What networks or rom's are involved here? More detail please....
Richard
maybe it's SIMLOCK,try to unlock it :wink:
networks
ok the network what works fine are vodafone on contract and all other sim cards on all other networks keeps coming up with invalid or missing sim even if put a pay as you go vodafone sim card in. tried to unlock the phone using xdadev_all_unlock-v1.6_138 it says the phone is unlocked but still the same it has been upgraded to the lastest t-mobile NL_11300_131_11200 roms so please help
Suggestion
I suggest that you try locking it if it says it's unlock, before you re-unlock it and check it out that way!
take out ur battery, try pull all the sim pin one by one as they maybe not touching firmly.
Hi!
Anybody knows how to solve this problem? I'he got the same one.
Sim contacts are ok. It's software problem for sure.
Owner told me had tried to unlock it with LokwizMsl.bat in stead of xdadev_all_unlock-v1.6.

It is operator locked. May be some unlocking site can unlock it after taking money for that.
Are you sure??
if its no fake unlocking should solve this!
I have contact the member and he says that is all ready unlocked...
Help...
Is it flex maybe??
Boot it without a SIM card. If it does not boot, you have something awry with the hardware, if it boots your SIM is defective.
Its working without sim...

If you unlock the phone, it will still work with the original SIM card.
One possible reason that the other T-Mobile SIM didn't work is that it might not have been a newer 4G-capable SIM card, or the contacts became dirty ( they can easily be cleaned with a pencil eraser).

Ok so i tried the unlocking method 1 for my sensation and found my 8 digit unlocking code, however when i put in any other sim card rather than the one the phone is locked to is says no sim card in phone so i have no way of inputing the unlock code.
Any ideas?
Thanks in Advance
i think it states in the unlock thread that it wont work with ALL sensations
Thanks for the reply, yes for some people method 1 just shows a date, but mine gave me the 8 digit unlock code.
The problem is the phone is locked to Meteor but when i insert any other sim then a Meteor one it says no sim card in phone, it should ask to enter the 8 digit network unlock code which it doesn't because its not recognising the sim card for some reason.
mine too, not detect the sim card..
Did you solved the problem?

Did you put the code in with the meteor sim inserted?
you could always just flash another ROM and that should fix the issue, I know it's a bit drastic but if you really want to use another carrier...

Sorry for only replying now, still not resolved, how would i put the code in with the meteor sim in it?
Ive already tried changing the rom and tried the method 2 unlock but it still won't recognise any other sims apart from meteor ones.
Hi guys,
I was thinking of buying my sister a code for unlocking her RAZR HD but many sites said the easiest way to check if a code is supported is to insert a SIM from a different carrier. If the phone asks for a SIM unlock code, the code will work. The problem with my sister's phone is that I tried two different SIMs (Movistar and AT&T) and it didn't asked for a code, just showed me a prompt that said the SIM was locked with a subsidy code and didn't offer a way to input anything, just a button to close this prompt.
Can I buy a code and do something to input so I can unlock it? I have searched for this phone and some people unlock it with codes bought from different site. The thing bothers me if that her phone doesn't ask for a code when a SIM from a different carrier is inserted.
I don't want to wast any money for a code that won't work because this particular phone (Telcel) won't ask for it.
Any suggestions, advice or ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah I have the same problem with the Razr HD from Fido. I put in a foreign sim card in and it only says SIM is Perso Locked. Doesn't ask for any code or anything... cellunlocker suggested try to get the PUK code from the provider. I did and it didn't ask for anything either. Still looking for a way. If you find anything let me know too. Thanks.
EDIT: GOT IT WORKING !! Go To the Next page to see a solution. Or possible solution. In short You need to put a foreign LTE micro sim card. I repeat must be LTE micro sim

Search the forums.
You don't need an unlock code.
You need to flash a new radio to get USA GSM.

I don't know how to flash on RSD lite because for some reason it doesn't show my phone just says fastboot and that's about it. no other information of the phone shows up. And when i tried flashing stock motorola it kept failing saying something about filename being too long.
Have you guys tried from the dialer
#073887*
or
#786074*
with a foreign SIM installed?
I think this might be a Jelly Bean problem, as I didn't have this when I unlocked my Rogers phone back in December.

