no problem Out of interest , which method did you use?
I used both of them, and i got same unlock pin code in either case. I think that second one (one with pushing .sh file) is a little bit easier to read. Greetings, and thank you once again.

I used both methods also and got same code. now if there was a way to unlock the device once and not have to unlock everytime a sim is changed that would be awesome.

Solar... one you input a simunlock code it should permanently enable any sim to be used?
That tested on mine, i have 4 different sims with other providers and they all worked and after seeing this they still do

I tried to follow the instructions however I never got the unlock code or I am just being dumb when I use method 2 my results are identical to your 2nd screenshot,
there is no 3rd line of text?
Using the first option what I see is very similar to your first screenshot with Vodafone instead of O2. But again no code that I can see.
I have tried inserting simcards from t-mobile and O2 however I never get asked to enter a code. Not that I have a code to enter, I wish I could work out where I am going wrong.

The phone is a friends who got it from someone it was on vodafone rru and had the branding on startup and shut down, before I rooted it and put on CWM and Nameless Rom, but when I try my t-mobile sim card it doesn't get a signal for when, unfortunately I do not know if this was an issue as it wasn't supplied to me with a sim card.
I will contact my friend and see if he can supply me his sim card so I can test it. Hopefully as you say it is unlocked. Not sure when i will get the sim card to be able to test it though.

hmmm when you say doesnt get signal.... i wonder if its because its a vodafone branded desire C... it will have everything for Voda hard wired in the device... and wont have any t-mo APNs etc. TMo arent exactly friendly when it comes to APN info unlike other providors like O2 & Voda
I wonder if that is the issue is that no data APNs are selected....

If you want to get your unlock code, you need to flash a Custom Rom, NAmeless For Example.
Once thats been done, you can install busybox and follow the instructions and you get your code.
i managed to succesfully unlock my Desire C
its a stock phone, bought it from Asda UK - on T-Mobile network
although it doesent have any t-mobile branding or carrier apps or boot up logo like most phones have
after unlocking my bootloader and using r1-superuser Root, it went very smooth
but one thing i did notice that seems odd, my IMEI is different in the command shell
to what is displayed in the phone
xxxxxxxxx584298 - displayed from phone
xxxxxxxxx5842901 - displayed on the command shell

Try this
#7465625*638*Unlock code#
i used BWolf56's advice and superoneclick (by CLShortFuse) rooted my captivate but didnt unlock it because i had already updated from eclair to froyo. I tried to hex edit using NovaChief's instructions on the thread

-(thread Posted by manojsuper) but this method was way over my head (im a noob.)
I used helroz's unlock without code program(galaxy_s unlock) and it worked with wifi connection without a sim. after unlocking i went to my phone dialer and pressed *#7465625# and it said unlocked. then i put my chinese sim in and it worked like magic.
i feel your pain. stick with it and you will get it done.
maybe my experience will be of some help. you can read my thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062078
dont forget to thanks the guys and donate to the developers of the programs.
also i think you need busybox and wifi connection to use helroz's program which is fricken awesome. and BWolf56, thanks again.
u dont need an AT&T sim...even i opened my captivate here in India (no AT&T)...i booted it up...rooted it...used one click root and one click unlock...it gave me the code...as simple as that!
where did you get one click root and one click unlock? ive tried the super one click and it said pass word blocked

There's an app on the market called "Galaxy_S Unlock". It works without a SIM. I just used it on the refurb I got last night. It's a 1012 build, that came with UCKB2. Worked like a champ. I put an old T-Mobile SIM card in it to test it and it picked up a signal and showed T-Mobile in the notification area.

So, basically, I got a new pay-as-you-go SIM and I don't want to buy a new phone for it. I was looking for methods to unlock my current galaxy ace, it's rooted and I have a custom ROM on it- The Ultimatum by The "A" Factor. I got my unlock codes and put the SIM in expecting to get a screen saying phone is locked, please put in unlock code or something similar that usually happens. However nothing came up but when the phone finished booting, I had no service and can't use it for calls or anything which suggests that the phone is still locked, I tried using the *#7465525# service code, but I got an error saying no service or incorrect MUDI code or something like that. Is it possible that flashing a new ROM wiped the unlocking procedures and is there anyway for me to know if my phone is unlocked and if not, can I still unlock it?

Didn't show you nothing to introduce the code?¿

If it doesn't work you could phone to the device's carrier, the carrier must help you if you finished your contract

I do have another SIM from another carrier, but the screen isn't showing up, I've been scouring the internet and found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335548 , turns out it won't show because of my ROM, so I'll have to switch to stock like you said, before I do that though I'll try that code he said at the end to see if it will unlock.

Hello guys. I have a bit of a problem. I have bought a Droid 3 , blocked on Verizon and it doesn't ask me for the unlock code. I searched everywhere and did not come with an answer. I have to mention that I am from Europe and the person that had the phone before, tried to put the codes more than one times and that may be the cause. Can this be fixed? Thx.

Hi, did you try to leave the phone on for about 2 hours? It should ask you to insert the unlock code at a certain point, even if the maxumim number of tries has been reached.
Is it XT862 model?

You're welcome.
I don't think you did something wrong, you just have to type that code in the dialer and when you insert the last '*' symbol the prompt should appear. I tried it on my Milestone 2 (that has never been locked) and it works.
Are you running the stock GB rom or there is a custom one installed?
Did you try with another SIM card?

Hello,
i have a Sprint HTC One from a Friend, he bought it in the US not knowing it was Simlocked and took it to Germany. He gave it to me to make it possible to use it here with our T-Mobile Network. I have already being able to remove the Simlock but there is one thing i cant remove, its the damn Activation Process from Sprint. The Phone can be used now but its anoying every time you start the divice. Also its not possible to flash a AOSP Rom because it doesnt let me get trough the setup process without activating. Is there any possibility to ged rid of the Activation Process? I didnt find this in the Forum but when there is a Thread about this already pls give me a link. Thank you!

If u flash an aosp it is possible to bypass activation. Since the activation is part of the gapps all u have to do is flash an aosp then boot and then when ur in just boot back to the recovery and flash the gapps and u should be good.

The device doesn't have to be initialized to be flashed. You can get the bootloader unlocked using the developer token and then fastboot flash in the ROM you want.
No, he wants to have it SIM Unlocked to use with GSM carriers over in Germany. He hates how it attempts to activate on Sprints network every time he boots up. He doesn't want that. He has no issues unlocking bootloader. All he needs to do is install ROM through recovery but do not install GApps until setup is complete.

Okay, i have already flashed other Roms but the Sprint Roms have the activation and with the aosp i cant get Signal in the german Networks..
That, I believe is merged into the Phone.apk but it may not be.

Assuming you're trying to GSM unlock, you need to be rooted and do that command in Android Terminal Emulator.
However, you can just use this and it will do it automatically.

Same issue
I have an unlocked Sprint HTC One M7, but it kept dropping the network. After some research, I was led to believe that if I changed the setting to WCDMA Preferred, I wouldn't have to keep selecting T-Mobile as my network. I dialed *#*#4636#*#* and changed the necessary setting, but it did not work. THEN I became curious and accidentally selected some kind of lock. I erased my entire OS and had to flash a Stock Rom (Rooted and Deodexed however) using OTG/USB. BUT THE PHONE IS STILL LOCKED :crying:. Someone who knows what they are doing please help me with this $500 Paperweight. I'm learning the hard way apparently. BTW, I don't care about the SIM unlocking issue anymore. I just need to be able to use the phone.

Kk. I've tried to do the fix even though it probably wouldn't affect anything, and it didn't work. It might've been because I was on 4.4.2, and the guide was probably made when Jelly Bean was out, so Sprint might've patched it. Anyways, let me know if you get it working and post your steps on how you did it if you followed it differently.
