Try taking out your sim, I'm assuming its a GSM model, and if that works set everything up on wifi and put it back in. I've seen locked sim cards before. You might have to get another one from your provider

the phone was working great until i did factory data reset???

Do you have a DoCoMo branded nexus? There are some known issues with DoCoMo nexus devices reverting to a locked state when factory reset.

Check the back. Does it look like this one?
Wait. It says that in French? You probably have a non-NTT DoCoMo GSM model.

Plain old GSM model.
Did you try booting it without the SIM inserted as suggested?

Just download the toolkit and do an oem unlock, and reflash the stock image.

The device you bought was SIM-locked to a carrier. Where did you buy it from? If they said it was unlocked, then they need to provide you the code. Otherwise, you can get around it by using this or this.

Most Galaxy Nexus devices are sold SIM-unlocked. However, there are some, like yours, that are sold SIM-locked. If they are sold SIM-locked, you need a code to allow it to work on carriers OTHER than the one the device was locked to (which someone already entered in your phone before you bought it). Once the code is entered, it will work exactly like a SIM-unlocked device until such time when you either do a factory reset or flash a different ROM. When that happens, you will need to re-enter the code OR use one of the methods I linked to above.

You don't need root or anything for the toolkit. Also, if you don't ask it to root your phone, it won't. It's. Pretty straightforward process. Just pick the one that combines the download stock image from Google to flash it and whatnot.

The OP's issue is that he has a SIM lock, and he needs it unlocked. A toolkit is not going to help him with that. The links I posted will.
And I never recommend using toolkits for anything -- you may end up having issues.

hi guy than thanks
i have unlocked the phone by using efrant's solution
thanks again
-i have made "root", did i lost the Google officially support?
-and if i make a "factory data reset" or install new ROM (official or Cooked), will the phone lock again?
thanks again!!!

No, you will still get updates, assuming you didn't change files on the system partition.

My wallet won't scan after the update. It works and I can add cards and stuff but it won't pay for anything. NFC works otherwise though.

You can fix it. There are a couple ways. First did you just install google wallet or did you flash a rom? If you flashed a rom then go to the apps page there are instructions, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1872161
There is another way as well follow these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794727
If you just did an update and you are getting the error you can definately fix it, its'just a bad install of google wallet.
Gluck and let us know how things turn out. I got out of insecure element several times now so don't give up.

If you followed the guide to add Google Wallet when you had to change the build prop you can try what I did. I changed my build prop back to the changes I had to make to originally install and activate wallet. I ran wallet for awhile but got tired of transferring money onto the Google prepaid card and wanted to add my debit. Here's what I did:
1) I changed the build prop back to the Galaxy Nexus stuff.
2) Rebooted into recovery.
3) Clicked Reboot
4) Went to wallet
5) Added my debit card; it took awhile to activate.
6) Changed build prop stuff back to the t-mobile samsung stuff
7) Card was saved in wallet.
8) Tried to use it at McDonalds first and NFC didn't start
9) Rebooted phone
10) It worked about 6 hours later at Sheetz gas station. Seems good to go!
Hope this helps.

Reboots after Factory Reset

I have a LG Nitro HD, which I unbricked, rooted, etc, and upgraded to Cyanogenmod 10.1. Worked great, I ended up giving it to my friend. He gave it back to me the other day because his brother accidentally did a factory reset and it "DOESNT WORK" as he put it. So i tried doing setup manager and stuff and whenever i clicked a button, it froze and rebooted. I reflashed CM10.1, same thing. Flashed to PARANOIDANDROID, same thing. On the lockscreen, everything is fine. I can touch the screen and pull down notification center without any issue, but as soon as i unlock it and touch the screen, it locks up and reboots. It seems like it's allergic to my touch....any help would be greatly appreciated as he wants to sell it.
Thanks!

Maybe going through the unbrick process again will fix the problem.

