[Q] Are all network unlock codes 8 digit? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Just wondering if all network unlock codes are 8 digit. I have a samsung GT-S6010 and an unlock I purchased from my provider (optus Australia) doesn't work.
I'm pursuing it with my provider but I read on here about unlocks and the like and they were 8 digit codes instead of the 7 digit I received.
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Samsung unlock codes are all 8, Some other manufacturers have a different way or longer codes. Have never seen a 7 digit code for any phone and I do unlocking at my shop and deal with all kinds.

Thanks for the confirmation.
I've just been in contact with samsung support because my privider had failed to call me back.
They have told be it's a 7 digit unlock code but I felt they didn't understand me and were just agreeing with my provider.

Thanks again. I will be heading to the shops and seeing what they can do. Online/phone tech support is so bad.

You're welcome. And yes, I hate dealing with them. It is a very rare occasion that I don't know more than the customer service rep and it's not uncommon I have to help them. :/

Just got a text from optus with my unlock code. No apology just the code. Its the exact same number but with a zero at the front to make it an 8 digit number. I guess their system decided I didn't need leading zeros. I swear blind I tried a zero at the end and the front but it works now.
So samsung tech support fail. Optus tech support fail.

Minor details, hmm? lol Glad all is well now at least.

As I understand, you bought unlock code at ebay, used it for your locked to ATT phone, but it didn't work and your phone is still locked, right?

rogers x10 not att.. thats odd.. did you do a search? Mobile in canada has had a good track record.. I would suggest you contact the seller and get the " unlock code "

Oops, yeah, just after reading another thread about ATT. Usually seller doesn't care about "aftersale service". And the price for locked phones usually lower, than for unlocked. Look like mobileincanada is the best option. And they throw promotions sometimes even for 1 cent unlocking.

It was network locked to Rogers. I usually buy the network unlock code off from eBay and and then I am good to go with any sim.
However this time, it went in to sim locked after trying it to network unlock. Now the phone is asking for the sim unlock code. I am with Fido.. i don't know if the phone wants original rogers sim unlock code which i don't have.

OK, I think I know the problem. After you entered the unlock code you got off ebay, that unlocked your phone. Now, whatever SIM card you have there, the phone is asking for the PIN number which is usually a 4 digit number. You can call the SIM card's operator and they will give it to you. If you enter the PIN number more than 3 times incorrectly, then it will ask for a PUK number.

I don't think they'll give PIN through phone for security reasons. Even if they send SIM card by mail, the PIN number is sent in separate mail. Maybe they send it again to mail address from the agreement, but they can require personal visit. I already forgot those things still exist...
I tried with several different sim cards but its the same result. Asking for "SIM unlock network code". The guy who provided me the code on eBay went vanished. No help from him. But he said the code he provided for the phone is right.
So I tried with a rogers sim... vola it works. But I am with Fido its not Rogers I want.
I called the service menu and it says "network - 0" and "sim - 0". Does 0 mean no futher unlock can be done?

Mine is unlocked through cable and I have all 3 except SIM - it is 3 and no one is checked. One guy officially unlocked his phone and this is his service menu before and after:
*** Begin ***
The information in the SIM lock menu was :
[x] Network 10
[] Network subset 10
[] Service provider 10
[] Corporate 10
[] SIM 0
I received the new unlock code about an hour after I ordered it.
After writing the unlock code for the new IMEI I had this message on the first try :
Network unlock successful.
Yay! And the SIM lock menu now is :
[] Network 10
[] Network subset 10
[] Service provider 10
[] Corporate 10
[] SIM 0
*** End ***
Yes, it behaves like it is locked to network, so the code is wrong - it is time to open dispute for full refund and negative feedback for this seller. He will have the chance to settle the problem during the dispute. He can say whatever he wants, but the code didn't work at your phone.
So, you have two options - to find a new code or to go to cable unlock service. Use search or take a look to a fresh thread AT&T X10a Unlocked. Actually it is the last resort and costs $36.5 and $40 respectively. Since you have Rogers, check mobileincanada.com first - I din't get code for my phone, but they answered my email pretty fast and have good references. As I remember, they charge around $20, but promotions were up to (actually down to) 1 cent.

