Hello, I am new here...
Help!!!,
I've bought a Cingular hw6920 and I would like to use it when I travel, with local SIM cards.
The phone is obviously locked and when I try to use another SIM, it shows the message "Network is locked, please input unlock code".
Since I have a Cingular account, I've asked for the code, but after sending them the IMEI (correct), they have replied that they cannot find it!
Same thing happened when I've tried to get the code through one of the pay services.
Any suggestion? I can't return or exchange the phone since I left it to my brother in Europe.
The phone has never been turned on in the US with a Cingular SIM, could this be the problem?
Thanks

I have a t-mobile dash with WM6, and it is simlocked, is there any program or method to sim unlock the phone? DIY
thanks
Call T-Mobile and request an unlock code.
or you can download this SDA unlock... you can find the program if you google it man... it should not be hard to do so...
you wont find a free SIM unlocker (yet) unless you go through T-Mobile. The SDA unlock is for application unlock, it will not SIM unlock.
I try SDA unlock is not working, so how would i be able to get unlock code from t-mobile? thanks
what do i need to give them? receipt, bill., prove of purchase?
i did it, call the t-mobile company saying that i need to unlock the phone for oversea use, give them IMEI and email, two days later they email me back the code. Question is the code unlock both sim and cid, or just sim, how would i be able to check whether it is CID unlock? thanks
When you called T-Mobile, did they ask for a phone number or any kind of account numbers? I don't have a T-mobile phone number, so calling them for the code may be a problem.
you have to be t-mobile account holder, if you don't have one get a friend who use t-mobile to call for you. They will not ask you anything much (saying you are going oversea and want to use the phone there), just your email and phone IMEI.
I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong place; but I've gone just about everywhere else looking for help...
I'm in the USA; and I've got an O2 Cocoon - I'm trying to find out if it's got a simlock on it, or if it's just messed up.
The major problem is that it absolutely refuses to make or accept calls, texts, mms... anything.
The phone is set up for my network (Unicel) with what I'm reasonably sure are the correct settings. It gets bars of signal, and when I search for available networks, it finds a 2G Vstream. When I have new voicemail; the new message icon even displays on the Cocoon, and after switching the sim to a phone that does work & checking the voicemail, the new message icon on the Cocoon goes away.
It constantly displays "SOS Call Only" underneath the signal bars; even though it's usually getting 3-5 bars of signal, and whenever I try to connect to the 2G Vstream that it sees in Network Connections, or make a call / send a text; it says "Network Failure".
Does anyone think the phone might actually be simlocked, even though it's not asking for a subsidy code or anything? If so; how do I access the area of the phones software where I can input an unlock code once I buy one?
I'd really like to get this phone working; however I don't want to spend the $40 on an unlock code for the thing if I'm not even sure that it's going to solve my problem.

Sweet! That's exactly the type of answer I've been looking for. I've been shooting emails back & forth with O2 support; the one I most recently sent them I straight out asked for the code & explained my situation - if they don't give it to me in their reply, I'll just buy one now.
Chris, Do you know the sequence / code whatever that I have to enter in order to get to where the phone asks for the code?
My only experience with unlocking is a couple of Motorola Razrs; and those won't let you do anything at all with a different sim if they're locked - they just prompt you on startup.
Hopefully deblocage-htc.com 's turnaround time to send the code to me is fast; I can't wait to start using this phone... it's so, awesome.
OK; so after sending deblocage-htc.com about 3 emails asking them how to enter the subsidy code on this phone; they finally responded with one that wasn't an advertisement -
"Dear Sir,
Your phone must ask to enter the Unlocking Code just after entering the PIN Code of your SIM Card"
The phone isn't asking me to enter the subsidy code after I enter my Sim Pin. Lot of good buying an unlock code is going to do me if no one seems to know how to enter the code into the phone
EDIT: Wait, does that mean I just enter the unlock code directly from the home screen of the phone, then?
want to help mate but the info I have is that if you enter a non o2 sim will ask for the code
02 cocoon start up only
hi mates i have 02 cocoon here. the problem is when i turn it on only star up continuesly not booting.
how can i program this or hard reset?
pls help me.tia.............
The phone is definitely not locked. It works just fine with an AT&T simcard borrowed from a friend, but does not work with a Unicel sim. It doesn't prompt me to enter a subsidy/unlock code when I turn it on.
I thought it might not be compatible with GSM 850, because we only get 850 where I live - but when I'm roaming in NY or PA or anywhere in between, and there's loads of 1900 signal as well, it still doesn't work with my Unicel simcard. The phone sees bars of signal, and it knows when I have a missed call or a new text message; but it won't let me call out or receive calls or text messages or do anything useful like that.
Is there a way to free sim unlock my HTC Wildfire?
Mabye
Well my brother has a ZTE Racer and found a website via google that makes your phone sim free for free (lol) but i dunno if theres a site like it for htc mobiles
HTC wildfire
Hope someone can help!
I got my brother in law htc wildfire.
And got a code to open it up to any network.
We got the code from an internet site called GSMliberty, the code has worked to a degree.
It receives calls and can make them, the time is right, and the internet works over wi-fi of course.
But it will not connect to the internet on its own ie 3g.
The phone was locked to 3 and I have tried 2 different sim cards in, orange and t-mobile, both have unlimited data plans.
I have changed the apn setting to match each network/carrier and all I get is connection failed.
I have called and emailed the code people who say it is down to the data set up.
I have been in touch with t-mobile his the network/carrier he wants and they have talked us through it, as have htc help centre but to no avail.
However if we put a 3 sim back in, it connects to the internet, swap it back and change the internet setting to the network required and won't work.
Does anyone have any ideas or help?
It has not been rooted or messed with, just the unlock code.
Kindest regards
Shaun

