Is there any way to unlock the sim unlock the phone for free?
When I got my G2, I was able to unlock it via gfree.
If not, can a fellow XDA T-Mobile user help me out? I run on AT&T. They're free to request and only takes a few minutes...
Yes.
Search the forum, I posted something on this.

I know the Sensation had a way to unlock once you had root, I'll see if I can find the link once I get home.
Here you go.

Which part is specific to the phone? I obtained the unlock code for my phone from T-Mobile, but right now I don't have another SIM. I would like to enter the code before I get to China and find out the code I'm given doesn't work. I remember on my old Motorola phone I could enter a sequence in the dialer to bring up the unlock function, enter the unlock code, and it was good. Is that possible on the MT4GS?

Do you recommend the method from the sensation forum, or your method?
They are both posted under the sticky in the general section.

If you can get your hands on an AT&T or other non tmobile sim card, you can unlock your phone. Just insert any "foreign" sim card and the phone will prompt you to enter the code.
lol, flag down a friend and use their sim card for a few seconds
I'll try tipping **05*06390811*1234*1234# but it gave an error and then 9 try left. The method for the sensation didnt help either.
You can always call tmobile (if you have tmobile) and say that you are going to leave the country for 1 month and need to unlock the phone to use it outside. They are legally obligate to give you the code if you have been with them more than 6 months (or something like that). I dont know what are the laws outside USA

That's the reason why I started this thread. I don't have tmobile, so I can't ask for a code from them. I was hoping someone else on XDA would be able to help me out with that, by requesting a code for me.
I used a 8 year old NEXTEL sim to get the unlock prompt
I was totally aware it would not connect to any network afterwards, I only needed the prompt.
I did verify it (days later) with a AT&T sim and all was good

You have to have root to get the msl code threw the terminal . You did something wrong I can assure you it does work.
I have never used the second method in the sticky.

You both need to be on a Stock Sense ROM to get the unlock prompt. MikTouch will do as well as bullet proof. I did it from MikTouc

Here we go with yet another unlock solution.
This one applies to almost (if not all) devices which are radio S-off, it’s fairly easy to use and doesn’t wipe data/settings nor have that ugly side effect (when using diag files) in which you lose conectivity to mobile network.
Supported devices so far:
HTC Sensation (pyramid)
HTC Evo 3D (shooter)
HTC EVO 3D GSM (shooteru)
HTC myTouch Slide 4G
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(by the use of revolutionary)
and:
Sprint EVO 4G
Droid Incredible (HTC Incredible)
HTC Desire CDMA (HTC BravoC)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(by the use of unrevoked 3 – not tested)
These are the required steps you have to take:
1. S-off your phone by using Revolutionary (if you haven’t already done that).
2. Fill in the form with the required data. This will generate an unique Config.dat file for your device. Please enter a valid email address, as you’ll be sent there the link to download the file.
This step you'll have to take here
3. Put the file on the root of your sdcard and reboot your phone into HBOOT (adb reboot oem-42). Once you’re there, navigate to Simlock and press Power. The phone will load the file and remove the simlock. Some text will appear on the screen and at a certain point you’ll be asked to press Vol-Up to restart the phone.
4. Just do it, and you’ll be done!
PLEASE NOTE!:
This solution is heavily linked to the device it's being applied to by the use of IMEI, which can be considered a breach in security.
DISCLAIMER:
This solution provided for you on this site is given AS IS and in GOOD FAITH and is based on the research I made. I may not accept any liability or responsibility for the use of this applicaton.
If you find this tool useful and appreciate my work, Paypal me a beer, it helps development a lot..
This really should be in the development section.

Not for certain circumstances.. T-Mobile will only give it you you if you meet some criteria.. i.e. you're account has been active for 6 months.. I don't know what the actual criteria are.. that was just an example...
not to mention that you have to wait over 24hours to get the email with the unlock code.. this method was a lot faster than a half hour phone call with a t-mobile rep.
I was a customer for about 6 days and was given the code over the phone.

