Hey!
So I used the android SGS unlock app on my Galaxy S GT-I9000T Latin (2.1), and it gave me an unlock code no problem. But when I reboot it with my Rogers (canada) sim card in, it shows me a "network lock" screen with just one "dismiss" button. No option to enter the unlock code.
Anybody know how to get the unlock screen to show on this model?
Thanks for the help, dudes.
Update: tried the *7465625*638*# thing, nothing happens.
I am experiencing the same problem...
I am experiencing the same problem with the same phone on Claro Puerto Rico provider...if you have solved the problem please post how. Thank you!
unable to input inlock code for I9000T
I cannot input the code i al;so have a i9000t from claro pr. If someone knows the method please let me know. Thanks in advance
Same problem, same phone, Mexico Telcel :-(
You can see a screen capture here:

Any ideas?
Thanks to vnamee and helroz for detailled instructions for the Samsung Vibrant Firmware JI6, Just did this on my GT-I9000T and it works great.
Here are the steps to perform the unlock:
You will need root and busybox and something to edit the root, such as Root Explorer or ADB, I used Super Manager, You will need Java on your PC as well.
1) Copy the EFS folder with Root Explorer or ADB to back up
2) In /efs, delete:
nv_data.bin.md5
.nv_data.bak (you may not have this)
.nv_data.bak.md5 (you may not have this)
nv_data.JPC (you may not have this)
nv_data.JPC.md5 (you may not have this)
.nv2.bak (you may not have this)
.nv2.bak.md5 (you may not have this)
3) Reboot your phone and navigate to /efs to see if nv_data.bin.md5 is created. If it is, you are good to go. If you go there right after the phone boots, it may not have been created yet.
4) Put your phone in USB debug mode and connect via USB to computer.
5) Run step 2.bat (this will extract nv_data.bin to your computer)
6) Run reparation_nv_data.jar (I guess you just enter any 8 digit number in the boxes that will be your unlock code. I had entered '00000000'.
7) Run Step 4.bat (this will upload the files to your phone. Make sure the phone is on and when you run it, make sure to keep pressing 'allow' so the program has root access to push the files to your root).
8) After this is done, you can answer 'n' if there were no errors and it should reboot your phone. Phone should be unlocked.
How can be possible that i can be root in the phone shell and apps, but when i want to su in ADB, i get Permission Denied?
Because of this i can't execute successfully .bat scripts...
SGS GT-I9000T
Please help i have this problem in my GT i9000T Claro Guatemala Carrier i locj this steps but is complicated, for this have any Application? thanjs and please help!

That's happening because you probably haven't rooted the phone yet. Thats why you are getting permission denied. Use 4zroot, thats the easiest way to root it.
where is the script
I have the same problem and I tried everything except this script that I don't find.
Please can you tell me where it is ?
still Network lock
I just try the script and still lock. Is this phone locked for ever ? Is that possible ?
Should I try to install a new system on the ROM ?
Network Lock [OFF]
I have
Network Lock [OFF]
but I still can't unlock it.
step 2, step4
After I choose "Wipe cache partition" then I reboot and still "Network Lock" with one choice: Dismiss
I have tried Galaxy S Unlock and SGS Unlock Tool (Pro also), superuser BusyBox, what else...
Why this is so different that what I see on the internet. Is the Telnet (Mexico) Samsung so efficiently locked by the company ?
Serious question: what's next option for me ?
Please help
thanks
Not working, something strange
After trying everything
I have something strange:
If I launch Galaxy S Unlock app
and ask to see Sim Unlock Code
I have a message box
in French(?)
Votre Réponse
Unlock code is: simunloc
Unfreeze code is: unfreeze
if you have FFFFFFFF code,
must use any step 2 for unlock
Something is then locking the phone network over regular code thing....
any idea ?
The GT-I9000T must have a other protection layer somewhere in the software (or hardware ?).
This screen with Network Lock Dismiss seems to be unique in this phone.
Is there a genius around able to find the trick ? Thank you.
Did you really unlock your phone with this ? It doesn't work for me. Telcel probably.
Only way to unlock Telcel's Samsung Android phone is to flash a new fw. The Sim lock is integrated in Telcels FW.
