SimUnlock instructions for ASUS p552 :)

hi,
this afternoon, i finally get a network code for my p552.
unfortunately, my operator support (orange) doesn't have a valid procedure to set the unlocking code...
First problem, the length of the code which is 10 in my case and 8 within the procedure...
Then, when i try another simcard from another network, if i set my pincode, nothing happens, except i don't have any network connexion available (which is normal, as my phone is locked on orange network)...i hoped a popup or something would give me access to a form to enter the unlocking code.
I think there is a way to enter the code with a special manufacturer code like *#12345678#unlock_code# (or something like that....)
So, if anybody here has already unlock an Asus mobile phone (not especially the p552), it will be very nice to give me a procedure so i can test it on my phone with my own unlock_code.
Thanks.
edit : in fact, the "enter unlock code" screen does not show up...And i really don't understand why.

To unlock the p552 (orange network) you have to do the following :
1. Power ON your phone with a not allowed sim card (one that didn't come with the phone)
2. Type *#865625#SIMUNLOCK CODE (provided by your operator) - without clicking on the "call button".
3. A popup will appear telling you it's done.
And now, to fully take advantage of your new simcard :
wait some moments
OR switch to plane mode and to phone mode again, type your pincode
...And it works!

bump.
If anybody knows.

Where to you to throw a file?

I don't understand... You want to send me a file?

Do you unlocked your phone or what?

if you read carefully my post, you'll understand that i don't have any instruction from my provider to do it. I've got the unlock code, that's all.

And you can't go to the shop and ask for the instructions?

Because instructions provided by both stores and customer services are erroneous...
Everyone who owns this phone, experience the same problem, and there is no known solution right now as technical services from orange are not qualified enough to solve it and guys from asus support won't help us as orange is the official distributor.
In short, right now, we're screwed.

Bump for justice \o/
See first post to get correct instructions.

thx very much for your help

[Q] Repeated "network unlock request unsuccessful" message even after unlocking

[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.

Foreign SIM doesn't prompt for unlock code -- how to unlock?

I have a SaskTel Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-I747M, baseband version I747MVLLE8) that is locked, and I want to unlock it. But when I insert a foreign SIM (from AT&T) I get no prompt for an unlock code. Instead it just says "No SIM card. Emergency calls only." I've contacted several of the online unlock code suppliers and they say without this prompt I can't unlock the phone. I've also tried to enter variations of the *7465625* code, but they do nothing at all. SaskTel says they don't provide unlock code. This despite the fact that I purchased the phone outright, and have no contract with them. Am I totally hooped, or is there some way I can get this phone unlocked?

try another SIM, maybe the one you're using is borked.

Possible, but I doubt it, since it works just fine in another phone. In any case I don't have another one to try.

Misread

#7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE#
I noticed in an earlier post, the place of the unlock code was after the #, it should be before. On the right track though. Probably just a typo.
unless you already tried that.

That and probably every variation of it I can think of! I am wondering though, is this code internal only to the phone, or does it go to the cellular network? When I do type it, it does nothing, though if I send it I get an "Invalid USSD" message returned from the network.

this code doesn't work on the LTE variants of the SGS3. most of the multi-stage codes (####*###) don't work, you just end up with an error.

Correct as stated. Additionally, if you have a foreign micro sim, and you are not on a stock ROM, the unlock screen prompt will not show. I was running AOKP, and could not get the prompt to show, so I flashed back to stock, unlocked phone, then flashed back to AOKP, bc TW sucks!

This is what I was starting to suspect. Can you refer me to a good, really clear step by step procedure to do this? I've never done this with a phone, and since I live in a small town, I doubt I can find anyone to help me here. So a step by step would be nice. Thanks.

are you on a stock ROM?

i have a i747M and unlocked it with the at&t micro sim, so i know it works,
did u cut ur at&t sim down to size ? maybe u did it wrong and it wont recognize, or ur sim slot is ****ed up ....
ur best bet right now is to try another micro sim

Ok, I've now got my phone rooted. Can someone suggest how I can get the ROM set so that it will allow me to enter the unlock code when I insert a foreign SIM.

There's a 3rd potential method that hasn't been mentioned on here that we see working for most Samsung handsets. In fact, for some Samsung handsets (usually older ones) it is the only unlocking method that will work.
It is:
1. Turn on the phone with a non accepted or accepted SIM card inserted
2. Type #0111*CODE# replacing CODE with your network unlock code
However, if your service provider lock is active, then you'll need to use the code #0133*CODE# instead.
All unlocking methods (once you have the unlock code) are available here: http://www.mobileunlocked.co.uk/samsung-instructions.asp
Hope that helps.

Did you manage to unlock?
I'm facing the exact same issue. My S3 doesn't show the network unlock prompt when I insert a foreign SIM. Mine is locked to AT&T. It's also SGH-I747 model

You could try and unlock your phone as per this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033225
Then try the SIM card after the phone is unlocked.
Oh, I believe this only works on Stock ROMS.

