Can't unlock my phone.

Hi all,
I tried to unlock my phone with the code provided by cellunlocker.net and no luck.
Method 1: when I insert my t mobile card, it doesn't ask for an unlock code( it should cuz this is a non art sim card right?)
Method 2: after punch in #7465625*638*(my unlock code)#. Nothing happens. (It should say something like unlock successful or not right?)
Heck even I can't check the lock status of my phone. I type in *#7465625# and didn't bring up anything.
Method 3: i type in #7465625*638*# and wait for it to ask the unlock code. It did nothing. Didnt ask for anything.
How can I enter my code if my phone doesn't ask for it. And it locked cuz i can't use t mobile sim.when I inserted t mobile sum it says no sim card.
Plz help. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.
My phone is att i747. 4.0.4. Baseband i747uclh9.

I used the following on my S2, when I did, I am pretty sure I saw an option for the S3 as well. Might be worth a shot.

Also, are you on a stock or custom ROM? I've read that that can be a variable as well.

Thanks for the response. My phone is running stock ICS.
THe thing that bugs me most is that it doesn't prompt the network unlock screen, hence I can't enter my code.
The link you sent me apparently works for the att s2 sadly.

I wouldn't even waste my time with cellunlocker.net I bought an unlock code from them tried ALL the methods they gave you in the email and they didn't work I eventually took it to a cell repair guy locally and he unlocked it for me for 15 bucks and it was a factory unlock like it would be sim free
Galaxy SIII via XDA premium

I think I will root and put a rom only phone and try the unlock code again. Otherwise I am now having a paperweight.

What I meant was....in the app itself, AFTER I downloaded it from the Play Store, there is a tab to select the S3....inside the app. Did you actually download it and look at it? Just checking.

Doing a NAndroid and I am going to try this. What sucks is I don't know anyone with a micro sim from Tmobile here at work
EDIT
Didn't work, would not/could not save EFS folder from step 1.

I've run into the same issue here only I got my unlock code straight from ATT. SGSunlocker won't save the efs (even though it's in the save location it doesn't register as being saved) so it won't go to step 2. The unlock code entry sequence you mentioned doesn't work either (that's what ATT gave as well).
Haven't tried a tmobile sim yet though, just got the code yesterday.

Unlocking phone with code on custom ROM (CM10)?

Is there a way to unlock the phone when running a custom ROM such as CM10? Is it permanent whether or not I flash other or upgraded ROMs in the future?
I am asking all of this knowing my unlock code. I got it from my carrier but when I use the secret GSIII codes along with my unlock code I get an error. I assume its because I am on CM10. Is there a way to do this without putting another SIM in my phone.
I am asking this because I want to verify my unlock before traveling and getting a foreign SIM inserted.
Thank you.

I've had this issue myself. You must unlock on stock rom or else it won't work.

Even if you're on the stock ROM, the code that you type in to get to the unlock prompt won't work. The only way to do it is to insert another carrier's SIM &turn on the phone. It will then prompt you for the unlock code. Type it in and voila.

Oops the previous poster added info I forgot to add! Stock rom + another carrier's SIM card and you're good to go! The other carrier's SIM doesn't even have to be active or if you don't have another SIM, you can easily pick up a prepaid SIM for about $5-$10.

So after unlock flashing ROMs will still have it unlocked right?
Also for my reference, for those in the US, will a T-mobile micro SIM prepaid card that I can buy can be used to verify my unlock on my AT&T Samsung GS3?
Thanks.

Yeah. Any SIM will verify it. And yes, when it's unlocked, it's unlocked. No matter what ROM you flash, it will be unlocked.

third time is a charm! After two tries it finally worked for me. this time I made sure that I called at a time that it would be hard for me to get a US rep(2:00 AM EST).
This time I got a mexican rep, she was so nice and fast. no questions asked, just the IMEI and 3 minutes later she gave me the code. Also, I am on CM10.0.0 stable and it worked by just putting a alien SIM card and entering the code.

Unlocking ROM'd Captivate?!
So, with your note below you are saying that even with another ROM you can unlock a phone, say the Captivate(i897), by just getting a friendly non-US based AT&T help desk person!?

Unlock your ATT phones?

No credit to me, . Was just browsing the international forums and came across this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014982
Apparently it works for ATT folks, tried it on my rogers phone it didnt work. If it worked for anyone here please let me know. Also please thank the original threader if it worked.
EDIT: I think this works on rogers too. I forgot to INPUT THE * before the # , i didnt see that. ahaha.! Wow it cant be this easy!
2nd edit: confirmed working on rogers, telus, atnt, mobilicity, telus, bell

I just did it, will try and put in a different sim when I have a chance.

