I didn't see a focus flash forum and it is very similar to the focus s internally so wanted to try posting here. I just got a focus flash from ebay as well as an unlock code and put my t-mobile sim in the phone. However, when I enter the code and tap enter, it says "sim error". I can cancel the unlock prompt and go to the metro ui, and there's a little sim icon with a lock on it. If I take out the sim card and restart, instead of the unlock prompt, I get a little box that says "sim error" and a message about missing or invalid sim. The little sim icon at the top has a little (/) instead of a lock. What could be the problem? It also says no network found in the cellular section of the settings.
same issue
i am having the exactly same issue with my focus flash, can any one help ?? and if the op user found out the solution please share
How many times have you tried to enter the unlock code? Id used to be (and probably still true) that trying more then five times will lock your phone permanently. You should get back to the person who provided the code and inform them of the issue. Double check your IMEI number when you contact them. One wrong digit in IMEI will generate a wrong code.

Hi, apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this. I get this message on my SPV M700 which I got an IMEI unlock code for. After inputting the code I got a message saying it was ok, but now I see the message "Service Provider is locked, Please input your unlock code"
Anyone know if I should put in the same code again or something else? I'm trying to unlock if using a Vodafone UK SIM.
Thanks
Hi Supermonkey,
If you've already entered the code but it's still asking for the service provider code, try it again. Make sure you enter the code and follow the process exactly as it shows and complete it fully to the end. Then try another SIM in the phone again. If it gives the same message again, can you tell us the exact message that comes up on the screen so that we can make sure it is the network unlock code that it keeps asking for.
Let us know how you get on.
Hopefullyuseful

Hi, thanks for your reply and sorry for the delay in responding....I didn't realise I had a message waiting for me! I've ended up returning the handset unfortunately. Thankfully it still worked with an Orange SIM but I really needed to keep my existing Vodafone SIM and contract going.
The site I used to get a code from (http://www.deblocage-htc.com/) have been truly woeful and ignored every request for support I have sent them. Steer clear would be my advice unless you want to waste money like I've done!

IMEI and Service Provider Unlock
Hi ppl
Just thought I'd comment to say that I had the same message come up when I was unlocking my HTC Touch 3g (JADE110) phone.
I used the IMEI unlock service from HTC IMEI Unlock.com
The unlock code they provided worked fine, but when confronted with "Service Provider Locked", I re-entered the unlock code here again, and the phone recognised my O2 sim, having been previously locked to Orange.
How do I find out what my PINs are? I'd like to know so that I can change them to my own personal numbers. PIN 1 (Phone) says there is only 1 attempt left and I've never even tried to access it to change it. PIN2 (Sim Card) says there are 3 attempts left and again, I've never tried to access it.
T-Mobile's Technical Support say they have no idea what they are.
Anyway to access this information so that I can find out what they are?
Thanks.
Well, to no avail I SIM locked my phone. lol. I ended up having to call T-Mobile and request my PUK (Pin Unlock Code) to unblock it. Apparently, each and every SIM has their own unique PUK so what your PUK # is won't work for someone else.
SHOULD you ever happen to fall in to the unfortunate event that I managed to do just call your service provider and request the PUK #.
There are different steps to unblock phones on different services.
My service provider is T-Mobile, USA, and I will list the PUK process to unblock your T-Mobile service phone should you ever need it.
Request PUK from T-Mobile customer service.
Unlock PIN code (PUK) (when PIN is entered wrong 3 times) **05*PUK*NewPIN*NewPIN#
If nothing happened after pressing the "#", then press send.
e.g. **05*XXXXXXXX*NewPIN*NewPIN#
Hi guys. I have a problem a bit similar to the ones I read earlier but my problem is that I entered my PIN code and phone didn't recognize it. Now I should have an option to enter PUK code and everything would be fine, but I don't have that option. My screen says: "Take a look at the manual or contact with your service provider" (something like this, my phone language is Polish so I may translate something not correctly). I did take a look at the manual but there was nothing that could solve my problem so I'm asking you, members of xda community, is there any way to solve this problem without taking phone to my GSM provider?
If you are using custom rom try full wipe maybe it would hep
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
It didn't work, but it turn my phone language into english so I can write what it says:
"SIM card is PUK-locked."
"Please see the User Guide or contact Customer Care."
If you inputted a incorrect PIN for too many times the SIM card will lock up and require the PUK to reset the PIN failure counter - that much the phone is actually doing right.
If you don't have a possibility to enter the PUK then all you can do is to see a service point of your mobile operator to have the SIM card resetted.
There's pretty much nothing you can do as that's a security function of the GSM card and not the phone or the OS.
EDIT: Any chance entering **05*<PUK Code>*# or **05*<PUK Code>*<New PIN>*<New PIN confirm># works? (in case you can get to the dialer)
I can get to the dialer, but I didn't know that I can enter PUK there, I'll give it a try and write either it worked or not.

The second method worked! Thanks! When I use this first method it says that is either connection problem or MMI code is invalid.
Just bought a AT&T LTE 8.9", locked on AT& Network
i treed to unlock it using cellunlocker . the problem is the ask me to inter the unlock code in the dialer and hit the call button.
my device doesn't have dialer and i did install one from the market and the dialer did not work .
would you please help me in this ??
I think you have to put in a SIM it is locked against first.
i did that

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:
i have a P970 Locked to Kodoo Canada, i got the code from ebay but if insert the simcard don't ask for code, in the notification bar i can see network locked but not any way to entry the unlocking code. Also with the sim card inserted i have a error while search for mobile networks in settings
is any way to do this? Like *#.......
thanks
Try this: 3845#*970# if I remember correctly, there was a setting/option for this somewhere in there
SOLVED
thanks for the code
i found also on internet
hod #1 Insert a non accepted simcard, and enter code when prompted for a code
OR
Method #2 Go to the dial screen and press “2945#*model number#”
for example if its a p999 you enter “2945#*999#” or if its a p990 you enter “2945#*990#” etc…
OR
Method #3 to the dial screen and press 2945#*71001# as if making a call, enter code when prompted
OR
Method #4 Go to the dial screen and press *#865625# as if making a call, enter code when prompted
That's what I call a good post, thanks for listing it all up Maybe change the title to something like [Solved] P970 network unlock code... Just a suggestion, so everyone can see, that the solution is in here
I got the unlock codes but i found up to now no way to type it in. The hidden menu has no sim unlock code undermenu (i checked all). all other codes i checked give me no menu pop up (they just give me an error "MMI code not valid"). My phone is LGP970H from Mexico Telcel.
