Could anybody assist please. I have bought a G3 from somebody on ebay and when I start it up, the device is asking for a MacAfee pin. Without this pin, download and factory reset are both disabled. I have not been able to get in touch with the seller yet however, from what I have been reading, after a factory reset, this will happen even if the user hasn't even opened the MacAfee app previously.
Could anybody help with this or have any experience with similar? :crying:

Can you post a screenshot of the mcafee screen? Also have you tried powering the phone off holding vol down and power to get into the boot menu and trying a reset from there?
You may have to press vol up on the screen to get into the boot menu.

I can't post a screen shot as my device isn't functional and I don't have a camera however my screen is pretty much this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53722932&postcount=1 without the 'wrong pin too many times' warning.
I tried the reset option that you mentioned but this is disabled by the security as is download mode. :crying:

I get directed here: https://lge.mcafeemobilesecurity.com/forgot-password.aspx I'm hoping if/when the sellar responds to my messages, I can somehow get a pin using the mobile number of the card that he used.

Hopefully the seller will get back to you and curious is it a UK seller with a D855 or a Korean model?

No, it's a uk model. The seller has got back to me. The code was 123456 (obviously )
It's a 3UK version. I assume I can flash the generic uk kdz? I'm on EE.

Not sure too be honest and I would stick with the 3UK firmware as this seems to support all LTE bands and the generic EU version seems to have an issue with certain 4G bands from what I have read here.

I bought a t-mobile dash with WM5 from ebay, I sent the request for sim unlock to t-mobile, and I also received the sim unlock code soon. but the unlock code is not working in my dash, when input the code two times, the below message appeared :
you have tired 2 times please wait for retry.
but I know if I try much many times, the phone will be permanently locked, so I did not try again. I also send email to t-mobile, but no feedback so far.
appreciate anyone suggest me. thanks
have nice day to all
make sure when you provide the IMEI is correctly spell, and also whether your phone IMEI (*#06#) and the back of your phone IMEI is the same, and that number is the number that you give to them. I got mine unlock with t-mobile too, my phone IMEI is two number extra more than the one i found from the back but they will figure it out and send me the correct unlocked code.
If the IMEI you provided is correct, then the previous owner nuked the configuration data or entered too many times a wrong code. I would be able to verify and correct that. Drop me a PM and I will make you a reasonable offer.

same as your situation, my phone IMEI is also two number extra more than the one on the phone back, but I send the t-mobile the phone IEMI(*#06#), not shorter one, if the unlock code is correct, i do not know why it is not working. what should i do next?

The code you will get from them will be the same as the one u got from T-Mobile and also the same as I would find for you: there is only one unlock code. However, your problem is that either the simlock data area is corrupted or the prev owner tried to enter unlockcodes too many times. Ah well, tried to explain that already ...
I have had two companies give me the same unlock code which does not work. Is it a problem with the phone or a problem with the code?
Both say factory reset the phone but this has some issues I think, sometimes I get a red triangle or it reboots very quickly without resetting from the rom.
Phone is sim locked to Three UK (who have stopped fixing the phone directly and HTC won't look at it as its been boot loader unlocked)
Can anyone help with this if so, give full instructions and files needed. Thanks in advance.
P.S. it would be nice if a debranded rom could be installed.

ARe you on STOCK rom and stock recovery. If no go to full stock
I had the same problem on my One X locked on Orange Romania. It seems some GSM operators change the factory unlock codes. The only way to unlock it would be to have a buddy working at the GSM Operator or wait until the phone gets out of contract. I was unable to unlock mine.
yes I'm on full stock rom.

OK so I have got the code from Three UK and it is the same as the the others and does not work.
Does anyone think it is because the boot loader has been unlocked?

It shouldn't, I believe I had the same problem but I was on AOSP, I had to put a stock ROM on for sure.
It could be worth locking it to see though, it's not the biggest pain in the ass!
If no joy, Im out of ideas... sorry mate!
Good luck

My phone has this stock Rom already on it.. I would have to try putting another stock Rom on it. It it possible to put a standard unbranded stock Rom on it instead of HG3?
As far as I know ofcourse you can
OK I have put another H3G stock rom on and this does not work either.
After looking into this further I have found somewhere that if the phone is a replacement one or something was changed from manufacturer and providers with regards to databases for unlock codes then the one provided may not work.
Well my phone went into the service centre and they fixed it but stated after testing they decided to change the mainboard. I suspect because it was originally a CID 1111111 with S-OFF(unbranded as HTC described it) as it was delivered first day they came out. Rush job to get to market and didn't get branded to H3G_001 and S-ON I suppose.
Anyway I suspect that because the main board has been changed the the unlock code has also changed and not been documented or changed on the database for the codes. So they are providing me with the original code not the new one and the letter for the fix state IMEI code previous and new the same, so they must have just reprogrammed that and forgot about the unlock code.
Is there a way to read these off the phone, NVR or something?
I am with Orange or EE and I have tried to flash a stock rom with stock recovery and relocked bootloader and nothing has worked. I have paid 2 companies for the unlock code which is the same code and nothing works I am so frustrated might have to leave htc. This is ridiculous I am on 3.16.61 and my cid is orang001

That's strange. I have tried the code on two AT&T models and nothing happens. Which model do you have and can you explain what you did step by step to get it to work. I just entered it in the phone's dial pad and nothing happens.

It works for me, international version.
Also just put it as shown into the dial pad.
Though you should be abe to see some of the diagnostic tools if you go through the HTC Guide App, IF you have it in your app drawer? Doesn't give ALL of the possible diagnostics but it gives a couple of it.

International version. Just copied and pasted into the dialler. Have you tried enabling the developer options see if that helps?
Yep, developer's options are on. AT&T most likely removed the function or changed the code
After Nougat update I'm continuously getting this message "Unfortunately, LG IMS has stopped" every 2 secs.
I have reset my phone but the problem still persists.
I also tried going into hidden menu / modem setting / and tried going into VOLTE / IMS but not able to do that since I keep on getting IMS has stopped error and not able to disable VOLTE.
Need a quick solution.
I have my SIM unlocked for other networks
Any help would be appreciated.
i am having this exact same issue and i see you also had your phone unlocked by asadnow2k so we no that there is some sort of issue with that type of unlock and android 7.0 i am confident that asadnow2k will fix the issue if it can be fixed
##RTN#
You can try dialing ##RTN#(requires your MSL) this will reset all settings and unlock will gone. After this you should unlock the phone again. Hope this helps! But not 100% shure.
any other ideas to solve this??
in case anyone was wondering doing the ##RTN# reset does get rid of the problem but then you are left without an unlock

To update I think you need to put in an activated AT&T SIM. You can find on eBay for $2-3

Not sure about rooting, but as I have replied to a few guys here about updating. Try removing your Sim card, then factory reset. When it reboots DO NOT connect to WiFi and skip everything to get to the home screen. After your at the home screen connect to WiFi and go to settings and check for updates. If it works, do them one after another until is can't find any more.
That worked for me and the only thing I can think of. It's worth a shot.
