I got my unlock code from ATT but I can not seem to find a way to unlock it, either with the ATT sim in or a TMobile one. Previously using methods here on XDA I was able to unlock the SIM lock; the Subset lock; the SP lock and the Corporate lock. Going into Diagnosis all of those locks are disabled. However, the Network lock is still enabled. When I put in the unlock code and excute, I keep getting the message of incorrect password.
How can I remove the Network lock???

Have you tried this? (Network Unlock section on Wiki)
Also, how many times have you tried already? You might need an "unfreeze" code if the unlock code provided was wrongly introduced 3 times... (which is different from the NCK code)

My Sim Lock already reads Disabled in the Diagnosis Menu. Only Network Lock shows as Enabled.

Same thing buddy. SIM PIN is not SIM (un)Lock
Quoting from the wiki:
How to unlock with code (IMEI dependent):
1. Open Diagnosis (enter ##634# in dialer)
2. In Diagnosis type *#7465625# to enter Locks menu (carrier/network etc) and enter in "Network Lock"
3. In the "Enter NCK" box type your code and press Execute
That should unlock your phone.

I guess I was unclear. That is EXACTLY what I have been doing. When in Network Lock and type the code in NCK, then press Execute, I get the message Incorrect Password.
What password? Where?

Looks like you've tried this too many times and you need an unfreeze code or a MCK code.
PCK - Provider Code Key (SIM lock)
NCK - Network Lock (Network Lock - IMEI dependant)
SCK - Special Code Key (Provided/set by manufacturer)
SPCK - Special Provider Code Key (Master unlock code by device carrier)
MCK - Misuse Code Key (Un/Freeze code)
I think AT&T can only give you the NCK. You might be able to drop it in the shop and ask to get it unlocked (they do have the SPCK) but they might refuse.

My wife talked to a tech at ATT and he gave her some instructions for unlocking her SX56.
1) Insert a blank SIM
2) Power up unit and enter the 8 digit unlock code.
I think these instructions were either incomplete or bogus. When we put in a blank SIM the SX56 asked for a PIN number and not an unlock code. The unlock code did not work in the place of he PIN number.
Is it possible to unlock this way?
I dont know what you mean by a blank sim, just put a sim from any other provider. I think the pin you were asked for is your sim card pin number, if you enter this wrongly too many times it will block the sim. You need to enter your pin, then you will be asked for sid code, that is where you enter the code.
Hello
I recently bought myself Samsung SCH-I770 phone which has Windows Mobile 6.1 operation system.
My problem is that it's network/sim locked. I cannot use it with my country SIM card.
Though, there's code entering option under "Phone->Settings->Security-SIM Lock". 6 digit code and it gives the answer "Lock code and Input code do not match." after I enter the WRONG code. I think it checks the code which is written somewhere on the memory of phone.
Now - my question is. Would it be possible to BRUTE FORCE the password using that option? 6 digit code (numbers) is only 1 million possibilities - shouldn't take THAT long for a program to process.
Thank you in advance,

PS: I have checked unlock softwares which are posted on this forum, but non seemed to be working.

Most phones lock permanently after 10-30 failed attempts to unlock. Some don't, so if you have good typing skills and memory, trying all combinations will only take you a "little while".
So critical. I think follow instructions of 'stepw'
Isn't there a risk that somebody might "try" to unlock the phone and it will be locked forever? How could one unlock the phone from being locked forever?
Like PUK code for SIM card, when SIM is locked by trying to enter PIN codes too many.
Hey guys
I purchased a Telus Optimus 7 phone and I'm trying to unlock it. I got the code from a specific website... but when I put in my SIM card (from another provider) the phone prompts that "the sim is locked and you need a PUK". I got the PUK from my service provider but when I enter it... it gives me a SIM ERROR message. I know that the phone is suppose to prompt me to "enter pin" but it doesnt do it. Am I doing something wrong ?
Everyone looking to unlock their LG Optimus 7, heed my warning!
DO NOT ENTER A WRONG UNLOCK CODE MORE THAN 2 TIMES! IT WILL LOCK ITSELF ON THE WRONG 3RD ATTEMPT.
If you do, it's really locked and needs to be either re-sent to LG/carrier or completely re-flashed. The PUK it's asking is "Phone Unlock Key", not "PIN Unlock Key". Which means the phone itself is "locked" not NCK locked.
Btw, same thing happened to me.
whoa... think that in his case is the Personal unlocking code, not the Phone unlocking code... if u put the original SIM card the phone works? if so, or the SIM that ask you the PUK is fried or you just really don't have unlocked the phone
I've purchased an unlock code but it's asking for a PUK Key as well. How do I figure this out? Google hasn't helped. Is this a key Telus can provide? Or do I need a new SIM card (could mine have some kind of lock on it?)
Thanks!
I have tha same problem, does any one how to make my phone works, or to find a PHONE unlock key(PUK) without contacting AT&T (the original's phone carrier) because I don't use AT&T service, but I want to unlock my phone ... my LG quantum says ''your phone is locked, contact you service provider for an unlock code''
Today I got the code to unlock my phone for all companies, I have the PIN unlock code, NCK and MCK, the problem happens when I enter the PIN code and tells me "Network unlock unsuccessful", I am 100% sure that the PIN is correct, then I can't do more, help please. Could unlock it with the soft method in the forum, but if I have the unlock code, I guess it's better in the normal way. I'm Epsylon 12feb CM7.2.

Try to do it on stock rom...
If u do it with the softunlock it will fail!
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium
Soft unlock works, I've using this method for 4 month with CM7, but with some roms this method doesn't work. I'll try it on stock rom later.
I think he means entering the code when you are on stock rom. Don't know if it's gonna help. You could try.
First, insert your SIM-card into another (already unlocked) phone, and turn PIN-security off.
Then insert SIM back into your Defy, and try enter Network unlock code.

The SIM-card, is without PIN, i don't know why is asking me for a code, I'm using soft unlock with CM7 right now, and i have no problems with my simcard, i'll try it later with stock rom, it should work.
I'm now in stock ROM, CEE deblur, and still not working, still asking me for "SIM network unlock PIN", i put in the PIN code and "network unlock request unsuccessful". I'll try if the soft unlock works on White Rabbit.

Hello,
I have an I9300 under the latest Omnirom nightly
I got the unlock code from my mobile operator/ So when I insert a foreign SIM, it requires me to fill it, which I do, but it returns an error saying that the network unlocking was unsuccessful.
I've tryed using dial codes like:
#7465625*638*XXXXXXXX# (XXXXXXXX being the actual code) to unlock SIM network, but it says "Connection issue or invalide HMI code
*#*#197328640#*#* to run service menu and get to the network lock menu, but it says that "MENU NOT EXIST PRESS BACK KEY Current Command is 186"
I've also tryed using GalaxSim Unlock application but it 's unable to actually unlock my phone because it says the blocking system is not yet supported.
I'm running out of ideas to unlock SIM network on my phone, so any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

You probably have to be on the stock ROM to unlock.

Is this some kind of bug that might be fixed in the future?
