Hi,
I purchased a MyTouch over ebay which was locked initially. Somehow I reseted the phone and I am into Google screen now without any data access.
I inserted my sim card and it asked for unlock code which I entered successfully (code procured from unlockingonline).
However, still I am stuck at google screen. It does not offer any option to setup APN or WiFi so I can't make any progress. It's kind of a deadlock situation. I tried to turn it off and on again without any success.
What can I do now? Please help.
Thanks
Press the menu button, it will allow you to change your APN.
Thanks AdrianK. It did help.
I have network/sim unlocked my Vibrant and it works fine. However, I have had to re-enter it at least 3 times. All of these times it was after a reboot that was done because the phone was locked up or because an app was frozen. After the reboot, it would ask for the sim unlock again. I can enter it and it unlocks and works fine until I have to reboot under the same circumstances. Normal reboots do not cause a problem, only the ones where an app or the phone is frozen.
I thought that once it was unlocked, it was unlocked permanently. Is there a preferred way to enter the unlock code? I am entering it at boot up with a non TMobile sim when it asks for it. Is there a way in the OS that would make it "stick".
Very strange...After searching a bit I have not found any mention of a similar situation.
Thanks for any info.
Hello,
I just unlock my G2 by using the SIM card that might be unavailable anymore, the system shows that the unlock code is correct and unlock success, will reboot immediately, so I press OK to continued but it didn't reboot, I'm stock in this mode(not sure how to say that), it takes almost 15min and it still not reboot yet
Is it because using the SIM card that is unavailable or is any other reason?
is it ok if I just take off the battery and reboot again?
thank a lot!
English is not my native language...I hope I made my question clear
Happen to me. I took the battery out, and then try again

I too experienced this, however it worked after removing the battery. But still "No Netrwork service" after..
Hi, I recently imported a Motorla Atrix 4G from US to India. While trying to unlock it mistakenly I entered the wrong unlock code. I wasn't aware that only 10 attempts are allowed and thus I find myself locked out.
I did a hardreset - volume + power button. However, I still can't unlock after hard reset. During the process I see one strange command "E:can't open cache/recovery/command" - do I need to clear cache too...
I will be grateful if anyone can help me out.
thanks
Need to call AT&T I believe. They will probably give you a hard time though.
I have updated my 2.1 to 2.3.4 swift v2 m6 based on cyangenmod 7.1.0 RCO.
Love the ROM
Issues, I paid for the optus unlock code and have to put in 2945#*520# to put in the provided code. The error comes up Connection problem or invalid MMI code.
I have spent a couple of days looking at different forums and solutions, tried extra pauses etc and still the same issues. One suggested going back to original ROM and trying that, however another issue I have is the phone will not boot back into recovery or bootloader, just turn off and stays that way. I have held different buttons as stated in different threads and even hopped on one foot.
I am happy with this ROM just want to get to the unlock menu, any ideas that I might have missed??
Cheers Ernie
Do you have fastboot, the unlock ccode only works on 1.6 official btw
i think it works on 2.1 too as long as the rom has the hidden menu. so best is to try boot into fastboot via power and camera button. (try holding it very hard and long till the black screen appears) and flash any 2.1 rom
No good
Tried the power camera buttons never worked. Is there a fastboot 2.1 file that was like the 2.3 file that you just double clicked on and it installed the new android? So I can just click on the file 2.1 and it will load up?
Ebay? hope not
Or is there another unlocking solution apart from trying to down grade my android, is there a network unlock that can be performed with other software?
Cheers for any help.
I am not really an optus fan and like to use whatever sim I like at the time, I suppose if I can not unlock the carrier it will go to ebay.
When I power off the phone it gives me the option to shut down, recovery etc however if I choose other than to turn it off it will not reboot.
hmmm rambling now

Either flash via KDZ method a 2.1 rom.
Or
Find in development threads thers a recovery zip for 2.1.

Warning
Just a warning, if you get one of these phones network locked, unlock it before upgrading the android.
I have spent a week on this trying to downgrade to 2.1 so I can get to the unlock menu.
I have followed directions from many sites and flashed using kdz, have put recovery on using command prompt, use solution to get the phone to show up menus. Where I fall down is I can not get past the selection where the forums tell me to hold power/camera or other buttons and a menu will come up and give options to select install from sdcard. No matter what I do I can not get to that section??
This is really frustrating me, I have tried so many solution.
However, each time I fail and the phone is black, I just load the recovery with kdz and then click on Android234GT540_06-06-11_eng and this last file auto installs 2.3.4, wonderful, so is there a file like this for 2.1?? if so I pretty sure I can then downgrade then get to the unlock menu.
Or is there another network unlock solution.
Please help
Ernie
Solved
You are the man, thank you sooooooo much, two weeks on getting the downgrade working and this works a treat.
After downgrade I was able to get into the unlock menu and was able to enter the unlock code, I am so happy for your post.

It does not cause a problem to downgrade to 2.1 without fastboot, I have done that several times. All you have to focus on is the following:
after doing "fastboot -w" turn the phone off. And DO NOT TURN IT ON AGAIN. Remove the battery, sim and SD. Hold the camera + power and then plug the phone to usb it will run into download mode. Run the KDZ updater with CS Emergency mode and flash whatever 20A rom you can have. Before the update ends, it will reboot and ask you to insert the battery. Do not unplug the phone until the KDZ updater gives you the ======= finished ====== message.
I hope this helps.

If your phone has model# 540 then you should dial 2945#*540# not 2945#*520#, i.e. the final three digits should be the model number. Otherwise you will get the error you mentioned.
