Hello.
I bought D2G from ebay last month.
It was locked and has bad ESN.
And I unlocked D2G using turbo sim card from ebay.
That item number is 200539432676 and you can search it just type "no cut unlock sim card".
And maybe you can unlock it follow these steps.
0. You need prepare local carrier's sim card, another local phone, D2G
1. Put your sim card in local cellphone and turn on. After it receive signal, pull out the battery and your sim card. (Do not turn off the cellphone before pull out the batt. and sim)
2. Put your sim card on locked D2G with turbosim.
3. Turn on D2G and change the network mode (if you need) and set up the APN
4. Check the data roaming
Settings - Wireless & networks - Data manager - Data delivery - Data roaming
After that, My D2G work with roaming mode. I can use calling, text messaging and 3G internet service thru GSM/UMTS mode.
(I'm living in South Korea and local carrier provide wcdma hsdpa service.)
But my unlocked D2G have two problems.
1. When I use other local sims with turbosim, it's not work. I guess this turbosim
has compatible problem. (Maybe newer sim will not work.)
2. I only can receive incoming call and message(text and MMS) when my D2G was connected on "H"(Hsdpa). I cannot receive that things when signal turned to "3G".
I cannot use D2G for main phone.. Is there any way to connect HSDPA only? I tried to find some apps for do that, but there is no apps for it. If anyone know about the way, Please help me!
Thanks for read my post and please understand my poor english skill
TurboSIM is not the way to go. There are problems with incoming calls not going thru, losing service every now and then/etc
You should really try to unlock the phone by code. Have you tried online unlockers? You may be lucky your phone not to be from the locked down ones and to unlock with ease. Give it a try!

I already got code from Ebay seller, and it dose not work.
And now I'm in South Korea so turbosim is only one way unlock it.
And I guess I can use my D2G with turbosim if I can connect Hsdpa only.
Is there any way to do that?
Hello

The activation bit is for the sim card, I have a phone locked to O2 and what happens is you register the sim with them and then they enable it to use their network which is why until then it will say no network.
It is also the reason why if you put any other sim in the phone, and that sim has not yet been used to make calls, you get the same error.
As for the personalisation message on the unlock menu, I am unsure what you mean by the lock menu. I assume you mean the screen you see before you unlock your phone to use it each time, and did a search on google which produced no results but I would guess that if you are using a custom rom the message means you either have not personalised your screen or that the option is there to personalise it but has not been used.

unlock menu - where you enter the network unlock code.
i'm trying to use my 3 uk sim, its been on contract for over 2 years.
I know that a lot of unlocked phones wont work with 3, if you google 3 unlock you will find a lot of people have problems and some unlock companies even specify they wont unlock to 3 network but if it does the same with non 3 cards or only works with one operator perhaps the unlock was only partial?
I did a search for pedsonalisation and all I found were various unlock sites saying that a sucessful unlock needs you to have a personalisation menu.
My previous android phone had a device lock and a sim lock, could it be your unlock has only partially worked? Is it only one provider whose network you can access?

you're being really helpful so i give thanks.
i have tried o2 and vodafone sims in the phone also but to no avail... always says emergency only or no network, with both showing no signal.
would flashing the original orange rom back then retrying the lock code help? as of right now when i go to the unlock menu and click network lock it prompts a message stating my phone has no personalization.
sorry missed out a little bit of info.
the only network that works is orange, it gets full signal and works perfect, but i'd really like to use my contract sim instead of pay as you go extra on orange.
I've done some more searching and found that on a lot of phones that personalisation message means the phone unlock has failed and that after a successful unlock it should say something like "network lock has been personalised".
You do only get a certain number of tries so don't enter the code over and over, if you are sure you entered it correctly it means the code you got just didn't work (I had that when unlocking my previous LG and had to buy a code from somewhere else as the first one didn't work at all).
I am not recommending this site, it's just one that explained how to unlock so am posting a link in case it helps, but the site says you need to enter two codes on an Optimus 3D. One is for network lock and one for service provider lock, I know that some people on the xda forums have unlocked their phones so I hope they will jump in and help solve your problem as really all I can do is google for the bits I am unsure of but it would seem your code did not work, or that you need two codes and only had one.

just wondering if i could post a video link here to show how it happens, if not, mods can you delete this link:
http://videobam.com/YqMQH
might need to tilt head/computer screen
that was with orange sim, without orange sim it shows no signal and no network... its running thais rom.
heres a video of it using another sim.
when i start the phone with other sim, it prompts whether i'd like to use mobile data or not, but no connection!

