Put a sim card from from another provider to your phone. Than it will ask you to put the unlock code.

It seems that people say to upgrade the rom and it should work.
Some older threads discussed this. The new rom is available at XDA-Wiki
Good luck!
I'm sitting here with my locked cavalier waiting for the unlock code to come to me!

I'll definitely consider ROM's upgrading. Thank you for the advice.
However, I'd like to post some feed-back about people behind http://www.x02ht-unlock.com/
( Dear forum admins, PLEASE do not remove this message. It's quite emotional, but I'm posting it to achieve one of two possible results. And every one of them is positive enough:
- people behind x02ht-unlock.com would hear me finally, and help to solve my problem (and, probably, I'm not the only one who has the same problem, but couldn't get any feedback via the support form);
=OR=
- someone wouldn't spend $50.00 for no result. )
Their support was more than terrible: they replied to all my questions promptly, but only until I finally sent them money for an unlock code ($50.00).
The current state: my phone is still not locked, and no one at support @ x02ht-unlock.com is willing to even talk to me on this problem.
I've done everything according to the instructions, but still get "SIM locked" message. I've sent them my problem's description (and even attached a screenshot), and no one replied to me. I sent problem description via email and using their "Send a question" form. Both both were left without _any_ reply.
It now seems to me, that they're cheating and the program never worked for anybody (someone on the internet can say it works, but who can be sure that he's not the person who receives money for that program?)
Even if the program is working, in fact, but they simply don't know how to solve my problem -- they could tell me about that and offer to return my money (because the program didn't its function). So, it's cheating anyway.
The worst thing is that PayPal won't cancel this transaction under any condition. Here's what they say:
We have completed our investigation of this case. No further action is
required by you at this time. We have denied this claim. As stated in

Please try and send ur feedback!
1. Power on phone with a non-original SIM card inserted
2. When prompted, enter unlock code you received from us
Attention! Use the onscreen keyboard and make sure that wireless mode is OFF.
3. Your cell phone is now unlocked
If you see a message Sim lock.. You can still make emergency calls your phone has a blocked counter due to several previous incorrectly entered unlock codes. Plug your phone in charger and wait about few minutes to few days until it allow you enter unlock ...
if tried 1 times = 30 minutes
if tried 2 times = 1 hours
if tried 3 times = 2 hours
if tried 4 times = 4 hours
if tried 5 times = 8 hours
if tried 6 times = 12 hours
if tried 7 times = 24 hours

Hi guys, I've found an HTC Wildfire S this morning at the train station. IT has locked SIM and locked Screen. Tried to look in the SD card but there'snothing useful.
Debug USB is not enabled so I can't navigate the system folders to find any clue. What do you suggest to help me find the owner out?
Why didn't you just hand it over to the police?

That's the last option. I trust more myself
No, the reason is that is much easyer for the owner if I can directly call him. And also often the loss of a low budget device is not reported to the police, so the owner will never find it.
Just some months ago I forgot my phone on a train and a guy called with it my mum and I was ablo to retrieve it in a couple of days!
try installing the sim card to other phone and see if it works than just wait for the owner to call on that number...
Or
you can make a nandroid backup and extract that backup using your pc find the social apps like facebook or tweeter and you will find the account info for the owner and you can send the message to that account that you have found the phone or whatever you want to send...

Take it to the carrier store. They will contact them and i think they might even give reward or something. I believe carriers used to.

You should be able to see what the network is from the SIM - I'd contact them really. Whoever lost the phone is going ot have to contact them so would be able to get the phone back that way. You could also leave a note with your contact details at the lost property at the train station.
Then contact the service provider of the phone. They will have a record of the device serial number and IMEI, and will know the owner of the phone.
Edit: too slow

