Hi,
I have the unlock code for my s7 edge but upon putting in a different network sim card, it does not offer me the option of entering a code. It only offers me some automated service which doesn't work work. I've googled it and dialed a code which supposedly promote the code but that did not work either. Any ideas? Thanks.
Give this a shot.
Try entering #7465625*638*# into your dialer. It should force the prompt.

Thanks for the reply. I tried that and the numbers just disappear. I'm guessing it's because I'm on a custom rom. Will flash back a stock ROM backup and give that ago at some point. I'm sure that's why, thanks

There was no need to purchase the code as there are several threads here on how to menu unlock it. But since we are beyond that, I'm guessing the other SIM is not provisioned and has no service on it. Try using a friends T-mobile SIM. That's how I was able to check the menu unlock method.

Thank you for your answer.
I used a regular size Vodafone SIM which I just used in Europe last month, on my other phone, so that SIM should be ok.
However I used a SIM cutter to transform in into a microSIM . Visually looks ok too. Could it be that in this process the SIM (now microSIM) got damaged somehow?
When I first insert it, I was prompted for the unlock code, which I typed, got an ok message, but that's about it.
Now says "emergency calls only" and it does NOT prompt me for the unlock code anymore.
Original ATT SIM works just fine.
There's more: I just put that Vodafone microSIM into my wife's phone (which is unlocked) and it works fine.
So bottom line, I used an unlock code which apparently worked (got the message "network unlock successful") but the phone does not appear to be unlocked.
I will definitely try a T-mobile SIM as soon as I find one, but in the meantime which is that "secret code" to check network status for this phone?
*#7465625# does not work and returns "connection problem or invalid MMI code"
Thank you
anybody has the answer to my question ?

Hi,
I have a Galaxy S4 i9505 lte that was locked to three Ireland, I unlocked it using the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683.
I put my meteor ireland sim card in the phone and it was not recognised, no pin request, nothing. I put my wife's meteor sim card in and it worked no problem, i put another meteor sim in and it worked no problem, both times asking for pin number.
I put my meteor sim in another phone and it worked no problem, even asking for a pin number.
I went to the meteor shop and exchanged my sim card in the hope it was the card and not the phone. I put the new sim card into the phone and it asked for a pin number but would not work, it worked in three different phones but not my phone and three different meteor sims worked in my phone no problem.
I tried different roms both times, stock-cyanogen-others, none worked with mine and all worked with the other sims, so I guess the phone is unlocked.
Am I missing something, maybe in *#0011# settings that my number is locked out of the phone even though it worked on Three Ireland.
I hope someone can help me.

You need to downgrade your modem. Read the last pages of that thread. There is all you need.
Possible try the setting in the hidden menu. I have the E300K I put a different Sim card and it would not register. I went into the hidden menus and changed some of the settings and forced it to read the card and change carriers. I can't tell you exactly what they were I don't have the phone in front of me right now, I'm at work.....if you use *#0011#, you will need to hit back, then key enter, type Q0 and enter or Q000 and enter, wait about 10 seconds or so it will put you in the hidden menu, or you could type the main code and password. Not sure what it would be for your phone.
@2ndcarpenter: Misread the post? The OP had already tried the service menu unlock and found it didn't work. The reason? He didn't downgrade his modem, as mentioned about a half dozen times by me in that thread.
Hi,
Thanks for the replies, but I guess you did misread the post.
I done the guide, which I couldn't have done if I didn't have an older modem.
The unlock actually works with the other meteor sims, just not with my meteor sim, and the sim definitely works in other phones. The pin request I was talking about was the 4 digit sim security one, not the network unlock pin.
So I am still at a loss as to what is wrong.
We all likely misread your post. Now that you explained things however, it's become much more clear. Did you use the service menu method to unlock the S4, or did you use RegionLock Away? The possibility exists that the service menu method may have triggered the SIM pin. If that is the case, then you need to go back into the service menu and set Perso SHA 256 to its original setting. From there, root and run RegionLock Away. If you ran RegionLock Away and it did this, you may be stuck. RegionLock Away's ability to completely unlock the phone is an unintended side effect of its real function, which is to remove Samsung's regional lock list. Chainfire doesn't provide support for the unintended side effect.
Hi,
I used the service menu method to unlock, I will try regionlockaway and see if that maybe will make a difference.
I am already rooted on lollipop but do you think I should downgrade modem again and then run regionlockaway.
Thanks.
Downgrading is required for either unlock method to work.

