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
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...
I have a BT branded S710 and have purchased an unlock code for it, this is a new unused phone straight out of the box but when I put in an unsupported SIM I don't get the prompt to enter the unlock code just a message about being only able to make emergency calls. How do I persude it to let me enter the unlock code?
same issue..any solution??

I have been unbelievably stupid, I had put the SIM card in the phone the wrong way round! All is now sorted - sorry folks.
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/
unlocked it here
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 guys,
a friend of mine told me that your are the only persons they maybe can help me....i really hope so!
I bought a S8+ which is A1 Mobilkom Austria locked. As i want it with a another carrier "3 Hutchison Austria" i ordered a sim unlock Code from a third Party Company. After i got the Code i tried that like the instruction says:
#####################################
Instructions to release your SM-G955F Galaxy S8 Plus
1. - Turn on the handset on with a SIM card not accepted by the device (your new network operator)
2. - If the card has a PIN number, enter it and press OK.
3. - The device will prompt: “Network lock”, Now enter XXXXXXXX and press OK.
4. - Your phone will indicate: "The operation was successful", becoming permanently unlocked.
Minor code: If the code in step 3 does not work, type the code XXXXXXXX and press Unlock, the phone will indicate Unlock fail, now dial the code again from step 3.
######################################
I really don´t know if i did something wrong...after 3times it is locked now.
After that i am getting this message now "SIM Network PIN blocked. Enter SIM Network PUK" - But now the Problem Begins. I tried to put in the PUK Code um my 3 Hutchison Sim Card but that was
unsuccessfull. So it seems it doenst men the PUK of the sim, it means the PUK of the network lock.
Do i have to contact A1 for that Code? That would cost me 150€ and tehy will give me the sim unlock Code. But i do not Need the sim unlock Code, i need the PUK unlock Code....so maybe
i buy it but i alos do net get the PUK Code.
What can i do now?
Pleeeeeease help me!!
P.S. I am from Austria, vienna - Sorry for my not perfect english
Thanks in advance
martin
Whoah, take it easy...
You title says, "S8+ blocked after trying to unlock". But your description says that your SIM card is PUK blocked?
If the phone boots perfectly without any cards in, then the SIMcard is blocked. Then you need to order a new SIM card for the new carrier, cus you cannot unlock a SIMcard that has been PUK blocked...
It feels like you type the Carrier unlock code instead of the PIN for the SIMcard?

Thats the Problem. I have the PUK Code from my 3 Hutchison SIM Card but that one does not work. I took this sim Card and put it into a another phone which is unlocked and it worked fine. So it can´t be the simcard PUK. If it should be the simcard PUK, then the sim Card wouldnt work in a another phone , right?
I tried few minutes ago a anonther 3 Hutchison sim Card from a collegue (he has the sim pin and the Sim PUK with him) and it also doesnt work!
Thats really weird, it sounds like the SIM PUK ( i know the error message Sound like that) but it means the Network PUK.
I think there should be a another Code ewhich you Need, if yout put the carrier unlock wrong into the phone...
thanks in advance

1.) This means you again tried to unlock the phone 3 times with your friend's 3-SIM card and again ended with the PUK message?
2.) Or did the PUK message appear right from the start with the other 3-SIM in?
If 1. then looks like the bought unlock PIN is not working at all.
If 2. then
-->
Do you know anyone who could borrow you an A1 SIM card for a test, who has also a PUK available?
OK, finally my phone is working with the 3 Hutchison sim Card now
Solution:
I ordered a new unlock code which includes a UNFREEZE Code from a another company. I was telling them my problem and the told me it should be the unfreeze code which i was needed.
After typing the unfreeze code into my phone it asks me for the net unlock code...i typed the new net unlock code into my phone and i can use all cards now!
Thanks for your support guys :good:

I have the same problem, my phone is asking me for the
"Sim network PIN. Enter SIM network PUK."
Wich company did you use to get the code? help me!! haha
I used sim-unlock.at (Austrian Company) but you just need a company who also provides you the unfreeze code with the netlock code.
Some company just send you the netlock code, some are sending you a pack of codes...
Hope this will help you
I also have the same problem but I'm in Ghana, can my service provider help me provide me with the unfreeze code, I really need help, really cost me much to get this phone, Please help me, Phone keep asking me for a PUK even with a new SIM card in it

What is this file?
Will it brake the warranty?
Or need to be rooted?
