I currently have a G1 and I wanted to unlock in my country. OI purchased the unlock and when i try to put on my phone it says unsuccessful. Now I am pretty sure you are saying the code I received is incorrect but I have been purchasing from same place for very long time and it is direct from tmobile data base. I have recheck the imei 400 times and it is correct. Does anyone have an idea on what I can do to get this phone working? Thanks Otto68

The guy who I got it from had Unlocked in the title. But when I put my Rogers SIM card in it says Network is locked. Please input unlock code.
Any cheap fast ways of getting rid of this? Thanks!
----------------------------------
UPDATE:
OK. So I tryed an unlocker from ebay twice (I didnt notice that the default email for my paypal account was an old invalid email of mine, but they should get a failure to deliver notice and refund my money, or so I hope) and I got a message back that read:
Hello - This is an automated message from NewMobileFreedom.com to let you know your unlock code is now available on our online tracking system.
Model: Wing
Code: NOT FOUND
Provider: T-Mobile
They say if they cant unlock it they will refund my money back. Does this mean no one can unlock me phone???
What should I do? Has anyone got a better way of getting this phone unlocked??? Thanks!
EDIT: I don't know if it matters, but the IMEI on the box is a bit different than the one from the phone (*#06#) the box has 15 digits and the phone show two extra digits - so 17 in total. Should I have given the 17 digit on???

i don't know if that will work because he doesn't have t-mobile ( and they aren't available in canada ) that's why he's trying to unlock the phone so he can use Roger's Wireless.
I'm using their web chat right now trying to get it from them... this could take a while. Where's Mitnick when you need him?
*Update* I got shutdown.
you could always purchase the unlock...
or is that out of the question.
No, I just did that. I'll get the code in the next day or two...

Hello, I am new here...
Help!!!,
I've bought a Cingular hw6920 and I would like to use it when I travel, with local SIM cards.
The phone is obviously locked and when I try to use another SIM, it shows the message "Network is locked, please input unlock code".
Since I have a Cingular account, I've asked for the code, but after sending them the IMEI (correct), they have replied that they cannot find it!
Same thing happened when I've tried to get the code through one of the pay services.
Any suggestion? I can't return or exchange the phone since I left it to my brother in Europe.
Thanks
So I bought my HD2 2 weeks after they came out. Shortly after I tried buying an unlock code for my phone because t-mobiles service in my area is kind of come and go. Unfortunatly I have one of the 35777 Phones so after 4 attempts with 4 different sites failing at getting a code, I tried emailing tmobile to see if they would give me a code as they already told me they dont have service in my area. They told me to fax them a copy of my invoice proving I paid full price for the thing, so I did. About a week later they got back to me and said that due to the fact that I bought it from a site that was not one of their approved retailers I couldnt get an unlock code. So about a week and a half ago I went to a tmobile store and got the darn thing setup anyways. I get some service in this area, just not much. Now about 3 days ago, I get an email from t-mobile that looks like this:
T-Mobile Sim Unlock Request
Sim Unlock Reference: *******
IMEI: 35777*********
Unlock Code: ********
Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. Below you will see the Instructions for unlocking your HTC device.
1. Insert the foreign SIM card
2. Power on the device and the display should read "Please input unlock code"
3. Enter the unlock code and the device should display "Phone is unlocked."
4. Allow the phone to scan the network (or manually click on the antenna icon to do this)
It is very important that the instructions and SIM unlock code are entered correctly as listed. If you receive an error message while performing the instructions do not make any further attempts to unlock the handset. Please be aware that if an excessive amount of incorrect attempts are made, the phone will be permanently locked. You will need to verify the IMEI by pressing *#06# and contact Customer Care for support.
Thank You,
Sim Unlock Department
T-Mobile USA, Inc.
I kind of find this a bit odd. They tell me I cant get the number, then about a month later they randomly mail it to me anyway.
sounds kind of odd... have you always had tmobile or did you just sign up to purchase the hd2?
Neither, I had at&t before, Wanted to buy it and unlock it to use with at&t but in the process realized at&t's service is a bit of a ripoff. Atleast it is with standard plans. Wanted to try and use my hd2 with a gophone card but it doesnt seem to want to work.
Hi,
I just purchased an as new unlocked note 4 from someone on gumtree, they have been posting for years so don't think i have a dodgy phone, i sent my brother to pick the phone up from their home while i was working and he said they unlocked the password while he was there.
But i have just tried a couple of sims and i get the message " sim network unlock pin"
I have tried to contact the person but he works away off shore and don't know when he will get back or reply.
Is there a way to get by this and get my sim working?.......i was planning on rooting the phone anyway.
Thanks for any replies!
You will need to get the unlock code because it's locked to a particular network.
You can usually tell which network it's locked to because it has bloatware from that network installed.
Also in the settings on "about phone" tab it should give you some letters at the end of the firmware version which will tell you what network.
Mine was locked to O2 and I used this guy.
Gave me code in a few hours.

Hi, There does not seem to be any bloatware installed from any network....the phone does look like a bought unlocked phone. Maybe the owner has put a sim lock on the phone himself?
download the Samsung Info app from Play Store, it should tell you eveything you need to know(root wont unlock network)and no way the seller put a network lock, in terms of unlocking you'll need the code. Some service providers supply them at no fee and some at a fee, alternatively you have a plethora of online options usually at a small cost to provide code, gl.
I have a SM-G903W phone (Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Canada version). It was a replacement phone I got for free from my dad who is on Rogers. He bought a new phone and used it and gave me the replacement phone. I assumed it was locked to Rogers and called them for the unlock code but they wouldn't give it to me because the replacement phone had never been on their network, and they have a 90 day policy. There's a local tech shop that offered unlocking services, so I had it done there. It worked great in different countries.
I recently moved to the states and the phone worked fine for a week under UltraMobile/T-Mobile. Then somehow one morning I turned on the phone and it was saying "Invalid SIM, enter sim network unlock pin". The phone somehow locked itself again! I called the tech shop I used in Canada and they gave me the unlock pin for my phone. I entered it and it said "Network unlock request unsuccessful". Now, I've read on this site that even with the correct pin this error can sometimes come up, and there's a bunch of dial codes people posted. None of them work for my phone, they were all written for Galaxy S5 or Galaxy S4. I haven't found anyone address this issue on the S5 Neo.
I asked the tech shop what I can do and they said if I bring it in to their store they can hard unlock it for me, but I'm not going back to Canada for a couple of months. I haven't found any local unlock stores here except one which wanted $100 for it, and the store seemed sketchy. I called Rogers to see if I can get an unlock code from them, maybe it'll be different, but they claim my IMEI isn't in their database! I'm not sure how that can be (see next post)
What can I do? I don't have any custom roms installed, although I rooted the phone in an attempt to get it unlocked again. It's running Android 6.0.1
Update: I purchased from Rogers the unlock code, and they gave me the same one the tech shop gave me...there goes $50. On the bright side I've confirmed I have the right unlock code, but the phone still says "Network unlock request unsuccessful". Would flashing a stock rom help?
EDIT: I flashed a stock rom and it didn't help (used MTA-G903WVLU1BPF1-20160602043310), 6.0.1. I don't suppose a 5.x version would do much difference?
Hi I have had similar experience with network unlock and generally I find that the original stock firmware will work so yes I imagine that the 5.x will help
Hi,
Did you ever get a solution to this?
I have had similar situation except I updated mine with smart switch and now cant get a network.
Ive been searching likead amd camt find a answer just the same reset networl ect and they aint working.

Thanks.
