Where to input unlock code.

to my luck, i got the unlock code for my htc s621 but i don't know where to put it. can someone please help? i'd really appreciate it. does the unlock code mean i can upgrade to wm6 or i still have to do something else? please tell me the instructions to input unlock code. thanks in advance.
p.s: i tried putting 3 old fido sim's with no access, i still didn't get any unlock code prompt etc - it just booted up and had no network access, that's all - i can't wait to put the unlock code in. is it possible to input the unlock code using the original sim i.e. rogers (it's a roger's locked phone).

also if i have the unlock code, can i use DASHV2Unlock from imei-check and make my own UNL file by putting in the code in a text file and putting the UNL extension or can someone help me make a UNL file as i already have the code. please help, thanks - i'm going crazy trying to figure this out, i have the unlock code but i don't know how to unlock it even though i put different network sim's - no unlock code prompt. phone's locked to rogers.
ok, i tried the text unl file, doesn't work - can someone guide me as to how can i make the UNL file, please - thanks.

where did you get the unlock code? don't they provide instructions?
the only way to flash a different rom is to cid unlock through imei check. if you haven't done that then you need to.

i got the unlock code from a member that's on gsm forum and xda developers - his names tupisdin. he was nice enough to provide the code but unfortunately, he didn't give me the instructions and i didn't pay - he gave it to me for free and it worked for a member of gsm forum, i need help, though - i want to try the unlock code but i don't know how to - i tried putting different sim cards from a different carrier, no luck, no unlock code prompt. so i'm wondering if someone can help me.

please help?

I hate to say it but it sounds like you leg got pulled. unless that guy has the program to generate the unlock code from your specific IMEI (in which case you would have had to give him your IMEI, which is a big no no, and could cost you lots of $$) then the code he gave you is false.
to SIM unlock your 620/621 the code is derived and generated off of your specific IMEI, so a general code will not work.
also, to get the prompt to put in the code, put in a foreign SIM into your 621 and it will ask you to unlock. that is where you input the SIM unlock code.
best of luck and i hope it works, though bout 99.9% chance it won't.

i did give him my imei. so it's a code that's generated off my imei. i'll try and get a foreign sim card and see what happens. thanks bro.

If i were you i'd be a little bit worried. if someone has your IMEI they can clone your phone and rack up a HUGE phone bill which you will be required to pay.
concerning the foreign SIM, foreign in this sense doesn't mean overseas etc... as long as it's a SIM that's not of your carrier it will initiate the sim unlock.

Incorrect. you have mixed up IMSI with IMEI. IMSI is property of SIM card and that's what can be really misused for that very purpose you were reffering to.

[GUIDE] Unlock you i927 for free

This method has been sent to me by android235, I can not personally attest that it is working so please if you do that, make sure you have a backup or odin to reinstall your phone
After root, use a file explorer.
I use the ES File Explorer downloaded from the market:
- Launch it
- Goto "Settings> File Settings". Be sure that Show hidden files is checked
- Also be sure is checked "Settings > Root Explorer"
- In "Settings > Home directory" write "/" (without the quotes)
explore the "efs" folder in the root
- move the following files in a backup folder somewhere to your internal SD card (you will need them if you want to restore later to original phone setup) : .nv_core.bak, .nv_core.bak.md5, .nv_data.bak, .nv_data.bak.md5, nv_data.bin, nv_data.bin.md5. Moving them they will be deleted from the efs folder (that's ok).
Reboot.
Now you will have it unlocked but with the generic IMEI.
Peace out.

Any way to restore the IMEI afterwards? Or is the simlock check based on the IMEI?

I suppose the files you saved are to restore if needed, for the rest I don't know as like I said did NOT try myself

Nah. I meant whether it is possible to restore IMEI while still having unlock. If I restore the files, the lock should be back. (My glide is unlocked, but thats not the point)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using XDA

I'd rather spend 25$ for an unlock key on Americanunlocker.com
(worked great for me)

In fact, I have tried to hack the nv_data.bin but seems that it is not the same as galaxy SII and galaxy S.
Although you will get unlocked (generic IMEI) when removed those files,
I highly recommand that you have to backup them in a very safe place. Otherwise if you encounter any problems, you have to sent back to AT&T / Rogers.

The method will work.. i had tested it earlier.. a generic imei will be assigned..
however some operators do not accept generic IMEI..

This method is perfect ! My phone accept the Free Mobile's SIM card and is recognized by Orange and Free Mobile's networks.
(It connects too on the two another french carriers when theses networks are too low, I don't know why and if the reason is the AT&T ROM or the unlock method. By the way, although I am connected I can't do anything.)

i don't like having a genric IMEI. will wait for anther method or just pay for an unlock key (when i get my device ofcurse )

What do you mean by generic IMEI? Is it all 0s? Does this mean that it will no longer be detected as a smartphone?

I just tried this method and it did work for me thank u
one Q is there any way to fix genric IMEI and keep unlock .
Edit: I restore my files from a back up and relock the phone ..went to ebay bought unlock code for about 8 dollars ..Done

I've done the same thing with another website -more expensive x-( (Fastgsm.com), although it worked.
The only problem though is that every now and then the phone asks me again for the network unlock code. This has forced me to carry a text message with the info on the phone. So far it has asked me 3 times the unlock code. Every time I input the same code received, every time it accepts it and gets unlocked. But I think this is strange, this is the first phone I had that this happens.

I'm very interested in this thread since i'm french, and about to buy a phone in the US to use it here, in France.
If i understand well, the trick for unlocking it by file deletion is a bad idea since generic IMEI are not too well accepted on french networks, and when you buy an unlock code, it keeps prompting you sometimes.
My other option is the myTouch 4G Slide, so i'd probably better go for it

incorrect unlock code from AT&T

i got two nokia lumina 900's, one unlock code that they provided was good, the second unlock code for the second phone is not good I got the unlock code from AT&T. However, it just doesn't work. When I was asked for an unlock code on Lumia 900, I input the 8 digits code, press Enter, and it said "incorrect PIN". I've called AT&T services tons of times, and it ends up that they asked me to call Nokia support. The IMEI I gave to them is 100% correct, and AT&T stated again and again they've given me the right unlock code. If anybody can help me with this i would greatly appreciate it, I am pretty much stuck right now and I don't want to sell it and for someone else to have the same problem. Thank you

I am also facing this stupid problem. The Unlock Code provided by AT&T is not working, I tried to unlock the phone with AT&T and non AT&T sim.
I even contacted Nokia Customer care and was redirected to AT&T. Nokia statement "Nokia is not responsible for the Lock and Unlock of the mobile. This is done by AT&T, and Nokia cannot help"
I tried contacting the AT&T customer care again and was told they cannot help me. If the code is not being accepted by the mobile, at&T is not responsible.
Stupid AT&T, will soon move to T-Mobile

Ask for a supervisor, and a case with the unlocking department.

Just try 2 attempts remaining. Then it say your sim card blocked. Now, you put your unlock code in and see what happend. I unlocked my phone successful with this method. Hope it will work with you.

Try Adding A Zero infront
I also got an unlock code from ATT which didn't sem right because it looked a number short. I had 10 attempts to play with. I tried 3 times with the code and each time it said it was wrong. Then I did something, I added "0"infront of the numbers they gave me and it worked. So I guess some unlockers do not consider the Zero a factor, but apparently the phone does. Just try that and see. Just my experience. Hope it helps some of you.

well mine is already 8 digit code , which starts with 0 . anyone got a correct code after the wrong code from at&t . share here please

Sea problem here, 4 websites gave me the same 8 digit code but its the incorrect one, ATT won't entertain me cause I am a non ATT Customer. Have 4 attempts remaining.
What do I do?

Even with AT&T customer care, the unlock code is not working. The Unlock code provided by the AT&T customer care does not work with my mobile.

Very simple dude, you get 10 tries to enter the right unlock code. Every time you try it says incorrect code which in fact is the right code.
You exhaust the your 10 permits by entering the code again and again, it will then ask you for the PUK code. That's when you again enter the code you have.
Voilà, your phone will be unlocked.
Hope this is clear

@pyk: I have the same situation as your. I am still waiting more than two weeks for the answer from AT&T, . Please confirm this method. Thank you very much!

First, delete the post where you posted the whole number. You should not put the whole number out there.
It's starts with a 35, so it is not one that was bought directly from Google. Those are the ones that are for sure unlockable.
If that phone came from EE, contact them. If it is not stolen and the contract is done they will unlock it. If it came from Verizon you won't be able to unlock it.
