How do you use the Unfreeze Code?

My friend's phone gives a message "network unlock pin number is entered incorrectly. contact your service provider" when I try to put in the Network Unlock code. This means he's tried to unlock the phone too many times right? How would I go about using the Unfreeze code?

no, it just means the code is wrong
and needs a good code
you get a different message when the phone is "Frozen"

Problem is, it never gives him the chance to type in the code. As soon as you boot it up with a foreign SIM, it gives that message and on the bottom, theres only an "Emergency Call" button

Just tried flashing to JH3 and it still says "network unlock pin number is entered incorrectly. contact your service provider" upon booting up with a foreign SIM

Any ideas?

It's an AT&T Captivate. Two problems, 1) he bought it used, 2) AT&T won't unlock these for 10 months
My current theory is that the first owner already tried too many codes and froze the phone. However, as others have said, this isn't the "standard" freeze message? I've never seen the freeze message on a SGS so I don't know if this is really the problem

Any ideas?

Have the same problem
Did you manage to get it resolved?
If so, can you let me know the solution please...
Thanks,
Padma

same problem
same problem. help would be nice?
I would love to regain access to entering the unlock code but am unable.
HELP!

Even I have the same issue with my SGH-I897. Can somebody please help on this?
It is not prompting for any code and saying "network unlock pin number is entered incorrectly. contact your service provider". I have gone through so many forums, but looks like none could able to chase it.

Unlocking your phone.
--Why, when, where: If you bought your phone with a contract, chances are that it might be locked in that specific network. If you want to also use other SIM card in it, that are from another provider, you will have to unlock the phone (!! WARNING !! in most cases this will lead to a void warranty, please consult your contract).
--Prerequisites: Root privileges, adb.
8.1. Get the /efs/nv_data.bin file from your device to your computer. You can do this either with adb or by copying the file to your SD card with "Root Explorer" and then copying it over to your machine from the SD (Be sure to keep a backup of this file and the /efs/.nv_data.bin.md5 file.)
8.2. Open up the file in a hex editor, go to the address 0x181468, where you will see something like this:
FF 01 00 00 00 00 46 46 46...
We are interested in that first '01', that means the phone is locked. Just change it to '00' and save the file. Copy it back to your SD card and then with "Root Explorer" back to it's original location (or 'push' it directly with adb). Then remove the .nv_data.bin.md5 file and restart the device (Again, be sure to make copies of these files before modifying or deleting them!). After this, you should be able to insert any SIM card into your device and it should work without the need for any further hacks.

Worked for me, thanks a lot! Rooted using superoneclickroot then had to try 2 different hex editors and ended up finding adress 00181460 under which rhere was the FF 01 46 46 46... code. You know you're there when you see that. Followed instructions and my T959 running 2.2 is now unlocked. Thanks again!

Is your phone rooted? That would be the first step.
Also, would need to know what ROM/version you're running.

What is your operator on what phone is locked?
Sim unlock codes are usualy around 10$ or so, but since cappy is rly common phone probably there are sites with free calculator you time your imei and you got unlock code. you will get your imei with type *#06# on your dialer. . Google to try find free calculator or if there is not then you will have to pay but it's not much. I know for s2 i unlocked for free. there is even application on gplay for s2 unlock also i saw apk for s1 (big chance that cappy is included in this program) I suggest you to try this first, you cant lose anything cuz program will gief you right code if it avalible or it will not gief you anything so you can't type wrong code to many time and lock the phone totaly.
Also i think hard reset , reset trys. not 100% sure.

[Q] can't undo sim lock - any advice?

