Is there an alternate way to enter the SIM unlock code (other than booting phone with unsupported sim inserted)?
For older/other phones there was a code like *smth*#UNLOCKCODE*# etc; wondering if something similar is available for this phone.
Thanks,
Mike
You need to contact with your career and them gives you a specific code. In my case (orange) i have this code without problems. Small charge required for that. This method take off simlock permanently

Yes, I already have the code you mention. I was just wondering if there's another way to enter it (not via the SIM Unlock screen).
I think this is only way to do that. I had sgs2 earlier and there was another way to unlocked phone without code and was very easy (by app). But here i dont have so much knowlege with simlock unlocking

Hi All,
I purchased a Siemens T-mobile unlocked phone on eBay, and just received it.
The phone is not unlocked and it doen not reads my current SIM ,
however on the face of the phone there is one sticker that says , "UNLOCK CODE xxxxxxxx" There is an eight digit number which is the unlocking code i guess.
I wanted to know how to go about unlocking the phone.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

SX56 unlocking
The SX56 is a HTC Wallaby, if I remember right. Since you have an "unlock code" on the device, give that a go first. Insert a sim card that it should not work with (due to the simlock) and start the device. It should then ask for the unlock code. Enter the 8-digit code. If it's accepted, you are done.
I used to have an SX56 (among other wallabies). Some were locked, but I never unlocked any of them with a code. You can do it without that. Grab the "special" rom from the FTP here (/Wallaby/ROM/) and flash it on the device. When it boots up for the first time, it will ask if you want to unlock the phone. Click yes, and it's done. After that you can flash any other rom you like, the lock doesn't come back.
There is also a simple exe that you can run on the device to do the same thing, but some files need to be present on the pda, so it might not work with the current rom.
In any case, you should be able to do it, especially with the code and all.
I want that program please

I want that program to unlock one that i have, mi email is [email protected]
Hey guys, so I've managed to unlock the bootloader AND root my Wildfire S. I don't know what other steps I need to take to ensure that I can use another SIM card in it.
It still says that the Sim card is locked after unlocking the bootloader and rooting (I know that rooting is in no way connected to unlocking the SIM).
I tried purchasing an unlock code form eBay but the code didn't work.
What are my options now?
Will creating a Gold card and following these instructions do the trick? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22208351&postcount=8
Also, if I flash the stock ROM, will I lose Croatian keyboard that is in the phone currently?
Thanks in advance!
sim lock can only be removed by xtc clip or htc itself.
no goldcard or unlocked bootloader will help you.
If you flash the stock rom that corresponds to your device you will not lose the keyboard.
So flashing a stock rom wont help with the sim unlock?
No. The Sim-Lock information is stored in the phones radio firmware which can not be changed yet without an xtc clip. So Sim-Lock is independent from the operating system.
Ok, thanks for the info.
I still don't understand why are all these sites and ebay sellers selling unlock codes if the unlocking is only possible trough XTC clip.
The guy that sold me that faulty code said that they work in 99% cases, and refunded me without a question.
I don't really see how that could be a viable business if it doesn't work :-/
Is there a way or app that I can use on this phone so that I can view my SIM Unlock Code AFTER the phone is already SIM Unlocked?
I ask because I bought two of these phones unlocked and would like to have the Unlock codes saved just in case I need them later.
Somehow I seem to have messed up or lost my unlock on one of the phones after I rooted it and flashed a new recovery / rom.
It was unlocked, now, If I put an ATT sim in it asks for my unlock code again and I do not have it, as the phone was unlocked when I got it.
Though, when I press *#7465625# to it says all the locks are turned off, like my phone should be unlocked?
Any idea why it is asking for my unlock code again, and if there is a way to get around it being that the phone was unlocked?
Is there a way to recover this unlock code?
Thanks guys!

Currently there isn't a way to view the code. Several of us have been digging through the system of the device to see where it's coded too. the thread here is where it's being conversed about. click here
How do you know for certain the phones were unlocked when you bought it? Did you try swapping Sims before you flashed anything to it?
I have mine unlocked and have flashed; two roms, cwm, a radio, and a few mods......still unlocked. I constantly swap Sims between my crap work phone and my Samsung, always works.

The person I bought both phones from told me they were both unlocked.
The first one I tried worked, the second one I never tried an ATT Sim until after I rooted, flashed, etc and then it wouldn't work.
He emailed just emailed me the Unlock codes for both phones and they work fine.
Either way, it's all good now. Thanks for the help guys!

Hello! I've been trying to figure out how to sim unlock my phones for quite a while now. I've asked everywhere, even unlocking sites how they get these codes (to no avail of course) and I never tried asking here for some reason. I want to learn how it's done, and how I can do it myself. My Dad jumps from phone to phone and always needs to get them unlocked. I don't want to pay for them anymore, I'd rather do them myself!
I just found this thread: [TUTORIAL] Unlock Samsung [GT-S5570 / i5500 / Galaxy Ace] which will help me unlock my aunt's phone which is nice I guess, but it looks to be a Samsung only method. Am I able to use a similar method with a phone that has an EFS folder? Is it in the nv_data file? How do unlocking websites retrieve the unlock code with just the model, network and imei? Do they simply ask the carrier?
I'd love for any sort of help! Just a guiding light, a path to follow, anything! Please and thank you!
Some phones can be unlocked using software exploits however most require a unlock code that is generated based on the imei as far as I know you can not generate these codes yourself
The short answer is that there are very few ways to get free unlock codes for phones these days. Samsung sometimes leaves system directories wide open which allows for a few tweaks to get the phone unlocked, but most other manufacturers have things locked down pretty tight.
The databases from SIM unlock services are filled with unlock codes which they purchase from manufacturers or component makers.
They have a app now that does it on the market but for how long who knows. U have to b rooted for it to work
unlock codes
Do you know what the name of that app is?
Hi everyone,
today I sent my p20 lite to amazon for a problem with the screen (it would seem a line at the bottom of the screen with burnt pixels). My question is: since I was about to unlock the bootloader with the code provided by the site when it was still possible to request it, I can still use it even if the device is different or connected to the IMEI and then to unlock it I have to go through other methods ?
As far as I know, bootloader code is tied to the first imei on p20, if device/imei is changed, so bootloader code. Additionaly, if you get new device with newest system updates you can't get bootloader unlock, or if so, it will cost ya around 50usd (unless DC unlocker (5usd) starts working again with newest os), but I don't know whether those more expensive methods even work, some people claim that they are, but all looks quite fishy imo.
Edit
okay, apparently, there's a way to unlock bootloader even with newest firmware - you need to downgrade os using this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-lite/how-to/root-how-to-install-update-t3841557 and then get code using DC unlocker
bootloader code works for your bootloader software (i once bricked my p9 phone so hard, i needet to reflash its software with testpoint method, after that, my bootloader code didnt work, used dc unlocker 4 euros, to see what code are, then i got different code for same phone with same imei etc.) so, if nothing drasticaly not changed with your mainboard softare, you need to be able to use unlock code you got.
