Hello !
I am trying to unlock my LG Q6 (LG-M703) , currently locked to Koodo. I already received and unlock code from koodo, but even if I insert a new sim card (for Virgin network by example), the cell phone never prompt me for the unlock code. I tried a couple of codes found on the web, but no success ! Does anyone has a clue ? Usually it's quite simple to unlock a cell phone , but LG seems to be quite hard.
Thanks

Dear friends,
I searched this website and didn't find an answer - PLEASE help!
I have an LG optimus F3 vm720, bought it in the US for 99$. I think it was at T-Mobile or Sprint
but the carrier is Virgin Mobile - that's for sure, as I pay them 30$ per month, the sim-card is "Sprint"]
(how is that possible?)
I am traveling to Berlin and hoped to unlock it (although the cheap, 99$ was domestic only, exc.
Is it possible?
I could not find the IMEI, could not unlock it. Most YouTube vidoes suggest to hit *#06# - my phone does not react to this.
Can anyone please help me unlock it? Should I root it first (hope I would know how to do this).
It is a nice phone, but now I'm so lost I wished I'd bought something that works in Europe(
Thank you for any tip, suggestion and help!!!
Regards
So I did a little searching I found
Your Service Code is 2945#*659#
You might be able to find your IMEI in there some where?
I found that from this YouTube link exsplaning how to unlock the sim (Mind you I am not suggesting you use the site in the video)
also be careful to not change anything in your hidden menu as this can cause problems
Hope this helps.
Nop, but you are great
It did not work. Nothing happens when i enter 2945#*659# .
But people like you make me love human kind again, anyway! Thank you so much!

can You take the battery cover off your phone and take a picture of sticker ?
Yes, please find the attachment.
Swappa says you are on Sprint PCS (subsidiaries under the Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile, and Assurance Wireless) so I'm guessing that Sprint allows cross usage of Sim Cards?
How to enter code for LG Optimus F3 VM720?

You will se a secret MENU - choose Network or Network Lock,

or

So see if you can get into your secret menu with adding your verents if so then you can go foward with searching for the unlock code.
I verified this works with other phones (my lg g flex) by puting in the first set of numbers and then my phones model number (959) so it should work for you... if not then you might need to reset to stock.

If anyone has experience unlocking a WIND samsung galaxy s6 to use with other carriers I would appreciate it. I have purchased an unlock code for the phone but was unsuccessful in unlocking the network so I can use it on rogers.
The phone is factory restored, not rooted, and running android version 5.0.2 (product code: g920wzdaglw). I have codes for the network, provider and subprovider and tried them all without any success. I do not know how many unlock attempts the phone has remaining before its hard locked but I have tried 4 times. I also have a defreeze code.
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I did not find anyone else having issues unlocking their phones except with T-mobile. I can provide any other information if that helps.
Thank you for the help.
You should go to the shop where you bought your phone and ask for assistance to unlock it. I also don't think that any XDA member or developer here can magically unlock your cellphone. They don't have 'generators' for this purpose, and if, probably it's not allowed to give any unlock codes here.
EDIT: It seems that 10 times wrong code will lock your phone. Be careful.
Thank you for the reply. The phone was purchased second hand. I did attempt to contact wind but it seems the person I spoke with could not help me but maybe I should try once more..
I do not expect xda users to know the codes for my phone. I understand the codes are in a database. However, I am curious if anyone had success unlocking their wind samsung galaxy s6 and if so was there a "different" procedure to unlock it. I am aware previous galaxy phones have slightly modified unlock methods and therefore that might be the case here for my wind samsung galaxy s6.
It is good to know that the phone has 10 unlock attempts however I may have to try reselling the phone to someone who is already on wind rather then risk hard locking the phone.
Take care.
So I was able to finally unlock my Wind samsung galaxy s6 The method was fairly simple and just required inputting the defreeze code first and then the network code.
Here is the link to xda thread where I found the instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/figured-how-to-unlock-gs6-t3086911
Here is the actual procedure I followed (copied directly from the thread linked above) for those interested.
1) Restart the phone with the new SIM Card inserted
2) You should be prompted for an unlock code
3) Enter this DEFREEZE code: xxxxxxxx and press unlock
4) The phone will display “Network Unlock Request Unsuccessful”
5) Enter the NETWORK Code: XXXXXXXX and press unlock
6) Phone should display “Network Unlock Successful”
Hello all, i am trying to get my phone unlocked currently its locked to Telus Canada & Model ALCATEL ONE TOUCH IDOL 3 5.5 6045I .
Have tried 4 different sites selling unlock codes. They all provided me similar codes, one company provided 4 different codes and some 1 or 2 but the codes are same.
cellunlocker.net
Oneunlock.com
guaranteedunlock.com
canadagsm.ca
None of the codes worked, i have now 4 tires left. Tried factory reset before entering the code, have made sure that IMEI number, Provider ID and image Mapping (Secro / SRO) was provided. I even received SPCK code also but phone only asks for SIM lock code.
Anyone have any idea what could be going on, i am using windmobile sim to unlock it. This phone has never been activated on the Rogers, it was BNIB.
Thanks for your time.
Have you tried any eBay unlockers? I found this one: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Unlock-Code-...116098?hash=item4ae66766c2:g:HuoAAOSw~1FUXz7Q
Thanks for the link, but they do not support this phone. Got an email back from them. Thanks
Did you ever get this resolved? I have a similar problem. All the sites I request an unlock code from give me a server error. Telus can't find the IMEI in their system although the UPC verifies it is a Telus device .
I used this site for my Bell Idol 3: http://www.mobifree.ca/

