Hi,
I just bought a Sony Xperia X10 (orange phone). I am trying to get the phone to work on Vodafone Ireland.
I got the unlocking codes on a site. tried them the phone seemed to unlock.
When I power the device up it asks me to enter my pin as normal. Then I am propmted to enter a Network unlock pin. I have tried entering the Unlock code, my PIN, my unblock code. It keeps telling me that pin is wrong & for me to contact my network operator.
When using an orange SIM, phone works ok.
I presumed that the unlock code was wrong so I went to a shop to get the unlock code & they supplied me with code I got over the net.
Any one have this problem, or now to resolve it. I have all providers and repsonse are as follows:
Orange: You are not existing customer.... Cant help you
Vodafone Ireland: Contact orange or go to a shop to get it unlocked.
Internet site: Still awaiting reply
Any one got any ideas or solutions.
Thanks
what is the exact message that you get when you enter the unlocking code:
1- Wrong Code
Or
2- Sim Locked, Contact Opertor.
??!
If the phone tells you to contact the operator it means that the wrong unlock code was entered for more than 5 times... so maybe the guy you bought it from entered some unlock codes for fun?
The phone is now blocked and the right unlock code won't help you anymore... I have the same problem and as far as I know the only possibility is to go to the operator who locked the phone, in your case Orange. I'm sure they will help you, but they won't do it for free of course
same problem here but i buy from AT&T any unlocker avelable please help
Call att. I have never had a problem with them telling me the correct way to reset the phone for free and get the pulk code. I have read other posts that if you've had the phone for six months they will tell you the unlock code.

Hi,
SIM Unlocking is handled in Odia's SIM Unlock thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064978
The easiest way is to use Chainfire's "Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock" app.
You can use the following code to check if your device is locked:
*#7465625#
In my case it had only the first "network" lock.
Unfortunately the "Unlock" code provided by the app did not work and the message was "unsuccessful".
Thus I have put the "Unfreeze" code and the message was "unsuccessful" too.
Finally I have put the "Unlock" code again and now the message was "successful".
It looks like some carriers "freeze" their device beforehand, so that "Unfreeze" and "Unlock" codes are necessary.
Happy unlocking.
if you can get the unlock and unfreeze codes THIS WORKS A TREAT
THANKS Im now free of O2
what the heck this method worked for me.. and its O2 i mean it was locked to O2 and i brought it in sweden it gave me unlock code and unfreeze code i tried unlock code like twice without avail and after i used unfreeze code (unsuccessful) i tried unlock code again (unsuccessful) but its unlocked.. now i am confused why did it said unsuccessful but its unlocked .. well why should i whine it worked so you're looking at a happy dude cheers

Only if you have sfs backup from before you blocked the PIN. You need to restore,
and then enter the valid PIN you got.

Hi,
I just been told in another forum that some networks provide PUK codes from
Nokia database. Maybe you can call the guys who sold you the PIN and ask for
PUK instead, not sure if it will work.

Hello
I purchased a brand new Samsung Galaxy Alpha Direct from Vodafone UK. My sim is under Orange/EE.
I purchased a NUC code from an unlocking vendor online. I entered the correct IMEI number as requested and received the code a few days later. I entered the code and received a message saying "Network request unlock unsuccessful."
Went through troubleshooting with the vendor and could not get it working. A refund was given.
I decided to Vodafone UK to have the phone unlocked direct through them as I thought maybe a dodgy code was given. I received my code yesterday, followed the instructions and again the same message appears.
I was growing tired with this so decided to take it to an independent experienced phone unlocker/repairer and explained the situation to him. I give him the code and he tried various different things and was baffled as this should be an easy process.
The phone is running android 4.4.4
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have a phone here I cannot use :crying:
Thanks in advance!

I just unlocked note 4 from Vodafone. I got 4 unlock codes. One is for sim and the other 3 for aomesthing more deeper in the sistem Just worked with the sim unlock code. My question for you is: if you tryed 2 different ( online and Vodafone) YOU SHOULD GOT THE SAME CODE FOR SIM UNLOCK because is strictly related to your IMEI. Is that the case?
P.S. 1.On Google play is a program Note 4 unlock. I got my unlock code in 50 minutes in the day of international launch of note 4. You should try that.
2. Write with Odin a stock firmware and try again your unlock code after that
3. To enter your unlock code you have to insert an non accepted sim in your phone, power up your phone and enter the code when you are asked. Did you do that?
Try this

If your phone does not ask for the unlock code:
1. Turn on the phone with original Sim card or without Sim card
2. Enter #7465625*638*NCK/Network#
The phone is now unlocked.
If your phone does not ask for the unlock code:
1. Turn on the phone with a foreign (Unaccepted) Sim card
2. Then enter the following sequence:
#0199*Unfreeze/Defreeze#
#0111*NCK/Network#
#0121*SCK/Subprovider#
#0133*SPCK/Provider#
The phone is now unlocked.

Yes where to enter these codes and letters? I tried entering the numbers and nothing happens, if I try to press call it says Mobile network not available.
Hi guys. I have a Huawei M2. It's dialer locked but not network locked (tried 2 diff SIMs).
Most people will slot in a SIM and it prompts the unlock code. Mine doesn't do that. I have the unlock code. But I don't know where to enter it :S
