Using the Unfreeze Code

I've been trying to unlock my friend's phone, but it appears he's tried an incorrect code too many times and thus it does not give him the option to type in the network unlock code after putting in a foreign SIM. How do I go about using the Unfreeze code sgux.exe gave me?

From what the thread states you need to flash to a nandroid backup and retry. If that doesn't work you might need to Odin one click back to stock. The best way to do it is use a separate Sim card, because I couldn't get the alternate method to work without a Sim card. Not saying it can't be done because there are steps to do so, I just didn't see how to figure it out. I bought a Sim from T-mobile for $10.

Just a note for people who's code might not work. The samsung I have had freezed from previous trials but the phone does not display that it froze or any other msg. so when we got the network unlock code (which is what this tool showed) it did not work but the phone did not display anything other than this code is wrong.
So I tried the unfreeze code for the heck of it, and then the unlock code and it worked."

Thanks for the post, I'll PM him to see how he entered the code exactly

any ideas?

I had frozen my Tmobile Vibrant by entering an unaccepted unlock code three times in a row.
I'm not exactly sure which of these steps resulted in a successful unfreeze, but was able to unfreeze the phone twice:
- Remove SIM and reboot phone
- enter *7465625*638*# and relock the phone to another network other than the one u have u'r sim card (eg 22610) using the 'unlock code'
- enter *7465625*638*# and relock the phone to another network other than the one u have u'r sim card (eg 22610) using the 'unfreeze code'. You won't get any message that it was unlocked, just a bad code message.
- Reboot phone.
And it unfreezes the phone...

When you say it unfreezes the phone, do you mean that you are then able to enter unlock code?

Is your phone rooted? That would be the first step.
Also, would need to know what ROM/version you're running.

What is your operator on what phone is locked?
Sim unlock codes are usualy around 10$ or so, but since cappy is rly common phone probably there are sites with free calculator you time your imei and you got unlock code. you will get your imei with type *#06# on your dialer. . Google to try find free calculator or if there is not then you will have to pay but it's not much. I know for s2 i unlocked for free. there is even application on gplay for s2 unlock also i saw apk for s1 (big chance that cappy is included in this program) I suggest you to try this first, you cant lose anything cuz program will gief you right code if it avalible or it will not gief you anything so you can't type wrong code to many time and lock the phone totaly.
Also i think hard reset , reset trys. not 100% sure.

Thank your post

First root your phone... Then install galaxy s unlock from helroz in Google play... Click unlock.. U can unlock it for free..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium

[Q] can't undo sim lock - any advice?

First off: I am a noob, both here and when it comes to rooting/flashing/etc. I am speed-learning out of necessity LOL
I cant seem to unlock my phone's sim card pin no matter what I do... I have a Samsung Galaxy S gt-19000M, it was purchased in Canada and used for years on the Bell Aliant network. I have now moved to Belgium and would like to use this phone with Base network here. I love this phone and would prefer to not have to buy a new one
But of course when I put in a local sim card it asks for a pin code and Bell Alliant refuses to give it to me.
So I rooted the phone with SuperOneClick, and put on busybox (I thought it was installed through SuperOneClick but the galaxy_s unlock app was complaining of busybox errors), terminal emulator, root file browser and titanium backup.
So far I have tried:
-> galaxy_s unlock app
Result: it looked like it worked but no dice
from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7776555#post7776555
-> Hex edit
Result: still asking for pin code after reboot
-> SGS Unlock Tool apk
Result: cant find codes
-> generate unlock code for windows
Result: errors if my phone is connected to the PC, if I copy nv_data.bin into the folder and run it like that it gives me a code that did not work (20404)
from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8942669&postcount=94
-> attempted setting the pin to "12345678" (it asked for 8 digits)
Result: the inserted pin didnt work
GalaxSim still says it's locked and sounds like the pro version would work but I cant try any paid apps since the only sim card it accepts doesnt have an account attached to it anymore so I have no compatible sim card with a phone account that could be used to pay for an app...
So....... 2 of 3 pin attempts used up and not sure what to do short of a full factory reset >_<
I then did a factory reset, doesn't reset the pin code attempts (of course), galaxy_s unlock and sgs unlock tool still wont work
Now I downloaded a factory rom and am considering to learn how to flash the phone >_>
Fingers crossed I don't brick it!
My question: Am I missing something?
Did I skip something really noobishly obvious?
Please someone tell me I made a stupid mistake and make this all go away!!
Please? >_>
EDIT:
Ok so I'm a noob alright... I think I have been trying stuff for the wrong model -_-
Which means this is probably posted in the wrong forum section too, I'm sorry...
Back to square one I go

[Solved] Lost pin code, no recovery, how do I reset mi 5?

Hello,
I've bought a Mi 5 to my son and he changed the lock screen pin code and subsequently fogot it. Now, without being able to get passed screen lock login, without a recovery, how do I factory reset the phone?
I'm unsuccessful in unlocking the bootloader, the device (Mi 5) is not attached to the account. This attachment is done in the settings which I cannot access because I do not know the pin code.
I've found this article, but no response has been given yet : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/help/mi-5-dead-factory-reset-t3379029
How on earth do I reset the phone? Does anyone know how to do this?
Please please please help me out...
//Jan Stenvall
PS This is a cross post with this article, Ill update this post with whatever finding I get. http://en.miui.com/thread-1016219-1-1.html

Answering my own question:
Warning, this will erase everything on your phone, it's a factory reset.
Connect to your google account, use Find my phone, choose the device and continue logging in. Choose Consider erasing your device, then click Yes.
This will erase everything on the phone and will enable you to access the phone again after reinstalling.

Lost pin code... How to unlock phone?

Help.. I have a Huawei P10 (VTR-L09) with Android 8.0 and stock rom and recovery. I've lost the pin code and now it requires the pin after a phone reboot... So I can't access my phone anymore.
Every solution I find on the internet is either only for Samsung or not supported for this phone. Does anyone know how to unlock it now?
Please note that USB Debugging is not enabled in settings as I got the phone back from repair only a few weeks ago so only got fastboot commands. But I really do not want to factory restore it...
Thanks for any assistance!

You could contact your Phone company and tell them you've lost your Pin and PUK. They only need the Numbers from your Sim-card.

Thx for your message GAMaus, but I've lost the phone pin and not the SIM pin. Do you think they can really help me with that?

my friend was with the same situation, he goes to service center and they fix it but he lose all data.
or try with some gsm repair service maybe they can unlock without losing any data, but if your device is encrypted in my opinion is not possible without factory reset

It's not possible to unlock your phone without the correct PIN. Only chance to get into your phone is to wipe data in eRecovery. But this will remove all your user data except the data on SD.
You're also not able to get your data through TWRP because the /data partition is encrypted. To decrypt, you need your PIN.
But there's one question I have: The P10 has a great fingerprint reader and you're telling me, that you didn't assign your fingerprint for unlocking your phone?

he probably was forced to put his pin because of that 3 days option

Yeah the fingerprint doesn't work after startup because Huawei wants you to remember your pin... But fortunately I could try endless possibilities with the pincode (only sometimes I needed to wait a few hours). But in the end I got the pincode correct, so I can use my phone again
Thanks everyone!
