if your phone is older than 2 years and you live in a country that has a similar sim lock system as germany, you might qualify for a free unlock from the phone's former carrier. if you contact them and give them your imei, they should immediately be able to tell you the code.
if that is not the case or there is some other trouble, you can always refer to this thread:

Hey, for anyone that unlocked your HD2 through t-mobile, I was just wondering, how many digits was the unlock code they gave you? because I had my friend call T-mobile to ask for a unlock code for my HD2 even though I am not a customer of theirs (He is), and he gave them my imei number but didnt tell them that the imei was for an HD2, and he has a samsung phone, so this is what the email said
Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. Below you will see the Instructions for unlocking your Samsung device. For Unlock code you will enter the 8 digit code that we have provided you.
Enter: #7465625*638*Unlock Code#
NOTE: Network Personalization Cancelled should display once unlocked. "Not Yet Personalized" will be displayed if it has already been unlocked.
It is very important that the instructions 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,

so, could they have mistakenly sent me an unlock code for his phone even though they used my imei or its really the code for my phone
appreciate any help

Dude, You should've gotten 8 Digits from TMO for unlocking your HTC HD2. Also based on the email you have posted the code is for a Samsung. Your Email should've looked like this:
Unlock Code: 12345678
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.

Thanks and Yes, I did get an 8 digit code, but the imei number i gave them in order to find the unlock code was from my htc HD2, but TMO thinks i am trying to unlock the samsung phone, but they mustve found the code in the system based on the imei number is what I'm asking. I am going to try it on my phone later on, but I just wanted to ask this before I tried
Just be careful when you enter the code coz the instructions for entering it is very different from what i have. If it didn't work once don't try it again. Good Luck!
what is the amount of tries you have on the HD2 before it locks permanantly?
ok so I just found out that the code they gave me was actually for the samsung phone, it was a good thing that I didnt use it
Hey guys, strange problem:
Got a Telus LG Optimus 7. Want to unlock it to Rogers. Got the unlock code, however when I use my Rogers SIM the Optimus asks for a 'PUK' number.
Long story short, I called Rogers, they gave me the PUK for my SIM. When I enter it I get 'SIM Error'. So I went to a Rogers store and got a new SIM card with a new PUK--same error. Tried someone else's Roger's SIM--still asks for PUK.
I called around, no one has any idea what's going on. Google can barely help. Telus tells me I have to pay $50 to get it off their network, but I can't trust the rep knew what the problem was and they won't just give me an unlock code I already have. A 'cell phone repair shop' tells me LG phones are impossible to unlock anyway (? really?). So my question is:
How do I unlock this phone? What kind of security is this (could the PUK refer to someother other than a SIM's PUK)? Anyone have experience unlocking a Telus Optimus? Can I flash this thing and see if it'll bypass the PUK part?
Any help would be deeply appreciated. Other wise I have to try and resell this phone.
So, I re-flashed the phone anyway, just to see if it works.
Now it's a little different. Now it asks for a PUK and once I enter that it tells me to create a PIN. When I do it says SIM ERROR! So while I can get a little farther it still errors out!
I've tried both the Telus flash and the Mexico flash.
So if it's not the firmware, what could be causing this?!
PIN & PUK security depends on SIM card functionality, in this case phone software is transparent and does not verify PIN. IMHO it looks like incompatibility between SIM card and WP7 phone or strange configured SIM card. Try on another non-WP7 phone, maybe if you set or disable PIN code card will function on WP7 phone.
Thanks for the tip elektryk. I think you're on to something.
I have tried the SIM in a non-WP7 phone. It works fine. I put it in both an iPhone and BB. Using the iPhone I created a PIN then tried the Optimus. It now asks for a SIM pin--which I input, then goes back to the PUK screen which still fails.
It seems to be a very strange incompatibility with the SIM, even though I've read reports of Telus Optimus being unlocked for Rogers SIMs.
Bad luck I suppose?
I have exactly the same problem. I put a SIM with PIN security enabled, and after I enter the correct PIN requests the PUK!! and if I disable the PIN secure, request inmediatly for the PUK. The Phone say: Your phone is Blocked. Contact the Service provider for an unlock code.--- the only problem is that I don't use the AT&T service, so I can't contact them!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!
Fabian, I could not find a way around the problem so I sold the phone. Luckily there was another e900h which was unlocked for sale. The guy followed the same steps I did but it never asked for a PUK. Weird how some phones do and others don't (especially considering both phones were from the same provider).
EDIT: Hey, try this, see if it works: Try without sim card for enter the unlock code. and type 2945#*900# for enter the unlock menu

