I`m very sad to say I`m still not able to unlock the phone. I`m stuck @ step 5.

When I open Sim Unlock Helper and go to log and comeback, it just says start and nothing like Device Verified and all. Another thing--> even after pressing simunlock and waiting for few mins and coming back to log, the log file is empty only.. Someone please help..

[gpkumaran 21]

sim unlock is showing the hidden menu but there is no message on device verified while pressing back key & no message on sim unlock.

Sim is not getting unlocked. Pls confirm if sim unlock works hboot 3.19.

I`m going through the same problems as you. Please guide me through how to unlock and please consider posting it here as it wud help others facing similar probs. I have also PMed you..

Most probably this issue may occur if the kernel is still write protected. Please flash the below stock write protection removed kernel and try unlocking.

Please note the below stock kernel has front camera issue. Once unlocking is successful then flash stock kernel.

You are the man.. Thanks a lot.. iamrafiq.. I got it working..

[gpkumaran 21]

And I`m very sorry to say that @pradeep564 tried to make business out of this situation. Eventhough He came out of a similar situation as I am in, he asked me a "NOMINAL FEE" of 500 for unlocking..

[pradeep564 8]

Fpkumaran- Before making any statements, Pls refer your inbox again. I have clearly written that one of my friend will do this for u @ a nominal fee of rs500.

Fyi.. I have got it done from him when I was stuck at this stage.

Glad to know it worked.

[iamrafic 85]

i followed whole of the procedure but no cdma pop up and now no network

simcard invalid notofication has gone

Make it RUIM only using DFS. It will work.

So Fradeep, It would`ve been nice had you divulged this information right out in the open forum instead of asking me to PM and then telling me that YOUR FRIEND wants 500 rs.

[Richard Anderson Baiden 0]

Went through the process successfully but the sim I have is gsm and it doesn't seem to work. I don't get any invalid sim notification but the sim won't show. Please help, I want to used my gsm sim. In my country (Ghana) only gsm carriers are available

[dr.faramroze 703]

At any point in time or after factory reset if the phone is stuck on activation screen, boot into twrp recovery, mount system, goto file manager, system directory, priv-app, delete setupwizard.apk and odex files. Reboot and it straight away lands on the home screen.

@gpkumaran

pradeep is right i helped him out and initially i asked him money because many people are importing and asking step by step information.

knowing that he has unlocked phones earlier and not a newbie i just forwarded him the files.

every thing is there in forum we just need to pay attention.

and my intention is not to lose customers that is the reason i ask to pm.

if every newbie unlocks then who is going to pay us.

Do we need to click on "sim lock" in the Simunlocker app with UICC sim inserted in the phone?

Please help me.. Thanks in advance!