Usually, the vendor you purchase from will give you instructions. They're nearly the same for all phones. You put in a SIM card from another carrier and put in the code, or sometimes you have a number sequence first
sent from a phone running a ROM

Hi! Thanks for the help. I realised that you need to have your Wifi / Data turned on in order for the pop-up asking for the codes appear.
Although the codes that I bought didn't really worked...
I have never had to have wifi or data turned on for an unlock code to pop up. I've unlocked plenty of phones, including 2 Idol3 phones. All I need to do was power up the phone with a foreign sim inside.
hi Lg stylo H 631 t-mobile
ihave code for unlock network but when inter 2945#*631# show nothing
try device unlock for t-mobile to unlock till me is faild
how how can enter code to unlock ??
i have to code NCK & SPCK
You should have an app to request a carrier unlock. If the T-Mobile and the MetroPCS devices are essentially the same I don't see why this would not be the case. My MetroPCS LG G Stylo has the app on the home screen in the folder which contains all of my MetroPCS apps. I've actually been fighting with support about getting mine unlocked prior to the 90 day policy for use when I am in Germany.
I have problems unlocki ng my phone i bought someone off craigslist with a lock. On it cani get some help to google unlock this acct so i can activate my phone
Good luck trying to unlock the Style H631 with T-Mobile. They are a bunch of lying manipulating thieves. My mother bought the phone from T-Mobile 2 years ago, she was paying $65.00 a month ($15.00 included for phone payment). I told her to go with H2O, Cricket or AT&T, which have he best reception where we live. I told her to unlocked network her Stylo, we tried by codes by purchasing from online unlock companies, didn't work. I told her to contact T-Mobile and asked for an unlocked code since she was with them for 2 years and never miss a payment. They told her that she needed to pay the remainder of the phone in order for them to give them an unlock code. She did, it was around $120.00. At the time, they gave her a receipt and gave her a number to call. She called and told her that it can't be done because she already unlocked 2 phones in one year, and they only unlock one phone per year. It doesn't make sense, it was her first time unlocking a phone with T-Mobile, she then replied to them, if you can only unlock one phone per year, then how come it shows 2 phone in one year?
If you are with T-Mobile, you are simply out of luck, and the app to unlock is just an app that will display "device can't be unlock" or something along those lines. Best of luck.
Hi guys I want to unlock my phone so I can use a different network SIM.
My network provider EE unlock team said they can't get it at the moment and they will contact the manufacturer.
I've asked Motorola and they don't have any codes to give.
Does anyone have an easy way to unlock Motorola Moto G 5g plus?
You can try flashing an unlocked version of the firmware, i think i took mine from motostockrom.
It voids warranty tho
I got one from Cricket Wireless, and I have the same issue. No one could unlock it.
I also faced the same problem EE Network Unlock. You can get the network to unlock supported from here https://unlockplan.com/
I got a good solution from there.