Power off the device, remove and replace the battery, boot into hboot by pressing volume- and power, --wait-- use volume keys to select recovery. You should now be able to use adb stuff even though usb debugging is disabled. I'm not sure, but it's worth a try. I still think the best option is to return the phone to the carrier.
I think if i lost my phone id be a little upset at someone going so far as a nandroid of my stuff even if trying to return to me. Id just take it to carrier. It's a guarantee it gets to the person. They usually have an email or alternate contact for the person.
There will be a serial no on the Sim Card, so that the carrier people will easily identify the owner. (Same thing for the phone also)
**Much simple**.
Hey Guys..
I recently purchased an SHV-E250K phone from Korean.
Everytime i boot it up, it shows that Olleh Logo, instead of the samsung logo
Looking around i found out that it is "still locked by a contract for one of the korean mobile providers"
I dont know if thats try or not, but some apps that i have on my phone, still display korean language, even though i was able to change the default language and keyboard to English US
I currently live in the Netherlands, so when i try and access my voicemail from the Dialpad, the icon of the tape or wheel (or whatever u call it) next to the number 1, is not there. So when i keep pressing the number 1 button, it asks me to create a speed dial shortcut thing. I know it should ask me to enter my VM number, but it doesnt in my case
In relation to that, when i receive a call, and i reject the call, it automatically hangs up on the caller, not forward the caller to my VM
i have been struggeling with this for almost a month now (since i got the phone), i even emailed samsung support in Korea, they cant help.
I was able to root the phone successfully, no issues there, and i was able to install triangle away, and all that good stuff, but for the life of me, i cant find anywhere to fix the issue that i have.
i am really desperate to get this fixed, so any help on how to get rid of this whole crappy OLLEH thing on my phone, i would greatly apprecaite it.
thanks
Thanks

Thanks for the info. But what I found out is that the phone was already unlocked, just it had that olleh stupid rom that displayed their logo at boot up. I managed to get rid of it by installing another rom. But the issue still is that I cant reject calls and get them to vm. Instead it hangs up on the caller. Still reaserching a solution for that.
Does urs do the same?

Have you solved this yet?
When you root your device you can change it to anything you want. it's call Bootloader Animation.
There are some apps on the Play Store that will do this, and some guides online for how to make your own.
I changed mine to the game Portal boot animation instead of the olleh logo.
I, on the other hand, am in the situation you thought you were in. I have a Note 2 SHV-E250K that is SIM locked, and I need it unlocked before I leave for the USA (in 2 months from now).
any ideas on how to do this?

I tried your link, but it seems to be non-existent now. I also searched on the unlocksamsungonline site, as well as others, and I cannot seem to find the Note ii Korean olleh model on any of them. And sorry to contradict you, but I found rooting it to be very easy with CF Auto Root.
Might you or anyone else have some suggestions or advice for how I can Unlock the SIM and whatever else I need to do to prepare my Note2 for use in the USA?
Thank you in advance!

hey man..
no I have not solved it yet.. still with the VM issue, everything else is working/fixed
when I bought by phone from Korea, it was already unlocked, so unlocking this baby would be out of my knowledge.. sorry man
I heard though.. the K model, like urs and mine, are the most difficult to unlock in comparison to the S and the L
on a side note.. do they sell over there the digitizer and screen for the K model?
thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by digitizer, nor which location? from fixing a friend's iPhone, i remember that term being used for screens, which was her (my friend's) issue. I did a google search, and the wacom S-Pen came up it digitizer as well. If you are talking about Korea as the location, and the digitizer is, or it for S-Pen? then yes. a replacement for a cracked screen? I'm 99% sure they do. Screen protector? of course. if it was made for the samusng phone, it can easily be found in Korea at both the samsung service centers and the private fixing shops.
As for your boot animation logo;
Is your phone rooted?
- if yes, then download a Boot Animation app from google Play store, and choose one you like. most of the apps will work automatically. the samsung file system is slightly different than other android phones, so consistency is not guaranteed.
- if still yes, a second alternative is to make and inject a boot animation yourself. this guide should help get you started http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971828
-if no, then get it rooted so you can do these things. CF Auto Root worked best for me. find your device model here http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ download the .tar and flash with Odin.
assuming you are in the USA, do you think an AT&T store or Sprint or (etc...) can unlock it for me when I arrive?

location I am referring to, you are in seoul
Digitizer, is what every phone has.. you have the screen, and right below it is the digitizer. For our phones, if you will replace the screen, you would have to replace the digitizer also (which normally are glued together)
my screen is cracked, and I need the screen with the digitizer. The Samsung repair place her say they don't have the digitzer/screen for my phone because the K model has the tv antenna, and it is only for the Korean model. The European model (I live in the Netherlands) does not have that antenna
as for the bootanimation.. that was fixed long time ago.. it was part of the ROM.. Stupid Olleh company added it as part of the ROM
So that got fixed, I now have the stock Samsung bootanimation, and the ROM is all English, nothing is Korean. Except that my phone is Korean
The issue I am having still is the voicemail forward when I reject the call.
I tried everything.. but that's cool.. I am getting close of finding a resolution to fix this issue.. That's why I waited that long and search all over this forum until I found a lot of answers to my questions, including for the issue that I am having
in regards to the digitizer/screen
they told me here that the only way is to get that kit from korea.. is there a way for you (since you are in Seoul) to find out for me please which place has those and if they would ship internationally ?
Thanks

