Put a sim card from from another provider to your phone. Than it will ask you to put the unlock code.

It seems that people say to upgrade the rom and it should work.
Some older threads discussed this. The new rom is available at XDA-Wiki
Good luck!
I'm sitting here with my locked cavalier waiting for the unlock code to come to me!

I'll definitely consider ROM's upgrading. Thank you for the advice.
However, I'd like to post some feed-back about people behind http://www.x02ht-unlock.com/
( Dear forum admins, PLEASE do not remove this message. It's quite emotional, but I'm posting it to achieve one of two possible results. And every one of them is positive enough:
- people behind x02ht-unlock.com would hear me finally, and help to solve my problem (and, probably, I'm not the only one who has the same problem, but couldn't get any feedback via the support form);
=OR=
- someone wouldn't spend $50.00 for no result. )
Their support was more than terrible: they replied to all my questions promptly, but only until I finally sent them money for an unlock code ($50.00).
The current state: my phone is still not locked, and no one at support @ x02ht-unlock.com is willing to even talk to me on this problem.
I've done everything according to the instructions, but still get "SIM locked" message. I've sent them my problem's description (and even attached a screenshot), and no one replied to me. I sent problem description via email and using their "Send a question" form. Both both were left without _any_ reply.
It now seems to me, that they're cheating and the program never worked for anybody (someone on the internet can say it works, but who can be sure that he's not the person who receives money for that program?)
Even if the program is working, in fact, but they simply don't know how to solve my problem -- they could tell me about that and offer to return my money (because the program didn't its function). So, it's cheating anyway.
The worst thing is that PayPal won't cancel this transaction under any condition. Here's what they say:
We have completed our investigation of this case. No further action is
required by you at this time. We have denied this claim. As stated in

1. Power on phone with a non-original SIM card inserted
2. When prompted, enter unlock code you received from us
Attention! Use the onscreen keyboard and make sure that wireless mode is OFF.
3. Your cell phone is now unlocked
If you see a message Sim lock.. You can still make emergency calls your phone has a blocked counter due to several previous incorrectly entered unlock codes. Plug your phone in charger and wait about few minutes to few days until it allow you enter unlock ...
if tried 1 times = 30 minutes
if tried 2 times = 1 hours
if tried 3 times = 2 hours
if tried 4 times = 4 hours
if tried 5 times = 8 hours
if tried 6 times = 12 hours

Hello,
I bought a Samsung Captivate Glide i927 (Rogers), and it was locked. In my country, I went to a local phone shop and they unlocked the phone. But after 1 month of normal using, the phone was locked again. So I went again and unlock the phone for the second time. Unfortunatly, after 1 month of using, the phone was locked again. Why? I don't know.
It was after I was restarting the phone. The phone asked me to enter the PIN code as usual. I entered the PIN code that I usually enter which is 0000. The phone writes "code accepted" then after 1 second the phone shows a black screen in which I read that the PIN code is incorrect and I have to contact the provider. I can use the phone applications, but I can't call or send a text message. I always receive "Not registered on the network". When I write *#746562#, the phone give me a list of information in which I read "Network Lock [ON]".
How to unlock my phone Again? Where I have to get the unlocking code? Is it free? is it for 1 month or for ever? What is the problem in my phone? Is there a trusted website where I can buy the unlocking code forever?
I unlocked an SGH-I927R in a way that's kept the IMEI intact and that's not out of reach for anyone with a bit of technical ability. It does require ADB, a hex editor and either root or CWM.

This came way too late ... I used Fast-GSM ... it takes longer than usual, I don't get an actual unlock code but did it with my ACE as well.
Its a bit more expensive, but hook his app up via USB w/ debugging, run the unlock tool whamo. Unlimited ROM installed, rebooting etc. Cyangenmod and it stayed unlocked.
Now, also on my i927r (Rogers) same deal stays unlocked.
I do wish I had seen this thread earlier, great that there's free ways to unlock it and pull out the code. Big thanks for doing that write up!

