Hey guys, now that tattoo is rooted do you think that something can be done
about unlocking it???
From what i saw all over the net many people have bought unlock codes wich turned out to be useless, including myself.
Is there any solution for this???
Rooting the phone has NOTHING to do with unlocking the phone for multiple network usage, etc. There have been many threads about this subject, please use the forum search option! Thank you.
I bought a code and worked like charm...

Hi
a quick question. I just bought one of these xdas from ebay. However when I got it the phone appears to be locked. When I insert a sim it saya 'network is lock please insert unlock code'. I am not sure what the problem is but am worried have been sold a stolen phone that has been barred.
The seller is not being helpful and I really would like to just keep the phone. My question is- if it has been barred is there a way to unbar it? I know it is possible to unlock xda phones by flashing new roms & changing the radio etc as i have followed the instructions on here before, but just wondering if anyone could offer any technical advice on my problem. It will be a lot of hassle to get a refund as seller is not at all responsive so any help would be appreciated please.
watch the wiki !
thear is a unlocker.
just put it on the device and start it.
Thanks- will clarify
Hi thanks for the quick response! I will go read the wiki now. I guess I should phrase my question better though- what i mean is, if the phone has been barred/ blocked on the network etc will unlocking it with the unlocking tool be of any use? Thanks in advance.
the unlocking tool will remmove all network lock from ur phone.so ur phone can access any network.

No. If the IMEI has been blocked on your providers network, the only one who can get it working is said provider.
However, your description of the problem is a sim locked phone. Once you run the unlocker, you should be fine.
Hi guys, I feel forced to create this new thread.
I am very desesperate about my device.
I bought it on ebay, and it is locked to orange. I read many threads talking about unlock trinity, downloaded and runned "HTC_Trinity_SIM_CID_Unlock_v1".
It did not worked, I tried sometimes, so I gave it up and bought the unlock code, wich is sold on another site.
For my surprise, when I turned on the device( so I could insert the code ), this message came "you have tried 14 times, wait until timeout..."
I AM WAITING 4 DAYS AD NOTHING...
Please, can anyone help this brazilian newbee...
Sorry for that....
Hi all,
I have just bought a Galaxy S on eBay, and it's locked to Three (in the UK btw). Whilst I wait for the unlock code (I'm on an O2 sim only contract), I thought I'd ask people for their advice on whether I should stick to the Three ROM, or should I root it and put a base Samsung ROM on it?
Also - what does this mean for me in terms of upgrades (thinking Froyo obviously). Do I need to get a Three specifics upgrade, and how do I get that if I'm not a Three customer?
I have searched the forum, and read lots of discussions of ROMs, but was hoping for some advice for my situation from any of the hugely experienced peeps on here.
Cheers,
James.
start with the wiki
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series
it has everything you need to know, including the unlock code
the best advice is to not go crazy on the ROMs unless you want to fix something in specific
Thanks for that. I read that unlock stuff, but unfortunately as I don't have a Three SIM, I can't get onto the market to download the necessary stuff.
I do think it's a bit strange you can't sign into your google account etc over wifi, but figure that's partly how they keep the phone locked to a provider.
James.
that doesn't sounds right
i always unlock and download the rooting stuff over WiFi
i don't even need to use the phone as a mass storage device, because WiFi works right off the bat
what happens when you try to go on the internet using WiFi?
are you able to go to Cnn.com or google.com login to your gmail account in the phone browser?
Hi Allgamer,
thanks for your reply - sorry I've not responded till now!
I could connect to the internet, but not sign into my google account. Don't know what the problem was, but I got round it by performing a factory reset of the phone.
All sorted now.
I do still have an issue with some 3 apps like Skype starting themselves up and consuming resources, despite the fact I can't use them over the O2 network
Loving the phone otherwise though. I've rooted it and installed the OneClickLagFix. Waiting eagerly for Froyo though.
Ok so first off I've searched and its how I got up to this point.
In a nutshell: Im from Puerto Rico, have a Ace S5830L on my hands, did the BLM5 method to get network unlock key, box didnt appear so had to upgrade from 2.2.1 to 2.3.4. Put the code in, unlocked the phone. When I do the *#7465625# all locks are [OFF] but when I put in a T-Mobile SIM(the phone is Claro) I get a message saying (No Service) | Network Lock and I get a new box saying to insert Network Lock Control Key.
So question is...what the he-- is this Network Lock Control key? What do I have to do to get the Tmo sim working when the phone is apparently unlocked already.
Thanks
bump...
sorry for the bump guys its just that I've been searching pretty much for like 12hrs now, here and on htcmania, which some people recommended but I cant find any definite answer, the questions been asked by others but I see no response and those people havent posted any solutions either. Again...thanks for taking the time to read the thread. Hope to hear from someone.
Some stock firmwares, even unlocked, have problems (telcel in mexico, for example). Have you tried with a free (unbranded) firmware or any custom rom?
I havent tried any custom roms, but I am running the unbranded KP7 stock 2.3.4 rom.
in 12 hours you wont get an answer so fast remember there are thousands and thousands different threads
check if your imei is okay
Sent from my ST25i using xda premium
youre right, my apoligies.
Yea I checked the imei and its still there, didnt get deleted. I also read that supposedly some companies do a double lock which is what the Network lock control key thing is. Any chance this is true? If so, any way around it?
ive search all threads but found nothing
my phone is network locked, dont work with my sim card.
the cell phone imei has no restrictions. i dont have a t mobile sim card to make a account.
when i try the t mobile app to try unlock, says : this devices is not eligible for unlock. for device unlock elegibility details, please go online or contact customer care (server error : error code 255)
ive search this error code but again, found nothing.
the device dont recognize on my computer, tried reinstall lg drivers several times. Coz i trought if i could change the rom, i could make it work (with comes with other problem, in lg site of kdz there is only t mobile roms for download, my model is LM-V405TA, i dont know if other model will work with no problem). who sold me, told me the phone become locked after a update software he made (the phone worked beforeo, a long time ago, i saw it), so maybe if i downgrade to oreo, even t mobile, maybe works, dont know. or if as mentined above, any other model kdz to flash could work, but as i said, the phone dont recognize on computer, eiter download mode or normal mode
and by my search, my phone cannot be rooted (someone mentined some "soldering stuff", what i wont do).
so my question is: there is really no other way to fix this ? i really have to pay almost 100$ to this sites that send a unlock code?
thanks from all my heart for who could give me some directions.
i can now use lgup and flash kdz. i did flash t mobile oreo but still locked network. Im almost sure if i flash the right kdz (clean with no carrier), i will solve this problem. But i cant find in the whole web for my model.
Yah, seems like im really and totally f.up. If this forum cant help, nothing can. Ive found some guy who fix this but too expensive, i cant afford. But thanks for who at least did read this thread.
Hi, how much do they charge to unlock it? I have a v40 locked to Sprint.

They asked 450 reais i my country (smthing about like almost 100 dollars). They said If my phone was spring, they could not unlock in anyway. Ive made a call to TMobile costumer support. They said in my case, th only way to unlock with them in tradicional way is If the previous owner pay his debits, but the account is closed. So im my case, the only thing i can do (im note sure, i really trust in this fórum but this time i had no help for at least directions or someone to Tell me How this works and what to do or not or what can or not can be done) is make a PayPal account and pay 70 dollars to some well know site do this job (my fear is If threre is any chance for them( when i say "them" i reffer to TMobile) to lock again after some time). But i guess we both are alone on this. So what i know and can share with you (im not sure but its what Ive heard), srints cannot be unlocked.
