Hi,
Try these, maybe you can solve this issue:
Apply the Defreeze + Network Code if you still get the message “Unlock Unsuccessful”. It takes 5 steps:
1. Type your Defreeze code (or MCK): xxxxxxx and press Unlock button. You will get "unsuccessful” message again but don't worry.
2. Now type the Network code (or NCK): xxxxxxxxx and press Unlock button. If your phone shows “Unlock Successful" message, congratulations, your phone is unlocked. If not, proceed to step 3.
3. Make a hard-reset or factory reset of your phone. Please be informed that a hard-reset will restore your phone to the factory settings, so all apps, data and other settings added by you will be removed. We advise you to make a backup or save all data you want to keep.
In order to make a hard-reset you can either dial *27673855# on your phone or, if this method is not working, you can use these instructions in order to make the hard-reset.
4. After your phone restarts, type the Defreeze code (or MCK) xxxxxxxx, in the area below "SIM network unlock PIN" message or "Enter Network Lock Control Key" message. Press the unlock button. It will say "unsuccessful" again, don't worry!
5. Type the Network code (or NCK): xxxxxxxx and press Unlock button. Your phone should now give you the message "Unlock Successful".

Hey there,
I've done a quick search of the forum but I cannot find the answer I'm looking for.
I'm trying to unlock an O2 branded XPERIA.
First, when I put a different SIM from another network, it still boots up but receives 'No Service' so I assume it's locked.
I've got a code from HTCCode but I have no idea how to enter it,
Could you guys help me?
Cheers,
Hyped
Cant you ask the person you got it off?
they'll just give me the same instructions that are on the website.
I trust XDA Developers more for better information
Wouldn't it be possible to unlock the phone by flashing the firmware?
just flash a rom.. will automaticaly unlock ur device
NATAO
i'm pretty sure that flashing a rom doesn't unlock your device...
simply put foreign SIM card in the phone. Upon boot it will ask you to enter the code. Enter the one you got from HTCunlock.
btw - flashing the phone has nothing to do with unlocking.
If you have a code means You can enter it using the instructions below and unlock it step by step...You can get the free unlocking instructions and paid unlock code from the site www.mobile-unlocker.com and unlock your phone....
Warning : Do not enter any wrong unlock codes on your Sony Ericsson Xperia mobile phones. If you enter over a certain amount of wrong unlock codes on your Sony Ericsson Xperia mobile phone, your phone may get hard locked and sometimes become unusable.
1 - Switch ON your Sony Ericsson Xperia without any SIM Card,
2 - Press the left arrow key/button once,
3 - Press the button * twice,
4 - Press the left arrow key/button once,
5 - The message "Personalize with MNC2" will appear, (or you will have displayed an unlock menu, select the lock you want to unlock)
6 - Enter the Unlock Code.
Hi everyone,
I need to go another country for a while...so i want to unlock my Bell Galaxy S.
If i come back, i want to relock it to keep the warranty.
I found this>>>
HOW TO LOCK SAMSUNG GALAXY S - FOR WARRANTY PURPOSES ONLY (TESTED)
After you get the NCK code using the method above, enter: *7465625*638*#
There will be a pop-up box.
Complete the first field (MCC/MNC) with the network you want your phone locked to (eg. 226 10 where 226 = romania; 10 = orange etc.) and the second field (Control Key) with the NCK extracted from the .bak file.
Press OK and your phone should relock.

i have a captivate im trying to unlock, what would be the keypad code to bring up the sim unlock screen?
sorry if this is in the wrong place but.... i ran a generate unlock code for my captivate and it gave me a mnc/mcc code is this what i would use to sim unlock my phone?
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)?

Once it is unlocked, u'll never need to unlock again! even after different ROMs
Hi!
Unfortunately I had to send back my phone to my operator because of a hardware fault. For warranty reasons I must restore the SIM lock (network operator lock).
I haven't find any info on xda so I want to share the process of relocking again.
First, get the unlock code with BML5 method if you didn't save it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335548
Then, dial this:
*7465625*638*# (Configure Network Lock MCC/MNC)
After dialing a new window appears where you can lock your phone again.
For MCC/MNC code, check this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code#National_operators
For example I have to supply this code: 21630 (no '/' characters, no space)
Because
216 is Hungary MCC
30 is T-Mobile MNC
For Control Code (After MCC/MNC):
Write the Unlock Code that you have with BML5 method.
Thats all.
P.S. Don't forget to install your original stock rom if you send your phone back to your operator.
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.
