[Q] unlocking with code?

Hope somebody can help. I got rid of at&t service and they gave me an unlock code if I wanted to get service from t-mobile. I am going to use the phone just for mp3, gps, etc..., but I won't use any phone or data features. I'm not sure if I should unlock it and I don't know how. I'm also wondering if anyone has developed a rom that eliminates all of the phone features? Any help would be much appreciated.

Looks like my post is one that got messed up while the server went down. Somebody had already responded and said they doubted there was a rom that would have the phone and data options stripped out of it. So the only question I have now is how do I unlock my phone with the code at&t gave me? I've searched the wiki and it just points to sites that are trying to sell unlock codes. I have the code I just don't know how to use it.

To apply the unlock code, you first need to insert another carrier Sim card into your device. ex: T-Mobile
1) Shut off you device
2) Remove your battery cover
3) Remove your battery
4) Slide in a non at&t Sim card
5) Pop in your battery
6) Re-apply the battery cover
7) Power on your device
8) Once your device boots up, you'll be prompted with a "Your device is Sim Locked" type of message
9) From there, you should have an option to Unlock your device with your code
10) Taa-daa!
** You can use a friends Sim card to unlock, as long as it's not at&t. Once unlocked, just give them back their Sim card.

Thanks for the info. It's very much appreciated.

Unlock your TP2 for Free (So far Sim unlock)

I bought a used TP2 off of ebay the other day just to tinker with it. I've been playing with it for a week or so trying to unlock it, I know there is an unlocker made by Olipro/Cmonex available but I guess you have to pay for that. Although I have the Sprint TP2 and that one is Sim unlocked, but I was able to find a way to SIM lock/unlock it, I'm still trying to figure out how to turn Security off though, I mean setting Secu_Flag to 0. I I did a lot of searching but couldn't find any instructions about unlocking the TP2 for free. So here is what I found so far:
Step 1- HardSPL your TP2 (This is available for free)
Step 2- Load the following RUU rom to your TP2. It looks like this Rom when loaded to the RAM it enables some Atcmd commands that allows us to play with NV part of the ROM thus allowing us to Lock/Unlock: RUU_Signed.nbh (I couldn't post the link I need to post 8 times before I can) "mediafire.com/?n11beq12kk24hy5"
Step 3- Run the following Atcmd: (This sets the Simlock flags to 0 thus removing the Simlock:
[email protected]=0,1,code "where "code" is your MSL ( I set my MSL code to 000000 and found out that 22051978 worked too, I found this on the internet somewhere)
[email protected]=0,2,code
[email protected]=0,4,code
[email protected]=0,8,code
This only unlocks the SIM, I was able to toggle those on and Off on My Sprint TP2 without any problem. Now if only I can find the command that disables the Secu_Flag. I don't have a lot of experience with this maybe some of you guys have experience and could point me in the right direction to continue my small project I would appreciate it.

Verizon is not US radio locked, so a Sim unlock should be all you need.

Hi there
Attached you will find a zip file containing two files RunATCommands.exe and result.txt. Create a new folder and unzip them to that folder.
You will also need to download pget.exe,prun.exe and pput.exe which you can find here: ( links have been blocked) in the same folder in addition to AtCmd.exe (Search for this using google)
Unzip the RunAtCommand.zip to the same folder where you saved the above p...exe files and Atcmd.exe. Make sure your phone is connected to activesync or windows mobile device center then run RunAtCommand.exe. You will have a form with a text box where you enter the AT commands you want to send to the phone. Click run command button, at the bottom you will get the result. If you are issuing a command that writes to the phone instead of just reading, and the result is 0, it's actually something like "0\r", you will have a success message too.
You might need .net framework installed on your PC too. and maybe you need to install EnableRapi.cab on your phone if you don't have it.
Let me know how it goes.

Are you saying that you tried the above on a Verizon TP2 and it didn't work? Or are you saying that it does say the phone is Sim unlocked? What happened when you issued the at commands mentioned in the original post? Did you download pget,pput and prun and put atcmd.exe in the same folder as RunATcommands.exe?

