So I have a huge problem, I bought this phone second hand and the Sim Network Unlock prompt showed up but I didn't have any code, so I thought it was the SIM pin, I entered it 5 times and did not work, then it showed me the SIM PIN and PUK to be entered I did that and now it shows me Invalid SIM no matter what SIM I actually try to use on the phone. But now I have a code for the SIM Network Unlock but the prompt does not come up anymore. I tried a factory reset on it and then inserted the SIM and nothing. How can I force that prompt to show up again. Thank you for your help.
Please update it by sideload the 4.6.6 update.bin And check whether it was asking for puk or network unlock pin

I did that, but it doesn't work... It also does not ask for PUK... It asks for pin because the sim has a pin on it... and when I enter the pin it says SIM accepted.

But would installing CM11 force the prompt of network unlock prompt? Or would it unlock the phone? Also I tried installing CM11 did not work had to reinstall Fire OS, prompt still did not show up.
I have also same problem.what can we do for this problem?
i got old fire phone from market place , the unlock code type several times wrong
the phone is locked yet with " PUK " , i called with telekom german support they say only
"repair" is possible by sending device to support.
any news how to force again " PIN " for unlocking.

Hello
I will be getting the cingular 8125 from my cousin who is in the States.
I live in Pakistan. I have been going through the online tutorial
of this phone and came to know that if i enter the password
incorrectly 3 times, the phone will prompt me for the PUK code.
Now i would like to ask is that, since I am living in Pakistan and
will be using the phone here and also since i m NOT a customer of
Cingular, i wont be able to know the PUK code.
I think the best way will be not to enter a password first of all,
so no password ...no chances of entering a wrong one and getting
the phone to lock up...but still...if it prompts me for a PUK
code, how do i go about it. Can somebody tell me some shortcut
for this problem?
Thank u all

PUK codes are for the SIM, not for the phone (though some phones do lock up if you keep using the same SIM). I would assume that you will be using your own SIM card in your..cousin's..phone. When you got your SIM card, there should have been a PUK code somewhere in the package. So if you..forgot..the PIN to your own SIM card, you should still be able to find the PUK in the package.
thanx zeboxx
yes..i got that PUK code with the sim
i will use it if ever my phone demands it..
thank u

If you entered the SIM nr. 3 times wrong the card is locked... you need to enter the unlock code.. but if you entered the code 7 times wrong you can throw away your sim card Get to your mobile operator so they make you a new sim.
I think he does not want to call someone, but to put in his own sim, but his diamond is simlocked ftw...
If you want an unlocker, for free of course, pm me
regards
Firstly, this is the wrong section you're posting in. Next, be clear. Is it SIM Unlock code for carrier based lock or SIM PIN Unlock? If your SIM pin is locked for further tries, call your operator' cus service and ask for puk code.
Regards,
Carty..
why try so many times. you wont be able to unlock ur diamond just like that
I found it out: it is about 5 hours!!!
I installed cm 9 to my arc and it is usable without sim. But when I insert the sim, it wants a SIM network unlock PIN. What's that? It isn't the sim lock code because I entered the sim lock pin after the phone lock and before my lock pattern.

Just press dismiss and ignore it. It's some CM thing in the ROM.
Do I need to dismiss it every time I reboot? Its okay but its better with a solution.

Yes, because there is no solution right now for it.
The sim unlock code is provided in the box that u bought the sim from. if its a pay as you go pack try to find the sim unlock code if its pay monthly is really hard to find the code, i think they might need to get u a new sim card.
Hy All,
I'm from Romania but I bought a Fire phone 64 gb, locked on T-mobile Germany, not from Amazon but from a Telekom shop.
I take it because of good price and also to try and test if will work on Telekom Romania network...it desn't work... but i was also prepared to buy the unlocking network code, and also bought that trough a friend....also updated to OS 3.6.6
Meanwhile, when i was in stand by to receive the unlocking code I inserted a romanian carrier sim card...input pin....the phone request the unlocking code...inserted a couple of times the numbers wrong...after dismiss and played trough menus..camera....after i closed the phone in waiting the unlocking code.
The code was send it to me after paying to T-mobile Germany ....and very excited open the phone to insert the code.....but now the phone is requesting the PUK code, instead of network unlocking code....I input the PUK code from sim card...phone says "unable the unlock the PUK"....it is normal not to be able to unlock the PUK because is still locked on T-mobile....and I figured out when insert the network unlocking code wrong for couple of times, the phone will block permanentrly the sim card.
I made it a factory reset, but after insert other carrier sim card the phone still asking for the PUK code and is not able to unlock the sim by PUK.
I have the phone...the unlocking code....good sim card....but i cannot proceed to insert the unlocking code because i played and inserted wrong...i think i am the only stupid in world who made this
Someone can help me with a solution? some combination of buttons...some hide menu to enter and insert the unlocking code?
Maybe if I will buy a T-mobile Germany sim card with activated roaming....insert sim....enter the PUK code of that sim, phone will be able to unlock that PUK protection over the network, and after insert another carrier sim will be able to input the unlocking code?
Regards and hope someone can help.

same problem here
Please help us.
First remove the romanian sim card from the fire phone and insert it any other UNLOCKED phone than try the change the sim pin code with your sim puk numbers. After that remove the sim pin request from the simcard than put it on your fire phone and try to unlock process again.

Hy All,
Long silence..because of work.
So... i send it back to Germany to test the method who was adviced from Telekom call center...I have talked with the support team from Telekom Germany and it seems to solve the problem it is must to insert an plan (abonament) sim card ( not working with a pre pay sim card) from the network who is locked ...it doesn't matter of who have the plan sim...one of your friend or in a shop...and it must be insert the PUK code of that sim and it remove this locking and registering to theyr system, and after will be able to insert any sim card and insert the unlocking code...this is what they told me on the phone...
They have tried and inserted several times an abonament sim card....same problem...but i think they and also people from Telekom shops are out of this space with technics/phones.... all tell me not working...now wait to send in service...maybe they reinstall the software.
Someone tried the method described above by the user "ease_the_pain" or an hard reset (vol. up + vol. down + on/off button in the same time)?
Maybe a hard reset will make the phone to start from beginning with unlocking request... if someone will make the phone work after hard reset please leave message asap...i want to avoid to send the phone in service and tell to my friends to send back to me..
Thx and Regards
Solved

Does it ask for a puckcode?
It said "new sim" and it asked for pin code... After it, the phone wanted a code to accept the new sim (not the puk, but they inserted a wrong code 10 times so the phone blocked the sim slot). If i'm not wrong, it was something like simcode ME

no, it was imported from switzerland (used phone) and it worked well with "poste mobile" sim... now they changed with a new one "vodafone" sim and it asked for the "new sim code"... Could it working if i reset the phone?
You could try but I don't think it would work I think you must unlock your phone I could be wrong about the unlock part
