Not sure if this is the right section as not been on these forums for awhile.
I need some help with mobile network on galaxy ace.
The phone works with 02 sim card. Currently trying to get the phone to accept Sainsburys mobile sim.
I have followed the steps to unlock the phone here: http://tech.deepumohan.com/2012/11/how-to-unlock-samsung-galaxy-ace-for.html
However, i do not get any unlock codes. I get the 'or or or' error.
When i put the sim in, i dont get asked for any unlock codes and my *#SIMLOCK# says everything is off. I get full bars on network widget in status bar but i am unable to do anything like make an receive calls.
Can anybody help?
TIA

From my understanding, once you get the code to a phone.
If my phone is a T-Mobile based phone do I,
Put the SIM card of the carrier that I plan on using the phone with -in my case it's WindMobile.
...and then enter the unlock code?
Or do I put an entirely different SIM (not TMobiles, not WindMobile) card in the phone from a 3rd carrier and enter the code and once entered turn the phone off, put MY carrier's SIM card in and power the phone on?
Anyone?
I just got my codes, kinda, sorta (not really, but I am) anxious to get my Vibrant going here.
Thanks.
Thanks.
So, doing it through the dialer, I got "Not registered on network" .
Will move to Vibrant specific fora...they'll help you
lol thanks Mod
Anyone have any suggestions on what I should do?
The T-Mobile code given is giving us a "network unlock unsuccessful" prompt after we enter the code they gave us.
The IMEI is right, so... dunno...
Hey guys hope you can help me.
I bought the code to unlock the network on my galaxy i9100, currently is locked to telcel mexico.
The thing is that I put in an AT&T sim card and no imput is displayed to enter the unlock code, when I put a T-Mobil sim card a blue lock is displayed saying Network Lock and a button sayin dismiss but no input to capture the code.
So what should I do? I was seaching in several posts and I think that changing the rom to another not from telcel can allows me to capture the unlock code, do you know if that is true? if so, can you tel me, what ROM is compatible to my samsung galaxy I9100 from Mexico ?
Thanks.
SIM Unlock SGS2 Telcel
Hi, I got last week my SGS2 for Telcel and I'm afraid you waste your money with the code, don't worry I also bought an usefulness code.
I did these steps:
DIAL *#SIMLOCK# (7465625) you will have a popup displaying Personalization status, the option NETWORK LOCK [YES] means your mobile is locked for TELCEL, the other options displays OFF.
IF you have NETWORK LOCK [OFF] means your mobile is SIM unlocked.
First you need to root your device, look in the forum how to do that and download busybox.
Well to unlock download from the market the app Galaxy_S Unlock market.android.com/details?id=com.helroz.galaxysunlock (it works with S and SII)
Open the app and follow steps, WARNING there are two steps for number two, I used second one.
Once finished, reboot the mobile and dial one more time *#SIMLOCK# you will have now NETWORK LOCK [OFF]
However I installed a SIM from IUSACELL it doesn't work, what worked for me was downgrade the the version to 2.3.3 reboot with IUSACELL simcard adn voila it is working. After IUSACELL simcard is accepted I upgraded to 2.3.6
You can change the version, root, no matter which change, even restore to Telcel image and the mobile will continue unlocked.
I hope it works for you, if you have any problem just let me know via DM or my twitter @D4N13L0G

What ROM is compatible, I downloaded one from the link above, one from telcel, and works fine the problem is that when I switch the sim card it says that is network locked, so I need another ROM but i dont know what is compatible with telcel, any help?
Thanks
thanks to hugeband here is the guide that he sent to me to downgrade the galaxy s2(telcel), the only proble, that I had, was that i return to android 2.3.6 from telcel, and the Rom is locking the sim card again....
to get the guide please send me a PM or to hugeband and we will send you the URL.
There's something odd, I unlock the galaxy s2 with the method described here and I am pretty sure that it is woking, since my GS2 is using now a T-Mobile sim card, well, the odd thing is when I switch the sim card for an AT&T sim card, the GS2 is still displaying the sim card error message.... I don't have the telcel rom anymore but this message is still happening. Odd thing.
Similar problem
Hi i have a similar problem. my network block is off but I still can't use my iusacell sim. The problem is that i am already in 2.3.3. What should I do?
The problem is that Telcel's modem is a locked one, so even if your device is "technically" unlocked, the modem file will keep popping that annoying lock thing.
1) Dial this from your phone*#7465625#
2) If you have the network lock off, go to next step, otherwise try to follow the second post of this threat until your network lock is off.
3) Flash any rom (or modem file if you wish to keep telcel's crappy apps) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 After carefully reading the guide posted by Intratech and then try to switch sim cards again.
*As always be very careful before flashing anything and read all of the instructions. No one can take responsibility if you mess something up except for yourself... If you follow the instructions to the letter you should have no problems, as myself and others have done this before.
*If you have any more questions please post them in this threat so more people can learn, I will not respond to PMs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1075278 Not working anyother links or forum?? i cant seem to unlock mines, same telcel i tried helroz method but still cudnt work but wen i dial *#7465625# everthing is off
Hi,
I am having a Samsung P7500 Galaxy tab,
I had sent it overseas with my wife, bu before that I called my service provider and get the Sim unlocking code, then I tried with different Sim and it was asking code we enter and it was all good. she took it overseas and enter local Sim, it was working fine, then move to different city use there local Sim, working fine but when she tried to enter different Sim again, it was asking for Sim unlocking code again,
she has enter too many codes before calling me, like 00000 then 12345, so and so, when she called me and I had given the code which I was having from service provider, she entered and getting message that network unlocking is unsuccessful.
Now what????? If my tab is permanently locked, or is there any option....
if rooting is solution, or something els.
I tried to Google it, but nothing found about it.
Thanks.