Much appreciated for the info.
This is what says on service menu;

I got this phone from someone else. I wonder he screwed by entering wrong codes several times. I have opened up a dispute on PayPal. I am waiting for the resolution.
I guess its the cable option is the last resort for me, or just throw it on eBay for a Rogers sim card owner. I would check with mobilecanada first.

I'm not an expert, but look like someone used all the attempts to enter unlock code, It seems to me, originally mine had [x] Network 9, so I had 9 attempts, but since I used cable method, that can reset those counters, I see 3 now. Usually dispute will take around a week if the seller don't show up and usually in favor to a buyer. But refund will stay at your PayPal account, not at original source and that sucks - it is a hidden charge for around 3% for cashing. I've heard that recently code unlockers offer cable unlocking too, so maybe mobileincanada would be cheaper option for you. And before you try to sell it, monitor prices for some time - it can be financially unreasonable since this market is pretty volatile and you would be able to lower your loss only and unlocked one can be more effective option. It is always easier to buy, than to sell.

Better be specific why you need cable - they can have a non-cable solution for counter reset. For other options take a look at relatively fresh threads with personal experience and other useful information - AT&T X10a Unlocked - post #10 (code - it is PayPal link, but you can ask Lancez for more info) and [Q] AT&T X10a carrier unlock - post #34 (cable). But I was sure you already read those threads.

He wrote recently: "I got this phone from someone else." I don't think it worth to buy a code to be sure that it doesn't work. I don't know how behaves the phone with no more attempts for a code. As I understand, this service menu shows that it is time to reset counter or go to cable. Maybe your friend has cable option too. The more options, the less prices. Otherwise - Sweden GSM... Or HTCcode - it used to be a good service too, but when servers were down, he didn't show up that anger his customers, so I can not advice him without any risk.

actually there is a code for counter reset, it's called "unfreeze code". apperently, the server is not down, they just can't access it anymore. because i just got 2 more happy customers last night
Hi, a similar thing happened to me when I first got my x10 (I didn't try to unlock it, just use the sim from my old phone) and it asked me for the network unlock code. Tried couple of times,then it got locked. So I paid 10 bucks, got a new sim card from Rogers and then everything worked fine
Not sure if it helps...

So in his case currently he has one cable option, right? I don't think, the trick with a new SIM card will work - I remember something like this happened with first iPnones - they didn't recognized old ATT SIM as genuine. If the SIM is relatively new, it is the phone counter issue.

It still works with Rogers sim cards. From what I figured out now that it cannot be unlocked using unlock code method anymore. I checked HTCCode and they seems to provide cable unlock code for $50/. But in its forum seems to have many unhappy customers. Some has not even got their refund from PayPal.
I just listed the phone on eBay. Lets see how it goes. Thanks much for your time for trying to help me .

[Q] Rose S740 - unlock impossible?

Hi devs,
First: If there might be a better section for this, please move it there.
I bought a sim-locked Rose S740 with cracked screen-glass for a rly small price.
At first, I flashed a WM 6.5 ROM with HSPL, everything was fine.
Next step should be the unlocking, I googled, of course, but there was no free way.
So I bought a code from eBay, got the unlock code the next day, entered it into the Rose -> wrong code.
I contacted the seller, providing my IMEI again, of course I did not type it wrong at first. He answered me, that he checked it several times, and this is the code he generated with his box. He also asked a friend of his, another unlocker, who got the same code, when he tried my IMEI.
Nothing worked, got my money back.
Then I tried another seller, but exactly the same as above happend.
So, what can I do to unlock this phone?
The serial under the battery is the same as the one I get when I enter *#06#.
It comes from Austrian provider A1.
I approve every reply.
This seems to be a problem with more and more devices nowadays. Do you have the ability to call the original service provider and request the unlock code?
there is a software called MXKEY (not free unfortunately) were you can add a free plugin called "HTC unlocker"... that's the only way I know appart from calling your service provider.
Of course I can call the austrian service provider. And I am sure he gives me the code, when I pay 100€.
In Germany, it is law, to get the unlock-code 4free after 2 years, but as far as I know thats only here.
How much is this MXKEY-software?

I have asked long time ago and as they told me it doesn't worth buying MXKEY just to unlock the phone...they told me I'd better just pay for a unlocking code..

