Hello everyone, this is my first time at XDA and i would like to ask if i could get assistance with the unlocking and rooting of my phone kyocera wx04k; it was locked to "WILLCOM" a telecomms network in japan, and has refused to listen to the radio signal of other networks. I promise to give $20 to anyone who helps me find a working solution, $20 might not be a big deal, but atleast it's something that came from the heart. thank to anyone who will give his assistance and i hope to hear from you soon. i can be contacted by private messaging or you can send me a mail to [email protected]. Once again, Thank You!

hi all
i've bought a T-mobile HD2 from someone in USA online.it's locked to T-mobile,so i called the USA T-mobile CS rep for an unlock code.surprisingly,that man was quite happy to unlock my phone for me,for free,
AS LONG AS i can get someone in USA with a T-mobile account(anyone,not just the seller who owned the phone) to call the company's customer service and ask them to unlock my phone.
do you really think it's possible that someone who only has an account can unlock others' phones just by giving T-mobile a call? that man convinced me that all i need to do is to give that person IMEI code and my email address and ask for a favour.it doesn't cost anyone anything and doesn't affect that person's account either.how good is that.
please give me some advice on this if you have had a similar experience. if it does work,can anyone in USA with a T-mobile account be so kind to do me a favour? please leave a message or email me if interested.i would really appreciate it!
thanks
John
Check this thread out! - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=601611
thanks. but the thread is mainly talking about getting an unlock code OUTSIDE tmobile.if there is a way to get the code FROM tmobile,which is safer,why not try?and it doesn't sound to me very difficult,so this is what i am asking:is it easy/not easy to get a code from tmobile USA?

Ok so I love my vibrant sooo much! sometimes my girlfriend says i spend more time trying out new roms than i do trying things with her anyway.... I had to switch off the tmobile network to Duet wireless, I don't know if this is something that can be done or not but I am just wondering if someone can walk me through how to unlock the phone for this company and if roms from the devs will still work on it after. I know the basics of rooting and flashing new roms but I couldn't find much on how to unlock the phone for other companies.
Thanks all,
Call T-Mobile customer support and ask for your unlock code. They are obligated to give it to you. Call from another phone, since they will probably ask for the number(s) printed under your battery to find your code for you. Simple as that. If Duet uses the same frequencies as T-Mo, you'll be fine, if not, you'll at least have a nice PMP.
Hi All,
Recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S2 from Gumtree online. It was only working on o2 network so got at unblocked from a guy at a market stall so that it works on all network sims. It was working fine for about a week but then randomly came up with a message saying "emergency calls only" and I coulnt make or recieve calls or texts even if i changed the sim to o2. The internet was still functioning correctly however.
Called network provider and have been told that there is a bar on it by an insurance company. Tried to get back to the seller but have not been able to contact him. Have reported him but I would just like to know is there any way to unblock this phone at all? Dont want to lose out on all the money spent on it. would it be worth downloading any unblocking applications if the phone has a bar on it?
Please any ideas, comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Apologies for the long message
Thanks

This forum is for the SGH-I777 (AT&T version, four capacitive buttons at the bottom.)
You're in the UK and bought from the UK equivalent of Craigslist, so you likely have an I9100. This isn't the forum for you.
Either way, nothing anyone here can do to help you - we are all AT&T customers.
Not to mention, sounds like you bought a hot (stolen) phone. Only the carrier it was first connected to can unblock the IMEI and unless you can prove you bought it legitimately they are unlikely to do so. If the insurer already paid out on a claim then they will never do so. Buying from unknown sources is a bad idea.
So in short, sounds like the guy got scammed.

I am looking for anyone who can help me.. i have tried everything.. every website i have found on or off this forum to unlock my t-mobile UK locked lumia 800. Everyone has given me a refund back and been unable to help me.. I live in australia and am a student so simply buying a new one is not affordable for me.. i have tried calling t-mobile int he uk numerous times endured lengthy costly calls only to have them tell me they cant help me because i am not a t-mobile customer..
Initially i was in contact with the person that i purchased th phone off and t-mobile sent them an unlock code for me which they passed on.. BUT it doesnt work?? the code is wrong or faulty.. and they have since ceased contact with me rendering me handicapped with a glorified gps camera..
SO i offer say this
1. Can anyone suggest a way for me to unlock my phone
2. Is anyone who is a t-mobile customer who would be willing to ring them up on my behalf (i would provide you with all the information about my phone) and get an unlock code for me..?

Did you try to flash stock unbranded firmware? Idk if this overwrites simlock but you can try it.
simlock is not flashing dependant to any firmware. it is hard-written to eeprom or PM or something similar.
anyway if this site http://sim-unlock.net/site/Nokia/Lumia 800/ shows temporarily unavailable then you are temporarily out of luck!!
I was in a position simialr to you.
I can only guess that T-Mobile were sending out erroneous unlock codes, as the first one I received from my seller didn't work. After a few months and some shouting at him, he called T Mobile back and got an 'update' code which worked.
Is the owner's email address accesible to you? Try sending him a reasonable email advising him that he just needs to give T Mobile a quick ring and they can sort it all out. If not, get more details from whatever service you used to buy it from him (ebay, etc) and send him a stronger email.
If he sold you an unlocked lumia and you agreed to take the locked one WITH an unlock code (a fully unlocked phone delivered in two stages) then he does have an obligation to either provide it or give a refund (as he has missold a good).
Edit:
I do have a T Mobile account and would be willing to give it a try getting you an unlock code. PM me.

If you have gone through the other posts about sim unlock the T-Mobile LG V10, you must have come across users complaining that the Device Unlock app as well as the third party unlockers are not able to sim unlock some LG V10 phones, predominantly the ones that are purchased from the LG Partner Purchase Programs. Just want to check if there is any ROM that can help overcome this or can give the device unlock code popup when tried through the dialer? It's such a disappointment that I couldn't use this beautiful device on my network and struggling to find out a way for this unlocking.
For users who are having the same issue, do you think we need to go through an FCC Complaint for this?
I guess calling T-Mobile is of no help, no way they can add the IMEIs of such devices to the database?
I've been meaning to suggest this for a while. It's a huge longshot, because it seems to be limited to Samsung devices, but this fellow is able to unlock lots of their models by himself. I thought possibly someone could contact him and see if he might know anything about LG devices, or be up to the challenge of maybe tinkering with it. Wish I could be more helpful..

@YrrchSebor I checked with the developer on this.unfortunately he cannot unlock lg v10 ?
This has been mostly successful for people: https://www.unlockbase.com/phone-unlocking-service/tmobile-device-unlock-app-official-unlock/
Thanks for the reply @siraltus. I did try their service, but they refunded me back!!

That sucks... oh well, we tried!
Hmm, I started a PayPal dispute with the seller and he declined mentioning PayPal will not consider buyer's remorse. Also since it was never used on a T-Mobile account, it isn't register in their databases. I am planning of taking a 100$ prepaid account, use it for 3 days, apply for unlock and then escalate the claim to PayPal as hardware issue. Will that work? Did anyone try this way with PayPal?
Did you try activating the phone by buying prepaid card? How did it go? I am facing same issue and looking for solution as well.
Guys I found a solution for this finally and it's legit.

Call and email her. She is the one to make it happen. Just don't waste her time of you don't qualify for an unlock.
Got my cellphone unlocked finally. I filed a complaint on FCC complaints portal. I got a call from t mobile within a week. The caller took my IMEI and asked me to wait till further communication. Today I got a call from t mobile telling me that they were able to whitelist my IMEI. I tried the unlock app and my phone was unlocked.
