no problem Out of interest , which method did you use?

I used both of them, and i got same unlock pin code in either case. I think that second one (one with pushing .sh file) is a little bit easier to read. Greetings, and thank you once again.

I used both methods also and got same code. now if there was a way to unlock the device once and not have to unlock everytime a sim is changed that would be awesome.

Solar... one you input a simunlock code it should permanently enable any sim to be used?
That tested on mine, i have 4 different sims with other providers and they all worked and after seeing this they still do

I tried to follow the instructions however I never got the unlock code or I am just being dumb when I use method 2 my results are identical to your 2nd screenshot,
there is no 3rd line of text?
Using the first option what I see is very similar to your first screenshot with Vodafone instead of O2. But again no code that I can see.
I have tried inserting simcards from t-mobile and O2 however I never get asked to enter a code. Not that I have a code to enter, I wish I could work out where I am going wrong.

IF you dont get asked for a code to put in when putting in other sim cards , should be unlocked... where did you get it from?

The phone is a friends who got it from someone it was on vodafone rru and had the branding on startup and shut down, before I rooted it and put on CWM and Nameless Rom, but when I try my t-mobile sim card it doesn't get a signal for when, unfortunately I do not know if this was an issue as it wasn't supplied to me with a sim card.
I will contact my friend and see if he can supply me his sim card so I can test it. Hopefully as you say it is unlocked. Not sure when i will get the sim card to be able to test it though.

hmmm when you say doesnt get signal.... i wonder if its because its a vodafone branded desire C... it will have everything for Voda hard wired in the device... and wont have any t-mo APNs etc. TMo arent exactly friendly when it comes to APN info unlike other providors like O2 & Voda
I wonder if that is the issue is that no data APNs are selected....

If you want to get your unlock code, you need to flash a Custom Rom, NAmeless For Example.
Once thats been done, you can install busybox and follow the instructions and you get your code.

i managed to succesfully unlock my Desire C
its a stock phone, bought it from Asda UK - on T-Mobile network
although it doesent have any t-mobile branding or carrier apps or boot up logo like most phones have
after unlocking my bootloader and using r1-superuser Root, it went very smooth
but one thing i did notice that seems odd, my IMEI is different in the command shell
to what is displayed in the phone
xxxxxxxxx584298 - displayed from phone
xxxxxxxxx5842901 - displayed on the command shell

Assuming you're trying to GSM unlock, you need to be rooted and do that command in Android Terminal Emulator.
However, you can just use this and it will do it automatically.

Same issue
I have an unlocked Sprint HTC One M7, but it kept dropping the network. After some research, I was led to believe that if I changed the setting to WCDMA Preferred, I wouldn't have to keep selecting T-Mobile as my network. I dialed *#*#4636#*#* and changed the necessary setting, but it did not work. THEN I became curious and accidentally selected some kind of lock. I erased my entire OS and had to flash a Stock Rom (Rooted and Deodexed however) using OTG/USB. BUT THE PHONE IS STILL LOCKED :crying:. Someone who knows what they are doing please help me with this $500 Paperweight. I'm learning the hard way apparently. BTW, I don't care about the SIM unlocking issue anymore. I just need to be able to use the phone.

Kk. I've tried to do the fix even though it probably wouldn't affect anything, and it didn't work. It might've been because I was on 4.4.2, and the guide was probably made when Jelly Bean was out, so Sprint might've patched it. Anyways, let me know if you get it working and post your steps on how you did it if you followed it differently.

[Q] LG G FLEX from sprint to ue carriers HELP PLEASE!!

Hy i i bought lg g flex on ebay from us sprint carrier. The phone is in perfect shape,but the only problem is that i cant put sim card,not reading it. Can some 1 help me please. iTS NOT HARDWARE problem thats for sure. Sry for bad english. :good::good::good:

Sprint uses CDMA for its voice and 3G, like Verizon. The SIM card in the G-Flex is only for LTE, and I don't believe it is user-serviceable. You should have gotten a T-Mobile or ATT Flex, as both of those carriers use GSM for everything. Also, this forum is for development only. There is a separate forum for questions and answers.

need help with permissions
Use this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655133) method to get Flex unlocked but looks like I've messed something with permissions and now it says 'com.android.phone has stopped', sometimes 'SMS/MMS has stopped'. Please give me the correct permissions for content of 'carrier' folder and apn-conf.xml bcz looks like rw-r--r-- doesn't work good.

I am getting the same error as soon as I hang up. Did you get the correct permissions that work?
Thanks

I was getting the exact same errors... What all the unlockin tuts dont say is that after you do the unlock you must make a factory reset. That will solve the "android.com.phone" has force closed.
For the other error of sim card not detected:
Wipe the phone (factory reset)
Move the files to the phone (just property folder)
Copy all the files using a root explorer to /carrier/property
Power the phone off
Insert sim card
Power on
Change in settings mobile networks to gsm/umts only
And voila
I suggest you make another hard reset again
To avoid the android.phone error
Good luck!

