Hello, and welcome to XDA!
Unless you are lucky enough to find the unlock code on your device (this was a thing with the early Galaxy S devices), you are usually stuck with buying an unlock code.
Not aware of a service menu providing an option to unlock, but there are probably stranger things. Although at the same time, root should not prevent you from getting into the service menu.
Please create an account, so you can post in other forums. From there, feel free to ask about unlocking options for the A8 in this thread:

Hope this helps, and good luck!

I have upgraded my phone and my old phone has been passed on to my son. The old phone is an HTC One S running the carriers Android.
Originally this phone was on the UK carier Three. I obtained the unlock code and unlocked the phone. We have installed a Vodafone SIM and it is making calls and sending SMS no problems. However it will not connect to the web.
I had assumed that it would simply just work on the web.
Are there other settings I should be changing to make the web accessible?
Sir,
For more relevant answers and/or solutions you can start ask in the device related forum here:

Have a nice day

Hello friends. I buyed new LG Volt boost mobile from amazon but in my country boost mobile doesnt work and as you understand i need to unlock this device. I tried many ways, but i cant unlock my phone . Anyone can help me please?
Hi,
I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device. You should try a cell unlock website. They are usually fairly cheap and should tell you if it will work before you pay.
But, be sure the phones radio bands are supported by your carrier, or it won't work for you anyway.
You can ask for other ideas here,

Good luck!
Thank you for answering my question. But i already try unlocking webites. All of them are saying "Boost Mobile can't be unlocked via an unlock code". I need some other ways
Ask in the section I linked. That's about all you can do. A google search on the issue could help too. ?
Okay. Thank you very much for help
I recently bought a Huawei Y550 in the UK and returned to Japan (where I live)
In Japan I can connect to local networks (Docomo 4G) using my UK EE sim card but when I insert my Japanese (AU-KDDI) sim card it won't connect to a network - selecting the KDDI 4G network gives the error 'can't connect to the network at this time. Please try again later' (or something like that). I get the same error when using the various APNs available.
When the phone lists the networks with my UK sim inserted, Docomo has a 'tick' next to it and the other networks have a 'plus' symbol next to them. When I insert my Japanese sim, KDDI has a 'plus' symbol next to it while all the others have 'no access' symbols next to them. (Image attached since I can't insert links as a new member.)
I was under the impression that if my phone was sim locked I would be asked for a code when the Japanese sim is inserted but I have full function of the phone (all apps, wifi etc) with that sim inserted; I just don't have a mobile network connection.
Not sure if it makes any difference but this phone is rooted. The problems were the same before and after rooting.
My question is: How can I get this phone to work on the KDDI network?
Thanks!
Hi,
You likely do need to sim unlock the device. Probably from a website that does it for a fee.... If they can do your device. As for how to do it, I can't find anything relevant on XDA about this. You can try asking in this thread,
> Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [Q] Possible to root Huawei Y550?
If that doesn't help, you will need to ask for help here, or try a google search,

Good luck!

Thanks for your help. I have extensively searched google and only found companies that will unlock the phone by sending a code but my phone doesn't ask for a code when I insert the new SIM card so I don't think it is an option.
I will try asking on the thread that you suggested - I am already following that thread (that's how I rooted my phone) but it is only really about rooting the phone and I wasn't sure about posting off-topic.
You can ask, worse they can do is not answer.
Or try the second section I linked. ?

Hi,
I got a old Vodafone 858. As it was SIM locked I used the form on the german Vodafone website to get the unlock code and entered it. The phone told me unlocking was not successful and continued startup.
Now the phone doesn't ask me for the unlock code anymore but also don't register to the mobile network, so only emergency calls are possible.
Already tried wiping everything from recovery menu. Any help?
Hi there,
I'm sorry but I can't find anything relevant to your question/device except this thread: Unlock Vodafone Smart 858/ Huawei U8160

Thanks for your assistance. Was able to solve it for myself by manually selecting the network (T-Mobile 3G). Now it works even after switching back to automatic network discovery.
