I purchased a used ATT 8525 today and when I use my old ATT sim card, simlock comes up with the message:
"Network is locked, Please input unlock code"
I removed the sim and used HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a which seemed to complete OK, but I still get the message when I boot up with my sim card in.
I've searched the forums and google for hours and can't seem to come up with any answers. ATT won't give me the unlock code because I didn't pay full retail price for the phone...
What to do?
Thanks in advance.
I decided to try it again with a soft reboot followed up by a hard reboot... worked like a charm!

ok, so i used lokiwiz and i got my code thingy. After that i put in a tmobile sim card and it went but didnt ask me to enter the code, so i tried making a phone call. It went through, and also stated under something that i was using tmobile..... was my phone unlocked from the beggining? Also, how can i find out if it is unlocked? thanks
bump..... anyone wanna tell me?
yes you did unlock your phone otherwise when you put your tm sim in it would ask for the lock code.
I got an 8525 locked to AT&T (I believe) network. When I put in my AT&T sim card, it gives me this message:
SimLock
Network is locked. Please input unlock code.
Do I need to unlock the phone or does it refer to something else?
this is amazing

I guess it's a weird problem, I'm sure the phone was locked to AT&T, maybe my 4yo sim card was the problem (first twas ATT, then Cingular, then ATT again).
Anyway, doesn't matter now as Pof's unlocker http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665 worked like a charm!
So i give it a shoot here then!
Is there anyone out here wich knows where/how to unlock the Tattoo?
Have tried;
1. HTCUNLOCK.COM = Couldent generate code and got a REFUND!
2. HTCCODE.COM = Code UNKNOWN, The admin says codes will update in 1 week!?
By the way i really like the phone, But could be good to call from it also
NOW ITS UNLOCKED AND IM HAPPY!!!!
The code was provided by www.htccode.com

I can find the simlock part but how can you use it to unlock the mobile ? It looks like a key file is needed.
worked htccode.com for me also
I have purchased a code from this site also but it's not working, when I put in my o2 sim it asks for the unlock code but then gets stuck on a screen saying "unlocking sim"
what rom are you flashing?
ive got the htc .exe one which I flashed after creating a gold card & updating via my pc.
Did you update from the memory card? if so can you provide a link to the rom you used.
Tried a few sims now & the APN options are greyed out, so there must still be some orange stuff stuck on there.
It is fully recommended to flash before trying to unlock
follow the instructions to flash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603286
I bought the code from HTCCODE.COM and got UNKNOWN UNLOCK CODE
I flashed rom from this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603286
and tryed again but same problem code doesnt work...
This tutorial works fine. You should contact htccode and ask for help there.
I followed the tutorial but even after changing the rom the phone doesn't accept the unlock code.
For those who said it worked, was your phone locked to Orange UK??
Mine is locked to orange uk, and I cant remove the sim lock even if I flashed and entered a correct code. I got a refund for my code not working.

Hi,
I recently purchased a unlock code from unlockadic for my vibrant but when I went to use it it said Network lock request unsuccessful. Does anyone have any ideas?
If this is in the wrong section I apologize
P.S. I did contact unlockadic and said that this has never happened and that he would have to have his guys look at the problem.
bump because i had the same issue.
you need a non-t-mob sim in the phone for the unlock to activate
I have an account with Rogers & that is the SIM l put in the phone-result was unsuccessful. Code is correct unlock code-i got the same code from three different sources but no luck.

hussafilms is correct.
You need to put in a sim from a network that the phone was not designed for. So if you bought the phone from tmobile then put in a att sim or if you bought it from another company put in a sim that is not from that company. So if you have the galaxy s from rogers then put in a tmobile sim or something.
Let me clarify, I bought a Samsung t959 Vibrant from ebay locked to t mobile and I put in my Rogers SIM card, entered the code and it was unsucessful
How many times did you try to enter the unlock code? I beleive if you have three failed attempts, it will be permanatly locked.
Hi,
I have a locked Spanish xperia x2. Following the suse update procedure reported in the forum I managed to load the GENERIC_UK_R3AA035_CABS.rar. After alla the cab installation the langauage is finally English but X2 gives me “unknown sim error”. What I am missing? thank and regards

Does the sim card work in a different phone?
Can you get a replacement sim card?
I remember that I had some issues with my phone one morning and I happened to walk by an official T-Mobil store while in downtown Chicago. It turned out that a number of specific, older, sim cards did not work due to an update on the network. So the T-Mobil guy just copied my sim to a new one and i was on my way with a working sim/phone.
One small point to know: I had the sim card for about 8 years. It was still Voice Stream (now T-Mobil). So it was a really old sim.
I have 2 new sim card working perfectly in my old X1. For none of them I have to insert pin code in X1.
In X2 I insert the pin code and then receive the error message. May this be due to the fact X2 was locked?
But shouldn't have been the loading I did of
GENERIC_UK_R3AA035_CABS.rar.
unlocking it?
what am I missing?
to unlock my X2 is GENERIC_UK_R3AA035_CABS.rar enough or should I purchase on the net an unlocking code?
thanks
no, you have done everything right so far. now just do the sues upgrade again and it'll boot the english rom (based on what cabs you downloaded on your phone) and your phone should be working fine. tell me how everything turns out. and good luck

Flashing a different language/rom has NOTHING to do with the fact that your phone is SIM LOCKED. And it will stay sim locked until SIM is UNLOCKED. But not with flashing a language or rom or anything via SEUS.
