Did you SIM unlock? Or did you just Super CID unlock? They are very different.

Unlocking problem

Hi,
I've recently purchased a at&t tilt off of ebay the guy promised me the unlock code after numerous emails he finally gave one, tried it twice and told him it didn't work so he gave me another one tried it twice still didn't work finally he said that he's going to get the true code from at&t he gave it to me but that one didn't work so now I've tried 5 times.....did i permanently locked the phone? is there still a chance of unlocking this phone?
Please help

u need to follow the steps in the link that elypsar posted.

If those steps I have followed them but not it leaves me since 3 attempts of unfreezing have put and single it lets make calls of emergency as desdues can be the solution to do several hard spl and cid unlock if káiser it does not respond thanks

@bananascom: If you mean that your SIM card got locked due to 3 wrong PINs then it's not the Kaiser at fault, you need to unblock the SIM with the PUK code you have received with it or call your operator.
If it's not that then try to write some better English as I don't thing anyone understood the problem...

Good the one is not sim is to káiser that is blocked since the 3 attempts were those of the code of the operator who could do The one of the language is that I am of Spain and I use a translator to write I feel thanks for your aid

Okay if you had done reading first hand you wouldn't be in this problem right now ... but alas many of us, including me, don't bother reading until the hammer falls on our heads. Take this as a lesson and read before you do anything to your device in the future.
As far as phone being locked ... there are two types: sim and than keylock. If sim than you need the puk code just as you have been told before. If you forgot keylock code than you need to hard reset the device as i don't know of any other way of reteriving that info.

No is el sim is el operator de la Kaiser at&t thanks

ook, dont know what that means, but I have contacted a member that speaks spanish and I hope he will drop by and solve your problem in spanish(maybe).

Your SIM Is locked. CALL your service provide to get them to unlock THE SIM, then use this to unlock the rest of your phone:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361039
Done.

Still locked
Now i've installed a hardspl read somewhere it's supposed to prevent your kaiser from being bricked and did the kaiser customruu but now i'm trying to sim unlock the tilt but every time i open the kaiserunlocker.exe it give me an application error and when i try to use the kaiserunlocker2.exe it restarts the computer..... what I'm i doing wrong? or is there a version i should look out for?

How to remove PIN on my Kaiser

Hi all,
I've just Recieved a second hand Kaiser. I can use it w/o any issue but the PIN and PIN2 are not default ones, I have no idea what they are. (thank god the "Require PIN when phone is used" option is not selected)
now there is only one attempt remaining and I feel that if I got it wrong, sth horrible will happen(permanent lock or sth else?). I know that if I dont touch the PIN settings, nothing will happen, but I can't make sure that my friends won't, accidently. Simply flash a new ROM or hardrest doesn't help removing the PIN~
Could someone tell me how to remove the old PIN plz? help!!!! Thanks a lot.

Try a reflash of the ROM; i've heard of this on the ATT forums and if i recall correctly, a reflash fixed things.

PIN relates to a SIM card NOT the phone or ROM. If you enter wrong PIN code 3 times in a row, the SIM card will be burned out.
Only the service provider (aka carrier) can give you the PIN. In case you don't know the old PIN, they will give you PIN2 to reset.
Another easy method: ask your carrier replace the SIM card then they will give you the PIN and of course, you can change it to your desired number.

@Kareem
Thanks for your kind suggestion but I've tried reflash ROMs and I think that doesn't help.
@Nghiem
Ok, that explains everything. I'm just too worried that my phone may get locked. I think now I can stop worrying, can't I?

I'm currently using the O2 PaynGo with free text bolt ons. Do I still get the free texts after replacing with a 3G sim?

Lei

If you log into your AT&T account, they offer support tutorials for your particular devices, one of which refers to sim/puk unlock. check it out.

No Service- HELP!!!

I bought new TyTN II, and when I insert my sim card, he doesn't recognize it, in the top of the screen is text NO SERVICE. In the start/settings/connesctions/connection setup, there is no my country to select, or my operater. Does the new cooked ROM may solve my problem? Please help...

Does it say no sim card, or just no service. If it doesn't recognize the sim card. then it is probably sim locked. If it recognizes the sim card, but just offers no service, it could just be your connection settings.

Do as this thread goes it will do all you need

Hello,
I didn't want to start a new thread, because this one is somehow connected with my problem
So here it is:
I've been using my phone for about a month, it used to show full network ect. My friend gave me an anthenna for gsm mobiles (well, sometimes it didnt work properly when I was in the basement i.e.) so i tried it. Worked perfectly, except it was sticking out. So i thought that I don't want to use it and disconected it. Since then it shows no service, sometimes "1 dot" in network display. Tried hard reset - didn't work. When i put the anthenna back, it shows full network again.
Please, tell me, what should I try.
Thank you in advance

I seem to recall reading somewhere here that once you put in an external antenna, something gets tripped and the phone will only work with an external antenna from that point on.
Sorry -- don't recall any details. Try searching.

[Q] I can't unlock my phone!

Hi guys. I have a problem a bit similar to the ones I read earlier but my problem is that I entered my PIN code and phone didn't recognize it. Now I should have an option to enter PUK code and everything would be fine, but I don't have that option. My screen says: "Take a look at the manual or contact with your service provider" (something like this, my phone language is Polish so I may translate something not correctly). I did take a look at the manual but there was nothing that could solve my problem so I'm asking you, members of xda community, is there any way to solve this problem without taking phone to my GSM provider?

If you are using custom rom try full wipe maybe it would hep
Sent from my X8 using XDA App

It didn't work, but it turn my phone language into english so I can write what it says:
"SIM card is PUK-locked."
"Please see the User Guide or contact Customer Care."

If you inputted a incorrect PIN for too many times the SIM card will lock up and require the PUK to reset the PIN failure counter - that much the phone is actually doing right.
If you don't have a possibility to enter the PUK then all you can do is to see a service point of your mobile operator to have the SIM card resetted.
There's pretty much nothing you can do as that's a security function of the GSM card and not the phone or the OS.
EDIT: Any chance entering **05*<PUK Code>*# or **05*<PUK Code>*<New PIN>*<New PIN confirm># works? (in case you can get to the dialer)

I can get to the dialer, but I didn't know that I can enter PUK there, I'll give it a try and write either it worked or not.

The second method worked! Thanks! When I use this first method it says that is either connection problem or MMI code is invalid.
