Hey guys
I purchased a Telus Optimus 7 phone and I'm trying to unlock it. I got the code from a specific website... but when I put in my SIM card (from another provider) the phone prompts that "the sim is locked and you need a PUK". I got the PUK from my service provider but when I enter it... it gives me a SIM ERROR message. I know that the phone is suppose to prompt me to "enter pin" but it doesnt do it. Am I doing something wrong ?
Everyone looking to unlock their LG Optimus 7, heed my warning!
DO NOT ENTER A WRONG UNLOCK CODE MORE THAN 2 TIMES! IT WILL LOCK ITSELF ON THE WRONG 3RD ATTEMPT.
If you do, it's really locked and needs to be either re-sent to LG/carrier or completely re-flashed. The PUK it's asking is "Phone Unlock Key", not "PIN Unlock Key". Which means the phone itself is "locked" not NCK locked.
Btw, same thing happened to me.
whoa... think that in his case is the Personal unlocking code, not the Phone unlocking code... if u put the original SIM card the phone works? if so, or the SIM that ask you the PUK is fried or you just really don't have unlocked the phone
I've purchased an unlock code but it's asking for a PUK Key as well. How do I figure this out? Google hasn't helped. Is this a key Telus can provide? Or do I need a new SIM card (could mine have some kind of lock on it?)
Thanks!
I have tha same problem, does any one how to make my phone works, or to find a PHONE unlock key(PUK) without contacting AT&T (the original's phone carrier) because I don't use AT&T service, but I want to unlock my phone ... my LG quantum says ''your phone is locked, contact you service provider for an unlock code''

I got an unlock code from Vodafone. I followed the instructions, put in a different carriers SIM (Orange), boots the phone up and there's no prompt to unlock code. The phone boots normally and says no sim card is in. Has anyone had similar problems? Rang both VF and HTC and were unable to help! Does anyone have an idea of how to bring up the 'unlock' prompt?
Once you unlock the phone, it should bring up a keypad, or you should be able to bring up the keypad to dial in the unlock code. Hit OK afterwards, and it'll unlock the SIM. Just did it now.

I put in the new sim card, the phone boots as normal. I get no prompt to unlock it, neither does the keypad come up. It just says I have no sim inserted.
I have the same problem,when I put other sim not asking for unlocking code,do u find how to enter unlocking code?
I have the same issue. Did anyone ever get it figured out?
I'd really appreciate some help
Did you put in the sim card the wrong way?
Sent from my S-OFF Bell Canada HTC Legend.
I relocked my phone to bell because I needed to exchange my earphones and now when I try to unlock it wont work. Basically, when I turn the phone on with any sim card it just shows a no service icon and the phone thinks there is no sim no pop up saying invalid sim. It does not ask for a code. When I put the code in via #7465625*638*# it says unlock unsuccesful but when I put the same code to lock it to mcc/mnc using *7465625*638*# it works.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
ummm... first thought, why did u relock it to exchange ear phones? i exchanged the device itself when it was fully unlocked.
back to topic. u might have to exchange the device.
If you need help msg me
Okay first off all I think I posted in the wrong forum sorry. And I figured out that I was putting the sim card in wrong . But the underlying problem is there it is locked to Rogers now I cannot completely unlock just lock it to different providers.
Hello
I recently bought myself Samsung SCH-I770 phone which has Windows Mobile 6.1 operation system.
My problem is that it's network/sim locked. I cannot use it with my country SIM card.
Though, there's code entering option under "Phone->Settings->Security-SIM Lock". 6 digit code and it gives the answer "Lock code and Input code do not match." after I enter the WRONG code. I think it checks the code which is written somewhere on the memory of phone.
Now - my question is. Would it be possible to BRUTE FORCE the password using that option? 6 digit code (numbers) is only 1 million possibilities - shouldn't take THAT long for a program to process.
Thank you in advance,

PS: I have checked unlock softwares which are posted on this forum, but non seemed to be working.

Most phones lock permanently after 10-30 failed attempts to unlock. Some don't, so if you have good typing skills and memory, trying all combinations will only take you a "little while".
So critical. I think follow instructions of 'stepw'
Isn't there a risk that somebody might "try" to unlock the phone and it will be locked forever? How could one unlock the phone from being locked forever?
Like PUK code for SIM card, when SIM is locked by trying to enter PIN codes too many.
Hi all, I aready have the unlock code, I got it calling T-Mobile telling them I was going over seas, my problem is that when you insert a none t-mobile sim card example AT&T and you turn on your phone it will it supposed to bring an option so you can enter the code and unlock the cell phone, but these option dose not appear.
How can I make it appear so I can enter the unlock code?
is there any other way... do I have to use the factory reset?
another info its that this phone has never been rooted or unlocked
Thanks in advance for the help.
Hi,
I have lg g2(D802) with Orange simlock and I just wondering that is it possible to remove simlock by flashing kernel or rom?
I have tried to remove it by code but when I enter 2945#*802# and select any option, I get the message that the phone is permanently locked.
No. you need to buy an unlock code.
It's 1.7 - 1.9 $, it's cheap if you ask me.
I have tried that but as I wrote in first post I can't do that because when I enter 2945#*802# and select any option, I get the message that the phone is permanently locked.
Maybe the device is blacklisted or something. Or wrong code has been entered few times. Try other types of unlock or try inserting unsupported sim

I have exactly the same problema. My operator gives me wrong codes and now it say that it is my fault.
So I have my LG g2 802 rooted and I wonder how to unlock it, beacause of the bad operator behaviour (Vodafone) I just want to change my service provider asap, but I just very happy with my current phone.
so, does anybody some new ideas about how to unlock a "permanent blocked" phone?
Thanks in advance
