A few months ago I had called t-mobile to unlock my phone. I put a foreign sim in and I entered in the unlock code.
Since then I have wiped my phone numerous times and installed different android builds.
1) If I am to go out of the country again and put the foreign sim card in.. will it work right away or will I have to enter the unlock code again?
2) If answer to #1 is entering code again, will the code be the same or will I have to call again?
Thx in advance.
Nope. You're all set.

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.
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
Good service and support! and now flashing only code and working! Tryed 2 different SIMs allready!

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.

Same problem as most people in here ... only solution we found is to use the ismartsim 2008
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.
Got an unlock code from AT&T, but I can't seem to be able to get to the point where I can punch it in and unlock the phone (no, I do not have a SIM card). Any advice? I tried a bunch of codes to get it to unlock mode, none works. Currently running CM13 on my 1337.
Many thanks!
In order to be promoted for sim unlock code or to enter the unlock code using the dialler menu, the phone needs to be running a stock or close to stock rom with the stock dialler.
I have a ATT 930A that I successfully flashed with 930U and it works great. I was thinking of making sure it was SIM unlocked in case later I wanted to sell it, so I made a request of ATT for the unlock code but when I try it it tells me the unlock was unsuccessful. Do I need to go back to 930A to make the code work?
Probably yes
I don't think so. Just put in a non AT&T SIM and it's gonna ask for an unlock code

I did but the code att gave me didn't work.
So did the phone prompt for a SIM unlock code and you typed it in, got an error? What is the error? SIM lock should not change when you flash different ROMs yo the phone.

Yes, after entering the code it says "incorrect network unlock code entered"
I had this problem with my S7. I had paid off my contract however every time I tried input my IMEI number to the AT&T unlock device website it would tell my my IMEI is invalid. i contacted AT&T customer service directly and gave them my informatio. They had to put the case in for the unlock code themselves. Reason was since i didn't finish the 2 years even though i paid off my contract it got lost in the system hope this helps
