MetroPCS emailed me the unlock codes finally but they did not give me any instruction. When I google instructions I get a lot of spam sites trying to sell me code, Hope someone here could help.
easiest method:
pull out your SIM card and put in an non supported SIM card... if you are locked to metroPCS than anything else like T-Mobile, AT&T etc, doesnt need to be working in service card even..
a box will pop out informing you that a non-supported SIM has been inserted and to enter a code if you want to unlock the phone.
put i the code they send you in the field and press "OK"
this is just a one time thing, once you do that, your phone will remain unlocked even of you factory reset it or update the firmware/OS or you install a diferend ROM.

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...
Hello,
It is my first post, I just bought my htc 7 mozart.
I want to unlock it, so i could use my polish carrier sim card (carrier name Play).
I have sim-unlock code that i got after giving my imei number.
My question is when do i write this sim-unlock code?
Many quides on net say that i should insert my sim card (not orange uk but polish play) and after switching on the phone will be displayed area for entering this code.
When i turn device on i get information that there is no sim or it is invalid and i have 2 options :
1 click 'emergency call' (in this area) i cant type my unlock code.
2 click 'close' and device continues booting and after few sec i get main wp7 screen.
So i'm not asked for my unlock code.
Where in this phone is place to type sim unlock code?
I've seen some people here unlocked their htc mozarts with code, could someone write please how it can be done?
I say once again it's locked on orange uk.
Sorry for my bad english.
Thanks in advance guys.
Will debranding/flashing help?
There must be an option to unlock it via code...
When i use my polish card or no card at all in mainscreen of wp7 i see a cell 'no sim' i click it and again emergency calls only.
Where to type this sim-unlock code?
When I unlocked my Orange UK phone, it asked for a pin when I inserted my O2 sim card. This was when I entered the unlock code and after that it's been fine.
I don't see why an overseas SIM would be different, but one way round this would be to buy a UK PAYG sim from eBay or similar, then use that to unlock, then use your sim after that?
IT'S DONE
I was inserting sim card wrong way, when i had put it properly i was asked for unlock code.
I have my mango beta on it, i have to test many applications now

Hello,

Hi all,
I have a strange problem with my phone. Hope someone will be able to help me.
I was not sure if my phone is unlocked when I came on holiday. Bought and put a different provider sim card and there was no signal. Also showed nothing to type unlocking code, so I thought that maybe something with a new sim card is wrong.
I bought a second card from another provider to be sure. On the screen appeared: enter sim network unlock code or something like that. ok so I have to unlock.
Now the strangest thing. when I put back my old sim card (o2), on the screen appeared again: enter sim network unlock code!
Since then I can not use the phone because it still asks for the unlock code.
I tried to change the soft but still do not have signal and no longer asks for the unlock code. anyone know how to force a window to enter the code?
I tried unlocking code from a cellunlocker but not working and and when i switched on my mobile is showing invalid SIM card.
someone has any ideas of what i can do with it?
sry for my english
Just purchased an HTC One and an unlock code, and upon inserting a T-Mobile sim card into the slot, I do not receive the Sim Network Unlock Pin request menu, instead I receive an error Phone Not Allowed MM #6 which I've read means the phone has a bad IMEI, but the phone works flawlessly with my AT&T Sim card meaning it cant be a bad IMEI. Am I just a noob and missing one simple step? I've rooted hundreds of phones and im coming from my HTC One X rooted and unlocked, so if anyone can help please respond as soon as possible, as I said I already have my unlock code, just unable to attain the input menu, the phone is NOT stolen.
Thanks so much,
Z?

Does anyone on earth have a clue whats going wrong? I sat on the phone with AT&T, HTC, and T-Mobile for hours and no one has a clue why I'm not being asked for my unlock code upon inserting the sim card, please I cant be the only person who has had this issue, i have now tried many hard reboots, unlocked boot loader, even flashed maximus 7 HD to try and reset the counter and still no luck.

I also recently bought an AT&T HTC One from Craiglist. When I inserted a T-Mobile SIM card it prompted me to enter the unlock code, which I entered then the phone rebooted and it no longer asked me for the unlock code.
BUT, i was not able to get a signal and got the MM #6 error.
The error apparently can be from the phone being black listed. in my case the phone is not blacklisted.
The other reason, it seems, since the phone was bought from AT&T with subsidies, AT&T will not allow the phone to be used on t-mobile.
Had the previous owner requested the unlock code before selling it then it would have been unlocked.
For now, I am using it with aio for $40/month which is pretty good.

Hi all,
I have a Huawei Mate 2 from Freedom (Wind) Mobile. I have updated it to Lollipop 5.1 by unlocking the bootloader. In fact I made a guide for it a while back.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/general/guide-step-step-wind-mobile-canada-t3387490
Recently in Canada the cellular service providers are forced by law to give us an unlock code for free. After unlocking the phone would work with any service provider. This phone has a pretty big battery and would be ideal for a travel or backup phone.
I successfully got an unlock code from Freedom (which was pretty easy). I then put in sim cards from another provider (Koodo, Fido, etc). However the screen for me to enter the unlock code never popped up. It just say "no service".
I tried to manually set it up, by clicking the notification. "No Service: Selected network (Telus 3G) unavailable". However it won't register. Neither did the unlock code entering screen ever pop up.
And under data settings it say no SIM card. However the phone works perfectly when I insert my Freedom SIM card. But when a foreign SIM card was inserted it just say no SIM.
My question is has anyone been able to unlock this phone under Lollipop 5.1? How did you get to the "Enter Unlock Code" screen?
I also wonder if anyone has any luck unlocking with the original Android 4.3. If someone did, maybe I should flash the phone back to its original OS.
Thanks in advance!
