Hello,
A friend of mine brought me the Infuse from the US. It is rooted and unlocked ( he tried it with a card different than the AT&T and had no problem), however when I insert the sim card of any of my contrie's network providers it asks for a pin and then it starts "unlocking sim". I tried leaving it for the whole night, but it didn't work, also I tried removing the sim lock for the card from a different phone, but that did not work either- there is no unlocking sim massage, but I can't call or text. What could the problem be?
Please repost in the Q&A Forum.

hello, i am having a problem unlocking my samsung captivate from the rogers network, i just bought this phone used. i put an active sim card in the phone from the mts network and power the phone on, i get an error message saying "network unlock pin number is entered incorrectly. contact your service provider. Cellphone : Samsung Galaxy S Captivate IMEI : 354182040128892
ive read all the other posts about using odin and such but that is all greek to me, and before i even try to mess with all that i was wondering if anyone had a for sure answer for me that doing all that will even fix this problem.
any and all help is really appreciated!! thanks alot
note: my friend has the same captivate, i896 on the rogers network, if i put my mts sim card in his phone it prompts me for an unlock code like it should, and if i put his fido sim card in my phone it works and makes calls as it should.
does any one have any ideas?

Got the same issue solved it by toggling airplane mode.
BTW every CM (7,9.10) have the same "unlocking sim" stuck issue with my Infuse 4g.
This phone has been working fine for ages, unlocked with sim card from several different carriers and today, none. It gives a message to enter the sim unlock code upon bootup.
Hi ,
I recently bought Vodafone Smart Ultra 6, which is obviously locked to Vodafone. I did all the start-up settings and everything was running fine. Since my actual network carrier was EE ( Orange ) I unlocked the phone, which worked alright up until the point where it suddenly the phone would lose reception and regain it at random times. I thought that since my sim was really old and cut with a template to fit the nano sim requirement, I messed something up. I didn't mind swapping carriers since I wasn't that happy with my tarrif, so I ordered GiffGaff sim, got my PAC number from EE and activated my new GiffGaff sim with my old number.
I know for a fact that the sim works, because I tried it on different device, but my phone acts like it's locked to EE after the unlocking I did from vodafone. Every sim card I insert is unrecognisable by the phone, except the old EE card which is no longer active.
I tried doing factory restore, which didn't do anything.
Dialing *#*#4636#*#* and turning the radio on and off -> still nothing
I have no other idea what to do and I can't find any solution on the internet.
My android is 5.1.1 which I read that has similar problems on different devices, but none of the solutions I found worked for me.
Any help will be much appreciated.
I am sorry if the post is confusing and doesn't make much sense :/
To summarise:
The phone was locked to Vodafone and Unlocked immediately with an EE card inside
Now the phone constantly shows NO SIM CARD - Emergency Calls Only ( tried on GiffGaff and Vodafone Sim )
No Network Connection - Can't connect ( tried on EE Orange after initially unlocking, the sim is no longer active)
Thanks in advance!