Well having watched your videos I can clear up something, I think.
I had searched for terms based around "no personalisation available" which means your code did not work but searching for the actual message in the video "your phone is not personalised" produced completely different results.
That specific message means the option you are clicking on is not locked (not personalised by your provider) at least according to various pages I have found including a few on other well known Android forums so if that's correct your unlock did actually work and that is why the message appears.
The page at http://www.cpkb.org/wiki/LG_enter_NCK_code also mentions this code and its cause.
If the other sims you try offer you data or mobile but do not connect, yet you can make calls, then you need to set up your apn for that provider. The apn tells your phone how to connect to your provider.
This is really easy to do but you will need a free app called Apn global from the android market at https://market.android.com/details?id=osatek.apn.global obviously you need it on your device which can be done in various ways, possibly easiest if you can connect via wifi and go to the market.
Install and run it, pick the name of your provider (the provider whose sim you wish to use) and it will create the mms and internet settings for you. Then mobile data should work.
Alternatively if you have an android phone which you already use that sim on, install to that phone and choose the apps backup option which will backup your exact settings to sd card so you can import them to another android phone.
If you have other providers apns on there you will probably need to tell the phone to use your new settings. Simply go to your phones settings menu, find the wireless settings option and click it then scroll down the screen to "mobile networks" and click that. Then click "Access point names" and choose the desired provider. I have three on my phone and you can always revert to any other settings if you change provider later.
The apn app is very useful, I have used it on a few phones, it has a large list of providers worldwide so you should find your choice of provider there and hopefully that will solve your problem.

Thanks for the reply dave, but I have yet more bad news sadly.
I can't actually make calls, as shown in the second video it shows no network/emergency calls only.
It's hard to believe no-one else has this issue.
I have owned lots of android in the past(started with g1, then hero, then jumped to zte blade then galaxy 1, now this) none of them posed any difficulty removing network lock.
Its such a strange problem that a search of this forum shows at least one other person had this issue but no-one could help.
Sorry if this sounds stupid but have you gone into the settings menu on your phone (Settings/Wireless and Networks/Mobile Networks/) and chosen the "select your network provider" option?
There you can force your phone to use a specific network provider.

I have with error "Unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later."
I don't think I can help, though I did some more googling and on the cyanogen mod forums someone posted a similar problem....
I've been using the nightly builds of CM7 since they came out and have had no network problems. I then installed version 7.0 [stable] when it came out, and just yesterday I installed version 7.0.3 [stable].
I have had no signal since, and whenever I try and select my network from the Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Operators, it comes up saying "Unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later.".
It is nothing to do with my network provider, as my brother's phone works fine and he is on the same network as me.
I am on Three Mobile.
Please help!
RESOLVED: I just wiped all userdata and reflashed CM 7.0.3, I'm a very impatient person

If you fail to get a solution this option may help but probably best as a last resort. One thing I did notice when watching your second video is that you have the wireless on, this will stop your phone connecting to any providers mobile data so at least as far as mobile data goes you won't be able to use it when connected to wifi and would have to switch wifi off in order to test the mobile data connection.
Also I know that on my O3D my wireless sometimes seems to cause my phone signal to switch off with the little x. I doubt that is the cause of your problem but may be worth trying to connect with no wifi.

I'm going to try reinstall the original orange rom that came with it and downgrade baseband, if that fails to work after a full reinstall using lgflashtool I'll have to try get another phone.
thanks for all your help dave, i really appreciate it!
A popular unlock site says the only steps needed to unlock to any network are...
1. Input a non accepted simcard
2. Phone will display enter “Sim network unlock PIN” or “Enter Network Unlock Code”
3. Input the 8 or 16 digit unlock code that was emailed to you
4. Phone is unlocked!
If you did this, which you obviously have, your phone is unlocked and the problem must be something else but if you're going to flash a copy of the orange rom you might want to check first with one of the more knowledgeable users here that the rom won't replace some of the locks you already removed.
I checked around and from what I have found it should be as easy as put the new providers apn on your phone, select their settings from mobile networks menu for provider and also mobile data and that should work.
One orange customer who unlocked a different model android phone found that all they had to do was flash the radio only (not the rom), not sure how you do that but there are probably guides on xda.
Dave
I flashed the original orange rom and after flashing the froyo basrband it suddenly worked. Flashed gb again and it still worked, seems i just hsd to reflash basebsnd/radio like you said.
Thank you so much

