Hi, I have spent all day trying to unlock my mda, i have followed two methods one one to install lokiwiz and open this with my phone on active sync connected to pc, it opens then says your simlock code is your code type it in with a diff sim?
I have then put my new sim in the phone and it is asking for an unlock code 8 digits long?
I then tried another method of using Enablerapi.cab which open on your phone and this seemed to be going great, used lockiwiz on pc and the it told me to type in U for unlock, after following this method it still asks for the code!!!
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME!! IVE WASTED ALL SUNDAY ON THIS!
read the '[READ FIRST] The Definitive Guide to Unlocking & Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards' sticky in the wizard forum.

U. Unlock
L. Lock
C. CID Unlock (SuperCID)
Q. Quit
follow the instructions exactly
Hi and thanks for your reply, wish i found that guide yesterday!
I am following it exactly but only got as far as the downgrade rom, it came up unable to update your pda with this software, please get up to date software? (not exact words).
Sorry but I am not PC minded at all, but can follow instructions so confident with your help i will get there in the end.
Thanks again
PS
Just checked the IPL etc and it is a G4 phone???????? does that mean it can not be unlocked, had the 2.21 with lots of 000000's.
Thanks
firstly my i'm sorry to hear you have a g4
secondly, i'm not sure about the details (get busy with google) but you CAN flash other roms it just takes more effort. I think that you need to flash roms which do not include a ipl & spl
check out post #230 in this thread (i use this rom btw)

i just read eslewhere that you need to pay to unlock it
I am using lokiwiz unlocking software and procedure on my Cingular 8125 with 2.25 firmware. The problem is that my unlock code is "SIMLock Code" but when I try to enter that into my phone when prompted for an unlock code, the provided space isn't large enough. All I can enter is "SIMLock ". What am I doing wrong?
Get the latest version of lokiwiz - HTC Wizard Unlocker. I think its version 0.2b. from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474. it will unlock for you. Read the instructions carefully and know what you are doing.
It will all be done and is really simple if you ask me
on the screen, look for SIMlockCode, and it the NUMBERS that you enter.
I just unlocked mine about an hour ago, so i know it works
again its the nubers listed NEXT to simlockcode halfway down the screen
I purchased a network unlock code from a site ive used many times. I put in a different sim in and it prompted for a code. I entered the code it said it was unsuccessful so i tried it again with same outcome. I read about having to use *#7465625# to unlock it so i tried that with no results. I figured if i flashed back to stock maybe those codes would work but that didnt make a difference. Now it no longer prompts me to enter an unlock code but will not register on the network. Ive read that it may be frozen but im not sure how to enter the unfreeze code. Can anyone help me please?
Did you get any codes other than the sim unlock code? You'll need a complete set of codes to unfreeze the phone asit is probably hard locked at the moment.
What phone do you have (i.e. i747 or i747m)? What stock ROM did you install on the phone?

Are you on Android 4.3? If not you just need to flash the 4.1.1 radio to free unlock the phone. By the way, i heard that after 5 failed attempts of inputting the network unlock code your phone will need a master unlock code to unlock.

Im on 4.1.1 but would like to use a custom rom will that affect it? Ive read that it may be frozen after 3 unsuccessful attempts but I dont think i entered it 3 times. I do have a defreeze code aswell but how do i enter it?
Are you on completely stock 4.1.1, including the bootloader? If you are, did you try unlocking the phone using the free method from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176719 ?