you may have to try give a different unlock code a bash pal.
Hi Guys long time learcher, first time poster so please be kind if my n00bness starts to shine through.
So recently I brought a Tesco Branded Wildfire S A510e (believe 2012 model) second-hand. As soon as it came I used this site with my Macbook Air and got the phone bootloader unlocked, recovery finally installed and lastly flashed a nice custom rom with a new kernel.
My new network SIM card came through today, i decided to go with giffgaff because like tesco they are actually using the O2 network so I thought the SIM card would be compatible with the handset but alas as soon as I booted into my phone I was greeted with a SIM network unlock PIN prompt.
I done a bit of research and I discovered that my phone is SIM-LOCKED (if thats what S-ON means??) and to get it off I need to buy some kind of XTC Clip but unfortunately am feeling the pinch at the mo so I can't afford to order one. Instead I paid for a network unlock code from mobileunlocked.com (had used them before with a locked blackberry). I sent them my IMEI number, paid and waited for about 10 minutes and my unlock code arrived.
Eagerly I entered the code and it was accepted, the phone then displayed my menu screen etc. But I also noticed that I have no signal on the phone, i tried to scan for the network but I just got a "Error while searching for networks", I thought it might need a reboot so I did.
But when it booted up it asked me for the network unlock code again, I entered it again, it was accepted and the phone then displayed my menu screen but once again no signal, I tried to search for the network and once again same Error while searching message.
I shutdown the phone and manage to borrow my sons Tesco SIM to test, popped it in and turned it on. No code asked for, booted straight into the menu and looked, the phone has signal.
Tried my GiffGaff SIM again and still same problem. If I wait a message does pop up saying "mobile registered on network" but when I try to search for a network carrier a search prompt pops up for about half-a-second but then closes, No network operators are listed.
Has anyone else ever had this kind of problem??
Any feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks for reading.
I don't see where you activated the SIM that you got from GiffGaff. If you didn't, go to their site and click on, "Activate SIM" and follow the prompts.
Hello there,
Exactly the same thing happened to me yesterday also with a Wildfire S, and I found a way around it.
I flashed a stock ROM (Gingerbread, HTC Sense), and entered the unlock code, which actually unlocked the phone (calls and all).
After that I re-flashed the custom ROM I'd used previously and didn't get prompted for a code, the phone is still unlocked.
"SIM Suddenly *Perso* Locked?!" <-- (Thread Tittle Typo)
Hello XDA. Mayhaps you can help me solve a problem that came out of literally nowhere.
I'm using an AT&T Galaxy Note II on Metro PCS with Cyanogenmod 13, and I have been using this setup for a few months now with almost no issues. Now don't get me wrong, I've had some hiccups here and there. Random reboots, camera issues, once I even lost ALL of my personal data for seemingly no reason at all.
Right this very moment, however, my phone just randomly rebooted, which I'm used to, but upon unlocking my phone after startup all I get is "Unlock Sim Network Pin" - "Sim Perso Locked Emergency Calls Only"
I have NO idea what is going on or why this happened in the first place. I don't have the slightest clue on how to fix this at this hour other than paying for an unlock code from a third party, but there's no way I'm doing that! Please help.
TL;DR
My phone rebooted and now the SIM is locked for no reason. Pls hlp
How did you sim unlock the phone in order to use Metro PCS? You mean the sim is locked in that the sim card is asking for a pin?

When I bought the phone off of a friend they asked at&t to unlock it and they obliged.
Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Every time I restart the phone it asks for a pin to unlock SIM.
I'll update with screenshots.
Once the phone is unlocked via code, it should be permanently network unlocked. Do you still have the unlock code?
If the sim is asking for a pin, sounds like a setting in the security may have been changed to prompt for a pin. Did you try entering 1234 or 0000?
Same thing just happened to me, what was your solution? Phone worked fine yesterday, powered down from battery use, when I plugged it back /charged it, it was doing the perso lock thing.
