Hi gang,
I have a Gnex, rooted with stock 4.2.2 and I am trying to unlock the IMEI using the following proceedure stipulated by my carrier:
- Insert a sim from another network
- enter IMEI unlock code (available on Vodafone's website)
However - it gives me an error message!
what is wrong - is it because my ph is rooted?
Please help - I don't know much about IMEI, but I need my phone to work with a sim from a new network (vodafone's coverage is ****!)

Hi, i'm noob and this is my first post. I got the Unlock code from ATT and tried it with my new sim. I was told by ATT that all I needed to to was insert new sim, power on, and the phone would ask for the unlock code. When I did it, it was asking for a PIN#. I entered the unlock code but it kept saying invalid. I got down to "4 attempts left" and gave it to someone at the local carrier. They gave it back to me unworking and now it says "sim error - sim not installed or is invaid. Emergency calls only. The sim is good and I have verified the correct unlock code with ATT.
Anyone know what to do? Is is a brick now or can it be fixed? Thanks in advance
I think you should use Nokia Software Updater for Retail to flash new Firmware to your phone
(Note: losing all data )
hi all,
i live in Pakistan , i have note 2 T889V version for wind, it is unlocked but in pakistan its not registering any SIM cards or network. please help me what to do ???????? im on 4.3 T889VVLUCMK4 version, please help me what to do, i tried to unlock it by *#197328640# method but no help
We're still missing some information.
Did the phone work back in Canada? Did you buy it online and just don't know?
Could it be blacklisted? (http://www.protectyourdata.ca/check-the-status-of-your-device-in-canada/ is the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association's IMEI check page.) And yes, those databases are international.
What does Settings / About phone say? Is your IMEI still valid? Which baseband are you using?
The *#197328640# service menu unlock won't work on the 4.3 stock ROM.
Hopefully you haven't messed anything up yet. Back up your NV items now.
Or check your APNs too.
Going by his "not registering" vs "no data" I'd say his APN settings aren't the problem (yet).
plzzzzzz
It was sent as a present. No its not blacklisted and was unlocked. Baseband is T889VVLUCMK4 . What is nv ????
Help Plz ?
Any response plz ???????

You will need to downgrade your phone to 4.1.1 or 4.1.0 in order to use that code to unlock the phone. It will not work on 4.3 as mentioned before.
Hi All,
Please help.
Goal:
- unlock N910P for domestic US (I have MSL code from Sprint)
- do not want to root
Details:
- account and phone is paid
- Sprint gave me MSL saying it is my unlock code
- 5.1.1
- has been reset to factory and cleared cache
- I watched a few videos saying that I need to put a different carrier sim in and it will prompt for the MSL code to unlock
- I have tired 4 sim from T-Mobile and AT&T, 2 are working sim from working phone... none will prompt for code
- I tried ##3282# which get me to manual settings but I am not sure if I should mess with it
- invalid sim for T-Mobile and AT&T but works fine for Sprint
- I read that it may work with Kit Kat but I cannot downgrade without root
Thank you all in advance.
Please let us not get into the debate of carriers and GSM/CDMA. I just need help with the unlock portion. Thank you again. :highfive:
Hello! Help is needed!
SGH- I747 Android 4.4.2, I747UCUFNE4 without the Russian language.
4.4.1- sews through ODIN, the error came at the end of the firmware and the phone will not boot.
Then set 4.3, everything works, except for cellular communication, IMEI - zero \ zero.
Question - how to restore IMEI or will only service center?
Thank you in advance for your help.
P.S. English is not my language, sorry for the spelling.
Installed home modem, which originally stood, and restore IMEI. But the phone is not registered to a network, it requires PIN unlock network, although firmware, worked in our network.
Question - how do now unlock?
So the phone used to work on your network and now it doesn't? Is the phone asking for a code to sim unlock the phone?

Hello! Before flashing the phone I worked in our network, and now writes - "SIM network unlock PIN". It is necessary to Android 4.4.2
It Fixable? I read that you can remove the unlock through Android 4.1.1, but it does not put.
Thank you for your response.
Once the phone is on 4.4.2, you cannot unlock the phone for use on other networks unless you can get a code from AT&T or buy a code.

Hi there, double post alarm sorry, but im only giving the expose and linking the rest to keep it short:
so origninal post Note 2 LTE - suddenly sim locked again ???, as "Droidriven" pointed out, i should have posted this in the appropriate device specific forum from the very start perhaps, so this is my 2nd try:
..so allmost ready to let it go, but with a glimps of hope out there...depending ou you guys...
the History(expose):
The phone: Samsung Galaxy Note2 GT-N7105 LTE ( t0lte ): initially locked to the Austrian Carrier A1, but i bought it allready unlocked.
2013 - root via clockworkmod and wanam light rom - later only minor changes - 2016 - updated recovery to TWRP 3.0.2 and cyanogenmod 13.0 - 20161118-NIGHTLY (Marshmallow juhu!! cool!!)
...suddenly not reachable via cellular network. Still able to make phonecalls and reachable via landline (pretty strange...) - Simcard-swap gave me request for SIM-unlock code
..so from now on no calls or whatever ..no signing on to the network at all
imei and baseband intact - only noticable alteration was unattended update to cm-13.0-20161122-NIGHTLY
-> reverted to stock - didnt help
unlock via free unlock methods aswell as paid attempts didnt either...
dd-ing back old backups: PIT-File and EFS-partition and Flashing original original Stock via Kies...no use...still locked
GalaxSIM unlock says unsupported Model - purchased Unlock code (including unfreeze code) no use....im stuck!!!
:crying:
What do you guys think? ...any suggestions
if you're confused (..as i am), check out the whole story
Thanks for any help in advance...
When you mention sim unlock code, are you referring to a code to unlock the sim or carrier/network unlock code?
I've never personally come across a situation where a phone re-locked to the original carrier after unlocking with a code or using a free method. This includes flashing ROMs, bootloaders, and modems to an s2, s3, s4, note 2, note 3, and note 4..

The quickest solution may be to buy an unlock code from eBay. Unlocking by code should be permanent.
