Locked SIM ! Help needed from experts - Note 7 Questions & Answers

I have bought Galaxy note 7 from UK, but when i tried my sim card I got a message says: Enter unlock sim code so I think the phone locked to O2 UK, Is there any possible way to hack or unlock the phone without getting back to O2 UK?
because the phone right now in UAE
I appreciate any help to solve this issue, I have no problem to pay to get unlocked. Even tried some websites with no luck

Assuming that it is a SM-N930F model you can install custom recovery / root / custom rom if you like, for example this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-7/development/rom-hydra-rom-v1-0-t3447611
I'm sure any carrier lock is gone after doing this.
But make sure before you start this procedure, to activate developer options, and in developer options menu activate usb debugging and OEM unlock.

Samsung i780 SIM CID unlock?

Hello,
Is there any software around to SIM and CID unlock this amazing phone?
thanks,
Joao Oliveira!!
Hi Joao
I'm expecting my i780 to arrive end of this week and am also looking for a SIM unlock- unfortunately it doesn't seem like there is one around - even finding a website where you pay to unlock is difficult!
However, someone on Modaco unlocked his Orange i780 using a pay website:
http://www.modaco.com/content-page/264705/I780-Locked-GPS/page/40/
Alternatively, perhaps flashing the ROM will work? Must admit that I'm not going to try this method yet as posted on the thread....
How much is your network charging for the unlock?

Hello,
Thank for you response.
Any news on unlocking this device? have you tried flashing a new rom? did it work? to be honest i am very scared of flashing a new rom on a locked device, i dont want to brick it.
My network charges me 130euros for unlocking the device. Not too much since i paid very little for it but still ...
Thanks.
Joao Oliveira.
Hi - yes in the end I paid £19 to get it sim unlocked on the day that I got the phone as at the time there was only a test pda rom I think.
Anyway, my sim worked fine once I unlocked the phone but I couldn't get the GPS to work. I think the italian splitted radio rom was available after that so I tried flashing that - it didn't help the GPS, and in the end I had to flash the pda as well (the MSHC3 rom).
Now everything is working thanks to the guys here.
EUR130 is a lot of money to pay to get your phone unlocked....

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

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?

Any way to get the OEM unlock to become available?

Hello all,
I just recently bought a Google Pixel XL with model number G-2PW2100-022-B. I've read online that this could be the Verizon version but could also be the unlocked version. Does anyone know for sure which model I have?
Next, I didn't know that inserting a Verizon SIM would lock down bootloaders and such. Is it possible to get the option to become available again, ever? Even with a non-verizon sim card? I also have T-Mobile service and sim card but inserting and activating it on the Pixel didn't open up the OEM unlock option.
I've wiped it numerous times (factory reset) and I cannot flash the factory images, so does anyone know if I have a chance of rooting this phone/unlocking it? Or should I just sell it and try again?
Thanks, Sam
a non public method is available now to unlock your bootloader pm me