Did you put the phone in download mode 1st? Start with the phone powered off. Plug the lg supplied USB cable into the computer. Then hold down vol up and plug the USB cable into the phone. As long as the lg drivers are installed the lg support software will see it

Also yeah I tried the 2945 code but it doesn't work in Cyanogenmod10, and after some digging, I found that it's best to unlock on the stock ROM anyways.

I rooted using this method while still on 4.1.2 and it worked flawlessly.
I then paid for and installed SuperSU Pro and activated "Survival Mode"
Lastly, after the OTA update was COMPLETELY finished, I followed this simple procedure to get root back again.
SuperSU disables Knox for you on 4.3 which is also nice. I should have qualified here that I am COMPLETELY stock other than root. I have not "frozen" any apps., deleted any Samsung provided files, etc. and I have stock bootloader and stock recovery. This will likely NOT work if you have done any of those things.
Is there a flashable version of this? If not, can somebody make one? Thanks.
I'm running a custom rom and rollouts/updates from vendors freak me out because I don't trust not one of them. Knowing AT&T they have thrown in some bit of encryption that locks the bootloader. I understand this might not be the case this time but I do know none of them can be trusted.
Now if you excuse me, I'm 1/2 done with 1984 the book and my tin foil hat is making me itch.
Guys I need help I am stuck, I am using unlock att with tmobile, I check software update but it days interrupted, and I even tried with kies but it's not connecting at all, I tried 2 pcs.... Any help... What to do to update it... Please

I have a few questions for you and/or those more in the know:
If I were to do this same thing, would I be able to flash a custom recovery (like TWRP) and/or flash custom ROM's/Kernels like I can already do now? One of my main concerns is that the stock kernel doesn't support Boeffla Sound, and that really makes for better audio on this device...might as well take full advantage of that Wolfson DAC...
I have to admit, it would be nice to be able to use pure AT&T stock, but rooted, as a base...this is why I loved the old CleanROM AT&T SE so much...
TIA for any guidance you can give on this.
Side note: after ODIN'ing back to 4.1.2 MA4, it says I have a 741MB update I can take....I'm sure that's this 4.3 update...Culpeper, VA here.

I did the same as marchusdavis but it resulted in a total disaster. After I downloaded the OTA update from AT&T I restarted my phone and it installed through CWM-Touch. At the end it asked if I wanted to ensure root was maintained and of course I said "yes" there (as well as through my SuperSU Pro Survival Mode). When it booted, my WiFi no longer works AND I lost root.
If anyway has any advice on how to get to a stock 4.3 from here please let me know!
Ugh, having trouble updating atm.
Goes up to 30%, then my phone reboots and says
"The update was interrupted" or something like that
On stock 4.1.2 rooted with stock recovery if anyone can help.

I don't believe so, as I am completely stock, bootloader and all. If you want to install other ROMs, you'd need to use a different method I believe. Likely downloading this update either via Kies or something else, and use ODIN to do everything. If you search around a bit on XDA, you'll probably find someone who has done it successfully and posted how. While I like custom ROMs, I have not had a need to use one yet on this device. However, if Samsung doesn't eventually give us Air Command, that might be enough to make me try it!
Is it possible to get the official update from the leak or do I have to downgrade to 4.1.2? I tried updating from the leak but it said it's the latest version.

What exactly is a debrick image? Sorry, the only time I ever bricked a phone was on purpose si I've never used one.

Cnexus - any idea why yours is much smaller?
80mb vs 128mb
The 80mb file is about the same size as pre 4.3 images.
I just used a difference size when dumping it.

If the bootloader gets corrupted on the Galaxy SIII, you can flash the image file to an SD card and get the phone to boot from a fully bricked state (phone will not power on at all). The image file must match the current bootloader that is installed. There are other threads here for previous builds with the matching image files.
(If I got something a little wrong in terminology or concept, I'm sure someone will pop in and fix anything I got mixed up on explaining. )
You are all over this update man, I can't keep up lol.

