hi, a friend gave me a cellular mobile company O2 I tried to enter my sim but asks me the network unlock code to use it with sim Italian.
How can I unlock it without having to call O2 or having to pay 20 euro for me to unlock and pay with paypal?
there is a method?
I tried it with galaxy ace unlock but I do not appears the unlock code, I flashed this rom and I changed the permissions of root

ACE 2 only can be unlocked by IMEI. You have to pay for that service.

I unlocked the phone via a network unlock code. But the next time I booted it I was asked again for it and went WTF - wasn't this supposed to be permanent? It was on my old Desire HD and Optimus 2X and persisted across ROMs, but the Galaxy Nexus asked me after a simple reboot, not a ROM flash or bootloader unlock.
Anybody else having this issue? I'm going tomorrow back to the GSM service where I bought the code from to ask for it again :|
Did you get anywhere with this?
I got my unlock code for my o2 UK GNex from o2, and it does unlock the phone.
When wiping or sometimes while just rebooting, it'll ask for it again!
Just annoying more than anything, but surely once it's been entered once it should never ask again...?

Hi Mircea,
Had the same problem with my vodafone GN purchased in Romania.
I bought an unlock code from the shop in Bucharest and they unlocked it with a Cosmote SIM. It cost f...g 50 EU...
When I got to Israel and put in a local SIM I got the request to input the code again.
Spoke to the local mobile carrier and they had no clue.
I got very very very lousy support from the Vodafone people. They told me stories about how the unlock code might be only national and not internationa (BS....).
Anyway - to cut a long story short I flashed the 4.0.2 Google ROM (I had the Samsung build originally). After doing that I put in the SIM again. Used the unlock code I had from Romania and lo and behold....it worked.
SO it might have to do with the using the Samsung ROM.
If you still can't solve it - try flashing ROM from google if you're on the Samsung ROM.
I forgot about this thread; I have obtained the unlock code again, saved it in notes, on the computer and on paper. It asks for it again on every ROM flash, possibly kernel but can't recall, so it isn't stored in the radio for some reason. Annoying.
BTW, Mine costed 25 EUR. Kind of wanted to kill myself when I found out it was being sold for 10 on eBay.
WRITE DOWN YOUR NETWORK UNLOCK CODE, YOU WILL NEED IT LATER

So on the custom ROM, the code you used in Romania didn't work in Israel?

An NUC (Network Unlock Code) unlocks a handset for all networks worldwide.
There is no local code or international code.
It seems that for whatever reason, when you are unlocking the radio it isn't saving it in the radio SPL.
Given that it worked when you flashed a stock Google ROM I will assume that Samsung have broken it in their ROM.
Hi
I bought my Galaxy Nexus from someone on ebay and I assumed it would have been an unlocked phone .. However after using it for 2 months, it was suddenly unable to access the network (Vodafone, UK).
After upgrading phone to 4.2.1 and changing SIM card, there was still no improvement. Then Vodafone informed me that my phone is "locked" to their network and I need an unlock code.
I have, since, purchased an Unlock code, but the device does NOT prompt me to enter an unlock code when the Vodafone SIM is inserted. The directions in the unlock procedure have been advised as below:
1.So... type *#7465625*638*
2.Then type YOUR UNLOCK CODE
3.Type #
4.Press ENTER or OK
I have no idea how to type a number in the dialpad and press "Enter" because the only option I have is to "dial" .. which leads me to a "no network" error.
At my wits end ... any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
thanks !
If it's a Vodafone phone then a Vodafone SIM should just work - the SIM lock would only apply to non-Vodafone SIM cards...besides, all Galaxy Nexus' were SIM-free AFAIK

I don't know what network the phone was tied to earlier .. but I bought it and was using it with a Vodafone SIM. It's not a Vodafone phone per se .. and I was quite sure my phone was a SIM-free unlocked phone anyways.
But the tech support team at Vodafone say that the phone is locked to their network.

Please let me know if there is any way to unlock a mobile when it is NOT prompting for an unlock code when the new SIM is inserted.
thanks !
Hi all, I recently bought a new htc one m8 on vodafone ireland. I'm on a different provider so i bought an unlock code on line and it didn't work i got (incorrect password). I haven't registered the phone on any network as of yet (its brand new). My question is, Do i need to activate the phone on vodafone first, Then put in a working foreign sim to unlock with code i received from online provider?
Generally speaking, no, you don't. If it came from them, then it's already locked to them by default. You just need to enter the proper unlock code with the new sim. Another option to consider is that pretty much all M8s can be made s-off now(albeit for a small fee for the app that does it). Once you're s-off, you can just sim unlock it yourself without the need to purchase any codes. That's what I did. The instructions are here in the forums.

Thanks, Thats what i thought. The provider i bought the unlock code from told me to activate the phone on vodafone, Then put in a foreign active sim and it should work. But i put the code in incorrect 4 times, twice cause i thought i put it in incorrect and another 2 times to record it(take pictures to get a refund for wrong code). Do you know how many times you can enter the incorrect code before blocking the phone?
To be honest, I'm not really sure...I want to say about 5-10 depending on your device, but again, I'm not really sure.

If you go with SunShine to S-Off you don't need to unlock using HTCDev, as the latest version of SunShine performs the unlock as well as the S-Off without HTC knowing and without loosing APPs in /data such as calculator and flashlight.

If the T-Mobile site says it's blocked, then it is blacklisted. Sorry, it won't work on any network. You need to call T-Mobile and ask why it's blocked.
And the only way to network unlock the T-Mobile S8/+ is with the T-Mobile unlock app. Flashing the unlocked firmware and then entering an unlock code won't work. T-Mobile has to be the one to unlock it, and it has to be initiated through the app.

Sorry but now TMB can be unlocked through reading codes no need for unlock app, plus if the imei is blacklisted @ TMB so it is blocked for TMB only which means if he use AT&T sim after unlock it will definitely work !!!

That's absolutely false. If it's blacklisted through T-Mo, it's blacklisted for all US carriers.
And what's your source saying you can use unlock codes on T-Mo? Because no one here has been able to do that. Many people have lost money buying useless codes for T-Mobile.