This is the only thing left to solve for a working phone. AT&T branded E980, but trying to use another carrier. Entering code "2945#*980#" gets me to the "SIM unlock process" 5 category unlock screen. They are all clickable, but the message "Your phone is not personalized" pops up on all of them, with the unlock code area grayed out, & then a "dismiss" message pops up. I can't enter an unlock code in a grayed out screen. With all of the software available, there must be one that allows USB unlocking. Can someone please point me in the right direction, even if I have to pay to have it done.

What good is a code if you can't access the unlock screen because it's grayed out? BTW, I may have not been crystal clear in other started posts, but I did buy it unlocked, even though it wasn't what we would consider unlocked, & the vendor wont admit it wasn't fully unlocked. I made the mistake of having played with it since then (my mistake), figuring it was returnable, but can't get around the grayed out code unlock screen.
Then I don't know what to tell you bud ...... Keep searching

Sent the phone out for warranty service. Received it back a few days ago with a voided warranty & a SOL message. Not happy. Today I looked for a local business that could help out. It was a fun day running around to different cell phone stores that listed unlocking as a service. I finally found one that knew what they were doing. They claimed the phone was already unlocked, & tried an AT&T prepaid SIM to test it. After it passed that test, all it took was a call to Metro to register the IMEI on their network, & then entering the correct APN numbers. I now have a fully functioning E980. As for the seller & the warranty center, pretty obvious they don't have a clue & need some lessons on customer service.
So you needed the APN set lol

Ahhhh...... No. I figured out what the APN was from my other phone & entered it manually. It's the same one that's in there now, so it was a different problem causing the non-connection. The phone automatically found both AT&T, MPCS, & some other unidentifiable networks by searching. It wouldn't automatically connect, then it timed out. Then when the APN was manually entered it would save, but still wouldn't connect. It had to be registered manually with MPCS, through MPCS, & by MPCS. In fact, when I popped the SIM card in & started the phone, it would find MPCS, the company icon would briefly show on the screen, & then it would disconnect. After they registered the IMEI, it took a couple of minutes to find the phone over the network & connect. It's all good now.
Just so you know, if you are getting the "Your phone is not personalized" message, that means the phone is already network unlocked.

There was some confusion about that in other forum posts, because the wording wasn't exact compared known unlocked conditions. It can now be added to that group of known unlocked terms.
Hi,
I just purchased a used T-Mobile G3 that I will be using on AT&T. Does anyone have any pointers on how to SIM unlock it? Is there a preferred method, or preferred supplied on eBay for unlock codes?
Thanks,
Toby.

OK, so I bought a code there, and 5 hours later is still hasn't arrived. So I bought a code from these guys: http://www.imei-unlocker.com/ which did come through. However, there are no instructions, so I found some on YouTube for the G3, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TFWgPX5Al8
The trouble is, when I put in my AT&T SIM card into this T-Mobile phone and start it up, I am not prompted to unlock the phone at all. It starts right into Android and behaves like an unlocked phone except it says the network is locked when I try to make a call. That's it. No indication anywhere of how to access the unlocking mode. I'm stuck.
Edit: I found these instructions on T-Mobile's website, which confirm the method in the video:
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-11974
Edit #2: about half hour after I wrote this the unlock code came through from the first site. I still no idea how to get past not being prompted to unlock, though.
Thanks,
Toby.
OK, resolved, if it helps anyone.
I managed to find an alternative method somewhere else that doesn't rely on an alien SIM card prompting an unlock code.
So the code from unlockcode247.com did eventually arrive, but without any instructions. A couple of hours after ordering it I gave up and bought a code from somewhere else. The email with that code took about 20 hours (!) to arrive, despite their page saying it would take a maximum of 2 hours. Bah! At least it contained a range of instructions on different methods to unlock in addition to the basic one of putting in an alien SIM. Someone might find these useful:
Method #1 Go to the dial screen and press “2945#*model number#”
for example if its a p999 you enter “2945#*999#” or if its a p990 you enter “2945#*990#” etc…
[so that's 851 for my T-Mobile phone.]
Method #2 to the dial screen and press 2945#*71001# as if making a call, enter code when prompted
Method #3 Go to the dial screen and press *#865625# as if making a call, enter code when prompted

I do find it strange that the phone didn't react to an alien SIM, but oh well, it's great that there's another way around it. All unlocked fine now.
do not use imei-unlocker
I ordered 2 days ago from imei-unlocker but no response, i have sent them various emails but no response.
On the website It says delay for lg services. Maybe thats why?

