Search the forum, there are methods with a bump'd image. You can also pay $5 for an unlock code which is what I did. Good luck

Bump is for a bootloader unlock, not for a sim unlock. But you can find it here (ONLY USE WITH KITKAT).

Just contact the carrier via their support site, open a chat session and request an unlock code. There's no charge, and you'll receive it during the session. You could also try the Mobile Device Unlock app if on T-Mobile...
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-14011
Again, if on T-mobile these are the unlock requirements

I dont even get prompted to enter a code, cant see where i would enter it
Will try that thanks

Same problem
Hey guys, I'm having the same problem
I own a D855 phone bought at SFR (in France), I'm about to change of carrier but SFR made a mistake when they created my unlock code, so now they are contacting LG to have a new code, but it'll be too long... (up to 4 weeks)
I'm sure there might be a way to unlock a network without to have to pay, right ? Don't know, maybe a file to edit or replace or something like that ?
My carrier will be automatically changed in about 2 days, and I wont be able to use my carrier services network anymore in 2 days if my phone/network isn't unlocked.... So no more texts, no more calls, ...
I'm using Fulmics ROM & last Xceed kernel
Thanks

UPDATE : I bought an unlock code on https://www.freeunlocks.com but they gave me the same code that my carrier gave me. This code doesn't work...
I really need help, any way to unlock my phone and use it with my new carrier please....

Put a sim card from from another provider to your phone. Than it will ask you to put the unlock code.

It seems that people say to upgrade the rom and it should work.
Some older threads discussed this. The new rom is available at XDA-Wiki
Good luck!
I'm sitting here with my locked cavalier waiting for the unlock code to come to me!

I'll definitely consider ROM's upgrading. Thank you for the advice.
However, I'd like to post some feed-back about people behind http://www.x02ht-unlock.com/
( Dear forum admins, PLEASE do not remove this message. It's quite emotional, but I'm posting it to achieve one of two possible results. And every one of them is positive enough:
- people behind x02ht-unlock.com would hear me finally, and help to solve my problem (and, probably, I'm not the only one who has the same problem, but couldn't get any feedback via the support form);
=OR=
- someone wouldn't spend $50.00 for no result. )
Their support was more than terrible: they replied to all my questions promptly, but only until I finally sent them money for an unlock code ($50.00).
The current state: my phone is still not locked, and no one at support @ x02ht-unlock.com is willing to even talk to me on this problem.
I've done everything according to the instructions, but still get "SIM locked" message. I've sent them my problem's description (and even attached a screenshot), and no one replied to me. I sent problem description via email and using their "Send a question" form. Both both were left without _any_ reply.
It now seems to me, that they're cheating and the program never worked for anybody (someone on the internet can say it works, but who can be sure that he's not the person who receives money for that program?)
Even if the program is working, in fact, but they simply don't know how to solve my problem -- they could tell me about that and offer to return my money (because the program didn't its function). So, it's cheating anyway.
The worst thing is that PayPal won't cancel this transaction under any condition. Here's what they say:
We have completed our investigation of this case. No further action is
required by you at this time. We have denied this claim. As stated in
our User Agreement, PayPal?s Buyer Complaint Policy only applies to
the shipment of goods, not to disputes about the attributes or quality

3. Your cell phone is now unlocked
If you see a message Sim lock.. You can still make emergency calls your phone has a blocked counter due to several previous incorrectly entered unlock codes. Plug your phone in charger and wait about few minutes to few days until it allow you enter unlock ...

nedd help to unlock T-MOBILE DASH FOR FREE

Hi I Need Your Help To Unlock My Phone T-mobile Dash
Had you done some basic research you would have found that there is no "free" solution out there.
You can use iemi-check for $38, or there is a member here (whose name is slipping my mind -- I appologize) who does it for cheaper.
If you have tmobile for more than 90 days, just call tech support and ask them for the unlock code (for free).
yea...the only free way is just call them. they emailed my code 2 days later. just make sure you acount is all paid up and you have maintained service (with no missed payments) for over 90 days as stated above

What type of lock are you referring to? The guys above are referring to a SIM unlock, but there are two other types as well...
CID unlock- Is required to operate software/operating systems of other carriers on your device; this can be costly through imei-check, but you can get around this by using CID bypass software such as JumpSPL or Haret.exe (it'll bypass the CID lock and allow you to install whatever ROM you desire)
Application unlock- Is required to operate unsigned 3rd party application software on your device; software such as SDA app unlock or SurrealNetworksApplicationUnlock works great

In my experience -- people who don't specify what type of unlock are generally looking for SIM unlocking. But you are correct -- never assume anything
u know its sad they keep saying there is no free way to unlock the imei ok maybe im asking the wrong question how do the pay sites do it . maybe its not free but i am sure its cheaper and say say its not free well what are they doing who are they paying i guess the question is how are they getting the code

[Q] T-Mobile Account problem?

