try device unlock for t-mobile to unlock till me is faild
how how can enter code to unlock ??
i have to code NCK & SPCK
You should have an app to request a carrier unlock. If the T-Mobile and the MetroPCS devices are essentially the same I don't see why this would not be the case. My MetroPCS LG G Stylo has the app on the home screen in the folder which contains all of my MetroPCS apps. I've actually been fighting with support about getting mine unlocked prior to the 90 day policy for use when I am in Germany.
I have problems unlocki ng my phone i bought someone off craigslist with a lock. On it cani get some help to google unlock this acct so i can activate my phone
Good luck trying to unlock the Style H631 with T-Mobile. They are a bunch of lying manipulating thieves. My mother bought the phone from T-Mobile 2 years ago, she was paying $65.00 a month ($15.00 included for phone payment). I told her to go with H2O, Cricket or AT&T, which have he best reception where we live. I told her to unlocked network her Stylo, we tried by codes by purchasing from online unlock companies, didn't work. I told her to contact T-Mobile and asked for an unlocked code since she was with them for 2 years and never miss a payment. They told her that she needed to pay the remainder of the phone in order for them to give them an unlock code. She did, it was around $120.00. At the time, they gave her a receipt and gave her a number to call. She called and told her that it can't be done because she already unlocked 2 phones in one year, and they only unlock one phone per year. It doesn't make sense, it was her first time unlocking a phone with T-Mobile, she then replied to them, if you can only unlock one phone per year, then how come it shows 2 phone in one year?
If you are with T-Mobile, you are simply out of luck, and the app to unlock is just an app that will display "device can't be unlock" or something along those lines. Best of luck.

I called AT&T today to ask for the unlock code as I'm gonna go back home next week. I've been using the Cappy with AT&T since August 31, so it is more than 90 days. As experienced with T-mobile before, I was able to get the unlock code after using T-mobile service for more than 90 days. But that is not the case with AT&T and Captivate. The guy over there told me that there is an exclusive agreement or something like that which make the Captivate not eligible to be unlocked. That really upsets me. Well, I know that without AT&T technical we still can unlock the phone to use with another carrier (Using the unlock tool) but AT&T pisses me off!!!
Btw, I have a little concern (that is the reason why I called AT&T). Is there any difference between using the unlock tool and getting the code from AT&T for unlock? Also, do we need to root before using the unlock tool?
Thanks
Uhhh, just call back and get a different rep. I am almost certain you can get an unlock code. Tell them you are going over-seas for business, or visiting family etc. I think by law they have to give you the code (if you meets certain restrictions)
Just use this app to get the unlock code, and forget AT&T.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/samsung-galaxy-s-unlock-tool/com.clarkehackworth.SamsungGalaxySUnlock
There is no difference in the methods, the code the app gets is the same as the one in AT&T's database.
Thanks guy. I did call 2 reps today and got the same answer. Stupid. Regarding the Galaxy S unlock took, I believe that I need to choose No-Root Gen Codes button if my phone hasn't been rooted yet. But why do we need Root Gen Codes while we can unlock w/o root?
When i first purchased my Nexus S from Best Buy for AT&T, I was informed by the sales guy that I could call AT&T and get it unlocked by AT&T for free since Best Buy didn't have unlocked units at the time . I called and AT&T informed me that I would have to wait 90 days from the day of activation to be eligible for an unlocked code for my device. I called 100 days later and I am now being told by the AT&T support rep that AT&T does not offer an unlock code for my particular device . Has anyone encountered a similar problem or knows of a free solution to having the Nexus S GSM version unlocked? Open to any explanation or interpretation.

It's already unlocked. Every Nexus device sold has always been sim unlocked (even those sold subsidized by the carriers).
Thank you! I guess that would explain the 35 minute phone call with AT&T trying to figure out why the phone didn't have an unlock code. At one point during the call i was asked if the manufacturer was really samsung. I told the lady it was a Nexus S and she said that the manufacturer didn't exist. I had to explain it to her but she was very polite.
Haha, its great isn't it! I went as far as to order the unlock code from one of the many online services, which they obviously couldn't generate.
To my delight, tried a foreign similar card when I went on vacation and BLAM!
I threw my sim (telus) in my friends (wind mobile) Nexus s and his was emergency calls only, while mine worked with his sim. Interesting note. After putting the telus card in the wind phone, his phone was unable to receive service again. I had to randomly google a dial code thingy to connect to his mobile network
The Rogers/Bell/Telus/AT&T version of the Nexus S (i9020A) supports different frequency bands than the Wind/Mobilicity/Videotron/T-Mobile version (i9020T). That would explain why you weren't able to exchange SIM cards. Fortunately the upcoming Galaxy Nexus will support all frequency bands in a single phone, so it won't have this problem.
So I've been waiting to permanently Unlock my LG G STYLO, however when I go to device Unlock app, it says my device is not compatible to try again later or contact customer service. Turns out I can't have my phone rooted and ask for a permanent unlock. I know its just so I can switch carriers. Did anybody find another way to unlock your phone with root? I have metropcs.
How long have you had your phone? I think you have to have it for at least 90 days to be eligible for unlock with MetroPCS.
Going with 4months however it states online I have to be unrooted so it can unlock.

