I have been looking around the internet on how to unlock this tab (both English and Japanese websites) and I have came across this:
http://berorin.blog.shinobi.jp/Entry/1489/
According to this blogger, he unlocked his tablet by doing the following:
1. (本来使えないキャリアのSIMが刺さってる状態で)*7465625*638*#に電話
2. 使いたいSIMのMCC/MNCを入力(SBなら440/20)
3. ControlKeyに97286414
4. Unlock Saccessfull!的なメッセージが出たら再起動
5. 刺してあったSIMが認識される=アンロック完了
Translation
1. (With another carrier's sim card in the tablet) dial *7465625*638*#
2. Enter the sim card's MCC/MNC (For softbank it would be 440/20)
3. Enter 97286414 on the control key blank
4. A message like "Unlock Successful" would appear, and then reboot
5. The sim card's provider will be recognized (on your tablet) = unlock complete
SIMロック限定解除を解く場合。
To solve the limited sim unlock problem:
次に「#7465625*638*CODE#」をコール。
表示されるNetwork LockのEnter Network Lock Control Key欄に「97286414」を入力⇒OKをタップ。するとUnlock Successlyと表示される。
Next, dial #7465625*638*CODE#
The Network Lock screen with a Enter Network Control Key column should appear. Enter 97286414 then press/click ok. Once you do so, a message stating "Unlock success" should appear.
Now, I have the Overcome rom on my tab and tried this. It did not work. However, I am curious if someone with the original stock rom (Docomo) can successfully unlock this.
I do have network lock, network subset lock, SP lock, CP lock, and Data lock off but for some reason I still get the "Enter Network Control Key" message when I boot it up with another sim card.

Have you tried this one?

- If you use hexedit app, for clearer instruction do the procedure below :
1. Root the Tab, z4root.1.3.0.apk: http://forum.xda-dev...ad.php?t=833953
2. Install Super Manager as your root explorer. Enable root function in settings.
3. Backup /efs folder with Super Manager to your SDcard to be sure.
4. Open a copy of nv_data.bin in a hex editor. I installed HexEditor. Change 00181462 to 00 (note edit point is currently 01. It is the first two digits after seven "ff").
5. Open /efs with Super Manager set to Mount R/W and your modified nv_data.bin in the Root Explorer clipboard.
6. Rename or delete nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 and paste nv_data.bin (you have the originals in your /efs backup).
7. Power off the tab.
8. Insert new sim carrier.
9. Power on.

This method did work for the Docomo version of the galaxy tab. Many have attempted this and still had the network lock screen popping up.

I assume you mean did not work?
I also have a Docomo tab and am moving back to Australia after some time living in Japan and was hoping to unlock my tab. It's disappointing that the SC01C uses a different lock mechanism. I guess one of these little SIM boards that stick to your SIM to fool the device into thinking they are still on a different carrier might be an option. Selling it has become another option for me - I'm really annoyed that Samsung released this thing with all sorts of little arbitrary differences between different reasons creating lots of confusion about which roms can be run. Disappointing.
By the way I returned my SC01C back to stock, but I don't have a Docomo SIM so I have been using it WIFI only. I might see if I have another carrier SIM to try...
EDIT: I might not be much help as it appears my Docomo Tab is actually unlocked already. When I inserted an Australia Vodafone SIM in it accepted it but said 'No Service'. I would have thought it would have told me 'Invalid SIM' or words to that effect. Secondly, I tried the Softbank SIM from my HTC Desire in my Tab and it said 'Not registered on network', rather than warned me about the SIM. Is there any option I need to go to in order to test it further? I used my tab exclusively as a WIFI tab so far...
@zetsurin,
Have you tried changing the nv_data.bin on the /efs folder?
Rotohammer posted it works on all GSM Galaxy Tab.
Just be sure to back-up your original files, so you can revert it back.