Hi pauliebb,
I have the same problem that you had. I bought a used unlock O3D vodafone ES to gift to my brother, he lives in south america and he told me that the mobile does not recognize his SIM. What did you exactly do you did to reflash the baseband firmware???
I supposed thet the mobile is unlock because it shows the same message when enter to the unlock options "phone is not personalised"
Regards
the same problem
i have the same problem, i have phone from plus gsm poland, phone is not personalizet but read only sim card from plus, diffrent card not read and show info no sim card, help me how resolve this problem?
I am from India, using HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE in GSM/UMTS Mode. I tried this fake id method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986346, but after I did nothing seems to change, so i did it like maybe three times. In the third time the phone stays in a mode something like the temproot mode where the screen becomes unresponsive and I only have the status bar on top, I can go to settings, but wasn't able to connect to my phone network carrier, only able to connect to WiFi. So, when that happens I tried flashing a stock rom 2.17.605.2 RUU http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1770978 using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2214653 method, I am able to flash the phone, but the problem with the network connecting is not fixed, so now I am unable to use my phone for call, text, any services except Wifi connection. And when I search for any available network I could see the list, but when I click my carrier it said the SIM card is unable to register to the network. So I remove my SIM and insert in another phone, it seems my SIM card has failed to register, so I thought it may be my SIM so I took another SIM card and insert it in my phone, still I cannot connect to the network. Is there a way to solve this? What can be the cause of this?
Hello guys, i have an xperia z3, when i insert the sim card its says "no service available" but when i insert the sims the cellphone recognize it! it reboot everytime i insert or remove the sim card, its really weird, i tried to do it by APN, but nothing, then i decided to download 2 apps that gives u sim card info. I dont know how to upload images here, but it shows the name of the operator, the sim serial number and says network state "In service" but Network type "unknown" and in the other app says service state "service powered off" , i would like to upload images but the page says i cant upload external links...could u please help with this? ty.
reset network settings worked for me
I know this thread is very old, but I've recently run into the same issue and found a solution. In the settings, there is an option for "Reset Network Settings". This will remove all your wifi networks and any downloaded access point settings, but fixed the issue for me. Hope this helps any future solution seekers!
LG V50 Sprint no calls and sms?
I got this phone unlocked and updated working fine with LTE data connection with my provider here ooredoo Algeria fast and stable.
The problem itt showes phone signal is full but when I dial a number it says "no sim card"
+ sms is not working altogether as well.
Any help fix / pointers would be greatly appreciated
Hi!
The same thing happened to me, I couldn't send messages or call until I activated the automatic network mode, otherwise it wouldn't let me call.
I hope I have been helpful with this.

The same problem happened to me, i tried everything..
The only thing that fixed it is:
1. Insert a Sprint SIM card (in my case it came with the device when I baught it. I never had service from sprint and I lived overseas)
2. Select settings >> Network and Internet >> Network settings reset.
3. That is it!
Please note that this method only worked when I inserted Sprint Sim card, it did not work with my actual sim card..
After the settings were reset, I removed Sprint SIM, and inserted the other SIM, and it worked perfectly!

This worked once for me, then I had to remove my tray to insert an sd-card and didn't work anymore... network settings struggle to reset (will take 10-20s and then crash out) what could it be? I'm using a heicard and discussing the procedure in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlocking-lg-g8-sprint-bad-esn.4092771/page-2
UPDATE: if you still get the "SIM not provisioned for voice" message, do a backup, then full restore of the phone, then repeat the above steps. You should now be able to make phone calls, but not connect to LTE. Download an app called "AddAPN" from the play store and manually save the Access Point Name for your carrier (yours will be different from mine, but I'll add it as reference, it's in italian, but you should get the gist, relevant steps are 10 through 14: https://www.helpforsmartphone.com/coopvoce/it/lg/g6/android-8-0/guides/22/Configurare-Internet-LG-G6)
with my sprint lg v50 and i can "Add APN" already.
i dont need an app
@en11gma Are you on android 9 or 10,and what is your security patch level?
