If you happened to take a nandroid backup,try restoring to that.I'm not sure whether reflashing the rom is enough to reset the counter though.

I had successfully unlocked my galaxy s using the procedure suggested on the related XDA forum.. the phone worked fine with a different network later on i accidently clicked the factory reset option.. now although the phone says its unlocked but i cannot see any network signal and the phone does not work on any sim card.
Pls can someone help
PS: I can switch on the phone and perform all other functions.
Have you tried unlocking it again using the same method? I know that's fairly obvious but if you haven't give it a try, maybe there's a file missing or something.
yes i have tried unlocking again.. no help.. i tried reinstalling the firmware and unlocking.. it doesnt work.. actually the code *#7465625# returns a result saying the phone is not locked..
turns out that the software factory reset isn't all that effective and i tried the the hard reset by entering the code *2767*3855#... it worked like a charm and this time I had the carrier signal !!!!
I bought a motorola defy, rooted it, installed CM7.1, and did a lot of things. So i have no warranty.
It asked a password for unlock the phone (that thing with imei, etc) and i trought it was the PIN code, so i tried it many times.
Now my defy is blocked by too many unlocking attempts
No places at my city can solve it.
Is there anything i can do at home to solve that? I already tried factory reset.
Phone: Motorola defy (CM 7.1)
Blocked to Vivo (brasil)
i already got the unlocking code from vivo, but its blocked by too many attempts.
if it is rooted ...
if it is rooted why you dont try to install an other rom ?
system restore? stock rom or falsh a back up of the one you have?
Was the password unlock request from CM? You may need to do a subsidy unlock on your phone if you can access the dialer.
I'm talking that unlock that you request the code using your imei code from your phone...
I'm not talking about the password you choose to avoid people to use your phone.
So, use another rom will solve to problem? i dont think it will if the factory reset didnt solve that.

The phone has to be serviced. No rom or any software update can fix it. There is a special equipment service guy hooks up the phone to to reset sim unlock counter to 0 again. And they charge money for that. You may have to ship the phone if they don't have this service in your town. After that you can enter your unlock code.

What does the phone say when you insert another sim card from another carrier

The phone (locked to fido) comes up saying.. nothing not even a notfication that an non fido sim is in the phone
as well i have not done a thing to the phone other than update it to the newest android version through LG
the phone turns on and on the lock screen says no network then say no sim card.
I recommended going back to stock froyo 2.2 and turning the phone off then put the new Sim card in and start it up and it should work. I had issues unlocking until I just flashed back to factory and then it worked like a charm. Good luck
Pin it to Win it.
would you have a guide to reverting back to stock 2.2?
I don't have the link handy but if you search for stock 2.2 rom you should be able to find it. You just flash it and unlock, then restore your rom and done like dinner.
Pin it to Win it.
nope
I am on android 2.2.2 now and still geting network unlock request unsuccessful when entering the codes and yes they are real codes and the number match up with my imei
what is going on??
I used to have this problem. A quick battery pull always solved the issue.
It doesn't happen to me anymore though.
still on going for me lots of battery pulls
Any update on this thread... Im having the same problem
Im trying to unlock my skyrocket, using an unlock code I bought but, when I insert non native sim, it does not ask for unlock code like it used to 3 months ago. I've been using it as a tablet "phone" with airplane mode on to save battery, but now it doesn't even notice a sim card is in.. Ive tried dialing: *#7465625# it well show "personalization" loading but then it force closes! Please help! Thanks
OH I also just did a factory reset... but still doesn't work
did you ever try that code, if you did and worked its unlocked forever
if you never tried the unlock code but are now, you have to be on stock firmware to enter code, then you can use a custom rom

Hi all, I think I looked everywhere for similar issue, including xda, but no luck. I got my "new" Sensation yesterday and, obviously, I wanted to have a custom rom as I do on my Desire. So I unlocked the bootloader and flashed both recovery and new rom (yes, the phone is still S-ON because I just couldn't get it to S-OFF, no matter what method I tried there was always an issue and I couldn't complete the procedure. if it's important I can explain in details what I tried/not tried). Right now it sits on CM-10.2 | AOSP 4.3 Jellybean [KANG] with 4EXT recovery. Everythin is fine however the phone is locked to O2 and I'm with T-Mobile. I tried to get the phone to S-OFF in order to remove the simlock myself but as I mentioned, no luck. So I got pissed off and I bought the unlock pin code. I've inserted my T-Mobile card, phone asked for the pin, I've entered it and boom, phone is unlocked. Great, I think to myself... well not really. One, the phone just won't get the signal (and I tried putting it to GSM mode only) and two, every time I reboot it the message to enter network pin come up . So I enter the code again and that's the end of the loop. Tried hard reset after entering the pin code but after a reboot it would still ask for the unlock pin and then won't pick up any signal. I've tried giffgaff sim card and that works straight away (as it works under O2) so it's not the phone issue (well, not the sim card port anyway).
Any ideas/solution/questions a-ny-thing would be greatly appreciated as I'm about to rage quit and give up on it .

Hi,
Could it just be the t-mob sim card?
Is there any chance to get a new one from them?

Thought that but the card works fine in my Desire. Never had any problems with it. What gets me is that constant message asking for the network pin after rebooting the phone. Surely once the code is entered the phone is unlocked ...
If I can't find any solution by monday I'll visit their shop and ask for a new sim or I'll just move my number to giffgaff >_>
Obviously if anyone has any solutions or ideas feel free to share them and I will be sure to try them. I'd really appreciate it!!
Sorry for double post