1- Before the procedure I installed an old inactive T-Mobile SIM card and was asked for an unlock code after the lock screen.
2- I powered down the phone, reinstalled my active AT&T SIM card and did all the steps mentioned in the other thread. First time I din't see one of the screens (the one prior to hitting back) so I did it a second time and all was according to the instructions.
3- I rebooted with the AT&T SIM card and then I shut the phone down again.
4- Inserted the same old inactive T-Mobile SIM card used on first test and I wasn't required to enter any code like it did before!
I cannot test any further because I don't have access to any other active SIM Card!
Lets wait and see if it was really that easy to unlock :highfive:

Did the steps on my Bell phone and put in a telus sim and it worked.

badass, worked on mine! (didn't check to see if it was already unlocked, though...)

This is really GREAT NEWS ...
Have anyone tried to see if it still works after the FACTORY RESET.

Worked for me. On Rogers

Did this last night, but I don't have another SIM card to try. Will test it out when i get to work.
edit... I can confirm that it did work on my AT&T i317.

Confirmed working for telus sgh-i317m.
Thanks! You deserve some credit coz I barely go through the international version thread and I would have never found this method if you didn't post it here. Of course the other guy gets a Thanks and a beer from me but you get a click on your Thanks button for reps!

I did it a couple of days ago. Tried it with my O2 pay-as-you-go SIM from the UK. The GN2 got a signal and connected to the network, so it does work. In the past, I got the screen asking for the unlock code.

Can someone try this link and tell me if it says unlocked?

That link seems to only check iPhones. I think the more important piece is that the phone accepts and works with non-AT&T SIMs. That pretty much means it's unlocked.

Yep. Worked for my on my SGH-i317. I stuck in an inacitve Verizon SIM and no promoting for unlock.
So one thing I noticed is Settings -> About -> Status ... At the very bottom it says: Device Status: Modified. I never noticed this before ... Did that just appear? My phone is bone stock and has never been rooted or modified other than the unlock procedure.
Can someone else look at this before and after? I may go to the ATT store and unlock a display model to test...

Excuse me. I do this a couple times every year or so and I'm still confused as to what's going on? And why do I have to keep doing it? I just got a new AIO sim card and it requires some code to unlock. Does that mean my phone unrooted itself when I flashed the latest stock rom in here, which btw finally a fully functional ROM, go figure... And what's the difference between using odin and this code sequence from the dialer method I found somewhere where you punch in a long *#blablabla# code which puts you in the matrix where you do a little dance here and there then viola your sim is unlocked? Anyway, if these are all unrelated, what is this unlocking my sim business and when the heck does rooting actually occur within the maze of steps Odin takes you. And why all this after I flashed the stock rom? It's supposed to retain your rooted state still no?

So let me see if I understand your statement. You flashed another ROM... and then got a new SIM for your phone, but when you turned it on it will ask you for an unlock code? Rooting and unlocking are two different things, you can be rooted and not unlocked... so what you need to do is follow the unlocking method. Or... I don't seem to understand what you mean, can you be a little more specific?

Sorry. It's confusing. I'm stuck at the sim unlocking part, where you can put in a code from the dialer as shown here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024514
Unless you know your unique code to unlock your sim whatever that means. So I should still be rooted but now somehow still locked or something? Or is it just the sim that is locked? I'm fine with my old tmobile sim/account in place as in as I'm writing this, but as soon as I pop in my aio sim, back to that thread but id need to install uvle1 but b4 I do all that I just want to know what and why I am doing. Should I continue? What exactly will I be doing? Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

Sounds like right now your phone is carrier-locked; i.e. your phone will not work with a sim card for a network other than T-mobile's. Rooting will not unlock your phone for use with another carrier's sim card, however, the instructions in the thread you linked in your post will. If you really want to use that AIO sim card without paying for an unlock code from T-mobile or some other source, then the instructions in that thread are probably the best way to make it work. UVLE1 identifies particular modem/radio firmware and stock ROM that needs to be installed on the T989 in order to have access to the menu items required for the unlocking process. You can switch to the most recent radio or any ROM of your choice afterward without losing the ability of an unlocked phone.

My friend, you have a lot of studying to do....I'm sorry, but you seem awfully confused. No insults intended.
Please read all the stickies and then some.... before you attempt anything on your device. Very bad things can happen if you don't understand what you are doing and exactly how to do it.
Good luck!