Carrier Unlocking The Galaxy Note SGH-i717

HI, I just wanting to throw something out there...I was looking at some different sites about unlocking the galaxy note...and I was also checking the reviews for the sites too(can never be too careful).. and I ended up picking cellunlock.net and going with that one...the unlock was 39.99 but after using the promo code I searched in google (android50) it brought it to 19.99..well while I was waitng on the unlock email I stuck my sim card from tmobile usa in there and come to find out it was already unlocked...well I still got a unlock code in my email about 12 hours later but never tried it cuz there was no reason too...well since then I got a new note ( a white one).. and it was not already unlocked...believe I checked haha...but I checked reviews again and there were several saying that the never got a code..and several saying that the codes they sent were fake...but I really needed the note unlocked and at&T wasn't helping..so I went for it anyway...I got the unlock code in my email about 28 hours later and I tried it and it luckily worked!...now that was about 4 hours out of the time frame that they gave me...but it worked...so I just thought Idf let people know my experience...but try at your own risk! :laugh:
at&t has been giving out the unlock codes for free.
I dunno if the sale is still on, but I got my code from unlockthatphone.com for about $14.
I talked to AT&T international care on the website and they gave me the unlock code in 2 minutes without a problem

yeah that's where I almost always get them from...but this one they wouldn't give me...something about people abusing the right to get the codes or something like that..but hey..what the heck..i don't mind paying 20 for an unlock code
I called 611 from my cell today and asked for the unlock code and they gave it to no questions asked... well other than my imei and if I had any other questions.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
You weren't kidding. Called and said I wanted to use the phone overseas and gave them the imei number and a minute later she had the unlock code for me. Nice!!
Same for me - I got the unlock code straightaway on a web chat with AT&T. The site says something about a limit on the number of unlocks one can obtain on an account, I think it was something like 5 per year.
I don't see why they would give you a hard time unless you're unlocking a bunch of phones on your account.
Same for me, I used the AT&T International Support web chat and they gave me the code right away. Too bad you need a non-AT&T SIM to actually use it.

That is the point of unlocking a phone -- to use another carrier's sim card. Otherwise, why unlock?

For me? Higher resale value. All other phones I've unlocked didn't require a SIM at all to do this.

Received a Working Sim Unlock Code from at&t!

Been following this story for a while about how it seems like no online unlock service has been able to unlock the att lumia 920. I have also seen that multiple people it seems were given codes from at&t that would not work. Well last week I submitted an unlock request for my lumia 920 through at&t over the phone and today I received an email that had the 20 digit code. So I put an old T-Mobile sim in the phone, turned it on, entered the code, and it said pin accepted! This confirms that at&t is at least able to issue correct unlock codes but it doesn't explain why some work and some don't. (As far as I can find I'm the first one to actually get a working code)
For everyone who is still waiting for an unlock it is worth a shot to give them a call. If they say they won't unlock it due to the exclusivity deal, ask for a supervisor who can put the unlock request through.

Do you have to be an AT&T customer for that? I tried calling them and even speaking with the supervisor, with no luck, supervisor was even more insisting about the exclusive deal and no unlock till May.

I'd assume you won't have much luck if you aren't a current att customer. The supervisor who put in the unlock request told me that they can submit an unlock request for any phone except the iPhone which has to be out of contract to be unlocked. My lumia is under contract but I've also been with att for at least 7 years.
1 hour of battling. 1 agent escalated to sup, no result. Another agent and another escalation, no results for me.

Same fore me - no real battling though and "only" 30 mins on the phone for nothing. Agent also spoke with supervisor. June was what they told me (so much for "it's the same for all Lumia 920s, not just your device..."). And, of course, they even don't have the codes yet.
Idk why they won't budge for you guys, the only thing I can say is keep trying until you get an agent who will submit the unlock request for it.

Will do. I tried to gently push him to still submit a request, even though it fails, so that I had something in return (if it is just the negative reply from the unlock team) to follow up with. However, he would not submit the request because it would be the same result as he is telling me - no code available for my IMEI yet.
I'm currently very busy at work so I can't spend 30-60mins each day chatting with AT&T. Will try in a week or two.
BTW, I guess you being a long-time AT&T customer could have also been influential. I am a 2-day customer because I cancelled service again due to bad voice quality at my work location. However, paying the ETF, I fulfilled my contractual obligations so I'm only asking AT&T to fulfill theirs (3.1 of the Wireless Customer Agreement)...

