Sim unlock galaxy nexus? ? ? ?

I was looking into this last night. I thought it would be easy but seems I was wrong.
How is it that, if you have root, you cant just delete all files connected with the sim lock. Or, if you install a custom rom, wouldn't that just overwrite all the lock crap???

Try it and see if it works. My guess would be no... You'll probably need to contact your operator and tell them to unlock it for you.

there is a way to sim unlock galaxy s. isnt it possible to use that method for galaxy nexus?

The simlock isn't store on the OS. Its in a non voltatile section of the radio - the same place that holds unique information like your phone serial number (IMEI) etc.
You need to use one of those online services who obtain it with a service center contract directly from samsung.

my phone is stock and didnt root yet. Is there any suggestions, how can i solve this?
Thanx in advance.

I'm confused. I thought all Nexus phones come unlocked. Or are there different definitions of "unlocked" ?

Hi
I have an IMEI unlock codes server, and I can provide unlock codes for all Samsung phones locked on European networks.
All models are compatible, even the most recent.
The unlock by imei don't make you loose your warranty, and it's permanent.
It's the easiest way to unlock your phone.
All you have to do is power on your phone with an unaccented sim card, type the provided unlock code, and the phone will be unlocked for ever.
The only info that I need is the IMEI of the phone. (type *#06# to see the IMEI)
And the model of the phone.
Delivery time: half hour normally.

I just unlocked my Gnex with the help of this guy and it worked like a charm. Legit and took less than 30 mins
Thanks again

Well:
There are unlock codes, depending on the carrier you're locked to.
There's application for temporary unlock and permanent unlock, but you'll loose your IMEI on permanent unlock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548210.
There's my not very well tested method for perm unlock with IMEI intact: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606982
Yes, it's not easy for now. But we're getting there.

So how does one check which carrier/ country the device is locked to?
I have to specify the country+carrier to get an unlock code, but how can I tell?

[Q] sim network unlock pin on galaxy nexus

Hello

I bought a Samsung galaxy nexus week ago and its worked until today
When I turn the phone on it asks me for "sim network unlock pin"

I'm thinking the reason your thread got 100+ views and not one reply is your question being the noobiest of noobs!
Anyway, the Galaxy Nexus isn't sim-locked. the "sim network unlock pin" message you're getting must be a security PIN in your sim.

Maybe not: I've a Vodafone GN and it is network unlocked with a internet purchased PIN code.
Each time I "touch" the rom, the device ask again for that unlock code.

pin code
Witch provider do U have? is your sim protected by unlock code?call your provider and ask for "PUK" code this should help.

Mine was O2 sim locked and I bought an unlock code from an ebay seller. Several weeks later it decided to sim lock itself again without provocation.
Unfortunately I had deleted the email with the unlock code so had to buy it again... Annoying.

This is an ignorant response. The OP's phone is SIM-locked.
OP, flashing a new firmware does indeed SIM relock the phone. SIM relocks can also seemingly appear randomly or after removing your current SIM card from the phone.
This is why it's important to either memorise your SIM unlock code or keep it at hand. Just re-enter your unlock code and you'll be fine.

The OP's question is certainly not a NOOB question.
This is a common problem with what apparently seems codes purchased. When you install a new ROM or make certain changes, it asks for the code to be re-entered. Nobody seems to have a solution for this yet! Upon re-entering the code, the phone will work fine.

I have this problem, but what code i need to re-entering? PIN,PUK...?

Sounds like you need to purchase a sim unlock code from an internet retailer if the code was not included with your original purchase.

If you goto fastboot (volumeup + volume down + power), what does it say in the lines of "baseband version" and "carrier info"?

aren't all galaxy nexus factory unlocked? so it should work with any network right out of box.

