Hello, friends. few days ago I bought a brand new XT1952-5 (AT&T)the phone is for my grandma, I bought it online. I bought the phone, according to the phone it was unlocked network and it really wasn't. I want to be able to unlock the sim and it doesn't give the option to write the pin code. I tried to flash with some firmwares but don't worked, it does not allow me to flash on the phone. I need help to unlock the phone sim.

Not gonna happen unless you can convince t-moble USA to give you the unlatching code for free.
The handset is 2 years old now! No - one is going to develop a 'free' unlocker for a 2 yr old, low selling, single market handset. Check ebay, you can get the codes for as little as $25 from sellers in the US based on your IMEI. Other people's codes will not work.

I just sold mine unlocked on ebay recently. The above user is correct. Since I had a contract with T-mobile, I called them and said I was giving the phone away to someone with Cingular service. The tech support rep took my imei number and emailed the instructions and code within 24 hours.
Who is your carrier now/Who did you get the phone from. Ask them if they still have a T-mobile contract to get the code for you. T-mobile gave me mine although I bought mine from someone else.
IIRC you also need an old t-mobile US sim to turn the radio stage on to enable you to enter the code otherwise it won't accept it?

You can unlock it without T-mobile sim card but you need a sim card from any provider ( must be active ) . better is use the sim you wanna use with this fone after unlocked
If you wanna have unlock code, why don't search and Buy it on ebay? i see that only about 30$ each unlock code and you'll get code within 24 hours

ebay have feedback system so you can sure code will works or you can give seller negative feedbacks and request refund
If you already have unlock code ans sim card but when you input code, it always said that " unlock code not accepted, you have tried...." You must update your ROM version . It's worked well . I'm already tested with 8 customer who have problem like this
I see your problem serveral times. This is cause of your phone's rom missing ( about 5% hp 6315 got this problem)
This problem can easy solve with this ROM update ( ROM v1.00.38 )
This rom update will remove all T-mobile logos and sofware and your 6315 will become OEM 6315
dowload here : http://rebootitsmagic.com/ipaq/SP29760_6315.zip
1. Unzip/Extract it using your unzip program (i.e. WinRAR, WinZip, 7zip, etc...)
2. Place the h6315 in cradle. connect it to USB and charger
3. Double click on the hpRUU.exe to run the program
4. View the Readme and if you wish to proceed Agree to the Terms and Conditions
5. Click Next
6. Click Next again to flash the device with the new ROM
7. Sit back relax and grab yourself something to drink while it handles its business
If you got laptop, should ,best is do it in laptop ( prevent electric out )
After rom update finish, just input the code like before

I use a non-active old t-mobile US sim to enable the radio. Any non t-mobile sim comes up as 'unkown sim status' like in the first post ,and will not allow you to activate radio to input the code.

will this work for h6325? I have the same problem. I lost charge and the PDA hard resets. Any hope?
I unlocked the phone via a network unlock code. But the next time I booted it I was asked again for it and went WTF - wasn't this supposed to be permanent? It was on my old Desire HD and Optimus 2X and persisted across ROMs, but the Galaxy Nexus asked me after a simple reboot, not a ROM flash or bootloader unlock.
Anybody else having this issue? I'm going tomorrow back to the GSM service where I bought the code from to ask for it again :|
Did you get anywhere with this?
I got my unlock code for my o2 UK GNex from o2, and it does unlock the phone.
When wiping or sometimes while just rebooting, it'll ask for it again!
Just annoying more than anything, but surely once it's been entered once it should never ask again...?

