I purchased a used Incredible S and when I purchased an unlock code online I was able to network unlock the phone. 2 days later it failed to read my simcard anymore, did it lock back up? It doesn't give me the option to enter an unlock pin like the first time I unlocked it, so how can I check if the phone is still unlocked? or how can I input my unlock code again if it needs it again? HELP
Also, the sim card still works fine in my old phone so it isnt the sim.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but it did say general for the htc kaiser.
I've recently acquired a htc kaiser from a friend. I contacted at&t for the unlock code but they gave me the wrong one. By the time I recieved the correct code I could no longer attemt to unlock the phone because there had already been 5 attempts. I have seen on some of the posts here that after 5 attempts the phone is permantly locked. Is there any way to get past this issue? Can i still use the kaiser sim unlocker without bricking the phone?

If you used your PIN 5 times you will need to enter your PUK code (You should ask AT&T for it, If you didn't get it when you received your sim)
I appologize I wasn't specific enough. My carrier is T-mobile and the phone is from at&t. I trying to unlock the phone so it will recognize my sim. There has been five attempts to unlock it and now it will let me input a code but I can't use the ok button to process the code. The message on the screen says "please wait until timeout is over." I did try using the puk code but it wouldn't let me confirm the code.
I already have the 8 digit unlock code from at&t.

Have you tried the app found in the market? (you need the original Sim card from where you got the phone and any other company's sim card
Try searching for "SGS unlock" in market place. It should be called the "Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool".
Simply Run the app after installing (while using the original Sim card) and it should give you two codes: an unlock code and an unfreeze code.
Once you get them, I suggest writing it down and/or emailing it to yourself.
After that, turn off your phone and swap the sim card to the one you want to use. The phone "should" ask you for the unlock code when you turn it back on and after it has booted. Simply enter the unlock code and you phone should then tell you it's unlocked (if everything works ok otherwise it will say it was unsuccessful).
Note: I am on Bell in Vancouver running the stock 2.1 firmware and it's worked fine for me. There have been people who were not so lucky and it did not work for them. There are even those who have gotten their phone locked due to trying to many time when after it fails to unlock, but that is what the unfreeze code is for. If you're with Orange mobility, I've read that some of their phones were already unlocked. You could always just try a different sim card and see if it accepts it if you haven't done so already.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for replying, new to this site not sure what I'm doing !
When i paid to have the phone unlocked i had already canceled my o2 monthly contract so the phone had no Sim in it when being unlocked, i don't have the o2 Sim anymore, i brought the phone from o2 so they might help me out I'll have to ask them. I've just put a o2 pay as you go Sim in the phone & it didn't ask for the Sim Network Unlock Pin but with the 3 contract Sim it does ask. I have installed the SGS Unlock tool but i haven't run the app. I'm having the phone unlocked again tomorrow so he hopefully can sort it out. Thanks again.
I tried to "SGS unlock tool" and nothing does not give me the codes. When I go to the root gene codes told me: "Sorry, no codes found. File not found: Do you have S Business"
I have no idea what to do.
Is there some other way to decode or knows someone why this is happening?
I also tried with Generate Unlock Windows, error is: can not find nv_data.bin
My captivate has randomly started asking for a SIM network unlock PIN when I turn it on. I brought it overseas in January and it has been working fine until now. I have no idea what to do
Thanks
Get an unlock app from market and try to unlock it again. The one I used I think was called SGS unlock or something like that.
So i have a htc one from bell and i have it rooted and s-off and everything. I know that doesn't mean its unlocked but it might help if i need to unlock it. So i tried using a wind and koodo sim card and the phone won't connect to any network, nothing pops up prompting me to enter a sim unlock code, the sim card image on the top of the one, has a little lock symbol on it. So i don't if that means its locked or something went wrong. I was looking at videos on how to unlock the phone and they all say that you insert a sim thats not your providers and a screen should pop up saying enter sim unlock code, but i never get that anyways, so how do i unlock it if i can't get that screen. Thanks
Hello! I have an unlocked C6906. Recently, after putting in an AT&T SIM from another phone, the C6906 has started asking for a SIM network unlock PIN. However, the phone is factory unlocked, having been bought from Omega Cell fully unlocked. It has worked on AT&T in the past. In order to test if it's the AT&T SIM, I was able to go into an AT&T store, and verify that it is the phone and not the carrier. Additionally, I was able to take the SIM cards I was testing and successfully insert them (and use them) on other devices.
In order to further test, I bought and inserted a READY SIM pay-as-you-go SIM card. Same result occurs; SIM Online Unlock PIN. No unlock code that I can find seems to unlock it.
Help me, XDA community. I've searched the web high and low, I've flashed all stock firmware, I've done everything short of buying a new phone. I'm at wit's end.
Help!
