The guy who I got it from had Unlocked in the title. But when I put my Rogers SIM card in it says Network is locked. Please input unlock code.
Any cheap fast ways of getting rid of this? Thanks!
----------------------------------
UPDATE:
OK. So I tryed an unlocker from ebay twice (I didnt notice that the default email for my paypal account was an old invalid email of mine, but they should get a failure to deliver notice and refund my money, or so I hope) and I got a message back that read:
Hello - This is an automated message from NewMobileFreedom.com to let you know your unlock code is now available on our online tracking system.
Model: Wing
Code: NOT FOUND
Provider: T-Mobile
They say if they cant unlock it they will refund my money back. Does this mean no one can unlock me phone???
What should I do? Has anyone got a better way of getting this phone unlocked??? Thanks!
EDIT: I don't know if it matters, but the IMEI on the box is a bit different than the one from the phone (*#06#) the box has 15 digits and the phone show two extra digits - so 17 in total. Should I have given the 17 digit on???

i don't know if that will work because he doesn't have t-mobile ( and they aren't available in canada ) that's why he's trying to unlock the phone so he can use Roger's Wireless.
I'm using their web chat right now trying to get it from them... this could take a while. Where's Mitnick when you need him?
*Update* I got shutdown.
you could always purchase the unlock...
or is that out of the question.
No, I just did that. I'll get the code in the next day or two...

[Guide] You CAN unlock your Streak 5 after "network locked" (10 failed pin tries)
Great news everyone. I can 100% CONFIRM this works as I just did it on my Streak 5. The streak 5 I have was "network locked" meaning someone tried to put the code in 10 times and perm locking it to AT&T. (Normally carriers cant do anything and yea, go ahead try to go though dell or send it in...)
Anyways I used http://www.unlockstreak.com/ It costs 29$ for a registration code to unlock, using their software. (Which is the software you find all over google)
Now here is the trick. Once you get your code, You would put the code in like this: REGCODE,unblock
its IMPORTANT the ,unblock part is all lowercase! Then run the unlock phone option. You will go into fastboot mode as instructed, it will run through. (If you get a Java error or server error, turn off your AV or Firewall. I had to "pause" kaspersky to do mine)
It should come back saying its unlocked. Now let the DS5 reboot, then run the unlocker again WITHOUT the ,unblock in the regcode. It should send the image and say "waiting for reboot" However.. your PC may gripe saying "unrecognized usb device" Dont fret, just cancel the thing, then pull the battery out, pop in your sim card, boot up. It should be unlocked now fully. =) I know my T-Mobile sim is working in mine now. So this is 100% confirmed working by me. =)
So leaves us the community a question.. it seems to "unblock" the attempts for a network unlock code is a fastboot flash image file.. doesnt touch the rom any or so that you do. Would be cool if a dev could look into that, seems this program all it does is send an image file that resets the code attempts, reads the code and also applies it for a user. So makes me wonder.. if you already know the code from dell or so, should be a way to fastboot send that info yourself without having to pay 29$
Anyways still worth 29$ to actually manage to unlock it after it was permanent blocked to the network.
If this helps you, please consider using the alt link here
http://curebit.com/x/5fTsB (Which will give YOU 3$ off and me 3$ back heh) Seems however they only do this offer for 1 day per order. So I ask if you DO order, post a reply with a new link to allow other members of XDA to enjoy the discount and help make it cheaper for everyone. =)

Is it work with code purchase fro another site or only with code purchased from unlockstreak?
Not sure, I mean it might work with another site and you can always try in the app since the app itself is free. However I think their app since it goes by registration code to utilize the program...

So, is it posiible to find another app, which are doing the same. Because, i have a code purchase from another site, but it did not work. Show the mesage that unlock done and Please purchase an unlock from our website. And phone still locked.
Then maybe just use the stuff from the site I posted. Least I did confirm 100% that a network locked DS5 did manage to unlock and undo the 10 tries thing. Might suck to buy another code, but least you would be happy it worked.
How to get to unlock menu once I get unlock code?
I am not in america so it seems uicc unlock is not an option because I cannot connect to Boost.
Thanks.