I had to flash my S5830L Galaxy Ace to insert a Movistar SIM.
Sorry - thats the only way.
guidance with flashin my samsung galaxy
Hey unu$ual I am mexican too. I have also tried to unlock to my telcel samsung galaxy s with no success... so far. I have rooted the device, installed the busybox app and Samsung_s unlock app. At the end of the procedure, when i tried with the *#7465625# command it says the Network lock is [off], but when i restart it the annoying message "Network locked, Dismiss" appears.
So, i think i want to follow your advice and I´ll have to flash it with a new fw. Any advice? I'd appreciate if you can share with me the software, firmware version that you used, and if possible the procedure.
Thanks in advance.
Peace up!

I have tried all that in different firmwares (including CyanogenMod) without success. (telcel i9000)
Network Lock
Anyone find a way to network unlock. I'm on Claro Guatemala and want to unlock and upgrade the ROM. I have the code but I get the famous "lock screen"
Which 3rd party firmware works on Telcel/Claro I9000T?
Ok, it's been a few months since the last post here, so I'll give it a try. I am ready to try a 3rd party firmware on my Claro I9000T but I would like to confirm which firmware works with full 3G+ AND gets rid of the network lock screen.
Has anyone been succesful?
Can anyone help i have upgraded my phone after much trouble trying to unlock it via market apps & superoneclick neither worked and the phone ended up going into some dead mode and wouldnt fully load up.
So in still trying to end up with a network unlocked phone i have managed to upgrade my phone to GINGERBREAD.XXJVQ 2.3.4 which was successful and work perfectly over my broadband wireless network but when i try to make calls it tell me
"MOBILE NETWORK NOT AVAILABLE"
the mobile was previously on three uk network but is now debranded obviously with gingerbread
i tried a hard reset via *2767*3855* but still no change.
any help greatly appreciated many thanks in advance

Just look like your phone have been locked on three network.and your unlock is failed.
Did you try found any phone shop on market to unlock your phone?
probably just five pound for each one on Chinatown.
I was stay in UK for 3 year,and as I know, the Chinatown guys have special device for unlock phone ,one simply for all,whatever you upgrade rom,you will be never locked again.
I'm not sure about that really cause it also does this with my correct network sim card still installed......
You've checked your apn settings? Sounds top suspect to me.
If you've still got problems, flash ezbase gingerbread. Search dev section, full, simple instructions included.
I tried that it tells me i should
"insert a sim card to access network services"
Could you point me in the right direction so i know im using the right programs and files
Please check your IMEI number by dialing *#06# on the keypad. If it displays the correct imei number as displayed on the Phone box/ under the battery, then you are saved. If not you have lost your efs folder which contains the files which hold the imei data.
Did u get the phone with Gingerbread as stock rom? Try downgrading to an Eclair (2.1) ROM with Odin.
hello again peoples,
I'm very grateful for all your assistance but i just wasn't paying attention when i was putting my SIM card into my phone and put it in the wrong way round...!
i mean what happened to SIM card slots where sim cards only fit in one way...!
again thanks alot for all your assistance also i've ended up upgrading to Insanity 2.3.5
Thank s
this thread is just for lollipop 5.x m7wls (sprint) based on sense roms
no need to S-OFF
if you are on kitkat or less here or here if you are on the stock ODEX rom
1 - you need just to unlock bootloader from htcdev.com
2 - TWRP or any other here is the TWRP for m7wls(sprint)
3 - flash SuperSU
4 - its time to flash HtcOMADM_SPCS
5 - install sim unlock helper.apk
6 - Insert your SIM card, you may see this massage No Network Found
Code:
Select "YES" to switch to global mode
Select "NO" to stay in the current mode
but do not worry since your phone dose not say invalid sim card . so now go to setting , mobile data . and chose GSM/UMTS only. tell now you wont see any signal , just scroll down to Available GSM netowrks ,then Search networks you will see a list of networks and only one that is available, chose it .
now if you want to stop the annoying vDM crash massage flash the stock-HtcOMADM_SPCS .
Its better to relock your bootloader and flash the RUU rom so every thing works well and you wont see the No Network massage again .
That's it ^_*
it really works but, it didn´t solve my problem i guess my problem is not sim unlock i can not have signal for gsm it stuck in CDMA but in *#*#4636#*#* it shows up like radio turned off i want to turning on but i can not,:crying:
anyway thanks:good::good:
I've tried your guide and elvisypi's guide, but neither work. I'm using a rooted M7, lollipop, stock ROM.
When using the SIM Unlock Helper app, I get "OS Check Fail! You aren't running HTC Sense!", but if I hit the back button I end up at a screen that states "Device verified, root available, sense rom (yes)". Hitting Start does open up the menu, but never before a vDM client crash. After hitting Sim Unlock and it hanging for a few seconds, the log is empty after hitting back to return to the unlock helper. The screen says "Log empty, did you run the program first?"
It seems to me that "vDM" is what is supposed to be doing the work, and it's crashing so it can't...
when OS Check Fail! appears to you press Display SIM Unlock Log then go back and press start and scroll down to sim lock
if that menu did not appear to you try flashing this instead

Not unlocking
Hi I am have bootloader unlocked, intalled TWRP, and rooted. Tried with Stock Sprint Lollipop ROM and menu would not pop up. Flashed to Viperone 8.0 and I am able to bring up the menu. Once Sim Lock unhighlights I hit the back button and get the SIM unlocked successful message. The reboot in that screen does not work for me so have to hold power button down and reboot. I have changed settings to GSM and WCMDA preferred. Next pop in an ATT SIM and a Cricket but still get invalid SIM. Any ideas? Also, I am S-On as I have been unable to off with HBoot 1.61
Hi, I bought a Sprint HTC One M7 (running 5.0.2) from someone figuring that I'd be able to unlock for use on Verizon (because every phone can be unlocked...... right? ). I first unlocked the bootloader with HTCDev, ok good. Then I ordered a SIM unlock code off the interwebs thinking that I could just go get a Verizon SIM from them and then enter the code when prompted. Took the phone to Verizon and they couldn't help, said that IMEI was not valid and they couldn't give me a new SIM because the current phone I have (Incredible 2) isn't eligible for a SIM only upgrade, then they said I should just purchase an upgrade with the EDGE plan (yeah right). I then used the SIM card of a friend who has an M7 on Verizon hoping that I'd be prompted for the SIM unlock code then, but I only got "invalid SIM......"
So, I stumbled upon this thread and followed the procedure to flash TWRP, then SuperSU, confirmed that I'm rooted, and then flashed HtcOMADM_SPCS_2.zip, and ran SIM unlock helper. I got the same error as the other guy "OS Check Fail" and vDM client crashed, but then I press back and go through the SIM lock part and reboot. So now I can put my friend's Verizon SIM in and I get no SIM error, but I am still not prompted to input the unlock code for my IMEI. Any Ideas, or is it not even possible to use a Sprint M7 on Verizon?
EDIT: I am now S-off with sunshine (hboot 1.61)
EDIT 2: Ok, now I'm getting to a point where I put my friend's SIM in and it prompts "preparing SIM", "SIM card inserted, tap to complete setup". Once I tap the notification, I get taken to a screen that says select your carrier. It takes a little while to load the carriers but Verizon appears, but after I select verizon, the page disappears and nothing further happens. It then repeats the loop from "preparing SIM".
EDIT 3: From TWRP I wiped all data including the OS. Then I got stuck at the splash screen, reflashed [STOCK ROM] [5.0.2] [SENSE 6] Sprint 6.16.651.2 rooted from phonegeekjr (PhoeniROM ?)

I think You need to change the CDMA via DFS so it can be recognized by SIM card
Why
Sprint always use the CDMA as PRL that you can write it via DFS while Verizon use this type of network as a SIM card so that after using sim unlock helper your phone dose not say "invalid SIM" but it didnt show the network signal
As far as I know, the Sprint and Verizon M7s have custom radios operating at their carrier frequencies. Sprint's frequency band is not the same as Verizon's, and even after unlocking, the radio can only scan within its band. Your radio simply can't see Verizon's tower. It seems like your process completely worked, though.
I haven't gotten the chance to try again, but I am planning to eventually.
