Where did you get this sim unlock? Was it for this particular sim your trying in your HD?
reply
i get the code from: http://www.nextgenserver.com, because my friend told me, he had success unlocked from this company. the phone is locked on orange uk, and tried t-mobile sim card and lebara sim also, it still doesnt work.
Olinex is the best right now, you should give him a try..

I just purchased a G1 from someone and when I placed a SIM that was not t-mobile in, it did not give me an unlock network code request. Does this mean that someone had tried and entered a wrong one? When there is no sim, it says no sim so i know that the phone at least realizes there's something in there.
TIA for any answers

Can you possibly try getting a T-Mobile SIM in there? Make sure things are connected first...
i also had a t-mobile sim that was disabled a while back. i plopped it in and low and behold it gave me the same thing. i get the registration screen, but there is the 5 bar signal thing with an x. same with the at&t sim

Well testing with a dead SIM card, it's expected to give you those results. You need to register the phone with a T-Mobile SIM card first, then switch them out. See if that works :]

Actually, you may not have this second phone even unlocked yet. You have to get that code from T-Mobile before you can use other SIM cards.

Have you tried the app found in the market? (you need the original Sim card from where you got the phone and any other company's sim card
Try searching for "SGS unlock" in market place. It should be called the "Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool".
Simply Run the app after installing (while using the original Sim card) and it should give you two codes: an unlock code and an unfreeze code.
Once you get them, I suggest writing it down and/or emailing it to yourself.
After that, turn off your phone and swap the sim card to the one you want to use. The phone "should" ask you for the unlock code when you turn it back on and after it has booted. Simply enter the unlock code and you phone should then tell you it's unlocked (if everything works ok otherwise it will say it was unsuccessful).
Note: I am on Bell in Vancouver running the stock 2.1 firmware and it's worked fine for me. There have been people who were not so lucky and it did not work for them. There are even those who have gotten their phone locked due to trying to many time when after it fails to unlock, but that is what the unfreeze code is for. If you're with Orange mobility, I've read that some of their phones were already unlocked. You could always just try a different sim card and see if it accepts it if you haven't done so already.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for replying, new to this site not sure what I'm doing !
When i paid to have the phone unlocked i had already canceled my o2 monthly contract so the phone had no Sim in it when being unlocked, i don't have the o2 Sim anymore, i brought the phone from o2 so they might help me out I'll have to ask them. I've just put a o2 pay as you go Sim in the phone & it didn't ask for the Sim Network Unlock Pin but with the 3 contract Sim it does ask. I have installed the SGS Unlock tool but i haven't run the app. I'm having the phone unlocked again tomorrow so he hopefully can sort it out. Thanks again.
I tried to "SGS unlock tool" and nothing does not give me the codes. When I go to the root gene codes told me: "Sorry, no codes found. File not found: Do you have S Business"
I have no idea what to do.
Is there some other way to decode or knows someone why this is happening?
I also tried with Generate Unlock Windows, error is: can not find nv_data.bin
Hello I just bought a LG optmius 2X from fido and i have went out and got an unlock code ( yes i made sure i had the correct iemi number) BUT here is what happend

If you're not getting replies it's because nobody that has seen this yet knows how to help (me included).
In my case it was quite simple as the companies over here are forced to give the unlock codes, all I did was put a SIM from a company other than what I had (as said on the instructions) and then bring the unlock menu and enter the code.
Don't know if using a different SIM before unlocking is necessary because of the model itself or just the company I was using, it wouldn't hurt trying that way so put another sim first and then bring the unlock panel.
Thank you very much for the reply. I have tryed two other sim cards. both givethe same result now isthere a way to check if the phone is ulocked not buy puting in an new sim? Also the phone has never had a fido sim in it could this cause problems?

The easiest way to check is using a non accepted sim card and getting network. I don't think never have used a fido sim is the issue.
I just want to be sure you're doing the steps right,
1.- Insert a non accepted sim and start the phone, when the phone has loaded you should see the message "locked network/sim" (don't know exactly what it says in english)
2.- Dial the sequence 2945#*990# or 2945#*999# and then input the unlock code, you should get a message saying the request to unlock the phone was successful (again, or something like that) and then the phone will restart
3.- Once it loads again, you should see the name of the network provider and have signal.
Now try again, and tell exactly where it's going different for you to see if someone can help you, if not there's always the option to unlock by software.
Thank you but i get an error when i send the unlock code says networking error of.somthing also is softweare unlocking easy to do?