Him or me?
Unfortunately, my phone hard bricked during some testing of ND8 and now it's a paperweight as I haven't been able to get it back. I'm sure we'll see more of this going forward. I bet there were a few when 4.3 came along as well but we weren't around for that release here.
Looks like Jtag for this phone and I haven't decided what to do in the meantime to replace it; temporarily or permanently.

I personally think I'm done with Sammy after this phone. Knox is too much of a pain in the arse and if they keep adding to it it's gonna eventually be locked down. I'm looking at the OnePlus or the LG G3 or the new M8, but not til Christmas or Tax Time.

My thoughts exactly. The G3 or the Nexus 6 are on my radar. Will be looking at switching to T-Mobile as well.

Yeah, I just wish I knew what their service was like in my area... I know they sucked like 5 years ago but nobody I know is on TMo anymore.

I'm still weighing options and not sure if I want to change carriers yet too.

I hard bricked my phone. How can I find out which bootloader was installed when it bricked? I have tried about every debrick image I can find with no success?

Edit: Additionally, I had issues getting this image to flash in Windows. I had to flash it to SD in Ubuntu. If you can still read the SD in Windows, it didn't take the flash. If the card is unreadable in Windows then maybe it flashed ok but still no guarantees it will work if the bootloader partitions are corrupted like mine were.

I was having connectivity issues so I flashed a new modem. Then, for some weird reason, I lost audio and had ZERO signal except wifi. I was advised to flash a TW rom to try and update PRL and activate the phone. I flashed Wicked Sensations, still no luck. So at that point, I was trying to flash back to non rooted using >>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099. Thats when it bricked. I don't blame anyone but myself. I didn't read the ENTIRE thread before flashing and it hard bricked. Won't power on, no recovery/download mode. Light comes on with battery pulled and plugged in to USB.
I have tried all the threads and has no luck. I bought a 16g class 10 sd card. Tried many different debrick files. Tried writing with win23 and Cygwin, nothing. I am thinking I may need a different image based on my bootloader, I just have no idea which it was at the time.

Android Pay not working with unlocked bootloader!

So, I'm on XDA what did you expect , I unlocked my bootloader and Android pay 'can't verify the software on my device'...
So I can't add my card.
No biggy, but has anyone else experienced the same?
Or am I just super unlucky? ????

Yes, same with the 6P. Bootloader unlock breaks Android Pay.

It must be based on Android version. My 6P has the same version of Pay as my XL but v the 6P still works and I can add cards to it.
It's a mixture of Bootloader and 7.1
Which sucks...

My 6P is unlocked but no root. Doesn't work. They definitely changed SafetyNet policies. It's not Android 7.1 the issue.

Weird that it's not working for you but is for me on the 6P
Some sort of staged roll out perhaps?

It's probably a change that's still not rolled out to everyone. Unfortunately even my bank app relies on SafetyNET and disables some features. I guess no more custom kernels for me on the Pixel

But, as I'm sure you know, if you have any custom software on your phone, I would not relock the bootloader until it is all back to stock.

Truthfully, I think I'll just wait for everyone else on the internet to complain, have Google revert the change and then carry on as normal haha
I'm sure there's some security risk involved. But that's for me to deal with, I can't blame Google because I unlocked my bootloader, that's just wrong.

It's more of a bank requirement than a Google requirement. I don't see that one getting rolled back. If they want more banks on board they need to comply to their security measures and show that the device data can't be compromised. The dev community, while vocal, is small. They want the system available to the masses.

It's funny that you mention that???? because my android pay (version 1.8) is now WORKING with my unlocked bootloader on the Pixel XL.
However, the rest of the internet is having very mixed results. Many not working, only a handful are. And even then, it seems like it might be a temporary glitch
So I am going to have to lock my bootloader, subsequently wiping my phone to use android pay again? D:

I don't think locking your boot loader wipes your phone. Only unlocking.
anyone find any fix/round about this problem?
