Hi everybody,
I used the codes on a Vodafone UK Omnia I just bought on eBay, everything shows unlocked.
But it won't connect to the AT&T network, when I soft reset it shows all the reception bars, but I can't dial nor receive any calls.
I am using firmware i900DXHH3 for PDA and Phone
Please help!!!!!
Thanks

Hey all, first posy (yay!)

I just replaced my HTC Touch with an Omnia, unfortunately I've got a problem with my Omnia, it's Network Locked. Here's the story lol. Got my Samsung Omnia yesterday from an online retailer which was supposingly unlocked . Charged it and inserted my sim, Vodafone AU and after all the customisation bits I landed on, "Insert PIN number". Thinking it was for my Vodafone sim (which I have no pin number for) I spent a whole afternoon googling "What is the default Vodafone pin". Finally after some googling and typing codes into my Omnia, I realised that it was network locked. (Also tried a Telstra sim, same story)

Now, I do NOT know what network my phone was orignally intended for as there are no markings on the box, manual, phone or cd's. I have contacted the online retailer whom I ordered off and to no avail, no response (they are suposingly open over the weekend). 

I have tried entering lots of codes and have followed this forum real closely. Unfortunately I have no IMSI number, it says "Not Active". I have changed numbers around and done hard resets and typed in many other codes etc etc. I urgently need a usable phone for Monday onwards.

So, is there a way I can network unlock this phone or at least fine the service provider. (I think this phone was imported from overseas as the manuals are in Polish as well as the box)



I thank you all for your time and hopefully you can help me and possible many others who have the same problem. 



Phone Information:

PDA: i900DXHH3
Phone: i900DXHH3



Also it could be an i900D? (i900_Executor program for disembling a rom reports phone binary thingy as an i900D (which I may/may not upgrade to))

If you have a problem (like "Fail to Set Locking status"), change the ROM on the other (for example, as in my message, do not forget to backup), then work, then go back to the old ROM.

Hy to everybody i'm a new one of this wondefull forum.
I've bought a Samsung i900 Omnia phone from a UK Ebay seller.
He said me that this phone, although it was Vodafone UK branded, was unlocked and i would have been able to use it with any SIM card or operator.
Indeed i were able to use this phone with my H3G Italian operator making calls and sending sms,
but i wasn't able to connect to Internet by my operator and also strangely with WiFi connection.

I realized that this phone was locked, maybe net-locked.

So i think it's necessary to unlock it, but i'm afraid to make mistakes.
Does exist a secure and simple method to unlock my phone without risk to brick it ?

My device is so configured:
      PDA    i900XXHHD/ACHH3
       PHONE    i900BUHH2

Is it possible to upgrade this phone to Italian version ?
For me it's the same for English version too.

It this solution on the top of this mex also right for me ?
What is it exactly NCK number ? Which one do i need to use ? Vodafone UK or my H3G italian operator ?
Where can i find this number ?

Thanks a lot to any help i will receive.
Johnmel

P.S. Sorry for my bad english

[ALAIWAT]

I followed steps 1 and of the procedure to unlock Omnia I900, looked by Orange. When executed step 3:
"type your new NCK (12345678), then OK". Then i  I got an error message "sim failure error happened"
Any help, please

[Spookman]

Hi, followed the guide to the letter.

MCC/MNC = 234308  (T-Mobile UK)
NCK = 12345678

press OK and all i get is "Fail To Set Locking Status"

got the MCC/MNC from the registry so i know it's right

Is there any counter for how many times you can do this before it stops you doing it altogether ??

Thanks Spookman

[klinzter]

   OMG!! At last it's working!!

Tried it for several times but now this method works. I had a Vodalock and you saved me 25 euro's for unlocking! TNX!

So I did what you told me; Voda Netherlands is 20404 and I had to complete it with 1 digit (2) for unlocking with this method.
So again a complete discription for unlocking;

Go to the registry, HKCU\System\State\PHONE, and wrote down the first 6 digits of the value of the IMSI entry.

1. type *7465625*638*# to set
2. type the first 6 digits of the value of the IMSI entry here.
3. type your new NCK (12345678), then OK
3. type *#7465625# to check your lock (network lock still enabled)
4. type #7465625*638*# and type your NCK (12345678)
5. enjoy.

Awsome!!!! Worked on my UK T-Mobile branded BOHH5 Omnia. Thanks so much!

The steps worked for my used Samsung phone that I bought unlocked, but after a hard reset, I have had problems making WAP-settings changes be made by my Danish phone company. Anyway, the procedure worked and enabled me to disable network lock. Fantastic! Thanks!

also English in the xda forum: http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?p=3101945

IMPORTANT: THIS PROCEDURE IS ONLY VALID IF YOU HAVE ORIGINAL NETWORK SIM CARD INSIDE YOUR PHONE DURING THE PROCESS OF UNLOCK.
This mean that you have to put inside your Omnia SIM slot an SIM card on which Network i900 Omnia is LOCKED.(example-if it is locked with T-mobile UK then you have to put any SIM card but it has to be T-mobile UK SIM card) Mine was locked on t mobile Hungary and only when I have put inside T mobile SIM ...well I have maneged to unlock my Omnia with first procedure abowe in the quote..

Many thanks and keep up the good work....
Next steep windows mobile 6,5!

[Billus]

Have you tried putting in the original sim? I didn't have the original sim (mainly because my phone was meant to be unlocked when I bought it) and it cost me $35AU to unlock it. Basically they change the radio rom so never flash the radio otherwise you may have to fork out the money again.
