I own lg p500h and when I enter 2945#*500# it doesn't work' .it doesn't open the unlock sim card code box for me what should I do?
You are probably on a custom rom. Maybe this code only works on stock rom(or those based on stock).
So, I think you could either try
Reverting to stock and then unlocking your sim
or
Unlocking your sim through another phone

Hi,
I have the same problem - do you have a solution?
I've found on the thread below answers regarding unlocking the sim card - that's not the case I think : I bought a new sim card from a different provider and trying to unlock the LG phone from its previous provider...
Thanks.
Check System settings -> About phone -> Model number. If it says something other than 500, use that number to get to the hidden menus.

That code won't work on any custom rom, make a nandroid, flash a stock rom, or a rom based on stock like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574523 then enter the code and the unlock menu should pop up.
Hey Guys !!

It is wery common trouble for many of us
You are just using the phone that is sim locked by the operator
Good news is that there is an easy fix for your problem- you have to unlock it
The sim unlocking procedure is been performed by most of the mobile service centers,
You may use google to search for sites that can remotely unlock your device

There are several tipes of 'locks' we users are forced to fight with:
- locked bootloader- not allowing us to flash any custom system to our phone
, this is suposed to save inexpearienced or to quick a user from bricking their devices...
- sim lock- by this procedure your mobile provider wants to make sure you will not be using the phone-
THEY gave you on contract, with another provider's sim card...
Sim lock is a very common policy among mobile carriers but you can remove it quite easily
, without any side effects

Hello all,
I just received my sim unlock code from my provider because my phone has a simlock.
They said in the email that I have to put in a foreign simcard, enter the code of that simcard and then I have to see a screen where I can type the simlock code.
Unfortunately that screen doesn't show up.
My HTC Sensation XE is rooted and I have Android 4.2.2 from Albinoman887.
Is there another way to enter the code to unlock my simlock?
Thanks in advance
I may be wrong but I think this is most likely operators fault..
You could always try another ROM and see where that gets you.
After that there is always the option to go back to stock ROM.

For HTC the only way to insert the unlock code is after the phone asks for it,with another sim inside.Is a common problem not to ask for code if you have another rom installed so restoring to the stock rom should allow you to insert the unlock code
Hello, first time to write post in xda...
I have xt925 with fido. I rooted the device and I realized that I must have unlocked device to flash ROM or etc.
So,
I bought unlock code for my xt925 from GSM.
Instruction is
turn on the device with different provider sim card.
I tried with "Rogers" and -_- everything works...
So i guess my device is for Fido and Rogers.
Now, I turn on the device with "Bell" sim card
and the menu window (to input unlock code or pin) did not pop up at the bottom of the screen,
it says "something with sim card (in English) / Perso blah blah (looks like Spanish)"
Anyone knows what this means? any further instruction?

What you are attempting with the unlock code is a "Carrier Unlock". To be able to easily flash custom roms, you need to unlock the bootloader. These are two completely different types of unlocking. Search a little more for unlocking the bootloader.

Hey guys,
I have a situation with my HTC 10. I have unlocked bootloader, and S-off via sunshine and installed Viper10. I recently purchased network unlock codes from HTCUnlockingservice.com but it wouldn't work when I restarted the phone with Verizon sim, so I had to go back to stock T-Mobile RUU. But I have the same problem, when I insert a foreign sim it doesn't promp me to enter unlock codes, instead I have a sim-lock icon in my status bar. The TMobile Device unlock App doesn't work either (it used to say incompatible with Viper10, now it says "failure in processing request. please reboot device and try again").
Can someone help me find a way around it ??
Is there a *# sequence to prompt unlock code entry ?? something like the *#06# is ed for IMEI...
Please help, going crazy over here
thanks
