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?)

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.
tattoo locked to orange
Hi guys, i have a tattoo locked to orange which i have flashed and entered an unlock code. The screen says successfully unlocked but when in use i can only make emergancy phone calls. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Same problem as most people in here ... only solution we found is to use the ismartsim 2008
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
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?
Having some issues unlocking a rogers LG g2 on rogers for use on bell (in canada). I requested the code from a supplier we use at work called swift unlocks. First one came back with an error saying not found. Second one came back and gave me 5 codes. I tried 4 of 5 of them and retried the first one twice. All were unsuccessful. I'm pretty nervous about trying it again unless i know i have the right code. Anybody have any clue as to why this would be? I could pm imei and the unlocks if for whatever reason you needed them. Thanks!
I used a different unlock service but just to confirm:
The IMEI code that you sent them was 15 digits, and
The unlock code that you received back was 16 digits?
The unlock code is calculated based on your IMEI, so an incorrect IMEI will generate in incorrect unlock code. Just confirming, no insult intended.
Edit: the 'not found' error from the first guy might be an indication of an IMEI number problem, the second might attempt to calculate the code without verifying the number of digits (just guessing).

But yes make sure the imei is correct
I had an issue unlocking my phone if i wasn't on the stock lg rom, on aosp it wouldn't unlock for some reason.
So a year ago I obtained the bootloader code and successfully unlocked my phone to debrand my phone.
Now I would like to flash a custom room (lineage) on my phone but to my surprise I found out the bootloader is locked again!
I didn't write down the code and whenever I try to obtain a new one from the official website it just says
"Please make sure the verification code and model number are correct. If your device has multiple IMEIs or MEIDs, please try another IMEI or MEID."
I of course checked everything a million times and every number is correct! I think the error is due to the fact that I already obtained my code...what can I do??