[Q] stuck on locked bootloader question

I have a nexus 6 with locked bootloader with 5.1 unable the check OEM unlock bla bla...
So... I was 3 days ago at a mobile repair service and i gave my nexus 6 for a repair...
They cant repair my phone.. They tried with 3 different engineers but non of them can repair it...
motorola will not replace your phone i asked them because i not updated with OTA...flash over usb errors
Not covered by the warranty...
So does anyone succeeded with this solution? On anyway ?? Anyhow?? For money or for free? I dont care .... Just please reply something ...Any working method? Please answer i really need my device... Thanks and sorry for my english. i think in this thread this is the main issue

http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/relock-bootloader-time-updating-to-5-1-t3053497
But, I don't think your situation applies... You're probably SOL.

There's no fix. You can try fastboot format cache and fastboot format userdata. If that doesn't work, there's no fix.

I wouldn't yet. Someone may eventually find a fix. But yes, you're going to need a new phone in the meantime.

Just a random thought; so what is covered by warranty? Say an internal connection was to get detached and the phone just won't power up, I think that would probably be something they may honor and replace the phone. I would not go back to the same place you tried to have it fixed, I would contact Motorola direct.
Again just a thought without thinking through all the scenarios nor with any thought of the morality of it.

The crap part would be if someone finds a fix after the phone is damaged. But, before you do anything, make the call.
I see many many threads regarding how to get free tethering, so I don't feel this is too out of place. Again, everyone has to work out for themselves whats right for them.

Since 5.1, you need "enable OEM unlock" set in settings to unlock the bootloader. If it is not set, you cannot unlock the bootloader. It only stays set until you boot up.
So some people update then immediately lock the bootloader. Then their phone won't boot so they cannot set "enable OEM unlock" so they're screwed.

You have to enable oem-unlock after every boot, it will not stick after a reboot.

No. The "enable OEM unlock" setting allows you to boot to the bootloader, connect to a pc and use the "fastboot oem unlock" command to unlock the bootloader.

I think we're confusing the issue. It doesn't need to stay ticked. All it stops you doing is unlocking the bootloader. Once the bootloader is unlocked, its unlocked.
The only reason you'll need to tick it is if you relocked the bootloader and then wanted to unlock it again. But this is dangerous because if your ROM breaks and you're locked, you cannot then unlock.

With OTA should be fine.. If something goes wrong during ota thats covered by warranty, but i was impatient to wait for it, so i did for my self over USB thats not covered by warranty like when u **** up something with root permissions.. This method is not the original updating method. but its a bit confusing because this was an official google suggested method (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images) Terms of use, i accepted hurray!

"Send it in for repair mate, off course its fixable in a servicecenter but not by us consumers."
I did it and they cant repair it.. No way to access to that software part

Factory Reset, start configuring language, dont connect any WIFI or DATA and Next button after this the screen show Configuring Phone, press volume up + volume down - home button and button back, and Woola bypass the stupid activation
This is the method

Thanks guys, I managed to skip this step. I founded tutorial on youtube, but phone must be connected to WiFI, otherwise there is no skip option only back to connect.
I have another problem, now it says that SIM card is invalid. I cannot connect to mobile network. It seems it is SIM locked, but I used current SIM with this phone and had no problems. Do you know guys is there some possible way to unlock again this phone without root? Again, I cannot contact Sprint because I'm not their user.

Do you know guys is there some possible way to unlock again this phone without root? Again, I cannot contact Sprint because I'm not their user.

you might be able to try some trusted 3rd party unlckers no way to downgrade either or brick will result to try inter nat rom so thats not an option either and problem with some 3rd party unlock companys is sprint still has apns greyed out so not able to mod them some have reported ok but basicly now its a monetary risk and in my opinion the device isnt really worth investing any cash into except for the camera no root methods are available beyond zv6 firmware no downgrade possible

you might look for sevice menu ## codes look for a setting that says itson and disable it may need msl code n wich is still obtainable throught sprint its hard work but i have done it many times
mayers unlock method sometimes requires manual diable of itson to get rid of invalid sim card notification
no root needed

I bringed my device in local service shop to unlock, but they returned phone more damaged. Device can't turn on and when I connect charger there is no charging indicator, nothing. When I connect phone to computer it is recognized as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008". Is there any solution to unbrick this phone? Any answer would help. Thanks!

I would take it back to said shop and raise hell they damaged it they need to replace it. What firmware were u on. It dont really matter. The firehose.bin for qfil to reflash fone doesnt work for g4. Unless someone has made a new one but i havent seen one yet. You might try lgs waranty. Claim to have bootlooped. Or something like that

I dont know. If i tear up someones phone im working on. Its kinda my obligation to fix or replace it. I do unlock what phones i can. Repair. Root and modify. I wo far have a perfect track record with customer devices. But. If it ever came about i brick one. Like said. I kinda feel obligated. Or is that not a thing but a courtousy?

Totally agree with you. But people are different.