Rev is used to gain s off that's all. Which allows unsigned flashing
As for the unlock methods you may want to test this out my sig has this method and one using terminal emulator method no idea if they will work.

my touch 4g Slide NO CALLS with S-off sim unlocked METROpCS
So its 2014.. I know I should get a better phone.. Good news its I got my my touch 4g slide bootloader unlocked and S-off. Also did the sim unlock on the site that emails you back the file and unlocks the sim.. BUT here is my problem
when I put my metro sim in the phone.. no matter which rom I load (which I can now load rom recovery from sd) the phone wont work..
When I go into the settings metropcs and att show up but when I try and select it, it tells me not allowed right now, or sim card doesn't allow that connection. So I cannot get it to work. Is there a way they are locking sim cards to their phones?
I would have thought getting S-off and running the simlock file I'd be good to go.. Anyone PLZ help I am desparate to figure out what is wrong here.
Picture Of S-off UNLOCKED bootloader NO SVC
Here is a picture of the phone.. Likewise no SVC with metro sim.. I don't have a tmobile card to test with but I think either the sim lock didn't work, or metropcs is somehow locking the sim to IMEI
Anyone with ideas here plz help. If it is IMEI to sim is there a way to unlock sim or change iMEI? I know its illegal to change an ESN but imei..
Also if its blacklisted would it be blacklisted for metro too?

So I thought of a couple things. With a little research, one got shot down right off the bat:
http://www.phonescoop.com/carriers/carrier.php?c=11
http://www.gsmarena.com/t_mobile_mytouch_4g_slide-4018.php
Some carriers use weird frequency bands that the phone wouldn't support. MetroPCS uses 1700 or 1900MHz (depending where you are), which the phone totally covers. So not that.
Related to that though, is the APN settings. If you have more than one (my Rogers setup has 4), it may be stuck on an APN that just isn't working for you. So Settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.
Finally (just thought of it), you may want to test your MetroPCS SIM card on a different (smart)phone. I had recent problems with my SIM (I guess it was swapped out too many times, besides being 6-7 years old), although it worked fine on a feature phone. And if you can get your hands on a different SIM (T-Mobile or otherwise), and encounter the same problem, it could very well be a (hard-to-resolve) problem with the phone. If it is blacklisted, it would be blacklisted nationally if not internationally, and there is an IMEI database to check it against:
http://www.imei.info/
Hope this helps.
Check your imei for blacklist status on the tmo website. MetroPCS is now wholly owned by TMo, it shouldn't need to be unlocked. AT&T and Tmo share blacklist data as well. If your phone is sketchy you are out of luck.
If the SIM is old you might try a new one and see if that helps.

I was looking into this, and this forum thread came up:
http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...-married-to-ESN-of-one-phone-only-that-sucks!
Looks like you can transfer phones by letting MetroPCS know of the new IMEI, but you cannot register two (or more) IMEI's for the same SIM. So depends on how you want to use your Doubleshot. I'd give them a call (or better yet, go into their store), maybe the old IMEI will still work (the thread was a bit iffy on this result) with the new (Doubleshot) one entered.
Thanks

Wow! so that's a bummer. I really like the doubleshots keyboard but I think the exhibit from them is better. Although I tried several firmwares on it and Netflix will no longer work with custom roms (thank DRM for that) I did get hella mods to this one, but would love to have both, I was thinking the sim was somehow locked. I have a sim reader any software to check? copy clone??? new to GSM, but know lots about CDMA.. I wish it were easy to just clone IMEI like ESNS

Thanks so much. I know that this post is old and you dont expect people to use it still but i have no way of saying thanks. i had been trying everything for about 4 hours and i just gave up. i was trying to use the phone on tmobile, but every method would not generate an unlock code. i actually found the app on 4shared so i didnt have to pay. instead of actually letting the app unlock the phone for me, i actually just wrote down the 8 digit unlock code and will test it out as soon as my sim card tray gets replaced this weekend. Again. Thanks so much.
So you stole the software.
i have a Motoroi XT720 rooted. i just want to use 3g, sms, call features of the phone. is there a way to maku it unlock?
anyone guys?
come on guys,anyone?
Well, I'll tell you that I've certainly read your posts each time you bump this, but I hesitate to answer because your question is so vague and without any details to work from.
The only way I know to remove a sim lock is to use the various shops/online stores that sell unlock codes. As far as the how to get 3G working... you need to find out what frequencies are used by your carrier and what their apn settings are.
Oh, my bad. What should i post here about my xt720? Is unlock code the only way?

I don't expect you need to unlock, but *you* asked about it in the first post...?!?
I'll just suggest that your phone is in your hands in front of your eyes giving you trouble. Most of us just aren't psychic.
If you want help, you need to tell us what you need help with as *specifically* as possible. If you don't want help just continue what you're doing and before long you'll be on everyone's block list.

Try typing words exactly as they are displayed on the phone in a dialog/error message or take a screenshot/photo. I can't even guess what "unlock thing" means. I assume you flashed the ROM yourself? Did it work on stock before you flashed the custom ROM?
oh to be clear ,the problem is i cant use SIM card. no signal, no recognition, no anything.
and yes i flashed the rom by myself. And on stock rom it does not work also.