Success!!
Ok, I decided to try the codes and I am roaming on Softbank with an Australian Vodafone SIM using my SC01C Docomo tab!
Firstly, to summarise everything the following Samsung codes are involved:
*#7465625# = Check the locks
*7465625*638*Code# = Enables Network lock
#7465625*638*Code# = Disables Network lock
The whole 'Code' business confused me. So basically you enter it like this:
Firstly, I entered *7465625*638*#. If I enter '505/03' (Vodafone Aus) and then 97286414 for the control key, I actually get a 'Lock successful' message, and in fact I saw some other Japanese blogs mention this. This is because that's a lock request, rather then unlock request. So I decided to enter the lock check (first code) and it confirmed I have a lock on.
Then I entered #7465625*638*#. It requests the control code only this time. So I then entered 97286414 and bingo I see the 'unlock successful' message and then the lock check confirmed my tab is unlocked.
Finally I selected Softbank for roaming with my SIM and it worked perfectly. I believe this is the correct way to unlock the SC01C we have as it doesn't have the same format nv_data (I've seen several sources say this actually).
thanks!!!
i was able to unlock it.
problem is, im not able to register to either docomo or softbank. i wonder what's wrong since i can do this on my galaxy s.
Thanks Everyone, unlock successful!

Hi Everyone,

I have been searching for an answer for a week and still cannot find the best way to unlock the docomo galaxy tab (so many people root it and did not work), until I saw this thread, only took me 2 seconds and now it's unlocked.. Thank you guys!

This really worked..... Thank you so much!!
works, but ony until restart
Hi!
This is the first method, that really works with my docomo galaxy tab. Thank you verry much, for the manual!
Unfortunately it only works until I restart the phone. After restart it asks for network lock key again, and I have to do the whole process from the begining.
Is there any way to make this unlock permanent?
(I also tried several other methods, like haxediting, etc,)
I have an ATT SGT with Overcome ROM, and just unlocked my TAB with an app I got on the Market called Galaxy Tab Unlock. Worked without a hitch. I had no unlock code or anything from ATT. I have used different SIM's and they all work. Also have data working with non ATT SIM's after putting in the APN's. The app, once installed, is called Galaxy S Unlock, but works with my TAB. Painless!
Yes, it worked until i reboot the tab.
no solution for this issue yet?

hey guys
i just got my phone, and it was fine but had no service, so i flashed a compatible modem, and now i get enter unlock network control key
is there anyway to fix this or did i break it?
Can you operate the phone without the SIM ?? or without inputting the code ??
If so put this into the dialer *#7465625# and all options should be off.
let me know what it says. you can remove network locks pretty easy, theres an app in the market, and even a whole thread about it somewhere on here..
Enter Network Lock Key Galaxy I900T
I have a Samsung GT-I900T and is unlocked but is requesting me "Enter Network Lock Key".
I already enter again the unlock code and is incorrect. Any Help?
Thanks!
I have typed in the code *#7465625# and the network lock is on. Can this be changed?
Sorry, I think nobody know how to answer your question.

Did you honestly just assume no one can help him because no one has helped him yet? Don't be ridiculous. That's absurd.
I am curious about if there is a solution to this ... i haven't run into this problem ... but imagine it might pop up.

