[SOLVED] This phone is permanently locked and cannot be unlocked - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title says my phone is hard sim locked.. I am not hopeful but i will try my luck with asking here..
Is there anyone faced this problem and solved it ?
I dial 2945 #*855# and all of the options are not possible to enter any IMEI. all of the says "This phone is permanently locked and cannot be unlocked"
I tried putting a sim card different from my provider but it doesn't ask any unlock code to enter and 2945 #*855# is the same..
It happened after flashing a custom rom and it f**** my phone. Also i can't afford to any other phone, i am a student
So I would be glad if anyone can help me to resolve my issue. I believe I will never forget him/her.

Losing the IMEI code is the worst thing that may happen to a modder.
Try to connect device to PC and follow this procedure to put it in stock conditions.
However I'm much pessimistic about the recovering of IMEI code, try and hope to solve the issue.

Lost IMEI need help

Dear Friend,
anyone of you have G-PRO especially those with non-international version should backup your IMEI before trying to upload any new ROM. To back up, please download the tool below (I took it from M_Tool of someone I don't remember) and run it from a CMD Administrator windowl; you should also have your phone connected with debug mode, rooted phone and adb.exe shall be in PATH.
I bricked up my phone with losing the IMEI, i could restore partly now but could not connect to 3G network (only GSM). The reason was that my back up lacking of some files. So anyone have G-PRO F240L or a 988 please be so kind to give me a version of your backup. I need that to make my phone back to a smartphone.
Regards,
Quang

Have you tried taking your phone to a service shop? I believe that would be your best shot. They might restore it in a matter of minutes...
You might have better luck choosing an independent store rather than a licensed one.

some times its a imei issue. in my case it was sim tray issue. i had to change the sim tray from service center only.
have you taken backup before flashing new rom?
if yes, then restore the EFS folder from CWM or TWRP backup

[Q] IMEI Suddenly Gone

Hi, I have this phone Xperia M Dual, C2005. When I woke up, both of my signal bars are marked X ang cannot connect to network. When I check my IMEI, it says NULL. It happened suddenly, I didn't do anything aside from rooting only. That's all. Is there a chance of gaining my IMEI back? I can't use my phone without IMEI. Thank you. :crying::crying:

Service center is my last option. . :crying::crying::crying:
This happened to me once but it turned out my carrier was just updating.
Wooohooo. . . I am happy, I tried all ways and the last made my day. . . . I used took PC Companion for the last shot before giving it to a service center. . . And it's finally fixed. I don't know what happened and I don't know why. I'm glad I didn't spend a single cent just to repair the IMEI. But what does this screenshot mean? What's the TA: 0x55 -> 0x55? Thanks. :victory:

this phone is permanently locked and cannot be unlocked (lg d855)

hi,
i have soft bricked my lg g3 d855 so i flashed it using lg flash tool but now i have no network & when i type 2945#*855# in sim unlock process it says "this phone is permanently locked and cannot be unlocked" with a "dismiss" button in all choices.
i tried everything reflashing ,flashing just the modem,updating it with lg pc suite ,downgrading to lollipop & kitkat but it doesnt seem to work & i read that this error comes from using incorrect sim unlock code too many times but i never tried it or from incorrect IMEI but my phone imei is correct. and it was working befor brick.
edit : from times to times the network get back for about 4-5 seconds then it goes back to no service
pls help me you're my last hope.

Urgent help needed after Nougat. IMS has stopped working

After Nougat update I'm continuously getting this message "Unfortunately, LG IMS has stopped" every 2 secs.
I have reset my phone but the problem still persists.
I also tried going into hidden menu / modem setting / and tried going into VOLTE / IMS but not able to do that since I keep on getting IMS has stopped error and not able to disable VOLTE.
Need a quick solution.
I have my SIM unlocked for other networks
Any help would be appreciated.
i am having this exact same issue and i see you also had your phone unlocked by asadnow2k so we no that there is some sort of issue with that type of unlock and android 7.0 i am confident that asadnow2k will fix the issue if it can be fixed
##RTN#
You can try dialing ##RTN#(requires your MSL) this will reset all settings and unlock will gone. After this you should unlock the phone again. Hope this helps! But not 100% shure.
any other ideas to solve this??
in case anyone was wondering doing the ##RTN# reset does get rid of the problem but then you are left without an unlock

After reset with Hidden Menu issue is resolved but Unlocked is gone and now device has sprint settings
And Is sim unlock available on Nougat?
Or would it be safer to downgrade to Android 6 using Lg Flash tool?

Downgrade is not working for me
I used LGUP and tried all V3, V5 and V4 but nothing can be worked on LG up tool.. May be nouget can not be rolled back
Infact i bricked my phone but then i used LG mobile support application and restore my phone which is back and running on nouget again..
I bought a service for unlock from ebay but that person also can not unlock the phone on nouget so seems like now we have to wait untill GCPro guys comes with unlock

My phone was sim unlocked but after the update I keep getting com.android.phone has stopped, I dont have the msl code so is there a way to reset the settings without the msl?, ive tried ##72786# but it didn't work, if someone who has sprint is willing to help me out that would be great. Thanks in advance
Any other solution
So downgrade not working as confirmed by ppanf.
Can't reset MSL code since that would mean sim lock and as of now there is no unlock on nougat.
Any other hack guys???

MSL can be retrieved by anyone who has GCPro or any other similar tool? I tried reaching to some folks on ebay and they got the MSL for me however they were not able to unlock the phone.. Ebay guys told me contact next week and they might have a solution for 7.0
Custom rom
Can't we just root the device and install some custom rom...?
Which is marshmallow based...
Is that possible...?
