Hey guys,
2 years ago I bought my dad a Tmobile Note 5 and managed to unlock it (3rd party service). The phone worked great until 3 days ago it suddenly show Network Locked error and no signal. I checked the IMEI status @ Tmobile site and it says that the IMEI is good to go... I even contact with the TForce guys @ Facebook , and they told me the same. Before getting despert i decided to enter recovery mode and go for the Hard Reset, and it didnt helped (no i see signal status but still says network locked). Tried to use Device unlock with "permenent unlock" and it says: "Unlock Failed-Unlocked Approved: Mobile device is permanently unlocked".
tried different sim card and didnt work ...
feeling lost & confused... help will be great (even though my dad handles the old G2 quite good )
Thanks!

Hi,
I recently unlocked a Vario III. It was successful in the sense I could insert a new SIM card without it barring me from starting the phone, I do end up getting an error when inserting the new SIM, "Phone Not Allowed MM#6". Does anyone know what that means? I inserted a T-Mobile SIM and while it doesn't give me the error, it doesn't connect to the T-Mobile network either.
I'm mostly curious to know if this is a defect in the phone, network, or the unlocking procedure.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Wow........digging in the graveyard.
Have you check with your carrier to make sure that the sim you are trying to use is enabled for the network and not locked . The sim unlocker, unlocks your phone to use any sim. It does not unlock a locked sim card.
Have you ran the sim unlocker?

I'm in Bolivia. I have a samsung galaxy s, I unlocked with SUperOneClick (for rooting) and sgs tool to unlock it. Then after using a local carrier for about two weeks my phone got the mm#6 error. I was looking for solutions, and then my brother realized that I have to register the phone with the line (IMEI with line). Here in Bolivia exists a law that block phones if they are not registered at someones name and Id. So with nothing to lose, I called assitance of the carrier and register the IMEI I found in the Android menu (About phone>status>IMEI) with the GSM chip/line I have. Wait for 20 minutes and voilá! phone got signal and it's working now. I hope still working from now and on. SO IF YOU HAVE THIS TROUBLE CALL YOUR CARRIER AND REGISTER YOUR PHONE'S IMEI WITH THE LINE YOU ARE USING, IT'S SIMPLE. YOU CAN TRY THAT BEFORE GETTING INTO SOFTWARE STUFF.
HOPE THIS HELP SOMEBODY.
GOOD LUCK!
Hey guys, sorry for the confusing title.
Pretty much I got a Z5 from a friend who changed over to iPhone, it was locked to his network (Telstra) however, it shouldnt have been. as it was on a post paid plan and they dont lock devices on those plans.
Heres where stuff gets weird, so I went to a Telstra shop and asked them to unlock it, and they said it shouldnt be locked. so they checked anyway and said 'strange, it is locked, heres an unlock code'
so I was armed with an unlock code.
When I put in a sim from my carrier, Optus, the icon changes from the 'no sim' icon to just greyed out reception bars.
If I go to the mobile operators screen, it will not select Optus.
The small home icon is on Optus, but when I try and select it it says 'unable to register on network'
I purchased a Telstra $2 sim card to test, insert it and activate it and it appears to work perfectly!
I am not getting a prompt to enter my unlock code, so from what I can see theres nothing I can do D:
I dont have the original receipt so even though the handset is <1 year old I can't go to Sony (can i?) for help.
Heres some info you may ask me for:
status of SIM lock via USSD code:

Are you actually sure it is locked and its not just an unactivated or not working Optus sim? Your Sim Lock image is exactly the same as mine and mine is unlocked...

Hi. I got my s22 ultra sm-s908e unlocked two weeks ago through Amazon. Everything was working fine until today when I realized I couldn't make any calls in the morning. I saw that on the lock screen on top it said network locked emergency calls only. I rebooted my phone and it got into the network again. But around ten minutes later it got back into network locked.
I have tried almost everything. Cleaning my sim card, resetting network settings, even re applying the network configuration message. Nothing.
The only thing I have done to it was flashing the XSG firmware since it was the latest one and in my country (mexico) the unlocked versions usually get updates really slowly.
Tomorrow I'm going to try to do a factory reset but I'm asking first to see if I ****rd up something or if my phone was locked somehow.
Hopefully somone can help me.
Just a suggestion: reflash original firmware for your device and see if it remains locked. Also check current lock status in settings --> Connections --> More Connection settings --> Network Unlock
There is PERMANENT UNLOCK and TEMPORARY UNLOCK. you may have been sold a phone that was not fully unlocked.
Flash original firmware and contact amazon customer service, advise that after updating and doing factory reset the phone appears locked, get a replacement or a refund.
S908E here, USA user, AT&T customer...
They locked my sim card out right after popping it in. Called AT&T and they said the phone is not on their supported list. Only U and U1 models. But they unlocked the sim card for me. This only affects my number, not the others on the same plan. So check your carrier if they also have such a list.
Ok so I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G SM-N986W off line and it was working great for about the first month then whenever I tried to send a text or make a call it would say no network found. So after I did some research I found out the phone had been blacklisted and now I can't get a hold of the person that sole it to me but I'm determined to get this phone working again. Now I'm new to all this tech stuff but I'm slowly getting the hang of it. Then after talking to some of my other tech friend I was told that I can get it unblack listed and so I was able to get an unlock code. Now the phone was originally with Rogers so I put in a sim card that's for Bell and restarted the phone which it should have popped up asking for the 'Sim Network Unlock Pin' and it didn't so then I tried entering in #7465625*638*# and then I tried #7465625*638*my unlock code# to which they both were successful but once I tried the phone again it still didn't work and now I'm completely lost on what to do from here so if anyone has any suggestions or any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.
Thx in advance
Hi,
I bought the phone about a year ago, secondhand from the local ecommerce. The phone still had android 10 so I updated it to 11. It was fine, until a few months later when it started to lose cell service. It could be solved by turning airplane mode on-off or restarting the device back then, but now I can't get service at all.
Pixels isn't officially sold in Indonesia, and it was most likely bought in Japan. I can see the "osaifu keitai" app but also a load of Verizon-related apps/activities. I'm not sure if this is a locked phone, not only because I've unlocked the bootloader easily (like a regular phone), but I also only have "Sim 1 not allowed" or "Phone not allowed for voice" notifications instead of "Contact Verizon" or something like that.
Here's the thing though, I can't get service with almost all major carriers here (Telkomsel, Indosat, XL), but I can with Smartfren, even surf the internet with LTE, but still can't make a call or dial USSD codes. I have done this guide, also manually select a network from settings, 4636, even locked freq band with Network Signal Guru, still no luck and I'm out of ideas now. Whether it's the official build from Google or rooted LineageOS (what I use now), it's always the same.
Please help. Thanks in advance.
Hope I'm not too late to reply.
Hi, I'm currently using Pixel 3a XL that i bought around 4 months ago, "blackmarket" phone is banned in Indonesia so this tend to happen. Government blocks the "blackmarket" phone's IMEI because the IMEI in our phone is made by "injection" or sort (yeah, your provider is connected to your IMEI code, i don't know how it works) and that is illegal because we don't pay tax for the phone. In my experience of buying "blackmarket" phone, i had to send my IMEI image to the seller as for "warranty" purpose, if that didn't happen to you when you were buying the phone, it's better to use third party store to restore/inject new IMEI, don't forget to move/backup your data before doing it.