Ah ok, I fully understand now.
Sorry I'm unsure of how to get the voicemail to work... I'm usually good at those kinds of things, but I haven't needed voicemail here, so i have yet to experience that...
Yes there are many locations that sell the screen and digitizer, shipping internationally is the hard part...
I think one of your best options would be to checkout a website called GMarket (korean version of amazon, has an english translation) im pretty sure they ship internationally, some of it is still in korean... you might need the help of a korean.
Another one is auction.co.kr but this one is all on korean last time i saw it.
Next time i head to an electronics market here, i'll ask for you and post back here if they can ship it to you.
thank you.. I will try those site, and I appreciate it if you can please, about checking an electronic store, or even a Samsung repair center.. just to make sure to get an original part for the phone, if you know what I mean
thanks

Hi, I hope this helps... I think you can flash at&t roms to shv e250s/l/k provided that you also flash JS kernel.
I can't post the link, but you can go ahead and google it.

not just the sj kernel, but you CANT flash the modem, otherwise you will brick the phone.. so you would need to choose NO for modem

Which variant should I get? I just walked out of the store (Almost bought one) and they are telling me that it's a dual SIM. I honestly like the idea but I have several requirements which my next several questions are about.
Is ROOT, Busybox and a custom recovery available for this device?
In relation to question 2, is Xposed available for this device?
Is a reliable call recorder available? I badly need this since I speak to a lot of clients and recording my conversations with them helps me when I forget something that I discuss with them.
Is there an available kernel that will allow me to tweak the volume of the headset (much like Boeffla for those who have experience in this)?
Looking forward to your answers mates! Thanks!
Edit1 - How do I edit the title? Spelling mistake
1. the one which offers warranty in your country. is warranty available for both variants where you are ?
where i am there is only the dual sim and its a variant on dual sims available elsewhere. dual sim means no wireless charging possible at all. dual sim means only one sim can be used at a time because G4 dual sim is a dual standby not dual active ie it only has one radio and not two. So the other sim goes into standby if you use it all that is.
There is another point, whether you have 4g service in your country or not and whether it can support voice and data at the same time on one sim. Where i am 4g cannot (no VoLTE from the carrier) only 3g can. so if on 3g data, and get a call then i get the call and data stops but if i'm on 4g data then the caller gets a busy signal if using data at the time they called. Conversely if i get the call then i cannot browse the net while on the call (!)
This is where dual sim comes in. they can call the voice number (set up to forward to the other sim) and the data stops otherwise can continue to enjoy data at 4g speed.
In effect this means if you want to use 4g you need a second sim due to lack of VoLTE. otherwise put up with the slower speed of 3G and use just one sim.
2. root can be injected, there is no recovery available as bootloader unlock is not yet available for any variant besides the euro h815.
3. yes but its not completely stable. some modules work others don't. i'd give this some more time.
4. there is one in the stock but otherwise try ACR, it works quite well for me with another device.
5. not yet. this will only happen when botloader unlock becomes more widespread.

There is another point, whether you have 4g service in your country or not and whether it can support voice and data at the same time on one sim. Where i am 4g cannot (no VoLTE from the carrier) only 3g can. so if on 3g data, and get a call then i get the call and data stops but if i'm on 4g data then the caller gets a busy signal if using data at the time they called. Conversely if i get the call then i cannot browse the net while on the call (!)
This is where dual sim comes in. they can call the voice number (set up to forward to the other sim) and the data stops otherwise can continue to enjoy data at 4g speed.
In effect this means if you want to use 4g you need a second sim due to lack of VoLTE. otherwise put up with the slower speed of 3G and use just one sim.
2. root can be injected, there is no recovery available as bootloader unlock is not yet available for any variant besides the euro h815.
3. yes but its not completely stable. some modules work others don't. i'd give this some more time.
4. there is one in the stock but otherwise try ACR, it works quite well for me with another device.
5. not yet. this will only happen when botloader unlock becomes more widespread.

