Sim Unlock? - Huawei Ascend Mate 2

Hey quick question about the mate 2. I bought one yesterday from a prepaid carrier named consumer wireless at my store for 250 thinking it would be unlocked out of the box. That wasn't the case though..so i am looking for a way to unlock it. Anyone have an insight on how i may be able to? I know on my htc one, i was able to do it after i unlocked the bootloader and ran a fastboot command. Any help would be appreciated!

I saw your other thread. I assume you got into it. So how did you unlock it? Was it just a boot loader unlock ?

HTC Legend - Sim Free

Hello,
first i want to apologize for bad English.
So, i have htc legend that can see just Celcom sim.
And i want to put in it an Orange - IL Sim Card.
When i tried to do that, it asked for code that i don't have.
I want to do Sim Free to my HTC LEGEND, without going to the service center.
Bottom line:
So any one have any software or really good site that could unlock my HTC Legend?
Thank you
I've a similar question.
Had unlocked the booloader at HTC Dev of the to Legend from Virgin carrier, CA. This device cames SIM locked. My brother never noticed.
I know it's a little odd asking help on this, but I don't think he should pay, even US$ 9,99 for a computer generated code, to use as he wants a device he bought, payed and is using it (and paying carrier bills) for more than a year.
Sincerally, I want help to prevents puting one cent on this, and get rid of this unlock network sim code.
Regards,
BTW - Samsung guys did the trick, there's an app at Google Play for unlocking it, it's free, legal and, in my thoughts, honest!
I just tried Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock (it took like three hours) and no dice.
Could you be more specific?
Your post seems a little odd; you start by saying you have this question too, and then give half an answer, implying you have the whole answer. What gives?
Ha, I can't believe it!
I just googled 'sim unlock' and spied a link to the network it's locked to (which I only knew because the old SIM was included), and it led to this page: http://www.three.com.au/cs/ContentServer?c=Page&pagename=3CA/Page/3CAStatic&cid=1236150837988
It was free! Sweet!
Wow, nice. I paid $15 CAD for mine, but with no regrets. One of the greatest investments I've ever made on this phone and it was completely worth it.

I got the phone off my cousin; I guess she got her new phone on a plan under the same account.
Pretty sweet of the telco to have a page for SIM unlocking that's potentially free, though
I am not sure but i think in custom roms there are no sim lock. Correct me if I am wrong.

You're wrong. Custom ROMs don't SIM unlock the device.

[Q] SIM Unlock code required

Hi,
I have Sony Xperia S from O2. I need to SIM Unlock Code because I'm using another Network. Can any one help me to solve this issue?
Thanks.
if youre with o2 pay monthly you can fill in the sim unlock form on their site
https://www.o2.co.uk/apps/help/help?qid=1&q1=2&route=unlocking&case=Handset Unlocking Form
I tried this before but this phone was a gift. I don't have SIM number to fill the form.
However, I'm using another network which not allowing me to make use of the phone.
It seems that your phone is a branded version that is attached to a carrier. You can try one of those websites that will SIM unlock your phone, but I'm not sure if the XPERIA S can be, yet...

It seems like this. because I tried many ways to unlock the phone. I notesed while trying to unlock the bootloader from services configuration "Bootloader unlock allowed: NO" and i couldn't connect it in fastboot mode. it didn't locate the driver even with manual installation.
do you have any suggestion? and what are those sites if you know cheep website?
cellunlock does the job for you
bro just head over to cellunlock site and place ur order they gave me the unlock code within 24 hours it works just fine to unlock the bootloader after that.

What are u talking about before i unlocked my bootloader status was a saying NO but after i unlocked the phone it said YES because the phone was successfully unbranded meaning an successful unlock was done making the bootloader unlockable

check out this site
http://www.cellunlocker.net/unlock-sony-ericsson-xperia-s.php
it is currently $39,99 on this web-site. I wonder if one can find anything cheaper - I have seen one on the eBay for £32,99 which I find too expansive too. do you guys think unlock codes will get any cheaper with time? thanks
:S :S
I tried them.
Returned the money because they can not do it.
I travel abroad for a long time and should I use another service provider.
I called my provider to do it for $ 500 for decoupling.
If I know I do not take this crap phone.
There is no solution to it?