Also, it is possible to S-OFF through any other method than Sunshine? It'd be nice not to have to pay for that... Is S-OFF absolutely required to SIM unlock/ flash custom roms/ change files at the root level?
This does NOT work...
I think it is pretty obvious that THIS METHOD DOES NOT WORK...
I basically ran the latest RUU - Sprint Stock ROM which put my phone to Lollipop 5.0.2 - Sense 6.0, HBOOT 1.61, S-ON
I unlocked bootloader with HTC DEV, installed the latest TWRP, and rooted the phone, so it is all LATEST and GREATEST as of this post date...
I ran BOTH of the HtcOMADM_SPCS_2 files - both OLD and NEW - and neither one works. NEW is actually worse because the vDM client crashes each time you even try to launch the SIM UNLOCK HELPER app.
With the OLD file you can get to the menu and you can click on SIM LOCK, but nothing gets written to the log before or after reboot, plus when you go to *#*#4636#*#* you can select the connection type, since it is set to CDMA but every time I change it to - GSM only - it will reset to CDMA only when I go back in. So the change refuses to save and I keep getting that prompt saying:
No Network Found
Select "YES" to switch to global mode
Select "NO" to stay in the current mode
So it seems to want to force you back to CDMA mode.
If we are supposed to be running a CUSTOM ROM then please say so, but I am testing with the STOCK ROM and it seems others are NOT having any luck.
So if someone has it working then just let us know WHICH ROM you are using and which files you are using, because it sounds like we are being asked to QA the hack...
Moving on to another solution now...
:crying:
P.S.
Why is someone posting about a VERIZON phone in the Sprint section, kick them out because they add to the confusion...
Wow! OP was edited with a fix 4 hours after I'd figured it out myself. Just made an account to clarify that you need to downgrade the radio if it's too new. I had a lot of trouble trying to unlock it before figuring that out (and I went through an entire series of downgrading and flashing multiple ROMs until I found it out). Here's a guide I made that worked for me.
Have an unlocked bootloader first with HTCDev like said in OP. There's no need to have S-OFF or downgrade anything except radio.
1. Install TWRP.
2. Flash a lollipop ROM (I used Viper 8.0.0) using TWRP. (You can probably skip steps 2 and 3 if you're already on lollipop.)
3. Once booted, go through first time set up.
4. Restart into TWRP and install SuperSU.
5. Reboot and flash the radio (1.00.20.0315_1.29.651.7.zip from elvisypi's thread) and then flash HtcOMADM_SPCS.zip (I used the 4.3 version from chas123) using TWRP.
7. Reboot into System and install the com.viper.simunlockhelperfree.apk (Below; couldn't find where I got it from) then go to display log, press back, press start, then scroll down and press simlock. You could probably also do this using the Terminal method.
8. Wait a few seconds until it unfreezes and reboot.
9. Once rebooted, plug in your sim and go to the phone dial and put in *#*#4636#*#*. Go to Phone Information and set the network to WDCMA preferred. (It might spam you with "No Network Found," so just check do not show again and press No to switching to global mode.)
10. Exit out and open Settings then go to Mobile data and make sure the Network mode is set to GSM/UMTS Only. Scroll down and go to Access point names. (Found steps 10-13 from savage25rcracer while searching through the forums.)
11. In the APNs, choose your carrier and press back.
12. Go to Available GSM networks and press Search Networks.
13. Wait until it finishes and select your carrier.
14. Now you should have service and you are now unlocked on lollipop.
One problem I have is that when data is turned off, it never connects back to data when turned back on and I have to repeat steps 9-13. Any help with that would be appreciated. I did this method with HBoot 1.61 and S-ON and I am using a T-Mobile Sim. Hopefully this works for you guys!
EDIT:
Turns out that switching it to GSM Auto (PRL) made it automatically reconnect for turning data on and off, but data doesn't work after reboot until I repeat step 12.