Can someone give me code or tell me where to find to unlock boost moblie stylo 2
The Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile versions of the LG Stylo 2 (LS775) are not only carrier-locked, they are CDMA-only phones because the GSM capability is disabled in the firmware. In order to enable international GSM roaming, you must flash replacement firmware. There are several outfits that offer to do that on Ebay, with prices ranging from $10.99 to $30. It's not a simple code entry - they have to connect to your PC and load new firmware to the phone via a USB debug connection. But it does work.

First off, thanks for the info - great post.
like everyone else here, I'm having a problem unlocking my Boost-Mobile Stylo 2 (LGLS775). I noticed they made it practically impossible to switch carriers, there is no way to unlock the phone even with a code. When I switched sim cards I wasn't prompted with an option to unlock. So I tried other methods (like using the dial codes to prompt action with 2945#*775#, 2945#*71001#, and 2945#*20001#) with absolutely no avail.
Then I read your post, and it all makes sense now. It's disabled in the firmware for anything user end to prompt a carrier switch.
This is just evil.... anyways I looked up some Ebay sellers and found one who actually tells you were to download EVERYTHING needed for the process of unlocking the phone (No Z3X or Octoplus box required), the only problem is that I have no idea what I am supposed to do with all these files.
Here is the link to the seller's product below
http //wwwebaycom/itm/Unlock-Service-LG-Stylo-2-LS775-From-Sprint-Boost-Mobile-Virgin-Mobile-/142305877764
And this is where the seller asked the buyer to download all of the files
https //drivegooglecom/file/d/0BxP_zvOImZfnR0ZrOERMWHpSZWc/view
(I made an account specifically for this, URL needs colons after https and dots after www / drive and before com)
I'm currently just trying to figure this whole thing out little by little but if anyone wants to help pitch in it would be greatly appreciated.

In my knowledge, LG from Boost Mobile network can't be unlocked. Most likely from Boost doesn't ask for unlock code.

Yes it can, I just ordered it to be unlocked over Ebay. Turns out I was wrong with my earlier post. You have to replace the firmware, but since there are no KDZ files in existence for the phone you have to use a Z3X or Octoplus box. If you order an unlock over the internet they will just remote view on your pc and connect your USB inputs to theirs with flexihub on run the process as if they were doing it on their own. It sounds really sketchy and it is, but it works. Average cost is around 10 -15 dollars, and it takes around 15-60 mins. If you really want you can just do this yourself but you need to buy a smartcard box.
Thank you but when i tried the network 2945*#775 it doesn t do nothing can you please tell me why?

Hi,
Have you unsimlock your phone with ebay seller?
I have no Idea how to start but I will throw in whatever I have so far.
I ordered sim unlock from samsungsimunlock.com for $26 ($13 original price and $13 Pending Amount for Hard Locked phone). This morning I was provided the Unlock Code and an app called Network Unlock which looked like T-Mobile's device unlock app but was non functional. The instructions were clear, install the app and enter the unlock code when prompted, but only ended up with no Sim Unlock.
I checked Service Menu to find an option to enter Unlock Code but it was missing Phone Control menu option since T-Mobile restricted unlocks to their app.
Now I am wondering if I would be able to flash Verizon or ATT firmware and be able to enter the Unlock Code. I know people are still trying to figure out ways to install the firmware through Odin and no one has been successful so far. But I was just wondering if I would be able to change firmware to different carrier which has the option to enter unlock code.
Any replies or help would be really appreciated. And I can use my T-Mobile phone as test device if anyone has ideas.
You have to go through Tmobile's app if you have it locked to Tmobile's sim. Flashing another firmware may work but not guaranteed

