Bought Unlock code!

Okay, So I finally bought an unlock code.. Only to find out when I put in a non accepted sim card, it doesn't ask for the password.. How can I type that passcode in??? Thanks!

I guess then that means its already unlocked.. When u put in a different Sim card does it connect to Internet is it working on it?

Does the non accepted sim register? Are you on a stock rom?

You have to be on a stock-based gingerbread ROM.

Stock ICS works as well. Was on Skyics had to revert back to stock for it to prompt the code requisition screen. All is well now. On a different note if on att in good account standing call and have them open a case number requesting for imei based unlock code even if they tell you code not availabile. Can get it free of cost.

If I recall correctly, when you put in a sim from another carrier and boot the phone, it will give you a message indicating it is locked and give you the option to enter the unlock code.
Good luck!

If one was wanting Tmobile, wouldn't you have to flash the modem? My phone is also unlocked but don't have a sim card to test it on tmobile

Correct, it's Peronalization.apk that handles the prompts.
Can also bring up the prompt with #7465625*638*#

you cant unlock sim by rooting
you can unlock sim by buying code on ebay for $0.99 though, if your phone has at&t logo on it.

Rooting and Sim unlock are unrelated to each other. You need to purchase a sim unlock code (or go through AT&T) to unlock the GSM carrier.

That sucks...for a HTC inspire phone, i was able to unlock and root at the same go using the software from xda

You mean root and unlock.... the bootloader?
Totally different "unlocking" of the phone.
As souljaboy & moofree said, the subsidy (carrier, SIM, whatever) unlock is only through the carrier (like AT&T) or buying a code online..
Sent from my phone's mind

As alteredlikeness told you there are different kind of unlocks
1) Sim Unlock: so that you can use any sim card, you can get the code from the network provider that you bought the mobile from, alternatively you can get the code at ebay or any other local sim unlock experts, I assume you are from India, like here in Hyderabad there are few in Jagdish Market, only few of them are legit like Metro Mobiles.
Then there is the dreaded 2) Bootloader and it's unlocking: With which we can flash (install) custom kernels and thus CyanogenMods, MIUIs, AOKPs and all..
and I humbly let you know that, if you are talking about Sim unlock procedures, this is not the place to come, XDA is all about mods, ROMs, Bricks(!) and everything in between.
and if you are talking about Bootloader unlock, unfortunately the hard working devs here have not found a way yet to unlock it, really hope that they will eventually prevail.
and either way, just merely rooting doesn't unlock anything, either network lock or bootloader, rooting is a process where you get superuser access.. which is kind of Admin access to your Windows OS, which is required to install few apps and also to dig down into the android OS.
Thanks for listening! have a great day.

Network Unlock XT925 - Rogers

Hey Everyone,
I am trying to get my phone unlocked and used the service of cellunlocker to get the unlock code. The code didnt worked though. Can someone suggest me a service to get the working unlock code. My phone is currently locked to rogers.

Make sure you use a foreign SIM card when unlocking, I tried the unlock code with my Rogers SIM in and it have me errors also.

Aha.. yeah.. that should be the problem. I was trying to enter the code with rogers sim inside.
Will try to re-enter it with foreign sim tommorow and will update. Thanks danifunker.

I had an unlock code from them. The actually unlock code is one of the 8 digit blocks in the middle of the code they sent you. The unlock code is only numbers, no letters.

The unlock code should be one of the 8 digit groups you noted. If they don't work, contact the seller.

Verizon s3 sch-i535 is already unlocked
Verizon s3 sch-i535 is already unlocked. You just have to go to Settings>more settings>mobile networks>network mode and select gsm/umts.

I've done that but still nothing.

If your speaking of bootloader unlocked it's not possible. Sim unlocked is a different story.
The newest 4.4.2 NE1 update is locked down and you will not be able to unlock the bootloader

You're asking about it being sim unlocked. As stated it is already unlocked. You'll need a sim card from your carrier, not Verizon. Then add your carriers APN settings which should be simple enough to find, just Google it. Use the global mode, not GSM/umts. You'll get an annoying persistent notification saying unrecognized sim or something like that but it doesn't affect anything. Hope this helps
