I own an LG-e612f android cellular telephone that I bought from Telcel in Mexico. I have not been able to unlock it. I have the unlocking code for it but everytime I attempt to open the phone for it to ask me for an unlocking code it goes into an "emergency use only" spot.
I have had several companies try to unlock it and they have not been successful. I was referred to your page by cellunlocker.net. I bought the unlocking code from them and have followed their instructions to no avail. Need someone that can help me.

The problem with Telcel Mexico is they have on their phones a locked firmware also,that does not allow you to insert the unlock code.You have to flash a different firmware on the phone then will be able to insert the unlock code

Hi!
I had a Samsung Galaxy Ace and following a little tutorial in youtube i get the unlock code for network...
Here i leave the link to the tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsLANiBftec
This tutorial it's no mine.
Now, i bought an Xperia Miro (Mesona) and i need to unlock the network too.
Somebody know how can i get this code from this device with ADB or something like that?
Sorry for the video language, im from mexico and i speak spanish.
You cant unlock Xperias for free as the sim lock certificate is locked away in the bootloader. You can pay for an unlock code fron many websites
I don't understand, there are some ROMs which have Unlocked Bootloader... So, why is this not possible ?

The problem is that my cellphone have the bootloader locked, in the service menu says: "Bootloader Unlock: NO" and i read about it, but "ST23a" doesn't have any way to unlock bootloader.
If I insert a different SIM, phone requests a network unlock code. I found a program to calculate the code but unfortunately is in a host where you have to fill a survey to download the file.
I don't know if that program works but it's impossible download it without register your cellphone number in a "phone club".
I know that there are some pages where i can pay to unlock my phone, but all are so expensive.
If you know a page where i can get the code without pay more than 30 euros, please let me know.

Hello, I just bought an Alcatel Onetouch idol 3, from my Romanian provider(Vodafone), as I saw in other threads over here, everyone's talking about sim unlocking on websites, but my question is..
Is there any way to unlock the sim via bootloader, or flashing another firmware ?
Thank you
I also tought of the next way:
Unlock bootloader via WinDroid, gain the supercid, then use the windows update utillity to make an firmware update to an unlocked firmware
What you think ?

No one has reported on this forum to my knowledge a successful sim unlocking from a provider purchased idol 3. Here in USA it comes out unlocked from Amazon. I think you are confusing bootloader and sim unlock because I know of no "firmware" method of sim unlocking short of having the unlock code....although I certainly could be wrong Since you have only so many tries the best method is get your provider to give you the unlock code. Here in the USA you can get one from your provider if your account is in good standing and it's been 90 days since your last request. Most folks tell them they are going overseas and want to be able to use the phone....something similar might work for you?.
I went to my provider, and checked it there, the unlocking code was 60e, because the contract was still available, anyway..
I went to a GSM, and the guy took me 10e to unlock it xD
Sooo,
I bought a used vodafone moto g 1st gen naively expecting to have an easy sim-unlock available in the forums - maybe I haven't found it yet?
The online unlock code vendors I tried have refunded me saying they can't do my IMEI so I'm a bit stuck.
I flashed cyanogen hoping a new kernel would do the magic but I guess the simlock is in a different partition?
I see that a couple years ago http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2903823 some were considering how the sim unlock modified the utag partitions. Does anyone know of further progress, information or solutions to sim unlock a moto g?
Or has anyone found a vendor that has successfully provided a UK vodafone sim unlock code?
P.S. Will I need to revert to the stock rom and kernel to use a sim unlock code?
The official Vodafone UK unlock service should work: https://www.vodafone.co.uk/vodafone-uk/forms/unlock-code-request/
Thanks Professor Gibbins.
Unfortunately the Vodafone unlock process asks for the vodafone number that has been used with the phone. Perhaps it would work if I got a pay-as-you go SIM from them and then provided that number.
Fortunately I tried paying a third unlock code vendor - sim-unlock*.net - waited a couple days and they came through with a valid code. I had started with the cheapest ebay vendors, so maybe they just weren't legit?
In any case, if someone else is in similar circumstances, here's what I learned:
There doesn't seem to be any other solution for sim unlocking the moto G xt1032 than purchasing an unlock code from an online vendor or, in the case of you being the original owner, from the network you purchased the phone from
Having a couple online vendors say they cannot get you the code does not mean another cannot
Neither unlocking the bootloader, installing a different recovery (TWRP), nor flashing a Cyanogen ROM will help Sim unlock the phone
The code provided by the online vendor did not work when I had Cyanogen installed. Fortunately I had created a backup of the vodafone ROM (using TWRP) and restoring their android version/kernel allowed the code purchased online to sim unlock the phone
Finally, the SIM unlock done in the vodafone system was maintained after restoring my Cyanogen install. I hope this means the sim/network lock will not return. It might perhaps resurface if I did a system restore; hopefully then the same unlock code would work again?

Once the unlock is done via an UNLOCK CODE, or via hardware unlocking tools, then it is permanent, so you shouldn't need to worry about this at all, but that said, in case you experience SIM un-/lock issues, then reuse the code when trying to unlock the phone on an OEM-DISTRIBUTED ROM (stock ROM).
I have the unlock codes.
How do I get the phone to request an unlock code/get to the unlock menu?
I am not in america so uicc unlock is not an option?
Can I possibly flash another rom to help the process?
Thanks

I would appreciate the help with my boost stylo2.
I can't speak for your particular carrier, but with T-Mobile, you put a SIM card in from another carrier and it immediately, upon boot completion, asks for an unlock code. Put in the unlock code and viola(!), you're golden!
Hope it helps for your situation.
Please How can I unlock my Samsung S8+ Locked with Xfinity Mobile to any Carrier. Has anybody done it before and successful. Thank you

If you mean sim unlock,all I did was call and ask for the unlock code,as long as your account is in good standing,shouldn't be an issue.

I sent them a text msg asking for it. 3 days later arrived in my email
Unlocking Xfinity S8+
Your post says they gave you the code in response to a text. Did you already have the OEM unlock opition visible in dev options? I don't even have the prompt... I wiped cache part and did factory reset, as someone suggested, but it did not appear after that (contrary to what this person said they'd experienced). So, did you unlock with some specific dial code? or did your settings>dev options have an OEM unlock prompt?

You have confused SIM (carrier) unlock with bootloader unlock. You can not unlock the bootloader on any US (snapdragon) version of the S8 and S8+.
On the other hand, you can SIM unlock with the code that Xfinity Mobile gave you. Turn off the phone, and replace the XM SIM with one from a different carrier. Boot the phone, and your device will ask for SIM unlock code.

Hi, and about the z3x Samsung tool, is possible to unlock with that program?
I know its more complicated, i have been searching and reading and found that.
I try a unlock code without success, now ask me the puk code , and the company refund my money.
And now what's my chances to unlock it?

I'm not familiar with the Z3X tool. If you're trying to carrier/SIM unlock your device, your best and possibly only option is to get your carrier to unlock it.
If you are trying to unlock your bootloader, it's not possible.

The carrier ask me 20% of retail price its madness.
I will search a little more.

I think Xfinity is CDMA, so this is the only viable option you have.
