Hi Guys and Gals, I am moving back from M5000 to M600 but I am having a bit of difficulty unlocking the Sim. I have followed the Wiki directions and have my unlock code. The problem is that when I insert my new sim I am not asked for a network password but simply informed that I have an invalid or missing sim card, therefore I cannot unlock.
Any bright suggestions out there?
yep
i had the same problem
try to put a small piece of paper between your simcard and your battery,
for me it's working
Try a different SIM if you have one.
Hi guys, i have a similar problem, i run lokiwiz 03a and get the unlock code, then try a different sim, on boot up it first asks for network unlock code, i enter it, then it asks for service provider code, i then enter the same code, it then proceeds to the today screen, searches for network, then the phone goes into flight mode (well the phone function shows off) then the sim lock pops up again and asks again for the two unlock codes??? i have tried with various sim networks, hard reset and manually copied the .cabs to ROOT of phone, with no luck. help..... each time i try Lokiwiz it gives same code...

got the 8 digit code, how do i enter it into the phone, as at the mo, my phone is not locked... i want to unlock it before i play round with it.....
help
get another sim card not from your locked service provider....any other service provider will do. Turn it on, and if it asks for it, enter it, if not, then your cell phone is unlocked.....
re above
cheers, i didnt know if you had to put some godforsaken code in like with the nokia's
again cheers
I've used the method described in the Sim Unlock thread to generate my code, but I can't get the unlock code request (dialogue box) to come up on the phone. I've turned it off and inserted a different SIM (it was originally O2, now it's GiffGaff, although I believe they use the O2 network) but I don't get the prompt to enter my unlock code. I can scan for networks and register on the O2 network, but I get No Service errors.
Tried a variety of ROMS. I got asked for the code on a Cyanogen one but it always refused it and asked for it at every boot. I've also SuperCID'd to 11111111.
Any clues?
Just reset phone to 1.78 stock and on first boot spotted a message "Restricted Access Changed". Does this mean anything?
So it would appear that putting a GiffGaff sim into an O2 locked phone won't trigger the unlock request. But putting a T-Mobile one in does. It's accepted the code, but I'm still getting 0 bars of reception.
Does anyone has any ideas?
Hi there
I have the network unlock pin for my Sensation but when I put in a different sim from another network the phone just says no sim card inserted and asks for a PIN number.
The phone is locked on 3. I tried with O2, Giffgaff and Vodafone simcards and I get the same thing. The simcards work fine with my older phone and neither of them is locked with a pin number. I tried the default PIN for the respective network and I got a message saying Incorrect Pin. When I enter the unlock code (even though not prompted for that) I get the same message.
Has anyone else had that? Any advice?
Thanks in advance
I have looked into what this could mean, and finding that I have a pin on my sim but I dont
I can put my sim in my origonal device and works fine
this phone has been flashed with 2 roms both no signal only the 2nd rom was giving me this message at top of screen
one thing though, I am having to enter the sim unlock(phone lock from Three) code every time I reboot the phone, I obtained this code using the famous term emulater and running that specific string, this code enters fine and says
SSIM network unlock PIN, enters code, then gets - SIM Network unlock successful
any ideas
Forgot to add, if I go to settings, security, setup SIM/RUIM card lock
I click lock sim card and specify a code
Then tells me it cant because there already is one
I can choose Change SIM PIN, by entering the old one (12345? guess) then a new one
I have 1 attempt remaing before I have to contact my phone carrier
Phone is from 3 Mobile but my Sim is from O2, if I put this sim into my origonal device there is no PIN
Any ideas?

I would follow the other method on that guide and SIM unlock that way. It will be 100% successful and then you will know if your SIM card has a pin lock or if your device is having trouble. Remember that you need to be on gingerbread firmware to use the diag.nbh so search the forums and read up before you act

Hello. Half a year i bought D6603 that was connected to some uk provider, the man i bought from had unlock code. So on first run we inserted sim that is not acceptable, so it asked for unlock code, after code was inserted, sim lock was unlocked.
Now, i had a problem with my phone, so i brought ir to repair center, after all fixes they reinstalled OS , and after that, now i cant use my sim card. i wanted to insert that code again that i have, but it not allows it. when i go to that "secret" menu of sony, in sim card section i see all parameters are 0, so that means that enabling all simcards by code are disabled.
Please help, how i can unlock my phone, that i could use my own sim card? I have that unlock code, but i can't insert it and unlock.
Thanks.
P.S. now i have tried to hard reset it as it shown in this video:

after this "hardreset", in secret menu , sim lock tab shows not zeros anymore, but unknown error.
