Hello!
I have this problem - I had unlocked my o2 Galaxy S6 back in March when I was in Poland (code from o2), and used Plus Pre-Pay Sim when I was there. Everything was good and cool. Now, I am trying to put in a Virgin SIM into my phone here in the UK but the phone comes up with Network Unlock Code. So I first tried to use my code from March, didn't work. I have contacted o2 and received the same code again and it didn't work. I have tried different methods to no avail
What the hell is going on here?
Please help
Regards
Probably unlock code is wrong or you need unfreeze code

Unfreeze code ?
I can't imagine the code being wrong as its straight from O2 :/

Hi,
First of all I hope this has not been covered, I searched but found nothing.
I recently bought an unlocked Captivate from the US, I am in Australia. I put my sim in and all was good. Used it for about 4 weeks and then one day turned it on and said on the screen 'you have entered an incorrect unlock code, please contact service provider.'
Now I never entered a code or even had a chance to enter a code. Now it will not let me use any sim at all or even give me a chance to enter and unlock code, which I have obtained using the one click unlock found in this forum.
The phone is rooted but was working fine when rooted originally.
Can someone help? I can still use phone with wifi just not sim. I have tried a hard reset and that still has the same problem. I have tried flashing it back to an older rom, same deal.
What can I do? I can't even enter an unlock code to get it unlocked.
All sim based devices have a PUK code...contact your provider, ask for it and then try to unlock your phone till it ask for it...then you can reset it...that'd what I would do.

For my bad luck vodafone smart 2:
Initially got SIM unlock code from vodafone, used that code to unlock my phone (smart 2) successfully. Later the phone had system crash problem, sent it to repair, engineer reload the whole system and fixed the system crash. But the phone is locked again. Tried the unlock code again, it is not working any more.
The code is also confirmed by vodafone as correct.
Does anyone here know what is going on with the phone. What I need to do to unlock the phone...
Thank you
Jason

No one has any idea about it???
Sooo,
I bought a used vodafone moto g 1st gen naively expecting to have an easy sim-unlock available in the forums - maybe I haven't found it yet?
The online unlock code vendors I tried have refunded me saying they can't do my IMEI so I'm a bit stuck.
I flashed cyanogen hoping a new kernel would do the magic but I guess the simlock is in a different partition?
I see that a couple years ago http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2903823 some were considering how the sim unlock modified the utag partitions. Does anyone know of further progress, information or solutions to sim unlock a moto g?
Or has anyone found a vendor that has successfully provided a UK vodafone sim unlock code?
P.S. Will I need to revert to the stock rom and kernel to use a sim unlock code?
The official Vodafone UK unlock service should work: https://www.vodafone.co.uk/vodafone-uk/forms/unlock-code-request/
Thanks Professor Gibbins.
Unfortunately the Vodafone unlock process asks for the vodafone number that has been used with the phone. Perhaps it would work if I got a pay-as-you go SIM from them and then provided that number.
Fortunately I tried paying a third unlock code vendor - sim-unlock*.net - waited a couple days and they came through with a valid code. I had started with the cheapest ebay vendors, so maybe they just weren't legit?
In any case, if someone else is in similar circumstances, here's what I learned:
There doesn't seem to be any other solution for sim unlocking the moto G xt1032 than purchasing an unlock code from an online vendor or, in the case of you being the original owner, from the network you purchased the phone from
Having a couple online vendors say they cannot get you the code does not mean another cannot
Neither unlocking the bootloader, installing a different recovery (TWRP), nor flashing a Cyanogen ROM will help Sim unlock the phone
The code provided by the online vendor did not work when I had Cyanogen installed. Fortunately I had created a backup of the vodafone ROM (using TWRP) and restoring their android version/kernel allowed the code purchased online to sim unlock the phone
Finally, the SIM unlock done in the vodafone system was maintained after restoring my Cyanogen install. I hope this means the sim/network lock will not return. It might perhaps resurface if I did a system restore; hopefully then the same unlock code would work again?

Once the unlock is done via an UNLOCK CODE, or via hardware unlocking tools, then it is permanent, so you shouldn't need to worry about this at all, but that said, in case you experience SIM un-/lock issues, then reuse the code when trying to unlock the phone on an OEM-DISTRIBUTED ROM (stock ROM).
Hi Guys, i updated my CSC recently to see if i can get the wifi calling working on T-mobile but unfortunately after that my SIM is locked to carrier. I cannot use any SIM other than T-mobile, did you one faced this issues and have any solution. Please help
Just wanted to confirm that, if you were to put in an AT&T sim, the phone does not recognize the presence of a sim and asks you to insert a sim?
Have you tried changing the CSC back to the original?

If I use a non TMobile sim it is asking for sim unlock code. I don't have problem with TMobile sim
Thanks
Have you tried flashing the original CSC?
Have you contacted T-Mobile for an unlock code?

Have you tried contacting Samsung to see if they will give you a sim unlock code?
In Canada, Samsung was giving out unlock codes based on imei only.

I bought a Moto G 7 from T-Mobile 5 months ago, but now I'm travelling abroad and can't use any local sim card because its sim locked and T-Mobile's won't unlock it for me. Is there any way to bypass that application?
When I insert the new sim card I get a screen saying that I can unlock it remotely (it is denied on that app). All I need to how to type the code to unlock it.

Hello. I`ll use this thread because of I have same issue. I flashed my metropcs with retail firmware and now it prompts me for code. Is it possible to be unlocked in that way?
So, just an update: I managed to replace the moto g power os, so now I have it debranded but it keeps asking for a code to unlock the sim card. I bought the Pantech UCC 2.0 (which was supposed to generate the code) but it didn't work. So now I'm looking for something to generate that code
If anyone got any tool or device that generates that for the moto g 7 power please let me know.

I`m in the same situation. But I`m even not sure that will evade the original unlock app.

After the debranding (installing the original os) the unlock app is no longer avaiable, so I get the default window asking for the code. Thing is I don't have the code

I mean I`m not sure that it is possible this phone to be unlocked by code since originally it is implemented to be unlocked by app.
I do believe it is possible since its the same screen I've seen on so many other apps. The unlock app was a mod Tmobile delivered with the version of the android operating system. When I replaced it, it went back to the default screen, so all I need now is a way to generate that code, it seems
