Hi guys I just got a samsung galaxy sm-g730A which is not yet released. At first when I put the sim card from another carrier he asked me a network code in the meantime I had already ordered the code and once I received the code, the phone don't ask me to enter the code unlock network. I even restored the phone but it still does not solve the problem.
Is there someone who has a solution to my problem please
Which carrier? My unrooted SM-G730A works fine on H2O Wireless, and never asked me for a code. I don't know if it is unlocked or not, since H2O WIreless is advertised as being compatible with AT&T phones.

I have an s3 mini on att network working just fine for the past month. I just got my unlock code and unlocked it to use on metropcs gsm netnetwork, but i get a "phone not allowed mm6" error... But it works fine on att sim? Any ideas? Can some one help?
If you do some research, you'll found some answers. Anyway, your problem seems related to your IMEI (because of unlocking), try to call your service provider/carrier to register your IMEI once more.
Hi all, I am in real need of some help here. I have a S3 Mini GT-I8190N. It is an unlocked 02 phone. I have a Virgin uk sim (rolling monthly contract). I simply do not understand why my S3 mini will not accept it. I've tried several custom roms. ( at this moment I'm using AOKP Golden KitKat) I've also tried various stock roms. Started by updating the original stock rom which came with the phone. No matter what I've tried my sim will not allow me to make/receive calls or texts. On one occasion it was allowing me on to the internet but still wouldnt let me make calls etc. The sim does work in other phones. I have tried a mates 3 uk sim and also an unused O2 payg in the S3 mini. Neither worked. I should also mention that the phone recognises the Virgin uk sims number and if I don't insert any sim it notifies me that sim is not present. I've been puzzling over this for a week and my head is battered. I should mention that whilst I am no genius, am I not an idiot. There must be something I'm overlooking. Unless of course the phone is just kapput. If anyone out there has had a similar problem with Virgin sim or can offer me any advice then please let me know. This is beginning to make my teeth itch!!! Cheers.
Hey guys,
I really messed up
So I received a Samsung Note 5 SM-N920W8 directly from Samsung. I need to use a Rogers SIM card in it. Not know if the device was locked or not, I thought I would try a non-Rogers SIM in it... I put in a Virgin mobile SIM and it worked. I thought to myself "GREAT, this is factory unlocked, WOO!" Until a few days later when I put in the Rogers SIM that I need to use in the device, and it asked for an unlock code.
Tried buy a code online for both Rogers and Virgin, no luck. Of course not, since the phone never went through carrier fulfilment
For work reasons, I need to use the Rogers SIM in the phone. Both of which are provided by work.
I never realized the phone would lock itself... I thought this was something only Apple did, where they ship the device unlocked, and it locks to the first carrier SIM inserted. I did not know Samsung did the same thing! Was I wrong in thinking this?
How can I get this unlocked? I'm trying to avoid rooting, as it would trip Knox.
There's no such a thing like sim lock option on any Samsung devices
I'm the biggest Samsung fan
Once you buying sim free device from Samsung it's always be sim free
I thinking you must be doing something wrong with settings
Nope, it's asking for SIM unlock code lol
What to do?
How did you receive a phone 'directly from Samsung'? That option doesn't exist in Canada - but in any event, your phone appears to be locked to Bell/Virgin. Phones don't lock themselves based on the SIM you put in. And why don't you ask whoever you acquired the phone from? If you acquired it legally, this shouldn't be an issue; if you didn't, you shouldn't be here asking for help.
I have a rooted s4 active on the AT&T network. I bought in used with the simcard unlocked and have been using it with my family mobile. I tried to update the phone(failed) with an update i found on here... well it didnt work and now that i did that my network is no longer unlocked...
How can i get it unlocked again without having to pay for it? Any ideas?
PSA for Sprint Moto z3 Play. After the last software update to Build OCW28.70-47, a factory reset caused my phone to no longer read my sim card and appears to somehow have relocked the phone to Sprint. Prior to this software update and reset, the phone read my T-Mobile sim card fine and connected to the network. Calling Sprint verified that my device was already sim unlocked. Calling T-Mobile and they can't do anything on their end. Lastly calling directly to Motorola, and they confirmed that they have already received other calls and that they are working on a software update to fix this glitch. For now, this leaves me with a phone I can't use until this software update fixes it. So just sharing here so others in this situation won't be in the same boat.

Quick question, did you unlock it through Sprint? How's the service and reception on it?
I'm on T-mobile and thinking of buying a Sprint variant to unlock and use with T-mo.
Thank you
I got this phone from a reseller already unlocked thru Sprint. For the short time it worked on T-Mo before it got relocked, service and reception was fine. But my advice is Don't Do It! Buy yourself the fully unlocked version, don't bother with a Sprint model to unlock as it is not worth the hassle; plus the fully unlocked version has 64gb versus 32gb on the Sprint version. Unless you are on Sprint, don't get the Sprint model!!! My story is similar to hundreds of other people with other phones having much difficulty in getting a Sprint model unlocked to work on other carriers (e.g. Essential phone has lots of similar problems).
UPDATE: Was able to go to a Sprint store, get a sample Sprint sim, insert and request the UICC unlock code and it got pushed through again so now my X3 is again unlocked for any carrier and now works with my T-Mo sim. So you need a Sprint sim to get that unlock code pushed thru, won't work just on wi-fi without that Sprint sim!
have an update for us to hear? this xt1929-3 still unlocked...
we bought this model (sprint) as a cheap gamble off ebay and it was the best thing. put in my redpocket gsm-t sim this morning and it says in the system update setting under uicc unlock "the device is unlocked for any sim card". that was even after unlocking the bootloader last night. thought we were going to need to do some modding to get away from sprint but didnt have to! so thrilled we will have this nice phone for the wife to enjoy.
