I got the unlock code off ebay. When I put a verizon postpaid sim in I just get a webpage for phone locked, when I dial #786074* I just get a voice prompt saying device is not active. How do I unlock?
Ok, found it! from settings: wireless & networks:
well, I can't find it again. I think it goes away once I unlock it. But there was an option in there to change network carriers and that brought me to the unlock screen.

I have a locked tmobile htc one and bought a tmobile compatible sim from ST. I also acquired my specific unlock code but when I put the new sim in, the prompt to unlock does not appear. AND after I enter new APN, I cant delete the stock tmo APNs and the the phone keeps defaulting back to tmo APN.....
I get phone and MMS but no email or internet. HOW CAN I ENTER MY UNLOCK CODE???
thanks for any help or suggestions.
You need to put in a non T-Mobile sim for the network unlock prompt to display.
thank you, but now....

I cannot get rid of TMO APNs.....the APN manager apps all say cant change android 4.0+. I have phone and text but no data, or email....
I got a code from Cellunlock.net and I followed the video instructions carefully. I've been using ATT in the states since the launch so I was activated so thats a nonissue.
I put in the Rogers SIM, got "Enter your unlock code". I did that and then it said "SIM Not Provisioned MM2#"
Im getting 4 bars of cell reception and I went into the network settings to specifically select Rogers and it sat and said "Attempting to register on rogers". After 5 minutes nothing happened.
I don't have any ROGERS in the top left corner for my carrier. Just 4-5 signal bars.
When I try to enter the #7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE# method(s) it just says "EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY".
I cant even do
*#7465625#
1. [xxx] Network lock
2. [xxx] Subset lock
3. [xxx] SP lock
to check. It just says emergency calls only.
Should I try doing the activation methods with the ATT sim in and not the rogers? Kinda afraid of messing this up. Is this what "hardlocked" is and I need to use the Defreeze method? Im deeply confused.

Based on what I see the SIM you have from Rogers has not been activated by Rogers yet. That is what the NOT PROVISIONED message means. You need to call Rogers and see if the SIM is actually active. It looks to me the unlock worked since it see the SIM now as Not provisioned. Usually if the unlock fails it will just kick you back the the code entry screen..

Ugh how embarrassing...
I originally thought maybe that was the case too, but I was positive it wasn't... at first.
What ended up happening when I opened the Rogers account and got my SIM was the man pulled out a large SIM card. He started entering account information and when I noticed it I said "Im sorry, I think I need the microSIM not that one."
He said "oh! Perfect timing. I can still correct that, almost sent it without it." And he scanned the microSIM into the computer.
So I was positive that it was activated due to that.
But of course, it wasn't.
I walked into another Rogers that I happened to be closer to earlier today than the one I started at and the man was like "yep, the SIM number on your account is not the one in your phone right now." He changed it on the account and handed me back the SIM. Popped it in - and bam, Rogers 4G LTE.
I was dead set on it being something I messed up, the code not working, or some Samsung nonsense.
Unrelated: Im getting 48/17mbps. WOW, screw ATT. This thing is outstanding, and at 1/2 the price. Literally half.

I would like to purchase the GS6A from Amazon. It's without a plan but it is locked. Will I be able to unlock it in my country if I don't have any account at ATT's, etc?
How does that work?
You don't need a AT&T account for unlocking it. You can buy the unlock code form any unlocking website online.
My self using it in India bought from eBay and unlocked it later.
Note that it's not blacklisted or anything like that.
If you buy from ATT and pay retail price, they will give you the unlock code. Just call their customer service line.
Doesn't Make Sense
So, since I don't know much about unlocking devices, I asked AT&T Customer Support about it:
Me : After the 14 days: In unlocking the phone, does the phone have to be connected to the network actively at that time? What if I'm out of the country with the phone and want to unlock it remotely from some other location outside of AT&T network?
Karina : You will need to be within the U.S. to have it connected to our network to have it unlocked.
Me : I couldn't be on ROAMING at the time?
Karina : No, that will be since you will receive an email with the code to have it unlocked and need to be connected to our service.

So, this doesn't make sense, because the process for unlocking the phone is to turn it off, remove the AT&T SIM, put in another carrier's SIM.
Turn on the device and you should receive a message to enter in an unlock code.
Don't see why the phone needs to be present on the AT&T network first in order to receive the unlock code. What, do they send it via SMS or something?
I have a SM-G925A that I purchased unlocked. I am using it with a Straight Talk sim with no problems. However, I am now trying to use a LIME sim and it is saying "SIM Network Unlock Pin". I contacted AT&T and received the unlock code but it is not working.
Is there a way for me to Network Unlock my phone without the need of the unlock code? Like perhaps with a USB?
My phone is not rooted and it is on Android 5.1.1. G925AUCU3BOI2 factory.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks
Most phones ive come across over the years you put in the wrong sim and it asks for a code to unlock it for use on other networks
This phone just tells me its locked to a network, however after some digging i found a TF Unlock menu. which is different from the "lock sim" menu.
Anyone every run across a network unlock that asks for two codes?
and is this the right menu for the network unlock
i tried to post the pictures of the menu i found but its not letting me do it
