Hey.
I was trying to unlock a phone, so i tried some codes people gave me (codes that were suposed to work) tried 5 diferent codes and did not work. Now, the input code screen says that i gotta wait, and even if i wait a lot it does not quit. now, i need to use a code a i bought (dammit u_u') but i can't. Is there any other way to put the unlock code? or at least reset the number of tries... any help? THNX! i apreciate it
See Ya
EDIT: OK, tries hadn't gone, its just that it take a lot of time to reset the sim to find the locked network. So i keep my question and i have a new one, how many times i can put an invalid code? thnx

Hi all,
I'm new to this board.
I tried to unlock this phone with the app for unlocking which In sent to the phone thru Bluetooth.
I ran it first time, and although it said unlocked, I did not see it, as it was hidden under the window, so I ran it a second time, then it showed an error message.
So when I closed all, I then saw the successful unlock return.
But immediately, the phone started showing: "Service Provider Locked, Pls input unlock code"
Now even the Orange SIM cannot work anymore, also showing locked.
The phone is locked to Orange UK.
Here are data's I get when I Power the phone:
R 1.05.10
G 1337.39
D1.06.00 WWE
It is locked to Orange UK.
Pls can some1 tell me how to successfully unlock this phone ????
Thanks,
dannyogolo

Hi PLEASE HELP,
I've done so many Magics simlocks via code. Any problem except the last guy. He says that after unlock he cannot make any calls.( his phone was new he didn't check if he was able to make calls before unlocking procedure). He says no radios, roms etc was flashed before. I instructed him how to restore via nandroid to the orginal firmware/ wipe the phone etc. He says nothing happened still the same issue. Now phone doesn't ask for unlock code so I thing it's nothing wrong with my service - simlock is gone ,it's something with his phone. He also says that he has got an access to the Internet on several roms. But I think that he thinks it's my fault -but I'm sure it's something wrong with his phone! It's impossible to damage the phone trying to unlock via code based on IMEI. What do you think guys ???
ps. i've asked him to try call 112 - and he says it works, but if he dials another numer the phone says "not registered in network" or sth. like that. He says that the same sim card working fine in another phone. He has tried many sim cards and still the same issues...
thanks for help...

Another opinions are welcome
Ok.. sooo.. Some people have gotten the JIC ota update from tmobile USA.. Well i decided to go ahead and update it. Well I lost the carrier unlock on it now.
I was just the stock rom on it rooted and unlocked using the one click unlock to get teh codes to unlock the phone. It worked then. Now with the JIC6 update i have lost that unlock. Also the one click unlock app to get the codes no longer works. I have also seen other post about using a hex editor to look at the nv_data.bin file to look for the unlock codes (no success). I have the original code from before the update, but it does not work. Is there a Way to unlock the vibrant with the JI6 update?
Just enter the same code you got last time. and it will unlock you.
If anyone else reads this. Please keep your code. and put it someplace safe. everytime you flash you will need to re-unlock most like a iphone.
Interseting that i didnt even have to reenter it. First when i updated and than checked teh network lock code showing that it was on so i than proceded to use the one click unlock app and it didnt not work. SO lucky for me i have a screenshot of the code when i first used the unlock app. so i did the same process and put in another carrier sim and entered the unlock code. It told me it was unsuccessful. Now that i went to try it again after my first post. I procceded to put in the other carrier sim card and it was unlocked.
Oh well. Thanks!

He says in the OP that he has the original code, but it doesn't work.
I know this is actually a known Samsung problem that has happened on many of their phones (even ones that came unlocked from what I've read) & generally re-entering the key works.
If it doesn't work for me, I'll call up TMO & complain. I bought the phone at retail price off contract, so they should give the code w/o a problem.
Generally as long as you've been a customer with them for at least 30-90 days (and your phone is beyond the returnable period), they'll give the unlock code if you call & ask for it. Sometimes you have to say that you'll be travelling out of country in order to get them to give it to you.
Is there a way to unlock without putting in a foreign SIM?
WTF !
Do you mean that updating the device to JI6 will lock the phone ?!
I unlocked mine with a code is that means I'll lose the unlock ?!
I discovered this a few weeks ago. I was working on a fix when I bricked my phone.
I just got my replacement on Tuesday and will be continuing the fix.
What happens is either something within the ODIN process, or on the rom itself puts a generic bml3 block on that contains all F's where the unlock code is stored.
I also know that it's stored on the nv_data.bin in the ./efs block.
I have been able to get my unlock code to be seen by the sgux program when modifying the bml3 file and pushing it back to my phone.
I will be working on nv_data next, though, seeing as my new phone has the unlock codes already, I'll have to do some editing and backing up.
I have my old codes with me so can someone confirm if old codes still works after the update ?
Thanks for sharing the information with us regarding phone. It may help us n the future.

