I got the 'STRING: NOT FOUND' error on method one, so I moved to ADB Guide method and successfully unlocked it.

If you unlock the phone, it will still work with the original SIM card.
One possible reason that the other T-Mobile SIM didn't work is that it might not have been a newer 4G-capable SIM card, or the contacts became dirty ( they can easily be cleaned with a pencil eraser).

Did you try inserting "a SIM card not attached to your current provider (e.g if you have T-mob use an ATT SIM CARD) and turn on your phone?" (credit sanfranx415 post) edit: maybe try a different gsm carrier in the same country you reside.
From what I have read and understand different versions of busybox will work or are compatible for different things (maybe somebody will tell me if that is not accurate).
Here is a video that might help.
Good luck!
Try contacting t mobile and tell them your going overseas for a few months and want to take your phone with you and is there a way to unlock it so it can be used in another country.

When you insert the sim card and power up the phone, as you unlock it it should give you a network lock screen that only lets you use the phone after inputting the unlock code.
Ok so i tried the unlocking method 1 for my sensation and found my 8 digit unlocking code, however when i put in any other sim card rather than the one the phone is locked to is says no sim card in phone so i have no way of inputing the unlock code.
Any ideas?
Thanks in Advance
i think it states in the unlock thread that it wont work with ALL sensations
Thanks for the reply, yes for some people method 1 just shows a date, but mine gave me the 8 digit unlock code.
The problem is the phone is locked to Meteor but when i insert any other sim then a Meteor one it says no sim card in phone, it should ask to enter the 8 digit network unlock code which it doesn't because its not recognising the sim card for some reason.
mine too, not detect the sim card..
Did you solved the problem?
regards

Did you put the code in with the meteor sim inserted?
you could always just flash another ROM and that should fix the issue, I know it's a bit drastic but if you really want to use another carrier...

Sorry for only replying now, still not resolved, how would i put the code in with the meteor sim in it?
Ive already tried changing the rom and tried the method 2 unlock but it still won't recognise any other sims apart from meteor ones.
Is it possible to use the Inspire without a sim card on WIFI for internet and email?
Every Android phone I have ever used has allowed me to "use" the phone without a sim card, but the inspire has a pop up message saying:
phone options
unable to detect your sim card.
Please make sure that your sim
card is properly inserted and
restart your phone.
The only two options that I have are "shut phone down" or "restart", and I have been unable to find a way past this message to use this as a wifi only device.

You should have not an issue to do that....make sure that there's no SIM in the phone or you won't be able to use it. With no sim on it u can access the phone and use WI FI and mail with no problems at all...I am currently using it no sim at all...
theres no sim in it, yet i keep getting that same message....tried rebooting the phone and everything.

I actually just picked this phone up via a trade so my wife could try Android out, so all I can say is that I haven't entered the wrong unlock code as I haven't attempted to unlock it.
Thanks for the help, though, I appreciate it.
yeah easy way is just to run the ace hack kit...it will unlock and root it...THEN you shouldn't have no problem of running it without sim card...very simple and easy to do too

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?

No the phone is unrooted and running isc 4.0.3 but the question is how to enter the unlock code without the phone asking
How many different carrier sims have you tried? Some carriers use the same carrier code and as such there sim will not prompt you for the code. Like in the UK giffgaff and tesco mobile run on the o2 network. And as such do not require the sim unlock to run on an o2 locked phone. Try as many as you can find from different carriers. And if that fails, and it still doesn't give you the prompt, you can s-off the device, and then follow the sim unlock guide by viper (I believe) and do it for free
