Hi everybody,
I need some help with myTouch 4g. When I insert a different carrier SIM card the unlocking window is not displaying as normal. The phone is brand new, with default software and it is not root-ed.
Do you have any suggestion of how to solve this? I need to use the phone in other country so I need it unlocked.
Thanks!
The complete procedure to unlock & root is explained in this post.
Just go through it & do accordingly.
Hope this help you out.

Hi all,
I'm new to this board.
I tried to unlock this phone with the app for unlocking which In sent to the phone thru Bluetooth.
I ran it first time, and although it said unlocked, I did not see it, as it was hidden under the window, so I ran it a second time, then it showed an error message.
So when I closed all, I then saw the successful unlock return.
But immediately, the phone started showing: "Service Provider Locked, Pls input unlock code"
Now even the Orange SIM cannot work anymore, also showing locked.
The phone is locked to Orange UK.
Here are data's I get when I Power the phone:
R 1.05.10
G 1337.39
D1.06.00 WWE
It is locked to Orange UK.
Pls can some1 tell me how to successfully unlock this phone ????
Thanks,
dannyogolo

Hello all
This is my first post here, but I have been reading a lot for some days now
So this is the issue
Some days ago I bought on ebay from a reputable seller the sgs2 stated as unlocked for all networks. This is a UK phone but I am located in portugal, and I use a vodafone sim card
Much to my surprise I was greeted with the O2 logo when turning it on.. oh well.. no big issue on that but...! right after entering my sim card pin code it asked for a network lock control key.!
Trying to avoid too much assle for being a newbie in android I bought an unlock code from mobileunlocked, and well, it didn´t work! says "requesting network unlock" over a fraction of a second and then right afterwards "network unlock request unsucessfull"
Ok, so I went the hard way and read all about firmware and rooting at the android development part of the forum
Was able to flash the XWKE7 / baseband XXKE4 with odin, was able to root it with intratech´s thourough instructions, no more O2 startups or logos, even installed the galaxy S2 sim unlock (it finds the same unlock code I got before, and it is probably right)
but.... the dam unlock code question does not go away, so I have no mobile network at all!
Seems it tries to communicate with O2 for the unlocking but of course I am nowhere near the UK..
So I have a fantastic up to date piece of brick in my hands!
Could someone please help, how can I get over this network unlock code ?
I am running out of options, please help!
best rgds
Buy a code from somewhere online instead. They're more reliable then the app unlock.
Samsung phones can be locked by 4 methods methods but generally the first three are what you are interested in .
1. [NCK] Network lock
2. [SCK] Subset lock
3. [SPCK] SP lock
4. [MCK]
o2 generally only lock down NCK
1 ensure you have down the correct IMEI number , when you got your network unlock code was it just the unlock code they gave you or did they supply the above too.
2. you do not need to have an O2 sim to unlock as the procedure means you need to put a different sim in to enable the codes .
3 mobileunlocked.co.uk are very good and if you contact them they will be able to help you . Send them an email .
Hope this helps but just make sure you entered the correct IMEI number *#06# from the start .
good morning
indeed they do, I bought from them. I had to enter the MCK and then the NCK
how could I know ? lolol
also thank you guys for your prompt help
turning on the little devil as I write... ta nan!
I just purchased a unlocked my touch 3g ( I believe Magic) no slide.
At times my phone asks me to do a update.
When I look at what the update is it shows "Android System Update 1.2...The system is required to install Android version 2.2.1 on your device."
My phone states my firmware version is 1.6
So my questions are:
Do I need to perform this update?
Will this update lock my phone again ?
This is my 1st android phone and truthfully I'm not real technical. I have been going around googling different thing to make mysel more familar with the phone and Android.
Any help woul sure be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Ok so 81 views and nobody knows.
Anybody have any idea what other sites out there may deal with this type of thing that they may be able to direct me to?
Thanks
Could you please provide the info on your fastboot? You can get to fastboot by turning the phone off, then turning it on while holding down the volume down button.

I hope this helps and what you were asking for
Thanks
First off, you do not need to update if you don't want to. Second, I think the update will relock the phone, so I recommend not updating at all, unless you have a reliable method of unlocking again.

