Hey yall, I am hoping and praying that is someone out there in xda that could help me with my problem. I wanted to install the unlock bootloader on my phone, and I followed all the steps and when I was done everything was working okay except I could not connect to me service provider. I went to my service provider to today and they they changed my sim card thing that it was the problem. Now my phone shows signal when I switch it to GSM but when I try to make a phone call it cuts off..
Has anyone had this issue and if yes how did you fix it ?
Have you ever sim-unlocked your phone? If you have, you need to unlock it again using setool and proceed with bootloader unlocking using the setool.bat, not semc.bat. The same goes if your phone is sim-locked. Unlock it with setool.
If you never sim-unlocked your phone, or it was sim-lock free from the time you bought it, unlock the bootloader with semc.bat.
Now, try unlock the bootloader with semc.bat and see what happens.
Im having a similar problem my x10 have a unlocked boot loader but my phone have a signal problem , the signal is very low
, someone can help me?
Sorry for bad english.

You may have unlocked your bootloader with the wrong .bat file. What .bat file you used?

Hi all,
I'm new to this board.
I tried to unlock this phone with the app for unlocking which In sent to the phone thru Bluetooth.
I ran it first time, and although it said unlocked, I did not see it, as it was hidden under the window, so I ran it a second time, then it showed an error message.
So when I closed all, I then saw the successful unlock return.
But immediately, the phone started showing: "Service Provider Locked, Pls input unlock code"
Now even the Orange SIM cannot work anymore, also showing locked.
The phone is locked to Orange UK.
Here are data's I get when I Power the phone:
R 1.05.10
G 1337.39
D1.06.00 WWE
It is locked to Orange UK.
Pls can some1 tell me how to successfully unlock this phone ????
Thanks,
dannyogolo

easy steps unlocking
yes use the application that you have, I think you got version 1.6, when you use it don't put any SIM card on the phone then when all is dane, just insert any SIM, it workS!!
let me know
ok, so i used lokiwiz and i got my code thingy. After that i put in a tmobile sim card and it went but didnt ask me to enter the code, so i tried making a phone call. It went through, and also stated under something that i was using tmobile..... was my phone unlocked from the beggining? Also, how can i find out if it is unlocked? thanks
bump..... anyone wanna tell me?
yes you did unlock your phone otherwise when you put your tm sim in it would ask for the lock code.
Ok.. sooo.. Some people have gotten the JIC ota update from tmobile USA.. Well i decided to go ahead and update it. Well I lost the carrier unlock on it now.
I was just the stock rom on it rooted and unlocked using the one click unlock to get teh codes to unlock the phone. It worked then. Now with the JIC6 update i have lost that unlock. Also the one click unlock app to get the codes no longer works. I have also seen other post about using a hex editor to look at the nv_data.bin file to look for the unlock codes (no success). I have the original code from before the update, but it does not work. Is there a Way to unlock the vibrant with the JI6 update?
Just enter the same code you got last time. and it will unlock you.
If anyone else reads this. Please keep your code. and put it someplace safe. everytime you flash you will need to re-unlock most like a iphone.
Interseting that i didnt even have to reenter it. First when i updated and than checked teh network lock code showing that it was on so i than proceded to use the one click unlock app and it didnt not work. SO lucky for me i have a screenshot of the code when i first used the unlock app. so i did the same process and put in another carrier sim and entered the unlock code. It told me it was unsuccessful. Now that i went to try it again after my first post. I procceded to put in the other carrier sim card and it was unlocked.
Oh well. Thanks!

He says in the OP that he has the original code, but it doesn't work.
I know this is actually a known Samsung problem that has happened on many of their phones (even ones that came unlocked from what I've read) & generally re-entering the key works.
If it doesn't work for me, I'll call up TMO & complain. I bought the phone at retail price off contract, so they should give the code w/o a problem.
Generally as long as you've been a customer with them for at least 30-90 days (and your phone is beyond the returnable period), they'll give the unlock code if you call & ask for it. Sometimes you have to say that you'll be travelling out of country in order to get them to give it to you.
Is there a way to unlock without putting in a foreign SIM?
WTF !
Do you mean that updating the device to JI6 will lock the phone ?!
I unlocked mine with a code is that means I'll lose the unlock ?!
I discovered this a few weeks ago. I was working on a fix when I bricked my phone.
I just got my replacement on Tuesday and will be continuing the fix.
What happens is either something within the ODIN process, or on the rom itself puts a generic bml3 block on that contains all F's where the unlock code is stored.
I also know that it's stored on the nv_data.bin in the ./efs block.
I have been able to get my unlock code to be seen by the sgux program when modifying the bml3 file and pushing it back to my phone.
I will be working on nv_data next, though, seeing as my new phone has the unlock codes already, I'll have to do some editing and backing up.
I have my old codes with me so can someone confirm if old codes still works after the update ?
Thanks for sharing the information with us regarding phone. It may help us n the future.

Yeah after my original posts i think your old code will work. It will probably give an error of that it was unsuccessful. Just ignore it. and and just reboot the phone.
so basically to recap what i did.
updated JIC6 ota with tmobile.
checked network lock *#7465625# ( showing that the network lock was on.)
tried that software one click app to get code. (unsuccessful)
powered off phone
put in another carrier sim card.
bootup phone.
put in old code i had from before update to jic6 ( says that it was unsuccessful )
power off phone
put back Tmobile sim
power off phone
put other carrier sim in
unlocked!
i dont have tmobile sim ...do you think it needs that ?
I ran into this on my old vibrant running jfd. Unlocked and rooted and I needed to reflash jfd with odin. Phone relocked itself even reflashing same firmware. Efs data didn't change because the unlock code could still be retrieved. But when I inserted my att sim the code unlock said unsuccessful no matter what I tried. It never unlocked again.

So old codes didnt work for you and you are stuck.
can anyone confirm if we should update or not to remain unlocked ?
anyone confirming this ?
I got two different statements here
Ok, I updated my vibrant to JI6 today and it didn't lock my device !!
Since I don't use T-mobile data plan so I downloaded the leaked rom from (Vibrant Android development) section then I flashed the stock rom followed by JI6 ROM and it's working perfect !!
Maybe because mine is unlocked officially by T-Mobile code !
Or may be only ota is locking
We need more info

Now time to check whats new :d
They will not release a code nor will att for 9 months after the phone is out. You may call and ask.
Thats why i offer unlock services for these phones.
Successful OTA update yesterday, NO NETWORK LOCK, phone was rooted with no lag fix
I received a unlock code for my phone and when i put a sim card for other network it is not detecting any network but when i put the sim unlock code phone is accepting it and telling that phone is successfully unlocked.
Can someone help me how can i resolve this issue and be able to use my phone on other network other than TMobile
I am trying to use the phone on Aitel Network in Delhi India - FYI
Reboot the phone after you've unlocked it.
If it boots locked again - there's your problem.
If it reboots unlocked, but you still see no data - you might have a HW issue with your phone. Looking at your carrier supported bands, the phone should work with them. Verify that you have a good signal in your area.

Hi Eveyrone,
I bought a SM-N900W8 unlocked from a guy. The phone has NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK problem. I can see full bar but cannot make any phone call. The seller said he tried to flash cm and somehow screwed it up, so he reset and restore the phone to its original stock android. Right now im trying to make it recognize my sim. Does anyone have a solution for this? Should I root the phone and try region lock/ sim unlock?
Please let me know
Thank you
UPDATE: I still have my IMEI, its is the same as in the box
i have the same problem. Did u manage to get it to work ??