I unlocked my Mrs's phone via cellunlocker webpage mentioned earlier. Had to wait a week, but can use any sim now. Though, the bootloader status hasn't changed (still says "no").
Then I bought an unlocked phone from eBay, thinking the bootloader will be unlockable, but it says "no" in the menu as well. :-(
I am wondering if you get it cheaper on the web - certainly those who made their way into unlocking world of SXS recently will make tonnes of money. Would appreciate if you could share if you have seen it cheaper than $40 please.

SIM Unlock - Need Help

I really need help with an AT&T HTC One
The phone is brand new, with the factory AT&T ROM (1.26.502.12).
I bought a SIM unlock code from 3 sites (cellunlocker.net, 2 ebay vendors) but they all gave me the same code which does not work.
Is there any other way to unlock via software? I already did S-OFF with Revone.
I am willing to pay via Paypal anyone who could help me, as I need to use the phone outside the US.
Are you still in need of help, I recently struggled with unlocking my device

[Q] Sim Unlock Help

First time here, but I have had no success in finding a sim unlock code for my HTC One. It is currently locked to AT&T and I have tried at least 6 or 7 different unlocking sites but to no avail. Every unlocking site has sent me a refund saying that they could not find a code or unsupported IMEI. My question is why is this happening? I bought the phone on ebay since there are no carriers on Guam that currently sell the HTC One. There is a local shop that can network unlock my phone but it will cost me $110. I would rather not spend that much money. Does anyone have any ideas as why this is happening or maybe help me get my phone unlocked? I would gladly pay someone as long as it will get my phone unlocked. (sorry about the long post)
It's probably stolen or a fake.

Have you tried using this site yet? unlockcode247 I just used it a few days ago to unlock my AT&T HTC One. It cost me $3.20 and it took like 4 hours for me to receive the unlock code. I just put in the IMEI number on the phone and that was it. I hope this helps you.

What happens to SIM lock if t-mo phone is flashed unlocked software?

As the title says, I have t-mo branded phone, will the SIM lock disappear after flashing firmware from unlocked phone? I don't think it will, but maybe? Also, how would you unlock such a phone then? Anybody knows?

Sim lock has nothing to do with the firmware
if you flash the unlocked firmware on the t mobile device, the actually t mobile unlock app will not be on the phone. however the phone will still be sim locked to t mobile. If you plan on unlocking it soon, stay on the t mobile firmware so you have the access to the unlock app in the t mobile folder. after you unlock it through t mobile, restart the phone and the app will go away. I'm not sure if you can unlock the phone under the unlocked firmware without that mobile unlock app.

Im not sure about the Note 8 but I remember a year or so ago folks were saying that some phones can only be unlocked with the unlock app and that codes wouldnt work for them.

Try contacting cellunlocker, see if he can do it via a unlock code as per what the other person mentioned here.

You'll just have to find a way to get it to prompt if that is even possible. I tried a different sim and it give you a messaging saying you have to use the unlock app.
Have you made any progress?
I'm in the same boat.

Part of me feels like that would be too easy of a solution. Not to mention I finally got mine unlocked via the app but through all the trials and tribulations with TMobile they did the traditional unlock code request. The email came back looking like others I have seen in the past except where it said "Unlock Code" it said to use the Unlock App on the device..
We are are still left with needing a code from TMobile.
So im in a similar situation. I've got a Tmobile Note 8 which i'm using on ATT. I got a tmobile sim from a friend and had tmobile temporarily unlock it for 30 days. I hope by flashing this firmware (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/guide-sm-n950u-u1-t3685884) for ATT, i can get it permanently unlocked.
OR
If the Device Unlock app is frozen or unisntalled (via root), i wonder if it can still relock the phone.?
Did anyone figure out a solution to this problem (bought T mobile Note 8 on eBay and cannot unlock it!). Worst case, can I open a new T Mobile account for $70 per month and then cancel it after 40 days and THEN unlock the phone?
