Hey guys i need help.
i have android 2.2.1 installed on my hd2. it worked perfectly fine with my old simple mobile sim card. now when i changed to another sim card of another company, it doesn't work. it prompts for a sim network unlock pin!!!
wat should i do to unlock the pin????
p.s the new sim is fine and works perfectly with all other phones
You need to phone your old service provider and they will give you the unlock code so you can use different sim cards on your phone .
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
and dont keep trying till you get an unlock code! you only get so many attempts at entering a pin before the phone locks up for good.

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to find out how to SIM unlock my G1 without having an AT&T sim card. I have an unregistered T-Mobile sim card available if it could be used at all.
I tried searching but I must be using the wrong search terms because I keep getting results about unlocking using an AT&T sim card to get the request for unlock code to show up.
I have the unlock code, just need to be able to enter it.
dunno if its the same as the UK but I unlocked mine the other day from T-Mobile with an unlock code and all i had to do was to put the wrong sim card in there (i.e. the one u want to use) and then it should prompt you for an unlock code....
Yup, just shove in the ATT SIM card and it will ask for your code...
Hi,
I have a locked Spanish xperia x2. Following the suse update procedure reported in the forum I managed to load the GENERIC_UK_R3AA035_CABS.rar. After alla the cab installation the langauage is finally English but X2 gives me “unknown sim error”. What I am missing? thank and regards

Does the sim card work in a different phone?
Can you get a replacement sim card?
I remember that I had some issues with my phone one morning and I happened to walk by an official T-Mobil store while in downtown Chicago. It turned out that a number of specific, older, sim cards did not work due to an update on the network. So the T-Mobil guy just copied my sim to a new one and i was on my way with a working sim/phone.
One small point to know: I had the sim card for about 8 years. It was still Voice Stream (now T-Mobil). So it was a really old sim.
I have 2 new sim card working perfectly in my old X1. For none of them I have to insert pin code in X1.
In X2 I insert the pin code and then receive the error message. May this be due to the fact X2 was locked?
But shouldn't have been the loading I did of
GENERIC_UK_R3AA035_CABS.rar.
unlocking it?
what am I missing?
to unlock my X2 is GENERIC_UK_R3AA035_CABS.rar enough or should I purchase on the net an unlocking code?
thanks
no, you have done everything right so far. now just do the sues upgrade again and it'll boot the english rom (based on what cabs you downloaded on your phone) and your phone should be working fine. tell me how everything turns out. and good luck

Flashing a different language/rom has NOTHING to do with the fact that your phone is SIM LOCKED. And it will stay sim locked until SIM is UNLOCKED. But not with flashing a language or rom or anything via SEUS.
I am trying to use a chinese sim card in my canadian x10 but its not working. It asks me for a sim card unlock code when I start the phone.
It is rooted and flashed so I thought it would work. Is there anyway to make it work in China?
Hey guys
So I just got my LG Quantum off ebay. I put my Rogers sim card in and I boot, it tells me it cant recognize that there is a sim card or it is invalid. Im not sure what to do. I am switching from a Samsung Focus so there shouldnt be a problem. Yes the phone is unlocked, well the seller said it was unlocked but I wont know until it recognizes a sim card. Any help or ideas out there?
Anyone? bump

Sorry, I only check in every couple of days.
Sounds like your phone needs to be SIM unlocked. (I.e. the previous owner simply sold you a phone which is 'locked' to another vendor's network like AT&T for instance).
What you need to do is go to eBay or google for "LG Quantum Unlock Code". You'll need the IMEI (inside the battery compartment) and it shouldn't cost more than about $20.
Well the thing is the seller sold it unlocked. But Im skeptical, so I bought a code and such from cell unlocker, but the issue is that it doesn't recognize that there is a sim card inside of it. I have tried 2 bell sim cards, and 2 rogers sim cards. This is the problem because with the quantum there is no way to unlock it that I know of that doesnt require a sim card. It hasnt recognized any of the sim cards, it boots up and sais that there is no sim in the phone.

That's weird, it should at least prompt for PIN, PUK or unlock code. I would try:
1. Reflashing and then try if it asks for unlock code
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935605
2. Rebel Sim II 30$ (SIM card chipping)
3. Octopus India, 83$ (Unlock/repair tool)
My Quantum in is "PUK-code-loop" and unlocking code, reflashing or correct PUK wont help.. Rebel SIM II is on way..
I finally managed to unlock using Rebel SIM II:

Hi.
I bought a locked s8+ from Telcel México. I want it to use it on Att, I have the unlock aim code. The problem is when I instert the att sim I got a message "SIM network PIN blocked. Enter Sim network PUK." and a small lock blue icon. But I can't write anything, there is no keyboard option or anything. Any help? Thanks!
Have you tried another SIM card? Maybe read this: https://www.att.com/esupport/article.html#!/wireless/KM1000485

I just unlocked my phone this weekend. A number pad should have appeared. If you didn't turn off the phone to change the SIM try restarting. If that doesn't work try a different card.

Tried 2 different cards and had the same screen.
Now I flashed a new rom, that screen disappeared but now when I insert a new sim car got a new screen and now I can write the numbers. The problem is that I don't have the PUK code, I think that I need an unfreeze code, anyone knows how can i get that code? Or how can i unlock my phone?
Thank you!
Same **** with mine.

I got S8+ from f#c!¢n Telcel and paid for the Network Unlock code and have the same screen with the blue icon and cant do **** about it. With the new ROM ( Which one did you flash ) did you have any luck, have you unlocked your phone ?

You need the PUK code for the new sim card - most print this on the card that you popped the sim out of. If you don't have the original outer card, then call the carrier for the NEW sim card you are trying to use and they should be able to help you.
