I recently bought this amazing phone on ebay(H901), and I'm trying to sim unlock it, the phone is not blacklisted, or financed, but It cannot be unlocked since its not in T-mobile database(even when it is branded tmobile phone with all the tmobile bloated apps), since T-mobile or LG cannot unlock it I was looking for a Root-unlocking solution for this since I dont want to start the process of returning the phone at this time of the year and I already paid for my country customs fees to get the phone here.
Is there any way to sim unlock the LG h901 using root mods? may rooting and deleting t-mobile unlock device app do the job?
Thanks, I will appreciate your answers
Do you have some Solution??

No I haven't find a solution to it, I'm currently living in Japan, and I'm using this piece of art as a media player only because I can't get it unlocked online nor a tmobile sim card to use it.

Well,
Sort of a noob question, but since I dont know how easy or hard could it be.
If I buy a SGS-II with a service plan in UK (Orange, Voda etc), then can it be unlocked to be used in other countries or other operators.
I know maybe it has got something to do with the gaining the root access to the handset or even a root access achieve the desired.
Thanks for suggestions.

It's got nothing to do with root and everything to do with the carrier, some will deliver locked phones, some unlocked.. most usually contract phones are unlocked and PAYG phones are locked
I'm on O2 contract and the phones I've had have always been unlocked, but I've heard Orange do network lock their phone
Orange do always lock their phones but if you get it from an independent seller like the Carphone Warehouse or Phones4u the chances are it'll be unlocked.
Most networks will unlock your phone for a small fee (I think I paid £25 on Orange) but it's only a matter of time before sellers on eBay popup that will sell you an unlock code based on your IMEI.
You're right that you could unlock handsets with root access but that involved flashing another radio. Since no locked SGS2's have been released yet you're safe buying now and the phone hasn't been rooted so you may be waiting a while for that option if you get a locked handset in the future.
You could always use a Rebel SimCard. Its not the perfect solution but it works.
So we just have to wait basically. O2 are offering it for 399£ apparently on payg. It would be awesome to get it for that price and then unlock it.

Last year, o2 were selling the SGS1 on PAYG. I think the handsets were supposed to be locked but they weren't. If you're in luck then maybe same is true for SGS2. I've pulled the trigger on the SGS2 with contract from o2 as total cost works out cheaper that any PAYG or sim free offer currently available.

Does orange still exist over there?
Three took over Orange over here in Australia years ago
On three if you call them up they give you the unlock code for free
I asked a popular online unlocking firm what the likelihood of the SGS2 being unlocked was and this was his reply:
Hi Aaron,
This should be no problem at all. That's because there's one main database for all European Samsung Android handsets. We have unlocked the Samsung Galaxy S from all 6 main UK networks.

Are you going to use them to unlock? When can they do it? & who are they?

I will ask them to unlock if my SGS2 arrives locked. I found them doing a quick google search. I am not sure I am allowed to post links so mods please remove if that is the case. http://www.mobileunlocked.co.uk/
There are many more if you do a google search.
So I may be able to use my girlfriends mothers upgrade to get a gs2 from Vodafone, but I want to use the phone on my O2 account. I know I can unlock the phone easy enough if I root it, but I don't want to deal with some of the issues I keep reading about with rooting this phone. Is there a way to unlock the phone without rooting it. I unlocked my infuse4g from AT&T with one of the paid sites and I don't mind doing that again. I just was curious if I could get an unlock code for free somewhere or somehow before paying one of those sites. Thanks.
Every google search I've done turns up the same gs2 unlock app in the market.
Unlocking a Galaxy s2 phone is easy, period.
Besides that, I'm not sure if it has Sim-lock. Mine runs on an o2-Germany contract and I use an Aldi-card ;-) .

I know sim unlock is easy if I root it. I just don't think I need to root. It already does everything I need it to. The only reason I rooted my last phone was to freeze the app blocking me from tethering. The gs2 does everything I need. I was looking for a way around rooting to unlock it. If you know a way without root and without having to use one of those paid sites I love to hear it.
If anyone has a gs2 from Vodafone Germany and has access to an o2 Germany sim would like to see if it is in fact sim unlocked, I would really appreciate it.
I recently bought a V10 via a friend in New York from ebay. The phone is locked to tmobile but i thought it can't be that hard to unlock for my UK EE sim,wrong.
I put in my sim and used the 'unlock' app,but it failed to work so i called tmobile in the U.S but was told they can only unlock the phone to the original purchaser!!!!!!! and it seems tmobile phones won't unlock with a code either.
Im tearing my hair out here. such a lovely phone and great camera,was so excited to get it and now im stuck.
Any help much appreciated.
if the phone exists in the t-mobile database(check here: http://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx), then you should at least be able to use a paid service, which would force the device to be eligible to use the unlock app.
If your IMEI is eligible you can use this service from UnlockRadar:

Read carefully the instructions.
Hello, I buy a lg V10 H901 on ebay I use it for several months without any worries I live in France so I used the temporary unlocking of the application "device unlock" but since yesterday impossible to use it the temporary unlocking no longer works and thus the phone and block I am therefore not t-mobile client is there a software way to unlock it?
??
No solution for unlocking ?
No there is no known method other than using the app. You may be able to purchase an unlock and seller would submit your imei for processing on Tmobile server I would assume.

Have you tired googling it? From what i know once its paid off fully you can request a sim unlock from tmobile.
a lot of site offers deblocking but are they reliable? I can not pay on t-mobile because I live in France and buy on ebay HK

Yeah I mean usually those services are pretty cheap like 30 or lower to remote unlock the phone. Worth a shot just look for reviews of those sites first too.
Hello guys.
I bought an LG G8X with a broken screen and back for $ 40. I repaired it by myself. It turned out to be FRP locked, but I solved this problem.
The second problem is the simlock on this phone. It is currently locked to AT&T USA network. I tried unlocking it on the official AT&T website, but without luck. They told me that "The device you want to unlock is active on another AT&T account".
What should i do?
I was thinking about buying unlocking code on one of the websites dealing with this. Is it good idea? Do you know which website is good with such case?
Thank you in advance for helping me

Good day guys, just to let you know that in Movical they were able to unlock the G8X from At&t, mine has financed status but with clean IMEI and when I tried on EBAY and other unlocking sites they told me that the code was not found in their database but at last in Movical they were able to do it, they use the remote method to unlock it

Perhaps after a hard reset or firmware, the sim lock will return, but I will not say for sure.
