Hi there,
I have a Tesco 1st Gen Moto G and I recently upgraded to Lollipop.
It works fine now, but after getting a new Sim Card, when I put it in, I get the Sim Lock Code message. I've previously unlocked the phone and I'm unsure whether it is a Network lock (Like Tesco lock) that has somehow came back after the flash - Or if it's a lock that I have put on the phone. (Would that carry over after flash?)
So confused right now and I only have one attempt left before I'm locked out.
Please help. You're my only hope.
Sounds to me like a sim lock. I have flashed ROMs onto many different phones and the security lock from one ROM has never carried over to the new ROM.

Thanks mate. Much appreciated.
I've tried three different suppliers.
Each have said that my phone is not on the database.
(I'm assuming it is unlocked?)
Did you get the imei # by using the dial pad?
Yeah man - On all three occasions the vendor had to reimburse me.
I genuinely don't get it - but I've even tried resetting my PIN with my PUK and even that won't let me edit it.

I was not able to sim unlock my phone few months ago. Then I flashed a new ROM and with the same code it worked.
Can you flash a lollipop ROM and try ?

So you put the same unlock code into the phone that previously had unlocked it?

I explain with more details. In december, I had a new sim from a new provider. I tried the unlock code my former one gave me. It didn t work. Then I contacted 3 different merchant on eBay. My phone was also not found. But after a few days each time, they sent me a code. The 3 merchants gave me the same code I already had !
See this video : Unlock SIM Codes not working on Moto G first Gen …*: http://youtu.be/i883Nk6LuZE
At this time I was on DU ROM (KitKat).
One day I was deseperated ^^, I flashed CR Droid ROM (lollipop)... And with the same code, I unlocked my phone.
It was a soft problem. That s why I told you to try with another ROM (full wipe)
Maybe you will be lucky as me.

Hmmm - This is interesting. I've not got the original code that I got when I first unlocked it - And each vendor I bought from said my IMEI was not in the database.
Gutted.
So you think I should flash the rom?
A shame you don t have the original code... Not sure flashing a new ROM will solve your problem (but you have nothing to loose).
I know a guy on eBay very efficient who sales code for 2 bucks. Do you want his contact ?

I think many people have asked about this but I recently got a Droid 2 Global from a friend and I recently rooted the stock ROM, I noticed a thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345071
I was wondering would that work for a stock Droid 2 Global?
Or could anyone help in providing me the steps to be able to unlock my Droid 2 Global for T-Mobile if it's even possible..
System Version: 4.5.608.A956.Verizon.en.US
Model Number Droid2 Global
Android Version 2.3.3
Baseband Version : N_01.80.00R
Kernal Version : 2.6.32.9-gb92e69
Build Number: 4.5.1_57_D2G-38
You need to perform the SIM unlock first.
Afterwards, follow the instructions in the thread you linked. That's all.

There's a very small chance that you might obtain the correct unlock code from various online unlocking services. Sometimes it happens. Most of the time, it doesn't.

Look for eBay listings for unlock codes from a user named "Unlock_Fusion".
I paid $6 for a D2G unlock code and the code worked. I've tested both an AT&T and T-Mobile SIM with success. (of course, I applied the band unlock that was posted earlier in this thread)

Thanks for the recommendation.
hey guys,
my first post here although i've been reading xda for years when searching stuff. great forum, great guys
so here is my problem: i have an I9105PXXAMC1 bought months ago from t-mobile austria in wien, has stock firmware 4.1.2 and it seems that it is network locked. from my little knowledge i guess that it isn't that hard to reset this, is just something like a file somewhere in the android os system? i've seen apps on google play claiming that they can network unlock but i guess they need a rooted device.. but: this is just my feeling about things, maybe i'm wrong, so, please, i need your help:
what should i do in the simplest way to network unlock this phone? i've read threads listing firmwares, there are also rooting guides but i see many differences based on the exact baseband version of the phone and now i actually don't know what should i do.
do i need to root the phone? what's the right guide for this baseband version?
if i do it is there a way to get back to stock version in the unfortunate case that the phone has issues and i have to send it back to warranty?
please, someone give me a head start
thanks much!

thanks, if i understood things well, after flashing a prerooted firmware, i can simunlock the device with some techniques/apps, right?
or the safest is just to buy a network unlock code from the internet?

edit:
ok, just saw your edit.. so only the unlock code will work? how come? why those from 'seitengassenjugoshop' (i guess you meant those little mobile shops where they do repairs, decode, etc) can do it without the code? or they buy this code also?
if code is only solution: where should i buy it? i don't trust those websites and they also don't seem very cheap.
I dont know how it is with our device but i had the same problem with the htc desire c from my little brother and after i unlocked bootloader flashed cwm, a custom Firmware and rooted it the simlock was gone.
He had t-mobile lock as well.

