Hi !
I just started to play with a Wildfire S sim locked by Orange (Cid : ORANG202).
I unlocked it (but it's still S-ON) and flashed successfully several custom roms (Marvellous CM10, CyanogenMod 10.1, AceOne 2.2).
Then I installed a Free Mobile's sim card. The phone only asked me for the sim card code pin, it was accepted, it but I had no network at all. Note that this sim card works in another phone.
I thought it was a simlock problem, that's why I asked Orange for the unlock code, they gave it to me but ...
My problem now is that the phone NEVER asked me for a network unlock code. I have no network. Some roms display a red cross on the sim card icon on the top bar.
Does someone know what's going wrong ?
I finally got it working after flashing nearly stock rom. The phone finally asked me for a network unlock code !
Thank you for your help guys :silly:

I just received my nitro and I'd like to know if it is carrier unlocked. I popped in my orange sim card and booted up the phone. I wasn't asked to enter a code however. I'm still in the states, should I confirm with a tmobile sim card or is it safe to say my phone is unlocked? Thanks.
If it has accepted non at&t sim then it is unlocked obviously

do you have a custom rom? if so it may not ask for code, so it may still be locked. Try t-mobile sim just in case.
Thanks to the both of you for your replies. I was on a fully stock lg nitro. It turns out I was inserting my orange sim card the wrong way therefore the sim lock notification never came up. I popped in my sim card correctly, and sure enough it was blocked. I entered my code and everything went perfectly. I'm now on CM9!! Again thanks for the help
Hi guys, I'm trying to network unlock my M8 to use in Germany. I've inserted the card and typed in the network unlock code that I bought. Unfortunately, it is hanging on "Requesting network unlock'
I have tried factory resetting the phone.
What can I do?
Thank you
Are you stock, which carrier?
AT&T Skydragon rom
Try stock rom if you can see if that helps. Do a backup of your current rom, flash stock then restore backup
I'd suggest go back to complete stock also.
thanks, going back to complete stock worked. However my SIM card is locked every time I turn on the phone.
What do you mean your SIM card is locked? Do you mean you have to enter a pin to unlock the screen?
Network unlock requested?

Hello folks,
I asked that question a while ago in VomerGuides thread, however the problem wasn't resolved.
The thing is that when I got my sim card and phone from Vodafone (in the Netherlands), whenever I went abroad the sim card was working properly. Then I unlocked my bootloader, s-offed, rooted, achieved super CID and installed custom recovery. After this point whenever I go abroad, and I try to join a network within the particular country the phone says that the sim card doesn't support the selected network.
I talked with vodafone, they said everything is fine with them. They also gave me new simcard in case there was a problem with the old one - nothing has changed. I still have the problem...
Any ideas whether the problem is actually caused by all the manipulations I did, or there is something else?
Hello.
I'm from Portugal and bought an HTC 10 wich is locked to T-Mobile.
Already got unlock code for it but i insert a portuguese network sim card and i never get the message to place the unlock code.
I checked the IMEI at T-Mobile website and it shows : Your device is blocked and will not work on T-Mobile’s network.
Already unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone, thought that would be enough to overcome the T-Mobile app ( wich is to unlock the phone for the network ).
Any tips or comments on how i can solve this issue and use the phone with another sim card?
Thanks in advance
