First of all, you have to obtain unlocked code. You can obtain from T-Mobile if you passed 3 months after you requested last unlocked code, and the phone passed 14 days (30 days in CA) trial. It is recommended to request it through online chat to ensure it's 100% correct (you can obtain your IMEI by key in *#06# from dial. Make sure you triple-check it).
After you obtained your unlocked code, go to dialer (you don't have to have foreign SIM but it is recommended to test) and input
2945#*999#
(this method works with ANY LG GSM Android phone because #*xxx# is actually your phone model. For example, Optimus T is P509 then #*509# and G2x is P999 so #*999#)
Enter unlock code correctly. Once you verified everything is correct, you can press the button below, and the phone will reboot, then the phone is unlocked.
-----edit-----
Notice: you must with stock ROM in order to make it work. If you flashed it with custom ROM, use your Clockworkmod to backup your current ROM and install stock ROM (2.2 in order to root it).
After you successfully unlocked it, you can go to CWM and restore it back.

This is strange because I was not asked for receipt for the phones purchased from corp store or my t-mobile. It may be possible you didn't purchase under your phone number.
If you are in good standing, thet wouldn't ask you for anything. I bought my g2x off CL, and I got my unlock code through email with no problem whatsoever, got my code 8 hours after i've requested it.
sweet added to the sticky (rollup and forum).

It didn't work on my Optimus T. I exactly followed the instruction but there's NO prompt when I put in old Wataniya (from Kuwait) SIM, so I did a search and found the working instruction.
It was used for Optimus P540, but I found it also works with Optimus T (change to 509) and G2x (change to 999) and I got an unlock prompt even with T-Mobile SIM.
Got my unlocked code from tmobile within 12hrs for my G2x that I purchased from ebay. All the lady ask for was the IMEI number.
do u noe the unlock code for phonetestmode or hiddenmenu?
Just wanted to say the OP was correct. I used the 2945#*999# to unlock my G2X and it worked perfectly. Only thing I should have known is that it won't work if you are on Wifi Calling. It needs a GSM signal to request the unlock.
P.S. I got the unlock code from unlockthatphone.com for $15. Took 12 hours to get it.
Wanted to say thanks for this thread. I chatted with a T-Mobile representative yesterday via the website and the request got sent in around 12:30 Eastern. Twenty-three hours later I had the code waiting in my inbox.
I decided to try an old, deactivated AT&T SIM I had in an old phone and it worked just fine to enter the unlock code. I would have used the Dialer method mentioned in the OP if that didn't work though, as I was able to get the unlock text box by entering the Dialer code as a test yesterday.
Thanks for the information, everyone!
I found this guide to be very helpful. I thank you as I am still waiting for my phone to arrive.
So unlocking does what? You can use it on ATT with what internet speeds? You can also use it in other countries to right? Whats the data speeds though?

I got my unlock code from t-mobile. I put in an ATT SIM & nothing appeared - so I tried this method. What happens to me is my phone says "USSD code running..." and then it just sits there - never pops up anything for me to enter the unlock code.
I'm running CM7, so I'm wondering if I actually have to flash my phone back to stock just to unlock the damn thing - sure hope not..hahaha
Any suggestions anyone?
Thanks!
Hello
I just recently got the optimus 3d. its brilliant!
With the help of this forum I've managed to root and get Clockwork then install thais rom.
amazing speed increase.
But i have just one issue.
My phone was locked to orange uk provider. when i bought the phone I had to call orange to have my phone 'activated'
only after i did that did the phone even receive a signal.
before that it just said emergency call only, or no signal.
now, i've unlocked the phone using a code. it now says no personalization when i check the lock menu.
but: when i insert another sim, vodaphone uk or 3 uk, it says emergency call only or no network.
whats going on?
please help...
thanks
after a search it seems other people also have this issue with no reply.
did anyone else have this problem and fix it?

The activation bit is for the sim card, I have a phone locked to O2 and what happens is you register the sim with them and then they enable it to use their network which is why until then it will say no network.
It is also the reason why if you put any other sim in the phone, and that sim has not yet been used to make calls, you get the same error.
As for the personalisation message on the unlock menu, I am unsure what you mean by the lock menu. I assume you mean the screen you see before you unlock your phone to use it each time, and did a search on google which produced no results but I would guess that if you are using a custom rom the message means you either have not personalised your screen or that the option is there to personalise it but has not been used.

unlock menu - where you enter the network unlock code.
i'm trying to use my 3 uk sim, its been on contract for over 2 years.
I know that a lot of unlocked phones wont work with 3, if you google 3 unlock you will find a lot of people have problems and some unlock companies even specify they wont unlock to 3 network but if it does the same with non 3 cards or only works with one operator perhaps the unlock was only partial?
I did a search for pedsonalisation and all I found were various unlock sites saying that a sucessful unlock needs you to have a personalisation menu.
My previous android phone had a device lock and a sim lock, could it be your unlock has only partially worked? Is it only one provider whose network you can access?