Did I misread the post? No, I saw a link which I did not check, and I saw that he 'tried' *#0011#, but I didn't see that he was able to get to the hidden menu. *#0011# does not get you to the hidden menu, it gets you to a debug screen. But I'm sure an expert like yourself already knows that. So without a better explanation I wasn't sure exactly what he tried. I am only trying to offer advice to someone on a device that I don't even use anymore. I still own it and test various firmwares and kernels, but do not use for my daily driver. But between work and my CCNA certification class, I have very little time, so I will stick to what is more important.......me and my education.
Hi.
I bought a locked s8+ from Telcel México. I want it to use it on Att, I have the unlock aim code. The problem is when I instert the att sim I got a message "SIM network PIN blocked. Enter Sim network PUK." and a small lock blue icon. But I can't write anything, there is no keyboard option or anything. Any help? Thanks!
Have you tried another SIM card? Maybe read this: https://www.att.com/esupport/article.html#!/wireless/KM1000485

I just unlocked my phone this weekend. A number pad should have appeared. If you didn't turn off the phone to change the SIM try restarting. If that doesn't work try a different card.

Tried 2 different cards and had the same screen.
Now I flashed a new rom, that screen disappeared but now when I insert a new sim car got a new screen and now I can write the numbers. The problem is that I don't have the PUK code, I think that I need an unfreeze code, anyone knows how can i get that code? Or how can i unlock my phone?
Thank you!
Same **** with mine.

I got S8+ from f#c!¢n Telcel and paid for the Network Unlock code and have the same screen with the blue icon and cant do **** about it. With the new ROM ( Which one did you flash ) did you have any luck, have you unlocked your phone ?

You need the PUK code for the new sim card - most print this on the card that you popped the sim out of. If you don't have the original outer card, then call the carrier for the NEW sim card you are trying to use and they should be able to help you.
Hi.
I have purchased an unlock code from samsungsimunlock but my phone is still SIM locked. They sent me code along with a link to an app to download called Network Unlock app. I ran the app, entered the code, get a message saying phone is perma unlocked but when I insert a non Vodafone SIM, the phone, not the app, asks me for the SIM unlock code.
EDIT: Phone details:
Locked to Vodafone UK
Galaxy S8 SM-G950F
Android 7.0
Baseband version: G950FXXU1AQH3
Knox 2.8
I had rooted my phone and as the instructions from SSU said to, I removed the root and returned the phone back to stock (as far as I know)
Can any one help with this please? Is the unlock possible after knox has been tripped?
I would really appreciate any help,
Thank you
Try log in to your Samsung Account on a Desktop then, reboot your phone. - Helped me out a few times when I've not been able to log in.

I can't see how this would help...
Put this in your dialer #7465625*638*# then try your code on the network unlock screen. See if that makes a difference
I have a ATT 930A that I successfully flashed with 930U and it works great. I was thinking of making sure it was SIM unlocked in case later I wanted to sell it, so I made a request of ATT for the unlock code but when I try it it tells me the unlock was unsuccessful. Do I need to go back to 930A to make the code work?
Probably yes
I don't think so. Just put in a non AT&T SIM and it's gonna ask for an unlock code

I did but the code att gave me didn't work.
So did the phone prompt for a SIM unlock code and you typed it in, got an error? What is the error? SIM lock should not change when you flash different ROMs yo the phone.

Yes, after entering the code it says "incorrect network unlock code entered"
I had this problem with my S7. I had paid off my contract however every time I tried input my IMEI number to the AT&T unlock device website it would tell my my IMEI is invalid. i contacted AT&T customer service directly and gave them my informatio. They had to put the case in for the unlock code themselves. Reason was since i didn't finish the 2 years even though i paid off my contract it got lost in the system hope this helps