I am still waiting for answer guys, its 3 days now....
any way some one suggest me that its PUK locked, get the PUK code from service provider....
I have a question the same sim card when I am entering in different mobile its working fine, in tab its showing network pin unsuccessful. i can see the main screen of tab. the only problem is there is no network. can anyone figure what the problem can be...???
The sim is working ok in an other phone? That means it is not locked and should work normally in your tablet if you enter the correct code. Obviously it is not..
You could try a factory reset:
- hold down left volume button while booting
- in menu press left volume button again to select recovery menu
- right volume button to enter recovery
- select wipe data/factory reset
- reboot

Hi folks,
I have a pickle of a situation here that I am finding it hard to grasp why this Network Lock continues to plague me.
Seems I cannot manage unlock a Galaxy S2 handset even with the correct IMEI.
Or to understand what exactly is going on here which brief story as follows.
The IMEI number is written on the back of the phone under the battery.
The code *#06# displays IMEI also displays the correct IMEI.
I then go to the Vodafone Site to unlock: https://unlock.vodafone.com.au/voila/handsetunlock/self-service.html?method=selectService
I enter in the correct IMEI number, after I enter the Captcha code and click next, it replies with the Unlock Code for me.
But every time I enter in the Unlock Code that I was given, it returns: Network Unlock request unsuccessful.
I then flash the phone with Odin to a official XSA version, still the same.
I then return to the Voda Rom and its still the same.
Yet, if I use a Voda sim on either Rom it works perfect.
For the life of me, how does one get past this Network sim lock?
Anybody got any ideas to why or how to solve this matter?
Ok folks, seems to be moving in the right direction for sorting this out.
Turns out, a friend of mine put his sim in, and entered in passwords causing the lock out.
Got in touch with Voda on the phone, they said the main account holder of the phone needed to request the reset.
As it turns out, the girl whom I also asked for assistance (who I got the handset from) also got Vod to resend a new reset code.
Will take 4 working days there about, so at least the problem will or should be solved.
Failing that, just going to fully flash it to some updated fancy rom
Cheers~!
Hello all,
It has been awhile since I've been on here. I apologize if I am posting in the wrong section (this forum has changed so much over the years).
Anyways, I am currently a T-Mo customer and just got a Metro PCS Samsung Galaxy SGH-M819N because I thought I could simply flash a rom that would allow me to use T-Mobile sim card. However, it turns out that it may not be that simple.
Can someone advise whether or not I am able to unlock the sim (without paying it through sites such cellunlocker.net) via flash? If so, would you be kind to direct me to the site or page which gives directions?
Thanks,
eastbay80
oK, i paid
4update:
I am ended buying an unlock code via eBay for $14.99. I enter the code and the phone no longer asks for SIM unlock code BUT now it does not register with any carriers.
i inserted my t-mo sim card into the phone, go to settings, and tried to automatically and manually connect to the tmobile network but keep getting the "unable to connect at this time. try again later" message.
i contacted tmobile via chat and provided imei number and sim card number but was still unable to connect.
i flash backed to stock firmware 4.4.4 and still no luck.
i checked my "device info" and under "phone status" it shows my phone number assigned to the sim card but not connecting to service provider.
Any ideas anyone? Please help.

I am able to connect with the stock Metro PCS apn.
I am also able to use TMO apn as well.
Make sure the apn is correct.
Go to more networks and then mobile network.