Since this was a used phone it is possible that someone tried and failed unlocking it more than the maximum allowed tries.
I know whenever I have unlocked a phone, the prompt to unlock warns that you have x number of tries (I do not remember that number).
Also, I do not know if there is a way around it.

As long as you don't have any debt to T-Mobile don't they need to have a free solution to unlock your phone? For example if I called them right now they would unlock me for free even though I still have debt because I have had the phone for 6+ months. People got it unlocked through T-Mobile days after buying the phone by just saying they were going abroad.

I believe he has his unlock code. The problem is that when he boots up the phone with a different carrier's sim in it, it is not prompting him to enter an unlock code as it should.
Looking at my unlock instructions, I proposed the posibbility that someone tried and failed 10 times or more. Just guessing:
Read This First
* DO NOT use all attempts to enter the unlock code otherwise your phone will be hardlocked (all phones have at least 10 attempts)
* Make sure "Airplane Mode" and "Wi-Fi" is turned off under wireless connections if your LG is an Android device.
It also has other methods for trying. Perhaps another method will work:
Method #1 Insert a non accepted simcard, and enter code when prompted for a code
OR
Method #2 Go to the dial screen and press “2945#*model number#”
for example if its a p999 you enter “2945#*999#” or if its a p990 you enter “2945#*990#” etc…
OR
Method #3 to the dial screen and press 2945#*71001# as if making a call, enter code when prompted
OR
Method #4 Go to the dial screen and press *#865625# as if making a call, enter code when prompted
Quick question.... I just got my unlock code from Tmo. I was wondering if the unlock is retained no matter how much somebody may root/unroot/change ROMs/etc. Is it a "forever" thing? Or just for the current setup? Oh and do I unlock with Tmo SIM in or with the ATT one?
*Edit* oops replied to the op, disregard this post.

Bump is for a bootloader unlock, not for a sim unlock. But you can find it here (ONLY USE WITH KITKAT).
Just contact the carrier via their support site, open a chat session and request an unlock code. There's no charge, and you'll receive it during the session. You could also try the Mobile Device Unlock app if on T-Mobile...

Same problem
Hey guys, I'm having the same problem
I own a D855 phone bought at SFR (in France), I'm about to change of carrier but SFR made a mistake when they created my unlock code, so now they are contacting LG to have a new code, but it'll be too long... (up to 4 weeks)
I'm sure there might be a way to unlock a network without to have to pay, right ? Don't know, maybe a file to edit or replace or something like that ?
My carrier will be automatically changed in about 2 days, and I wont be able to use my carrier services network anymore in 2 days if my phone/network isn't unlocked.... So no more texts, no more calls, ...
I'm using Fulmics ROM & last Xceed kernel
Thanks
UPDATE : I bought an unlock code on https://www.freeunlocks.com but they gave me the same code that my carrier gave me. This code doesn't work...
I really need help, any way to unlock my phone and use it with my new carrier please....

i had a similar problem and contacted samsung in the live chat they assured me all you need to do is a 5min pone call with a si in the original region and then it will be unlocked. in my case the phone was from poland and i need to use it with a brazilian sim. Im testing this rigth this moment.
drum roll
and the results are in:
it worked !!! after a 5:36 call (jsut to be sure) the phone no longer says anything about the sim being locked as it did before.

