My old T830 wants PIN2 to connect to network.
When i enter simcard to another phone, it connects sucessfully.
I entered PIN2 that network carrier gave to me, but still not working.
Just found out that that PIN2 actually meant some kind of device unlock code.
When i entered old simcard i always used with that phone, it worked.
I guess that i accidentally activated some sort of protection against other simcards than this one.
Anyone know where i turned that on and how to turn it back off.

just bought a used siemens sx56, it asks for a pin # when i install the sim card, where can i find the pin # ?
thanks

The PIN # should be delivered with your sim card from your operator. If it asks for sid code, than the phone is locked and you have to unlock it using the xdaunlock tool....
Stefan
well.... the sim card has been in my other phone for almost a year and i threw out all the paperwork that the sim card came with. is there any other way to find out??? i have at&t maybe att website? or my monthly bill?
And you don´t have to eneter a PIn when you used the card in your old phone?
That´s very strange......
Normally the PIn isn´t written anywhere. Neither Bill, nor Web-site...
Maybe the customer service could help you.

try entering 1111 or 1234, reset phone between tries or you may get a locked sim.
yes 1234 worked, i finally found the manual and according to it- this is the default pin # and i hadnt changed it.. so everything is cool !
thanks guys
sim code and the phone being unlocked have nothing to do with eachother
here all sims need pin codes sure you can make it stop asking for the code
but it have nothing to do with the phone being locked
i never had a locked phone but have always been asked for sim on all my phones i use it as a 2th password if it's lost
Hi there ,
I just bought a motorola xoom 3g and have the following problem with it:
When i put my sim card in it, it asks for the pincode and when i enter it it shows a couple of highlighted bars, but when i press on that bars it shows "no internet connection"
I already configured the apn setting but i make to difference......
I can connect trough wifi and then i've internet...
Can someone please help me with this problemen which is very annoying
Thnx!!
Are you entering the right pin? Are you the second owner? Has 3G worked before? Have you tried entering the last 4 of the Xoom phone number as the pin? What carrier are you on?
You should put more details to get help quicker.

I use vodafone NL
i just got it one dag, fresh from the shop with a dataplan. Its brandnew. The shop said it's unlocked. The PIN code is stock (0000) and it saids code accepted so i dont think it's wrong.
When I went to my mom i turned wifi off and wanted to use the 3G network but it only shows "no internet connection" on the upper right corner
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
N00B here! but tried to gather as much info as I could..
Got a VZW droid 2 global from ebay that the seller profiled as "unlocked"
I'm in Central America and trying to register it with a GSM 850/1900 carrier but it won't connect to the network at all.
It had a 14 IMEI code... found it's translation to 15 to 17 IMEI and bought a the unlock code on a site. I got the unlock code but the phone has nowhere to enter it.
Found a post stating that it should ask for the code after inserting a foreign sim card or waiting 30 minutes if nothing happens. tried that and there's no prompt.
I have accessed the testing menu with *#*#4636#*#* and select the GSM only and WCDMA preferred (I got an HTC Inspire 4G working with that one here) and it is recognizing the GSM 850/1900 local carriers but unable to get any network access from them.
Found that VZW locks the carrier's network ids but the phone is recognizing them.
Again: ir recognizes the networks but is not asking for an unlock code... all the posts states to enter the code but they don't say how (the phone must prompt it automatically)
Please let me know if there is any way to manually pull up the field to enter the unlock code or if I can try anything else to unlock it
Thanks!
First, the phone's IMEI is written on the label under the battery.
Second, if you switch it to GSM mode it will output the IMEI in *#06# and in Settings, About phone, Status.
The 14 digit code you mentioned is probably MEID in hex form.
Switching to GSM is done by going to Settings, Wireless & networks, Mobile networks, Network Mode.
Using the service menu you mentioned is wrong and can lead to the phone being unable to connect to GSM at all, in which case you must reflash the SBF.
Actually I got the unlock code but there is nowhere to enter it.
Also it allowed to me to at least view the available networks after changing it to GSM/WCDMA and seems to be trying to connect to one but there's no signal at all.
If I do a network search now it will show me the available networks 5 or 6 (2G&3G), selected one and it just shows that it is not able to connect to that network
BTW, found that the radio was off as well and had to switch it on using the testing menu because by going to Settings, Wireless & networks, Mobile networks didn't allow me to access it at all, it was just grayed out and there was no way I could turn on the radio using that option..... sorry... I think I got everything I need except where to enter the unlock code
It looks like you have successfully (like other people before you) fried the GSM radio settings. Congratulations.
You need to flash the SBF to reset the phone's radio module to its original state.
If you actually bought a phone that was already unlocked it won't ask for an unlock code.
A locked phone asks for the code the moment you power it on and let it boot with a non-Verizon SIM card.
The code you supposedly bought is not for your phone at all, because you requested it for an IMEI you made yourself from something that was never an IMEI.
For me, The unlock screen appear only on original rom with non-verizon sim.
not appear on custom rom.
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
Hello
A few weeks ago, I did something stupid.
I went into the *#*#4636#*#* app, phone info and pressed some of the buttons.
I think the button was "cellinfostrate <number>", altough I am not sure, but it was a button there.
After pressing it I lost the mobile connection. I couldnt get it up anymore, the SIM card was not working anymore even in another phone (LG G3). I think it was an IMEI problem, but not sure. I got errors like "invalid network mode -1" in the cell network settings.
I got an exchange for the SIM and it is working again.
But the question: What happened there? Why did the SIM was not working anymore?
