Hi,
I have got a Galaxy S5 G900F.
I managed to install Lineage 14.1 with root. Then I purchased SIM UNLOCK codes.
I did it the same way I did with a Galaxy Note 3. But the problem is the unlock code doesn't work with the S5:
I insert a simcard from a locked provider.
The phone asks for "SIM network unlock PIN"
I enter the code and and touch "unlock"
"SIM Network unlock successful" appears
But after a few seconds the "SIM network unlock PIN" prompt pops up again.
No matter which code I enter "unlock successful" appears but it doesn't work.
Do I need to have stock rom for sim unlock?
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you!
I have found the solution. Flashing back to stock rom, then enter the unlock code there, afterwards flash to LineageOS14 and it everything is working

Hello,
I try to sim unlock a Wizard G4 of my friend. I already flashed the touch HD rom on it and it works, but I can't unlock the device. I already have the correct unlock code, but it loops or something. First i need to enter my pin, then i get the unlock stuff, then I put in unlock code, but then it goes back to pin again, and again. I am confused , can anyone help?
Use 'lokiwiz03a' tool again to generate a new SIM unlock code and than try again,hope it works this time
I already fixed it . The code was totally correct, but I tried to unlock it on a custom wm 6.1 rom isntead of the original rom of the telephone, so it didn't work. I downloaded the original latest rom of the phone and then put in the unlock code and voila, unlocked!
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 have a Rogers Samsung Focus and I purchased an unlock code. When I insert my Fido sim card it doesn't prompt me to enter a unlock code but my phone says "sim error". I tried using the secondary option "#7465625*638*CODE#" and it doesn't do anything not even invalid code. Am I missing a step? Please help
that's strange. rogers & fido are basically the same network now. I've been able to swap sim cards between them without unlocking. maybe there is a problem with your sim. sorry I cant help more.

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.
