So I bought the codes to unlock my phone, but I only get the option to enter one code when I put in a different SIM card, it says "code successful" and absolutely nothing changes.
I flashed back T-Mobile stock 20s and can't seem to find the hidden menu to type in unlock codes. "Dr. Sim" told me to type in 2945#*Your model number# at the dialer screen and that gets me nowhere.
Is this something I can access from shortcut master?
Edit: So I'm not sure where to go with this. When I type in the code, it checks it and says "unlock successful" and then promptly does not use my new SIM card. This code was called the "Network lock" code." I have received a second code for "service provider lock" but I find nowhere to put this code. I can't access any sort of hidden menu on Lineage or Havoc, so I don't really know where to go from here. On any of the stock roms, I have simply nowhere I can put the code in, as far as I can see.
Halp?
I've read in other threads that for the t-mo phones you want to use the t-mo app (that comes with their stock os) for unlocking. Anytime I've talked to t-mo, be it phone help or at the store, they say 'use the un-lock app'.
So I've always assumed if you have a t-mo phone, you better unlock it **before** modifying it, else you'll have to go back to their software (if u can), or be stuck with t-mo from then on.
No offense to t-mo, that's what I use, and don't see myself leaving. But if u wanted to ^^^^
Cheers

Sorry. In cases like this I would love to be wrong.
Whenever I'm wrong, wonderful things happen. New stuff is discovered, like WTF Oreo bootloader unlock exploit.
About a year ago... "There's no way that's real and no way LG was that stupid." I never said that out loud, but I sure thought it a couple of times until @TxanMoe proved it. I wanted more information, but I was very skeptical. And being wrong was fantastic! Now WTF is what most all the development of V30 series is based on.
I do often wonder if LG (or someone inside LG) gave it to us on purpose. An exploit like that is so hard to believe. And I thankful for it.

You had bad IMEI phones?
He rooted the phone. That wasn't the problem. He just got no signal on another carrier, which meant it was still SIM card locked to T-Mobile. Carrier unlocking was the problem.

I used a third-party unlock service on eBay. Tmobilekiller or something, But that was after root. The listing was originally for the LG G6 H872.
To use the application I modified my model number from H932 to H872 from build.prop
A z3x box or miraclebox should do the trick but i have neither

Thank you for that. So it was an app, not a code. Makes sense: They created an app (maybe hacked version of T-Mobile's app) that performs the unlock without querying the TMO servers.
Thanks again. This could be very useful to others.

It is a Microsoft Windows based app. I think it generates and writes the unlock codes, then kills the T-Mobile unlock application.

is there a way to unlock this device from AT&T carier to any GSM without buying a code from the offered sites??? maybe some playing with the boot or something...
As of yet I don't think there has been anything on this method of unlocking. There is another thread here about unlocking the phone, but I can't link it right now. Pretty much all I can say is wait and see what happens. I think we might be stuck for the next couple months untilled at&t decides they want to let us unlock the phone.

Did his $10 code work or did you have to use the upgraded, more expensive service? Thanks a lot. I'm currently having all sorts of issues trying to unlock my phone from eBay.
The $10 code worked right off the bat. I paid for the item, and got the code in my email in 10 minutes. Plugged in a decrepit SIM from my trip to Singapore, and the phone came up with the SIM unlock prompt. The code was accepted with no issues.

What Excatly does unlocking the HTC Aria do?
What does buying this unlock code do for the HTC Aria, what benifits would a user gain from this? Would i be able to change my boot screen, cause i would love to do that
It'll allow you to use the phone on a non-AT&T network. I'm trying to get mine on T-Mobile, to be specific.
@chaley80 - What you're looking for is referred to as "rooting" the phone. Basically, you need to have superuser access to the phone, to allow you to modify things like the boot animations. There are instructions on here. Its very easy with Revoked. All this type of unlocking does, is what shirleeey said, just allow you to use it on foreign GSM cell networks.
after a few months you can call up at&t and ask them for the unlock code, they have to give it to you

That's true if you are an AT&T customer, but if you're like me, I've never had my Aria on the AT&T network so I had to Sim unlock it as soon as I got it, over a year ago Cheers.
Going along with unlocking it, would it be possible to use the Aria SIM free? E.G. with just the basic functions, no cell radio, but it should still be able to connect to your home wi-fi. Almost like an android ipod touch in a sense. I think that'd be pretty cool.