I am facing the same problem...paid the $26.00 and got the code with the instructions. Followed everything and their app showed "Device is Permanently Unlocked" but when I tried another SIM card the phone showed that it was invalid and to use the T-Mobile unlock app
Working with the support people from samsungsimunlock.com right now but things don't look promising...
Did you reach out to samsungsimunlock.com or did you request a refund?
There code does not work at all and they are bs. I used blowfish unlocks and was able to get a code for the phone to be unlocked. The code works when you flash the rom for testing the phones. It accepts the code but when you reinstall the T-Mobile software the phone stays locked.
T-Mobile and there bul**** app... the app unlock server is down and I don't know if it will come back online. We will just have to wait for root and a unlock method
Just used the T-Mobile unlock app. It's been exactly 44 days since first use on the TMo network, so I gave it a shot. Easy peasy! Only needed a restart.
i just carried unlocked my s8+ from tmo,i send a message to T-force and they help me to unlock my phone in just 10 min,im from mexico and i bought it in brownsville tx
this site i explained to the after reading this and before ordering,they guaranteed me my phone will be unlocked which they failed to do ,now they dont reply to emails nor do they want to grant my refund requested

Just curious but when you said the code works when you flashed the rom for testing, did you try and then flash another carrier's rom (like AT&T, Sprint, or Verizon) rather than re-install the T-mobile software? Was it able to pick up a signal after it accepted the code while you were not on the T-mobile firmware?

Does that means if I flash another carrier's firmware phone will work? Or what do you mean by rom for testing?
via msl to unlock the phone by z3x box is no possible.
SamsungSimUnlock.com are a SCAM!!!
Dear XDA people looking to unlock your phones,
The post below, is just a copy of this post (ht tps://forum.xda-developers. com/showpost.php?p=73084963&postcount=117), but for convenience I've copied it here:
Do not, again, DO NOT use samsungsimunlock.com. They scam people into sending them codes. I was scammed out of $26. Their website states they refund the money if it doesn't work, they don't.
Here is what happens (I've broken it down in a number of steps):
1. You go to their website, and order an unlock code. It states that it is $13. Great. You then wait.
2. You receive this e-mail:
Dear xxxx,
we have checked your order and found that the Unlock Code for your Samsung phone is available in our 'High Range' database because your carrier has locked your phone with a highest level of encryption (almost all new models like s8/s8+ are hard locked)*and we have*to use a Special New 2017 Unlocking Tool (which cost more than normal)*to get the correct*unlock code for your hard locked*Samsung phone.
The final cost for unlocking your phone is*$26.00
Below are the details of your order:
Phone Model
Samsung Galaxy S8 (Vodafone_UK_server#2)
*
IMEI#
358793/08/000000/5
Paid Amount
$13.00
Pending Amount
$13.00
To finish the unlocking process for your Samsung phone*please click on this link*and pay additional $13.00 to make the total amount*$26.00
*
Kindly note:*the new price for the unlock code ($26.00) is still the lowest for your Samsung phone which is locked by the high level of encryption. We guarantee that you will not get official correct unlock code cheaper than this cost on any other website.
*
Thank you

3. You click the link, pay, then wait a few hours, and then you receive this e-mail:

4. You download the app, enter the code, and it says that your phone is permanently unlocked. You are happy, restart the phone, enter new sim, and find out that the phone is not unlocked at all.
You find out that the app is just a dummy app, and it doesn't matter what code you enter, it always says that it's permanently unlocked. It never is.
5. You reply to them, tell them that the code is not working, and they stall with various e-mails.
Stalling e-mail one:
Dear customer,
*
we’ve got unlock code for your phone directly from Vodafone server and this code is
in 100% working condition, it`s official factory sim unlock code provided by official carrier employees.
Seems like the problem on your side. Here is some useful recommendations.
*
Very often unlock code is not working because our customers flashing on
their phones custom ROM`s which includes custom basebands. These
changes in the structure of the radio module (baseband) are not acceptable
to unlock and this may be the reason why our code is not working. So
please make sure that your phone using original stock ROM and original
baseband firmware and your phone never was modified before.
*
Also here is some helpful advises:
-Try to reset your phone to factory settings.
-Make sure that sim card is not locked by PIN or PUK code
-Make sure that sim card which you put in your phone is activated and has
positive amount
-Make sure that your phone was not lost or stolen before because IMEI may be blacklisted
-Contact a person who gave\sold you this phone and ask make sure that phone was not refubrished by manufacturer before.
*
Additionally please contact your network operator, the problem also may be
in the high level of lock encryption for your sim card. Please ask
your carrier to change the level of encryption to normal that`s will make an
unlock code compatible with the sim card which you trying to activate.
*

it takes more time then usual, because of the very high traffic on their server and 10 hour
time difference. We will contact you as soon as we will receive an response regarding your order from official carrier support.
Please be patient, we are also waiting like you.
Thank you