If you don't have atcmd.exe then you don't have the basic requirements for this to work, so why are you saying it doesn't work? I'm baffled. How did you issue the commands if you don't have atcmd.exe? And how did you get back @Simlock=00 if you don't have atcmd? If you indeed got @Simlock=00 after issuing the command [email protected]?40 then your phone is sim unlocked. Try to insert a GSM sim card in it and try it. Tell me what do you get when you issue the command [email protected]?AA please.

I wish I knew, I would have bought it from you for further testing. If anyone wants to sell their TP2 to me for a discount so I can do more testing on different versions of the TP2 please let me know.

Hey ccengineer, did you ever get yourself another tp2? Just noticed something interesting.
I put in a tmobile sim card into a Sprint deactivated tp2 and I got a voicemail notification even though the phone wouldn't register on the tmobile network. You surmised on the ppcgeeks thread that perhaps the US antennas or frequencies were not being assigned. However given that I am getting a voicemail notification every time I turn on the phone, I think the phone is able to talk to the towers. Perhaps there is a network ID blacklist in the NV Ram for Sprint phones.

The link on the first post is not working, can you upload the NBH file again please?

i want to try bur the file is miss...

please someone upload the patched nbh )

Was anyone able to get this working?

Anyone get it to work? Does this basically make the TP2 into a world phone? Any help is appreciated.

[Q] Unlocking sim card Hell

Hi there!
I just bought a SE Xperia x8. It was Locked to 3 uk.
I used a unlock online service to unlock it. Did everything right as it was in the unlocking manual. But in the end of the process the software Multi unlocking client frozed. The know the mobile doessn't recognize any sim card.
In the hiden menu the X on the network lock is not there anymore as it was unlocked.
And when I try to connect to a network the message I get is "Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
I rooted it changed roms and the problem persists
Can anyone help me?
The Online unlocking service wants me to by more credits and try again....

Have the same problem... any fix for this?

I just opened my own thread for exactly the same thing last night - did either of you have any luck getting this fixed?

Oh God, I remember MultiUnlocker from my Palm Pre days. What a horrid piece of software it is.
I'd recommend contacting their support division and outlining your problem. I was able to gain the necessary three credits to unlock my phone (stupid bloody thing took that many goes).
It may prove problematic that your phone is kinda 'in limbo' ie. showing unlocked but not. You should be able to input a code from the emergency dialler giving you access to the engineering menu, which will allow you to re-lock your phone, then the code should work.
I'll subscribe to the thread in case you need further advice!

Unlocking Z3 T-Mobile USA

I have the Z3 from Tmo usa. I also have the unlock code i paid for. when I insert foreign sim, it does not prompt for unlock code, instead directing me to use the unlocking app on the phone provided by tmobile. How can I get this thing to ask for the code.

So far i have figured out it is missing the Simlockunlockapp.apk from priv-apps
this is the app that asks for the code.

Have u found any way to unlock the xperia z3 with the unlock code?

Boom. Finally worked this morning for me.

I'm getting it force crashing on me. Is there another app it requires? I might have accidentally blocked/disabled?

Was your phone active for more than 45 days on T-Mobile?
How did you unlock it, please provide more info.
What info was it asking for, to get the device unlocked?
Was your device with BAD or Clear IMEI?
Thanks in advance!

1. Yes
2. Used the unlock app. Interestingly, after the permanent unlock, the app deletes itself (at least the icon)
3. None, it verifies your eligibility with T-Mobile servers
4. Clear IMEI, valid account, paid full price for the phone

Is there anyone who tried flashing a rom via Recovery to get the unlock code menu to pop up and insert the code?

i am stuck with the network lock. unable to unlock. anyone pls shed some light on this.. its dark for very long time..

Network locked requiring master unlock code

.

.

I had to call Samsung
oopsies said:
Ok, I figured it out. This is how I did it in case someone else encounters the same problem in the future:
1) wipe cache
2) factory reset phone
3) after setup, immediately put in the non-Bell network SIM card. Then enter the network unlock code. Reminder, if you are in Canada, CRTC requires all carriers to give you the unlock code for free even if you're not a customer.
Now you can go and root your phone, etc. I hope this helps someone!

I tried your way but it did not work for me. the issue got solved after I called Samsung because of two different code need to be entered simultaneously more than once.