Just turn the phone on without a SIM card inside it.
If you're on a stock ROM it'll need to be activated with one first.
Then after it's activated you can leave the SIM out as long as you don't wipe data/factory reset
Let me rephrase that slightly, would there be any way to get rid of the "insert SIM" message?
@WinSuk: I'm running CM7. (Going to try your CM9 as soon as headphones work. Excellent job BTW )
I knew that I could take out my SIM card and my phone would still work, just wasn't sure to what extent. I figured there was something I would have to flash or other.

No you can't. You will have to pay a company like CreekDirt mentioned. You should have picked up the unlocked international version.
You may also want to go talk to ATT about it. Explain that you will be travelling to a region of the world where ATT has no service and that you intend to get a SIM card locally and would like to use your Galaxy Note. ATT can unlock the phone for you, and if you are polite about it sometimes they will do it prior to the 6 month window they generally have for new phones, especially if you are a long time customer.
Att will only unlock it after they lose exclusivity of it which would be when the T-Mobile version comes out.

I don't know if their policy changed since 2007 but back then, I e-mailed their customer support for unlock code for my phone because I told them I am currently out of country in Burma, a country they don't have roaming partner so I would like to use the local SIM in my phone and they e-mail me unlock code within 24 hours with the unlock code.
Yeah they used to do that. Lately they claim they can't provide codes if they are the exclusive carrier. They denied me an unlock code on the Note and Samsung Focus Flash saying they won't provide them until a certain date.

bormasina, It is usually all laid out for you on the unlockers website,you just fill out the form with your imei,carrier etc... then they email you the unlock code.Sometimes it is almost instantly emailed but if not,it do sent take long.That info is also usually on the unlockers website too.

It took about 10 minutes for my code to come
They were willing to do it with me, I was told that Samsung has asked them not to release unlock until August 19th. At that time they will happily provide the unlocks. I've been with AT&T for 10+ years, they have never hesitated to give me an unlock code except for an iPhone. I admit, its the first time they've delayed, but I have no reason to doubt their explanation. Honestly, the CSR (all 3, I tried several times) all seemed surprised that they didn't have access to do it.
So, in short, if you need it now, pay. Otherwise, be patient. Either we'll figure out how to unlock it, or AT&T can do it when they get the codes.
The unlock code will typically require stock Rom ...
My code kept failing.. I called supplier, they insisted I needed a stock Rom.
Reverted to stock and paid for code worked. Phone now remains unlocked regardless of Rom i install.

Freely admit others may be smarter than me.
But I rooted but did not unlock this phone.
Installed several ROMs none of which spontaneously unlocked the phone from the carrier unlock.
Attempts to install different carrier SIM didn't work until I reverted to stock ROM and executed a carrier unlock with code. Even installing an AT&T ROM, the phone still only worked with Telus SIM. I didn't care if the phone was officially 'unlocked' -- I just needed to be able to use an AT&T SIM in it. Installing an AT&T stock ROM didn't accomplish that, nor did any of the many choices available here in the DEV forum.
Advice I got right here in XDA was such that I had to unlock first... before installing other ROMs. Perhaps, I was misled?
On a Galaxy Infuse 4G, I was able to root the phone and find the unlock code inside a file located on the phone. Then unlock before new ROM install.
Wasn't able to do that successfully on the note.

Hey guys, pretty newbie question for ya'll, but how do I unlock it to work on AT&T? Is it as simple as following these steps?
3. once you receive the unlock code turn on your phone and from the dialer type 2945#*769#
4. the moment you press the last # you should be getting a hidden menu for unlocking the phone.
5. press on Network lock and keyin the NCK code provided
And I buy the code on like ebay for $2?
Just want to make sure I'm doing this correctly when I receive the phone.

Don't know how fast you need to unlock the phone, but my phone came unlocked out of the box from Tmobile. If you provide Tmo with the IMEI they will happy email you the code, they took 24 hours for me...only to discover the phone wasn't locked. best
Oh so I should just try the at&t sim first when the phone arrives and see if it works? If not, are those the steps above that will work once I have a code?

Tmobile p769 usa versions at least are not carrier unlocked.
Call T-Mobile. They WILL give you the code. Granted that's if the phone has been paid in full. (And you can save your $2)
Also, there is already legislation in place to remove the limitations of phone unlocking. It's moving along pretty quickly too. I'd say within the next year or two, it won't matter. However, if you are under contract, it's at the discretion of the provider.
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/make-unlocking-cell-phones-legal/1g9KhZG7
The White House agrees with the 114,000+ of you who believe that consumers should be able to unlock their cell phones without risking criminal or other penalties. In fact, we believe the same principle should also apply to tablets, which are increasingly similar to smart phones. And if you have paid for your mobile device, and aren't bound by a service agreement or other obligation, you should be able to use it on another network. It's common sense, crucial for protecting consumer choice, and important for ensuring we continue to have the vibrant, competitive wireless market that delivers innovative products and solid service to meet consumers' needs.