I've been asking for the unlock code for my GS3 and everytime I do I get this mail back :
T-Mobile Sim Unlock Request
Sim Unlock Reference: 5420978
IMEI: 353024050442949
Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide the unlock code at this time. After review of the account we have determined that the device is not in use with the corresponding mobile number. T-Mobile policies and procedures state that the device must be in use on the mobile number requesting the unlock code. If this is a new device please allow 3-4 business days prior to submitting a new request to allow your usage to update in our system.
Thank you,

I've called T-mobile 2 times. Both the times they said "Oh we need to update the account"
They did. ANd I still got that E-mail. Any idea why this is happening? Is it my phone or the T-mobile System?

Yes. And when I had the Galaxy S2 (SGH-T989). I was a noob on XDA and to ROMS. I would mess it up every like 2 months and I would have the same problem. THey'd say I own a Mytouch 4G...I use to get so mad...There system is slow.
Yeah it's alright, it shows SII for me when I've never owned one from them

[Q] Unlocking Problem URGENT

Hello,
I bought a Samsung Captivate Glide i927 (Rogers), and it was locked. In my country, I went to a local phone shop and they unlocked the phone. But after 1 month of normal using, the phone was locked again. So I went again and unlock the phone for the second time. Unfortunatly, after 1 month of using, the phone was locked again. Why? I don't know.
It was after I was restarting the phone. The phone asked me to enter the PIN code as usual. I entered the PIN code that I usually enter which is 0000. The phone writes "code accepted" then after 1 second the phone shows a black screen in which I read that the PIN code is incorrect and I have to contact the provider. I can use the phone applications, but I can't call or send a text message. I always receive "Not registered on the network". When I write *#746562#, the phone give me a list of information in which I read "Network Lock [ON]".
How to unlock my phone Again? Where I have to get the unlocking code? Is it free? is it for 1 month or for ever? What is the problem in my phone? Is there a trusted website where I can buy the unlocking code forever?
I unlocked an SGH-I927R in a way that's kept the IMEI intact and that's not out of reach for anyone with a bit of technical ability. It does require ADB, a hex editor and either root or CWM.

This came way too late ... I used Fast-GSM ... it takes longer than usual, I don't get an actual unlock code but did it with my ACE as well.
Its a bit more expensive, but hook his app up via USB w/ debugging, run the unlock tool whamo. Unlimited ROM installed, rebooting etc. Cyangenmod and it stayed unlocked.
Now, also on my i927r (Rogers) same deal stays unlocked.
I do wish I had seen this thread earlier, great that there's free ways to unlock it and pull out the code. Big thanks for doing that write up!

Question [CLOSED] Pixel 6 Sim Unlock workaround

Does anyone know of another way to unlock my SIM other than the before method because I believe it has been patched cuz I woke up this morning hadn't reset my phone nothing and it would tell me my sim was not supported
You might want to be more specific. Which variant of Pixel 6 do you have (which carrier)? Which previous method are you talking about?
To clarify, are you looking for SIM (carrier) unlock, or bootloader unlock, or both?
Also, do any of these threads in this search result for the word unlock in thread-titles only in this section help?
Yeah you're right. I didn't think of that lol Stoner moment I have the T-Mobile Google Pixel 6 pro and I was doing the factory reset and then enter ADB command and shell to temporary unlock SIM and now it's not working at all. So I was just trying to see if anyone knew of another workaround other than you know the usual call T-Mobile and give them the sob story

You have to pay for the phone.. if you can somehow switch to verizon you might be able to get them to turn off sim lock, but the phone has to be paid off by you or verizon/att

Hi I tried this method and yes it works I have a p6p from att and did this phone worked great on verizon I used it like that for a couple of days . But I ended up paying for a code using a site now that I got the confirmation I did a factory reset and I'm now able to toggle the oem unlock setting under develor options. Also it worked with my verizon sim with no problem after the reset.
Now just need to find some free time and try the adb bootloader unlock command.

It told me it needed 1 to 3 days to get the code. I did it on a Friday at around 1:30 got my confirmation email on yesterday Monday at around 7pm. Sundays and Saturdays don't count as business days. Now it turns out that they unlock it on their own or something like that. I didn't received a code on the email it was just stated that it was unlock. I was worried at first because I was expecting a code. I check the developer options and the oem unlock was greyed out I wasn't able to toggle it on. I said I'm going to try a factory reset. I did just that on the setup process I put my Verizon sim and it work with no problem and I was now able to turn on the oem setting
