Can someone please help me? I have rooted my Note 3 and have tried SIM unlocking it with CHainfires region unlocker as well as the one where you enter the *# number. None of them have worked. I am at a loss. The one with Chainfires app tells me it is done but when I reboot it it still asks for unlock code. THe other way with the *# number, none of the options are in the menu that I am supposed to be able to access. PLEasE help. I am going crazy here.Thanks in advance.

Ok, so I'm sure someone will say this has been answered 100 times but I can't find it in the forums.
I have a locked T-Mobile Wing. I tried entering unlock codes but I guess I entered wrong codes enough that it's really locked. It boots to a screen asking for the Password to unlock (only shows a numpad on screen) and Active Sync won't connect to it (it says I have to unlock the device before it connects).
Hence, I'm not able to run the ROM loader tools which require me to install a CAB file on the device first.
Anyone have a solution to this?

you could just call tmobile and tell them what happened?
I'm sure they might have a way to unlock it.

Yeah.... I bought the phone on eBay. T-Mo says I need to be the original customer in order for them to provide me an unlock code.
Hello, i lost my telephone unlock code, so how i can remove it ? please help me, thanks bros.
There's a sim unlock utility in the Android Dev forum but once you've unlocked your phone, it should be unlocked, end of.
Which lock, exactly?

I think you might be referring to the lock screen. I did a quick search for 'bypass android lock screen' and found this, in the Android Market.
If that's really your phone and you forgot the screen unlock code, you should have no trouble entering in your Google credentials in your browser, and sending the app to your phone to unlock it. If that's not your phone and maybe you 'found' it, you should return it to the rightful owner, or hand it in to the police.
try this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGlnwNjW8LU
p.s you know your phone number coz you will need it
Is there a way to reset a permanently network locked phone? Got a used phone and I guess the previous owner tried to sim unlock without success and now that I tried to unlock it it tells me that "This phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked." I would really appreciate any response.

I purchased a network unlock code from a site ive used many times. I put in a different sim in and it prompted for a code. I entered the code it said it was unsuccessful so i tried it again with same outcome. I read about having to use *#7465625# to unlock it so i tried that with no results. I figured if i flashed back to stock maybe those codes would work but that didnt make a difference. Now it no longer prompts me to enter an unlock code but will not register on the network. Ive read that it may be frozen but im not sure how to enter the unfreeze code. Can anyone help me please?
Did you get any codes other than the sim unlock code? You'll need a complete set of codes to unfreeze the phone asit is probably hard locked at the moment.
What phone do you have (i.e. i747 or i747m)? What stock ROM did you install on the phone?

Are you on Android 4.3? If not you just need to flash the 4.1.1 radio to free unlock the phone. By the way, i heard that after 5 failed attempts of inputting the network unlock code your phone will need a master unlock code to unlock.

Im on 4.1.1 but would like to use a custom rom will that affect it? Ive read that it may be frozen after 3 unsuccessful attempts but I dont think i entered it 3 times. I do have a defreeze code aswell but how do i enter it?
Are you on completely stock 4.1.1, including the bootloader? If you are, did you try unlocking the phone using the free method from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176719 ?

No i have clockworkmod but its been so long I forget how to uninstall it though Ive figured it would help me unlock it. Ive read that free unlock doesnt work on all custom roms plus I already have the code so i might as well use it

I have the i747m with 4.1.1 and clockworkmod. Also I have network, provider, subprovider, defreeze codes.
Did you try any of these methods: http://www.mobileunlocked.com/samsung-instructions.asp ?

I recently bought 2 i747M, one comes with 4.1.2 and one comes with 4.3.
For the 4.1.2, I just need to flash back to the 4.1.1 stock radio (the ROM is still 4.1.2), then I just follow the instruction below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024514
(You need to be on stock rom in order to have the dialer code working)
For the 4.3, I play it safe and bought an unlock code for it which works on the 1st try.
So I tried to unlock the bootloader in my gx8 but the huawei page isn't working. :c Does someone know another way to unlock it? Pls.
Same problem
Same they are not working and I need to get root in order to take off sim-lock!!! for me they say IMEI and Veryfication Code are not compatible but I entered everything exactly as phone says!!
Please help.
