I have received the unlocking code for the mda vario iii but there is no space to enter the code.
When I enter a foreign sim card it brings me to the following screen:
Top left: Sim lock
Main screen: Checking SIM lock status please wait
To make an emergency call, type the emergency number and tap emergency.
Then it has room to enter the emergency number.
I have tried running the simlock.exe from windows but still the same screen.
Let me know if you can help.
have you tried typing in the unlock code and pressing enter as one
would when typing in a normal simcode ?
Problem solved - Problematic simlock.exe

Thanks.
The problem was with simlock.exe file in windows.
As soon as I have replaced it with the one found in a post it worked.
Easiest unlock ever (works on i780 and Omnia):
1) Download attached ZIP file
2) copy all three .lnk files to your PPC
3) run Lock.lnk
4) enter valid MCC/MNC of any carrier (I used my "real" SIMLock carrier ID, list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code ; eg. 26001 for Poland, Plus)
5) As NCK, enter 12345678
6) tap OK (it should tell that SIMLock enabled)
7) run Status.lnk to see if its locked
8) run Unlock.lnk
9) enter code entered in point 5 (12345678)
10) voila
Alternative method, works on i780, no copying of anything required:
- in 3), instead of launching .lnk, type the following code in the Phone app: *7465625*638*#
- in 7), instead of launching .lnk, type the following code in the Phone app: *#7465625#
- in 8), instead of launching .lnk, type the following code in the Phone app: #7465625*638*#
If anyone wants me to dig for the codes for Omnia, please send me DialParserGSM.dll file from Omnia ROM dump...

Great. I'll try that ;-)
GREATS! it works very well!!!
Voila!!! Work on i780. Does it will work on others ?
_TB_TB - thanks!.. you're a guru in i780.. hopefully you can do something about the keypad lock
I think it should work for all Samsung devices, since the device can have only one lock of given type at one time, namely it is enough to overwrite the existing lock with a new one (actually, its stupid that they left the simlocking tool in ROM...)
Huh!!! Unlocking boxes are killed now The trick is in litle .exe file. I'll test on omnia as soon as possible
edit: Can you upload here this litle .exe file ?
The Personalize.exe should be in any ROM
Hi, great post! Thanks!
So this will unlock samsung Omnia for use with other sim?
My Omnia Vodafone arrives in 10 days... wait for your answer.
It's work on my samsung player addict @_TB_TB_ you're the GUY,very thanks happy new year.

Same here, when entering any mcc/MNC other than the good one I get a "You entered Incorrect MCC/MNC",
when entering the real SFR 20810 I get "Fail to Set Locking status"
thank you very much.
did you have a solution to bricked omnia after update the device ?
thank you so much
it worked in my omnia i900
Hi, same for me too as spartakus (Omnia). Carier ID: 21620.
It would be fine to have the right code. Thanks.
Thanks for this !!
I made it ON MY OMNIA and it tells me that the phone is unlocked.
I will say that you must enter your PIN code of your SIM card before !
If you don't it doesn't work