Hi Mircea,
Had the same problem with my vodafone GN purchased in Romania.
I bought an unlock code from the shop in Bucharest and they unlocked it with a Cosmote SIM. It cost f...g 50 EU...
When I got to Israel and put in a local SIM I got the request to input the code again.
Spoke to the local mobile carrier and they had no clue.
I got very very very lousy support from the Vodafone people. They told me stories about how the unlock code might be only national and not internationa (BS....).
Anyway - to cut a long story short I flashed the 4.0.2 Google ROM (I had the Samsung build originally). After doing that I put in the SIM again. Used the unlock code I had from Romania and lo and behold....it worked.
SO it might have to do with the using the Samsung ROM.
If you still can't solve it - try flashing ROM from google if you're on the Samsung ROM.
I forgot about this thread; I have obtained the unlock code again, saved it in notes, on the computer and on paper. It asks for it again on every ROM flash, possibly kernel but can't recall, so it isn't stored in the radio for some reason. Annoying.
BTW, Mine costed 25 EUR. Kind of wanted to kill myself when I found out it was being sold for 10 on eBay.
WRITE DOWN YOUR NETWORK UNLOCK CODE, YOU WILL NEED IT LATER

So on the custom ROM, the code you used in Romania didn't work in Israel?

An NUC (Network Unlock Code) unlocks a handset for all networks worldwide.
There is no local code or international code.
It seems that for whatever reason, when you are unlocking the radio it isn't saving it in the radio SPL.
Given that it worked when you flashed a stock Google ROM I will assume that Samsung have broken it in their ROM.
Hi Guys
I just bought a "new" Nexus from a phone unlocking shop. It is new but was started and may have been unlocked (i think). It is from an Irish mobile operator but the OS version is EU so im guessing it was originally sim free. Im not familiar with the Nexus as I own a HTC Sensation which ive rooted and flashed many custom roms on. The problem is when i start the phone with or without a sim im not asked for a sim password nor do i get any message saying there is no sim inserted. I can search for network but cant connect. Says "service not available at this time". I assume that the sim is not seen. I dont want to root and flash a custom as it is a present for a friend.
I dont have time to return to the shop when i bought it as its a present i need to give tomorrow.
Anyone got any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks in advance
Hi folks, my dad gave me his old S3 last month when he upgraded to an S5, and I am trying to use it as a backup/spare but I am on T-Mobile. the S3 is already running 4.4.2 so I understand I need to obtain an unlock code from some site, ATT already told me no since my dad technically didnt fulfill his contract (bought the S5 through craigslist).
I have seen that I can buy an unlock code and enter it manually, but I have also seen several ebay listings saying they would remotely connect to my phone and unlock it via software, meaning I had to connect the S3 to computer with USB and then to internet. I dont think I should do this.
I also want to flash to CM11, but I am not sure if the unlock will be lost during the flashing process? should I flash first and then unlock?
I recommend buying an unlock code from eBay.
Do not flash a custom rom until after you enter the unlock code as you need a stock Samsung dialler to enter the code.
Once it is sim unlocked, the phone will be permanently unlocked.
Same Request
I'm in roughly the same sitch..
I thought it was easier to switch carriers than requiring the purchasing of an un-lock code?
Since I really don't want to fork out any more moneys...
No one has more suggestions?
Thanks!

If the phone is running 4.3 or higher stock bootloader, you will have to get a code, no way around it. If there is a free method without requiring carrier intervention, it hasn't been found.
Just get an at&t sim card from like straight talk. My phone isn't rooted (got it the exact same way only from mom!)
Look at the sim. The underlined portion of the number will start wit 103 or 104. If you get an error that says "sim not provisioned" etc, that one works. Put service on it and see.

That's how you get around a carrier lock. Because its still using at&t network.
So I bought a used z2 force form a dealer but the phone is carrier locked by sprnt. Is there anyway I can unlock this phone. I live in pakistan so I cant make online payments using paypal and other stuff. Please I need all the help I can get. I am stuck with this phone and I really dont know what to do anymore. I tried installing custom roms but that also didnt work.
One thing I would like to mention. Whenever I flash the phone with a stock oreo rom the sim works but after I restart the phone It says invalid sim. It doesnt even asks me for an unlock code. I used the sim on my phone for a month in this way but my phone accidentally restarted.
Please If anyone can provide me with any method of unlocking I will be truly grateful. And my phone's bootloader is unlocked and TWRP is installed if that helps.
