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.
I have a Samsung SGH-I957 which is lock to at&t , i have rooted it, installed busybox, tried to unlock it by editing the nv_data.bin file but as bad as it got there was no nv_data.bin file located in the efs just redata.bin and some others.
I am very confuse on the way forward.
more details:
Android 3.2

Hi there,
I have a bricked ALE-L04, rooted with KingRoot without unlocking bootloader.
It worked well, until I flashed custom recovery. After that, when the phone rebooted it keeps complaining about modified recovery image with bootloader in locked state.
Since then (15 days ago) I'm asking at [email protected] for the unlocking code, with no answers (more than 10 mails already)
I have several issues when trying to get the code by entering at:
http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail
It needs a 16 characters Serial Number, and the phone and the box tells a 12 chars S/N
Removing the back cover I've found a 16 chars code printed inside, and thought it would be THE serial number.
When using this 16 code, it says that serial number and IMEI are mismatched.
It's so frustrating. Trying with another ALE-L04 (one that is working), I have the same problems...
If someone has any ideas, or any chance to get direct contact with huawei (they don't answer the mails), please help me
You doesn't need Huawei to email an unlock code for you.
You can get it from here, straight away: http : // emui . huawei . com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail
1. Download this Product ID generator and extract it somewhere: https : // drive . google . com/open?id=0B303_1pmtlHIdDVFb0llMGU3bjQ
2. Open it up, select the model HUAWEI C8812 (it should be already selected), type in your IMEI, and voila, you got your Product ID(8-digit number)
3. Go to this link: http : // emui . huawei . com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail and fill it out with your details.
4. You'll get your unlocking code straight away.
I managed to get my phone unlocked via this method.
Sorry for the links, i'm not allowed to post them, only this way.
Thank you for your answer!
I just tried again using the model you told, and same results:
SN and IMEI are mismatched
Do you know where can I get the 16 digits serial number? It's not on the box, nor in the phone neither.
You can find both of these numbers in the phone itself.
Go to Settings > About phone > Status and scroll down, the IMEI and the Serial number should be on the bottom.
If you have multiple SIM slots, then use the first IMEI number.
If it still says mismatched, then try other phone types.
Also, the Product ID generator tells me a different Product ID than my phone, but I was able to get the right unlock code via that number...
I also read somewhere, that some Huawei devices can be unlocked via the fastboot oem unlock UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU command too. It's worth a try.
Thank you!
The problem is that the serial number is 12 digits only, it's not 16 and the unlock page doesn't like it.
By the way, I have a brick, and can't look into system settings because the phone doesn't boot up.
I've tried the UUUUU.. thing but this is the result:
Code:
$ fastboot oem unlock UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
...
FAILED (remote: Invalid key,unlock fail)
finished. total time: 0.134s
Still waiting more help! thank you very much for your time bro!
I've looked up few hits on the google, and seems you're not the only one with this problem.
In the Product ID generator app, you can find several phone models. Try each one of them and copy that Product ID onto the Unlock Code Request page with the same device selected there as in the program.
It'll take some time to get each one checked but I have no better solution.
Just for the record.. I have access to another p8 lite ALE-L04 and both have printed in the inside (removing the back cover) this:
1873UIF421X0xxxx
where xxxx are different.
And this doesn't match any code from the phone or in the box neither.
What I can't do:
The phone doesn't start
I can't look in the phone any data (serial, product ID, etc), because it doesn't start
I can't flash anything, because the bootloader is locked and don't allow me

Unfortunately, the link for the unlock code site requires a phone # check and it's only for a few countries (NOT the US). The email signup page just doesn't work (presumably because I'm trying to sign up from a US web address). You can enter an email, password, veri code, but dead link, just doesn't go anywhere, so this is not usable, unfortunately. Not now anyway.

Hey Hey hey. Remove that, quickly. NEVER show your IMEI or SN on the internet. Do it via pm
Hi guys
Just a little bit of a background, my old contract has finished and I wanted to give my phone to my mum in Australia so I flashed their Firmware, here is what I did:
The phone was locked to my network provider and according to a Sony Forum they said that you flash the simlock.ta for phones that are locked to a network.
1. Installed Kingroot and rooted phone.
2. Downloaded the Sony Experia Z1 (C6903) firmware for Australia with XperiFirm_4.8.1
3. Converted the Firmware with Sony Mobile Flasher (FlashTool) to FTF
4. Flashed firmware with unticking the simlock option
5. It asked for using a F?? cript which i said NO to
6. When writing simlock it wanted confirmation to do so, I said yes.
7. Phone restarted and then after setup completed it asked for pin code, immediately after that it asked for puk code, after that it displayed a message saying Sim Unlock Failed
8 . The phone now diplays Invalid card - No Service
9. Followed above with the UK firmware to see if it would fix the problem but still no luck.
10. Downgraded to an old G version of firmware but that got stuck in a boot loop.
10. Ran Sony PC Companion software to repair the phone, which it did, now on the latest firmware again but still No Service.
Please help...

If it doesnt work with the provider it was locked on then it is a hardware defect. I had the same exact problem and I tried every sim card of all major providers here in my country and still it gave me the same message: invalid sim, not service. I contacted Sony support and they had my mainboard replaced within two weeks. That assured me that it is a hardware related problem
I bought a t mobile galaxy s6 and I noticed that some apps like S health and Netflix were not working because my phone was rooted with supersu I unrooted it and then my network was lock. The error was something like this
This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software and the network is locked contact your operator.