Hello guys,
My question is about what it will happen or at least what it should happen to my phone if I put a sim card from T-Mo?
I ask because I put one to my phone and it seen that it took it by NOT giving me any errors but since the sim card is not activated is hard for me to tell if it work or not. So I ask if the sim card is from a different provider and it doesnt give me any errors does that mean is unlock?
Thanks
Just try another sim, it wont kill the phone lol . At least then you will know wheteher the phone is sim locker or not.

And yeah, it sounds more like the phone is sim unlocked, as it doesnt matter if the sim is activated or not, the phone detects what carriers sim it is without it having to be activated.

I will let you know when i put a good SIM card to it.

Is it possible the phone is hard locked to the original provider? If it is, I'm not sure why you aren't getting a message to indicate the phone is network locked or asking you to input an unlock code.

Is hard to tell because honestly I havent mess around trying to unlock the phone. Is the first time I try to swap sim cards for the sakes. lol
The reason I made a thread about this is just because is weird that I dont get an error or a prompt telling me either enter the code or the the phone is network locked. All I get is a prompt telling me that a new sim card have been detected it and I need to restart the phone to see the changes etc.. with the new sim.

Was the phone supposed to be locked to a carrier? Do you have an active sim from that carrier you could try?

Hello guys, I have the locking code for me to unlock my phone but................
Once I put a new working simcard the phone still doesnt give me an input menu for to put the code on it. I just dont get a menu at all...
The phone is NOT locked to the provider. Is it possible that sinse I have flashed the phone so many times it loss some files for that to be working?
I dont get it why my phone do actually recognize the removal and input a new simcard as it ask me to reboot the phone to update the simcard but it will not give me a menu for me to input the code.
Please any ideas on how to fix this issue as is the only phone I have and have no service due to this so I cant use my phone at all.

when I sim unlocked my atrix from AT&T to work on t-mobile, it did the exact same thing. looked like it accepted it but wouldn't connect. I had to go back to stock to get it to prompt for the unlock code. once I unlocked it, I went right back to my other ROM and it worked just fine.

I have recently managed to install resurrection remix 5.0.2 on my Xperia SP and it works very well except for one major thing, sim card.
When I start my phone I will get a prompt to insert my pin. Nothing wrong here, if I insert incorrect pin I cannot unlock my sim card so it's detected correctly.
After that I will get another prompt to insert a pin, this time it's a little different and the problem with it is it doesn't work. If I input the same pin as I did before it will say "Request for unlocking network wasn't successful" so I can only cancel out of that which will leave my sim card locked.
When I tried to look into settingsI found that "Lock sim card" option was not checked and if I check it, it will ask my to enter my pin which again doesn't work.
I tried setenforce 0 in emulated terminal which did nothing.
Also I looked on internet for this problem with no solution I only remember reading about some script which maybe fixes this issue but I don't know where I saw it or if it actually works.

The script was necessary years ago for a similar problem. Rr502 doesn't need it.
This problem sounds so strange, defectuve hardware could be to blame.
1. Please test your sim in another mobile phone.
If it doesn't work in there too, get a replacement sim from your operator.
2. Start from scratch. Go back to stock rom, test your sim. If it doesn't work then, you have to replace your mainboard. (Get one with unlockable bootloader!)
3. If all your hardware is fine, do ALL stock updates. 207 was the last one as far as I remember. Then, install rr502 again. It should work now.

Thanks for replying. I think I know what the problem is now. My theory is because I installed carrier locked firmware (there were only 2 for my country both carrier locked I guess), my phone locked my network and I had no idea that could happen. So of course I typed in bunch of random codes and wasted all my tries, also had no idea that could happen. That's why I thought It was ROMs fault but it seems that I flashed incorrect firmware and now it's too late. If I go to service menu a go to sim info everything is ok except sim network. And there are 0 tries left. Well now I have different firmware that should work fine with every sim card but phone is locked and the only thing that I learned is if I want to unlock that network it will cost a lot of money. I don't know if there is any other way to unlock it but yeah, it seems that now I'm stuck.

In this case, you definitely need a new mainboard.
There is no hack, no trick, no whatever. New mainboard!