Check my older post I have a fix for the in an out signal and it reconnects automatically... Thank me later. Spread the word... It's well worth it. I use it.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app
i tried with STOCK & Viper ... not working
with Stock SIMunlockhelper didnt give me MENU after i hit START
with viper it takes about 2 mins freezing when i hit SIMLOCK... then still nohting after reboot Network operator DIMED & alot of times it give me ERROR (vDM Client isn't responding)
NOTE : on lock screen it says (Invalid Card)
It doesn't say invalid sim,i selected ATT from the list of the carriers,i selected GSM/UMTS under mobile settings but my Network Operators Menu is grey and i can't select ATT there.Any ideas.
REVISTED - Did this work?!

Well, it seems this is the ONLY SOLUTION that worked for me, because I tried the Bad Boyz custom ROM that some others have suggested but it does NOT seem to work and there are "bugs" like the status\notification bar disappearing when you start to mess with the ROM. I flashed the Viper 8.0.0 ROM with TWRP and everything loaded properly except for one little "bug", which is this constant non-stop blinking NFC icon in the status bar so I might have to find another ROM. I wish I did not upgrade, so if you have ANY HBOOT under 1.61 - DO NOT UPGRADE WITH OFFICIAL ROM - because once you have 1.61 then you cannot S-OFF although you can downgrade the radio with S-ON and it is just a matter of unlocking the bootloader.
2 Notes:
1. Make sure you install SuperSU and do not rely on the Viper version, so let it uninstall any other SuperSU after installing from the Play Store. I believe the SuperSU installation will fail for you if you install through TWRP, but ViperROM should be rooted and instead install SuperSU from the Play Store if TWRP installation fails.
2. When you run "SIM UNLOCK helper" it WILL FAIL the first time, because you need to have SuperSU give it permission so make sure you go to the LOG in the options. Afterwards, make sure you close everything and remove from latest apps list. Then run again, when it fails then open LOG then hit BACK and now it will show you that you PASSED THE TEST. Then START then scroll down to SIM LOCK and wait like a minute or more because it took a LONG TIME for mine to un-freeze but then I hit REBOOT once it came back which is right there in the same list. If you doubt it, then reboot and do again but I was able to get it to work and then when I changed options in 4636 it would look for my SIM and did not give me any errors.
Anyway, I was able to follow all the steps here and the key seems to be downgrading the radio, because nothing seemed to work until I downgraded the radio version and then I tested it with both an AT&T and T-Mobile chip that I have lying around. The T-Mobile chips seem to work with no problems as others have noted, so you are able to make changes, register on the network, and set it up but I had problems with AT&T although I got farther than with any other modification. The AT&T chip will let you select the AT&T network, but you will not be able to scan for networks and you get NO BARS although it seems to be connecting or doing something although I suspect AT&T or something in the software is blocking you from connecting 100%.
So I cannot say 100% this SIM UNLOCK worked, but at least I was able to get to options that I could not get to before and I tried BOTH chips and only the T-Mobile chip seemed to work without any problems, so I suspect what others have reported is true and the Sprint HTC ONE M7 seems to be giving you problems with DOMESTIC US Carriers. I will be able to make a DEFINITIVE test in 2 months, because I am going to Peru and I might as well take this phone with me so I will test the Sprint HTC One M7 with both Claro and Telefonica SIMs down there. I will even try to update to the LATEST Sprint Official ROM to see if the unlock stays and if I am able to get GSM to work with overseas SIMs then the SIM UNLOCK worked, but you might as well not bother using it in the United States, so hopefully this will help others once I post an update after July and this will end up my "overseas" battle phone unless I pawn it off over there.
See you then...

Yep.that's exactly what i've got-i did radio downgrade and was able to run SIM unlock app,but i can't get ANY signal from ATT and my GSM network selection menu is greydout. Any ideas how i can make it work?Suggestion from OP?
i tried both methods ... same results (Not Working)
WLS Hboot 1.61.0000 with stock Lollipop all steps DONE but it says on lock screen INVALID SIM & SIM UNLOCK HELPER didnt show menu after hit start
on viper 8.0 also it says INVALID SIM on lock screen .. when i hit start its show MENU then i hit SIM LOCK it freez about 2 mins then it give me error (VDM isnt responding).. so i tried to flash HtcOMADM_SPCS.zip again then tried to flash Stock-HtcOMADM_SPCS.zip ... the same
what should i do ????
