Network lock P970, desn't ask for code - LG Optimus Black

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.

enter network control key?

hey guys
i just got my phone, and it was fine but had no service, so i flashed a compatible modem, and now i get enter unlock network control key
is there anyway to fix this or did i break it?
Can you operate the phone without the SIM ?? or without inputting the code ??
If so put this into the dialer *#7465625# and all options should be off.
let me know what it says. you can remove network locks pretty easy, theres an app in the market, and even a whole thread about it somewhere on here..
Enter Network Lock Key Galaxy I900T
I have a Samsung GT-I900T and is unlocked but is requesting me "Enter Network Lock Key".
I already enter again the unlock code and is incorrect. Any Help?
Thanks!
I have typed in the code *#7465625# and the network lock is on. Can this be changed?
Sorry, I think nobody know how to answer your question.

Did you honestly just assume no one can help him because no one has helped him yet? Don't be ridiculous. That's absurd.
I am curious about if there is a solution to this ... i haven't run into this problem ... but imagine it might pop up.

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?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843323
- 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.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
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?

How to unlock LG thrill?

is their a method available for unlocking the lg Thrill? I have searched but have not found anything.
no not unless u buy a code or get one from your carier
AT&T, if so ring them and ask for the unlock code. Odd I know but there are a few of us that have done that and they have happy given it to us.

Really?, c'mon dud, you can get them for $1 on ebay
Okay, so if you have some balls, you can unlock your phone yourself. Check the Optimus 3D forums here for the IMEI Restore/SIM Unlock thread and follow the instructions there. NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART OR THOSE UNSKILLED!

LG Thrill AT&T : cannot find network unlock screen (got PIN but can't enter it)
Hey guys,
Does anyone have any idea about how to reach the Network unlock screen on the LG Thrill 4G (Biohazard 4.2 ROM) AT&T.
The phone's locked and I got the unlock pin from eBay but even when I restart the phone with the non-AT&T SIM card I never see any screen that asks me to enter the unlock pin.

=======================================================
How to unlock:
1. insert a non allowed sim card such as AT&T, etc. and turn phone on.
2. It will show show invalid sim and then the network unlock screen should popup.
3. Tap on the entry area and enter the provided unlock code
(Make sure you have entered the carefully and exactly as shown (numbers only))
4. Press the unlock button. The phone will then perform the network unlock process. This process only takes a few seconds.
5.Congratulations! Your phone is now unlocked to use with any sim from any GSM carrier worldwide.
*****IF THE ABOVE DOES NOT WORK TRY THIS METHOD**********
Below are instructions that work for most network providers:
P990, P999, P970, P920 and similar LG Android phones. Simply enter a non-approved sim, turn on the phone, enter the NCK and press unlock. That's it the phone will then process the code and in about 15 seconds it will be permanently sim unlocked. It his does not work you can dial a secret code to bring up the unlock menu. The secret code is "2945#*XXX#". Replace XXX with the numeric part of your model number (for example for the P999 dial 2945#*999# on your phone). Then enter the code and press unlock.
=======================================================
I personally had issues unlocking until I flashed a stock ROM. Specifically, I used the stock ATT Froyo ROM.

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.

Locked 8.9"AT&TLTE Tab

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:
