So I ordered the telus unlock code, it came, 16 digits. But it keeps saying unsuccessful. Tried the 2 different methods of sim card and no sim card. I also did a factory reset and tried again. One more wrong and it cannot be unlocked!?
I confirmed code, carrier and imei... The other LG g4 worked instantly... But this one does not. Anyone ever hear of this?!
Is this not unusual?

Hey guys,
I recently called T-Mobile and asked for an unlock code for my Dash, but when I received it I got my friends SIM card to try and it said the code was incorrect. I typed i *#06# on my phone and the IMEI matches the one I gave them, so does anyone know what the problem is? I recently installed Kavana's 6.1 ROM, so would that be a reason why? Thanks!

The 4-digit PIN code on a SIM card is something different to a SIM lock - which code are you talking about?
I'm talking about an 8-digit unlock code I got from T-Mobile. I borrowed my friend's SIM (which is a Cingular SIM) so I could test to see if the unlock code worked, but it didn't.

The unlock code sent from T-Mobile should've worked... The only thing I could recommend would be to double-check the code they sent you. Make sure it's the same one you're entering. You said that the IMEI that pulled up after entering *#06# is the same as the one you first gave them. That should eliminate the IMEI as a potential problem.
I ran into this when I unlocked mine... What I ended up doing was rebooting, entering in the code with My T-Mobile SIM in, then switching to an non T-Mobile SIM after the unlock to make sure it was unlocked.. it was.

How do you enter the unlock code while using the T-Mobile SIM??? I always knew the phone to need a SIM of a different carrier.
Yeah I wanna know that too... I really want this thing unlocked! I appreciate all the help.
I should have been more clear. Reboot the device with the other providers SIM, the simlock dialog should kickin, then before you enter in the code take that SIM out and put yours in, enter the code then switch the cards again.. Thats how I got mine to work.
I used a Nextel SIM if it matters.
I've also heard that there has been success with a program called DASHv2Unlock, it forces the device into the simunlock mode without a forgien SIM in it. I was going to hunt it down but my method ended up working in the end

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.
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

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 got a sim unlock code from AT&T today.
I took out at&t sim card and put in a t-mobile sim into lumia 900. It prompted me for PIN(unlock code). I keyed in unlock code for 10 times and the screen start to ask me for PUK. I entered the unlock code for couple more times and it still refused to unlock.
Then, I kept on trying until I hit 32 time. Then my lumia 900 kept complaining about invalid sim. I put my at&t sim back to lumia 900. My lumia 900 still refuse to recognize the original at&t sim. I borrowed another at&t sim from my colleague and his card will not work on my lumia 900 as well.
I went to AT&T device support store and they are not able to help me.
What option do I have now? I tried to refurbish my phone firmware and do a recovery. Nothing seems to work.
Did anyone has this issue previously? I will appreciate if someone can share his/her experience/solution with me.
Hi, I think you have completly loked the phone! I have a question, is the unlock code provided from AT&T? If yes I don't understand why you have check to enter the non working code for 32 times after the first 10 attemps. Why you don't have called AT&T for check if the code is right for your IMEI phone?
Same problem, has any solution for reset counters?

Hi,
I've bought a XT1952DL (DL stands for damn locked) in US and traveled back to Canada. When I insert a Sim card from different providers, it does recognize it (Network SIM lock message) but it won't prompt for an unlock code...
Any idea on how I can solve this issue?
Thank you!
Dl is for trackfone variant it's very hard get unlock code for them
Metro PCS is the worst I've ever dealt with.... You need 180 continuous days of service locked to that IMEI to be eligible for unlock... CRAZY!
Perhaps we can modem flash? How are the variants encoded? How can we convert?
So... I flashed the stock modem and everything else stock, now I get a SIM Unlock code entering box... but I can't find anything that can produce it, paid or otherwise :/. At least now I don't have any MetroPCS garbage on the phone.

Are you saying you flash the XT1952DL to Retail? If so, how!? This phone is a pain... I found a remote USB sim unlock for $30, but would like this thing on retail ROM :/
