[Q] SIM-Unlock | GSM unlock - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I flashed my friend's X8, with him. (Well we've been trying to fix this problem since yesterday)
And, now to the problem:
The phone is running on cm9, has never had a SIM lock or anything, before...
But now, we need a network code.... Can someone help me here???
(I'm a n00b, when it comes to Sony devices, because I am a child of the Samsung family *cough*Samsung rocks!!*cough*)

shoulda i fix it
i had the same problem when i install GingerDX v23b but to find this code you must buy a new corporation of gsm networks or press dismiss it when it shows up this message it have 2 ways 2 button press only dismiss and about the code i am not so sure but i think you can get it from the corparation sim card have been registered if you will go and tell her thats you need a password she will found it

Try 1111

Don' t try it. There is a counter for number of attempts for network code. Just click cancel if it works. If not search a little on this forum

[Q] Galaxy Note Sim Unlock

Hey Guys,
I bought a Galaxy Note here in Mexico, actually 2, one for me one for my GF...
The only company that brought it here was Telcel, but in 6 months i finish my contract and want to move to a different (Faster) Company...
Im new at android, so i was told i could sim unlock my android easy.. well i have been searching lots of forums, and havent found an answer yet,
I even dare to pay to get an unlock code at http://www.cellunlocker.net which i do NOT recommend i havent got answer for my problem yet, anyway here is my problem, i got the code, so its easy i just have to input the code on my phone, the problem is that i dont know how to input the code.
This is what i have tried so far...
1.- Put a sim of a Network locked on my phone... i was supposed to get a screen saying insert Network Lock code or something like that, instead all i got the first 3 times was Network Locked... that's it no option to input the code, right now i dont even get that screen it only shows the icon that means network locked...
2.- I search in the forums, and found sever ussd Codes in this tread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20750699&postcount=72
So ok i tried #7465625*638*Code# / #7465625*638*# / and according to the instructions i got from the cellunlocker page i tried #0111*Code#, all of them returns the same thing "Connection Problem or invalid MMI Code"
I have tried other ussd codes and for example *#06# for the imei and *#7465625# which gave me the current status do work, also another one to see the Mac of the bluetooth, so i stuck here....
Any ideas?? thanks!!!
im going to answer your question, you can try to use an online tool to try to unlock your note, THE BIG PROBLEM is that you wont be able to use in any other company because telcel has locked the firmware, the only thing you can do is change your firmware and you will able to use with other provider
So.. When ics is out i can update and then unlock.. Cause there are no firmware updates right now

Just wanted to sat that i flashed a custom ROM... Then when using a different sim it gave me the option to unlock so now im unlocked and well that website i used for getting the unlock code was for real
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Could you please post the website? I need to unlock a well to use with iusacell
It is very easy
I am on the original unchanged ICS Touch Wizz 4.0.3 rom
using google play on your phone search for GalaxSim Unlock .... it worked perfectly for me
I think you have to have your phone rooted though...only minor prerequisite needed..

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?

[Q] Start to be crazzy with dimislock network

Hello,
I have a X8 untouched (bootloader loocked, original ROM)
I sale this phone to a friend of me.
This friend use Globul network (Bulgarian network)
Before i use Mtel (Other Bulgarian network)
I call for recieved the unlock code from Mtel, after 2 days the send me a SMS with a 16 digits code.
But my problem is before received this code i put more 5 wrong codes.
So when i put the good demislock code, i have all the time unlock failed.
I read on different forum and they say it's a counter and after 2 wrong test you lock completly the phone
Sombody have a solution without pay for this ?
Big thank's for advance because i start to be realy crazy
Why don't you try contact your provider again?
If that can't happen,then you need paid methods....
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
Yes meeting your service provider is the only option..
The same problem happened to my nokia 1100 when i entered the puk code wrong 5 times..
then i had to meet my service provider who then fixed it and took a minor fee
contact the provider and ask then for PUK also known as PUC (Personal unblocking code)... i locked my x8 similarly last year.....if you got no tries left i dont know what to do ...i had saved one try..
anyway...why use nAa for antutu ...alfs is better for it because of no fps cap version... i hope nobodyatall makes no fps cap version...
Thank's for your answer But my operator want to return the phone to service.
It's not the puk, the phone is not bloqued.
It's just he demislock code for use any operator.
Nobody now a system to flash the EROM not the ROM for eject this stupid lock ? (with flashtool)
Thanks' for advance :laugh:
you mean it is sim lock? u can use only that provider's sim? if so you can sim unlock it...use omnius...you will have to pay some amount...i think S1tool works too? Omnius will work fine just paid method...there are other paid methods too..
I now all paiement system for me the best is FASTGsm, but i search a solution without paiement
Whit a flash of the phone or another way :good:

Network Unlock issues..

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?

[Q] Help Unlocking rooted Exhibit with custom ROM

I'm trying to unlock the Exhibit 4G this week for use on a trip abroad (and yes, it is legal to do so since this was a prepaid phone paid in full in 2012 so T-Mobile did email me the unlock code - all that is good). What I don't understand is why it is not prompting for the Unlock code at boot. T-Mobile says I must have another company's SIM card in the phone to unlock the Phone. So, I bought a Simple Mobile SIM and placed it in the phone but it just boots up to the ROM as normal without asking for the unlock code. I am using the Linaro 4.2 rom (which is amazing btw!) but I also tried with Peach Sunrise 3.0 and Cyanogen 10 - nothing but a normal boot with no phone capabilities. So I have these questions: Do I actually need to pay for SimpleMobile service first to get the phone to recognize the SIM as different and ask to unlock? (seems unlikely) - Is Simple Mobile just not a good SIM to use for unlocking this phone... Or do I have to go back to stock ROM and unroot to unlock this? Of course if there are any other apps or shortcuts that will let me get straight to the unlock code prompt I'm all for it. Any help is greatly appreciated - not finding a lot of answers out there on the net and if it is on this forum I apologize for not finding it and would appreciate a link to it - Thx!
You probably need a different sim card. As I understand it, T-Mobile phones don't need to be unlocked to work on Simple Mobile.

Thx - it figures I would choose that one to buy!
Meekrawb is right, simple mobile uses the T-Mobile network.

To get your IMEI go to your cell phone and enter *#06# This will give you a string of numbers you will need to unlock your cell phone. Enter *#06# as if you are going to make a call. Then you will be given the string of numbers you will need.

After you obtain your IMEI and copy it on a piece of paper, power your cell phone off. Take the back off if you have a removable back. Take the SIM card out. Put a BLANK SIM card in its place. Power the cell phone on. A screen should come up asking for your IMEI number to be entered. It should look like a rectangular box. Enter you IMEI. There should be a small box under the rectanglar box that you press. The phone should then eventally unlock itself. You can test it by putting a different SIM card in your cell phone.