"Sim Pin"
my phone's current state is no gsm. no sms and call features. no phone features.
I think a sim pin code is different from a subsidy lock (but I'm not 100% certain--subsidy lock is sometimes called a sim lock--sorry, it's confusing). A subsidy lock is what requires an unlock code. I know some people have reported problems using sim pin codes when using Motoroi ROMs after they were ported to Milestone XT720 (I think it was mostly French users that reported the problem--you can try searching the Bravo and XDAspecial threads in the XT720 Development section). IIRC the CyanogenMod's usually haven't had this problem, though and your signature say you're at least tried a CM7-based ROM.
I think people are suggesting that your carrier might be able to help you troubleshoot the problem. It sounds like a configuration problem on your sim card. It could be that you need a different sim card or that they need to reprogram it. At the very least I think you should know what the sim pin code is...

Sim pin lock: you have to enter a pin that you choose to use the phone
Subsidy lock: the phone is sold under contract by a particular carrier (suppose: SKTelecom) and only will work with a sim card from that same carrier.
To remove a sim lock you need to get an unlock code. I have not done this, but there are companies that you can purchase this from online. You have to provide them information about your phone (IMIE code and others I think) and they use some server to compute an unlock code that you enter in the phone. I think the online services charge something like $15 to provide the code. There are many videos on youtube showing how to unlock the XT720 (for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSCNxR2yzMw -- not an endorsement/recomendation/anything of that company -- just the first thing I found when searching youtube for "xt720 unlock"). So you can look at those videos and see if that's what you need to do or if you're seeing something else. There are also links in related videos that claim to tell you how you might go about generating the unlock code yourself (warez).

I have unlocked bootloader, installed recovery and rooted the device, still this crap pops up after inserting a different SIM card.
when bought seller claimed the phone was locked under Vodafone, but it is my understanding that Vodafone doesn't really blocked phones, besides I have unlocked the whole thing, if I install a custom ROM this would solve it all right?

I'm wondering if installing a custom ROM after a full reset could clear the issue!?
PUK Code
have you tried using a different sim card? As far as i can tell it looks like you have been locked out of that sim card. The only way to fix this is to get the PUK code from your service provider and enter it in. The default sim card code (the 4 digit one) is 1234 or 0000.

She is being asked to enter the SIM Network Unlock PIN which is a combination of 8 numbers
As for a different SIM card she will try tomorrow.

Any idea what I can do to get rid of this?
I have unlocked bootloader, installed recovery and rooted the device, still this crap pops up after inserting a different SIM card.
when bought seller claimed the phone was locked under Vodafone, but it is my understanding that Vodafone doesn't really blocked phones, besides I have unlocked the whole thing, if I install a custom ROM this would solve it all right?

if the phone is locked under vodafone then u need to get a unlock code from vodafone or buy a unlock code from some website(if ur trying to use it for another network). thats probably why u keep getting that message.

hi guyz.. need help badly... what do you think is the problem? I tried "Quadrant" app and all was nice and I had 5000+ score however during the 3d test where a planet was rotating, the planet stretches intermittently during that phase.. I dont know what was being tested at that time but I think it will give a clue.
Note: I also encountered this strange stretching/flickering effect on lane splitter, where's my water and train conductor 2. I also saw random/intermittent text stretching on google map application... please help...
Hello everybody!!
I'm from Colombia and I got a Samsung SGH-T769 Galaxy S Blaze 4G from T-Mobile US.
I've rooted the device but it's actually sim locked.
I've prove some "methods" like: looking for /efs/nv_data.bin in Terminal emulator app and in ADB; the Samsung Galaxy S unlock app.......
Those methods didn't function on my SGH-T769
I want, really, to unlock my Samsung, in order to use in Colombia.
Is there a method that really unlocks this phone? (sure, without buying online codes).
Is there a method like flashing "PG58DIAG.nbh" file (like in HTC Sensation 4G) ?????
Please, help me. Thank you very much.
PD: the "/efs/nv_data.bin" file doesn't exists in my phone (neither ADB/Terminal emulator nor Root explorer)
So far I haven't found an app to unlock the device, nor any instructions on how to unlock it, nor any freely available number to get the job done. I have read some people claiming to have successfully unlocked it using a code they pay for from one of the many 'unlock code for cash' sites around but I haven't tried it myself so I can't vouch for whether it's trustworthy or even if it works. Maybe someone else will chime in with some solid information.
The only way you are going to unlock it is by getting a code from the carrier or by someone who has the hardware and software to do it. I pm'd the original poster and offered the service if he so wishes... or if you would like to do it yourself you can purchase what is needed: http://octopusbox.com/eng/features/features
Yup. I got mine unlocked through T-Mobile for free. Just tell them that your going to travel during soon or something and they'll give you a pin in about 15 days. I think he codes vary from each blaze since they ask you what your imei number. Even if your not a T-Mobile customer, I think hey could still help you since it can be used with a prepaid sim card

