Hi guys
Have any of you suffered from this?
I got my TMO S6 edge unlocked bought it from a 3rd party about 2 years ago, been working with different companies here in Mexico without any problems, never had any problems with not accepting different cards.
Last night, phone still Ok, but on this morning i wake up and phone has shut-off, and after power on it, now it not longer unlocked, its not accepting any of my sim card from different companies across Mexico, it says "Network locked SIM card inserted"
And getting this screen everytime i reboot

I try with device unlock and it fails with this
I dont have any TMO card
I checked my IMEI on TMO database, it shows status OK
checked also on Mexican organism for it, and it also shows status OK
So i came to think, something like "unlock is gone"
Has any of you have come across something like this?
Really need to be able to recover my phone line x.x
Thanks a lot in advance for your replies

Can anyone guide me on the information and what it stands for in the pic below. I tried unlocking my bootloader but was unable via setool and I received error 144 so im not sure if its because their server is offline or if its because of something else. Though I have plenty of credits. Every other phoned unlocked fine today, well the semc ones eg w995 etc.

I have the exact same info in my phone. I would like to know the answer to what the network 5 means as well. I imagine will work on 5 networks or is locked to 5 networks, god knows.
The "X" Means your handset is Sim locked, will only work with the carrier/network it was purchased from, and afaik the 5 is the ammount of times you have left to enter the unlock code.
Thats weird because though my phone is o2 locked ive used a 3 sim in my phone. However what does the rest of it mean? I.e. The 0's and corporate etc

I think the SIM tray on my GSM Galaxy Nexus has taken a ****. Today, my data connection just dropped for no reason, showing no bars, just an outline. I figured my SIM card had slipped or some software bug, so I removed and reinserted my SIM and rebooted, but still nothing. I've messed with the SIM several times and flashed CM10.1 clean, still nothing. Tried flashing a backup, and again, still nothing. So I'm pretty sure it's a HARDWARE issue rather than a software issue.
So I swapped SIMs with my friend, her SIM wouldn't work either, but mine worked perfectly fine in her phone.
Is there anything I've missed? Can the T-Mobile store check my SIM slot to ensure that is indeed the issue?
Thanks in advance for the help....
Anyone have a suggestion?

my simslot wasn't working anymore so i brought it to the dutch samsung service center they did 27 days to return it not fixed. i have placed a little piece of magazine cover between the outside of my simslot and the sim it self and now it is working just fine. and i have learned a lesson try to repair it yourself first before sending it to samsung.

Hi!
I am facing the same "problem". I bought a brand new HTC One M7 and have this CW field in Settings. As far as I know, this is related to the carrier who imported the phone. I have noticed that, after an Android OS update, the branded apps come back to life, although I have uninstalled them.
I see that in your config you have ro.htc.config.COTA.CWver which I think is related to Carrier OTA updates. The string in CW field means the original ROM which your phone came with. I have also noticed this field doesn't update itself after an OTA update. At least this doesn't impact phone performance, so there should be nothing to worry about.
Greetings.
Could you please advise how to check whether I can just insert any of my sim cards or if the device is locked?
I know about this URL https://store.google.com/us/repair
I've tried to post there the IMEI of the phone I wanted to buy, but it looked me the following result:

I was concerned about "AT&T" string so I haven't bought this device (just don't want to play with soft unlock).
Does it really show the reality of lock status?
Thank you.
Hi. That's only telling you it's the AT&T "variant" of the Pixel 6 Pro - not that the phone is locked. You might have to call AT&T and give them the IMEI, and see if they can tell you if the device has since been carrier unlocked because I *think* they only unlock the carrier after the original person has paid the phone off.
It has definitely happened before where someone bought a phone recently and only then found they couldn't use it with their carrier because it was locked to a different carrier, so it does happen.
If through your efforts, you can't determine 100% that the phone is now carrier unlocked, I wouldn't take the chance. Buy an already unlocked phone straight from Google, or anyone retailer that sells the factory unlocked model.
I have a Note 10+ 5g that the screen cracked. Repair for this costs more than I could buy a used one on eBay for, so I went the eBay route. The eBay phone was a T-Mobile phone but I have Mint. After calling T-Mobile and giving them the IMEI, they told me the phone isn't network locked but when I set the Access Point Name for Mint network and inserted my SIM, it will not work meaning it isn't connecting to Mint's mobile network. Upon calling Mint, they told me it is a device problem. I tried my SIM and my wife's SIM in the eBay phone and neither work although they work fine in our original phones. Is this fixable or did I waste my money on eBay?
Try clearing data in sim toolkit app.
Network reset.
If the sim card is configured correctly it should fire right up.
Return it for a refund if you can't get it working.
I'm not familiar with this app. Can you find it on the play store?