Unlocked phone showing same problem
Hi everyone,
Sorry to piggy back on this thread, but I thought this might be helpful.
I bought an unlocked phone (NEVER locked to any carrier) which was working fine for 3 days. Suddenly this morning, it asks for the "SIM network unlock PIN".
I have not modified the device in any way, it is original with locked bootloader, not rooted, etc.
The SIM had not been removed in the time period, and the device had not been turned off. I had it on airplane mode overnight, then it showed the problem in the morning.
Its not a simple SIM pin code, it asks me for that when I boot the device, and accepts my pin, then follows with the message above which I gather to mean it is locked to some carrier or other.
Running Android 4.0.4
Baseband: I9250XXLA2
Build number: IMM76I
Unfortunately I can't even buy an unlock code, because I don't know what carrier it thinks its locked to.
Maybe this is an indication of a deeper problem on this phone, not just related to replacement ROMS.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jakrapup

No. People, if you don't know enough about the subject or enough to read the whole thread, don't comment. Some GSM phones are sim-locked like DoCoMo and evidently some Vodaphones and I'm sure more.
Also, there is a questions and answers forum. This isn't it.

I had same prob and used the do como solution it works 100%

I managed to sort my problem out without rooting, but it indicates something fishy is going on.
The phone was sold to me 'unlocked'. I contacted the vendor who promptly gave me an unlock code (I thought unlock codes were carrier specific... so which carrier is this code for? No idea, shouldn't even have had one!).
I'm starting to wonder if the vendor had bulk purchased locked phones from overseas (phone arrived in a french box), purchased the unlock codes, unlocked the phones, and then sold the phone on...
The vendor does tell me that the phone is supported by the local Australian warranty despite the french packaging, and the presence of an unlock code indicating it was purchased from a telco?
Anyway, problem appears to be solved, though I have no idea what triggered the lock in the first place.

Who did you buy the phone from? Was it kogan? And was the box sealed when u got it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Not Kogan,
I took a risk and bought from an Ebay store, rated as a top seller with a very high score, but you never know.
The box was sort of sealed, doubt it was the original seal. The seal was plain white, no writing or branding on it...
You get what you get with Ebay stores I guess

Can i unlock my xperia ion att?

I found my xperia ion on e-bay and it is locked.
1.st question: Can be unlocked with code and use it in Europe gsm network?
2nd. question: If i unlock bootloader, and root, and instal some international custom rom will i unlock network?

1. Yes but good luck getting a code right now as AT&T isn't giving them out.
2. Unlocking bootloader doesn't unlock network (at least not officially) and flashing an international rom has no effect on similar lock status or not.
You'd have to try some of the unlocking services around. There is a thread about unlocking already on the ion forums here at xda. Look at that thread for info.

HI
I bought( On my Birthday !) a Unlocked At&t Ion in S.korea from a guy who bought two of those from US.
I guess he was in US army ( this is around 1st Aug or late July thing). If it helped him to get a unlock . So looks like as of now At&t is unlocking it .. :good:
Anyways i am happy to get a Unlocked ionthat too in the land of Samsung ! I have flashed a stock rom Lt28H.. It works amazing on ICS ..
Anirudh

I bought an used AT&T Ion in Canada from Kijiji and I'm stuck with it. The guy who sold me the phone knew it cannot be unlock but too bad I didn't do a research before I paid him my hard earned money. And I dont want to sell and scam people around saying this can be unlocked. Hopefully it will be possible in the future and then I will either sell it or give it to my budy.

This should go in the Q & A section, not developement.
I have a locked bootloader c6506 as well, currently there is no way around the locked bootloader if you aren't allowed to unlock it through the official way.

Bootloader unlock allowed no solved. Its locked by your carrier. You have to call your carrier and talk to them and push hard to get what you want. Or call Sony. carrier lock is the problem here. The bootloader is locked by the carrier. not Sony. After its carrier unlocked if u cant unlock the bootloader then you have to take it to a sony technician to get your bootloader unlocked Hit thanks if I helped in any way and pls check forums for my other posts and projects thanks again

Can you clarify exactly how you went about this? You call Bell Tech Support and they unlocked it? What do you mean "if you can't unlock the bootloader, take it to Sony". Were you able to unlock or no? Where do I find a Sony technician?
Thanks

I called bell and they said they could carrier unlock my phone for 75$ charged to my bill. this should unlock bootloader if not find an asain area with cell phone services they should be able to help and r licensed technicians as well.

Anybody with rogers try this?

