Hi,
It seems i used up all my tries way before when i first inserted my sim card into this phone when i foolishly thought it was asking me for a PIN. I was glad this morning when i saw the email from my previous carrier tech-support, but unfortunately I can't use the unlock code anymore.
So is there any way of resetting the counter without service center, because the phone is way beyond warranty.
Thanks.
From what I read so far, No.
Sent from my D2303
i have solution for it but its paid not for free one click unlock instant to few minuts only remotely possible

Sorry for the double post guys, I meant to post here.
Ok, I purchased an unlock code and unlocked successfully. A few weeks later, I sent out for repair for GPS lock-on issues, and recieved the same exact phone back(s/n and IMEI's match). I am really not too sure if the phone is unlocked still or not but I don't think it is because I cannot delete the T-mobile APN which was the reason I needed it unlocked in the first place so I can use Simple Mobile.
I tried to unlock the phone by using the 2945#*999#, but when I enter the unlock code that I have purchased, it says unlocked unsuccessfully.
Does the unlock code change or stays the same always. If it stays the same, why am I having a problem? I tried inputting twice.

Once you unlock a phone it stays unlocked. Your unlock is probably unsuccesful as the device is already unlocked. Have you tried your simple sim in the phone. If it boots up without a carrier lock message and asking you ton input the code that confirms it is unlocked.
On the official T-Mobile GB rom, the T-Mobile APN will never go away regardless of whether the phone is carrier locked or unlocked. Mine has that but no biggie. Just create new entries for data and mss for your carrier, and click the radio button so that Simple Mobile's normal APN for data is selected. Then you will be good to go.
See photo below. Will look like that just with your carrier's apn instead of mine.

Well that is good to know that the phone is unlocked. I actually used to be able to delete the T-Mobile apn. Now I cannot delete it. But I can deal with the T-Mobile apn staying there but everytime I click the simple mobile apn, it keeps switching back to T-Mobile which is y I needed to originally unlock the phone in the first place. How do I keep the green dot on my simple mobile apn without it moving by itself every 5-10 minutes?
Search for my other thread for a solution to the Simple APN issue. It si because they use the same carrier ID as TMO. My solution fixes your problem.
I friend want to sell me a G2X that was unlocked to all carriers, but, when he use again a T Mobile SIM, it locked again, dont know why, my friend dont know anything about phones and he try to enter 10 times a code and now i we cant unlock via IMEI. We dont live in USA, he use the tmobile sim in a travel. Now, we dont know how to unlock.
Any idea? is there any way to reset that try with network lock, so i can enter the unlock code? or there is any method to unlock via software?
the messages when i put thi sim is "this phone is permanently locked and cannot be unlocked"

Once unlocked, the phone is permanently unlocked. I think you mean the SIM access code which, if entered incorrectly too many times, will permanently lock the SIM, not the phone. You need to get a new SIM card.
Thank you guys for your site, I've learned so much already. Here's my problem, I took my HTC Inspire to a tech guy to have him unlock the phone (at that time I didn't know that I could just call AT&T and get the unlock code...). The guy said he unlocked the phone but when I tried putting in T-Mobile sim card it would sometimes read and sometimes not. From being on your website, I discovered a few things. First, the phone's software is reading a different IMEI # than what's actually printed on the phone. Also, when I started the phone to see the bootloader, it still showed as locked. However, when I start the phone with a different sim card, the phone does not ask me for an unlock code, it simply either reads or doesn't read (most of the time) the presence of a sim card. I figured the best way to handle this was to use Glevitan's easy unlock tool (since the hack kit is no longer available). However, when his program gets to the part with the token identifier, I was able to copy the token but have a problem with the HTC-DEV website. Either the website says the code was accepted and that an email was sent (which I never receive) or just before getting to the screen to input the token identifier the website says that I'm not logged in (which of course, I am). Anyway, I've been trying to get the email from HTC-DEV for three days now to no avail (I've even tried to tweet HTC-DEV who only resopnded once saying to check my spam folder...). I am hoping someone can help me. I would like to either fully unlock the phone and flash a new ROM or at least get the phone to recognize the correct IMEI and go back to stock to get an unlock code from AT&T. Thanks for reading this long post! Jim
Try using a different email address for the unlock code. Or pm me with your token I'D and ill rum it through the site and pm you back with your token.

Just FYI, glevitan's tool is for bootloader unlock, not SIM unlock. They're separate things. Having never unlocked my SIM card manually, I don't know what's going on with the IMEIs. If your phone sometimes reads an alternate SIM card and sometimes doesn't, I would see if the phone has the same problem with the original SIM card. If it does, it's probably a hardware problem. If that's not the case, if I were in your situation, I'd go yell at the tech guy and try to figure out what he did.

Jim, It seems that the tech guy used a box to modify your IMEI number in order to unlock it. You should use the same method to revert it to stock IMEI and the get the unlock code from your carrier. What I am refering is a JTAG BOX
Hi there,
I'm trying to unlock my fido RAZR HD but when I put in a foreign sim it does not prompt me for an unlock code and on the lock screen it says SIM is perso locked. Anyone know what that means? I've tried to foreign sims and none of them have SIM PINS and have had no luck.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JidXyk1mO5c
I saw that. Unfortunately the video doesn't really offer a solution.
In case anyone else runs into the same issue, sadly the only solution is to perform a factory reset.
I popped in the foreign SIM, went into the factory reset and once the phone rebooted it prompted me for the unlock code.
yeah man, that was one of the solution suggested in the vid. At least , u over the hurdle.:good:
Hello. I have Alcatel Idol 3 6039H from macedonian T-Mobile network. I obtained unlock code from unlockbase.com but it seems they have send me wrong code or I done something wrong and now my phone says "Mobile networks have been permanently locked because you have incorrectly entered SIM ME lock 3 times. Please contact the operator". And now phone won't work with any sim card even with the carrier that it's lock on.
Is there any way to fix this without sending phone to service?
Thanks.
hhmm sound bad, man. Why you buy a locked phone and then you unlock it by illegal company? Anyway on their site their claim they have 24/7 support and money back guarantee. Have you tried to contact them?
I think the only solution is to contact the t-mobile. Or try another illegal company. GOOd Luck.