I had the same unlock issue.
It depends on where you got the phone. I purchased it via Walmart, and was not on their (Walmart) service plan on tmobile network but on tmobile 30 prepaid plan. Tmobile will not unlock it without Walmart plan contacting them......big pain in the bass......since I was a tmobile pre paid customer using their sim in the walmart stylo phone.......finally after multiple attempts I was able to make the unlock it for me
If you are on Walmart phone and plan
Then you have to contact Walmart plan and request unlock code and meet their requirement for unlock
If you bought the phone directly from tmobile/metro then you must meet their mim requirement for unlock.
Hope this helps

i work for metro pcs. just brick your phone some how and take it to any store and say it wont turn on. they will do a warranty for you. only cost $15 to do it.. then when you get the exchange in then do the unlock app,,
also i have the same phone and i had to call customer service to get them to activate the unlock app
I unlocked via the t-mobile after troubling them for a good week
I am having a somewhat similar situation. My G Stylo is on Metro PCS. I have had it since its release which is well over the 90 day eligibility period for the unlock. But when I tried to use the Device Unlock App it keeps saying my device is not eligable. But that's not the issue because I contacted Metro PCS and after they verified that I'm eligable they gave me the unlock code themselves. However here is where my issue comes in. I can't access the menu to enter the code. I tried putting in a different Sim (which usually works) but instead of asking for an unlock code I only get a window popping up that tells me to use the unlock app. I then tried a dial code to access the hidden menu but in that menu I don't see an option for Network or Sim unlock. And I called Metro PCS back and their troubleshooting efforts to get the Device Unlock App to work were unsuccessful.
Does anyone know of a way to access the Network Unlock menu to enter the unlock code?
Thanks
Cant enter unlock code on Lg G Stylo. Only the Network provider has to unlock. Keep troubling them and they will do it
I have a G Stylo I bought (Walmart Family Mobile) while visiting US. When I bought it, I knew I had to stay for almost 2 months in US and then return to Europe(where I live). Due to some personal matters I had to return earlier (after 3 weeks).
When I got in Europe I tried the T-Mobile unlock app and they granted me 30 days of temporary unlock. Everything was fine till this deadline expired and afterwards, the local SIM card (O2) wasn't accepted anymore.
The unlock app doesn't allow me to do any kind of unlock (nor temporary nor permanent).
I contacted twice T-Mobile US customer support to be able to get at least some additional temporary unlock but when they checked the US phone number they said I should ask about temporary unlock to Walmart Family Mobile support (which is really crappy. Only automatic phone support for paying bills and not much more).
I also tried purchasing an unlock code (from one of the sites offering them). Even though I paid for it and I got the code, there's no way for me to enter it in the phone.
When I start with the O2 sim card I only get in the beginning a message saying "Network Lock" with an OK button (photo attached)
The site where I bought the code gave me a few dial options to try out in order to somehow make the network unlock menu appear but none of them worked.
For example, when I dialed "2945#*631#", after the last "#" all the digits typed till then are deleted and no menu appears.
What should I do?
I paid some Indian dude on Ebay to unlock my MetroPCS stylo. 3 days and $26.95 later, I unlocked it through the unlocker app and switched over to the 30 dollar T-mobile plan. Definitely worth that money.

I tried a few times to get in touch with T-Mobile customer support but once they checked my phone number they said I should address Walmart Family Mobile support.
I couldn't find any mail or live chat to get in touch with Walmart's support.
The Walmart support is just some automated system that tells me I have to pay the latest bill in order to get support. This happens once I dial my US phone number. Rather than pay my last bill (~$25) and maybe try afterwards to see if they can unlock my phone, I would better pay this to have it unlocked once and for all.

Thanks for the all the details.
Unfortunately it's not MetroPCS and I had it active for less than 91 days. The initial plan was to stay in US for a few months but in the end I had to return to EU after 3 weeks.
I 100% agree with you that most of the time when dealing with cust. support you have to make a few calls until you get somebody with a bit more skills than the rest.
Hello All,
Any recommendations to a website that will Sim Unlock my T-Mobile device to use it on international GSM?
Thanks
Are you currently a T-Mobile customer or no? If so you should be able to get them to unlock it for you. If not I don't know the answer.
Ebay and other unlocking sites offer the T-Mobile app unlock up for sale, anywhere between 25-50 bucks or so.
There is an app on there to check if you are eligible for unlock.
Traditionally, you could call T-Mo's Customer Care and request an unlock. They have been generally pretty lenient on letting people unlock (especially for long time customers).
However, seeing as there is this unlock app built in to the phone that has a temporary unlock option, you may only get authorized to use that until your phone is paid off or something to that extent.
It is definitely worth a call.