No i have clockworkmod but its been so long I forget how to uninstall it though Ive figured it would help me unlock it. Ive read that free unlock doesnt work on all custom roms plus I already have the code so i might as well use it

I recently bought 2 i747M, one comes with 4.1.2 and one comes with 4.3.
For the 4.1.2, I just need to flash back to the 4.1.1 stock radio (the ROM is still 4.1.2), then I just follow the instruction below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024514
(You need to be on stock rom in order to have the dialer code working)
For the 4.3, I play it safe and bought an unlock code for it which works on the 1st try.
Hi, I'm hoping someone here might have some suggestions on what to try with my following issue. I need to unlock my i747. I've gotten an unlock code from AT&T, but it flat out does not work. I've called AT&T support 8 times, and they have been no help. they say they are opening a tech support ticket to troubleshoot the issue, but each time they just come back with the same unlock code that fails to work. I'm on stock 4.2.2, it's a phone given to me that's never been rooted or modded in any way.. Can't find any reason why it would fail to unlock. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
What bootloader is on your phone? If you have an older bootloader, you may be able to downgrade the phone to 4.1.1 and unlock it using the free method.
Unfortunately, the bootloader is up to date and so I can't roll back. My understanding is that would certainly brick the device if you're not on the old bootloader. Can't understand why a legitimate unlock code would fail to work, anyone seen that before?
Your original post says you're on stock 4.2.2. Can't rollback once you have the 4.3 bootloader.
aha, that's a typo. sorry, meant 4.4.2.
So you're getting the prompt to enter the code and, after entering the code, it is still locked?
I enter the code and it says the unlock failed. then re-prompts. I reboot the phone and continue to get the prompt, and the phone remains locked.

Are you entering the code with a non-AT&T sim in the phone?
yes, I am testing with a T-Mobile sim card. that's what triggers the unlock prompt. thanks!
Even though you are getting the prompt to enter the code, try this:
a. Go to the Dial pad and dial *#197328640#
b. Please click on number [1] UMTS > [1] Debugging screen > [8] Phone Control > [6] NETWORK LOCK
c. You will see 3 options
d. Please click on number [1] Perso Sha256 INFO, the screen will change slightly
e. Please hit the MENU button then when the menu pops up please carefully hit BACK to return to the previous screen
f. Next Please click on number [2] Perso Sha256 ON, the screen will change again to a one line message
g. Restart the phone on the screen by holding the power button and click RESTART
h. When the phone prompts for the unlock code simply enter the unlock code provided to you
i. Your phone is now permanently unlocked!
Thank you audit13! That did the trick! I appreciate your detailed response and instructions. I don't understand exactly what we did there, but whatever it was ,it worked!
Hello,
I have a Sprint Galaxy Note 4 I'd like to unlock. I called sprint and got the unlocking code. I was to wait 72 hours for the phone to be fully unlocked. Then, I needed to swap my sprint SIM with a different network SIM, and the phone would prompt me to enter the code, and that would be it. Unfortunately, I received an email with the following message:
Letting you know your CPO SAM N910 WHT SNGL on line XXXXXXXXXX cannot be
unlocked due to programming restrictions associated with phones like
yours that were manufactured before February, 2015. You can try
providing your master subsidy lock (MSL) code XXXXXX to your new
carrier to find out if it will work on their network.
Keep in mind we can't guarantee your older phone will operate correctly
on another carrier's network. Each wireless provider determines whether
or not they will utilize the MSL code to reprogram a phone for use on
their network.

I put a different SIM in my phone, boot it up, and I get an invalid SIM error, but the phone does not prompt me to enter a code.
I have read and seen multiple Note 4, including the Sprint variant, being unlocked. Does anyone know what I need to do to unlock it?
Thanks

Thanks - it's kind of hard to follow the instructions. It's unclear what he is doing.
It would appears that you first place the phone in download mode. In his instruction, he attempted to do that, but the phone rebooted. Is this a necessary step? Then he put the phone in recovery mode. But after that, he doesn't show you want happens. He simply moves on to unlocking a different phone. Is simply putting the phone in recovery mode unlock it? I doubt it... do I click on the Unlock button while in download mode to unlock it? It's not clear

