I bought a motorola defy, rooted it, installed CM7.1, and did a lot of things. So i have no warranty.
It asked a password for unlock the phone (that thing with imei, etc) and i trought it was the PIN code, so i tried it many times.
Now my defy is blocked by too many unlocking attempts
No places at my city can solve it.
Is there anything i can do at home to solve that? I already tried factory reset.
Phone: Motorola defy (CM 7.1)
Blocked to Vivo (brasil)
i already got the unlocking code from vivo, but its blocked by too many attempts.
if it is rooted ...
if it is rooted why you dont try to install an other rom ?
system restore? stock rom or falsh a back up of the one you have?
Was the password unlock request from CM? You may need to do a subsidy unlock on your phone if you can access the dialer.
I'm talking that unlock that you request the code using your imei code from your phone...
I'm not talking about the password you choose to avoid people to use your phone.
So, use another rom will solve to problem? i dont think it will if the factory reset didnt solve that.

The phone has to be serviced. No rom or any software update can fix it. There is a special equipment service guy hooks up the phone to to reset sim unlock counter to 0 again. And they charge money for that. You may have to ship the phone if they don't have this service in your town. After that you can enter your unlock code.

oh, thank you
For my bad luck vodafone smart 2:
Initially got SIM unlock code from vodafone, used that code to unlock my phone (smart 2) successfully. Later the phone had system crash problem, sent it to repair, engineer reload the whole system and fixed the system crash. But the phone is locked again. Tried the unlock code again, it is not working any more.
The code is also confirmed by vodafone as correct.
Does anyone here know what is going on with the phone. What I need to do to unlock the phone...
Thank you
Jason

No one has any idea about it???
My sgh-i927r got sim locked for the second time. Earlier i got it repaired at a shop...
It keeps on asking "ENTER NETWORK LOCK CONTROL KEY"
This time I deleted 'nv_data.bin' and '.nv_data.bak' files from 'efs' folder as suggested on a post here at XDA.
This unlocked the phone but due to the generic IMEI i still cannot use calls, but the packet data is working fine.
When i replace the backed up files in 'efs' folder the phone again gets locked...
Is there any other way of unlocking it with the original IMEI no.??
As far I'm aware the original IMEI is now obsolete as far as unlocking the phone is concerned.
We only unlock phones using codes so unfortunately I can't really help with the rest of your post.
I've thought about it for a while and decided to share the experience.
DO NOT flash Magisk for root access on Mediapad x2.
I was on B206 stock and decided to use Magisk for a change. I flashed Magisk v.16.0 in TWRP. When I first booted up, I encountered a SIM NCK unlock situation, which required me to input an NCK unlock code. I chose ignore and still booted into the system, but my phone didn't connect to any phone service. It was only good for emergency call. I turned on and off sim card service couple of times, suddenly everything worked.
It was only after that I found out I had only one set of IMEI left. Now the IMEI serial numbers become#1: normal IMEI and #2: 00000000000.
The Magisk cost me one set of IMEI. I googled and googled, and found out other two cases like me. Smeone also owned a huawei device, flashed Magisk, and encountered NCK unlock and lost their IMEI,
I have no way to recover my 2nd IMEI. I didn't keep my phone package. I don't know the 2nd IMEI numbers. HCU repair tools requires you to have your own IMEI so you can key in during the repairing process.
Anyway, my phone still works. Just only one set of IMEI left. That makes it soft bricked and becomes a single sim card device.
Word of experience: don't try Magisk on mediapad x2 unless you have your IMEI backup before trying.
Hey there! I'm here to back this story up. I tried to Flash Magisk on B206, but I lost my IMEI as well. Connecting it to the computer still shows the IMEI1, but in the settings is shows 0000000000.
On top of that, I had to deal with a sudden SIM lock. This was fixed using DC unlocker and paying 4e for them to Sim unlock it.
I tried returning to a backup, to the original stock Rom, but nothing recovered it.
Good for others to be aware of this issue!

Hi, I am curious. How do you connect to computer and show your IMEI? I don't even know what my second IMEI is. It would be nice to know if I can see it in the computer.

I would not get you hopes up. With a problem called HCU client I was able to show my IMEI on the PC with my phone connected in manufacturing mode. For restoring/editing anything an account is required, but you can shoe it there. I don't know for sure about DC unlocker.
hey there. i feel you. also did this and lost my imei. funny enough theres only one imei on the box. hcu can still detect that one so you should try reading your phone info with that tool. also tried everything.
i luckily today found some nvram partition backups and am trying to restore them. will report back...
Not sure if this is what you guys are trying to achieve, but both of your IMEI numbers can be seen if you go to Settings -> About Phone. It's as simple as that but again not sure if this is what you guys are trying to accomplish.
Please use the QUOTE feature when replying to me to get my attention. Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I am seriously thinking about buying credit and salvaging my 2nd IMEI. It still runs without any problem with only one set though.

Nope. The about phone section only shows correct IMEIs when the nvram partition is still intact. In our case, it's ruined.
Okay, guys. So here comes the update. I bought 8 credits and gave hcu client a try. Unfortunately, it still couldn't identify my 2nd IMEI. I think it's just gone. However, I remembered I once posted a screenshot of my about phone when I was making a tutorial about downgrading. I still keep that screenshot in one of my folders on PC. I located that screenshot and found my second IMEI. I used HCU client to write my IMEI back. So now my phone is all back. That's amazing.
I can now confirm that HCU client works but you have to have your IMEI numbers at hand.
** you need to flash back to STOCK RECOVERY before you start the process. This is very important. **
By the way, I am not sure if this is okay to do so. (I mean I am not sure if it's violating any regulations.) But before I could find my 2nd IMEI, I was thinking about using a backup phone's IMEI if it was necessary. I am not gonna use the old phone anyway. Luckily, I found the right one.
Did you try this?

Hi, somehow the dc-unlocker cannot detect my Mediapad x2. I am sure all of the drivers are installed. But HCU client works for me.

I lost both my IMEI's as well but I'm not sure if my Sims work because I don't have a working one that I can put in the X2. I did retrieve one of my IMEI's from my Google Account history.
If you can't find your IMEI numbers, pull off the bottom plastic cover on your phone (just use your nail and pry it off) your IMEI numbers are in a sticker underneath it.
i bought a 2nd phone. then it no registered to network (malaysia). i guess it was imei lock. any posible to unlock??
