Running a stock G2X on GB. Purchased an unlock code (going out of country). After 6-7 tries with inactive ATT sim card, no joy. Any thoughts on unlocking other than the instructions which come with the code (and which can be seen in many posts)?

Dear all i am new captivate owner.Living in pakistan.My captivate is "sim free", but locked to AT&T network.Can anyone tell me how to unlock this phone without AT&T sim card inserted in it.Thanks in advance.
Assuming you have the unlock code, you would insert a Non-AT&T SIM in order to get the phone to prompt you to enter it.
If you already have the unlock code from AT&T, the information at the end of the YouTube video is all you need. As is stated above, start the phone with NO SIM CARD and follow the instructions on the phone's screen.
As AT&T will not release the unlock code to a phone/account that is less than ten months old--with some exceptions--you may be forced to pay for the unlock code if you don't already have it. AFAIK, if you don't have an AT&T account, they will not provide an unlock code to you in any case... although, you may be able to sweet-talk a rep into helping you over the phone. Additionally, there are many "for a charge unlocking services" on the 'Net.
These two links might be of help to you. You'll find a lot of references with a Google search for "unlock samsung captivate at&t" and many on XDA-Developers as well. Good luck.

Hey everyone, I am in need of unbranding?(Is that what its called)? my HTC Sensation so I can use my AT&T sim card and have the phone available as my work phone, but I never have unbranded before, I am S-Off, I have Elegancia 3.6.5, and It is Tmobile U.S...i looked around but I am still confused...caould someone point me in the direction of the file(s) I need...and do I just flash this file or?...I hope not dumb questions, but there are so many roms/kernels, etc I dont fully understand the unbranding thing quite yet...Thanks so much....Dirty
To use different sim cards in your phone you need to sim unlock. If your phone is locked to orange for example, put a t-mobile sim in it and boot it. You will be asked for an unlock code. Call your carrier and request one, you may have to pay but it only has to be entered once and the phone will become permanently sim unlocked and won't be affected by flashing, rooting, modding etc...
There are sites online that offer to generate codes for you but IMHO don't trust them, go straight to your carrier. I'm on OrangeUK and was charged £15 for the code. Hope this helps..

I just flashed the .nbh file through recovery and it worked perfectly
I recently bought a AT&T HTC One X for dad and installed CM10 on it. He was about to go overseas, so I called AT&T and requested an unlock code. They said they would give it to me, but it would take 8 days. (He was leaving in 6)
So, on the 8th day, AT&T gave me the code. I called him and instructed him on how to put it in....and it didn't work. From reading forums, it appears the having CM10 is the issue.
My dad doesn't know how to flash back to stock. (he barely understands how to send a text message)
So, Is there anyway to SIM unlock the phone with CM10?
No other way sorry
For some reason, you have to be on a Sense-based ROM to enter the SIM unlock code.
Just flash any Sense custom ROM, enter the code, then restore back to CM10.
As already indicated, no way to do it on CM10. So if you can't talk your dad through it, and he is traveling abroad already, he's probably stuck SIM locked.
Hi
I have an note 3 (n900w8) sim locked by a local carrier. I've contact them but they won't provide sim unlock code to use the phone with another carrier.
I've googled and tried stuff for the last 48hs; this is what I've accomplished thus far:
- most websites I've found offers sim unlock codes for some money. I don't want to pay; I don't understand why there are plenty free kernels and roms around there, that looks a lot more work than a unlock code or an unlock calculator, and one have to pay for a sim code. What am I missing?
- well, with the phone, I've read about RegionLock Away, so I've rooted my phone (the first method I've found; I did not know about knox and now the warranty is void, I think that's not important), anyway, the phone was rooted, I applied it twice, but it didn't work.
- I've tried 2 other firmwares from sammobile. It didn't work. I don't know if I got bad luck or firmware changing does nothing to do with sim loock.
- I also installed cyanogenmod. just in case. simlock still there.
- I've tried this. MMI code is not recognized.
Well, I appreciate any help poiting me in the right direction. I don't know what should I search for or what should I flash.
Thank you very much!
Hello everyone,
This is my first post I am stumped and need your help. I have a Samsung s6 (t-mobile 920t), my phone came with the t-mobile loaded app which allows the phone to be unlocked via t-mobile.
I know under the factory rom ( I have marshmallow 6.0.1) a sim unlock code is no good as there is no prompt for the code to be entered.... So, I rooted and installed 2 different roms: (carHDrom v.25-4dpJ2 and also XtreStoLite-ROM-3.3.1-DPDP) both roms rune beautifully. I AM PROMPTED the sim unlock screen, however I in put the sim unlock code which I bought yesterday via ebay and I get a error message saying " sim network unlock request unsuccessful". I bought this phone used it works fine on t-mobile. I am putting my At&t sim card in it, my sim card works perfectly in my rooted s5 from t-mobile however that phone gave me the option to put in a sim unlock code. The only thing is my at&t sim card was cut by me asit was a larger sim card to fit my s5, upon entering it into the s6 it is a bit smaller but still the phone detects a sim card is inside.
I have been racking my brain trying to figure out what the issue, is and I dont know what to do, I am reaching out to everyone for help.
