I have unlock code - What to do next?!

I got an unlock code from Vodafone. I followed the instructions, put in a different carriers SIM (Orange), boots the phone up and there's no prompt to unlock code. The phone boots normally and says no sim card is in. Has anyone had similar problems? Rang both VF and HTC and were unable to help! Does anyone have an idea of how to bring up the 'unlock' prompt?

Once you unlock the phone, it should bring up a keypad, or you should be able to bring up the keypad to dial in the unlock code. Hit OK afterwards, and it'll unlock the SIM. Just did it now.

I put in the new sim card, the phone boots as normal. I get no prompt to unlock it, neither does the keypad come up. It just says I have no sim inserted.

I have the same problem,when I put other sim not asking for unlocking code,do u find how to enter unlocking code?

I have the same issue. Did anyone ever get it figured out?
I'd really appreciate some help

Did you put in the sim card the wrong way?

[Q] HD2 Pin required after pin was accepted

So i purchased sim unlock code online for my hd2 which is running WP7. I inserted the AT&T sim card and turned the phone on. The first thing phone requested pin, i entered it and it said that pin accepted but the phone is still locked. Every time im trying to call it asks for pin again and it says pin required. What should i do to get it working??

I have the exact same issue. Anyone? I've tried apn settings, rebooting, etc.

I fixed this! If you load android on an sd and boot it and then put in the lock code it will unlock your device. I used Copenhagen's Gingerbread. After that, boot into WP7 and it should display your carrier name. Try this Wolk and tell me what you think, and click thanks if you think I helped at all.

How did you do this? Im having trouble with only one sd-card 2gb

[Q] Need help with Unlocking Optimus 7

Hey guys
I purchased a Telus Optimus 7 phone and I'm trying to unlock it. I got the code from a specific website... but when I put in my SIM card (from another provider) the phone prompts that "the sim is locked and you need a PUK". I got the PUK from my service provider but when I enter it... it gives me a SIM ERROR message. I know that the phone is suppose to prompt me to "enter pin" but it doesnt do it. Am I doing something wrong ?

Everyone looking to unlock their LG Optimus 7, heed my warning!
DO NOT ENTER A WRONG UNLOCK CODE MORE THAN 2 TIMES! IT WILL LOCK ITSELF ON THE WRONG 3RD ATTEMPT.
If you do, it's really locked and needs to be either re-sent to LG/carrier or completely re-flashed. The PUK it's asking is "Phone Unlock Key", not "PIN Unlock Key". Which means the phone itself is "locked" not NCK locked.
Btw, same thing happened to me.

whoa... think that in his case is the Personal unlocking code, not the Phone unlocking code... if u put the original SIM card the phone works? if so, or the SIM that ask you the PUK is fried or you just really don't have unlocked the phone

I've purchased an unlock code but it's asking for a PUK Key as well. How do I figure this out? Google hasn't helped. Is this a key Telus can provide? Or do I need a new SIM card (could mine have some kind of lock on it?)
Thanks!

I have tha same problem, does any one how to make my phone works, or to find a PHONE unlock key(PUK) without contacting AT&T (the original's phone carrier) because I don't use AT&T service, but I want to unlock my phone ... my LG quantum says ''your phone is locked, contact you service provider for an unlock code''

Help!! Network unlock unsuccessful

Today I got the code to unlock my phone for all companies, I have the PIN unlock code, NCK and MCK, the problem happens when I enter the PIN code and tells me "Network unlock unsuccessful", I am 100% sure that the PIN is correct, then I can't do more, help please. Could unlock it with the soft method in the forum, but if I have the unlock code, I guess it's better in the normal way. I'm Epsylon 12feb CM7.2.

Soft unlock works, I've using this method for 4 month with CM7, but with some roms this method doesn't work. I'll try it on stock rom later.

I think he means entering the code when you are on stock rom. Don't know if it's gonna help. You could try.

First, insert your SIM-card into another (already unlocked) phone, and turn PIN-security off.
Then insert SIM back into your Defy, and try enter Network unlock code.

The SIM-card, is without PIN, i don't know why is asking me for a code, I'm using soft unlock with CM7 right now, and i have no problems with my simcard, i'll try it later with stock rom, it should work.

I'm now in stock ROM, CEE deblur, and still not working, still asking me for "SIM network unlock PIN", i put in the PIN code and "network unlock request unsuccessful". I'll try if the soft unlock works on White Rabbit.

[Q] Remove simlock by flashing kernel?

Hi,
I have lg g2(D802) with Orange simlock and I just wondering that is it possible to remove simlock by flashing kernel or rom?
I have tried to remove it by code but when I enter 2945#*802# and select any option, I get the message that the phone is permanently locked.

No. you need to buy an unlock code.
It's 1.7 - 1.9 $, it's cheap if you ask me.

I have tried that but as I wrote in first post I can't do that because when I enter 2945#*802# and select any option, I get the message that the phone is permanently locked.

Maybe the device is blacklisted or something. Or wrong code has been entered few times. Try other types of unlock or try inserting unsupported sim

I have exactly the same problema. My operator gives me wrong codes and now it say that it is my fault.
So I have my LG g2 802 rooted and I wonder how to unlock it, beacause of the bad operator behaviour (Vodafone) I just want to change my service provider asap, but I just very happy with my current phone.
so, does anybody some new ideas about how to unlock a "permanent blocked" phone?
Thanks in advance
