[Q] Sim Unlock (Carrier Locked - Philippines) - Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus

Hi All -
I just got a 2nd hand P6200 but it is locked -
what i would like to know is this .. .
#1 - Will it be UNLOCKED just by installing custom rom?
#2 - Or do i still need to get the app from google play which is Galaxy Sim Unlock by Spocky?
If the option #2 is the only available or possible solution to this, will it be reverted back to sim lock if i reboot my tab or if i installed a new rom?
Because i have a Galaxy Y which was locked before i installed a custom rom.
I rooted it, installed custom rom and since then, i was able to insert different carrier's sim card without getting anymore app.
Thanks a lot

Galaxy Tab - Docomo SC-01C Unlockable?

Is the Galaxy Tab - Docomo SC-01C Unlockable?
Anyone tested it? Thank you! Will wait for replies from you guys.
yep, its Unlockable.
i bought it and up another rom, and i can use it with VN SIM
Could you teach us the steps you did for docomo users. Thanks.
i think i changed "phone" (and it changed BB) when i update rom.
compeleted, i put VN SIM and i can use it. (activated with VN SIM)
when i bought it, i activated with NTT DOCOMO SIM and install docomo service
i checked with {*#7465625#} and network Lock is OFF.
i think i can use with another sim, but i dont know how.
and i think if i update with another rom, and activated it with another sim, i can use it.
i just bought it 1 month and i dont have experience to teach you.
How to update ROM? Please teach us steps. Thanks.
Docomo galaxy tab sc-01c fake unlock
Hi Guys!
Any Ideas how to unlock my Japanese Docomo galaxy tab sc-01c device, (MoDaCo ROM) that is SoftBank carrier locked (at least, as far as I know - I'm a european, got a used galaxy tab from japan)
All the unlocking methods i found failed.
Tried Rotohammer's unlock (hexediting and code-pasting method too)
- I followed the unlock instructions listed here:
How to carrier/SIM unlock the Galaxy Tab [Updated Dec 5 2010]
Tried the "repair_nv_data.zip" method not working too - details here:
- I followed the unlock instructions listed here:
How to carrier/SIM unlock the Galaxy Tab [Updated Dec 5 2010]
I even read on a forum, that the there published unlock (can't find it / remember it now) works fine on all Galaxy Tabs,... except Docomo sc-01c devices - grrrrr
I saw this video:
Unlock Samsung Galaxy Tab, i987, T849, P1000 and P1000L
Is it working? any info on that? I seriuosly consider buying that unlock if it realy works...
-=Other info=-
I am using the MoDaCo ROM (r1-p1000-update-modacocustomrom-wipe-unsigned.zip)
installed by this tutorial:
[ROM] 04/Feb r1 - MoDaCo Custom ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Tab with Online Kitchen
The first EFS folder backup was made after the the new rooted MoDaCo ROM had been installed (is that a problem, regarding the unlockabilty?) Since than, i have been hacking those ESF files (originals are backed up of course)
When I start the device, with my SIM card inserted, it asks for PIN (ok), after that, asks for "Enter Network Lock Control Key". I tried (after the mentioned unlock procedures) to enter 00000000 and 11111111 both unsucessfull
When launch the phone app and enter the magical *#7465625# all options displayed OFF
-- I see this: --
Personalizatiob Status
- Network lock OFF
- Network subset Lock OFF
- SP Lock PFF
- CP Lock OFF
----------------
(NOTE: the word "Personalizatiob" seems wierd...)
So alltogether, everything looks like the phone is unlocked, but it is NOT.
Still asks for that bloody "Network Lock Control Key" when I insert my hungarian T-mobile or Telenor (I have 2 SIMs) SIMcard ??? WTF?
Any ideas appreciated... thx.

Sorry, but id did not work for me. I tried with Hungarian SIM / provider (by this list: http ://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code ) - Hungary - Telenor -- code 216/01
But i could not get it to lock on my provider, neither to unlock.
I previously tried the hexeditnig stuf by rotohammer, maybe that influenced the results... (see my previous posts)
I feel doomed. I have got no more idea
correction - it works, but...
correction - it works
I restored the original EFS folder, and went through the above mentioned process, and it succeeded.
I used the Hungarian Telenor code: 216/01, made the Lock, than the unlock.
The phone now can be used to make calls. works ok.
BUT
when i retart the phone, everything is los, it asks again for the unlock codes, ad i have to do the whole process again, from the begining.
At least.. it works if you never restart the phone..
hello, guys.
i'm having the same issue with anyone here who wanted to unlock their galaxy tab sc-01c from japan.
the code works successful until i reboot the phone.
there is a software named samsung tool somewhere, which can unlock any samsung devices.
anyone here has done with it?

