I have an HTC S621 and have obtained the SIM Unlock code. The only problem is that I can't get my hands on a different carrier's SIM to get a chance to enter the code.
Is there any other way to enter the unlock code?
The phone is also app locked, but I can't get the 'SDA_ApplicationUnlock' to work. I keep getting a message saying 'Phone is not unlockable'. I read somewhere else that I will have to do a SIM unlock before I can get the CID unlock to work.
So, any help entering that code without a different SIM would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I am S-off and Rooted. How can I tell if my SIM is unlocked? I will be traveling to Amsterdam this week and want to verify that my phone is ready. Do I still have to call Verizon for an unlock code?
Thanks!

Moved to proper forum.
I am not sure if the s-off and root alone are enough to unlock the phone. I had to call verizon to unlock my phone. It was a very simple call to verizon global department. The regular call assistants are useless so make sure you get transfered to the global department.
you must have either used an xtc clip or called Verizon to be sim unlocked.

To check if the phone is SIM locked, do the following:
Secuity==>SIM Lock==> if there is a cell to enter unlock code then the phone is SIM locked, otherwise the message will be "The SIM lock Disabled" Good luck.
I am not sure about this but i do not think that is true for some phones because if you root and unlock it with some of the procedures here for some phones it still will do that but your sim is unlocked in the actual hardware and not a software unlock someone correct me if im wrong.

Ive recently unlocked gsm , but can't change to GSM mode ( always show CDMA mode)
change to GSM mode , Incredible 2 show
"there is no Sim Card on your device . Your device will switch to CDMA mode now"
try another Sim card , change to GSM mode ,still show ""there is no Sim Card on your device . Your device will switch to CDMA mode now""
My incredible 2 , new in a box 100%
Unlocked by code
Solution ??? help
In order to switch to GSM you have to have an activated SIM card in place from a local provider (AT&T or T-Mobile); otherwise, the phone will not stay in the GSM mode and will default into CDMA.
Hy All,
I'm from Romania but I bought a Fire phone 64 gb, locked on T-mobile Germany, not from Amazon but from a Telekom shop.
I take it because of good price and also to try and test if will work on Telekom Romania network...it desn't work... but i was also prepared to buy the unlocking network code, and also bought that trough a friend....also updated to OS 3.6.6
Meanwhile, when i was in stand by to receive the unlocking code I inserted a romanian carrier sim card...input pin....the phone request the unlocking code...inserted a couple of times the numbers wrong...after dismiss and played trough menus..camera....after i closed the phone in waiting the unlocking code.
The code was send it to me after paying to T-mobile Germany ....and very excited open the phone to insert the code.....but now the phone is requesting the PUK code, instead of network unlocking code....I input the PUK code from sim card...phone says "unable the unlock the PUK"....it is normal not to be able to unlock the PUK because is still locked on T-mobile....and I figured out when insert the network unlocking code wrong for couple of times, the phone will block permanentrly the sim card.
I made it a factory reset, but after insert other carrier sim card the phone still asking for the PUK code and is not able to unlock the sim by PUK.
I have the phone...the unlocking code....good sim card....but i cannot proceed to insert the unlocking code because i played and inserted wrong...i think i am the only stupid in world who made this
Someone can help me with a solution? some combination of buttons...some hide menu to enter and insert the unlocking code?
Maybe if I will buy a T-mobile Germany sim card with activated roaming....insert sim....enter the PUK code of that sim, phone will be able to unlock that PUK protection over the network, and after insert another carrier sim will be able to input the unlocking code?
Regards and hope someone can help.

same problem here
Please help us.
First remove the romanian sim card from the fire phone and insert it any other UNLOCKED phone than try the change the sim pin code with your sim puk numbers. After that remove the sim pin request from the simcard than put it on your fire phone and try to unlock process again.

Hy All,
Long silence..because of work.
So... i send it back to Germany to test the method who was adviced from Telekom call center...I have talked with the support team from Telekom Germany and it seems to solve the problem it is must to insert an plan (abonament) sim card ( not working with a pre pay sim card) from the network who is locked ...it doesn't matter of who have the plan sim...one of your friend or in a shop...and it must be insert the PUK code of that sim and it remove this locking and registering to theyr system, and after will be able to insert any sim card and insert the unlocking code...this is what they told me on the phone...
They have tried and inserted several times an abonament sim card....same problem...but i think they and also people from Telekom shops are out of this space with technics/phones.... all tell me not working...now wait to send in service...maybe they reinstall the software.
Someone tried the method described above by the user "ease_the_pain" or an hard reset (vol. up + vol. down + on/off button in the same time)?
Maybe a hard reset will make the phone to start from beginning with unlocking request... if someone will make the phone work after hard reset please leave message asap...i want to avoid to send the phone in service and tell to my friends to send back to me..
Thx and Regards
Solved
Problem solved...Phone replaced with a new one.... new unlock code now exploring phone and settings....and apps
Bought a D851 and when I go to SIM unlock process and I tap Service Provider Lock I get a message "Your phone is not personalized." Will a custom ROM carrier unlock a phone? I can enter a SIM network unlock PIN however.
No. You would still have to get it unlocked by T-Mobile.
OK. Thank you.