Follow these steps exactly
Before you begin you must have samsung usb drivers installed in your windows pc.
1 download cdma yemen tool that i mentioned in my earlier replies.
2 put your phone in adb mode by dialing ##3424# and choose adb+dm (very important)
3 reboot device
4 open tool and connect your device via usb cable (WATCH OUT CAREFULLY FOR ANY POP UP WINDOW ON YOUR PHONE YOU MUST ALLOW PERMISSION TO CONNECT DEVICE WITH TOOL.
5 inside tool click on port/adb and select your device.
6 choose your correct model N910P of you have Note 4 sprint.
6 click UNLOCK TAB in tool and wait until your device will reboot automatically.
thats it.
After reboot hopefully you have permanently unlocked device.
If your device successfully unlocked then dial ##3424# and select mtp+adb back to normal.
The guy is showing in video all the stuff that this tool can do so dont go to download mode or recovery or anything because that's for removing frp lock and other stuff.
Let me know if it worked for you.
By the way if you are on latest QI5 firmware i am not 100% sure this tool will work because QI5 has latest bootloader/modem and it's not easy to unlock.
If this tool did not work for you let me know i have workaround.
Good luck

I am on QI5, and I didn't see a adb+dm option. I did see a DM + MODEM + ADM option under QUALCOMM USB SETTING (see attached screenshot), so I selected that.
The tool says Unlock Done With out Root... but it doesn't appear that the phone was indeed unlocked.
What's the workaround you have?

Yes DM+MODEM+ADM i was meaning.
The workaround i have is you have to flash Twrp RECOVERY and have to flash "ENG ROM" DONT FLASH ENG BOOTLOADER OR BASEBAND YOU WILL END UP UNKNOWN BASEBAND AND NULL IMEI.
Flash the rom from twrp and Also you have to flash supersu.zip to get full root with eng rom.
after that you have to use tool "Z3X SAMSUNG TOOLS PRO v27 or higher"
I cant share links here on xda for z3x because its heavily paid tool but if you search on youtube "z3x pro cracked" you will get 100s of videos with links to download.
HERE IS THE LINK FOR ENG ROM BY @freeza thanks to him.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...leakmm-sm-n910p-touchwiz-marshmallow-t3327350
After flashing eng rom the rom will take 35 minutes to boot so be patient and wait and also make sure battery is fully charged.
After that enable DM+MODEM+ADM as i mentioned earlier and you can unlock from z3x domestic use for american sim or unlock for international sim use.
Once phone is unlocked you must have to flash QI5 stock firmware via odin and do factory reset from stock recovery and dont worry the unlocking will stick permanently.
I personally did this method on QI5 ON my own device and it worked just fine.
I REPEAT DO NOT FLASH ENG BOOTLOADER OR MODEM OTHERWISE YOU WILL SCREW YOUR DEVICE COMPLETELY.
Cant explain more you got the idea i guess...
Good luck.

Btw try first the cdma yemen tool to.unlock with this rom with root. Maybe it can work.
It appears that I am not able to install TWRP... I install it via Odin from AP, and the install is successful. But when I try to boot into recovery, I get the stock recovery....
I tried TWRP 3.1.1 and 3.2.3... same thing. What am I not doing?

Open odin and uncheck auto reboot in odin options
Choose AP and flash twrp
After Odin shows pass remove battery
Insert battery and Boot straight into twrp by volume up+home+ power
If your phone reboots after flashing twrp the system overwrites the stock recovery over twrp thats why you are losing twrp so do not reboot system after flashing twrp.
Once you booted into twrp then if will stick permanently and stock recovery will never show up.
If i was helpful then consider hit thumbs up on my replies.
Thanks! It took a while with multiple flashes, but I think it is fully unlocked now. I am able to put a Verizon SIM card in it and get no sim card error message.

Put sim card in phone then
Try dial ##72786# and press yes
Phone should reboot then you should get reception and.no sim massage won't show up.
Usure if anyone still using this. But I just got my phone unlocc using it on crikket/att. Unsure why you got a 7 wait but I was able to make phones and use internet immediately after I unlocc the phone. The only problem I'm facing is being able to use 4g o the phone.

You won't get 4g/lte because n910p sprint note 4 is CDMA model and you need GSM model for 4g on at&t/cricket.