you're being really helpful so i give thanks.
i have tried o2 and vodafone sims in the phone also but to no avail... always says emergency only or no network, with both showing no signal.
would flashing the original orange rom back then retrying the lock code help? as of right now when i go to the unlock menu and click network lock it prompts a message stating my phone has no personalization.
sorry missed out a little bit of info.
the only network that works is orange, it gets full signal and works perfect, but i'd really like to use my contract sim instead of pay as you go extra on orange.
I've done some more searching and found that on a lot of phones that personalisation message means the phone unlock has failed and that after a successful unlock it should say something like "network lock has been personalised".
You do only get a certain number of tries so don't enter the code over and over, if you are sure you entered it correctly it means the code you got just didn't work (I had that when unlocking my previous LG and had to buy a code from somewhere else as the first one didn't work at all).
I am not recommending this site, it's just one that explained how to unlock so am posting a link in case it helps, but the site says you need to enter two codes on an Optimus 3D. One is for network lock and one for service provider lock, I know that some people on the xda forums have unlocked their phones so I hope they will jump in and help solve your problem as really all I can do is google for the bits I am unsure of but it would seem your code did not work, or that you need two codes and only had one.

http://videobam.com/YqMQH
might need to tilt head/computer screen
that was with orange sim, without orange sim it shows no signal and no network... its running thais rom.
heres a video of it using another sim.
when i start the phone with other sim, it prompts whether i'd like to use mobile data or not, but no connection!

Well having watched your videos I can clear up something, I think.
I had searched for terms based around "no personalisation available" which means your code did not work but searching for the actual message in the video "your phone is not personalised" produced completely different results.
That specific message means the option you are clicking on is not locked (not personalised by your provider) at least according to various pages I have found including a few on other well known Android forums so if that's correct your unlock did actually work and that is why the message appears.
The page at http://www.cpkb.org/wiki/LG_enter_NCK_code also mentions this code and its cause.
If the other sims you try offer you data or mobile but do not connect, yet you can make calls, then you need to set up your apn for that provider. The apn tells your phone how to connect to your provider.
This is really easy to do but you will need a free app called Apn global from the android market at https://market.android.com/details?id=osatek.apn.global obviously you need it on your device which can be done in various ways, possibly easiest if you can connect via wifi and go to the market.
Install and run it, pick the name of your provider (the provider whose sim you wish to use) and it will create the mms and internet settings for you. Then mobile data should work.
Alternatively if you have an android phone which you already use that sim on, install to that phone and choose the apps backup option which will backup your exact settings to sd card so you can import them to another android phone.
If you have other providers apns on there you will probably need to tell the phone to use your new settings. Simply go to your phones settings menu, find the wireless settings option and click it then scroll down the screen to "mobile networks" and click that. Then click "Access point names" and choose the desired provider. I have three on my phone and you can always revert to any other settings if you change provider later.
The apn app is very useful, I have used it on a few phones, it has a large list of providers worldwide so you should find your choice of provider there and hopefully that will solve your problem.
Dave
Thanks for the reply dave, but I have yet more bad news sadly.
I can't actually make calls, as shown in the second video it shows no network/emergency calls only.
It's hard to believe no-one else has this issue.
I have owned lots of android in the past(started with g1, then hero, then jumped to zte blade then galaxy 1, now this) none of them posed any difficulty removing network lock.
Its such a strange problem that a search of this forum shows at least one other person had this issue but no-one could help.
Sorry if this sounds stupid but have you gone into the settings menu on your phone (Settings/Wireless and Networks/Mobile Networks/) and chosen the "select your network provider" option?
There you can force your phone to use a specific network provider.

I have with error "Unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later."
I don't think I can help, though I did some more googling and on the cyanogen mod forums someone posted a similar problem....
I've been using the nightly builds of CM7 since they came out and have had no network problems. I then installed version 7.0 [stable] when it came out, and just yesterday I installed version 7.0.3 [stable].
I have had no signal since, and whenever I try and select my network from the Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Operators, it comes up saying "Unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later.".
It is nothing to do with my network provider, as my brother's phone works fine and he is on the same network as me.
I am on Three Mobile.
Please help!
RESOLVED: I just wiped all userdata and reflashed CM 7.0.3, I'm a very impatient person

If you fail to get a solution this option may help but probably best as a last resort. One thing I did notice when watching your second video is that you have the wireless on, this will stop your phone connecting to any providers mobile data so at least as far as mobile data goes you won't be able to use it when connected to wifi and would have to switch wifi off in order to test the mobile data connection.
Also I know that on my O3D my wireless sometimes seems to cause my phone signal to switch off with the little x. I doubt that is the cause of your problem but may be worth trying to connect with no wifi.

