I bought LG Wing from USA T-Mobile variant and it says its permanently unlocked inside T-mobile app but when I put sim card, it says no sim card inserted. It never asks me for pin code so it looks to me it doesnt detect sim or something like that. I tried other sim card aswell but no luck. Any help regarding it?

Have you found a solution? I have the same problem as you. According to T-Mobile the only problem would be a hardware issue

Hey guys, i just received my Sony Ericson Xperia Arc S from japan (docomo). I just boot it, everything is fine until I insert the sim card, Im from Philippines and I'm new to android phones so i can't tell if this phone is unlock to all sim. I tried to scan the network and it detects all of the carrier in my country but i always prompted to this after i choose my carrier "your sim card does not allow connection to this network".
Your response will be much appreciated.
try with some other carrier sim cards on your phone...

Your phone does not have to be rooted to be unlocked. A carrier unlock is totally different. it allows you to use any sim card in your device. Rooting gives you access to the hidden file system that actually runs the phone.
I think you should contact your cell provider to replace the sim.
first try it with a different carrier's sim. if its working then ask your provider for a sim replacement. if its not working then your phone is probably carrier locked. (of course if reception is fine at your location)
I just received my nitro and I'd like to know if it is carrier unlocked. I popped in my orange sim card and booted up the phone. I wasn't asked to enter a code however. I'm still in the states, should I confirm with a tmobile sim card or is it safe to say my phone is unlocked? Thanks.
If it has accepted non at&t sim then it is unlocked obviously

do you have a custom rom? if so it may not ask for code, so it may still be locked. Try t-mobile sim just in case.
Thanks to the both of you for your replies. I was on a fully stock lg nitro. It turns out I was inserting my orange sim card the wrong way therefore the sim lock notification never came up. I popped in my sim card correctly, and sure enough it was blocked. I entered my code and everything went perfectly. I'm now on CM9!! Again thanks for the help
I get a used LS980 and It havn't activated with Sprint yet. No Unlocked yet. No Sprint sim card handy. Normally, it show NO Sim card on the phone, but when T-mobile or ATT sim card inseted, it still shows "NO SIM Card" I remove the sim card completely, and reboot the phone and insert Sim again. It still show No sim Card?
Don't they support to show invalid Sim Card if insert ATT or Tmobile sim card in a locked Sprint LS980 phone? I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy locked with Sprint, If sim card inserted, it show invalid. Same with Verizon locked phone show invalid sim if ATT or Tmobile inserted.
Now, it seem likes a defective sim slot on the phone. without activated or a Sprint sim, how to verify it. Please be advice?
inserting any sim besides sprint will show no sim card message

yup.. insert any sim beside sprint show No Sim Card message. is it normal for anyone?? or the sim slot defective?
I'm planing to use it on Freedompop. Order a sim from Tint.com could take awhile. While i'm wait for sim arrival, please tell is the sim slot defective or normal?
No one can help? Or test on your LS980 to find if it support to show invalid sim card on your locked LS980?
BTW, This device here still JB 4.2.2 with some of VZ8 firmware. Do I need to unlock for further test?

I am buying a Samsung Galaxy note 2 from craigslist. The post said the phone was locked to telus/koodo and so I messaged them saying that my simcard is from fido and would like to buy it than
unlock it so I could use it. He messaged saying he tried Rogers/bell and it wouldn't work and he doubted it would work with fido ( I don't know if he knows what he is talking about
because the post said it was locked ) and so I asked him if it was unlocked already or was it just locked to telus and koodo because I heard you could put a koodo sim card in a
Telus phone. He also said maybe the sim card reader is broken, but I thought if the sim card reader was broken it wouldn't be able to read any sim card at all not even telus sim card that it's supposedly
locked to. The phone is model SGH-I317M. I really want to buy this phone and it was the best one I found on craigslist. I am thinking of going to test if it is unlocked but how do I tell? Will a message pop
up when I put in my fido sim card in and boot it up saying "phone is locked, put in unlock code" ? :crying:

Yes a message will pop up asking you for the sim unlock code if it's locked. If it's not locked then you'll get signal. You also need to ask them what firmware is on the phone, cuz you can possibly unlock it from the hidden menu. Just search Xda for that.
Good luck on your new device ?
as the title suggests, i gotten the lg g3 from a guy off kijiji. He was with virgin mobile its d852. i payed to unlock the network and put my WIND sim in. I unlocked the network when there was no sim card. I put my sim card in but the only available networks i was getting is all away.
i swapped the sim thinking it might be that. no luck. i checked to see if this was blacklisted, it wasnt.
im running on cm13.
could this be because the bands are not activated? IF so, i tried following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059 but it didnt work. i couldnt get the right driver to show up.
Also could it have been impacted by unlocking the network without the sim card in yet?
if someone can help with skype to speed things up for live debugging that would be greatly appreciated. you can add me at [email protected] for skype.
update: so i called wind to see if they can register the phone as on the network and they said they cant put the imei on the account. what does that mean?
Wind needs d852g... Not d852... There is some old threads of people converting the rom and modem to d852g which unlocks the band required for wind.... Search for that, no idea if it works or not tho
Sent from my LG-D852
i had a g3 before and it was d852 and it worked fine...
like i said its d852. i couldnt even flash d852g in.
swapped sim cards with a friend who is also on wind and my g3 couldnt get service but my sim card worked fine on her phone.
another update flashed 852g firmware on my 852 no change. i did so with 852g firmware and 852 dll.
i also flashed 852 tot with 852g dll and still no change in network.
called virgin mobile and they see that the imei is no longer on the account.
this is such a pain does anyone have anything to help??? is there an easy way to view all the bands the phone currently have??
anyone??
