Hey guys I purchased a unlock code for my phone and went through the steps of removing my Sim card and putting a different Sim card in, rebooted the one and entered the code and it states that it failed.
It's a att note 4 sm n910a on the straight talk network using one of their Sim kits.
Am I missing anything?

I bought my Galaxy Nexus and it was fine. and it was reading my Sim card fine.
but after i inserted my simcard again it kept on asking for SIM NETWORK UNLOCK CODE no matter what sim i insert. i wiped Device. and tried another ROMS still didnt work please help..
It happened after i ROOTED it.
At&t gave me an unlock code so my note 2 can be used in China. I don't have a china sim card yet. It seems I need the sim to enter the code. Is it possible to unlock without a sim card using the code att gave me?
No just get one of your friends TMO SIM and that will prompt for the unlock code!!!

Any non att card should work. I had tried to unlock with older nonatt simthat I cut down to the micro sim size to unlock
Alternatively you can just use the hidden menu to unlock which does need the sim unlock code and other sim if I recall correctly

I've tried unlocking my AT&T Galaxy Note 2 using service mode. I downgraded the phones modem to the 4.1.1 version and it worked. I used my metroPCS sim card and the phone did not ask for the code but it said phone not allowed MM#6. When I try to call someone it says emergency calls only. I was wondering if it is because the phone is still under contract or because I'm supposed to use a blank sim card and not one thats already been used. Please help.
I have the MSL code but when I put a sim card in for ATT and reset the device it says invalid sim card. I never get an option to enter the code in to unlock the device for another carrier. I am stock firmware not rooted. I actually tried loading ATT stock firmware on to the tablet and that didn't work at all. I can't take it to sprint because the person I bought it from is not in good standing with them.
Any help would be awesome!
I know this is old, but did you ever get your tablet sim unlocked?
I have one I have been trying to get unlocked, using an idoneapps unlocking app to debrand and unlock my tablet. I’ve run the app several times and while it got rid of the sprint branding and boot image, and says sim unlock successful, I keep getting invalid SIM card error.
ive reset network settings, my tablet is stock 4.4.2 firmware and rooted.
I am buying a Samsung Galaxy note 2 from craigslist. The post said the phone was locked to telus/koodo and so I messaged them saying that my simcard is from fido and would like to buy it than
unlock it so I could use it. He messaged saying he tried Rogers/bell and it wouldn't work and he doubted it would work with fido ( I don't know if he knows what he is talking about
because the post said it was locked ) and so I asked him if it was unlocked already or was it just locked to telus and koodo because I heard you could put a koodo sim card in a
Telus phone. He also said maybe the sim card reader is broken, but I thought if the sim card reader was broken it wouldn't be able to read any sim card at all not even telus sim card that it's supposedly
locked to. The phone is model SGH-I317M. I really want to buy this phone and it was the best one I found on craigslist. I am thinking of going to test if it is unlocked but how do I tell? Will a message pop
up when I put in my fido sim card in and boot it up saying "phone is locked, put in unlock code" ? :crying:

Yes a message will pop up asking you for the sim unlock code if it's locked. If it's not locked then you'll get signal. You also need to ask them what firmware is on the phone, cuz you can possibly unlock it from the hidden menu. Just search Xda for that.
Good luck on your new device ?
