I asked earlier (maybe in a different thread) if running an aftermarket ROM would have any effect, and I was told it would not. Was I told something wrong?

After doing some research, it seems that AOSP based ROMs seem to have issues with unlock codes. I'd rather not downgrade all the way back to stock, so if anyone has any suggestions or thoughts, I'd appreciate it.

Shostock3. The current version is v2.5.1. Don't know about unlock. I am already unlocked officially by the vendor.

Yeah I finally managed to unlock it. I entered the MCC/MNC number for the SIM I am using and it worked. But you need the unlock code to add them. I will post the steps later.
[Edit]
Here are the steps I followed:
1. Turn the phone Wi-Fi OFF and then turn device ON without SIM card.
2. Type *7465625*638*#
3. You will see the NETWORK LOCK screen
4. In MCC/MNC field, enter MCC/MNC code for the provider you want to use. (example: enter 310260 if you want to use this phone for T-mobile USA Sim Card; 310410 or 310380 for AT&T). Check this link for complete MCCMNC for your provider: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code (It is very important to try all the MCC/MNC code if your New Sim Card Network has more than one code)
5. In CONTROL KEY field, enter the Unlock Code
6. Press OK
7. You should get a message: LOCK SUCCESSFUL
8. Turn off your phone, insert your New Network Sim Card and power ON. The phone should be unlocked.

This worked for me... but I didn't have a new SIM to switch too yet, so just put in the AT&T MCC/MNC and popped my SIM back in. Does this mean it's unlocked for all possible future networks now? Or do I need to do this process and put in a new MCC/MNC each time I switch to a different SIM?

I would just order an off network SIM off Amazon for 50 cents. I called AT&T yesterday and asked for the code so once I got the SIM from Amzn I just shoved it in the phone and when it asks for the unlock put it in and voila! Btw... once a phone has been successfully unlocked (at least through legit methods) it is permanent and the IMEI should be able to be recognized across all compatible networks worldwide.
This took awhile but It worked!! My phone was hard locked too.

i think you can call vodaphone and ask them to unlock the phone, i dont think we can do anything about having 0 unlock codes (sony security bleh)
The fact is i got it as a gift and i live in Bangladesh.

Can you put a screenshot of the same? If it says 5 for network with an [x] before the network, then it means your phone has 5 attempts to unlock it. If you wish to get your phone unlocked you can PM me
You can unlock your phone by unlock code by purchasing it from a supplier.