I appreciate the info
Ok there are two things:
1) Sim Lock.. if your phone is sim unlocked it will remain sim unlocked.. actually I don't think there is any documented way to re-sim lock the phone.
2) Root.. if your phone is rooted i recommend installing a rooted version of the upgrade if you desire to upgrade.. otherwise the upgrade will either unroot the phone or fail because the phone is currently rooted (possibly causing it not to boot into android until you restore a good firmware)
Remember the sim lock is different from root.. and you can be rooted but sim-locked... or sim-unlocked but not rooted.. the simlock is just the tie in to the carrier and part of the Radio.. not part of the android firmware. Further its in a special radio settings region that is not flashed when you change the phone's radio.
So if you have the stock un-rooted/un-modified firmware and wish to update feel free.. just note you may want to back up what you can first.. some people have had problems with the update going slow until they factory reset after the update..
ezterry,
Thanks for the info.
Truthfully I'm unsure about many things on this phone.
I purchased this phone off Ebay as a unlocked only phone.
When I received the phone I just popped in my sim-set up the phone and was done.
At this point though I'm not even sure its unlocked because it is a T=Mobile phone and my service is myfamily mobile,which is just T-Mobile sold at Walmart.
I put in a sim card from my neighbors AT &T and it asked me for a pin #.
I skipped putting in a pin and the phone opened up but said no service. With that I am just assuming it is truly unlocked.
Am I correct?
Um.. if it asked for an unlock code its locked.. if it was sold unlocked and showing the code you ought to have been provided the code by the seller.
Pin usually just means the owner of the sim locked put a pin on the sim to prevent it from its data/service being accessed by others. (The sims owner ought to know the pin) This pin needs to be entered into any phone the sim is put in.
As soon as I find another person with a different sim card I am going to try it again.
I do think it was a pin # that was asked.
Unfortunately the owner did not provide any sort of code when I purchased.
Its my understanding,and I may be wrong,that you can purchase unlocked phones new,and if so I'm not sure weather or not codes are provided for new phones.
This is all very new to me so I am not sure.

If a HTC Dream/Sapphire was sim locked at the factory you must put in a sim card from another carrier and unlock the phone.. If it was never locked (such as the Google versions of the phones) this is not needed.
Once Sim Unlocked it will remain so regardless.
Yes, this is a My touch 3g google version phone

MT3G = T-Mobile = locked to T-Mobile US but running the Google firmware

So does this mean the phone is not unlocked and can only be used on T-Mobile?
or
Is it possible someone paid a 3rd party for a code to un-lock it?
I guess I really need to try like a AAT & T sim and see if I could service,as that was my undrstanding. I was under the impression that any gsm service provider uising a sim card would be operable.
You have gone in a circle now.. I told you if its sim locked when you put in a sim of a diffrent provider it will ask for an unlock code.. once sim unlocked it will *never* be locked again.
You will of course need a non tmo-us sim to be sure.
All I know is the MT3G will have been shipped from the factory locked.. I will not know the current state since the seller prob made sure it was unlocked if it wasn't already so if the phone was sold unlocked ..
The only other way I know to test is harder to do and possible risky with the firmware changes to do it w/o special htc serial wires.
And FYI a pin protected sim will ask for the sims pin before the sims carrier can be read (thus you need to provide the sims pin before it will ask for the unlock code if the phone is sim locked)
Ok,gotcha.
Sorry,told you not to savy
So I'll test another sim again and see what happens.
Thanks again for all the support

Ok.
So I pulled the sim card from my neighbors AT &T phone and when the phone booted up it asked me for :
"sim network unlock pin"
unlock
dismiss
My neighbor told me he didn't have a sim pin,but he used the code he has to lock his phone.
I received the same message when I tried someone elses sim who also states they have no pin number.
Message being: "Network Unlock Request Un succussful"
So am I correct in my thinking that this phone is not unlocked? and or it is sim locked?
I just e-mailed the seller asking him if he had the unlock code for the phone,so I can now only wait for his response. In the past he was not very responsive to past e-mails
I have HTC Trophy with sim lock.
How to insert unlock code? Phone does not ask for code with non accepted sim card. Only message on screen "Invalid SIM".
Hi Tigran80,
I can only think of 2 ways that you might be able to do this:
- Try removing the sim card and turning on the phone then select emergency calls only and enter the unlock codes (by dialiing the number?)
- Otherwise you may need to flash your phone with an original firmware etc... This means you will lose all your saved phones etc unless you backed up your stuff (synced with zune). Yyou will need to look up what type of carrier your phone has and then using Ansars roms (some of them have issues updating to the lastest phone update so you can also try looking up wickedpengiuns guide to HSPL and RSPL (I've given him a quick guide on to use this tool which should help you).
P.S. Some phones can be traced using windows phone live so I hope this phone is yours (not that I'm accussing you)

Hi guys, i hope you can help me with this one.
I bought a D802 from AliExpress, but when i tried entering my sim i found out it couldn't get any signal even though it works just fine on my nexus 4.
i tried 2945#*802# to check the sim unlock process and got the next message: "The phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked".
I can't enter an unlock code even if i want to. It doesn't give me the option. i can only dismiss the message.
I tried factory reset, rom switching, and radio flashing, none of them worked.
I opened a dispute in Aliexpress, but in the meanwhile i want to try and unlock it anyway, and maybe save the trouble of buying a new one and wait for a month all over again.
Can anyone help and maybe knows how to bypass it?