However, paying the ETF, I fulfilled my contractual obligations so I'm only asking AT&T to fulfill theirs (3.1 of the Wireless Customer Agreement)...

Yeah my lumia is under contract but yes I have also been a customer for at least 7 years. The problem is there is no standardization with these unlock requests so it seems like it's just the luck of the draw of who you talk to... I'd be really surprised if you got a denial email, it seems like the difficult part is just getting the agent to submit the unlock request...

I in same boat as Dullerm, just tried 3 times with no movement to escilate to receive unlock code. Urrrgggg. Wish I didn't rush into this phone, and bought it in Canada. They are telling me in May the code will be released.

sure, I'll play...
It's the standard exclusive device wait for 6 months after release rule on AT&T for contract phones. Dunno about other carriers.
So whenever you bought it, plus 6 months, you can sim unlock it.

Apparently there is no way at all to unlock currently except thru ATT. I guess that is harder than I expected b/c it seems no one in this thread has been able to get an unlock code. It just depends on the CSR you get on the phone, I got them to unlock it on my first call to them so I guess I just got very lucky.
guys, I'm from Ukraine
please tell me. Can I write to at & t email?
What information do I need to write that would have been any result ..?
and in advance sorry for my spelling mistakes))
I called them back in Dec 2012 and got the unlock code from at&t; however the code only 11 digit and will not work.
Does anyone know or could confirm how digit the code should be?
Also, does it have to be a T-Mobile chip or any GSM chip will work?

Unfortunately, there seem to be very few people who managed to get an unlock code from AT&T, and most of them were long-term AT&T customers. If you are not a customer, neither phone nor e-mail support is likely to get you anything meaningful. We'll just have to wait and hope that codes will leak out to 3rd parties earlier than next May.

we just have a little different situation.
I read a lot of reviews of people saying who unblocked the technique in support just that they bought on ebay, and the seller told them that it is unlocked.
simply put, they pressed on pity!
and it worked! but now I do not know if it will work so ...

should be 20 digit code and any none att sim should work
entering the unlock code
for those who tried the 20 digit code for the lumia 920. try this. i had that problem with my lumia 900 from at&t i got the code and entered it and it would not accept the code. i had to use all ten tries and then it asked me to enter MY PUK code. i then entered the exact same unlock code as the PUK code and it unlocked the nokia lumia 900. my theory was that i never activated the phone with an at&t sim card i just bough it and popped in my foreign sim. i tried it with multiple unactivated nokia lumia 900s from at&t and it work. so if you bought a lumia 920 but didn't activate it with an at&t sim card this may be the reason the unlock code didn't work, you can either activate the phone with an at&t sim or try this process that i've used.

Why on earth would you PAY to get something off some (shady?) site that you can get for FREE through official means
Like I just posted in another thread:
Nimueh said:
Just request it via email from any Honor Support site, Germany for instance sends them out. All they need is your IMEI and S/N
The email for the German support site: [email protected]
You should be able to write it in English, if you want to be on the safe side you can simply run it through Google translate and paste the German translation into your email too :fingers-crossed:

The code number sent by Huawei staff is another number.
If you try to use a code number, you will get an error that your password is different.
I gave him money and his code number is recognize.
He gave me the correct code number to find.
Code numbers sent by Huawei employees and code numbers received using money are different.

That's BS, sorry.
The official codes sent by Huawei employees are the proper codes to unlock your bootloader. I have unlocked mine just fine with the code I received from Huawei/Honor support and so have countless others.
I have no idea which codes you get from that other site after paying - of course they might work. But the PROPER way is to go through Huawei ... and most importantly: It's FREE!

I know that the code numbers supported by the official site are free.
But the product I bought is not recognizable.
The cause is unknown, but it is a rebranded product.
I think I do not seem to be able to recognize it on the rebranded device.
bkl-al20 device ㅡ> bkl-l09 rom
If I do not use money, I will not be able to unlock it forever.
The reason is that the code number given by Huawei staff is different.
The code number is not recognized on my device.

No idea what you bought then, but for any NORMAL Huawei/Honor product the official free codes work just fine.
So please don't confuse users by saying they don't - you're a special case and everybody else will do just fine without paying money and letting a total stranger get full access to their computer (which btw I would NEVER do and neither should anybody else!).

I understand that there is an exceptional error on my device.
There may be people who have had the same problem.
I want to let inform them know.