Hey, start the phone without sim card, but no unlock code required, no where to type.
I've a E900h where none of the 5 unlock codes provided worked for some reason. Haven't ask for PUK yet but lost as to what to do right now.
Typing 2945#*900# just produces a failed msg - top left hand corner is a file icon with lock on the left.
In our country ones you buy a sim from network provider.
they give us a card with a PUK code for the sim we buy.
Try to contact your service provider.
Unlock codes is For unlocking SIm Only.
you can switch different SIM f u have unlock codes.
it is different with SIm Pin Code.
You can get Ur PUK Code to your service Provider.
what country were u from??
PRESS THANKS IF I HELP!!

where did you get your unlock code from? i hear good things about http://cellunlock.net
You realize that AT&T gives you 5 free unlock codes a year....do you have AT&T or know someone who does?
just call at&t and ask for it, you'll give em your imei and they give you code and poof!
theres a blackout period of 6months after launch for at&t to NOT give the codes out past that its whoever asks.
atrix came up to anyone that asks mode in august i believe.(had mine unlocked for my euro trip
But there is a problem - I live in Ukraine dood And i can not call to ATsT
your only option would be to purchase an unlock code online for like $15.
Just call AT&T - they should give you the code
I suspect that the seller blocked phone. Found in that kind of thing A Hard Lock is a permanent carrier lock.Your phone will become hard locked by attempting to enter an incorrect unlock code more times than your phone allows, permanently locking the phone to the current carrier. Each phone manufacture has a different limit for the amount of unsuccessful attempts before the device becomes hard locked. The standard amount for Nokia, Samsung and Motorola is 5 attempts. The standard amount for LG and Blackberry is 10 attempts. The messages below are examples of what a Hard Locked phone will display. To test this needed to be done: Power on the phone with a Not Accepted Sim card. The phone will display "Sim Network Unlock Pin". In order to find how many attempts you have remaining you must enter a invalid code. You can do this by entering all zeros "0" as the unlock code which will be either, 8 or 16 digits depending on model. This will give you a Network Unlock Request Failure and a message "Number of Attempts Remaining: #" will display on the screen. If your phone is Hard Locked it will display "Number of Attempts Remaining: 0" andyou should not proceed with purchasing an Unlock code as your phone is permanently locked. Motorola phones come from the factory with five attempts. This is how it turned out. Tell me please what to do in such cases.
I am looking at purchasing a HTC HD2 from ebay. Unfortunately, it was from a "batch of phones that had left the suppliers locked" The supplier eventually offered a refund and he also, maybe inadvertently kept the phone as well. When he now puts in the SIM card the message reads --"Service provider is locked. Please input unlock code." Apparently you can have these unlocked, but one site states that "This service will NOT remove your phone’s security lock" Can somebody please explain to me what this means? Is it correct that you can only enter the unlock code 5 times and then it is permanently locked? Is there any way round this? It seems a little strange that the phone provider supplied a locked phone, then provided the unlock code, which for some reason didn't work? I would appreciate any advice. The emei number appears to check out as far as it is not blocked. I will pay for an "official" check, if it appears that I can get round the unlock problem. I could always approach the original supplier and request an unlock code, and hope that their unlock procedure works the second time round?
Thanks
Which carrier is this from?
Usually when you enter it wrong x number of times you now have to enter the "unfreeze" code, which you should be able to get from the phone provider. Most online unlocks also have the unfreeze code.
What country & network was it locked to ?
Most can be easily unlocked via codes matched to the IMEI
*Do make sure IMEI on sticker in battery area matches that of actual mainboard IMEI when you dial *#06# to view IMEI on screen
Have entered more than 5 myself & been on a time out wait for quite some time ...
Security lock is to do with firmware certificate checking & nothing to do with SIM lock ...
I get all my codes from http://www.pdamagician.com/unlocking.html but if you tried some code already without success I would ask them if they have another code not matching what already been tried.
Other option is getting it unlocked via cable & software & this method can unlock SIM, CID & Security as required but you need to find a local shop that supports it ...
Also worth noting you need to be on Windows Mobile ROM to fully support the code unlocking.
Thanks for the replies
Supplier was Virgin UK
Just to clarify:
"Service provider is locked. Please input unlock code."
• This is security lock and can be unlocked by using:
o code from original phone supplier (Different one in this case).
o code from 3rd party online supplier such as pdamagician.
o cable connection using specialist software at local shop.
IMEI sticker number matches mainboard
• This can only be checked after unlocking security on phone as above?
I presume by windows mobile rom, you mean not running on other operating system such as android? The phone has never been used, so it will be on windows and therefore not be a problem?
Are these phones still available new anywhere?
I can still buy them new here in Bangkok but getting harder to find.
Vodafone UK should be easily SIM unlocked by genuine HTC code & if for some odd reason not software & cable will for sure.
I would get likes of pdamagician to verify the code you have already tried as suspect a genuine HTC IMEI database code will be different .

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.
