Hello. I bought an Unlock code for my J7 that is locked to T-Mobile UK.
The problem is that when I insert any other carrier Sim card, the phone don't ask me for the code. It only shows some message saying that the phone can be unlocked remotely and the option I have is "OK". Even when i dial *7465625*638*# nothing happens.
Does anyone knows what should I do?

Try a different (non-AT&T/Rogers) SIM for starters...
I recall a "No SIM" method kicking around, I just have to remember it.
UPDATE: From offsite...
If your phone does not ask for the unlock code:
1. Turn on the phone with original Sim card or without Sim card
2. Enter #7465625*638*NCK/Network#
The phone is now unlocked.
If your phone does not ask for the unlock code:
1. Turn on the phone with a foreign (Unaccepted) Sim card
2. Then enter the following sequence:
#0199*Unfreeze/Defreeze#
#0111*NCK/Network#
#0121*SCK/Subprovider#
#0133*SPCK/Provider#
The phone is now unlocked.

According to the phone specs versus the Vodaphone frequencies, you may be stuck with 2G as well.

Yikes. Try without a SIM, and see if the message (including the lockscreen msg) is any different.
You may have a bent or broken pin in the SIM tray...
How bypass TMobile Unlock App & get Prompt to enter Network Unlock Code / IMEI unlock
Can't seem get the phone to prompt for to Enter Network Unlock Code or IMEI unlock input anywhere after I put a different carrier sim or invalid sim. Is there anyway we can bypass the 3rd Party Tmo Unlock App or get the phone to bypass to enter the network unlock code? The phone is already Rooted running on various ROM such as Darthstalker, Resurrection and Dr, Ketan L2 and also Rooted Stock ROM, but noting seem to get the sim to prompt to enter network unlock. Try Build.Prop nothing there...so far. Try Deleting sys file, apk and other Efs nothing work.... Do I need to change or install a new Baseband/Radio/Modem?
Its built into the T-Mobile based roms if I'm not mistaken. If you flashed an international rom I would think it would go away and you could get the standard unlock prompt. Thats how others have done it in the past. They flashed MetroPCS roms and then unlocked and then flashed back. Make sure its safe to flash an international rom first (even if only temporary).
Has anyone been able to try this successfully?

Use "shortcut master lite" or paid version its up to you..from app store and launch the 7465625 codes press the ones that show perso <android_unlock_code it should bring up what u need..hope this helps someone. .?I have the core prime from metro..and it works to let me put in the code..only I don't have the code..☺I found out about this app when I had the S5..

It can't be avoided. You must unlock through the app. If you install a custom ROM, and are able to get an unlock prompt from the phone, the code you buy over the internet will not work. You are best to go through the unlocking tools which cost between 25-30 and will let you unlock it with the T-mobile app.
Dude here can unlock it for free. Search the forum. Title "Sim unlock - domestic and international"

You DON"T need an Unlock code for these new Samsung Tmobile phones.
If the phone has been paid off for over 30 days then you can use the free "Tmobile Device Unlock" app to unlock
it and if the phone is STOCK and no one deleted the unlock app it should be in the app drawer of the phone.
If the "Device Unlock" app is not in the app drawer then you can simply download it from the playstore.
To unlock it with the unlock app it only takes one click.
The Device Unlock app will NOT ask for any codes at all it only asks if you want temporary or permanent unlock.
Here is the direct playstore link for the Tmobile Device Unlock app in case you need it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....simlock&hl=en
Here is Tmobile's "Device Unlock" step by step instruction link in case you need it:
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-14011
I unlocked my Tmobile S6 Edge+ and when I go into Settings>Mobile networks and click on
"Network operators" then click "Search Now" it displays Tmobile, AT&T and Verizon as options.
P.s. If the Unlock Device app does NOT unlock your phone it means that it's either not paid off or it has been stolen. (Blacklisted)
Good luck,
Have a great day!
Or, you can use a third party unlocking service like UnlockRadar.com. Here is a link: https://www.unlockradar.com/service/t-mobile-usa-device-unlock-app-official-unlock

You are a lier
i try many times to contact you but never answer..
dont promisse something you wont do it...
Here's my question on this topic. I have flash numerous rims on my TMO note5 and the device unlock app just says it is incompatible and stops there. I know when I put completely stock note5 that I have used the unlock app and it successfully unlocked the phone. After I flashed the rims, the app does not work but I also loose unlock. Anyone else have this issue or know what to do to get unlock back with a custom rom?

