[REF] Enter in P500 unlock menu - Optimus One, P500, V General

Hi,
I already have a network unlock code from my operator, but neither they or myself can work out where to enter it!
I have googled and sent LG an email but I haven't heard anything.
Does anyone know where I should enter the unlock code?
Thanks

Try this:
How to insert the Unlock CODE into your LG P500 Optimus One
Insert a not accepted SIM Card and turn ON your LG P500 Optimus One.
Your LG P500 Optimus One will display "phone restricted".
Select Cancel
Your LG P500 Optimus One will display "phone restriction code".
Enter the Unlock CODE you received from UnlockallCellular.com
Select OK
Your LG P500 Optimus One is now unlocked!
Cheers

Hi,
thanks I forgot to mention I tried that. When I have another SIM in it it doesn't say restricted, only says Handset Network Locked. It doesn't give me the option to enter anything

---

I think there is a *# combination.
I allready saw it here on the forum.
But can't find it anywhere...

---

Try this code:
2945#*500#
Cheers

---

Thank you ever so much!
Score one for XDA!
Really appreciated

If it worked please change the topic name to "[REF] Enter in P500 unlock menu", for further searches.
Cheers

I guess that this codes are for unblock phone in other operators net, aren't? If so, then it haven't sence for me. Our operators have to sell already unlocket mobiles.

2945#*500# doesn't work on my phone. i am using CM7 Rom by Mik
I came across a site which is selling LG unlock code for €8.00 but i don't know how to enter the code.
And also when i insert a sim from different network, it doesn't ask for unlock code or doesn't even show that my phone is restricted. Only says no network. Is that because i am no using LG branded rom?
I took the phone to a unlocking shop and they said they could unlock the phone by connecting it to a computer. By changing some firmware details. But i am not too sure about this. I am using Mik's rom and i don't want them to change anything around. I have custom recovery installed and i little afraid about this. And i am also afraid that after they change the firmware will i be able to flash new ROM? and if i flash new ROM will that lock my phone again?
So if you guys have any idea, please share

ı using 2945#*500# ' Your Phone is not personalized. ' ????

i can confirm, dialing 2945#*509# does not work on Mik's CM7 rom. It's worthwhile to note that the last three digits should change to whatever the model number of phone is (for me, I have an LG P509-T). It's my assumption that you must be on the stock firmware, or at least a firmware that is based on the stock ROM in order for this to work. I remember several months ago I tried this on MegatronV1 and I was able to get the unlock screen to come up, but I had no idea how to get an unlock code at the time.
I suppose that for those of us who are running Gingerbread, the only solutions for this are to roll back to a froyo rom based on the original firmware, roll back to the original firmware itself (hope you made a nandroid backup before you got all flash happy!) or if you're intent on sticking with gingerbread, wait a couple months until the Gingerbread firmware has been officially pushed to the Optimus and the devs can start cooking roms based on the new firmware.
Just a thought; if you unlock your phone on a custom firmware when you flash another rom, do you have to unlock it again? I'd be interested to find out.

I am in the same boat, so no solution is it?

Thanks, tried all 5. None worked here. KOODO in canada in case anyone comes across the thread in a search

I too have a Koodo phone. Th # sequence stated does in fact bring me to the unlock screen. Unfortunately it says I only get 10 chances. I believe there are different unlock codes as per your IMEI. What gets me is, the people in the malls who sit in their kiosks and unlock phones at $40 to $50 bucks a piece are just typing the IMEI into a program and popping out an unlock code. I would really like to get my hands on that software, and then I would start doing the unlocking on the side for far less than what they charge.
Thanks!

Other than the OEM ROM, is there any other ROM that allows access to the unlock menu?
