What sim did you put into your galaxy s3?
i also have the SCH-R530 from cricket, i was trying to use a GSM Sim with the phone but i get no mobile network message, the phone reads the sim because i can see my contacts and my provider even the APN info, i tried following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809314 but i wasnt able to make it work with any of the settings listed under Phone Info App. im using a Mexico Telcel SIM card by the way.

OK I think it's hilarious that his friend bought "anus cellphone".
In all serious ness, I have a Cricket GS3 rooted with CM installed. Is there done setting I can modify to make it work when a T- Mobile SIM is entered?

I've had no luck with this i tried to put on the Verizon ROM but no luck it wouldn't even let me start the process
I wanted to put on the ATT rom but the owner of the phone took it back and was trying to return it to the US to have it exchanged (i'm from the Caribbean)
Hi everyone. I received the unlock code from AT&T and after I insert my non AT&T sim card and boot the phone up, I don't get the network unlock prompt. I get "sim not provisioned mm #2" how do I get the unlock prompt to come back up? I was rooted and running CM 7, but flashed it back to a the non rooted HTC stock rom from HTC's website. Any help/ideas are appreciated!
Are you SIM unlocked or bootloader unlocked? How did you root?

I'm sorry, I don't understand the difference between SIM unlocked & bootloader unlocked, I just want it unlocked so it can be used on different carriers. AT&T has already given me the code to use.
When I rooted, I used aahk, but when I put the stock HTC rom back, I lost root access.
Are you still S-Off? Which carrier's SIM are you trying to use? Some carriers lock their SIM cards, so only SIM unlocking the phone doesn't work.

Yes, s-off and I tried a verizon and a tracphone SIM
also tried a red pocket SIM and t-mobile SIM. I get the "sim not provisioned MM #2" message. No prompt

Since you used the aahk and are still soff than you already have Sim unlock. Not all carriers and Sims play nice with unlocked phones. Sometimes a different Sim will do the trick.
Example when I had unlocked my iPhone way back in the day (original) it would not work using my sisters tmo Sim but it would on my brothers tmo sim

Sim not provisioned mm#2 usually means the Sim card hasn't been activated, if the phone was Sim locked you would be prompted for the unlock code. Sounds like you're ready to go

Purchased a used D850 that was supposedly unlocked. Is there any way to verify other than trying other SIMS (which I don't have)? Picked up a code from an eBay seller and when I enter 2945#*850# each of the 5 menu items returns "Your phone is not yet personalized" with "Dismiss" as the only option.

You need to put a non AT&T sim in it to find out.

I put in a PagePlus (Verizon) SIM and phone booted normally (AICP Lollipop) and there is no service; there wasn't any message about SIM.

Well there is your problem, You can't use the D850 on PagePlus/Verizon... Verizon is CDMA carrier not GSM. The only reason why Verizon uses sim cards is for LTE.
You'd only be able to use a VS985 or a LS985 on page plus.

I am aware of that.
I switched from PagePlus (Verizon) using the VS985 to Cricket (AT&T) using the D850 with the Cricket SIM. The person I bought the D850 from said it was SIM unlocked and I'm trying to verify that; I've purchased an unlock code for the D850, but when I dial the code I mentioned above each of the five options returns the "Your phone is not yet personalized" message with the only option being "Dismiss."
You then told me to insert a non-accepted SIM so I inserted the PagePlus (Verizon) SIM.

Ahh so you where just testing? Well using a Verizon system to test is not a good test. But wait your trying using a Cricket sim? A D850 does not have to he unlocked to work on Cricket, AT&T Go Phone, H20 and other AT&T mvnos. It just works.
If your trying to use a non AT&T/mvno sim then it would need to be unlocked like if you wanted to use T-Mobile.
Also if the phone is locked you CANT unlock it using a custom ROM, you have to flash it back to stock. But if your using it on Cricket the phone doesn't have to be unlocked.

I want to unlock the D850 for international use, specifically using LTE Band 1. The "Your phone is not yet personalized" message only appears when I boot the stock ROM; I can't access the menu in any custom ROM.

So your using the back to stock guide and going 100% completely back to stock before trying by using the tot method right?
So are you trying to use the Verizon sim to unlock it? If so that might be a problem and you'd need something like a T-Mobile sim

Yep, it had Lollipop when I got it, so I tot'ed back to KK.
The seller of the unlock code's instructions indicate their code will work with the Cricket SIM or an "unapproved" SIM, so I restored stock KK and entered the 2945etc code and received the message that is the title of this thread.
Perhaps the phone is already unlocked, as the person from whom I bought it said it was. I don't know this to be true, so I'm trying to verify before travel.

The only way to verify is use a T-Mobile sim or non USA sim.

Ya I figured, it's just interesting that the seller of the SIM unlock said it would work with the Cricket SIM.

You can get a T-Mo sim for free. Either go into a T-Mo store, or get one on their site.
I inserted a T-Mobile SIM and dialed 2945#*850# and after selecting each of the five options I recieved the "Your phone is not personalized" message.
Perhaps the phone is already unlocked? The carrier logo at the top left of the screen said T-Mobile, and when I went into Settings/About Phone it said T-Mobile LTE.

Your phone is unlocked. If your phone was locked when you turn it on it will tell you. I'm not sure but that code I don't think has anything to do with unlocking lol. You never enter a code in the dailer. You always just enter your unlock code when you boot your phone.
Your phone is unlocked or you wouldn't be seeing the T-Mobile network.
I'm having a similar situation. I have the 851, and I'm receiving this same message. The phone was locked to T-Mobile, but I want to use it for Metro. Please help.

Call the original carrier of the phone, they should be able to get the unlock code. If not them, call ur carrier.

I got unlocked code from AT&T but did not get the unlock screen when I boot the phone with other sim card. The unlock did not work when I get to the unlock screen by dialing a special code. After reverting the phone to a stock ROM, the unlock works as the instruction that come with the unlocked described. Thanks
I guys I bought a Galaxy S6 SM-920I (Claro Puerto Rico) im trying to sim unlock it to use it with AT&T nobody like UnlockUnit.com and other pages can't find a unlock code for my phone. Can I unlock this one?
Please Help!
Somebody? anybody? PLEASE lol!
Are you sure that the SIM is Locked?
You should be able to just pop in an AT&T sim card if it really is a 920I. The ones I was looking at shopping all said they were unlocked, or region specific unlocked to North/South America carriers. Are you really getting a sim unlock prompt when you turn on the phone with the AT&T sim inside?
Yes I'm gettin a sim unlock code for some reason I right that the international S6 would be unlocked but is locked to Claro Puerto Rico!!!

I am about to port this line over to at&t, is there anything special I need to do to get data working correctly when I put the new att sim in? I'm asking because I have heard of data issues when using the sprint u11 on at&t. Phone is sim unlocked with the stock sprint rom.
Nevermind, looks like its an att issue.
S-off and flash to US Unlocked firmware. That *may* help.
