So I've rooted the phone and retrieved the bml5.img fine, found the 8 digit code and I cant unlock the phone. I have gone back to stock firmware and tried again and I get "Connection problem or invalid MMI code."
I don't have a third party SIM installed though. (phone locked to Telstra, telstra sim.)
Ideas?
This is happening with 5x phones of the same type.

Okay hi first of all. Okay the problem is that i have this Galaxy mini that was locked to ClaroPR. I used the BML5 method to find the unlock code and it worked perfectly. Problem is that when i inserted a different sim card the phone was not asking for the code. It said Locked but it didnt ask me for the unlock code. So i decided to flash it with a non branded firmware so that i was able to insert the unlock code but for my surprise the phone CSC settings changed. Now i have an unlocked Mini but with no signal. Sometimes the signal shows up but just for a few seconds and gone again. So if someone knows how to solve this i will appreciate your help. Thanks!
Hello
I bought a droid 3 from ebay in Europe. The phone came from US (Verizon).
It was already rooted and with safestrap 3.05 installed.
System version is 5.6.890.XT862.Verizon.en.US
Kernel is 2.635.7-g790a33c [email protected]#1
Build 5.5.1_84_D3G-55
Baseband – now says “unknown” but was showing something before I flashed a new radio (explained below)
I want to use this phone with gsm networks in Europe. So, I flashed cyanogenmod in boot slot 1 and tried to connect to my gsm network, but it didn’t work, The error was something like “Cant assign to selected network”. Then I followed this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989359 the part for non-us “foreign” gsm networks. Stil the same problem.
Then I thought it might be sim locked. Bought an unlock code from unlock4moto, booted into the original slot, entered sim card pin followed by the sim network unlock code I received from unlock4moto and I got the message “Your phone is subsidy locked. Contact your provider”
I re-entered the code. Same error.
Tried to connect to my gsm network that the phone was detecting but I got the same error “Cant assign to selected network”.
Then I decided to flash the new radio from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989359 (the “using us gsm networks” part) and changed build.prop and rebooted to original software.
Now it doesn’t even ask me for sim pin code and when I try to search for networks its says “Connection unavailable” and on taskbar “Selected network unavailable” and the baseband version disappered, now says "Unknown"
Am I screwed?
What’s my problem now?
Thank you
Hi,
I have HTC one on Three UK network. I took Sim network unlock code from 3 different paid servers, All have given same code but code does not work. It says Sim Password incorrect. Spoken to supplier and he said it is some bug in new android system. Can anyone explain me how to fix this. I appreciate that.
I already 3 tried another source and checked imei etc.

Are you on a custom CID ? On a custom ROM? If yes, change them back to the original and it'll work.

This is purely anecdotal but the phone I had before this was the s2 LTE model on AT&T, when they gave me the code it kept saying it was unsuccessful until I ran out of attempts. However when I actually put in a t-mobile sim card it worked fine and it was fully unlocked. Maybe try that?

You do know that to unlock the phone you need a SIM card from a different company inside the phone so that it asks for Network Unlock Code... SIM Lock is not the same...

Obviously phone is asking for sim network unlock code when we put non accepted sim card. So phone is not unlocked. We do quite a lot unlocking and few phones get this error, we have to refund customer but I am seeking solution for it. It is only in Android phones (HTC and Samsung).. Samsung's we usually unlock using unlocking boxes but HTC One is not supported other than code. (Setool support older HBOOT).
I was about to purchase an unlock code for this phone and noticed that the unlock attempts counter is stuck at 9 after inputting the wrong unlock code and resets to 10 after I reboot the phone, so by advice of the unlock service I reflashed the phone to stock firmware and the behavior is the same. Has this phone been hardlocked to prevent further carrier unlocking attempts, any ideas?
Hi everyone,
I've been using an SM-920T 64GB Galaxy S6 bought from T-Mobile last summer. I did a permanent unlock using the T-Mobile application and since July I've been using the phone on the AT&T network. I just rebooted my phone today like I always do and upon restarting I got an "Invalid SIM Card" and it brings up a SIM network unlock PIN window that I can dismiss or enter a code into. What is going on?
I'm running XtreStoLite Deo 2.4 if that makes any difference.
Also, does anyone have the T-Mobile Device Unlock apk that comes stock with the phone? This is how I unlocked the phone in the first place but I don't have that app anymore since I run a custom rom, and the play store won't let me download it because I don't have a t-mobile SIM card in the phone.
Thanks!
Well for the benefit of whoever has the same issue. I flashed back the stock ROM via ODIN, ran the T-Mobile Device Unlock app, it said Unlock Unsuccessful in big, but right below it said the phone has been unlocked permanently. I put in my AT&T SIM and it was working again. Then I flashed back my TWRP backup and the phone remained unlocked. The non-Tmo ROMs get the unlock popup when a foreign SIM card is inserted, so getting an unlock code should work, but I didn't want to wait 3 days to receive one.

Can you tell me what ROM you used? I have the g920T also, and bought it USED unlocked from ebay, but it had the FRP (factory reset protection) lock on it. I had my US cellular SIM card in it, even though I was stuck at the "enter your previous used google account on this device" and the SIM seemed to work (saw the LTE bars above).
But the only way for me to bypass the FRP was to flash to the ROM to stock (which I used the G920T tmobile ROM) and I got to the home screen but now it says "Invalid SIM card. Network locked SIM card inserted" just how you were saying.
When I try using the Tmobile unlock app, it says "Server not responding. Please try again later." .
Please help!
