Hello I have a HTC8x locked by ATT, I am trying to unlock it so I can use it on Metro PCS. I have the unlock code, the prompt to enter the unlock code does not pop up when I insert the sim. Dialing ##782# in the key pad, sends me back to the call history . Is there another way to unlock the phone or get Metro PCS to work ? Thank you
My phone LG optimus f6 is permanently locked,is it possible to unlock it?
When I accessed Unlock page via 2945#*500# to unlock my phone I saw the following five items:
Network Lock...............................your phone is not personalized
Network Subset Lock......................your phone is not personalized
Corporate Lock.......................................your phone is not personalized
Service Provider Lock.................This phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked
SIM/USIM Lock..................................your phone is not personalized.
thanks.
This phone is locked and can not be unlocked.. I bought a phone on ebay plugged my Sim card in booted up and was prompted for an unlock code. I then called my service provider and he said he could not help with that but if I entered the wrong code in 10 times the phone would then ask for a puk Code. Well we completed this but it never asked for the PUK code. Instead, it gives me the message "This phone is locked and can not be unlocked"..
I have called the original service provider and the maker of the phone. reputedly. I still have a locked network and only emergency calls only. I found a website that gave me instructions to get to the screen where you can unlock the network by pressing2945#*850# in the dialer which gives you 5 options;
Network unlock - where I get the same message again
Service provider unlock - your phone is not personalized
Network SubSet- your phone is not personalized
Corporate- your phone is not personalized
SIM/USIM-your phone is not personalized
I really need help LG G# 850
Ps. when I called the original service provider and gave them the IMEI number she said the phone is clean and not blacklisted or any thing. Just FYI
I have a Moto G XT1548 that I want to use with Mint Sim. When I insert the Mint Sim card, I'm not prompted to enter an unlock code - I received a CDMA unlock code from an online service.
I did a lot of searching, but nothing seems to be working for me. I can't even seem to get the msl/spc code for this phone so I can unlock the ##DATA# menu.
Any advice?
I had no problems unlocking the bootloader and installing lineage os 7.1.x. I'm currently back to running the stock osprey sprint 6.0.1.
Thanks.
Anyone?
No advice from anyone here?
I'm currently trying to brute force the ##MSL#. At max, it would take ~30 days.
There currently is no way to unlock a Sprint device without a Sprint SIM unlock code.
Getting your Master Subsidy Unlock code doesn't help on this device, you can't unlock it from there either. In Sprint devices since February 2015, DSU and MSU are two distinctly different things.
Most (not all) online unlock code providers are just scams, avoid them if possible unless they offer guaranteed refunds.
My understanding is that I need the msl so I can set a nv param which will enable the sim card unlock so I can use the code that I bought.
Does this make sense?
If not, what can I do with the phone?

I am not familiar with what your trying to do... but there should be no need to do any "pre-unlocking" in order to use a DSU (Domestic SIM Unlock) code on a Sprint device, but I am not the expert in Sprint either, but @MotoJunkie01 is kind of our resident Sprint guru (well, he is pretty good with all things Sprint anyway) might have some insight here.
I would advise 4 possibilities, and the first depends on a number of factors I have no idea about.
1) Get a friend who has a Sprint post paid service, and has for over a year continuously, to put their SIM in the device and use it for a couple days... then request an official unlock code. This requires that you have a friend you trust with Sprint service and that Sprint will unlock for it's customer's like AT&T (I can unlock any AT&T device with a simple web page submission since I have been a customer for some time). Then it will be GSM unlocked in the US.
2) Sell/give/trade it to someone who has Sprint service
3) Switch your service to Sprint or one of it's MVNO's
4) Use it as a WiFi only media device

I agree 100% with @acejavelin's analysis of your options. There is no known user-end mod or hack with which to perform a Domestic SIM Unlock of the xt1548. So the options he outlined are your only viable choices.
There are some Chinese hackers who have claims of being able to perform a DSU on the xt1548. However, their method has never been proven, nor have their claims been substantively backed up.
If I were to call up Sprint and ask for the MSL, they would give me a 6 digit number, right? ##MSL#?

Yes. I have MSL/SPN numbers on all 3 of my xt1548 devices. Trust me, you can edit all you want with the MSL and you still won't SIM Unlock it. These devices are network locked via encryption in the partition index (/hob, /dhob, /pds). As of now, nobody has figured out a way to decrypt these network restrictions.
The menu used to edit with the MSL on the xt1548 is ##DATA#. You can edit a lot of parameters on this device with the MSL, but unfortunately DSU isn't an option. There are MSL mods to stop data throttling on plans with limited high speed data, for example.

Is your xt1548 Sprint, or one of its MVNOs like Virgin, Boost, FreedomPop, etc? If you have Virgin or Boost, their respective websites will give you the MSL numbers via the activation page. Once you enter your IMEI (MEID Hex), and prompt for activation, you can select "Pay Later with a Refill Card." Your device will be tentatively activated, a phone number assigned, and the MSL code will also be displayed under the "Activation Status" heading. I'm not certain if the same holds true for Sprint prepaid on their website, but it's a possibility.

Yes. This worked. I now have the MSL code.

You can pull some nice mods with the MSL, like hard coding APN settings, network configs, reverse tunneling toggle, bypassing data throttling, etc. Unfortunately, however, due to the encrypted network restrictions, no MSL mods will enable the device to recognize a GSM SIM card.
My phone is broken and all I have is this Boost Mobile LG G Stylo (LS770). I poured through the logs from ADB and eventually got the MSL. I know it works because it lets me access menus now that previously prompted me for a code. Problem is when I put another carriers SIM in it it just says 'Invalid SIM'. I can't figure out for the life of me where to enter the MSL for carrier unlocking. Everything I've read says you need the MSL for unlocking. I was messing around with this Kyocera Kona flip-phone and I got the MSL for that too, but with that phone you can do ##THEMSLCODE# and it will let you edit MDN / MSID. Both the Kyocera and the LG are locked to Boost Mobile and I don't have Boost Mobile anymore. If anyone could point me in the right direction of what carrier unlocking consists of I'd be really appreciative. I am not 100% clear on exactly how mobile networks authenticate or how you tell them to try to communicate with one carrier's network over another.
Any help would be awesome because if I can't get either of these to work in the next week or so I am going to lose my service.
Also, what exactly does DIAG mode do?