I'm going to try reinstall the original orange rom that came with it and downgrade baseband, if that fails to work after a full reinstall using lgflashtool I'll have to try get another phone.
thanks for all your help dave, i really appreciate it!
A popular unlock site says the only steps needed to unlock to any network are...
1. Input a non accepted simcard
2. Phone will display enter “Sim network unlock PIN” or “Enter Network Unlock Code”
3. Input the 8 or 16 digit unlock code that was emailed to you
4. Phone is unlocked!
If you did this, which you obviously have, your phone is unlocked and the problem must be something else but if you're going to flash a copy of the orange rom you might want to check first with one of the more knowledgeable users here that the rom won't replace some of the locks you already removed.
I checked around and from what I have found it should be as easy as put the new providers apn on your phone, select their settings from mobile networks menu for provider and also mobile data and that should work.
One orange customer who unlocked a different model android phone found that all they had to do was flash the radio only (not the rom), not sure how you do that but there are probably guides on xda.
Dave
I flashed the original orange rom and after flashing the froyo basrband it suddenly worked. Flashed gb again and it still worked, seems i just hsd to reflash basebsnd/radio like you said.
Thank you so much

Hi pauliebb,
I have the same problem that you had. I bought a used unlock O3D vodafone ES to gift to my brother, he lives in south america and he told me that the mobile does not recognize his SIM. What did you exactly do you did to reflash the baseband firmware???
I supposed thet the mobile is unlock because it shows the same message when enter to the unlock options "phone is not personalised"

[Q] T-Mobile SIM Unlock - Can't manually enter SIM Unlock Code - "Use Unlock app"
Turns out I still don't have coverage at home with T-Mobile's network. I purchased my Z3 D6616 outright (full price). However, when I insert a SIM from another carrier, I get this message* instead of the usual prompt to enter a SIM unlock PIN. I guess they only want you to use their new unlock tool, as a way to prevent 3rd party unlocks.
Am I really stuck using T-Mobile for 2 months because this phone cannot be unlocked manually with a PIN, like most phones? Is there any workaround to bring up the menu to enter the unlock code?
*This device can be remotely unlocked if eligible. Please use the Device Unlock application to unlock the device. . ."
I have the same issue. Unfortunately I was not able to find a solution yet.
I've read somewhere that the Simlockunlockapp.apk is missing from the firmware (this is the default app used by Android to display the network unlocking popup).

Yeah, I'm betting they removed the ability to do so in favor of their new "Device Unlock" app, that way people cannot unlock via a 3rd party. I'm bummed because I already paid for an unlock code, but have no way of entering it! :crying:
I believe legally they have to unlock. Try calling customer support.

I hope you are not a "current" T-Mobile user, because if you are they do it after 45 days of activation for free.
Do you find a solution? maybe if we root the phone and install another rom we can have the ability to input the network code, another thing I did was refill my t-mobile account to a total of $100 USD to make me eligible to use the "unlock app"

It is rooted. I dont use samsung pay by choice. But my understanding is if you have root. No samsung pay. I have never tried. I live in central Illinois. Not that big here yet.
I would assume it was locked however I don't get the pop up telling me to enter my PIN to unlock it. It just opens like normal and says invalid SIM card. Then if I try to add an APN it shows none and doesn't allow me to add. Any way to see in a hidden menu of it is set to carrier unlocked or to get the PIN menu to show up?

You have to get root and use online service to get unlocked. After that contact at&t and give you imei number to provision your phone. Make sure you have a lte sim card from at&t first. With root your able to edit apn.

If it says invalid sim and you cant edit apn then the sim is locked to whatever carrier. It is not unlocked. Going to have to use an unlocking service.
I used idone.apps after the service has ran you have access to hidden menu, radio settings, and a few other tools in the unlock apk form idone.app. phone will reboot twices during unlocking service. Then att sim will work. I didnt have to call att to have them do crap.

Usually the simplest way is to request an unlock code from your carrier, quite often carrier app will allow you to request the code.

Unfortunately ive been in touch with the carrier, however they claim that they cant find the phone in their database and still the phone is preloaded with their app and it only works with their SIM card.
Try a third party, you'll have to pay or there is a guy here who does it free in his free time so don't bug him.
Flashing any ROM like you've done won't do anything. The lock isn't in the ROM software.
What message does your phone reads when you insert a non-accepted SIM Card?
Does it ask you for anything or does it display a message?
Also, check your IMEI's status on imeipro.info to make sure it is not blacklisted.

Flashing any ROM like you've done won't do anything. The lock isn't in the ROM software.

Do you know who that guy is? I dont mind paying for it.
I already tried a third party who claims they will send an unlock code within 10-30 mins. They sent me an app and also an unlock code. The app itself shows that "the device is permanently unlocked" but its not and they dont answer anymore now.

If your phone asks for SIM network unlock PIN, then you should be able to get the unlock code from any unlock code provider you find.
There is no need to install an app, you just need the 8 digits unlock code.
you can use https://www.unlockgsm.net website to unlock any network carrier.
