Hello i am having an issue with UNLOCKING my optmius 2x from fido. i just bought it and decided to unlock it, so i went out and found the most well know site i could to buy a code and made SURE everything matched up and it all did and still DOES Now my problem is as follows-
I entered the nck code first the phone quickley rebooted and i threw a new rogers sim into the phone but i got no bars and the phone told me there was not network then switched to no sim.
Then i put a bell sim card into the phone with the same response nothing.. so i went and put the rest of the codes into the phone and they all gave me network unlock request unsuccessful and same with the nck one now as well.. and i do not know if it said that it work the first time as it was just a quick flash
Now i have been geting help from people down in the optmius 2x section of the fourms they told me i should revert to stock 2.2 and i did with the SAME RESULTS! i also tryed an ics rom and i could not even get to the sim screen.
Can any one help me on this problem? i am looking to use my phone and i am not able to at this time
The phone is now rooted and runing ics
let me know how i can fix this
Thanks in advance!
So over 300 people have never seen this before anyone one know of a way to see if the phone is unlocked WITH OUT putting in a diff sim card like a terminal command or somthing? also is there another way of unlocking the phone via softweare?
also here is a video of the problem http://www.veoh.com/watch/v33213769CCkKgRTz
I was given the unlock code and it still says request to unlock network unsuccessful, it's eligible to be unlocked...
All help would be greatly appreciated.
Should I try flashing over back to this stock rom and then see: http://server10.stockroms.net/download/GalaxyNote2/SGH-I317/I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_ATT.zip
I hate being stuck in a rut like this, already had my account transfered to a T-Mobile microsim. This is driving me nuts...
The person I bought this phone from said they updated but then when I checked it was still at 4.1.2 and said something about update interrupted...
Or which of these should I use: http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=cat&id=71
Flashing a Rom won't unlocknyour phone..... Also what do you mean your still on 4.1.2?? That is the latest Rom for the phone. ... Where are you obtaining your unlock code from? The only time att provides it themselves is over the phone. You sure your not getting the wrong code?

Yes I got the code from AT&T over the phone, called them twice and got the same code 1-800-331-0500 they gave me 41907314... According to this: http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unlock-sim-for-free-on-gsm-galaxy-note-2/ if ya take the newest update, ya can't sim unlock the phone cause it takes out the “NW Lock NV Data Initiallize” (Step #9) according to YouTube user comments...
THIS IS WHY I'm wondering what Stock firmware I need to downgrade back to in order to get that option again and be able to sim unlock my phone.
So I'm wondering if it's I317UCALJ2 or I317UCALK7 that re-enables that option for me. Right now I'm on I317UCAMA4...

Sorry bout the 2 posts, I thought it'd auto-append them to my main post...
Okay now I keep getting errors on installing about a signature and then two file locations sdCard0 and I think extsdCard...
How can I fix this do I copy the image to sdCard (InnerSD)? Or do I need CWM to install for Scott's Stock ROMs?
Yup that worked, I had to use Odin and this image http://server10.stockroms.net/download/GalaxyNote2/SGH-I317/I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_ATT.zip and followed these instructions on installing it: http://androidromupdate.com/2012/11...y-note-2-sgh-i317-original-factory-stock-rom/ then unlocked it with the directions galaxynote2root.com had listed...

Yea after all that it's safe to upgrade back to 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 or nearly any compatible rom you like.

No I mean while doing this process? Odin thing.. does it matter which SIM I have to keep in note
This http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unlock-sim-for-free-on-gsm-galaxy-note-2/ is the tute I believe, gotta remember it's been 2 months since I did this, so I'm not quite 100% certain. LoL
I'll be having to do it all over again too, by the end of this week possibly, since some jerk decided to steal my note 2 I had to go to ebay and win a new one.
I don't think it'd matter during the Odin flash with a AT&T sim card or T-Mobile one in it, I can't remember if I did it with or without a sim card, but to be on the safe side I'd do it without a T-Mobile sim card in it, just for that first successful boot... Then do the 4.1.1 unlock code method, take the back and battery off then pop in the T-Mobile sim card(Or whatever other non-AT&T carrier sim card) and see if it done it correctly...