i told her that i would talk to the samsung support and they would probabilly solve this issue for us

i had a similar problem and contacted samsung in the live chat they assured me all you need to do is a 5min pone call with a si in the original region and then it will be unlocked. in my case the phone was from poland and i need to use it with a brazilian sim. Im testing this rigth this moment.
drum roll
and the results are in:
it worked !!! after a 5:36 call (jsut to be sure) the phone no longer says anything about the sim being locked as it did before.

good afternnon i would like to obtain the unlock code for my wifes phone
11:56:46
she just got it as a gift and i tested sim cad for the country where we live (Brazil) but hte phone is locked and it was a gift from her mom i would like to help them as my in law is very nervous about this issue
11:57:09
i told her that i would talk to the samsung support and they would probabilly solve this issue for us
11:57:21
would unlocking the sim void the warranty?
11:57:45
i wouldn´t think so because this is only a software lock
11:57:50
can you guys help me?
We don't unlock phones here
11:58:31
In what way is the phone locked? To network? Or region?
ME
11:58:43
region
11:59:03
she bought it on a shop its not tagged to any network
11:59:21
i can provide scan of the receit or ayhting that may be nescessary
Amber
11:59:26
Okay, it needs to have a five minute call in it's country of origin, otherwise it will not work.
11:59:36
There is no other way to unlock the phone
Me
11:59:36
the phone isnt branded with any network
Amber
11:59:56
Yes, but you would need to make a call in the UK or EU for 5 minutes.
ME
12:00:07
so if she makes a 5 minute phone call in the country of origin the phone will unlock by itself?
Amber
12:00:14
Yes
12:00:26
Needs to be to another number in that country/
ME
12:00:38
im still in urope so all i have to do is make a 5 minute phone call to a european number and pronto?!
12:00:45

Whenever my friends use to purchase mobile which was in an offer by network locked in the middle east, they used to call for 5-10 mins in the same country before sending it to their families in another. And I used to think they were STUPID. Fortunately, their network locked mobiles do get unlocked but I couldn't believe them as I didn't understand the logic behind it. After hearing your success story, I kinda believe it but still how will it unlock technically?

try to flash firmware for specific country you want to use your phone, find here
or you can dial a code *#272* "you imei no." # and choose your country code for poland choose XEO and touch install then reboot and be free :good:
I recommend the dial code cause its safer and easier for me
IT WILL FACTORY RESET YOU PHONE SO MAKE A FULL BACK-UP :good:

Hi
I have the same issue. Bought a non working j500fn from ebay. It was not charging and not booting. Managed to fix it. However, now it appears that it is sim locked. It asks for a sim unlock code. I tried flashing different FWs, but with no result. The issue remains. Tried dialing the code you mention "*#272+IMEI*" but again nothing. By the I can not execute any codes. Even *#06# to show the IMEI does not work. I might have broken something, while trying different FWs.
Also I tried using SamsungToolPro but again couldn't get the unlock code. On the videos I watched, people presses a button "Read codes" in the SamsungToolPro and the tool showed them the unlock code. However, there is no such button for my model j500fn. I tried J300 and there is such a button and when I press it starts showing info for my phone j500fn, but when it comes to the retrival ot codes it just stops with an error that it tried to access an invalid memory or something.
Also I can not use an UK SIM, because I am in Bulgaria and don't have any active UK sim cards here with me.
Please help me. This is a rather old model so I am pretty sure there has to be a way to unlock it. Otherwise I will have to trow it away or re sell it for parts. The display is in perfect condition by the way. That way I bought it.
anyone ..... ? can't anyone help? Hereis full of android gurus, i thought this would be an easily one ...
HI
I am proud to anounce that after trying several firmware images i finally managed to unlock the sim of the phone.
The key element is to be able to run the hidden codes, which I wasn't for some reason. For example, *#06# didn't show me anything. When you get that fixed, you have to enter the hidden code *#0808# and select "DM+Modem+ADB” . After that just use the Z3X\Samsung\SamsungToolPRO - press "Unlock" and you are done.
