[Q][Unlocked Skyrocket not getting signal]

I have a skyrocket that i unlocked Via cellunlocker.net. they gave me the unlock code and i punched it into my phone and it unlocked my phone successfully. here is where the problems came.
i have spent hours searching the web on how to get a tmobile signal on the skyrocket but nothing works. i have many roms, kernels, and radios on my phone including Juggernaut, stock ics, nexusmod ics zero 2 and more as far as roms go.
for the kernels i have the zefie mod .001, hercules ics kernel 009, instigatorx jb kernel, and the stock skyrocket kernel
for radios i have the blaze 4g LB7, Blaze 4g LF4, SGH-T989D KJ3, SGH-T989 TLLE4, tmo SGH-T989 KID, and tmo SGH-T989 VKL1 radios
no matter what combinations i try i cannot get a tmobile signal. when i start the phone up with the tmobile sim card in it it gives me the message "phone not allowed MM#6. when i set the APN nothing changes when ever i try to make a call i get the message "not registered on network" and when i try to register on the network and go back to the phone, i get the same message.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME? PLEASE!!!!

Try to flash the ROM and the radio and then do the unlock sequence see what happens

Does the IMEI display correctly when *#06# is dialed? If not, mostly likely a corrupt EFS which can sometimes be fixed with: this

i will try to enter the unlock code on when i flash a ROM but i am pretty sure that whenever i entered my unlock code it permentantly unlocked my phone. also my IMEI is displayed correctly when i dial that number, however i did not have the tmo sim card in when i entered it. i will try again with the tmobile sim card in there and see what happens. thanks for your responses

If the IMEI displayed without SIM card its fine. A stock ROM is required to enter the unlock code. The phone should prompt for the unlock code when booted with the TMO SIM card. After unlocking on stock ROM any other ROM can be flashed and the phone will remain unlocked. As a check, you should be able to get EDGE data on stock GB or ICS after unlocking. Then experiment with other ROMs/radios after verifying data on stock.

I entered the unlock code with a custom rom installed so i will odin the phone with the stock ROM and try to enter the unlock code again and see if that works.

I cannot enter the unlock code again. I flashed a new rom and put my tmobile sim card in and the the phone does not ask me enter the unlock code again. Also whenever I put my tmobile sim card in the new voicemail icon pops up but I cannot call voicemail or anyone else because it still says not registered on network.

Maybe you need an unlocked radio. The radio may be locked on the US frequencies and preventing from using the other bands...

Btw, you only need to unlock your phone once. Flashing other ROMs or radios does not re-lock the phone.

I have just put the latest jb cm10 software on my skyrocket and I have noticed that my lte is gone? Is anyone having this issue besides me?

OP, someone, google the response and see what it is first shot. Why so difficult?
Here's one of the hits:
http://forums.crackberry.com/blackberry-curve-3g-f216/phone-not-allowed-mm6-728778/
This clearly explains why the OP can't connect to T-Mo network, and it has absolutely nothing to do with bands, radio, or whatever.

[Q] LG Optimus 3D p925g

heey everyone i have some questions about this rooting and rom stuff..i just bought one of these 3d ( already unlocked (rogers) ) phones from kijiji and i see you can customize it with these roms and rooting.. my questions are if i root it and/or hard reset the phone will i need a new unlock code to use with my carrier (bell)? and if I dont need to re-enter a new code to work with my carrier (bell) can i get rid of these unwanted apps by doing this?? cant seem to find a real answer here lol

XBSA vR3D ROM is based on the Rogers version of ICS. Yes you can delete whatever you want; by installing the custom ROM, much of that is already done for you. I am not sure what you mean about a code...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195753

yaah the code for my sim card... so i can use it with another carrier....ie,,,,(bell) because i bought the phone already unlocked..original carrier is rogers....just wondering if i make a custom root orr whatever will that sim lock again?.

For me this was no problem, but I only swapped cards to unlock, no code.

HELPPPP??????

the phone is already unlocked (p925g from ROGERS)....so i can use it with any sim card (MY PROVIDER IS BELL) and i already know how to make a new APN...just simply want to know if I do this will the phone lock again back to original state.(HOW IT CAME FROM ROGERS) AND WILL I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT UNLOCKED AGAIN?????

Yelling is unnecessary. I dunno man, try it and see. If not, an unlock code is like $2 on eBay.

And the ROM did not come from Rogers, it was based on Rogers firmware with the bloatware removed by xbsall.

No prompt for unlock code!

Hi, I recently received an unlock code for my moto g. But when I put another sim in I don't get the prompt to enter my unlock code, just says no sim and "emergency calls only". I've tried rebooting and taking sim in and out.. I'm just wondering if it has something to do with me not being on a stock ROM, I'm using omniROM at the moment. Will I have to return to stock in order for it to pick up the other sim or is there another way to get the unlock code window up?

Is this a two-sim phone, or single sim phone? And, are you sure the sim is good. Tell us which device you have by model number.

Single sim xt1032. And yes it was one of my friends working sims..

I am wondering if the contact on the sim are just not lining up correctly. Do you have other sims to try just to get a feel of the percentage of those that work and those that do not? Testing with just two sims is not effective. You will need maybe 6 to get a metric. If 5 work and 1 doesn't then it is probably that sim.

Yeah I tried a few more. I just decided to revert back to stock and it worked straight away.. Thanks for your help anyway!

SIM Unlock - Your phone is not yet personalized. ???

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.

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

Phone network locked after flashing through Odin?

Hi,
I have a Samsung S8+ which I bought unlocked to any network, I have used it on EE and Vodafone. I had rooted the phone, flashed different roms etc no problem. After I got my new phone, I tried to get the sim out of the S8+ and the tray was stuck, left with no choice I forced it out but this broke the sim card reader as it wouldn't read any SD or Sim.
I flashed a stock 9.0 pie UK version (Unlocked) to the phone through Odin and got the sim card tray replaced, now it reads SD cards and my sim but it says network locked and is asking for the NUC code, the phone was unlocked before and now it isnt. I've contacted Vodafone for a NUC code but the code isn't working (says incorrect code), I've tried flashing stock 8.0 too, also not working and still asking for the NUC. Strangely, it isn't working on either EE or Vodafone Sims now.
Could the sim card tray being replaced effect this? Is it the software flashed through Odin?
Any help will be appriciated please.
Thanks
Sam

Is it possible not only the SIM tray but the whole motherboard was replaced? It would make perfect sense then. Check whether your IMEI and S/N match what was on the box the phone came in.

It is strange normally sim unlocks are not undone by odin flashing. Sim unlocks lie in a non flashed partition