I'd been thinking about unlocking mine too, just hadn't got around to trying. If I find a way to do it that doesn't involve RSD lite I'll let you know.
I wonder... maybe it's because I am putting in a non LTE sim card... I'll try my sisters LTE Virgin Mobile Sim card when I get home.

Try putting your phone into airplane mode when your regular SIM is installed then power it off. Afterwards put a foreign SIM into the device and power it back on. When the device starts fully take it out of airplane mode. Let me know what happens.

SSUUUCCCCESSSSS !!!!
SO. Here is what I did ! ... I did a factory reset. ( I HIGHLY DOUBT YOU HAVE TO so try it with the following first and if it fails try it after a factory reset) the only difference this time is.. I PUt a foreign LTE micro sim card in and then it popped up !!! ... So guys who have this phone. please note. To get the Unlock code question you MUST put in an LTE Micro Sim card.
Thanks to everyone for the help and suggestions!!! Very much appreciated. Loving the XDA community. I will also inform Cellunlocker about this so that they may specify that an Foreign LTE sim card is needed to get the unlock code query. and foreign obviously meaning one that is not your carrier.
Good luck guys and happy unlocking.
Also i have verified if the unlocking works. And it has !! Thanks a bunch again guys!

That's great! I'm glad there is a way to unlock this phone.
I have a question, though. Did you put the foreign LTE Micro SIM card after factory resetting it? Or did you do the reset with your carrier's SIM on it and put other carrier's card after that?
I bought a Movistar Micro SIM which supposedly is LTE without any luck before when I created this thread, but I will try to get other LTE Micro SIM to try again. If that doesn't work, I will do a factory reset after you answer the question about the order you put the SIM cards on your phone.
Thanks. I will keep you guys posted.
What did you do to unlock
I left my original sim card in when I did the factory reset. Then removed it and replaced it with a Virgin Mobile LTE sim card. It may be that the sim card you got wasn't LTE. But I could be wrong. Never the less do try it. If it isn't that, I'll keep looking for solutions.
Edit: Oh, I also forgot to add one thing. With my original LTE Micro sim I did do a sim unlock as well. On my carriers (Fido) website, Fido.ca, in the account section I was able to receive the PUK code. This might have helped with unlocking, not too sure. Get the PUK code from your carrier first. Then go to your sim lock under Settings>Security&Screen lock> Setup Sim card lock. select the first option, which says Lock sim card. Then input the wrong code 5 times I believe then it will ask for a PUK code. Insert the PUK code there and it should unlock the sim card. Once Again I don't know if this exactly helped but It was one of the things I did in my attempts to unlocked the phone.

It seems weird that it had something to do with unlocking your carrier's SIM card. Nevertheles, I'm already trying to get an LTE SIM from a different carrier to try a factory reset and/or this PUK code sim unlock with my sister's carrier.
This solution is not for the same model but might work:
Get a RETAIL ROM (aka unbranded) that works for your phone ( e.g. Flash XT910 Brasil retail ROM over a XT910 Telcel ROM, both are latam so they work flawlessly), factory reset, wipe cache, then switch sim card.
I read it in another forum. Reason is unknown (or maybe it's a bussines reason) but trying to unlock carrier was possible using a retail version instead of telcel rom.
Yes its true

Hi,
I have a Samsung S8+ which I bought unlocked to any network, I have used it on EE and Vodafone. I had rooted the phone, flashed different roms etc no problem. After I got my new phone, I tried to get the sim out of the S8+ and the tray was stuck, left with no choice I forced it out but this broke the sim card reader as it wouldn't read any SD or Sim.
I flashed a stock 9.0 pie UK version (Unlocked) to the phone through Odin and got the sim card tray replaced, now it reads SD cards and my sim but it says network locked and is asking for the NUC code, the phone was unlocked before and now it isnt. I've contacted Vodafone for a NUC code but the code isn't working (says incorrect code), I've tried flashing stock 8.0 too, also not working and still asking for the NUC. Strangely, it isn't working on either EE or Vodafone Sims now.
Could the sim card tray being replaced effect this? Is it the software flashed through Odin?
Any help will be appriciated please.
Thanks
Sam
Is it possible not only the SIM tray but the whole motherboard was replaced? It would make perfect sense then. Check whether your IMEI and S/N match what was on the box the phone came in.

It is strange normally sim unlocks are not undone by odin flashing. Sim unlocks lie in a non flashed partition
