Hi my device is from att. I had the unlock code and it was working fine. Phone pba got fried it was repaired by Samsung, phone xame back with same imei and locked to att again.
Now the unlock code wont work. And i ended up too many time. It is asking for a mck code. Apparently att is saying they dont have it neither Samsung.
Anyone?
The MCK is the Master Code Key, which only Samsung has that for their devices.
It resets the counter for the NCK input (the Network Unlock Code), which your provider has.
It's likely that the Samsung support simply doesn't want to get involved, as they might think it could be a stolen phone.
Try providing Samsung support proof of your device purchase, next time you talk to them.

Have you find out the methods?
Hello and greetings to all of U. I am from the Netherlands and I have an issue with my Samsung GT E1190.
I tried to unlock it but after a few attempts the phone was frozen. A MCK unfreeze code is necessary to make it work again.
My provider was T-Mobile and they can't help me, so I hope that there is someone that could help me provide me the correct unlock codes and the M UNFREEZE CODE (Master code)
Who has a generator to help me or other suggestions?

T-mobile Netherlands
Thanks in advance for your help and efforts !

I've got my TILT security unlocked with, new HARDSPL and have a cooked ROM and working well in the US.
I'm going to Nuremberg mid December. Is my phone ready to accept a prepaid sim that I buy over there? Or do I need to do more unlocking?
Thanks
you need to sim unlock
I think it should work. No worries there.
Really,
after all the mods and unlocking I've done "sim unlock" didn't get rolled in there at some point..wow.
So, can I just call AT&T to get an unlock code or have all my modifications messed up going that route?

sometimes they will give it to your if you call them and say you are going out of the country (like you really are) otherwise you can extract the code by your self. You can learn how to do that here. I've used it before, works great.
Well, after reading of the trials and tribulations of those who have attempted this I think it would be easier if I just called them and got the code. The questions now is, since I'm running 6.1 and all the latest and greatest, must I reflash 6.0 and spl's and all that to even be able to call them and get the code or will their code work no matter what I have loaded.
Damn these phones have some heavy security measures to keep folks from screwing with them. 1) have to have a hard spl so that we can flash without getting our spl's replaced everytime by the ROMS we are trying to load. 2) Security unlock needs to be done or we get stuck with radios we might not want to keep 3) sim unlock so we can run a different carriers SIM.
What else is in these things to trip us up...??

Downgrading to 6.0 to unlock?
you wont need to downgrade to 6.0 to put the code in. The unlock code they provide is attached to IMEI number and would unlock the regardless of what software you have installed.
Thanks, cingular is emailing me the code....Last time I did this with my blackjack it only took a few days.

We received your request for the device unlock code for the HTC IMEI ***********. If the equipment was purchased outright from an AT&T store, you will need to fax the receipt to 217-612-7800 ATTN: Device Unlock Team and include the name on the account, cellular number, and the IMEI number. The receipt must show the “full retail price” was paid for the equipment. If the receipt shows a discount was received for the equipment, we will not release the unlock code. Please review the receipt prior to faxing in the receipt to avoid a delay in processing your request. Please enter *#06# from the handset to view the IMEI number.
Thank you,
Device Unlock Team
figured tey might give you trouble.... you could call and complain, but it will probably take just as long as the unlocker and you may get nowhere.
Hello, I have AT&T and my friend has T-Mobile. He upgrades so often that I buy his 'old' phones and he calls T-Mobile and gets the unlock code for me, then I give these phones to my wife so she can use it on AT&T and have WiFi, but not have to have a data plan. Works great. Plus, I can play around with Android, which I like.
Question - I just purchased his 'old' (from June/2010) Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant. He called T-Mobile and after about a day, they sent the unlock code. I went through the necessary steps (verified IMEI #, powered down phone, put AT&T sim in, power phone on, received code screen). I put the code in, and it said that it was an invalid code.
So we called Tmo customer service again, and verified the code and everything, then tried it again. Said the same thing.
I don't want to try it again as I am afraid it will brick the phone. Am I missing something? Do you have to put a # or * or - or something else in with the code?
Thank you in advance.
Edit: I should mention that I also downloaded the Samsung Galaxy S xda developers unlock tool for Mac to find the code in the phone. I tried the non-root version, and it did not find a code. I would have tried the root version, but I have no idea what that means.

I have exactly the same problem on my T959, hack software could not find the unlock code on the phone. Paid unlock service for Provider and manufacturer code still did not work.
Have you found a solution? Are you using the stock ROM or was it ever changed?
Same problem... I cannot get a code...
I am told that the device is not found, even though it shows that the Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate is connected. Also during the generate the unlock code, the program could not find the nv_data.bin.
Could you tell me what I am doing wrong, and why it does not look for this file on my phone?
go to some forum to seek way out .
way out, waiting too
Same here I ccan't get my phone to unlock with Tmobile provided code.
Anyone solve the problem? Mine don't work too.
it would be wonderful to figure this out
fix
did your friend ever change the rom on the device? I had the same problem on my captivate. The unlock codes for all of the galaxy s series are built into the phone and simply hidden. If the firmware has been changed (ie, upgraded to 2.2 or flashed another rom) then the codes are altered.
sucks. but now you have to go to youtube and search "unlock ____" and it is no trouble on a pc.
i called at&t and they gave me a code 25086800 and it did not work. i went online and odered a code and i was given this same code again, my money had to be refunded. the online sellers said my phone cant be unlocked cos manufacturer gave at&t a wrong unlock code. can anyone here please help me get an app or way to calculate it from the imei. motorola said there's nothing they can do about it cos at&t is responsible for unlock codes. i never seem to run out of retry,s when inputing unlock code. any help or idea is welcome. my phone is a motorola flipside mb508.

