Sim Unlock Not Working - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I am trying to unlock my new z1 bought from EE, I have bought a network unlock code, i recieved 4 and none of them worked it says 'could not unlock network'
Anyway after a bit of research I understand that this might help anyone who understands it work out my problem :
[x] network [0]
[]network subset [0]
[]service provider [0]
[]corporate [0]
[]sim [0]
Would be awesome if anyone could help me out?

[x] network [0] usually begins life as
[x] network [5]
Meaning that there is a network lock, and there are 5 attempts left to enter the code. In addition to the four codes you have tried to enter, have you also tried entering other codes?

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.

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?

[Q] Xperia Z, sim locked, 244 version

Hi guys! I just bought a used xperia z and it is updated to 244 version. I want to get rid of the carrier lock because I have no idea what carrier it is, and when putting my sim in the phone it just tells me "emergency calls only".
So, I have read about rooting and unlocking bootloader etc. What I have not figured out is witch of these actually unlocks the sim
I have no warranty so I don't care at all about that. Is it a good idea to root and unlock?
The problem is that when entering service menu and looking at SIM lock its like this:
[] Network 0
[] Network subset 0
[] Service provider 0
[] Corporate 0
[] SIM 0
Am i screwed or is it possible anyway?
I also got stuck at flashtool because my windows8 64bit has issues with usb drivers. I think I need a windows7 32 system to do it right?
PS. I can also buy the unlock code but if I read correctly because it now says 0 tries left that is no longer an option!?
My handset is SIM unlocked and the SIM lock section looks exactly like yours.
Perhaps try another SIM in the phone.
FYI, neither rooting or unlocking the bootloader affect the status of the SIM lock in any way.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 4
I have tried 2 different SIM cards from different carriers. So what is the suggestion to do now? If neither rooting or unlocking bootloader will do the magic?
Hm, the guys over at htccode say they can unlock for 50dollars even though it says 0 tries left. Does it sound legit?

i believe that your phone is network blocked.
that phone will never get network whatever simcard you use. it will only work if the imei is changed(its impossible), or use the phone in another country(it will not be network blocked in that country).
edit: and probably the phone is allready sim unlocked!
Yeah that is what I believe to. Seems it is stolen so its blocked. Trying to get money back from the guy, otherwise I will sell it to someone outside sweden Thanks

Xperia T is Hard Locked

Hey everyone.
I am having a real problem with my Sony Xperia T. I have searched forums and google to find a solution and nothing. Also this website is probably best when it comes to sorting out android problems. My Sony Xperia T (I think) is now hard locked. O2 (UK) sent me an unlock code which did not work and now I get the following within the service info > sim lock:
[X] network 0
[] network subnet 0
[] Service Provider 0
[] Corporate 0
[] SIM 0
I think this status means its still locked and I cant use an unlock code anymore.
Also I can't unlock the bootloader because I get the following:
Rooting Status:
Bootloader unlock allowed = No
If anyone could help I'd appreciate it even if someone can point me in the right direction
Thanks again,
Regards David
Normally the phone gives you 10 attempts. Did you use all 10? Looks like you may be stuck.
Also, not surprised about the Bootloader unlock allowed = no. A lot of our phones (that came from a carrier) have this status and there is currently no way to make the bootloader unlockable.
It first came up as only 5 attempts and trusting the code I've used them all up.
Yeah I agree a lot of Sony Xperia's have the bootloader set to 'no' currently haven't a clue what to do

I wonder....if the 5 attempts were used by you on that code they provided (and it is certain that you were typing the code correctly), could the carrier be persuaded to replace or repair the unit for you?
Sent from my LT30p using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
That's the next step.
I'm hoping they replace the handset or at least fix it and I'm 100% i typed the right code in. I will keep this thread updated because I've seen a lot of Xperia's being hard locked and no solution!

[Q] Network Code Issue - Xperia Z

I got a Xperia Z that's locked to Orange UK (I think). And when I put another sim card it doesn't ask for a Network Code. The only way to get to the menu and getting it to ask for the Network Code is by dailing *#*#7465625#*#*. I have ordered a unlock code (actually three, 2 extra if the other fail. NCK, SPCK, and NSCK codes) and none of them works. First of all, when I get in the Network Code menu i got 5 tries on me. Every time I try to insert the codes it fails. And every time it fails, I still got 5 tries, it doesn't count down. What's the problem?