I bought an AT&T live demo note 2 that was used in an AT&T store. I used this method from youtube, popped in my niece's T-Mobile microsd and dialed 611. T-Mobile's customer service rang and answered showing it worked. You need 4.1.1 to use this method though. I'm going get me a microsim today since my vibrant doesn't use the micro.
FREE HOW TO UNLOCK SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2
You do not really need the unlock code. Do a search in the forum as you cam just unlock it with Samsung' service menu.

The above is not true - if your phone has upgraded firmware, you will NOT see the item "NW LOCK NV RAM...." in your "NETWORK LOCK" "PHONE CONTROL" menu.
So, the ONLY two solutions are:
1) keep bugging ATT to create a case for you and investigate
2) downgrade to 4.1.1 modem (NEED TO READ/UNDERSTAND HOW TO FLASH etc.)
then apply the Samsung service menu "fix" as shown in the above video...*
*Then, you could upgrade to newer ROM... if you wish....:cyclops:
Hello XDA community,
I have Verizon's LG-VS870 4G LTE smartphone [http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-VS870-lucid2]. Now I'm in Canada and would like to use this phone instead of buying a new one, therefore I was told to unlock it. Apparently it's legal to unlock your phone now: http://lifehacker.com/you-can-now-legally-unlock-your-cellphone-heres-what-i-1614787933
So I searched online for how to unlock my LG phone. Found many results that tell me the first half of the steps. Found a couple of threads here too about it, but no concrete solution. Some people said this phone isn't going to work on GSM after you unlock it, but I found this patch thread here that says otherwise: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394689
I have the original Verizon SIM card with me too.
Won't ya kindly help a bloke out and tell him how to get the unlock code for his LG-VS870?
So, I tried to root it and was successful with Framaroot. Then Installed Clockwork. Then attempted to install the above mentioned patch using Clockworks recovery mode, but it didn't appear to fix the GSM lock. Whenever I insert my SIM card I get an icon that looks like a SIM card with a question mark inside a red circle at the top right. And when I try to dial a number, any number, I get some chineese lady saying something.
Any idea what does that mean?
I just unbricked/unrooted my phone back to 711A firmware and 4.1.2 Android as it was all the way from the beginning.
Here's the vocaroo recording of the chinese lady(WARNING! TURN DOWN YOUR VOLUME FIRST!): vocaroo.com/i/s0C5ObqOLK6Y
Ok ill try and be brief regarding the issue im having...i bought a t mobile m8 off CL. Took it home unlocked the bootloader, rooted, and flashed viper rom. it wasnt until after I had done all this that I noticed the phone is actually s-off. Amyways, i got the phone for my wife to use on her metro pcs account. I found a site online and ordered the unlock code for it and received it 10 min later. I proceeded to put her metro sim in the phone expecting to be prompted to enter the unlock code but I never got the prompt. After that I spent the next 24 hours on the internet tryin to figure out wut to do. I wasn't sure if that meant that the phone is already unlocked or not and dont really know how to check that. I do know that when i put the metro sim in and set the proper apn i can't even get calls and text's to work. I get not signal of any kind, nothin. Nothing i tried produced any results. At this point I have gone back to bone stock kit kat, no root, and bootloader relocked. That didnt accomplish anything either. So basically Im wondering if anyone knows why Im not being prompted for the unlock code, if there is a way to check if the phone is unlocked other than putting a different sim in since we only have the metro one, and how to I get this phone activated and recognized on metro since I know ive put in the correct apn.
I tried to be brief but failed miserably. Any help at all would be phenomenal. Thank u!!
Hi all. I have G3 bought from my carrier it is on stock lolipop recieved over the OTA. Only thing I was messing with it is TWRP and root.. As I thought it is sim locked I put another carrier sim in it. It boots without asking me for sim unlock code but can not connect to network and not allow me to enter network settings to o it manually ( it is greyed out ). The other sim works fine in another unlocked android phone.
Someone have an idea what is going on??
I have no idea. Sorry man

I had my share of rooting and installing custom recoveries and ROM-s for a long time, so my current thought is, is it possible that it is just software locked somehow?
I never saw this before..
Solved the problem, it was built in the Rom provided by my carrier "Vip.rs" grab my hand on new Sim card of different carrier on Fulmics 3.1 and it is carrier free. Just to tell you, if more people in Serbia have the same problem.