Bought my wife's G5 from T-Mobile Online. Called to request to have it unlocked and they told me they have a 40 day waiting period then I can have it unlocked. They waived it immediately once I told them I was in the military and currently stationed overseas. Took about 6hrs to receive the unlock information.

Congrats. You saved the 40 days waiting. My case was different, after i purchased mine on ebay, i found out that the IMEI is blacklisted (outstanding balance), so i had to go to third party services.

Well, that sucks. I'll always buy from Swappa since I bought my LG v10 from there. Also remember, if you're buying a phone from someone, to ask for the IMEI to verify with the carrier that it isn't blacklisted. You probably actually paid the person enough so they can fix themselves.

Well, the issue was solved with 45$ I was in a hurry to buy it because the price was attractive and swappa had much higher prices. Well next time, for sure more investigation must be done before buying.
I dont mean to hijack this thread but it's exactly my problem. I have at&t in Iowa (pretty much no tmobile presence here) bought a brand new g5 off ebay wasnt paying attention to the fact that it was locked to tmobile. I did try a site that charges 30 something bucks to get it unlocked and they emailed be back the next day saying they couldnt do it. I checked the eimi or whatever on swappa, says its clean. I saw somewhere that the best way to get the unlock code is to order a prepaid sim and load some money on it and wait 2 weeks and then request the unlock code? I went to tmobile's website and got halfway through the prepaid sim screens but when i put the eimi number in it comes back with nothing, i am assuming thats because the phone has never been activated anywhere before? Appreciate the help, I dont want to pile more dumb on top of dumb...
I need help unlocking my LG g5. I bought it online through eBay from someone that works at LG.
The phone came sealed, I ordered a unlock code, but I discovered as soon as I turned it on that now I need to unlock through t-mobile device unlock app.
The site I ordered my code said they would change my status on the t-mobile database so I can unlock the device through the app.
I Googled around and that should have worked. But apparently my IMEI is not registered t-mobile.
I bought a prepaid Sim and put it on the phone. It's working at t-mobile but its still not at their database (the IMEI).
What should I do?
Is there any way to force the IMEI to t-mobile database so it can be unlocked through the third party?
Or is there any other way to unlock it.
Please help...

Did you try the permanent lock option on the t-mobile unlock app? What message did you get then?
So far I tried 2 different services and requested unlock code but none of them worked, they simply didn't get back to me with any results.
Can someone suggest one that actually worked for them please and PM me?
Thanks guys.

It says:
Unlock Failed: This mobile device is eligible for unlock. For device unlock eligibility details, please go online or contact Customer Support.
And even if I go online, to T-Mobile IMEI check website, it says my IMEI is not recognized at T-Mobile.
Thats the problem.
Although I'm using it at T-Mobile, and it is a T-Mobile branded phone.
And because it's not at the database, I can't do ANYTHING to try to unlock it through third parties.

Maybe it has been bought on contract and must have been activated first so that IMEI would be registered at T-Mobile.
Mine was blacklisted and i unlocked it. It shouldn't be a big deal for yours.
I would suggest drop T_mobile a visit or call, and check with them what is wrong.
Logically, if the IMEI is not on their database then it shouldn't be carrier locked.
I will drop you a PM for a contact that might help you in this issue.

Wrong my friend. If the phone is on TMO but IMEI is not in theit database that means phone wasn't activated on TMO network, which means you're not gonna be able to unlock it through official unlock app.
I wonder if this phone unlockeble at all without using that unlock app.

Noway get it unlocked without using the app. That is why unlocking service is starting from 30$ up to 45$. After i got confirmation from my unlock provider, i run the app, permanent unlock, and then unlock successfull reboot phone.
Hi, i have a problem with a T-mobile LG G5 H830. Bought the phone last year and it was unlocked and i used it on a different network ever sense. Last night i update the phone to Android 8.0 over LG bridge and now the phone is network locked. When i go to the Device Lock application to unlock it, it says "Unlock Faild: This mobile device is not eligible for unlock. For device Unlock eligibility details, please go online or contact Customer Care. Has anyone run into the same problem, i am currently in Europe and dont know what to do, can anyone help. Thanks in advance.

When I had my G5, I bought it used off of eBay, the seller wasn’t able to unlock for some reason. I was able to unlock it with a Mint Mobile SIM, which was a T-Mobile sub company. I hate the greedy phone service companies we have in the USA.
Hope that link helps you!