Hey. I am sorry i cannot drop everything I am doing to perform a FREE service for you. gtfoh with that entitlement garbage. I do this for people when i'm at my computer when they write me. I go to school full time and hold a full time job. PAY SOMEONE to unlock your phone if you need immediate service. ffs you're the type of person that ruins free services for everyone.

Sadly this is true! The people who think they are entitled to everything and anything are ruining a lot of stuff for everyone else! A lot of devs just gave up and left because of people like this and crybabies who don't read first before doing something to their phone and then suddenly their incompetence is somehow the devs fault!? People need to grow up already.. Seriously!

I'm having the same issue with mine.
Im on a t mobile v10 and managed to get promted to enter a sim network unlock pin but i dont know how to actually get the network unlock code already tried asking the unlocking services ppl and they just refuse to belive you can actually get prompted to enter code.
I have a new ZTE z981 I have obtained a unlock code but how do I get the phone to prompt to enter the said code
Your wrong I got the T-mobile Galaxy S8 to ask for network unlock code
I purchased a Galaxy S7 online, came with a T-Mobile receipt showing the device is paid in full, upon my request the original owner used the unlock app to request a permanent unlock before shipping and it was successfully unlocked. I received the device about 3 days ago everything works as it should, I opened the unlock app just to double check and requested a permanent unlock again and got this message (Unlock Failed: This mobile wireless device is not eligible for unlock etc...) I know the device is unlocked I tried an inactive AT&T sim and did not request a code. Anyone can tell me why the unlock app does not recognize that the device is unlocked, thanks in advance.
You might have to call t-mobile or log in to your t-mobile account and see the unlock status or your device..how do u know the original owner was able to successfully unlock the phone? It's it works with another carrier sim then the phone sld be unlocked and it sldnt be an issue..maybe it's giving up the error msg since it's already unlocked
Sent from my SM-G930F using XDA-Developers mobile app
99% certain that if the device is unlocked, the device is simply unlocked and that's that. If the SIM works you're good to go and any further attempts fail.
Finally T-Mobile website updated the status of the device as unlocked and can be used with any GSM network, but the unlock app still fails to show that, every time I try I get the same message (Unlock Failed) anyone out there has a fix for this error?
Not sure I understand your question.... the phone is already unlocked so the unlock app will give u an error message....cause it's already unlocked...Good luck man...
Sent from my SM-G930F using XDA-Developers mobile app
I have my Samsung Galaxy S7 Unlocked by app. If I try the unlock app process again I'll get the (unlock failed) that means nothing. Put a active simple of another GM Carrier, if it works you are all set. It won't ask to give any code, it will just recognize the other Carrier. Hope this helps.

Unlocking Xfinity S8+
Your post says they gave you the code in response to a text. Did you already have the OEM unlock opition visible in dev options? I don't even have the prompt... I wiped cache part and did factory reset, as someone suggested, but it did not appear after that (contrary to what this person said they'd experienced). So, did you unlock with some specific dial code? or did your settings>dev options have an OEM unlock prompt?

You have confused SIM (carrier) unlock with bootloader unlock. You can not unlock the bootloader on any US (snapdragon) version of the S8 and S8+.
On the other hand, you can SIM unlock with the code that Xfinity Mobile gave you. Turn off the phone, and replace the XM SIM with one from a different carrier. Boot the phone, and your device will ask for SIM unlock code.

Hi, and about the z3x Samsung tool, is possible to unlock with that program?
I know its more complicated, i have been searching and reading and found that.
I try a unlock code without success, now ask me the puk code , and the company refund my money.
And now what's my chances to unlock it?

I'm not familiar with the Z3X tool. If you're trying to carrier/SIM unlock your device, your best and possibly only option is to get your carrier to unlock it.
If you are trying to unlock your bootloader, it's not possible.

I think Xfinity is CDMA, so this is the only viable option you have.
I have a S8+ which is network sim locked to 3 (Sweden). Is there a way to unlock it and still run stock rom? i prefer not running a custom rom.
i already tried unlocking using https://www.samsungsimunlock.com/ without success...
im getting the message :
SIM Network Unlock PIN
Even though the unlock code i ordered from the above page said its permanently unlocked

First, this is the correct message your phone should display and it should be unlocked by now.
However, there are a few things you could check:
1. Verify if the phone's IMEI is clean on websites like: http://imeipro.info
2. Remove any potential Region Lock (if your phone hasn't been used before, place a 5 min call with an accepted SIM card).
3. What message did you receive after inserting the code?