Carrier unlock IS NOT bootloader unlock. The ONLY way at the moment to get a guaranteed BL unlockable device, is to get it DIRECTLY from Sony Store (USA). I contacted the few Sony Stores in Canada (GTA area) and many of the people I talked to didn't even know what the BL is so it's not reliable. I got mine off ebay and got the seller to check before I bought it. Only the C6506 variants direct from the Sony Store are likely to have unlockable BL. No technician (unless they work for Sony) will be able to unlock the bootloader.
Also, $75 is WAAAY to much for carrier/SIM unlock. You can probably find it for $20-$40 from a cell unlock website. Cheaper than that if you're lucky.

bell was going to unlock my phone and send me a code to unlock the bootloader. so there you go. I talked to them and figured it out. its the carrier who locked the bootloader not sony

That doesn't sound right. If it was that easy to unlock the BL more people would do it, and it would be more known in the community. And I'm pretty sure you can't unlock the BL with just a code. It's an incredibly more complex procedure than that. See http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions. It sounds like they are misleading you to believe it will unlock the bootloader, rather than just SIM unlock. Of course it is the carrier who locks the bootloader, that's why I said the only way to get an unlockable ZL is straight from Sony, who has no carrier branding.

I think you're confusing people... the OP is asking for BOOTLOADER unlock, not a carrier unlock, calling Bell (Or any other carrier for that matter) will NEVER solve the problem, it's not the carriers that lock the bootloader, it's SONY. And calling them wont help either, unless it's a developer phone purchased directly through Sony, you won't be able to unlock.
I'm sure with time, some group of diligent Devs will crack the bootloader problem the same way that Revolutionary.IO cracks through S-Off for HTC's
In the interim, you're out of luck.

This is somewhat depressing. Gods, how I miss Cyanogenmod on my S3. I find it very difficult to believe that there is no solution for this. Sure, it hasn't yet been developed, but there is always a way.
Just be patient folks. Something will pop up sooner or later.
I hope.

Almost, it's not the carrier that locks it, or even the carrier that requests it be locked, it's Sony locking it before sending it. Unlocking the bootloader is a DEVELOPMENT option, not a CONSUMER option, anything that is going to the hands of a consumer gets locked, ie. ALL CARRIER phones.
Unlocking the bootloader mean you can write to the system partitions without using EXPLOITS to gain root access (Which is what we're doing now)
It's the fastest way for a consumer to brick their phone, which is why they all leave the factory locked, unless you're buying directly from them, at which point, they assume you aren't a consumer, and you may then unlock your bootloader by use of http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ and FastBoot in the Android Dev Kit.

Not to beat a dead horse or get into a he said she said scenario, But let me explain how it all works to the best of my ability.
First do not call any carrier and think they will understand what it means to unlock a bootloader, for the most part they are not aware of the bootloader. this is not covered in they're training.
Now Sony locks the bootloaders for carriers, this is a request from the carriers. Sony could care less if it's locked or not. The carriers care, why do they care you may ask. well if the phones they sold had unlocked bootloaders than you could more easily sim unlock you phone and move on. on top off that the ability to brick your phone increases 10 fold. now how many users would mess up their phone and just return it and lie to get a new phone. now the carrier sends it back to Sony under warranty and Sony does not honor the warranty as they know it was tampered with.
Sony is pretty good at supporting Dev's and even has an aosp 4.3 version for user's to try.
last thing i want to say is don't hold your breath on a hack to un lock a locked down bootloader. our batteries are not removable and this makes the processes harder. I bought my Xperia S the week it was launched and a solution for that phone never came. well at least not one I could confirm works. See when the xperia s was released it's was Sony's first phone they made without Ericson. from my understanding this was part of the reason why it got harder. we need access to the SE s1 server and last I checked it was offline fopr over a year, came online for a week and a few users were able to pay 60 us to have there unlockable bootloaders unlocked. as Sony devs could do it with the S1 server and apologize to SE move on.
I'm not sure if this will help or not but do a Google search on how unlocking phones started and read how it has evolved. a good place to start is to search for se s1 server.
hope this helps.