ok, so you are saying to first start with this prerooted firmware you've linked me, try eventually some simunlock apps and if it doesn't work try CWM's way with some firmware like cyanogenmod?
i guess that would void warranty in an irreversible way, or there are ways around it?
i've done it with CWM then tried many custom firmwares on my i9300 months ago, i guess i can manage to work my way through that. currently running CM 10.2 that just got in few days ago for i9300. the only thing is not to brick this i9105p, it's not mine, it's a friend's
U can reset binary counter with triangle away from chainfire.
So warranty is back
Sent from my GT-I9105P using xda app-developers app
ok, so i've tried many things, now trying stuff with CM10.1, but still no luck.. well, i guess that buying the code is the only solution for this phone?
i've also read about http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731931 method but can't find that nv_data.bin file anywhere in my /efs!
actually, all the files in /efs are very small and seem of no use.. what's wrong with those i9105p phones?
anyway: does anybody know a good trustworthy source for buying a code? of course, at the most reasonable price possible.

hey guys i just bought my indian version of moto g and yeah i too had this problem!! but i resolved it now my bootloader is unlocked. the site is a perfect working unlocker but the thing is u may have signed into motorola device id option under settings menu. go there unlink ur account and try in the site again. the signing in from device disallows this unlocking thing. but if u unlink the account i am sure u can unlock ur bootloader!!
I signed in with the google account on the device and it worked. :fingers-crossed:

Just sit and wait... Hopefully a developer will find an exploit allowing us at least to root it (Like they did on the Moto X)... Or not... I am quite
The Motorola support forums has a thread up dealing with the issue.
Maybe try there.

Go to Motorola's site and order a Developer Edition phone (Maxx or X).
Right now that is the only way to get an unlock, in any form.

Okay. Well, someone (I forget who), told me that jcase would have a new exploit released in the summer... I mean... SOMEONE out there has to figure it out sooner or later.
Don't get too excited. Jcase method is not persistent and doesn't set WP off. Simply a temp root, not an unlock.

What do you mean the code spl? The codes seemed to just stop being shipped out and lots of people ended up not getting them in time, but there was never really a clear story of what happened to the guy who had been selling them that explained why he stopped. If you know any more about it, please share!

jcase himself has come out saying that the exploit his method used would be pretty inaccessible for the layman anyhow--like there's no way to automate it and make it more dummy-proof, so I doubt we'll ever even get root at all, WP or no. Seeing how many people manage to screw up even the simpler root methods already... yeah, I don't see it happening.
The phone can STILL be unlocked by the Chinese Moto guy for $45 but it has to have been built in 2014. He no longer has the 2013 build codes.

On another thread, there was some discussion about the dates for which the unlock codes are available. Turns out 1/10/2014 is also not good enough.
So, all phones assembled in 2014 do not qualify then, it seems.

The way the sentence above is constructed, it project that ALL phones built in 2014 do not qualify for an unlock code. That's not correct.
The proper way to state that not all 2014 phones have codes would be: most, but not all, phones assembled in 2014 might be unlocked by purchasing the unlock code.
is there any solution, that i can unlock my phone to use different sim card currently its looked at Telenor Serbia? i know s2 has some programs, etc but is that legal i don't want to brake my warranty or phone? and if its possible how to do that i mean in anyway, but not brake anything? i will backup i just wanna be sure its safe... and btw my phone is i9105p
anyone?
Hi my friend. I think that you can't unlock your sim card without losing your warranty. You just can go to the near mobile service and pay 1000RSD for unlock SIM

Try flashing with another region firmwares, it succesfuly once on grand duos
OrdinaryNoob
i flashed nordic firmware and insterted diffrent sim card and again it asks for unlock pin etc.. so i think that it won't work when change firmware..
Try from different continent, it shoul be work, last time i've tried galaxy grand duos its sim locked abu dhabi, then I flashed with rusian firmware and its work like charm, try your luck man
Edit: logically if newer devices was possible to break the sim.unlock, note that this 2 devices has same BCM processor too, keep tryin'
OrdinaryNoob
one more question, if i try different firmwares that wouldn't brake anything on my phone? i am thinking to flash serbian telekom firmware, maybe it will then work, now i am downloading Italian firmware, and i will try it
Its just software based, nothing to worry about, language problem, may its not containing your local language. Make sure that you better try firmware which its not containing any provider/carrier even other carriers
OrdinaryNoob
i flashed Italian, inserted different carrier sim and again it asks for unlock pin.. but shows signal on phone, even when i dismissed it, but when i try call it says not registered on network.
Wait, i'll.take some suffer be back here for 40min
Edit, ok you there??lets try our noob luck, which carrier you're currently locked to, which country that device from??
OrdinaryNoob
Have youvtried this one??
OrdinaryNoob
This one too, make sure you're rooted,busybox installed to, works on galaxy s3
OrdinaryNoob
didn't tried the french fw because i don't know if its 4.2.2 or not, my phone is on 4.2.2 if it matters, and installed this app and busybox but look what it says
Galaxsim failed, ok this devices s2ve/p not widely world distributed, as it only has small countries and not much firmware options.which country you're and what carriers you're locked to????

---------- Post added at 03:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 AM ----------
Keep in mind that's must be a way to unlock it, as it shouldn't harder than apple's simlock method, after you flashed other firmwares did it changed your baseband details???see in setting.
