Hello,
I have an issue with my phone. It was previously working fine and it was unlocked. The battery died and when I turned it back on after charging, the phone now seems to be locked. It asks me a SIM unlock PIN. I contacted the original carrier to get the SIM unlock PIN but the code they gave me is not working. I get " Unlock Network request unsuccesful". I did a factory reset and it's not working either.
I don't know what to do...
I saw a post on here talking about using a lite rom but I don't know if it'll work with my s6.
Thank you for your help

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.

I got a unlock code for my t mobile my touch 3G so I can use another carrier. When I tried to unlock it would not even show me the unlock code screen. I did a factory reset. did not help. I took battery out, out back in and restarted. first with no sim/ next with sim that I got with new carrier. Screen that should come up to unlock sim WILL NOT appear. Can someone please help me unlock sim on my phone? Thanks in advance.
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.
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. Please help, thank you.
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

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...

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.

Greetings,
I have unlocked my Note 5 a while ago and it all worked fine. After some flashing, however, my SIM wont be recognized anymore. Tried everything even reverting to STOCK ROM via Odin but the SIM just wont register. (The APN-Settings are still read correctly though so the Reader should be fine).
I now assume that the SIM Unlock somehow was lost during flashing? Is that possible? How can I check wether or not my device still has the unlock? Should I request unlock service again and if yes, where?
Greetings

I used idone apps to unlock mine. After flashing a note 7 rom. Mine locked up again. And idone team. Stated that my android id had changed. And they updated there system re applied the unlock and good to go. It has been known that some rom flashes will undo unlock. Idone cost $30 American. Little pricey but worth it

Was your unlock service made by software or direct unlock via sprint?
Edit:
Nevermind, saw your last post.
Edit2: Cool, that's the thread I made.
