I have LG nitro HD locked to AT&T, I have cyanogenmod ROM. I do have unlock code.
I'm trying to carrier unlock, but when I insert "not accepted" SIM card it doesn't ask for unlock code.
So I try the other method - dial 2945#*930# and nothing happens.
What can I do?

it's the cyanogen rom for sure, I don't think lg would know..
from what I have seen on my phone and other phones if you are using CM7/CM9 or possibly other custom roms that are not based on the stock rom you will not be able to use some of the dialer codes. that could be the reason you are not able to unlock the phone. you will need to flash a stock rom and unlock the phone. then you can go back to your rom and have the phone unlocked

yea thats what i did, thanks
i wish those codes would work on custom roms, like CM
Hi smashcz, did you flash a stock ROM, then you are able to unlock the phone? i have exactly some problem, without unlock, i did my flash.
so first question, there is no other way can unlock after flash a new ROM? second, where did you get "Sotck ROM"? from LG website or from backup? i did backup before flash, could i restore it?

It will work with any rom and it is permanent.

Unlock the phone by putting in a non T-Mobile sim and turning on the phone. The code entry box will appear. Unlock it now before flashing a custom roms. Most customs roms don't have the necessary code to perform the unlock. But once you have unlocked it you never have to do it again no matter what rom you flash.
Hi
I bought D2G from ebay it was listed with bad esn.It's not asking unlock code or anything, reads the sim card, changes to global mode, connects to a network(jumps from one to another all the time) but no service when I try to dial a number says network not available. So what is wrong with my phone? is it unlock?something is wrong wit the radio? or what?
If it is not asking for network subsidy code, then it must be unlocked if it works with your sim. Make sure it is set to GSM/UMTS mode, not Global - if your sim is active you should get reception. At least on 2G (GSM). If you are not getting reception, something might be wrong with the phone.
It might also be running a custom ROM (unlock requests only work on Blurry ROMs afaik); another possibility is former owner going to the “hidden” menu and choosing “USA Band”.
In the latter case, you need to SBF.
thanks Gasai Yuno custom rom was the problem now it's on stock rom and is asking for unlock code. I'll try to unlock it thanks again

Good catch! I wouldn't thought somebody would sell their phone without bringing it factory default first..
Good luck to OP with the unlock codes - hopefully your phone won't turn out to be from those Verizon played with..

Ask much as I understand. it stop asking for unlock code because of Custom Rom. I have the same problem. What should I do to be able to enter unlock code with Custom Rom?

Flash the stock ROM.
I try to flash stock rom (kdz extension) but it doesn't work because my boot recovery is not stock recovery. What should I do to remove CWM recovery for my phone model LG Optimus G E973?

Ask in correct forum, this for Motorola's droid 2 global phone, instructions will be different.

I received an unlock code from AT&T for my One XL. The unlock code comes up as unsuccessful. I followed the unlock instructions exactly. And I've called back and verified that AT&T has the correct IMEI and double checked the unlock code. I've never had an issue unlocking a phone before.
I contacted HTC. They tell me to contact AT&T, as "they're the ones who have the unlock codes." AT&T tells me to contact HTC.
Would running CM 10 have any effect on my attempt to enter the carrier unlock?

Yes, SIM unlock codes only work on Sense ROMs, for some reason. Switch to a Sense ROM, and you should be able to unlock just fine. Then you can go back to CM10.

Do I have to go back to a stock ROM? Or just any Sense-based ROM from "HTC One X Android Development."
Would you know of a guide? I can't even recall which stock Rom I was running prior to unlocking the bootloader and going to CM10.
You don't even have a backup? Any sense rom is fine. They all have instructions that are easy for anyone to follow.

Restored a backup from 9/2. I forgot I even had it, as I didn't intend to go back to it. Unlock worked. Thanks all!
yupp sense ROM is the key
I believe I got the unlock code for my One S while it was stock/rooted, but Im on a custom rom and was wanting to switch carriers to an ATT MNVO.
Can I just pop the new sim in and it will prompt me for the sim unlock code on the custom rom Im running right now? Its with 2.16 hboot using the Viper Rom / Sense 5. Or will I need to do a complete reset of the phone to bring it back to stock first?
Thanks
As far as I know, it's best to unlock your device on a stock rom. Once it's unlocked you won't need to do it a second time since it's permanent.
I had some trouble unlocking my device on different custom roms, just as i went back to a rooted stock rom the unlock worked.

Hi,
I need to unlock my device and my guess is I need to go back to Stock for the Tmobile Unlock App to work (does this even work in the first place?). So my question is has anyone used this successfully and also rooted/flashed another ROM after the unlock and it stayed unlocked?
If there are things I need to avoid after a successful unlock, please let me know that as well.
Thanks!
interesting
Well I know my N5 is unlocked under stock rom. After flashing a custom rom I lose the unlock. I've posted in other threads about this but there has not been a good answer other then getting an unlock code which I don't know how you would for tmo. But flashing an intl custom rom will let you get to the menu to enter the code to unlock. The question though is how and where would you get an actual numerical unlock code for a tmo device? Cellunlocker and a couple others I've contacted are not able to get an actual code to use for the tmo N5.

Thanks for the response. Yeah, my phone needs to get unlocked cause I'm moving to Japan and I rather unlock it than buy a new phone...until the Note 8 comes out.
I tried to Odin back to stock, but I get a DRK fail so I can't lol