Yeah after my original posts i think your old code will work. It will probably give an error of that it was unsuccessful. Just ignore it. and and just reboot the phone.
so basically to recap what i did.
updated JIC6 ota with tmobile.
checked network lock *#7465625# ( showing that the network lock was on.)
tried that software one click app to get code. (unsuccessful)
powered off phone
put in another carrier sim card.
bootup phone.
put in old code i had from before update to jic6 ( says that it was unsuccessful )
power off phone
put back Tmobile sim
power off phone
put other carrier sim in
unlocked!
i dont have tmobile sim ...do you think it needs that ?
I ran into this on my old vibrant running jfd. Unlocked and rooted and I needed to reflash jfd with odin. Phone relocked itself even reflashing same firmware. Efs data didn't change because the unlock code could still be retrieved. But when I inserted my att sim the code unlock said unsuccessful no matter what I tried. It never unlocked again.

So old codes didnt work for you and you are stuck.
can anyone confirm if we should update or not to remain unlocked ?
anyone confirming this ?
I got two different statements here
Ok, I updated my vibrant to JI6 today and it didn't lock my device !!
Since I don't use T-mobile data plan so I downloaded the leaked rom from (Vibrant Android development) section then I flashed the stock rom followed by JI6 ROM and it's working perfect !!
Maybe because mine is unlocked officially by T-Mobile code !
Or may be only ota is locking
We need more info

Updated mine through odin.. still unlocked.
thanks...i just updated with odin and mine is unlocked
Now time to check whats new :d
They will not release a code nor will att for 9 months after the phone is out. You may call and ask.
Thats why i offer unlock services for these phones.
Successful OTA update yesterday, NO NETWORK LOCK, phone was rooted with no lag fix
For the life of me I cannot get this phone to unlock for a different sim
Ive tried the sgs unlock tool on both stock and a 2.2 froyo rom
I tried the windows tool posdted in another thread....the one with generatecode.bat ....it worked but it doesnt display a code on either the stock 2.1 update 1 rom or the foryo one....I dont know what to do
and yes im rooted
The windows tool worked for me from stock.
It doesn't generate a code though you input one.

Scroll down for instructions.
Did you try the sgs unlock PRO version?
I jsut bought the pro version and it doesnt want to work....it says it unlocked it when i use the unlock sim option and when i use the root or non root to show the code i get a unkown error
Call Tmo customer service. Tell them that you will be traveling overseas and you want to use a foreign SIM. Ask for the unlock code for your phone.
They will ask you for your phone's IMEI number.
Then in a few hours, or a day at the most they will send you the unlock code and instructions.
I dont understand why the paid app isnt working either....it just says no codes found unkown error and tmo wont give it to me....i hate them anyways
The app didn't work for me either. Did you try the solution I suggested above?
I use my phone in London the majority of the time having used that. It took me a few tries but it worked.
I agree with the earlier post that you can try asking tmo. They gave me the unlock code for my old blackberry after providing the IMEI.

I would get the error as well, but it did unlock. When you choose unlock phone, does it tell you to restart the phone with your SIM card?
Hello Everyone,
I have a Tmobile G2 that doesn't accept my VALID unlock code. I got this online and the seller of the code is very sure that this is indeed the valid code and he is saying that some one might have entered some invalid code multiple times which is why the phone is not accepting even a valid one from HTC servers.
Please Help!..Is there any way out of this? i.e. to reset the counter or something like that...
Thank you!..
Additional info
To add some additional info, when i typed in the code and pressed unlock, it didn't give me "Invalid code error " "Code invalid" some thing like that but rather said "Network code unlock unsuccessful" to which i was told that the code is fine and it has to do with the Phone itself. I also didn't get any notification of number of tries left.
Hope some one familiar with this can guide me out. Thanks!.
See the gfree method of rooting in the Development section. It will allow you to SuperCID which essentially does the same thing as "unlocking".
Thank you. Good to know that this can be achieved by a different method. I am very much new to this stuff and i haven't even rooted my phone. Its still running stock android.
I also wanted to know if the above error message is thrown if an invalid code is entered or if more wrong tries are made to enter the unlock code. Its just that if the error comes for invalid code, i will charge back my online purchase. .
Also,now i got some searches to make and learn how rooting/s-off/etc.
Help.
So i searched through the forum and found couple of important posts that could unlock my phone i.e.
1) Getting ADB to run @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865685
2) About GFree method @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2
But i want to try these two out as my last resort.
So can anyone tell me if the error message that i mentioned in the subject is because of invalid code or phone got hard locked and hence even a valid code is not working.?????? (How many attempts are required to hard lock G2?)
