Help! Entering TMO USA TP2 SIM Unlock code, where do I enter it?

Guys I'm over in Europe and attempting to use a vodaphone SIM, I'm running NRG's ROM and radio 4.49.25.17.
T-Mobile had kindly provided the SIM unlock code for my TP2 prior to my trip but when I put in the Vodaphone SIM it doesn't prompt me for an unlock code?
Do I need to manually enter it somewhere?

I think its supposed to prompt you with a screen asking for the code, make sure the Vodafone sim is properly inserted and if that doesn't work you can try looking up the phones engineering mode.

Is the device booting into Windows Mobile & usable with the other SIM card installed? Where did you buy it? Sounds like it may be unlocked already. Anytime I put the wrong SIM in a locked device, on boot up I would get a message for the unlock code & device was unusable, would not progress past this screen. You had to either enter the unlock code or reset & remove the SIM card.

First, check if your device is unlocked by going to Start>Settings>System>Device Info and on one of the tabs, it should say unlocked somewhere. Or, you can check it by downloading ATCommander onto your device and entering [email protected]?40 into ATCommander. It should return 0 if you're unlocked. If it returns 1, you're SIM locked.
Now, if you are still locked, try flashing the Stock Tmobile USA ROM, and insert the Vodafone SIM then. Hopefully, a dialog should come up with an area to enter you unlock code. On the Kaiser, you supposedly had to be running the stock AT&T ROM in order to get the dialog unlock the device with an unlock code. Hopefully that will work. If not, TMobile tech support could probably answer this. Hope that helps

Does HardSPL and flashing a new rom unlock the phone?

Forgive me, I couldnt find the answer to this question.
If it doesnt, what is the best way to do it!
Thanks!

Are you looking to SIM unlock your phone?

Yes, sorry

There are various sites that will give you the unlock code which is based on your IMEI number, but you shoudl be able to contact the carrier that branded the device and ask them for the unlock code. Then just put the SIM card you want to use in the phone and turn it on, you will get a Network is locked message with a box for you to enter the unlock code you got from the branded carrier.

I havent been able to get an unlock code since the 90's - I use Tmobile and they wouldnt even consider doing it.

If you are unable to obtain the unlock code from T-Mobile then you may want to check this thread:

How can I tell if my SIM is unlocked?

I am S-off and Rooted. How can I tell if my SIM is unlocked? I will be traveling to Amsterdam this week and want to verify that my phone is ready. Do I still have to call Verizon for an unlock code?
Thanks!

Moved to proper forum.

I am not sure if the s-off and root alone are enough to unlock the phone. I had to call verizon to unlock my phone. It was a very simple call to verizon global department. The regular call assistants are useless so make sure you get transfered to the global department.

you must have either used an xtc clip or called Verizon to be sim unlocked.

To check if the phone is SIM locked, do the following:
Secuity==>SIM Lock==> if there is a cell to enter unlock code then the phone is SIM locked, otherwise the message will be "The SIM lock Disabled" Good luck.

I am not sure about this but i do not think that is true for some phones because if you root and unlock it with some of the procedures here for some phones it still will do that but your sim is unlocked in the actual hardware and not a software unlock someone correct me if im wrong.

Ive recently unlocked gsm , but can't change to GSM mode ( always show CDMA mode)
change to GSM mode , Incredible 2 show
"there is no Sim Card on your device . Your device will switch to CDMA mode now"
try another Sim card , change to GSM mode ,still show ""there is no Sim Card on your device . Your device will switch to CDMA mode now""
My incredible 2 , new in a box 100%
Unlocked by code
Solution ??? help

In order to switch to GSM you have to have an activated SIM card in place from a local provider (AT&T or T-Mobile); otherwise, the phone will not stay in the GSM mode and will default into CDMA.

[Q] Unlocked and Still Roaming?

So I sim unlocked my GT-S5660m with the BML5 method and it is also rooted. It was originally locked to Virgin/Bell and I have a Fido sim. The unlocked worked as I checked the lock status and they are all off.
The problem is that when I put my Fido sim card in it takes it and shows me Fido as the network I'm on but it says that I'm roaming? (the little R icon by the signal bars shows). How is it possible that I am roaming on the network I'm supposed to be on?? Has anyone run into something like this?
Quick update. Did a factory reset and battery pull and now it asks for the network unlock pin code again. I enter it and it unlocks it again but it seems the unlock doesn't stick...

Requesting network unlock hang

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?
