IF I figure out how to do it, you will be the first to know. I'm going to try to install a custom ROM and see if I can get it to pop up and prompt me for a unlock code.

Almost every phone I've dealt with requires that you are on the stock rom to unlock the sim. Sure it's the same with the G5.

Hey Guys,
Hopefully someone can help me out since I can't seem to find answers anywhere to my problem. I got an unlock code from T-Mobile but when I put a foreign sim into the phone is says "invalid sim, 0 attempts remain". I got the phone on craigslist so I'm guessing whoever had it before me tried unlocking it with the wrong code too many times. I have the right code now, how do I reset the attempts? I can't believe that the phone is hard locked and there isn't anything I can do about it. It's pretty frustrating so any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!!!
really???? no one knows anything about this issue?
So people here know how to put different operating systems on phones but no one knows if it is possible to reset the sim unlock counter?????
the phone is hard locked and (certainly in most cases) can now only be unlocked by using a hardware unlocker. (for most phones, you get three attempts via the keypad, and a further 10 via a hardware connection normally.)
thanks for the reply! what exactly does hardware unlocking mean? would i still need to use the code given to me by t-mobile?
speak to a phone shop (or better yet speak to t mobile first)
have you tried to restore the phone to factory(not a hard reset). I would try going to Tmobiles website and try to update the rom...

^is for US phones I just did mine today because the guy that put android on it removed the unlock screen and I was unable to unlock the phone. And no one on here was able to answer any questions for me so don't feel bad.
Got it unlocked last night! turns out the sim card i was using was locked. i tried a different one and it let me key in the code. thanks for all the help!
now that the phone is unlocked would doing a hard reset lock it back up?

good stuff. No, flashing / hard resets will not ever lock the phone now.
The phone has made random calls, started programs and sent messages all from my front pocket, so i put a pass code to lock my phone... Everytime i put the password in the unlock button does not highlight. I know the 4 digit password and it just will not unlock my phone.
Sometimes it will take me to a prompt menu asking me to input a1b2c3... not sure what i should do or how to fix this problem??
Can anyone PLEEAASE help me?
I tried flashing a diff ROM but it doesnt work.
-Thanks
sorry
sorry for being so impatient. i did a little more research and figured out that i needed to just simply do a hard reset. plz shut this thread down thanks
How can you flash a new rom without hard resetting your phone?

1st thing is there anyway you can point me in the direction to download the original firmware because i really need it to unlock my optimus t.
2nd is there anyway to unlock the phone without putting in another sim and putting in the code or typing in 2945*#509# then type in the code.
because I have realize that you need service and I am not in the US
please and thank you in advice
When I was unlocking mine, I had to turn off airplane mode because it wouldn't work otherwise. Make of it what you will.

I'm having the same problem with my phone. It was unlocked only for 1 provider. After inserting many times unlock codes with no success... now it asks for unlock code for all providers. I tried factory reset, still nothing helps. I get a message of unsuccessful unlock.
Same here... Seems no one can solve this major problem :/. I've tried full reset, even flashing another rom, and flashing with quick upgrade and no solution..

Ok so ive been googeling my ass off, and getting scammed left and right to get a free unlock code for a ot991....
Then i looked at the provider nr on the sticker behind the battery...
There are the letters KPN in between the code(is a dutch provider), so i found the sim unlock sevice they provide...
Filled in a form and got my unlock code right away.
So find out the provider and the rest is easy...
hope it helps peeps with the same prob
I can unlock it for 15$. I can even repair "No service" on ot-990. PM me if you need this service
i have searched and have yet to find anything, no unlock websites cover this phone so far, anything you guys know i dont , i am rooted via towel root ......virgin mobile btw

I researched a lot about this issue and sent plenty of emails to unlocking site and only this one unlockcode4u.com reply to me the following:
Quote:
"Unless your phone prompts for the unlock code when powered on with a non-accepted SIM card, there is no known way to enter the unlock code in the phone."
I also found out that if your LG phone IMEI begins by 99000, the phone won't ask for the unlocking code in most cases, even if you enter the common LG sequence (2945#*740#)
I tried a local unlocking shop too and they could not help me neither.
This is quite frustrating
Any help would be appreciate