First off: I am a noob, both here and when it comes to rooting/flashing/etc. I am speed-learning out of necessity LOL
I cant seem to unlock my phone's sim card pin no matter what I do... I have a Samsung Galaxy S gt-19000M, it was purchased in Canada and used for years on the Bell Aliant network. I have now moved to Belgium and would like to use this phone with Base network here. I love this phone and would prefer to not have to buy a new one
But of course when I put in a local sim card it asks for a pin code and Bell Alliant refuses to give it to me.
So I rooted the phone with SuperOneClick, and put on busybox (I thought it was installed through SuperOneClick but the galaxy_s unlock app was complaining of busybox errors), terminal emulator, root file browser and titanium backup.
So far I have tried:
-> galaxy_s unlock app
Result: it looked like it worked but no dice
from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7776555#post7776555
-> Hex edit
Result: still asking for pin code after reboot
-> SGS Unlock Tool apk
Result: cant find codes
-> generate unlock code for windows
Result: errors if my phone is connected to the PC, if I copy nv_data.bin into the folder and run it like that it gives me a code that did not work (20404)
from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8942669&postcount=94
-> attempted setting the pin to "12345678" (it asked for 8 digits)
Result: the inserted pin didnt work
GalaxSim still says it's locked and sounds like the pro version would work but I cant try any paid apps since the only sim card it accepts doesnt have an account attached to it anymore so I have no compatible sim card with a phone account that could be used to pay for an app...
So....... 2 of 3 pin attempts used up and not sure what to do short of a full factory reset >_<
I then did a factory reset, doesn't reset the pin code attempts (of course), galaxy_s unlock and sgs unlock tool still wont work
Now I downloaded a factory rom and am considering to learn how to flash the phone >_>
Fingers crossed I don't brick it!
My question: Am I missing something?
Did I skip something really noobishly obvious?
Please someone tell me I made a stupid mistake and make this all go away!!
Please? >_>
EDIT:
Ok so I'm a noob alright... I think I have been trying stuff for the wrong model -_-
Which means this is probably posted in the wrong forum section too, I'm sorry...
Back to square one I go

Sim unlock code (Galaxy S Unlock not working)

Hi, I bought a phone in the states, apparently it was unlocked but I guess it's not.
It's rooted, it has busybox installed.
I've installed the rom pa_n7000-3.56-27MAI2013-063155.zip (paranoid android) and after doing it, the phone asks for the sim unlock code which I have not. I've read plenty of threads and Galaxy S Unlock seems the way to go. I followed the steps but it wouldn't work.
Step 1: Save actual efs folder? after clicking yes i get the messate "One efs save exists, for made new save, delete or rename it." I click Ok and then i head on to step 2.
Step 2. Sim Unlock: change lock-bytes for unlock.. Sim unlock? click yes and after a while the phone goes black (not turned off, just like when it's idled, So I press a key, and it shows the Galaxy_S Unlock saying "Done: If the signal work: use step 3, if the signal don't work: restart your phone and use step 3. (Some of the times I've tried it, the program goes black and says "Galaxy S Unlock is not responding.. wait /stop)
Honestly I don't know if the signal worked, but I've tryied both options and still, everytime time I reboot the phone it asks for the sim unlock code.
Any idea that I could try for fixing the issue? Thanks a lot.

[Q] Unable to unlock phone

So, basically, I got a new pay-as-you-go SIM and I don't want to buy a new phone for it. I was looking for methods to unlock my current galaxy ace, it's rooted and I have a custom ROM on it- The Ultimatum by The "A" Factor. I got my unlock codes and put the SIM in expecting to get a screen saying phone is locked, please put in unlock code or something similar that usually happens. However nothing came up but when the phone finished booting, I had no service and can't use it for calls or anything which suggests that the phone is still locked, I tried using the *#7465525# service code, but I got an error saying no service or incorrect MUDI code or something like that. Is it possible that flashing a new ROM wiped the unlocking procedures and is there anyway for me to know if my phone is unlocked and if not, can I still unlock it?

Didn't show you nothing to introduce the code?¿
... try introducing another SIM from other carrier... when you boot then automatically should ask you to introduce the unlock code
If it doesn't work you could phone to the device's carrier, the carrier must help you if you finished your contract

I do have another SIM from another carrier, but the screen isn't showing up, I've been scouring the internet and found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335548 , turns out it won't show because of my ROM, so I'll have to switch to stock like you said, before I do that though I'll try that code he said at the end to see if it will unlock. Thanks :good:

ok! be carefull with this stuff, you could brick your device if you do something wrong, if I were you I'd phone my carrier to avoid any kind of trouble (if I'd had my contract finished)
Good luck mate!