A good and ulocked ROM - unlockers, use this!
I am the guy with the japanese Galaxy Tab. I found a - sort of - solution.
The following Acudroid ROM works fine for me. I installed it, and after booting up my tab is unlocked, I can launch phone calls fine.
I faced only one problem, that the mobile internet connection is somehow not working. It is strange, since the telephone function works ok, I can call numbers, and talk. The previous ROM I used had no problems with mobile internet connection, but I had to unlock the simcard every time when I booted up the device with that old ROM... Strange.
(Any ideas, how to make the mobile internet connection work?)
Anyway, the rom is available here:

what if the network lock is on how did you put it off

[Q] [HELP] CM10.1 on K860 problems

Hi there
Im having trouble to get CM.10.1 working on k860. What happened is i downloaded the latest cm10.1 szb file and placed it in sdfuse after backing up all my files etc. Then when i flashed the rom- The phone allows me to use it without network coverage for a minute or two, then locks it. SIM lock- and my sim code does not work to unlock it.
The Overseas firmware rom works perfectly, and enables me to do all the things.. however, i want to switch to CM. i dont want to keep using it.
I tried to install the CM10 some time ago and I had the same problem, I thought it was a baseband problem that was related to CM programming. I cant find any details on how to unlock my phone. I dont think its locked onto the carrier because the first sim i used was a chinese sim bought in beijing.
Help.

Can Xoom run without sim at all

I have had my original Xoom for a long while now - not sure exactly the version (601 rings a bell) but it was early in the very first release. ( it has 3g and wifi)
I've always had a sim card in it, however it was deactivated LONG ago, but still worked on wifi etc. My little fella uses it for simple games etc, but at some point the sim came out and we lost the little bracket thingy that it sits in - i believe that's needed right ? its been so long.
So today after numerous reboots, I simply could not get it factory reset, so I ended up following some great guides here to unlock then load the stock rom on there - I chose the Telstra AU version for 601 as it was the only version that sounded right for me.
That all went great and easy, however, without a sim, on startup im getting the "Tablet is not provisioned ... " error, and there is no way to unlock it.
So a number of questions - will stock rom simply not work at all without a sim ? I tried to 'fastboot oem unlock' and boot up like that to no avail.
If it won't work without a sim, is there a quick and dirty custom rom that is stupidly easy to install ? I like how easy it was to load the stock rom - if there is something like that great, otherwise the instructions i've seen for custom roms seem a little too much for my time.
Any pointers appreciated - i just need to get it back to usable for a 7 year old with games - it would be nice to install custom rom with latest android so that he can play some of the newer games, but not if its tricky and will take too much of my time - in that case i'm happy to just use stock if i can get it working without sim.
please can anyone at least advise whether this tablet with stock rom should work or not without a SIM ? (obviously 3G version AU)

The xoom 3G+wifi work perfectly with or without sim card.
OK

SIM 2 Locked after Custom ROM

Hi! My Second SIM Slot got locked up after installing a custom ROM. Is there a way to keep the second SIM Unlocked, I tried changing the CSC to the default one and it's still the SIM. BTW I got mine from Smart here in the Philippines.
If the second SIM is important, I'd go back to the working setup, until I researched a working, DS Exynos (?) ROM.
Why don't you install the original ROM, that supports Dual SIM capabilities?
Try that and see if it works.

930FD Dual Sim Network Lock

Hi, my phone is currently locked to carrier smart. Before flashing my first rom, as long as I had 1 smart sim card on any sim slot, the other one can read any other carrier. After flashing rom, if I insert 1 smart sim and another one from a different carrier, I get the network lock notification. It works fine though if I just use 1 smart sim only, or smart sim for both sim slots.
Any ideas on how to revert this? Or are there any unlocking apps I can try for free? Thanks!
Got that same phone few days ago, and as far as my knowledge goes the F and FD version shouldn't be network locked as they ship world wide (international model with exynos chip). From what you saying, its after you flashed the ROM you got the second card locked, so my first question would be what ROM have you installed ? and can you link me to it. 2nd idea or question.. Did you flash the FD ROM or the F one? the F is a single sim version, it does have the second slot in there actually but its disabled or locked, so it might be that the 2nd slot is disabled or something. 3rd, have you tried other ROMs ? or even stock firmware, you can confirm if the ROM is the issue.
And my advice is to not try the apps, most of them are either outdated that only work with exploits in old android versions, or a complete scam. Waiting for your reply.
Hi Salazar, thanks for answering! I already forgot what rom it was - that was about 6 months ago. I remember then I had a backup of my EFS and baseband using TWRP. I remember restoring those when I first encountered the problem - that's how I got my 2nd sim slot working again. Problem is I've already lost that backup, and when i reformatted my phone yesterday, the 2nd sim slot wouldnt work anymore. Just tried flashing a number of custom and stock roms earlier today - problem still persists. If you happen to have the same device (G930FD) - mind sharing your TWRP backup for baseband and EFS?
