Been trying to get this sorted for my kid, any help is appreciated as it was a bday gift and its been early 3 weeks
used tmob G530-T
rooted
RR ROM / Nougat [ROM][7.1.2_r17]Resurrection Remix-N 5.8.3 For Grand Prime[OFFICIAL][G530H-W-T-T1-FZ]
unlocked via doctorSIM (accepts code)
testing w my ATT sim
2 issues.
1. on every reboot prompts for sim unlock code via generic dialog box
2. no cellular service - via chat ATT activated the existing SIM w IMEI of new phone and existing sim. Went to APN area in settings and tried to manually enter ATT settings but after save said 'customization not available for this user'. Have not tried the Wifi first trick but I can enter a new APN but settings does not stick.
Assume the sim setting would be auto configured. using the select network provider it cannot activate on ATT (my ATT sim on a work account)
try a different rom or the unlock code is bad?
TIA
anyone?

Hi,
I am having a Samsung P7500 Galaxy tab,
I had sent it overseas with my wife, bu before that I called my service provider and get the Sim unlocking code, then I tried with different Sim and it was asking code we enter and it was all good. she took it overseas and enter local Sim, it was working fine, then move to different city use there local Sim, working fine but when she tried to enter different Sim again, it was asking for Sim unlocking code again,
she has enter too many codes before calling me, like 00000 then 12345, so and so, when she called me and I had given the code which I was having from service provider, she entered and getting message that network unlocking is unsuccessful.
Now what????? If my tab is permanently locked, or is there any option....
if rooting is solution, or something els.
I tried to Google it, but nothing found about it.
Thanks.

I am still waiting for answer guys, its 3 days now....
any way some one suggest me that its PUK locked, get the PUK code from service provider....
I have a question the same sim card when I am entering in different mobile its working fine, in tab its showing network pin unsuccessful. i can see the main screen of tab. the only problem is there is no network. can anyone figure what the problem can be...???
The sim is working ok in an other phone? That means it is not locked and should work normally in your tablet if you enter the correct code. Obviously it is not..
You could try a factory reset:
- hold down left volume button while booting
- in menu press left volume button again to select recovery menu
- right volume button to enter recovery
- select wipe data/factory reset
- reboot

Obtained Atrix 4G code from AT&T
-> Tried it on the stock AT&T ROM, did not work [BUT, my AT&T SIM was inserted and working fine]
-> Tried it a few more times, no success
- Upgraded to CM9 ICS
-> My bloody own AT&T SIM does not work!? Asks for a SIM unlock code
-> Tried entering the code a few times, no success
- Followed this procedure
-> No success
- Strange issue
-> AT&T SIM works just fine on Bell Radio versions! (wtf?!
-> Does not even prompt for an unlock code on Bell Radio
-> When I flash AT&T Radio back on, same problem - asking for SIM Unlock and no success
- Real Problem
-> Since I'm running on a non-AT&T Radio, signal sucks, and data sucks, and I keep losing APN settings everytime the phone goes to sleep
- Any help please? I need to run AT&T Radio because Bell Radio has a lot of Data connectivity issues.

SIM unlock code is different from Network unlock code. So check if it is asking for unlocking the SIM with a 4-digit pin code or it is Network unlock. If it is network unlock have u by any chance crossed the maximum number of allowed attempts.

Sorry, Network Unlock. Yes, I've easily gone over the 10 limit, but I believed that was a non-issue based on this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356121)
Also the issue of AT&T SIM working fine on Bell Canada Radio and none else. Even on Bell Canada Radio, whenever I turn the phone back on from sleep, it prompts me for a Network Unlock Code - yet if I just Dismiss the dialogue box, it works just fine.
Hello all,
It has been awhile since I've been on here. I apologize if I am posting in the wrong section (this forum has changed so much over the years).
Anyways, I am currently a T-Mo customer and just got a Metro PCS Samsung Galaxy SGH-M819N because I thought I could simply flash a rom that would allow me to use T-Mobile sim card. However, it turns out that it may not be that simple.
Can someone advise whether or not I am able to unlock the sim (without paying it through sites such cellunlocker.net) via flash? If so, would you be kind to direct me to the site or page which gives directions?
Thanks,

oK, i paid
4update:
I am ended buying an unlock code via eBay for $14.99. I enter the code and the phone no longer asks for SIM unlock code BUT now it does not register with any carriers.
i inserted my t-mo sim card into the phone, go to settings, and tried to automatically and manually connect to the tmobile network but keep getting the "unable to connect at this time. try again later" message.
i contacted tmobile via chat and provided imei number and sim card number but was still unable to connect.
i flash backed to stock firmware 4.4.4 and still no luck.
i checked my "device info" and under "phone status" it shows my phone number assigned to the sim card but not connecting to service provider.
Any ideas anyone? Please help.

I am able to connect with the stock Metro PCS apn.
I am also able to use TMO apn as well.
Make sure the apn is correct.
Go to more networks and then mobile network.
Hi All,
I'm at a loss, would be tremendously grateful if anyone could help me save my galaxy:
- My phone is an 850F, purchased sim-free from Carphone Warehouse in the UK. It is rooted.
- Recently I inserted a new sim card. The phone worked perfectly well for a week.
- Upon rebooting yesterday, the phone awoke to a message stating the sim was locked and prompted me to enter a code.
- The phone could no longer utilise the network.
To troubleshoot:
a. I inserted the sim in another phone - the sim worked fine in this other phone.
b. I tried 2 other sims for different countries in my 850F (O2 UK, T-Mobile US) - both of these sims seemed to work fine.
c. I tried a friend's sim in my phone (on the same network as my problematic sim) - it also didn't work.
d. I contacted the network of the new sim, they suggested I try 2 different 4 digit unlock codes - both failed.
e. I received a new sim from the same network - using it presents the same error message and prompt to unlock the sim.
f. Finally I wiped the phone, re-rooted and installed a new rom (Cyanogen 12).
- This has not solved the problem. In Cyanogen I receive the message: "Phone is Perso Locked". Again I am prompted to enter a code.
Thanks for reading, any help or suggestions would be immense!
Cheers,
Tal
Hi all,
I have a Huawei Mate 2 from Freedom (Wind) Mobile. I have updated it to Lollipop 5.1 by unlocking the bootloader. In fact I made a guide for it a while back.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/general/guide-step-step-wind-mobile-canada-t3387490
Recently in Canada the cellular service providers are forced by law to give us an unlock code for free. After unlocking the phone would work with any service provider. This phone has a pretty big battery and would be ideal for a travel or backup phone.
I successfully got an unlock code from Freedom (which was pretty easy). I then put in sim cards from another provider (Koodo, Fido, etc). However the screen for me to enter the unlock code never popped up. It just say "no service".
I tried to manually set it up, by clicking the notification. "No Service: Selected network (Telus 3G) unavailable". However it won't register. Neither did the unlock code entering screen ever pop up.
And under data settings it say no SIM card. However the phone works perfectly when I insert my Freedom SIM card. But when a foreign SIM card was inserted it just say no SIM.
My question is has anyone been able to unlock this phone under Lollipop 5.1? How did you get to the "Enter Unlock Code" screen?
I also wonder if anyone has any luck unlocking with the original Android 4.3. If someone did, maybe I should flash the phone back to its original OS.
Thanks in advance!