When you called in did they ask you for any customer information? Or did the conversation just go:
"Good afternoon sir, how may I help you"
"Hi I need my phone unlocked"
"Sure thing, what's your IMEI?"
"My IMEI is 1234567"
"Okay we'll call you back in about 15 days with your code"

Mmmmmm, the problem is that I live in Colombia, and I got the phone through a familiar that lives in EE.UU.
So, I could ask him that call to T-Mobile and ask for a NCK for this phone... or call them myself ¿why not? jajajajajajaj.
Thanks for your answer

I just unlocked mine a few days ago. If you meet the requirements you should be fine, http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1588
I bought my phone from ebay from a guy in Florida (I'm in NY), I had it on my account for a few months. So I had no reciept or anything, or history of the phone. When I called they asked for my phone number, account passcode, the phones model name and IMEI. Then I gave them my email, and recieved the code via email in about 24hrs. So it was pretty painless and free.

Jejejejejeej excellent... I'll try this, I live in Colombia and I know how to call. Thanks!!!
FWIW I've successfully sim unlocked my T-Mobile Galaxy Blaze at the cost of ERASING THE IMEI! Why would I do such a thing you ask? Well I got a bum deal on a blaze that turned out to be blacklisted:crying: So I had nothing to loose by trying this method that I have used to unlock my T-Mobile GSIII and GSII. The problem with this on the blaze is that it doesn't have the dialer code options required to follow the steps outlined in the thread. So what I did (keep in mind I had nothing to lose) is flash the UVLE1 modem/radio for the t989(gs2) doing this gave me the correct dialer code menu options to unlock the sim and also erasing the IMEI in the process. I have only been able to confirm working calls using a friends att sim who did not have a data plan.I plan on testing that ASAP. Here is a link to the thread in the t989 forum. I will update as soon as I'm able to test data. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024514

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G / SGH-T769 / T-Mobile / Stock ROM / Gingerbread]
OK friend, thanks! Let's see ...
I've followed these steps on my SGH-T769
Turn off phone. Insert a SIM from another provider into your phone.
Click "DISMISS" on the Enter Unlock Code screen after the phone starts up.
Wait a minute for the phone to power on and settle down.
Go to dailer screen. press *#197328640#
The screen will change to the hidden menu as soon as you hit the last # key in the dailer
press [1]DEBUG SCREEN
Press [8]PHONE CONTROL
Press [5] SIMULATION
Press [6] NETWORK LOCK
Press [3] PERSO SHA256 OFF
Wait exactly 30 seconds
press the menu key on the phone and select back option. This will take you back to NETWORK LOCK screen.
Press [4] NW LOCK NV DATA INITIALLIZ
Wait exactly one minute and reboot the phone.
Your phone should be unlocked.

Click to collapse
The problem is that I wasn't able to get the "NW LOCK NV DATA INITIALLIZ" option in that menu.
-------------
Now, according to you:
1. I flash the SGH-T989 radio (UVLE3) (through odin, so) making a nandroid backup previously, sure.
2. Follow the previous steps (*#197328640# ...)
Doing this the phone is sim unlocked BUT with imei in zeros, and with the ability of make calls (why? If you hadn't imei!!!!!)
If it's correct let me make you some questions:
1. The imei code is lost/zeros. ¿Is possible to write a new imei with adb? Using command: adb setvar imei OR trying this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881162 with the condition that the nv_data.bin file doesn't exists in this phone (Galaxy Blaze 4G).
2. The imei code is lost/zeros. If you can make calls, the other phone services are running fine? E.g. Wifi, bluetooth, general performance, no reboots, data connection...
Is very important to me that the data plan can function!
3. According to this, ¿is this method permanent? ergo, If I perform a factory reset ¿are lost the changes made previously?
Please, contact me soon, and thank you very much!!!
Is very important to me to unlock this phone soonly!.

One thing I've learned about getting it SIM unlocked is that it doesn't persist between ROMs, and the unlock code doesn't work on any non stock-based ROM (CM11, etc)

When I've had the Blaze, after unlocking phone I've flashed Cyanogenmod, the SIM unlock persists.
