Hii to all
Now I have to say something for most users who have bought it
over some carrier on contract like I have done
I asked when I was buying K5 PLUS are all sim slots locked to the provider I bought from?
She checked it for me on paper and said, yes, the phone can only be used with the carrier
SIM cards only and that was for both slots...
Well I was lazy to check when I got home if she was right or wrong...sometimes they do
not have the right information
But today after QFIL and after i Installed the firmware with QFIL
I tried a different carrier sim card in the sim slot 2 and it works
Both cards works
Tested so far..
So, maybe a try for someone locked to some carrier..
Good luck with flashing and just do it exactly step by step all of
you should not have any issues

I am buying a Samsung Galaxy note 2 from craigslist. The post said the phone was locked to telus/koodo and so I messaged them saying that my simcard is from fido and would like to buy it than
unlock it so I could use it. He messaged saying he tried Rogers/bell and it wouldn't work and he doubted it would work with fido ( I don't know if he knows what he is talking about
because the post said it was locked ) and so I asked him if it was unlocked already or was it just locked to telus and koodo because I heard you could put a koodo sim card in a
Telus phone. He also said maybe the sim card reader is broken, but I thought if the sim card reader was broken it wouldn't be able to read any sim card at all not even telus sim card that it's supposedly
locked to. The phone is model SGH-I317M. I really want to buy this phone and it was the best one I found on craigslist. I am thinking of going to test if it is unlocked but how do I tell? Will a message pop
up when I put in my fido sim card in and boot it up saying "phone is locked, put in unlock code" ? :crying:

Yes a message will pop up asking you for the sim unlock code if it's locked. If it's not locked then you'll get signal. You also need to ask them what firmware is on the phone, cuz you can possibly unlock it from the hidden menu. Just search Xda for that.
Good luck on your new device ?
As above really. Not really sure if it's a hardware or a software error here. I've read that the sim card readers can be a little fragile but there was no fuss during the removal so I would be surprised if that was the issue. What I'm wondering is if I've missed something when un-rooting my phone.
I was using a custom ROM, all working fine, but I've got a new phone so I decided to unroot my old one to sell on. I flashed my original firmware using the LG Flash Tool. Firmware file is "UK Vodafone 16G D85510A_00.kdz". It all went great as far as I could tell and I started upgrading. The final upgrade was the install of Marshmallow 6.0.
In order to find out if my phone was locked or not I put my Wife's SIM in. Rather than coming up and asking for an unlock code it simply stated that there was no SIM inserted. I thought that was potentially down to the wrong SIM being in but when I tried mine I was met with the same error.
Have I missed something? Did I need to change the baseband or something during the process?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I've had kinda same problem since a couple of weeks ago...eventually SIM card gets read for a short while and get back to that No SIM card inserted state.
It has happened with any ROM as well as OG FW flashed through LG tool.
I haven't tried another SIM on my G3 but my SIM does work on other cell phones.
Hi.
First off, thanks for the help!
Here's my first question:
Most everywhere I've looked I read people stating that CDMA phones DO NOT have sim card slots.
Well, I've purchased a prepaid Moto G from US Cellular. It is CDMA and it DOES have a sim card slot.
Matter of fact, it comes with a sim card to install right in the box.
SO...
I don't understand what does that mean?
Do CDMA phones now come with Sim slots?
Or is this some kind of CDMA/GSM hybrid?
---------------------------
Hopefully getting that cleared up here's my other question:
I want to unlock this phone. I tried inserting a different sim card but the device never asks to enter an unlock code.
Would there be any Roms or any other way you could recommend I could try to unlock this phone?
Thanks again for the help!
Got my Redmi k40 today. It doesn't recognize when I put in SIM cards (tried multiple confirmed working SIMs in both slots). All guides and help online point towards tinkering with stuff that requires root or at least flashing with an unlocked bootloader.
If I'm not fully mistaken the phone demands a SIM card in order to even unlock the bootloader. Any suggestions on what to do?

I bought LG Wing from USA T-Mobile variant and it says its permanently unlocked inside T-mobile app but when I put sim card, it says no sim card inserted. It never asks me for pin code so it looks to me it doesnt detect sim or something like that. I tried other sim card aswell but no luck. Any help regarding it?

Have you found a solution? I have the same problem as you. According to T-Mobile the only problem would be a hardware issue
