Hello,
I'm hoping someone might know the answer as this is the first i've encountered such an issue.
Bought Galaxy S2 from Canada BELL carrier. got the phone unlocked previously. been flashing different ROM and update and is using XWLPM 4.0.4 ICS.
everything was working fine till about yesterday where a "Network Lock Control Key" popped up preventing me from accessing my SIM card. I do not believe my SIM is locked as i tested the SIM to another phone and it works fine without any security password.
somehow my phone is not locked again and i tried all the different unlocked method in the Playstore and nothing worked. it almost as seems the phone re-locked itself somehow.
my question is, is there a way to find out what network the phone is locked to so if i decide to purchase a unlock code, i know that it will work properly?
Appreciate any feedback or suggestions, as i need my phone desperate.!!! :crying:
Version 4.0.4
using Stock XWLPM Kernel (rooted)
Build XWLPM
Baseband using LD3 baseband = UGLD3 <-- Bell Carrier Modem Baseband.
Thanks
Why create another thread ? You've got a related open thread a couple of posts down you could have continued to use (changed the OP & title).
my bad ,total noob move.. i felt that it was a different question so i created another post. i can delete but not sure how!! any direction would be appreciated.
Use older thread. Locked
First of all, I'm from China, my English is not very well, maybe you can't understand what I'm saying. I'm so sorry to my college English teacher that I haven't learn hard in his class.
Now let's entering the title：
I have a SAMSUNG Exhilarate(SGH-I577 AT&T) which my sister bring back from NewYork, and I want it to use my Chinamobile SIM card, and there comes the problem. When I insert my Chinamobile SIM card into the phone, it needs me to input "sim network unlock pin" ,but I don't have this number.
First what I'm thinking is to flash a rom, but this phone model doesn't released in China, I've been searched for 2 days, and finally find it's rom in this forum, I've downloaded two roms

I've been successfully flashing both of them, but when I insert my Chinamobile SIM card, it all needs to input "sim network unlock pin" :crying:
I searched whole day to find a way to unlock this, I've tried Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool, it doesn't work. Someone said there is a nv_data.bin file in the system, but I haven't found it even by using ReExplorer. Then I find Samsung tool and installed in my computer, but it doesn't work, does this software need to purchase?
So anybody call tell me how to unlock my phone, Is there any expert, proficient, mybe god can help me, Can someone give me a detailed description how to do this,
you can reply to this thread or send me an email:[email protected]
I'll give you my best regard.

My father always says that I keep learning from the forums and I never write anything. Well now something discovered by me. At least I believe so after browsing Internet for several hours.
I read the above recomendation of "kew1701" about flashing a modem of the t989 to the i577, and I thought: That will probably brick my i577 because the i577 is LTE and the t989 don't. It worked for the t769 because the t769 is not LTE either. And both the t989 and the t769 are for T-Mobile.
So I decided to give the try on my i577 with the modem I use to unlock the i727, the UCLD2. I assured my i577 was on ICS 4.0.4 and installed the modem with TWRP.
I originally downloaded that modem from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029650
(I thank that thread).
Followed the *#197328640# steps and it worked like a charm! Unlocked!. IMEI intact and all working. Now probably will flash back a i577 stock firmware, if I find it.
(My phone was on 4.0.4 UCLH3)
Enjoy.
Nice

Hi all
I am newbie to the android world, i was gifted an at&t. S4 i337 model for new year. It was purchased as an unlocked device so it can work in india, but it wasnt,when i load my indian sim ,s4 always prompts with simunlock code.
I read lot of the xda thread to overcome this , intially s4 was in 4.2.2 MF3 build, i was able to root the device but i wasnt able to unlock for international band. So i updated to 4.3 using the thread "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573080" since most of the reviews had positive feedback for unlocking. My software version got updated to 4.3 mk2 build But to my notice after this s4 loads with custom unlocked padlock symbol and rooting dosent work, it always fails when i run the supersu app in disabling knox step.
I followed every step as it said in the thread ,but failed every single time, the thread says it will work only with stock rom, since it boots with custom is this the reason for failure. How can i recover from this. Ur help will be appreciated, i have my s4 unused for past 1 month because of this.
Thanks
I've searched everyhwere for a solution. A friend game me a samsung galaxy s2 LTE from Rogers and I put a SIM from another provider and it won't recognize, as well a Unlock Password screen does open when I turn on the phone. I rooted the phone to try to use some of the apps in the store but non of them worked... I get errors like BusyBox problems and errors.......
If anyone knows how to unlock this at all... im not very good with the Android OS and know its possible to unlock it
thanks alot and apologize if this isn't the correct section to post too.
Hey guys,
I've been trying to unlock my phone for a few days now. Long story short, I moved from Canada to Japan and now I want to unlock my S3 to use a Japanese SIM.
I bought an unlock code from eBay. I was previous running cyanogenmod but then I was told that rooting will cause issues, so I unrooted my phone after an unsuccessful SIM unlock attempt. (wiped the phone, installed stock TW)
Even after unrooting I still had issues, and was given directions for the Service mode. That did not work either. I have tried many different methods and troubleshooting tips and nothing seems to have worked.
Here are some screenshots of the debug mode, my phone details, and a simple root checker app I installed.

Thanks for reading, and I really hope someone can help ;_;

My first thoughts are that since its from ebay it might not be a real unlock code.
I have had a lot of difficulty unlocking my GS3, as well. I actually got the codes from ATT, my carrier. I've tried 4 times, each unsuccessful. It says that after 5 failed attempts, the phone is forever locked to ATT, so I'm afraid to try that last 5th time. I was wondering if you could root, and then unlock more reliably. Is that possible?
Root makes no difference, you probably don't have an i9300 if you are on ATT.