00000000 оR any 8-digit number and should work fine
I got my unlock code from AT&T, but they told me I must enter a non-ATT SIM to enter the code.
In searching the forum, the CDMA Rhodium apparently has a security menu under Settings-> Personal where you can enter it. That icon doesn't seem to exist on the Tilt 2.
Anyone know where to enter the pin?
You need to insert a non ATT sim card - start up your phone - a screen will pop up asking you to enter the unlock code - after you enter it, hit "ok".
That is all you need do.
Hello to all the XDA DEveloper Forum !!!
Hi, this is my first post and a recomendation that I found in some sites, but I think shoul be usefull to have it here in XDA ( for beginners like me ) :
How to enter my Unlock Code on Nokia ?
=======================================
Nokia Lumia Input Instructions
1 - Insert a sim card that is not from the original network.
2 - Phone will now state the following:
This sim card can only be used on specific networks. Contact your customer service center for the unlock code. (it will also display how many attempts are left).
3 - Press the Enter Pin Button and enter your unlock code we supplied you to unlock your phone.
Nokia BB5 Code Input Instructions ( All Newish Nokia Phones are BB5)
1 - Switch ON your phone without SIM Card,
2 - Compose #PW+CODE+1#
To get letter P press * button quickly 3 times
To get letter W press * button quickly 4 times
To get letter + press * button quickly 2 times
3 - The phone show "SIM Restriction Off" and was unlocked !
Note: your unlock code is normally 15 digits long, sometimes you may get 2 codes for your nokia BB5 phone,
if this is the case the second code should be entered as #PW+CODE+1# just like the first code
IMPORTANT TIP ONLY FOR UK ORANGE LOCKED NOKIA
Some Orange UK Nokia codes may fail, if this is the case use +7# instead of +1# for the code to work
Nokia BB5 Models - with full keyboards (E5, E61 / E62 etc)
1. Insert a SIM Card not from the original network (IE one it's not locked to)
2. Turn on the handset - Undo request will display, press undo if prompted. (your phone may display "sim not recognised" if this is the case just start entering your code as in step3)
3. Enter the unlocking code #pw+YOURCODEHERE+1#
4. The phone will now unlock.
Nokia BB5 Code Error Problem Help
A lot of Nokia BB5 models require that you force the code to unlock it.
We are noticing this error problem more and more with newer Nokia BB5 phones, even if no attempts have been used on the phone.
Also, if your Nokia phone has had too many wrong attempts (3 + Attempts) using wrong unlock code from unreliable source, then your phone will display one of the following: "Not Allowed" or "Cannot undo restriction". If you have this problem, then use the force code method below
How To Force Nokia BB5 Code
Please follow these steps?
1. Download the program SendCodeUsb.exe (Don't run it just yet.) aka. : " NOKIA BB5 CODE USB SENDER "
2. Download and Install the latest Nokia PC Suite (This installs the phone drivers)
3. Connect your phone to the PC and select PC Suite on your phone screen, then wait for all the drivers to install.
4. Run the 'SendCodeUsb.exe' program.
5. Click the 'Read Phone Info' button to check the connection, you will also see some info about your phone.
6. Tick the 'Check for FBus' option.
7. Enter the unlocking code supplied into the 'Unlock Code (15 digits)' box. NOTE: only enter the middle numbers part
EG if your code is #pw+418636523456123+1#, then just enter 418636523456123
8. Next, select the Lock 'Level (1-7)'. this should be set at 1.
9. Finally Click the 'Send Unlock Code' button to send the code to the phone and unlock it.
Also Note: Some newer Nokia models like X3-02 and others cannot have their code forced by the software in the image above.
So you need to reset the key counter back to zero first using this alternative Nokia Key Counter Reset Software, then enter your code manually via the phones keypad in the normal way
=======================================
Nokia DCT4 Models (Older phones)
1. Turn on your phone without a SIM Card in it
2. Enter the unlocking code # p w + YOUR_CODE_HERE + 1 #
3. The phone will now unlock.
Note: Use the codes ending with either +1#, +7# or even +5#.
=======================================
Models : Nokia DCT3 (Oldest)
1. Turn on your phone without a SIM Card in it
2. Enter the unlocking code # p w + YOUR_CODE_HERE + 1 #
3. The phone will now unlock.
Note: Use the codes ending with either +1# or +2# only.
If the above method fails try inserting a locked SIM (IE one that the phone will not accept) and try the unlock code again.
=======================================
Problems with code supplied?
Firstly Double check the code you ordered by comparing the IMEI submitted with the one on your phone (Type *#06#) if it is different. Also double check that you requested the correct network that the phone is currently locked to.
Nokia unlocking code examples
Examples for newer Nokia phones (BB5)

Come on guys pleaseeee
wait for some time hope experts will help u
Nobody??
To unlock Alcatel the IMEI number is required, u need to get also ID provider.
ID Provider is shown on a sticker under battery.
Now, Switch ON your Alcatel with a NOT ACCEPTED SIM Card,
2 - When the message "Enter Network Key" appears, enter the Unlock Code.
*NOT ACCEPTED : means, to use a sim card from a network other than the network your Alcatel is locked to.
OR
1 - Switch ON your Alcatel WITHOUT SIM Card,
2 - Then compose : *#0000*CODE#,
3 - To finish compose : *#0001*CODE#.