Hello XDA-Developers,
I am at my wits end. I can not for the life of me find a Sim Unlock code for my Samsung Note 3 N900W8.
I will start from the beginning... I purchased this phone from a woman who is the manager of a telecommunications in London ON. She listed the phone on Kijiji as "Brand new in box, unlocked!". I met her at a kiosk for my carrier to test the phone on one of their sim cards. It turned out the phone was sim locked. She seemed nice enough and genuinely surprised when it came up sim locked. She said she had received the phone as a promotional gift from her company, but didn't like the size of it and wanted to use her existing phone. She asked me if I would prefer to have her get it unlocked or she would take 50$ off of our originally agreed price to put towards the unlocking cost. I opted to get it unlocked myself, my mistake lol.
First I had to find out which carrier it was locked to so through a process of elimination I figured out it was locked to Bell. I contacted Bell and asked to get a sim unlock code from them. They said that they have no record of my phone in any of their data bases and that I should contact Samsung and confirm that my phone is locked to Bell. I contacted Samsung who confirmed that my phone is locked to Bell. I contacted Bell again and they put me through to tech support. He was a nice guy, but didn't give me the answer I wanted lol. He said that because my IMEI is not in any of their data bases that there's no way for him to give me a code. He suggested flashing a different kernel and it would remove the sim lock? I'm sorry I am not that knowledgeable when it comes to this stuff. Anyways, I have taken the phone to 3 reputable phone repare shops in my area and tried cellun******.net. All have said that they can't find an unlock code?
You guys are my last resort, any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thank You!
Hey there, I want to sim unlock this Gs8 I got from Sprint, Model: Sm-G950U , Software version: G950USQS2BQL1, I received an unlock code but was not able to input the code because it just said sim error contact sprint immediately, Unlocking by sprint isn't a choice as they extorted money out of me, I really want my galaxy s8 to be in service again any Idea where to start? Any help will be much appreciated , I come from a background of good software knowledge so other approaches are good too.
Sprint extorted money out of you?
Extortion is illegal in this country...
Does your phone asks for codes or not?
If it doesn't ask for code you can try the following 3 methods, however, they are not 100% guarantee to work:
Method #1: Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press #7465625*638*# Once prompted for code, enter the 8 digit Unlock Code.
Method #2: Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: #7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE#
Method #3: Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: #0111*UNLOCKCODE#
If none of these work, also check if your phone's IMEI is clean and not reported or blacklisted by Sprint.
Sprint phones are usually unlocked one of two ways and neither has anything to do with a code. One is via Sprint with an OTA thing. The other is via root + a 3rd party tool like z3x, Octopus, or something similar.

Need to SIM unlock Sprint galaxy s8 (also fear it may be "black listed" unpaid lease)
I bought the phone from someone and thought it would work but I was trusting instead of smart.. Should've checked it out first. Anyways im negative a couple hundred $$ and I would love if some one would be able to help guide me through unlocking the SIM and if necessary rooting etc. To make it work for my Metro PCS account. In short I need to be able to I assume "SIM unlock" my S8 and hope it'll just be ready to pop my metro SIM into it and it works. Any advice? Will it work if I can just unlock it and use my metro SIM? Or since its an the lease hadnt been fully paid will that be a problem... Ive checked on a couple sites that let you see the IMEI number and if its black listed but it isn't... Please help.

Correct. It IS an advertisement - and not a very good one. He obviously has no knowledge of phones whatsoever if he thinks that Sprint devices use codes
I too have a Sprint phone which I wanted to unlock with the help of information here on the site. Since you won't be able to use unlock codes, and also bcause when I called Sprint they wouldn't help me -told me to contact the seller of the phone to have it unlocked, I was desperate for any unlocking method. Hard to find a working one and didn't want to waste too much time (old Galaxy S5 was already at it's last breath) I made contact with one of the unlockers here on XDA and one was able to unlock it remotely for me. I did pay $15 but with the crappy internet I have and since most unlocking sites are asking $39 for unlocking S8 then I really didn't mind this $15. Took well over a few hours to do since I had to download combination file for my phone which took a while. It's unlocked now thanx to vosi7en here at xda. I do have 1 problem now and that's tethering.....I don't have the option to do any hotspots. Anyone have an idea? I can't root yet cuz I'm on latest Oreo now.

I'm not sure what a "tmobile for vzw sim" is. But you might need to remove the Sprint bloatware in order for it to work properly
