I put cyanogenmod 10 on my HTC One S.
I sent the phone to my cousin in DR (Dominican Republic) upon arrival we realized I made a big mistake. I didn't SIM unlock the phone.
I went online and found a website that does it for cheap: Cellunlocker.net
I got the code, sent it to my cousin, and he told me "it's not working".
I then looked on here (XDA) and found a "do it yourself method" for unlocking the SIM. Basically you input a command in Superuser and the phone gives you a number. You take that number and the IMEI number and you can calculate the SIM unlock code based on those numbers.
We ended up getting the same number that Cellunlocker.net sent us.
Could it be that Cyanogenmod is blocking my cousin from unlocking the phone?
PS. I have a video of my cousin unlocking the device (and failing) here: http://www.bodyctrl.com/stuff/unlock1.MOV
On the SIM unlock thread they mention it might not work if you're not on a sense rom. But you only need to be on a sense rom until you're unlocked and then you can go back to whatever you want.

just flash a stock rom on the phone, stock odex/deodex use unlock code then once done flash back to CM10.
SUCCESS!
This issue was resolved.
I installed a Sense Based ROM and performed a SIM Unlock on the device. The device then rebooted.
I then installed CM 10.
Device works perfectly fine now on any network of my choice.

I tried the same but didn't work. What Sense based ROM did you install?

I used the stock Sense (4.1) that shipped with the phone (after rooting) to do the sim unlock. Custom roms based on sense may have their own problems.

Have you tried the first step of ordering an unlock code yet? I'm unsure why this didn't work for the OP but if you continue to have issues, I'd suggest it.

Ahh. Might be just that. I tried ViperDroid and didn't work. The problem is that I didn't backup my shipped rom (shame on me), is there any way I can workaround this (e.g. is there any stock rom for me to download)?

Since the code I got from sim unlock procedure didn't work, I ordered a code. I ended up wit the same code.

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?

I have a One S that I rooted and put an AOKP Jelly Bean ROM (device_ville_jb-build-1) on it. I'm trying to SIM unlock it to go to AT&T and the SIM unlock code I got from t-mobile isn't working.
What do I have to do? Do I have to flash back stock for the code to work? And, if I do, will the SIM unlock still be applied if I flash back to my awesome AOKP ROM?
Any help appreciated!
I happened to be in the same situation. You just need to install a stock ROM, such as TrickDroid, and insert the code again. It should work.

What do you mean by "stock ROM?" I tried to install both versions of TrickDroid on here and neither would install. Keep getting an error 1 or whatever it is.
By "stock ROM", do you mean an ICS rom or what?
Then flash the ruu

i had the same problem as well... even after going back to stock ruu i still cant seem to unlock my phone... keeps saying "incorrect password"...

Hey, did you ever find an answer? Same issue with a One X on AT&T.
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!

Hi I have a samsung t959v and I flash Team Acid Cyanogenmod 7.2 but when I put my simcard and put my simcard password it never get unlocked. There is a solution for that?
you cant do that anymore unlocking a phone has became illegal
http://gizmodo.com/5978982/unlocking-your-phone-is-illegal-starting-tomorrow
but there was a petition hope we win :fingers-crossed:
He doesn't want to unlock the phone, he's got a lock code on his sim card. I believe that none of the MTD roms we have (cm7, ics, jb) had the ability to unlock your sim, so you should flash back to stock, remove the sim passcode and then flash the MTD rom again.

Read that article that you linked. It's only illegal if the phone was purchased on or after Jan. 26th. Even then if you unlock it do you really think your carrier will begin legal actions against you?
OP
Where did you get the lock code? Unlocking these phones generally requires you to be on a stock based ROM. I believe some have had success unlocking from other ROMs but I'd flash back to stock then enter the code then reflash CM7.

Like they said above, Do a full Nandroid backup, flash to stock, unlock, flash to
CM7, then restore your nandroid backup.
Shouldn't take more than 30 minutes. I hope this will help

I wonder who is going to enforce this law? It would be funny if a cop came to your house and arrested you for breaking this stupid law, on a phone that you bought and paid for in full.

I purchased LG G2 D800 (32gb) locked to AT&T network. I wanted to unlock it with a code and tried various webstites - 3 of them replied that they cannot offer any support, 2 emailed me back with an unlock code. Codes from those 2 different websites were the same, however it did not work - I now have the last attempt left to unlock it. I tried through one of the 'shops' as well, but they couldn't help either. Can you please advise if you have a reliable way of unlocking or obtaining a code for unlocking? Is there any other way to unlock this phone? Maybe at least a way of bringing the count of tries back to 1? I also tried ringing AT&T but they could not help, as I did not have an account with them - I'm stuck.
Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have,
PLEASE HELP!:crying:
hi guys, I still waiting for your answer... Please help me!:crying:

Thanks a lot for the advice. My phone wasn't rooted (I checked with an app) so I think its runs original rom (and it's Android 4.4.2), Baseband Version M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190082 Kernel Version 3.4.0 Build Number: KOT49I.D80020c Software Version D80020c
I have the last try (10 out of 10) to put a correct unlock code. Have you got any other suggestions? Do you know how to change the number of attempts of unlock back to 1? Thanks

I would honestly say flash a completely stock rom...go back to square 1 with it. find the AT&T stock image. flash it back thru the LG program. then try again with the unlock code. its possible the previous owner just flashed a stock ROM to the phone. does it have stock recovery on the phone or CWM or TWRP?

if you have'nt unlocked it yet try this ste i got it done for $1.9 the cheapest ever http://www.unlockcode247.com
Apologies for not writing back sooner. I only have 1 attempt left to put the code in, so I am reluctant to try another website, since 2 did not work.
I am worried I will lock the phone indifinitely. Does anybody know how to bring the count back to 1, so it was showing attempt 1 out of 10 for putting the sim lock code in? Thanks