I will explain again my convo i had with bell about unlocking my phone and bootloader. they even asked me do i understand i will lose warrenty if i unlock my bootloader. i said yes they were gonna send me the code to unlock the bootloader. but i couldnt cause i didnt have the phone for 90 days. it can only be done through ur carrier cause they send u the bootloader unlock code u need to unlock it. unlocking the phone they do through the imei. It costs 75$ extra added onto ur phone bill though. but for the price of one gaurenteed way to unlock it its worth it. they said they had to contact sony too in the convo i had with the bell guy. it was a supervisor i talked to and understood exactly what i wanted done. he knew what i was talking about as well. so its possible. just hasn't been confrimed yet. and heres a huge hint. someones working on a hack for this. eta idk. im gonna be one of the testers for this hack/exploit. i cant say much else. top secret of course.

Did you get the code? Are you now able to install a custom kernel? If not, then this is completely irrelevant. If so, you've saved a lot of people a pretty decent headache.
We need you to confirm this as $75 is a steep fee for something nobody is even sure is legit. Sure, you say it is, and I'm not disputing you, but I need evidence before I give Bell free money. I need to be 100% sure.
If you can install Cyanogenmod, that's all I want.
[Also, I saw in your signature you're being screwed by Rogers. High-five, me too!]

well i still have to wait a bit. hasnt been 90 days since i got my first xperia zl. first one i bricked second one fell down the stairs on my third one now. 90 days to wait for my new one but im gonna try and see if i can get the code and use it on mine if it works yay will let u guys know for sure.

100% guaranteed they're talking about SIM unlock. Sorry. 'Unlocking the bootloader' is not something you can do with a code provided by a carrier, and a 90 day wait is *precisely* Rogers' policy for SIM unlocks. They are going to give you a SIM unlock code and charge you a lot of money for it. You could get it now, for $8, from any one of a bunch of unlock sellers.

I will explain one last time for those who dont have the time to understand. I called bell myself. Have any of u even tried calling ur carrier? Probably not. This works. I called bell i asked my phone to be fully "unlocked" this includes the bootloader. They said they could unlock the carrier onlt but i would have to wait for my bootloader unlock code to be sent to me by someone else. Only one else that could be is sony. So there. Anyone else not gonna actually try calling their carrier? I even talked to sony they said only they can send the bootloader unlock code but to do that i have to have my carrier unlock my phone fully for me and have my carrier contact sony to send me my bootloader unlock code. I havent had my phone long enough to do this but it works clearly. Sony confirmed it to me over the phone. One of the higher ups. Asked for a supervisor and i got one of their devs on. So anyone else want keep trolling this thread? I only speak the truth. Those who have doubt in life will fail. Have no doubt or fear and you will always succeed

I will explain one last time for those who dont have the time to understand. I called bell myself. Have any of u even tried calling ur carrier? Probably not. This works. I called bell i asked my phone to be fully "unlocked" this includes the bootloader.

Weird I contacted Sony myself also and I was told by them that if it says no for bootloader they can't unlock the bootloader. Seems to be some mis information but it also depends on who you talk to. We need to find a alternate way to unlock

I've finally found a service that was able to unlock it! After 8 attempt and refunds from other companies.
The unlocking company, you find it with Google.

Is it called the unlocking company or what is it's name? would be helpful if you could be more clear...

I think he meant theunlockingcompany.net, unfortunately they were unable to unlock my H-815AR from Movistar Argentina, tried at least two more services, including unlockunit and unlockcode24x7 without success, the unlockingcompany folks told me to wait a few weeks and try again.

I've had good luck with Android SIM Unlock. Got my unlock code for my G3 and G4 from them with no issue. http://www.androidsimunlock.com/unlock-phone/lg/g4/

Hey i know this is an old post, but i'm having an absolute nightmare unlocking my phone and was wondering if you could please help just by answering a quick question!
Originally locked to EE, I went through them to get it unlocked and it failed.
When you say the other companies failed do you mean that they gave you a bad unlock code, or the way of unlocking it didn't work?
For me they've given me a code to input on the dialer to bring up the box to input the unlock code. However THIS code doesn't work. So i can't even input the unlock code. Furthermore they say that some models will automatically bring up a box for you to input the code when you insert a locked sim, but that doesn't happen for me either.
So when you say that some didn't work, then one did work, what do you mean by that?
Thank you
