[Q] Need help with Unlocking Optimus 7

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''

[Q] Having problems unlocking the MyTouch 3G(T-Mobile)

Hi all, I aready have the unlock code, I got it calling T-Mobile telling them I was going over seas, my problem is that when you insert a none t-mobile sim card example AT&T and you turn on your phone it will it supposed to bring an option so you can enter the code and unlock the cell phone, but these option dose not appear.
How can I make it appear so I can enter the unlock code?
is there any other way... do I have to use the factory reset?
another info its that this phone has never been rooted or unlocked
Thanks in advance for the help.

Help!! Network unlock unsuccessful

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.

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.

3 times PIN and 10 times PUK code ?
if yes you'll have to go to your provider
edit: or do you mean to unlock it with unlock code to use it with another sim card ??

I'm talkin' about unlock code to use it with another sim card

have you made it with a stock ROM ?

Yes, i did it on stock Orange PL Android 2.1-update1

Just flash fastboot with kdz and flash custom rom without simlock: all rom's here. I guess it should make it work out

[Q] How should I proceed to unlock SIM network on my I9300?

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?
