So my LG G2 bricked itself a couple of weeks back and I managed to get LG to 'repair' it and send it back to me, I got it back today and it's locked to Vodaphone (UK) and my SIM is on EE. I need to get an unlock code but unfortunately I can't seem to find a way to enter the code once I get it as the box which usually comes up when a non-accepted sim is inserted is not coming up! How can I unlock my phone to use my EE SIM?
Thank you in advance.

I got an unlock code from Vodafone. I followed the instructions, put in a different carriers SIM (Orange), boots the phone up and there's no prompt to unlock code. The phone boots normally and says no sim card is in. Has anyone had similar problems? Rang both VF and HTC and were unable to help! Does anyone have an idea of how to bring up the 'unlock' prompt?
Once you unlock the phone, it should bring up a keypad, or you should be able to bring up the keypad to dial in the unlock code. Hit OK afterwards, and it'll unlock the SIM. Just did it now.

I put in the new sim card, the phone boots as normal. I get no prompt to unlock it, neither does the keypad come up. It just says I have no sim inserted.
I have the same problem,when I put other sim not asking for unlocking code,do u find how to enter unlocking code?
I have the same issue. Did anyone ever get it figured out?
I'd really appreciate some help
Did you put in the sim card the wrong way?

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''
I bought a sim unlock code for my Here and entered it however it doesn't seem to have worked. The problem is that if I get a new one I now have nowhere to enter the code as when I put a new sim card in it just doesn't recognize it, Is there a way of getting the sim unlock box back up?
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.
I just purchased a used Huawei Ascend XT (H1611), and am trying to get it to work with my sim card (Life Wireless). I applied on AT&T official site and it was approved and within a few hours I received my unlock code. Next step was to power off the phone, enter my sim card and turn the phone back on so the unlock code screen would come up. I did and the unlock screen comes up as expected but I am unsure if it is the correct screen. I enter my unlock code provided by AT&T and it says it failed.
One thing I noticed is that instead of 'Unlock' code, it says 'Unblock' code. Not sure if there is a difference but obviously something is awry.
Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thanks in advance.
