Docomo Galaxy Tab [SC01COMJK2] unlocked..sort of

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!

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?

need help unlocking focus flash, sim error

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.

Network lock P970, desn't ask for code

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.

[Q] Bought unlock code,but just"network unlock unsuccessful"

I bought many unlock code for ATT NOTE 3 from one of my trusted site, which unlocked many of my NOTE 3s and iPhones in the past months.
However, this time, the situation is I got the code from the them, followed same precedure, entered unlock code, and the phone just showing "network unlock unsuccessful" .
the phone is brand new bought from ATT store, and double checked IMEI, which matches box, phone, and *#06#'s IMEI. so the IMEI is correct, the website checked the unlock code is correct also.
but I just can't get my phone to unlock this time, always showing "network unlock unsuccessful" with the correct unlock code. anyone has any clue and why?
PS:have tried following method, NONE of them worked, either not working method or can't find UMTS option in my note 3.

As far as I know, you have to actually activate the Note 3 on its original network first. If you have an AT&T SIM, pop it in and turn the phone on.
Then switch SIM, cards and input your unlock code.
Cellunlocker.net will tell you that the device has to be activated on its original network first.

If one has the correct code, it should just work, there shouldn't be any need to do anything else other than enter the code.

How did you get it, filled that request form or called them? I tried to request it online but it says device not eligible or something similar.

No network ! P10 on EMUI 9.1.0 not asking for SIM CARD PIN code at start-up

Hello,
I bought a new sim card with a new plan. it came with enabled 0000 pin code.
The problem is my P10 is not showing the message at start-up asking me for the pin code.. and i couldn't get network. I'm stuck at ''emergency calls only''.
Anyone has an idea about this problem ?
PS: i don't have any other devises on which i can delete the pin code.

I tried and it does not work.. it's like the device is not reading the SIM at all. when i try to set a sim lock (i know from my operator that it's already locked on 0000) it just said wrong code, remaining attempts: 3.

(If you have Dual SIM model) have you tried in both slots
Also, are you sure that the phone is unlocked for that operator
I doubt, if you would even remove lock for that SIM on another phone, that P10 would still show Emergency calls only

Yes, it's a dual sim model, i did try in both slots.. same result for the new sim with the preset PIN.. but i can set a code for the second sim (does not have a pin code).
The phone is unlocked for all operators.. it's just that it does not ask for pin code at start-up.. and acts like it didn't read pin locked sim cards at all.. it's not the first time i find myself searching for another device to delete the pin code.
