Hey I have my sim unlocked I did it using the hidden menu method I have used it on simple and more recently metro. I got a new Nexus so this is now my backup. The other day I put my girls tmo sim in and it worked fine but today I put my mother's metro sim in and it wouldn't get a signal. But it didn't say insert sim. So did I inadvertently relock my phone to tmo by putting a tmo sim in it?
Also I am on cm 12.1 and I don't have a PC to Odin back to stock so is there a way to unlock the sim without having to go back to stock?
No re lock is possible.
There's no way you can relock your phone , it doesn't work that way, once is unlocked stays forever.

I got an unlock code from Tmo and borrowed a AT&T SIM from my friend. She doesn't have internet, and I put in the unlock code in and it was unsuccessful. Then, when I got home, I tried using another AT&T SIM, but this one is not active. When I put it in and rebooted, and there was no prompt to unlock. Am I doing anything wrong? Or what is the proper way to do it?
Oh yeah, I pulled the battery when I changed SIMs.
Does it matter if you are stock ROM or a custom? Mine worked on stock just fine, never tried it any other way though.. Maybe a factory restore? It shouldn't matter if the non-carrier SIM is active or not either..
Im on Jugg 5.0....
Should come up as it detects the different carrier. Try making a call on the ATT Sim. You might already be unlocked for some reason.
HI,
I rooted an 747M on 4.3, install a 4.3 rom and sim unlock the phone with cellunlocker.net. It worked, other sim worked.
Then, I want to roll back to the stock 4.3 from nandroid backup. =bootloop.
reflash recovery and screw it, get my custom rom back from the second nandroid backup.
It worked. BUT I DIDNT test the phone with an other SIM...
I sent the phone ti my bro in other country and he said that the phone is locked.
I thought that SIM unlock is for ever , no?
thank you
I'm surprised because I didn't think the phone could re-lock.
Is the owner being prompted for a network unlock code or a sim unlock code?
Hi guys, I'm trying to network unlock my M8 to use in Germany. I've inserted the card and typed in the network unlock code that I bought. Unfortunately, it is hanging on "Requesting network unlock'
I have tried factory resetting the phone.
What can I do?
Thank you
Are you stock, which carrier?
AT&T Skydragon rom
Try stock rom if you can see if that helps. Do a backup of your current rom, flash stock then restore backup
I'd suggest go back to complete stock also.
thanks, going back to complete stock worked. However my SIM card is locked every time I turn on the phone.
What do you mean your SIM card is locked? Do you mean you have to enter a pin to unlock the screen?
Network unlock requested?
Hi man,
I have the same problem.... Canadian Htc One m8 google play edition locked to Bell... I have rooted and unlocked bootloader... unable to s-off...
tried to sim unlock my device and after inserting another sim and unlock code it just hangs on the screen saying " network unlock requested...
Tried everything and nothing helps....
maybe some developers here can figure it our...
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.
Need some help here .
I flash unlock g955u1 firmware successfully and it running great .but I decided revert back to tmobile stock run unlock app to unlock my sim network .it also went through. But when insert metro pcs sim card I could not get data working .Also if I factory reset my phone and run unlock app again it said my is locked
Any help please
With a Metro Sim, you need to call Metro to switch it over. It's not automatic with them.
EDIT: ALso, you need to change the APN settings for Metro to get data

You're lucky. Anytime you switch sims or put a new sim in a phone, you have to call MetroPCS. I've never been able to just put a sim in an unlocked phone or even a different METRO phone and have it work immediately. I have always had to call.