Follow the link Tybalt quoted, you will unlock your phone and the sim won't ask for an unlock code because well, it's unlocked.... Follow the instructions, you need to be on JB 4.11 for this to work, some have had success on custom roms but not many....you don't need to root to do this and make sure when you see the success code you have 40 at the end not 30... i did this a couple times... 30 I think basically means you have locked it again ... and in the instructions when it says wait 30 or 60 seconds... you really do have to wait.. don't be impatient....it's a huge thread with many many successes.....

Samsung Galaxy S3
I have the same issue but I have a sgh-i747 Samsung galaxy S3 i brought it to koodo and was told it was a compatible phone with the company when unlocked. The problem/question i have is When i insert my new simcard the screen will not display any prompt to input a unlock code. It just says emergency calls only or unregistered sim. I inserted my sim card into another s3 same model, software versions, different provider, and the phone asked for the unlock code right when powered on. So i tried and flashed a new firmware but its doing the same thing.
I called koodo and they gave me instructions to create a new apn of Koodo SP it did not make my phone prompt me for an unlock code.
When i send an email to any website about unlocking my phone they advice me not to purchase there product if my phones not prompting me for a unlock code that will it more then likely not work.
I've seen methods online of using these to input an unlock code "#0111*UNLOCKCODE#" or "#7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE#" but when i tell the unlock website this information this still tell me not to purchase there product and i mean many numerous websites. I do not want to buy an unlock code only to try to input it with these methods and have it not work. Which i highly dought it would because the normal 7465625 command doesnt work either.
I also tried this factory unlock and it did nothing
PLEASE HELP!?!?

Thank you so much for this!
Whenever I typed any variation of the #7465625 code I would get the "emergency calls only" message. #0111*CODE# did the trick!
The provider didn't even know this, the best they could come up with after numerous calls to their hotline is that the phone was broken and/or that the SIM card was badly inserted, thus I should mail them the phone to the other side of the country for unlocking. Would they even have known how to do it over there?
My grandma says thanks!

Need help unlocking

I need to unlock my wife's S3 and I got the unlock code from AT&T but when I try to do it, it says unsuccessful. The phone is completely stock not even rooted. Can anyone help cause AT&T is useless?

Does the imei match the imei on the phone's printed label?

Yes it does

When you insert a non-ATT sim, you get the prompt to enter the unlock code? If you do and you enter the code provided by ATT based on the phone's imei, sounds like ATT may have given you the wrong code.

Yes then it gives me and sim unlock unsuccessful. I am getting sick and tired of sitting on hold with them

I'm not sure if the s3 gives you a limited number of tries to unlock it but I would not attempt more than 2 attempts each day.
I assume you confirmed the imei # with ATT? Is it possible the phone is hard-locked to ATT? Did ATT give you any other codes such as unfreeze codes, PUKs, etc.?

i know you said stock , unrooted. dont you have to be on 4.1.1 to unlock? prob. are, just asking.
err on the side of kindness

What ROM is on your phone? If it is 4.1.1 or 4.1.2, you could try using the free unlock method.

I'm having the same problem here. Received a code from AT&T on Oct 26th and they're still trying to figure out why it doesn't work. Bought the locked phone at BestBuy and never touched it until I tried to use the code they gave me.

If you were on 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 and the code didn't work, you could revert back to stock 4.1.1 and unlock the phone for free. Since you're on 4.3, you can only unlock the phone with an unlock code. Seems strange that the unlock code doesn't work. Did you confirm you phone imei and the imei you submitted to ATT?

Yes, I checked everything. Today I spent almost an hour on the phone with them trying to figure out the problem. They even called Samsung and they didn't know what was wrong either.

I read that the phone displays a message when that happens, and none has been presented so far... It always asks me for the network unlock code.

Problem solved
To whoever is going through the same trouble. This is not the "unlock it for free" method, for you will need to insert the unlock code
For Samsung Galaxy S3, S4 and Note 2. Device must be updated to the latest firmware.
Phone MUST prompt for the code. This is the "release method" on the phone(s).
a. Go to the Dial pad and dial *#197328640#
b. Click on number [1] UMTS > [1] Debugging screen > [8] Phone Control > [6] NETWORK LOCK
c. You will see 3 options. Click on number [1] Perso Sha256 INFO, the screen will change slightly
e. Hit the MENU button then when the menu pops up carefully hit BACK to return to the previous screen
f. Click on number [2] Perso Sha256 ON, the screen will change again to a one line message
g. Restart the phone on the screen by holding the power button and click RESTART
h. When the phone prompts for the unlock code simply enter the unlock code
END

Bootloader unlock

I am trying to unlock the bootloader on my unlocked T-Mobile N100. When I went to the OnePlus website to enter my info (serial #, imei, unlock code), it keeps telling me to provide a valid imei. I bought the phone of a guy on offer up app and it works fine with my AT&T sim, but it keeps giving me that message. I've tried contacting OnePlus but they said they needed an invoice to further investigate the issue which all I have are the screenshots of the original post and the conversation we had about meeting up (which I submitted to them). Has anyone else had this issue? I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure it out.

The OP8T also had this bug with the unlock website for the first few month of the phone release. Try contacting OP and see if they are aware of the bug.

Hi, friend, can u tell me how did u unlock this phone? Is there any free ways?