Stalling e-mail seven (after which I requested a refund for a second time):
Dear customer,
We will send a request to carrier server regarding aprox. delivery time and as soon as they will answer us, we will forward this information directly to your email address.
You know, all requests are official and they all are coming directly from carrier server, so we are also waiting like you and like all other services. So please don`t worry, this is simple delay, just need to wait a bit until database will be updated.
Best regards

All this time, I've complied with their requests for screenshots and stuff. So, after eight e-mails, it's easy to conclude that this is just a tactic.
I waited more than two weeks for them to comply with the refund. They haven't.
6. You go on XDA forums to warn other users not to use them, because this is the place where I found that site, which was probably plugged by the scammers themselves.
7. Find another reputable Unlock code provider.
Ultimately I did find a website, and they sent me a code which worked flawlessly. I'm not stating which one it is, so that this post doesn't seem like it's from someone trying to promote a website.
So, there you have it folks. I have an unlocked phone, but my back account is $26 lighter.
If you have $26 that is just itching to leave your bank account, donate it, or buy some random person some flowers. Do not use samsungsimunlock.com
I will update this post if I hear back from SamsungSimUnlock.com
I got scammed too...
Any chance you can PM me the URL of the site that worked for you?
I've been waiting 4 weeks now for a working code from samsungimunlock.com after also paying $26....
These guys are seriously scammy....

Dear XDA people looking to unlock your phones,
The post below, is just a copy of this post (ht tps://forum.xda-developers. com/showpost.php?p=73084963&postcount=117), but for convenience I've copied it here:
Do not, again, DO NOT use samsungsimunlock.com. They scam people into sending them codes. I was scammed out of $26. Their website states they refund the money if it doesn't work, they don't.
Here is what happens (I've broken it down in a number of steps):
1. You go to their website, and order an unlock code. It states that it is $13. Great. You then wait.
2. You receive this e-mail:
3. You click the link, pay, then wait a few hours, and then you receive this e-mail:
4. You download the app, enter the code, and it says that your phone is permanently unlocked. You are happy, restart the phone, enter new sim, and find out that the phone is not unlocked at all.
You find out that the app is just a dummy app, and it doesn't matter what code you enter, it always says that it's permanently unlocked. It never is.
5. You reply to them, tell them that the code is not working, and they stall with various e-mails.
Stalling e-mail one:
Stalling e-mail two:
Stalling e-mail three:
Stalling e-mail four:
Stalling e-mail five:
Stalling e-mail six:
Stalling e-mail seven (after which I requested a refund for a second time):
Stalling e-mail eight (still no refund):

Why would flashing another carriers firmware do anything?
Did you put in a non T-Mobile mobile sim? If so were you prompted to enter an unlock code?
Hey peeps,
loaded the unlocked firmware onto the phone, so far so good, its now asking for an unlock code, which is what I want. Any recommendations for a reputable seller?
I've come from tmo where you're supposed to use the app, but if what Sheon849 says is correct, should be able to unlock with a code now...
Any suggestions welcome!

Dear All, I badly need help. Actually, my phone, regularly owned and connected to my Microsoft account, pretends it is in Recovery Mode Protection. It happened after I restored it.
The facts:
I did not remember to have activated this protection
When I try to check the IMEI of the phone in account.microsoft.com/devices/ it tells me the protection is not active
When I tried to follow the online suggestion of disconnecting the phone from the account, to obtain the unlock code on the webpage and to have it sent to my email, both these two things did not happen.
In summary, I have my phone locked (I suppose it is an error in phone software), removed from my account, and I cannot have the unlock code, nor ask Microsoft for it because, to them, my phone is not locked.
When I ask for support they bounce me among Accounts, Windows and Mobile support. Three weeks have passed, nothing happened of the case I opened with them.
Could you suggest me anything I could do, or get me to the right support to have my phone fixed?
I can provide the purchase proof of the phone.
Thank you in advance!
Kind regards
