The new I897UCJI6 - FROYO locks the phone to att. I am using tmobile as my carrier and have unlocked my captivate but I897UCJI6 - FROYO rom does not detect my tmobile sim card and stays on flight mode saying no sim card inserted. I flashed back to the stock att rom and tmobile works fine. I tried to use the FROYO samsung unlocker from the market but does not generate a code on the FROYO rom nor the stock att rom after rooting/unrooting the phone (maybe because i've already unlocked the phone once?). What a bummer!!!. Any input on this is highly appreciated?
Same Here !
does the unlock code change when u do the froyo update? ? ?
didnt the old unlock code work? ? ?
I think he is saying he forgot to write down, or send his unlock code to his email; and now he cannot use the SGS application to find the unlock code.
He said "does not detect my tmobile sim card and stays on flight mode saying no sim card inserted"
So the phone doesnt ask for an unlock code and doesnt see the sim card.
i have same problem but i am on att.... it doesnt stay on flight mode but a zero with a slash on it is in the noti bar....

I honestly tried to find the answer to this everywhere before posting. I already have the unlock code from HTC and Tmobile. I simply need to figure out how to unlock the phone.
The instructions I received with the unlock code said that the phone would notify me that the SIM is unregistered and I would put in my unlock code at that point. I assume this is only the case on a vanilla version of Android or whatever the current official release is.
As you may have guessed, I have my phone rooted and have been running CM for a while. When the prepaid SIM is in the phone CM does seem to realize that its there and there is a SIM tool app but it does nothing. I have flashed to a couple different customer ROMS including dwang and a couple older version of CM.
Is there any way that I can actually unlock my phone without having to unroot and go back to the official android release from tmobile?
Thank you to anybody that can help me.

Is it The AT&T Prepaid sim card. If it is then i don't think it would work. i have an unlocked g1 with an AT&T sim card and i unlocked it before rooting. So guess u have to do the same. hope i helped
Right now I am trying with a TracFone SIM card but I could try with an AT&T card from a friend in a couple of days. I don't even really need to get the service to work at this point.
The two things I really want are just to be able to unlock my phone and backup my contacts onto a secondary SIM card and I am having no luck doing either.

Hi all;
got my sim unlock code for the nexus 6. when i put in a non carrier sim and boot back up no menu comes up for me to enter the unlock code, just says no service, if i put the original carrier sim back in it works fine..any way to manually invoke the unlock code menu so i can enter it or any other tips..thanks in advance
I can't help with this but it may help others to say what carrier you're locked to..
Sorry..iT's locked to rogers in canada
Since the phone was already used on Rogers, perform a factory wipe to use a new carrier's SIM
My Rogers Nexus 6 came unlocked out of the box. I expect yours is as well. I have never heard of a locked Nexus device sold by a Canadian carrier.
Weird
..just says selected network (telus) what im trying to connect it to is unavailable. Factory reset at this point too
Hi everyone,
I've been using an SM-920T 64GB Galaxy S6 bought from T-Mobile last summer. I did a permanent unlock using the T-Mobile application and since July I've been using the phone on the AT&T network. I just rebooted my phone today like I always do and upon restarting I got an "Invalid SIM Card" and it brings up a SIM network unlock PIN window that I can dismiss or enter a code into. What is going on?
I'm running XtreStoLite Deo 2.4 if that makes any difference.
Also, does anyone have the T-Mobile Device Unlock apk that comes stock with the phone? This is how I unlocked the phone in the first place but I don't have that app anymore since I run a custom rom, and the play store won't let me download it because I don't have a t-mobile SIM card in the phone.
Thanks!
Well for the benefit of whoever has the same issue. I flashed back the stock ROM via ODIN, ran the T-Mobile Device Unlock app, it said Unlock Unsuccessful in big, but right below it said the phone has been unlocked permanently. I put in my AT&T SIM and it was working again. Then I flashed back my TWRP backup and the phone remained unlocked. The non-Tmo ROMs get the unlock popup when a foreign SIM card is inserted, so getting an unlock code should work, but I didn't want to wait 3 days to receive one.

Can you tell me what ROM you used? I have the g920T also, and bought it USED unlocked from ebay, but it had the FRP (factory reset protection) lock on it. I had my US cellular SIM card in it, even though I was stuck at the "enter your previous used google account on this device" and the SIM seemed to work (saw the LTE bars above).
But the only way for me to bypass the FRP was to flash to the ROM to stock (which I used the G920T tmobile ROM) and I got to the home screen but now it says "Invalid SIM card. Network locked SIM card inserted" just how you were saying.
When I try using the Tmobile unlock app, it says "Server not responding. Please try again later." .
Please help!
I bought a Vodafone smart mini 7 recently, and I have rooted it successfully.
Then I tried to unlock it. So I downloaded SN write tool and tried to change its IMEI, but I failed because the phone could not connect to the computer correctly, some USB driver issues, or I used the wrong db files. So, the IMEI never changed, it is still the original one.
After so many attempts, I decided to buy a code. I paid for the code, but it doesn't work. I was told to reset the phone, change another SIM card and try again. At that time I realized I haven't put the Vodafone SIM card which was bought with the phone, maybe the phone need to be actived by a same brand SIM card. I put the Vodafone SIM card in my Vodafone phone, I found it was locked as well. That means Vodafone locked itself!
I flashed the preloader when I rooted it, and have a lot of failed attempts to flash IMEI. I don't know why can a Vodafone phone lock a Vodafone SIM card, and I would appreciate if someone can help me to unlock it.
I flashed my sprint note 8 to a unlocked firmware, and it's using a tmobile sim.
After the news, I try to switch back. I flashed the firmware N950USQS2BQL9_N950UOYN2BQL9_SPR using ordin. But when the phone boots up, it's T mobile, with the splash screen and my tmobile app and EVEN a Device Unlock app.
So I took out my sim and tried flash with no sim inside, it's still T mobile. I don't have the original sprint sim card anymore. And the present of the Device Unlock app is driving me crazy, and I also scared that the ota will brick my phone.
Please,anyone know how to fix it?
Are you flashing using the app data file?
Do you have any other non-Tmobile SIM card to check if your phone locked itself to Tmobile?
You might have the device unlock app installed on your phone, but this doesn't mean the phone is locked to Tmob.
Insert a non-accepted SIM card as here: https://www.unlockunit.com/blog/network-locked-t-mobile-usa/
And let me know the message your phone displays.
Also, check your IMEI if it's recognized by T-mobile servers with their own service here: https://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx
