Hi!
Unfortunately I had to send back my phone to my operator because of a hardware fault. For warranty reasons I must restore the SIM lock (network operator lock).
I haven't find any info on xda so I want to share the process of relocking again.
First, get the unlock code with BML5 method if you didn't save it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335548
Then, dial this:
*7465625*638*# (Configure Network Lock MCC/MNC)
After dialing a new window appears where you can lock your phone again.
For MCC/MNC code, check this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code#National_operators
For example I have to supply this code: 21630 (no '/' characters, no space)
Because
216 is Hungary MCC
30 is T-Mobile MNC
For Control Code (After MCC/MNC):
Write the Unlock Code that you have with BML5 method.
Thats all.
P.S. Don't forget to install your original stock rom if you send your phone back to your operator.

Hi everyone,
I need to go another country for a while...so i want to unlock my Bell Galaxy S.
If i come back, i want to relock it to keep the warranty.
I found this>>>
HOW TO LOCK SAMSUNG GALAXY S - FOR WARRANTY PURPOSES ONLY (TESTED)
After you get the NCK code using the method above, enter: *7465625*638*#
There will be a pop-up box.
Complete the first field (MCC/MNC) with the network you want your phone locked to (eg. 226 10 where 226 = romania; 10 = orange etc.) and the second field (Control Key) with the NCK extracted from the .bak file.
Press OK and your phone should relock.

Call you cell provider and tell them you entered the sim unlock key wrong too many times and tell them you need your PUK (personal unlock key I believe) and they will provide it free of charge without complaint.
contact your network provider.

If you read the OP, you'll see the network service provider has been contacted many times.
my phone fixed via JTAG but now my phone asks me for SIM IMSI UNLOCK PIN so I enter any random digits, receive msg "phone unlocked" but the phone restarts and asking again for code... I bought my phone without any sim lock.
can you help me?

in some case you can contact your carrier and give them your imei # and the will give you the sim unlovk code. You can also buy an unlock code from ebay or other internet sites. Did you asked the persons who Jtag repaired your device if they can provide you this code?

SIM UNLOCK PIN seems to be a security code from the sim card, try with another SIM Card from same carrier. Apparently it has nothing to do with unlock code.

So I had SIM unlocked at&t htc one (I obtained unlock code from carrier). Once I unlocked it, i was using european simcard and then revone s-off came out. so I s-offed it successfully and after reboot i got exactly same problem - enter sim imsi unlock code or something like that. Any code would result in unlock successful and reboot phone, but it would ask code again. I ended up sending phone to HTC for repairs. I guess they completely reflashed firware or updated something else, since phone that i received back had different IMEI then what i send them (same physical device though - scratches on the side). I had to obtain new unlock code for new IMEI and new code unlocked it for european sim.
Hi everyone. Could someone please give me the dial prompt or another method to enter an unlock code? I bought an unlock code but can't find a way to enter it. I've also tried mayrer's method (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...sim-unlock-t3229801/post63465284#post63465284) to sim unlock without codes but it didn't work, unfortunately.
When I put an unrecognized sim into the phone, it tells me it's an "invalid sim" but it doesn't go to another screen to enter any codes as I've seen in some videos.
Any help would be appreciated!
Edit: I have the the ls991 zv5 5.1. Flashed to stock and rooted. Trying to get it to work on Orange network in Spain.
hello,
i have the samsuns s6 g920aucu3boj7.
i wanted to country unlock it from at&t and i received the unlock code and the de-freeze code
but the problem is both are not working,i heard if you enter the incorrect code many times the mobile will be permanently locked.is this true ?
if i restore it with this firmware will the code work then ?
am in Pakistan,and is there anyway to use the local sim cards ?
thankyou.

Hi,
Try these, maybe you can solve this issue:
Apply the Defreeze + Network Code if you still get the message “Unlock Unsuccessful”. It takes 5 steps:
1. Type your Defreeze code (or MCK): xxxxxxx and press Unlock button. You will get "unsuccessful” message again but don't worry.
2. Now type the Network code (or NCK): xxxxxxxxx and press Unlock button. If your phone shows “Unlock Successful" message, congratulations, your phone is unlocked. If not, proceed to step 3.
3. Make a hard-reset or factory reset of your phone. Please be informed that a hard-reset will restore your phone to the factory settings, so all apps, data and other settings added by you will be removed. We advise you to make a backup or save all data you want to keep.
In order to make a hard-reset you can either dial *27673855# on your phone or, if this method is not working, you can use these instructions in order to make the hard-reset.
4. After your phone restarts, type the Defreeze code (or MCK) xxxxxxxx, in the area below "SIM network unlock PIN" message or "Enter Network Lock Control Key" message. Press the unlock button. It will say "unsuccessful" again, don't worry!
5. Type the Network code (or NCK): xxxxxxxx and press Unlock button. Your phone should now give you the message "Unlock Successful".
