Hello all, i am trying to get my phone unlocked currently its locked to Telus Canada & Model ALCATEL ONE TOUCH IDOL 3 5.5 6045I .
Have tried 4 different sites selling unlock codes. They all provided me similar codes, one company provided 4 different codes and some 1 or 2 but the codes are same.
cellunlocker.net
Oneunlock.com
guaranteedunlock.com
canadagsm.ca
None of the codes worked, i have now 4 tires left. Tried factory reset before entering the code, have made sure that IMEI number, Provider ID and image Mapping (Secro / SRO) was provided. I even received SPCK code also but phone only asks for SIM lock code.
Anyone have any idea what could be going on, i am using windmobile sim to unlock it. This phone has never been activated on the Rogers, it was BNIB.
Thanks for your time.
Have you tried any eBay unlockers? I found this one: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Unlock-Code-...116098?hash=item4ae66766c2:g:HuoAAOSw~1FUXz7Q
Thanks for the link, but they do not support this phone. Got an email back from them. Thanks
Did you ever get this resolved? I have a similar problem. All the sites I request an unlock code from give me a server error. Telus can't find the IMEI in their system although the UPC verifies it is a Telus device .
I used this site for my Bell Idol 3: http://www.mobifree.ca/
Hi! after having the codes what are the instructions to unlock the phone? can someone help?

Usually, the vendor you purchase from will give you instructions. They're nearly the same for all phones. You put in a SIM card from another carrier and put in the code, or sometimes you have a number sequence first
sent from a phone running a ROM

Hi! Thanks for the help. I realised that you need to have your Wifi / Data turned on in order for the pop-up asking for the codes appear.
Although the codes that I bought didn't really worked...
I have never had to have wifi or data turned on for an unlock code to pop up. I've unlocked plenty of phones, including 2 Idol3 phones. All I need to do was power up the phone with a foreign sim inside.

Hello, I have AT&T and my friend has T-Mobile. He upgrades so often that I buy his 'old' phones and he calls T-Mobile and gets the unlock code for me, then I give these phones to my wife so she can use it on AT&T and have WiFi, but not have to have a data plan. Works great. Plus, I can play around with Android, which I like.
Question - I just purchased his 'old' (from June/2010) Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant. He called T-Mobile and after about a day, they sent the unlock code. I went through the necessary steps (verified IMEI #, powered down phone, put AT&T sim in, power phone on, received code screen). I put the code in, and it said that it was an invalid code.
So we called Tmo customer service again, and verified the code and everything, then tried it again. Said the same thing.
I don't want to try it again as I am afraid it will brick the phone. Am I missing something? Do you have to put a # or * or - or something else in with the code?
Thank you in advance.
Edit: I should mention that I also downloaded the Samsung Galaxy S xda developers unlock tool for Mac to find the code in the phone. I tried the non-root version, and it did not find a code. I would have tried the root version, but I have no idea what that means.

I have exactly the same problem on my T959, hack software could not find the unlock code on the phone. Paid unlock service for Provider and manufacturer code still did not work.
Have you found a solution? Are you using the stock ROM or was it ever changed?
Same problem... I cannot get a code...
I am told that the device is not found, even though it shows that the Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate is connected. Also during the generate the unlock code, the program could not find the nv_data.bin.
Could you tell me what I am doing wrong, and why it does not look for this file on my phone?
go to some forum to seek way out .
way out, waiting too
Same here I ccan't get my phone to unlock with Tmobile provided code.
Anyone solve the problem? Mine don't work too.
it would be wonderful to figure this out
fix
did your friend ever change the rom on the device? I had the same problem on my captivate. The unlock codes for all of the galaxy s series are built into the phone and simply hidden. If the firmware has been changed (ie, upgraded to 2.2 or flashed another rom) then the codes are altered.
sucks. but now you have to go to youtube and search "unlock ____" and it is no trouble on a pc.
I have a D2G.
I do not understand I do not buy the unlock code.
I may have to be unlocked by code 16 numbers?

"Dear Customer,
Sorry I have been unable to generate the correct unlock code for your mobile. There are so many mobile out there sometimes the firmware on certain versions mean I cant generate the code.
I have sent your details over the accounts team who will send you a refund. Although normally quicker please allow up to 7 days for the refund to get back into your account.
Once again I apologise for not being able to get the correct code for your mobile. Your only option may be your network operator or a local shop who can unlock via a cable.
Best Regards,

Don't post your MEID or IMEI publicly, people can do all sorts of nasty things like report your phone stolen with that information.
help me ........
So you got the refund from TheUnlockShack.com?
Since most of them can give money back if they cannot find your code.You can try another unlock website or find on eBay. I got my code from an eBay seller.
Did you make sure you gave the correct IMEI, not MEID?
You can obtain your IMEI number by pressing *#06# on your mobile phone. Try it.
Note: that will only show the IMEI if the phone is in GSM mode. Maybe in Global mode too, but definitely not in CDMA mode.
IMEI is available under Settings, About phone, Status.

