Hey guys,
I recently called T-Mobile and asked for an unlock code for my Dash, but when I received it I got my friends SIM card to try and it said the code was incorrect. I typed i *#06# on my phone and the IMEI matches the one I gave them, so does anyone know what the problem is? I recently installed Kavana's 6.1 ROM, so would that be a reason why? Thanks!

The 4-digit PIN code on a SIM card is something different to a SIM lock - which code are you talking about?
I'm talking about an 8-digit unlock code I got from T-Mobile. I borrowed my friend's SIM (which is a Cingular SIM) so I could test to see if the unlock code worked, but it didn't.

The unlock code sent from T-Mobile should've worked... The only thing I could recommend would be to double-check the code they sent you. Make sure it's the same one you're entering. You said that the IMEI that pulled up after entering *#06# is the same as the one you first gave them. That should eliminate the IMEI as a potential problem.
I ran into this when I unlocked mine... What I ended up doing was rebooting, entering in the code with My T-Mobile SIM in, then switching to an non T-Mobile SIM after the unlock to make sure it was unlocked.. it was.

How do you enter the unlock code while using the T-Mobile SIM??? I always knew the phone to need a SIM of a different carrier.
Yeah I wanna know that too... I really want this thing unlocked! I appreciate all the help.
I should have been more clear. Reboot the device with the other providers SIM, the simlock dialog should kickin, then before you enter in the code take that SIM out and put yours in, enter the code then switch the cards again.. Thats how I got mine to work.
I used a Nextel SIM if it matters.
I've also heard that there has been success with a program called DASHv2Unlock, it forces the device into the simunlock mode without a forgien SIM in it. I was going to hunt it down but my method ended up working in the end
I was trying to change the theme on my shadow to shadow sliding panels.zip.However was promoted to load celecmd on my storage card and run the cmd. I don't know how to proceed from there cos i am not familiar with the cmds.Pls can somebody help me with this thing by outlining the cmd on this postp.i will appreciate the efforts from some one.
[Q] Repeated "network unlock request unsuccessful" message even after unlocking
[Note, I do not have root (it caused too many weird glitches and I missed OTA updates).]
I have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM originally locked to O2 UK. Months ago they provided me an unlock code and unfreeze code. When I entered it, the phone unlocked. But often, when changing SIM cards, I'd need to enter the code again. No big deal.
A few months ago it took several reboots and inserting the original SIM before the phone would unlock, but randomly it did.
Now I am stuck overseas, and have been trying for 2 days to unlock this piece of ****. The exact same code will not work. The unfreeze code will not work. I even just paid $25 to an unlock website, and the just sent me the same codes, so the codes are definitely right.
I have tried all of the unlocking instructions in their email. Nothing is working.
None of these instructions work. No network unlock screen appears. I believe this feature does not work with this phone:
Code:
Method #2 Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: #7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE# (8 digit unlock code)
OR
Method #3 Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: #0111*UNLOCKCODE# (8 digit unlock code)
OR
Method #4 Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press #7465625*638*# Once prompted for code, enter the 8 digit Unlock Code.
When I insert a non-compatible SIM card, it asks me for the unlock code, then says "Network unlock request unsuccessful". If I try the unfreeze code, it gives the same message. Then I try the network unlock code again and it gives the same message again.
I have tried everything in the email they sent me, but nothing works.
I refuse to format my phone for this! I have so many settings that would be lost.
Is there anything you can do to help me get this working, or explain to me the correct digits to dial in the dialer to get the mysterious "network unlock screen" to appear? I repeat, the digits above such as #7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE# do not work.

thought i could help you unlock it directly without need for unlock code, but just found out it needs more than just a usb cable. I am helping out other guys via remote usb connection.
In your case, I cant really help coz ur phone is new on the playground so it needs sophisticated methods to direct unlock it.
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.
did u get any info on the unlock coz mine to is the same problem , the code is incorrect for my nokia lumia 900
i get the unlock code for my lumia900, but when i type the code into the device, it show me the code is incorrect. and I am sure the code is right, because i call them again and get the same code as first time. so what should I do right now. i only have 3 attempts remaining.

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.
AT&T customer care is unable to resolve the issue and same response from Nokia.
I will never buy AT&t contract in future. Sick

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!
@chimcanhcut: do you try this method?

First off, thanks to minhtien & pyk
Like skid235, I was looking for confirmation that this worked. skid235--have you tried this method yet?
EDIT: I TRIED IT AND IT WORKS! Time to shout this from the mountaintops!
I'll be in Korea for the next month, so I got my unlock code from AT&T. They actually gave me the code without any hassle (which was great!)
But when I use it after putting in a different non-AT&T SIM card, it gives me the message "Network Unlock Unsuccesful."
I have verified the code 3 times (and no, it is not the PUK code for those of you who think it might be).
One agent mentioned that my phone has a date (which is July 6th) that my phone can be unlocked afterwards. I got my phone in Thanksgiving so I don't see why there is an arbitrary date. Has anyone had this problem or is this just me?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated! PLEASE, I NEED MY PHONE!
Idk about using an unlock code, but read this read. I think it might help you out.

I called Sprint and asked for the unlock code which I believe they gave to me but now I have no idea what to do with it. They gave me three numbers.
1) six digit unlock code
2) eight digit PUK number
3) four digit pin
What the hell am I suppose do with this now? From all the other tutorials I saw, there was only one 16 digit unlock code?!?!?
Thanks,

Someone must have requested an unlock code before? Thinking of moving to Cricket and they just tell me I need to put the new SIM card in and the phone will ask for the codes once it reboots? Not sure about that as I've put in an AT&T SIM in and got nothing, only "no SIM - Sprint"

Thought of it and already asked but they won't give instructions, only the unlock code. Sprint told me to talk to the other carrier for those. I did that, and they just said to pop the new SIM in and it would ask for code upon reboot. I'm just worried it won't since it didn't for the AT&T SIM. Hoping it might have been a faulty SIM or something but I guess I'll find out in the next few days after getting the Cricket SIM.
From everything I've read, you can't unlock the LS980 with just the code. You have to use one of the SIM unlock procedures in various threads on this forum which includes rooting and replacing the /carrier directory and setting the proper permissions.
On more generic G2 phones the SIM is unlocked with the dialer code 2945#*[model number]# but that dialer code does not work on the LS980.
6-digit code = security code for CDMA programming
LS980 already unlocked for GSM use
The GSM is locked for domestic use. Need to follow instructions in thread for permanent unlock.

Thanks guys. Ended up having to reteach myself how to root after being away from it for a few years. Installed Cloudyfa G2 2.2. Running great. Thanks for help.