1. I'm unsure. I'd have to go back to the store and ask. I beleive(from experience) you cannot use voice and data at the same time on my carrier(s).
2. Read about that a bit, and from my understanding, the dual SIM is the H818, which I haven't found a root for. (This is honestly most likely a dealbreaker for me) But should I be expecting a reliable root and bootloader unlock soon?
3. I think this is applicable for all Xposed for 5.x and above no?
4. That's pretty neat that LG has one in built. I may not need root if this is the case. I'd have to check which applications use root and see if they are absolutely necessary.
5. Sounds good.
Quick question that I forgot to ask about though, I use AirDroid to manage, send and delete SMS from my device as it's a lot easier to do this on a computer screen. When I updated to KK/LP on my device, a whole plethora of problems arose such as not being able to delete/send SMS if an application was not the default SMS app.
In addition, I use Avast Anti Theft which heavily relies on SMS Commands. Is it still the case today?
Sincerely appreciate the well informed response mate

H818 has root for both dual sim variants. Check the dual sim thread in general. roosta has been doing a good job with it.

experience seems mixed, early days but its a good start.

ACR does not need root, which device do you use now, try it with that.

Well, I went ahead and done it. I just got my device
Checking it out now. In fact, I already posted a question there about the root.
Well, I suppose I'll be finding out the rest soon enough.
Can't located the inbuilt call recorder though. Any directions as to where I can find it?

Oh, it's a voice recorder that you need to turn on manually? Will check out ACR and see if it works okay on the device. So much stuff to look at and migrate. Just spent the last 2-3 hours on migrating my data.
Thanks for all your help matey. You seriously helped convince me to buy this device.
Hi,
Just something that worries me a lot atm and wanted to ask/alert people about. Probably 'a thing' that everybody knows about (?) in which case .. .well.. carry on, nothing to see here
I ordered a replacement motherboard for my LG G4 (H815) on ebay and the board I got does not seem to have come with the Stock ROM on it although it does appear at first to be stock.
When going through the pre-installed Apps I noticed that there was something odd though : it comes pre-installed with SuperSU (which starts automatically at boot). Even worse : I can't remove that SuperSU either, only Disable it.
When I tried to Unlock the bootloader at LG's website and replace the ROM (something I had done before so I know the procedure) I was told that the IMEI and DeviceID do not match. Replacing the ROM seems to not be an option even though it probably was rooted before to install the current ROM. I haven't tried to flash it with LG Flash yet ... so maybe that'll be the way out.
The more I started thinking about it the more nefarious this seems to me : a replacement motherboard with a locked bootloader that can't be unlocked (the ROM on it is Android 5.1 btw, not 6) which starts a SuperSU service at boot that most people probably wouldn't even notice and which has access to :
- Google Play billing service
- Retrieve running apps
- Run at Startup
- Prevent Phone from sleeping
That service could turn that phone into a zombi and considering that more smartphones than this one are probably in the same state things could get ugly.
What's worse, although I did disable it, there really is no way of really knowing that the smartphone is indeed 'safe'. I'm surely not going to use it for Home Banking atm! But even email or adding a Google account , or using facebook, etc already are things you probably shouldnt do when somebody else may have root on your smartphone..
kind regards,
Benny

Wow that's unfortunate
Maybe try @steadfasterX's SALT utility and see what info it gives you. Also, I assume the IMEI is from the software and not the back of your phone (e.g. the one from your previous motherboard)

hi, Thanks, I'll have a look at Salt Utility. Got the IMEI from the OS, not the sticker. It's actually not just the mobo that I replaced. This G4 is 'lego-ed" togheter from parts sourced all over the place so do not have the original housing I have a second, unlocked G4. This one was supposed to be my backup. Maybe the unlock simply fails because somebody else already unlocked it before - not sure if they could relock it afterwards , maybe they used Salt and didn't unlock...
Thanks for the response.
Edit : Come think of it, maybe the Device ID is not only dependant on the Motherboard but calculated from information gathered from other parts in the system as well like the screen , cameras, sim card reader ... who knows :-/ Might not be able to unlock any LG when any of those unknown parts is replaced.

. As long as you talk about the device ID displayed in fastboot it is coming from your mainboard and can't be changed. if you talk about the Android device ID it's generated by the ROM and that one can be changed easily

Good to know.
The Device ID came from fastboot in this case.
(and thanks for Salt Utility

I'd be interested to know whether the IMEI and device model from SALT match the values displayed in the OS
