Hello guys !
Friend of mine has a z3 and I am confused about network condition of this phone. In the hidden menu for network write that the phone is "This phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked" but when I put different sim card the phone is recognized and work well ?
Someone with explanation of this ?
Thank you !

You have already said that when you put another SIM card in it works, so it is not SIM Locked
Where did you get the info about This phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked

I do this:
1. Turn on the phone whithout sim card
2. Type *#*#7378423#*#*
3. Select Service info
4. Select SimLock
5. Check where is X
6. If X is on NETWORK and value is different than 0, you can unlock your phone.
7. If it is 0 unlock by code is NOT possible.

OK, I am unsure on this. I thought you were mistaking the bootloader unlock for SIM unlock.
However, if you can put another SIM in it from a different provider and it works, then it is unlocked
Ok thank you I for your opinion !
Your phone Is unlocked. Mine is the same

If you enter the service info and indicates "0" on the sim lock statu, it means it is OPENLINE in laymans term. Means you can use other sim provider. If it is "1" means your device is sim locked. (0= off, 1= on)

OK, here's the issue.
I unlock my tp2 with the cdma unlocker while my phone was in SIM mode. I checked the security on the phone, and it's saying "Your phone is SIM Unlocked". I need help relocking the phone so i can unlock the cdma on this phone.

then you gotta remove your esn of the touch pro from boost mobile call them and tell them you want to remove the esn and then activate your new esn
i try that, and when they asked me to hit ##3282# i was unable to access the msid code to switch it to my number. the phone is unlocked with the new unlock tool.

Ok so i tried the unlocking method 1 for my sensation and found my 8 digit unlocking code, however when i put in any other sim card rather than the one the phone is locked to is says no sim card in phone so i have no way of inputing the unlock code.
Any ideas?
Thanks in Advance
i think it states in the unlock thread that it wont work with ALL sensations
Thanks for the reply, yes for some people method 1 just shows a date, but mine gave me the 8 digit unlock code.
The problem is the phone is locked to Meteor but when i insert any other sim then a Meteor one it says no sim card in phone, it should ask to enter the 8 digit network unlock code which it doesn't because its not recognising the sim card for some reason.
mine too, not detect the sim card..
Did you solved the problem?
regards

Did you put the code in with the meteor sim inserted?
you could always just flash another ROM and that should fix the issue, I know it's a bit drastic but if you really want to use another carrier...

Sorry for only replying now, still not resolved, how would i put the code in with the meteor sim in it?
Ive already tried changing the rom and tried the method 2 unlock but it still won't recognise any other sims apart from meteor ones.
i try to change simcard in my phone(different network)
when it load to homescreen it doesnt have signal but the phone can read
my contact and messages that are already stored in that simcard
is my phone sim locked?
if not.how is that it dont have any signal?

what do you mean branded or unbranded?is it fake or orginal?
how do i know if it is branded?
i think its all original cause i alredy rooted it and flash it to 6.5.1 XE
when i search network and select the correct network for my simcard it says
"Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
and when i turn it to automatic select network it says
"Unable to connect to this newwork at this time.Please try again later"
what does that means

Seems like you need to get an unlock code.

Hey,
I've already got my SIm Unlock code (this guide helped me get it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233513 )
However when I placed my non-TMobile Sim, I don't get the "SIM Code" popup. This phone belongs to my godfather and he's not sure if he tried entering the code too many times when he tried to use an AT&T Sim.
How can I check if its permanently locked and/or force it to bring up the Sim code popup?
I'm rooted with S-OFF but still on the stock HTC rom.
Thanks.
Edit: I've done the Diag screen to Clean S58 Data and it's still not showing up.. :-/
Edit 2: Scratch the above. I did the Clean S58 data twice, and I got signal. My godfather will love this!

Branded or unbraded doesn't mean fake or original.
Branded = it came with your sim carrier (any logo of your carrier on it?)
Unbranded= means the opposit
If you have a branded phone, you can use only the sim of your carrier unless you unlock it.
This is why I asked. Good luck!

Hi everyone, i followed a tut here and managed to get my unlock code but when i power off and on my phone many times it never ask for the unlock code, and it does not read my "vodafone" sim...

Try a different (non-AT&T/Rogers) SIM for starters...
I recall a "No SIM" method kicking around, I just have to remember it.
UPDATE: From offsite...
If your phone does not ask for the unlock code:
1. Turn on the phone with original Sim card or without Sim card
2. Enter #7465625*638*NCK/Network#
The phone is now unlocked.
If your phone does not ask for the unlock code:
1. Turn on the phone with a foreign (Unaccepted) Sim card
2. Then enter the following sequence:
#0199*Unfreeze/Defreeze#
#0111*NCK/Network#
#0121*SCK/Subprovider#
#0133*SPCK/Provider#
The phone is now unlocked.

According to the phone specs versus the Vodaphone frequencies, you may be stuck with 2G as well.
i cant dial any of those because i always get the same msg " no network available"

Yikes. Try without a SIM, and see if the message (including the lockscreen msg) is any different.
You may have a bent or broken pin in the SIM tray...
I have a S8+ which is network sim locked to 3 (Sweden). Is there a way to unlock it and still run stock rom? i prefer not running a custom rom.
i already tried unlocking using https://www.samsungsimunlock.com/ without success...

SIM Network Unlock PIN
Even though the unlock code i ordered from the above page said its permanently unlocked

First, this is the correct message your phone should display and it should be unlocked by now.
However, there are a few things you could check:
1. Verify if the phone's IMEI is clean on websites like: http://imeipro.info
2. Remove any potential Region Lock (if your phone hasn't been used before, place a 5 min call with an accepted SIM card).
3. What message did you receive after inserting the code?