I found a phone and flashed the firmware, and it says enter the network code also.
So i entered the dialer code you said and the lock code is on.
So what cind of app is there, ore other way to fix the problem
I have an unlocked Tab and am currently in Germany where I bought
HTML:
a sim card. Whenever I try to enter the similar pin, nothing happens. I just hit enter and it tells me I still have one more attempt. It's driving me nuts. Any ideas? The similar card is from Aldo (Medion I think).
Your tab is locked. If you enter a wrong code again you won't be able to unlock it.
Go to the market and get chainfire's unlocking app. search sgs2simunlocker and run it, but it takes about ten minutes. Write the code down.
I assume your Tab is a GSM-model (sorry for stating the obvious, I just want to be on the safe side).
Are you sure, it is unlocked? To find out, enter *#7465625# in the phone app. If Network Lock is shown as [ON], your Tab is locked.
You can use the app suggested by rangercaptain, however it was written for the Galaxy S, not the Tab. So it might work or not (there are even SGS- configurations it doesn't work with, including my own). If the app doesn't help, you might want to try this unlocking guide: http://www.galaxytabnews.com/news/sim-unlock-galaxy-tab/
[Q] Does "SIM network unlock PIN" necessarily mean the phone is just locked?
Hi all, so here's the story - I bought a used Samsung Vibrant (at&t galaxy s 1), upgraded to 2.2 to get the unlock code, unlocked it. I then tested it with my GiffGaff (o2 UK simcard) and it worked fine. Then I proceeded to flash CM7.1 on it and just assumed that it remained unlocked and forwarded it onto my friend in Japan.
Now that he recieved it, he put his softbank sim in and he's getting a "SIM network unlock pin" prompt when the phone is turned on. Now, I'm a bit confused as to why that's happening because I had previously unlocked the phone.
My questions are A) could flashing to a new rom have un-done the unlock? I thought not...but I can't seem to remember if I ever read that or just think that B) does "SIM network unlock pin" indeed only point to the fact that the phone is locked? From the various threads here that I've seen that contain the same message, it appears so...but I just want to double check?
The main issue is that there's another message saying 9/10 attempts, so I'm afraid to just give him (show him how to obtain) the lock code again.... if he did try it, and for whatever reason it didn't work, would it be as good as bricked? (I can remember back in the days when I would unlock the old school non-smartphones that once you reached the X or Y tries for entering the lock pin, it would become unusable)
any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
update: oh man, I just found out that I sent him the wrong captivate...problem solved....his is indeed locked/etc. sorry!
Ok I'm wondering if someone could help me out here. I picked up a Korean SKT Galaxy Note today, however the LTE isn't compatible with docomo's network. I did some searching online and found that there is a code you can put into the dialer to access a STK hidden menu, which ultimately let's you alter the phone to accept WCDMA frequencies and such. The code is:
319712358
However the phone then requires a password. I found 774632 as the password but when I put in the sequence, nothing happens.
I bought this phone used for 65,000 yen (about $720) and it is apparently unlocked, as I can use my docomo number without a problem. I desperately want to keep the phone (the store said I could return it) but have no use for it without the data, and thus would be incredibly grateful if someone could help me out...
May be try to use 996412 instead of 774632

1st of all thank you for replaying in my thread .
with regarding of the SIM card i have done that i treed using our network SIM card (Mobaily) and nothing happen .
I treed this :
A)-
Turn your phone with a non accepted simcard, and then turn off the wifi.
Now go the dial screen and then type *2767*3855# on phone keypad. (CAUTION! This will reformat all your data!)
1. After phone restarts, type the Unfreeze code ( ) when prompted to enter "SIM network unlock PIN" or "Enter Network Lock Control Key" screen and hit unlock button.
It will say "unsuccessful" again, don't worry!
2.. Type the Unlock code ( ) and hit Unlock button.
3. Your phone should now give you the message "Network Lock Successful"
Now your phone is successfully unlocked!
If there is still an error please press *#06# and check the IMEI number
B)-
Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: #7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE# (8 digit unlock code)
Q: is it poseble to get dial screen on this tab ?
thanks .
With my 8.9 LTE, I power up with a sim card, and it asks me for the network lock right away. Is that the same as the sim lock? I've never unlocked a tablet before, but I'm assuming it is. Tablets surely can't have the multiple lock menus a cellphone has. Network/Sim/SPCK etc.
To trigger the unlock menu, you need to insert a NON-compatible sim card. So if your tablet is a MOBAILY one, inserting a sim of that company won't help you.
Put in ANY other sim to get the menu to pop up.
Good Luck!
btw, those instructions are for a phone., hence the dialer. I'm willing to bet it 99.9999%. AFAIK, there's no way to get a phone dialer menu on a tablet lol. (watch me be proven wrong ha):laugh:
