to my luck, i got the unlock code for my htc s621 but i don't know where to put it. can someone please help? i'd really appreciate it. does the unlock code mean i can upgrade to wm6 or i still have to do something else? please tell me the instructions to input unlock code. thanks in advance.
p.s: i tried putting 3 old fido sim's with no access, i still didn't get any unlock code prompt etc - it just booted up and had no network access, that's all - i can't wait to put the unlock code in. is it possible to input the unlock code using the original sim i.e. rogers (it's a roger's locked phone).
also if i have the unlock code, can i use DASHV2Unlock from imei-check and make my own UNL file by putting in the code in a text file and putting the UNL extension or can someone help me make a UNL file as i already have the code. please help, thanks - i'm going crazy trying to figure this out, i have the unlock code but i don't know how to unlock it even though i put different network sim's - no unlock code prompt. phone's locked to rogers.
ok, i tried the text unl file, doesn't work - can someone guide me as to how can i make the UNL file, please - thanks.
where did you get the unlock code? don't they provide instructions?
the only way to flash a different rom is to cid unlock through imei check. if you haven't done that then you need to.
i got the unlock code from a member that's on gsm forum and xda developers - his names tupisdin. he was nice enough to provide the code but unfortunately, he didn't give me the instructions and i didn't pay - he gave it to me for free and it worked for a member of gsm forum, i need help, though - i want to try the unlock code but i don't know how to - i tried putting different sim cards from a different carrier, no luck, no unlock code prompt. so i'm wondering if someone can help me.
please help?

I hate to say it but it sounds like you leg got pulled. unless that guy has the program to generate the unlock code from your specific IMEI (in which case you would have had to give him your IMEI, which is a big no no, and could cost you lots of $$) then the code he gave you is false.
to SIM unlock your 620/621 the code is derived and generated off of your specific IMEI, so a general code will not work.
also, to get the prompt to put in the code, put in a foreign SIM into your 621 and it will ask you to unlock. that is where you input the SIM unlock code.
best of luck and i hope it works, though bout 99.9% chance it won't.
i did give him my imei. so it's a code that's generated off my imei. i'll try and get a foreign sim card and see what happens. thanks bro.
If i were you i'd be a little bit worried. if someone has your IMEI they can clone your phone and rack up a HUGE phone bill which you will be required to pay.
concerning the foreign SIM, foreign in this sense doesn't mean overseas etc... as long as it's a SIM that's not of your carrier it will initiate the sim unlock.
Incorrect. you have mixed up IMSI with IMEI. IMSI is property of SIM card and that's what can be really misused for that very purpose you were reffering to.

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.
Try this
#7465625*638*# (Insert Network Lock Keycode)

I've already tried that, the phone doesn't respond to this keystroke sequence.

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!
I've had my Cap Glide for about a year now and when I got it, I called AT&T and got an unlock code, so I could use it on T-Mobile. A few days ago, something happened and the phone was asking for an unlock code again. I called AT&T to get another code, but they don't do it over the phone anymore. Now it's done through their "unlock portal" website, which denied me twice to get another code.
I have looked through through XDA for ways to unlock it on my own, but without much success. Does anyone know of a way for me to unlock the phone simply for network use? The phone is not rooted or modified in any way.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Man, what a nightmare...
I moved from Vancouver to California in February, and I've been trying to unlock my phone from Wind ever since. They provided me with an unlock code that doesn't seem to work. Then, after waiting 30 days for them to get me a new code, they gave me the same one. At this point, I doubt that the code is a mismatch to my IMEI, but it's just not working...
Here's the facts:
I have a SGH-T999V running 4.4.2. When I put in the T-Mobile sim card that I'd like to use and then try to put in the unlock code, I get an error message saying that the unlock code was unsuccessful.
Here are the questions that I have:
Do I need to be on the Wind Network to have the unlock code work? I selected T-Mobile as the network operator ever since I moved down to California.
It seems like other people with my version of the phone have had similar issues...is there a solution to this problem?
Can the fine, fine people of this forum help?
This has been a problem since 4.3 with some Samsung devices. Only thing I can suggest is try regionlock away from chainfire to see if it will unlock, which is probably unlikely. Make sure you are on stock firmware with stock kernel

Hi Andrew, it just says "Network unlock request unsuccessful."
I tried rooting my phone and using regionlockaway, which said that the patch was successful, but it seems that wasn't the solution.
It's pretty frustrating since I paid Wind for the unlock code, but it won't unlock my phone! Do you think that there is anything else I can do?

Welp, I'll give it a try, but I've seen in other posts that people have been given the runaround by Samsung, who say, "This is because of how Wind locked your phone, can't help you."
I'll update this post with my progress, in case other people are having the same trouble.
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?
