Hi everyone. Could someone please give me the dial prompt or another method to enter an unlock code? I bought an unlock code but can't find a way to enter it. I've also tried mayrer's method (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...sim-unlock-t3229801/post63465284#post63465284) to sim unlock without codes but it didn't work, unfortunately.
When I put an unrecognized sim into the phone, it tells me it's an "invalid sim" but it doesn't go to another screen to enter any codes as I've seen in some videos.
Any help would be appreciated!
Edit: I have the the ls991 zv5 5.1. Flashed to stock and rooted. Trying to get it to work on Orange network in Spain.

Hi Guys,
New here so please be nice
I have read a load of the tutorials and threads here and have now attempted to CID unlock and SIM unlock my G4, I used the hard_SPL-G4 to CID unlock, which has worked well and I have managed to upgrade to WM6 THe problem that I have now is when I try to SIM unlock the phone, I am using Lokiwiz03 which runs and get the SIm unlock code, but I enter this into the phone and it seems to unlock ok as I get to the normal home page screen, now as soon as the phone tries to register onto the network it goes back to the Network is locked please enter unlock screen, if before the phone has tried to register I put it into flight mode, then everything is ok (except I cant make calls )
Does anyone have any ideas why this may be? SHould I have sim unlocked before CID unlocking?
Thanks in advance.

I'm on Eclair (2.1), rooted, got the unlock code for my phone. But since I didn't have another network sim card at the time, I tried the "re-lock" method to unlock. Seemed to work at the time. (Didn't know that this method just adds another "accepted" sim card to the internal list.)
Just got another carrier's sim card, and when I put it in and booted, it did not ask for the unlock code. Voice calls work, but the "Network Lock" is still "ON". I've tried "re-locking" to several other MCC/MNC codes, but I never get the unlock prompt.
Does anyone know how I can force my phone to ask for the unlock code?
Or, how do I turn the "Network Lock" off?

Use http://www.communityhosting.net/sgsunlock/
You don't need to use a different sim.. The Network Lock becomes OFF for any carrier.. After unlocking, check by *#7465625#.
Hope this helps.
Worked, thanks!
Worked like a charm.
One question though: If I load a new ROM on, will I need to do this again?
Or can I just re-copy the nv_data.bin file (if necessary)?

Call you cell provider and tell them you entered the sim unlock key wrong too many times and tell them you need your PUK (personal unlock key I believe) and they will provide it free of charge without complaint.
contact your network provider.

If you read the OP, you'll see the network service provider has been contacted many times.
my phone fixed via JTAG but now my phone asks me for SIM IMSI UNLOCK PIN so I enter any random digits, receive msg "phone unlocked" but the phone restarts and asking again for code... I bought my phone without any sim lock.
can you help me?

in some case you can contact your carrier and give them your imei # and the will give you the sim unlovk code. You can also buy an unlock code from ebay or other internet sites. Did you asked the persons who Jtag repaired your device if they can provide you this code?

SIM UNLOCK PIN seems to be a security code from the sim card, try with another SIM Card from same carrier. Apparently it has nothing to do with unlock code.

So I had SIM unlocked at&t htc one (I obtained unlock code from carrier). Once I unlocked it, i was using european simcard and then revone s-off came out. so I s-offed it successfully and after reboot i got exactly same problem - enter sim imsi unlock code or something like that. Any code would result in unlock successful and reboot phone, but it would ask code again. I ended up sending phone to HTC for repairs. I guess they completely reflashed firware or updated something else, since phone that i received back had different IMEI then what i send them (same physical device though - scratches on the side). I had to obtain new unlock code for new IMEI and new code unlocked it for european sim.
I have the H/K edition. I bought an unlock code for it. My question is, how do you make the "enter the sim unlock code" appear?
Putting a different sim and turning on the phone doesn't work.
hope this helps