Okay in up to speed now on all this. I've known this stuff at different points in my PDA phone assisted life but due to my own RAM deficiency i easily forget this stuff. Especially since I only learn it over a few days of the year.
Anyway, I forgot I never unlocked my phone because I never even needed to till now. My phone had always been rooted as I've been swapping ROMs for a while now. Well I'll go work on that solution now. Thanks for the replies

How to sim unlock the trac phone sgh-s970g galaxy s4...and possibly others

Ok so this is still a work in progress but it works, and lte works on my att and tmobile sims. Ill post as many screen shots and be detailed as I possibly can so bear with me.....
So i have a samsung galaxy s4 the sgh-s970g, and a customer needed it unlocked so I thought I would give it a try. Its been a fun phone to mess with. So I am on 4.2.2 and this is the only version I have tested on. I havent tested on 4.3 so let me know if it works for you.
So my baseband is MH3. I used saferoot to root the phone and then I used the twrp for the m919 version to get a custom recovery. after this i went into recovery and made a nandroid. I would advice you do the same if your going to try this, because I am in no way responsible for anything that happens to your phone it will trip your knox counter and your warranty is now void.
ok so I have a tmobile sim in the phone the whole time because it gives you a invalid sim message and when you get rid of that the phone is unlocked. Now I flashed the wicked v-8 4.2.2 custom m919 rom onto the phone. And after that i booted it up like normal and had no problems booting it. So when it finally boots up this is what I see....
know with the tmobile rom it is asking for a sim unlock code. This is where it gets a little tricky.. Youll need to download region lock.apk
you can get it from the play store or from the developer on xda, (great app by the way). So now is when i procedded to use spt box to unlock part of this but i believe you can do it without the spt. so just set your phone up and when your done your settings should look like this... youll still have straight talk radio but everything else including kernel is the tmobile m919.
Ok so now go ahead and open up the region unlock apk and instead of pressing unlock your going to lock it. when its done go ahead and reboot it and then its going to ask your for a password again but this time you know it.. Its going to be 00000000, or atleast it was for me but like I said i dont believe spt is needed to reset the efs i believe the region lock apk will do this and it shoould say unlock succesful like this...
the only kicker is anytime you reboot your phone your going to have to run region lock and lock your modem and then reboot and type in the 8 zeros to unlock if someone figures out a better way that would be awesome.. I also believe this method could be used to help unlock the s4 l720t and sm-n900p without the assisstance of sprint. Any feedback and help would be greatly appreciated and enjoy your unlocked phone....

Region away app works only up to 4.3, so I guess you need to downgrade the baseband to L720T's MK3 modem.
No harm in trying.

I can only find a 4.3 ROM for L720T not any version before it.

So, just to clarify, do we have to use the ROM or can we do this on stock? I have two of these LTE-T marked phones from Straight Talk that I'd like to use AT&T Straight Talk SIMs with.

tried this on a stock tmobile mdl firmware with the mh3 baseband with no go.. What am i doing wrong?

Yes i have, Tracfone will have to provide an update to fix the issue. Reason is that everytime you enter the code its accepted. But as soon as you reboot the phone it asks for the code again. So not sure how tracfone will handle this.

Well I returned my $250 Black Friday special as I just have no faith in getting an unlock code for these Galaxy S4s as I wanted to use it on AT&T and I had picked up the Tmobile version. I'll have to settled for a used item instead.

So will this phone work with a straight talk att Sim and a tmo Sim as long as its through ST?

After fallowing all the steps I get to the 8 0's hit enter and it just sits at the screen, and says unsuccessful. Sgh-s970g bb:mh3 av:4.2.2

Anyone know of a pay site to unlock this device. The one legit one was for over seas and I'm in US. I tried offering straight talk money and they said this phone needs to be active for 5 more months before they'll provide me the unlock code. I guess you need 12 months of active service to be eligible for the unlock program. The only thing is, is it will only work on a straight talk T-Mobile Sim until then. Tia.

It DOES work. I installed the wikid v8 rom on a SHG-S970G this morning, opened region lock, unlocked modem, relocked modem rebooted, and entered my unlock code and BAM, Successful unlock. Thanks a grand! By the way i bought the unlock code on a 3rd party site. Im now running ATT on the phone.

Straighttalk will only unlock phones purchased on or after Dec 2013, currently active on ST Service & have been active for 12 consecutive months, if you call the unlock department you will be transferred to their automated information center if your phone is not eligible for unlocking, this is just to inform you of the requirements to unlock your device.

ST unlock
I've had mine 6 months... Called them 5 times and they told me everytime they couldn't unlock my phone (sgh s970g). So.. I used CHIMURA to root for free. Installed the m919 twrp for recovery. Installed wikid v8 using twrp installed regionlockaway locked the modem rebooted, entered my unlock code and it gave me a successful unlock. As stated I'm running a Straighttalk AT&T sim on mine.

Extrapolate to S5?

Do you think a similar technique can be applied to a Galaxy S5 from Net10/TracFone? I tried to use a S902L with my (Canadian ) Rogers SIM card and unsurprisingly, it didn't accept it
