Hello,
I want to unlock my mobile in order to change my telephone company, so I asked the company for the code to unlcok it through imei.
They give it to me and I tried, but always said that is not valid. I asked to the telephone company again and they told me that the code they provide me is the one that samsung gave to them.
I have reading in different forums and looks like that my problem is that my galaxy is on version 4.0.4 and some commands doesn't work.
As i have one more try I'm thinking to downgrade the mobile to a gingerbread version, and try again. But if fails my mobile will be blocked... Do you know any application to check the attemps to unblock my mobile and if it is necessary reset the counter?
I have tried the comand *#7465625#, but it says that is not valid....
Thanks in advanced and sorry for my english!

I just flashed my SGS to JM8 through KIES from JF5.
It was very strange. The first few times it kept giving an error that got me sweating and said I needed to restore my FW. Still, nothing happened, there was no option to do it.
After the last time it did I told myself, "Last time trying and then go to ODIN!".
When I pressed update again the phone said "Can't update, need to restore ROM". So I did. After restoring my ROM was JM8 and all my data was still on the phone!
I was really happy, given that I've read that all my settings and data would be cleaned out!
Still, now comes the problem! I wanted to release the NETLOCK from my SGS and the software asks me if I have an SNS and doesn't give me any codes!!!
How can I get my codes now??
Thanks for your help!
Have you already tried to restore your bachup of /efs?
My Help was to delete the nav Files then reboot and my IMEI was back again..
The most recent firmwares just erase the unlock codes from nv_data.bin and from nv_data.bak.. You should have unlocked it before the upgrade.. Now the codes aren't on the phone anymore, so, there is no known method of obtain the codes from you phone.
Now the only way is to purchase the codes, from TMN (or not)...
Hi there, I have the same problem....
JM8 firmware and unlock applications not working.
I bought a code from cellunlocker.net but it doesnt work and now I am waiting for their assistance (another code?)
Do you now a site which we can buy a working code for unlocking a jm8 from TMN? But one that works....
help!

I bought SGS from 2nd hand for my girlfriend. Seller said that phone is locked for Virgin (UK). I successfully removed simlock from my SGS (O2) before so i thougt that shouldn't be a problem for me now. But it is.
I checked with *#7465625# that simlock and all other locks are OFF (before i used phone with SIM). When I put any other SIMs than Virgin I get "Emergency calls only" message. Virgin SIM cards work perfect.
I tried remove lock (but there is no lock ???) with all methods from this forum and still have no reception with non Virgin SIM. I checkd 2.1, 2.2.1, and 2.3.4 stock roms and is same.
How I can resolve my problem?
Its possible if u have been using Odin that you have changed the CSC file, which is the modem, which receives signal. Does Virgin receive a signal ?
Yes, Virgin recive signal. Problem was before I flash any rom by odin.
I can see signal bars when non virgin but can't make call. Only emergency.
Maybe I can use some files from my unlocked and working mobile?
Ok, go here http://www.samfirmware.com/apps/profile/76570387/
You will need to register free, and you will loose root but thats easy sorted, download the latest 2.2 for the i9000 and flash it with Odin. Let me know if it helps, and be carefull with Odin, read all instructions carefully. Though i think the 2.2 is just one file, there for it goes into PDA in Odin.
You may also be sim-locked again, im unsure and im no expert at this. Or theres another site that helped me out. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/xxjvp-android-2-3-4-firmware-galaxy-s-install-and-download/
Then go here to root http://www.theandroidsoul.com/root-xxjvp-firmware/
Let me know how u get on

I try to use few firmwares but it not change anything. I think that might be problem with nv_data.bin file. In my opinion someone try remove lock, failed, forgot to backup file and sold mobile to 2nd hand shop.
I have another full working sgs. Maybe I can copy some files and/or edit in hex editor?
Edit
Maybe someone can share me his nv_data.bin from locked or unlocked Virgin mobile please?
Sorry about link, but thats the site for the official firmwares from Samsung. I cant help you with copying files man, I know nothing about it.
Help!
I bought a O2X and didn't know he was blocked. When attempting to unlock the following message appeared:
"This phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked"
Can anyone help me? He came blocked by the operator Movistar.
Tks
Return it and ask for a refund?
Sent using gum and some sticks just as McGyver would
Change sim card, turn on device while holding volume down key, do a factory reset, flash a baseband which also does a factory reset.
Those are my tips.
it seems that the carrier locked it by imei... probably the phone was stolen from someone and the person "participate?!" it to the carrier / police...
solution? bring it to someone with an box and change the imei or clean it. i heard about some android phones when flashing some cooked rom they lost the imei but i dont know if that happend with p990..
Yeap... unintended change of imei does happen specifically when using CM roms, there is even a tutorial somewhere in the forum here on how to restore your original imei for o2x. So instead of restoring to original imei...you can use same technique to change the imei. Use the search function.
Hi everybody, my brother gave a gift i9305 from UK, I'm living in Turkey and I dont want to pay any taxes to the goverment, and i want to copy my old phone's imei to the i9305 ( If citizens bought device out of Turkey, we have to pay taxes for IMEI register and have to proof with my passport)
I have I9305 EVR. I did NV Backup from EFS pro and software did it successfuly but when i tried to connect the phone again via qualcomm tools ı get error, "SPC was rejected by the phone". (SPC 000000)
Is it possible to delete/change SPC code by EFSpro after NV backup
On the otherhand when i untick "sent spc", Efspro can connect and read from phone ( gives "Error SPC not found" but when i click ok software continue reading) out of ESN and MEID.
ESN and MEID is null, but IMEI is correct.
Is it possible to fix or learn SPC code. I installed supersu busybox,,I9305 Cwm Recovery, Stock kernel and Stock rom
Also i tried other softwares such as VDS, QPST, CMDA workshop even UNICMDA and MLS,,,not working, not working...
Do you have any opinion for this situation? Today will be my forth sleepless night.
By the way i restored from NVbackups but problem not solved,I'm wondering Is it possible to restore backups correctly while SPC code not working ?
Is it possible to change SPC code by manufacturer / dealer from internet, there is no sim inside phone but Wi-fi connection available and i used google play from this phone.
Thank you for your answers, solutions.
Copying IMEI between phones is illegal and a forbidden subject on XDA.

I have the MM 6.0 OS installed via RUU,and my phone is eligible for unlock but I cannot for the life of me get this phone to work and unlock every time I try to hit unlock it tells me failure anybody else experienced this I will upload a screen shot there are some new settings in the new device unlock app reset SLB and the device unlock version is 2. - .31
Bump,noone on metro pcs has had this issue?
i have the same issue after updating to the latest android version 6.0.1
I contacted customer service but their operator won't let me talk to "that someone" it will just end the call on me even though bills are paid on time. They have the worst customer service . I went to the store where i bought the phone and they told me chat online !! They don't even have one
****.. so it was the update after all. I also updated to MM, and then the sim unlock tool would always fail immediately.
I called Metro PCS several times, they can't help me.
We need to go back to Lollipop to get that sin unlock app running, but it seems it's not easy to do this.
So I wrote a guide, thanks to @GotHeart 's advice.
Follow this guide and you should be able to downgrade to Lollipop and run the stupid sim unlock app.
