Hi guys, I'm trying to network unlock my M8 to use in Germany. I've inserted the card and typed in the network unlock code that I bought. Unfortunately, it is hanging on "Requesting network unlock'
I have tried factory resetting the phone.
What can I do?
Thank you
Are you stock, which carrier?
AT&T Skydragon rom
Try stock rom if you can see if that helps. Do a backup of your current rom, flash stock then restore backup
I'd suggest go back to complete stock also.
thanks, going back to complete stock worked. However my SIM card is locked every time I turn on the phone.
What do you mean your SIM card is locked? Do you mean you have to enter a pin to unlock the screen?
Network unlock requested?
Hi man,
I have the same problem.... Canadian Htc One m8 google play edition locked to Bell... I have rooted and unlocked bootloader... unable to s-off...
tried to sim unlock my device and after inserting another sim and unlock code it just hangs on the screen saying " network unlock requested...
Tried everything and nothing helps....
maybe some developers here can figure it our...

Guys I'm over in Europe and attempting to use a vodaphone SIM, I'm running NRG's ROM and radio 4.49.25.17.
T-Mobile had kindly provided the SIM unlock code for my TP2 prior to my trip but when I put in the Vodaphone SIM it doesn't prompt me for an unlock code?
Do I need to manually enter it somewhere?
I think its supposed to prompt you with a screen asking for the code, make sure the Vodafone sim is properly inserted and if that doesn't work you can try looking up the phones engineering mode.
Is the device booting into Windows Mobile & usable with the other SIM card installed? Where did you buy it? Sounds like it may be unlocked already. Anytime I put the wrong SIM in a locked device, on boot up I would get a message for the unlock code & device was unusable, would not progress past this screen. You had to either enter the unlock code or reset & remove the SIM card.
First, check if your device is unlocked by going to Start>Settings>System>Device Info and on one of the tabs, it should say unlocked somewhere. Or, you can check it by downloading ATCommander onto your device and entering [email protected]?40 into ATCommander. It should return 0 if you're unlocked. If it returns 1, you're SIM locked.
Now, if you are still locked, try flashing the Stock Tmobile USA ROM, and insert the Vodafone SIM then. Hopefully, a dialog should come up with an area to enter you unlock code. On the Kaiser, you supposedly had to be running the stock AT&T ROM in order to get the dialog unlock the device with an unlock code. Hopefully that will work. If not, TMobile tech support could probably answer this. Hope that helps
I have SIM unlocked my HTC Desire long time ago
where the original lock was for Telus.
Now my volume button does not work and I want to send it back to Telus/HTC
for fix and just to be 100% with the procedure I want to re-lock the SIM
back to telus
I have the unlock code which I used the first time and I guess I can lock the SIM
using the same code
Does anyone know the procedure for re-locking the SIM to a specific network
and do I need a telus sim card for that?
I think you have to unroot it with a ruu

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Rooting and sim unlocking are different procedures. I doubt that flashing stock will relock your phone.
Anyways unlocking your phone with an unlock code doesn't tinker with your software so it shouldn't affect warranty. But I guess that is up to the provider to decide.
Right now I have CM rom
I will flash the original Telus Desire ROM and I want to re-lock it
As paul mentioned by flashing the original rom it does not mean the phone
will be sim lock again to telus
There are some codes with *# but I can not remember the procedure
i think there was a simlock in hboot or fastboot i think
HI,
I rooted an 747M on 4.3, install a 4.3 rom and sim unlock the phone with cellunlocker.net. It worked, other sim worked.
Then, I want to roll back to the stock 4.3 from nandroid backup. =bootloop.
reflash recovery and screw it, get my custom rom back from the second nandroid backup.
It worked. BUT I DIDNT test the phone with an other SIM...
I sent the phone ti my bro in other country and he said that the phone is locked.
I thought that SIM unlock is for ever , no?
thank you
I'm surprised because I didn't think the phone could re-lock.
Is the owner being prompted for a network unlock code or a sim unlock code?
I have the MSL code but when I put a sim card in for ATT and reset the device it says invalid sim card. I never get an option to enter the code in to unlock the device for another carrier. I am stock firmware not rooted. I actually tried loading ATT stock firmware on to the tablet and that didn't work at all. I can't take it to sprint because the person I bought it from is not in good standing with them.
Any help would be awesome!
I know this is old, but did you ever get your tablet sim unlocked?
I have one I have been trying to get unlocked, using an idoneapps unlocking app to debrand and unlock my tablet. I’ve run the app several times and while it got rid of the sprint branding and boot image, and says sim unlock successful, I keep getting invalid SIM card error.
ive reset network settings, my tablet is stock 4.4.2 firmware and rooted.
Hey I have my sim unlocked I did it using the hidden menu method I have used it on simple and more recently metro. I got a new Nexus so this is now my backup. The other day I put my girls tmo sim in and it worked fine but today I put my mother's metro sim in and it wouldn't get a signal. But it didn't say insert sim. So did I inadvertently relock my phone to tmo by putting a tmo sim in it?
Also I am on cm 12.1 and I don't have a PC to Odin back to stock so is there a way to unlock the sim without having to go back to stock?
No re lock is possible.
There's no way you can relock your phone , it doesn't work that way, once is unlocked stays forever.
