Hi All,
I purchased a Siemens T-mobile unlocked phone on eBay, and just received it.
The phone is not unlocked and it doen not reads my current SIM ,
however on the face of the phone there is one sticker that says , "UNLOCK CODE xxxxxxxx" There is an eight digit number which is the unlocking code i guess.
I wanted to know how to go about unlocking the phone.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

SX56 unlocking
The SX56 is a HTC Wallaby, if I remember right. Since you have an "unlock code" on the device, give that a go first. Insert a sim card that it should not work with (due to the simlock) and start the device. It should then ask for the unlock code. Enter the 8-digit code. If it's accepted, you are done.
I used to have an SX56 (among other wallabies). Some were locked, but I never unlocked any of them with a code. You can do it without that. Grab the "special" rom from the FTP here (/Wallaby/ROM/) and flash it on the device. When it boots up for the first time, it will ask if you want to unlock the phone. Click yes, and it's done. After that you can flash any other rom you like, the lock doesn't come back.
There is also a simple exe that you can run on the device to do the same thing, but some files need to be present on the pda, so it might not work with the current rom.
In any case, you should be able to do it, especially with the code and all.
I want that program please

I am using lokiwiz unlocking software and procedure on my Cingular 8125 with 2.25 firmware. The problem is that my unlock code is "SIMLock Code" but when I try to enter that into my phone when prompted for an unlock code, the provided space isn't large enough. All I can enter is "SIMLock ". What am I doing wrong?
Get the latest version of lokiwiz - HTC Wizard Unlocker. I think its version 0.2b. from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474. it will unlock for you. Read the instructions carefully and know what you are doing.
It will all be done and is really simple if you ask me
on the screen, look for SIMlockCode, and it the NUMBERS that you enter.
I just unlocked mine about an hour ago, so i know it works
again its the nubers listed NEXT to simlockcode halfway down the screen
Ok, so I'm sure someone will say this has been answered 100 times but I can't find it in the forums.
I have a locked T-Mobile Wing. I tried entering unlock codes but I guess I entered wrong codes enough that it's really locked. It boots to a screen asking for the Password to unlock (only shows a numpad on screen) and Active Sync won't connect to it (it says I have to unlock the device before it connects).
Hence, I'm not able to run the ROM loader tools which require me to install a CAB file on the device first.
Anyone have a solution to this?

you could just call tmobile and tell them what happened?
I'm sure they might have a way to unlock it.

Yeah.... I bought the phone on eBay. T-Mo says I need to be the original customer in order for them to provide me an unlock code.
Is there a way or app that I can use on this phone so that I can view my SIM Unlock Code AFTER the phone is already SIM Unlocked?
I ask because I bought two of these phones unlocked and would like to have the Unlock codes saved just in case I need them later.
Somehow I seem to have messed up or lost my unlock on one of the phones after I rooted it and flashed a new recovery / rom.
It was unlocked, now, If I put an ATT sim in it asks for my unlock code again and I do not have it, as the phone was unlocked when I got it.
Though, when I press *#7465625# to it says all the locks are turned off, like my phone should be unlocked?
Any idea why it is asking for my unlock code again, and if there is a way to get around it being that the phone was unlocked?
Is there a way to recover this unlock code?
Thanks guys!

Currently there isn't a way to view the code. Several of us have been digging through the system of the device to see where it's coded too. the thread here is where it's being conversed about. click here
How do you know for certain the phones were unlocked when you bought it? Did you try swapping Sims before you flashed anything to it?
I have mine unlocked and have flashed; two roms, cwm, a radio, and a few mods......still unlocked. I constantly swap Sims between my crap work phone and my Samsung, always works.

The person I bought both phones from told me they were both unlocked.
The first one I tried worked, the second one I never tried an ATT Sim until after I rooted, flashed, etc and then it wouldn't work.
He emailed just emailed me the Unlock codes for both phones and they work fine.
Either way, it's all good now. Thanks for the help guys!

Is there an alternate way to enter the SIM unlock code (other than booting phone with unsupported sim inserted)?
For older/other phones there was a code like *smth*#UNLOCKCODE*# etc; wondering if something similar is available for this phone.
Thanks,
Mike
You need to contact with your career and them gives you a specific code. In my case (orange) i have this code without problems. Small charge required for that. This method take off simlock permanently

Yes, I already have the code you mention. I was just wondering if there's another way to enter it (not via the SIM Unlock screen).
I think this is only way to do that. I had sgs2 earlier and there was another way to unlocked phone without code and was very easy (by app). But here i dont have so much knowlege with simlock unlocking
Hello! I've been trying to figure out how to sim unlock my phones for quite a while now. I've asked everywhere, even unlocking sites how they get these codes (to no avail of course) and I never tried asking here for some reason. I want to learn how it's done, and how I can do it myself. My Dad jumps from phone to phone and always needs to get them unlocked. I don't want to pay for them anymore, I'd rather do them myself!
I just found this thread: [TUTORIAL] Unlock Samsung [GT-S5570 / i5500 / Galaxy Ace] which will help me unlock my aunt's phone which is nice I guess, but it looks to be a Samsung only method. Am I able to use a similar method with a phone that has an EFS folder? Is it in the nv_data file? How do unlocking websites retrieve the unlock code with just the model, network and imei? Do they simply ask the carrier?
I'd love for any sort of help! Just a guiding light, a path to follow, anything! Please and thank you!
Some phones can be unlocked using software exploits however most require a unlock code that is generated based on the imei as far as I know you can not generate these codes yourself
The short answer is that there are very few ways to get free unlock codes for phones these days. Samsung sometimes leaves system directories wide open which allows for a few tweaks to get the phone unlocked, but most other manufacturers have things locked down pretty tight.
The databases from SIM unlock services are filled with unlock codes which they purchase from manufacturers or component makers.
They have a app now that does it on the market but for how long who knows. U have to b rooted for it to work
unlock codes
Do you know what the name of that app is?