The droid 2 global unlock solution for now
THE DROID 2 GLOBAL UNLOCK SOLUTION FOR NOW
This is what i am using on both of my D2G. they work fine 100% with no issues at all. I bought a universal turbo Sim from eBay. and here it is.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/270686865877?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l26499
item number:270686865877
Sold by:electronic_sell
I also see they have 91 sold so far...
it worked perfect on both my blue and my white droid 2 global i bought from eBay this year 2011 and both had bad esn when i bought them. i bought codes from eBay and got 2 codes each time and they never worked so this is the only solution for now. thank you for reading.
I've a Droid 2 Global purchased from a seller in US, which I'd like to use in India with a GSM SIM Card. It was used with Verizon Wireless and when I tried to use it, it requested for "SIM Network Unlock PIN". This sounded like the unlock code and I have entered the 8 digit unlock code he provided to me after contacting Verizon. But, when I enter the code to unlock the mobile, it says "Network Unlock Request unsuccessful" and prompts for "SIM Network Unlock PIN" again!
I've made sure the mode is GSM/UMTS (verified with Global also, though!) and tried with different GSM SIM cards. All those SIM cards work normally when used in other mobiles. I've tried contacting Verizon support 5 times, Motorola Support 2 times and my local GSM carrier support 3 times. It appears it was with Verizon. I've verified everytime that the IMEI of the phone and the Unlock code given to me match with the data they have! They wonder why this is not working, but they couldn't help.
I've tried installing custom ROMs too! The problem remains same! I've installed Radiocomm to see if I could try with the codes at "Subsidy Code" but it returns status as 00 (which means unlocked as per some other forums!!).
Can someone help me understand what exactly is going on with my D2G?
The unlock code for your device was changed at some point, or VZW's database information is invalid. It happens. In such cases the device is usually sent to VZW for a warranty claim (if you are a VZW customer).
Sadly, I am not a VZW customer. I live in India and planned to use it with my local GSM Carrier.
I've purchased unlock codes from some website too. They provided 2 codes which turned out to be useless. Is there a way we can bypass this from Radicomm?
No, there isn't.

hi, newb here, having trouble unlocking my att skyrocket. i have followed the instructions to what i think is the "t" as they are very simple, but no luck. the only way i ever see "perso init is successful" is if after going back to network lock for one minute i go back again and hit #4 networck lock again "perso_nv_init is successful" comes up, but still locked. my model is a att samsung sgh-i727. android 4.0.3 baseband i727ucld2. kernel ver. 3.0.8-perf-i727ucld2-cl363164 [email protected] #1. build # iml74k.ucld2. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks
I'd just buy an unlock code. If you try the free unlock too many times it'll permanently not allow you to unlock even if you buy a code. The unlock codes are not that expensive.
Ps, you can probably get the code for free from your carrier. This phone has been out for a long time.

It is very true! If you attempt to unlock too many times then it will permanently be locked unless you send it in for JTAG reprogramming or to Samsung and pay the repair charge, but this is if you tried to unlock via just entering random codes.
In order to get to where you need to enter the code, you have to insert a SIM that is not with the carrier it is locked to, it will then prompt you for the code to unlock.

i have never seen or been asked for a sim code, when my tmo sim is in i get "mm6 error" or "not registered to network". if i type in something like *#7465#(i know thats not the # i just cant remember it right now)to get lock info, it all comes back as off. can mm6 error be for something else?
Sim Card
When I unlocked mine, you are supposed to put in a different SIM when you unlock your phone. Not the same one you use daily. Probably why it isn't working right...

Waht? Sounds like superstition tbh.
I had my daily sim when I unlocked mine at cellunlocker.net/samsung-unlock.php and all went fine.
OP: Try another sim.
I have ZTE MF920W+ LTE Ufi modem, I had been trying to unlock it but all effort was futile, I tried all forums but haven't met anything similar at all. Without unlocking it, I'm unable to change from 4G, 3G nor Edge but all on automatic. I tried using the unlock code but realized it accepts 16 codes and not 12, a friend tried buying the code for me but none of the codes worked. Please help ASAP.

Hello, I am currently connected to the web using a AT&T ZTE MF923 that I bought brand new from Best Buy. The device was considered GoPhone which is a prepay. I did not ever activate the device with AT&T, I immediately requested the unlock code. The response I got was *we cannot provide you with the unlock code for this device because it has been flagged as fraudulent. I assumed that the reason this happened was that the device came in a box IMEI id printed next to the product barcode on the outside of the package for anyone to see. AT&T does not want people to but these things then unlock them without opening the package and then sell them online as "unlocked device." So I went to unlockbase.com and paid 5 dollars for them to send me a code. I paid right before bed and woke up and plugged the code in before I had to leave for work. Now my ZTE MF923 Hotspot device works on Project Fi with a Data-only Sim I had ordered from project fi.
How to unlock:
You cannot unlock the device it's self using it's touch screen interface. You must do 2 things to get unlocking to work.
1. You must have a working SIM card from another Carrier. You can't activate the SIM on this device AS you try to unlock. Ask a friend to borrow their SIM card. This device uses Micro SIM so I had to have a Nano-SIM to Micro-SIM adapter. As long as the SIM you insert is activated on a completely different carrier from the one the device is locked to (mine was ATT so I put my Project Fi phone-plan SIM into it). Insert your SIM.
2. Once you have inserted your sim you need to connect to a computer with a USB cable. Allow any drivers to install automatically.
3. Open your web browser and visit 192.168.1.1
When you plug in via USB it should kick you offline from whatever other internet you have set up. When you visit this page, this is the device setup page AND the router settings page. Once you access the HotSpot settings page WITH a SIM from a different carrier..... You get promoet to type in your unlock code. Mine unlocked on the first try and now works well!!!!!

Sorry for the delayed response.
To receive the unlock code for this device, I first tried requesting it dro. ATT and technically they were supposed to give it to me but they did not. There is some type of rule they have that states that if you buy a prepaid device for AT&T you must have the device in service for a minimum of 12 months before they will let you have an unlock code. But they're supposed to be a loophole in that if you never actually activated the device with AT&T, they're supposed to let you have the unlock code. However they did not. I actually purchased this device with the intention of unlocking it. I never did activate it......so
I went to one of those large carrier unlock websites who will sell you the code for about $5. This does work. There are quite a few of those companies out there who do that so I can't even remember who it was that I went through. just make sure that you research the company you're buying from and you'll have success.
I have successfully unlocked this device for unlock contact me my fb id