Sprint has never ever ever been able to unlock any of their Android / Apple (not sure about BB) phones for domestic use. To be fair, the OP didn't specify, and I was assuming that's what they were referring to, because that is what many people are looking for. Even so, you still don't have any clue what YOU are talking about since the phone absolutely does not use an unlock code to unlock. Sprint sends a signal to the phone that performs the international unlock. So do some research before you try to act like you know what you're talking about. I know, because I've actually done it. I also have unlocked many of them manually and have done dozens of hours of research on how the process works. Rookie? Pssh. Hardly.

Reading is fundamental. I specifically was referring to a DOMESTIC unlock. This is a fair assumption, since the OP goes by steve and seems to be excited by the fact that the company is located in Florida. And I don't care who you talked to, they don't give you a code to input. I don't have to login to an account to know this, because like I've said, I've actually sat through the process.

correct me if i am wrong, but PIN1/PUK1 unlock code is a password you enter (if enabled) on GSM phone if your SIM is PIN protected. you cannot make any calls if you SIM is locked with PIN and you do not have it. Every SIM has such lock capability (not enabled by default) and also has a PIN associated with it. Also I believe PUK code is needed to unlock SIM if too many invalid attempts have been made to unlock it with the wrong PIN.
Sprint will gladly give you that information, but it will not help you at all with neither domestic nor international calls.
Sprint firmware/modem is designed so it cannot be unlocked with code entered manually, but only OTA or via "hacks" allowing NVRAM changes.
We do this at our shop for some of the other companies around our location.
Of course we only do this for our most trusted friends and partners.
Remote access and having them on the line we can get this done within 10-15 minutes.
Watch the name calling and disrespect. One and only warning before infractions are handed out. You either Respond correctly or not at all.

Have a great day!
PIN1/PUK1 it's if you happen to lock your sim card on accident you would need the the two code to unlock the sim in order to be used again. Well that''s what i understood when i read it

Sprint has never ever ever been able to unlock any of their Android / Apple (not sure about BB) phones for domestic use. To be fair, the OP didn't specify, and I was assuming that's what they were referring to, because that is what many people are looking for. Even so, you still don't have any clue what YOU are talking about since the phone absolutely does not use an unlock code to unlock. Sprint sends a signal to the phone that performs the international unlock. So do some research before you try to act like you know what you're talking about. I know, because I've actually done it. I also have unlocked many of them manually and have done dozens of hours of research on how the process works. Rookie? Pssh. Hardly.

Use this for international unlock:

This for domestic:

To be on the MI3 modem, you need to be on NC5 or older firmware. Once you do the unlock, you can use MJ4 modem as well. If you don't understand what this means, then please do some more research on those threads.

Yes, and...? Why would you expect it to? It specifically states that it isn't even necessary to the process.
No you are wrong no code to Sim unlock this device and stop being a jack but.... No Need for it....
I have a Note 3 from Sprint running on AT&T, i got it SIM unlocked from a guy on eBay called idoneapps.
He unlocked it remotely with in 30 mins, very nice guy. No issues what so ever, didnt need to root, got HSPA+, calling, text and data. Just had to edit the APN settings.
G5 shocked me when I saw it in the LG website. So I bought 2 G5 phones through eBay. Carrier is Sprint, model is LS992.
But I'm not in USA. When I received the phone I inserted the SIM card of my country and found that it's not available. And I found nothing about sim unlock LS992 when I searched on the eBay.
I don't know what to do. I don't want to use them as tablet. Can someone help me? Please.
Check the IMEI numbers on the phones. If they start with '9900', then they cannot be SIM unlocked unfortunately. I suspect they are.
If yours are not unlockable, then I would try and sell them as soon as you can before they depreciate in value.

It starts with '35560', and I've checked it in swappa, IMEI is clean.
Previous unofficial LG sim unlocks on Sprint devices usually required root to edit build.prop or edit carrier partition.
Most likely requires root to attempt sim unlock.. unless you get Sprint to officially unlock the device OTA. You would have to call Sprint and get lucky... they do not usually unlock non-Sprint users.

I contacted Sprint and they asked me to provide the PIN of Sprint account which last attached to the phone. I have asked the seller to tell me this information. I don't know if he will tell me.

most likely no.. as I'm sure they would like to keep that secret.
But perhaps you can have the seller call into Sprint on your behalf... that way he can talk to Sprint and give them the PIN themselves.
Good luck :fingers-crossed:
