S6000 fastboot unlock issues
Like many of you, my S6000F was easily rooted; but, isn't cooperating with my attempts to unlock it.I have been following the directions posted at Lenovo Ideatab S6000 Unlock Bootloader Tutorial (not allowed to post a link); but, have hit a brick wall when trying to execute the command line: fastboot-windows oem unlock I get one of two error messages: 1) If I am at the command line, and the tablet is in normal Android, it will say: Waiting on device2) If I have the tablet in fastboot mode, it will say: fastboot is not recognized as an external or internal command I have ensured thatADT was fully installed and configuredthe correct adb windows and adb drivers were installed (I have tried the Google drivers provided with the guide I lined to above; and, also tried the Universal Naked Drivers)adb can 'see' the tablet, as can Windows (in device manager with the tablet in normal and fastboot modes)I use an administrative command prompt windowadb, fastboot and sdk are all in the same folder; and, that I open an administrative command prompt in that same folderI have honestly spent hours trying to find relevent info via Google and Bing; and, then researching in the forums that show up in the searches. All the steps that I bulleted above are the results of what I have found, piecemeal; but, I havn't been able to find one, complete lucid guide to this issue. Any solid direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, in advance!PJ Arts
Only the original carrier can unlock a locked iPhone.
Apple will not unlock a iPhone if you purchased a carrier lock iPhone, the original carrier have to do it.
If you purchased your phone at Orange they will have to do it for you if you qualified for it.
iF you purchased form someone else, you need to contact them.
In some countries like UK, Mexico, France, Canada you can purchase a unlock iPhone, but you will pay full price.
There is a difference between unlock iPhone and no-contract iPhone, the no contract iPhone is locked to a particular carrier but at the time of purchase you chose not to sign the contract, you can do it later, but the phone will be lock to that particular carrier.
A unlock iPhone is a factory unlock equipment and can be purchased only at Apple directly and can be used with any carrier around the world that have support for the iPhone.
Be careful, where you will purchased your phone. the majority of carriers will not unlock a locked phone.

C3-01 Touch and Type Keypad Lock/Unlock Issue,,
I just bought this C3-01 touch and type phone and it got big issue of locking/unlocking key pad..
phone gets locked and even if I click on keylock button and then click unlock (on touch screen) then it never gets unlocked.. (I checked guide it says same thing)
how to resolve this issue? anyone had same issue?
Solved!
Go to Solution.1st Of All, If u just got oyur Nokia C3-01 Device, then You must be having the old version of SOftware in it, maybe v05.68. So In that SW, You have to press the unlock, there is no swipe to unlock,
So, You can clearly see, there is a Button at the Right of your mobile below the Volume Buttons (Right If you Have your Device Screen Facing you, Left If you ahve the Back Battery Cover Facing You)
So Press that Button, you will see your display glow showing " UNLOCK " option in the middle, Press It.
It will get Unlock.
Also, after Unlocking, Before adding anything to Phone Memory (like contacts, messages,etc) make sure to update your Mobile FW/SW to the latest version out there (which is v06.05)
So, If you have a PC with internet connection, connect your Device with USB, and Use Nokia Software Updater (Or Nokia Ovi Suite, whatever you have got Installed In your PC) and Start Updating ASAP, Alot Of Bug Fixes have been Taken Place,
If Still Not Unlocked, RETURN YOUR DEVICE NOW, because your Device is Faulty.

Dear All,
We are facing one issue with locking and unlocking of entities
Locking of period from April to February (11 months) 1100 entities takes 40 seconds - We lock top parent and last period February
Unlocing top most parent for single month of February (Last locked period) takes 840 seconds
Java heap file parameter is set to optimum
Othe HFM application on same server does not give such problem
Further this happens on development server and on production everything is fine with the same application (It does not take such long time)
Environment is Windows 2003, HFM Version 9.3
Can anyone please guide on the same
Thanks
Payous999While I don't have a solution to this I can also vouch to the same odd behaviour.
In our Dev environment, lock / unlock are not too different in timing; however in production unlocking takes a significantly longer amount of time.
As our dev environment sees practically no activity, I would think that perhaps the issue has something app utilization? One way to test this I guess would be to restart the app over a weekend and do a quick test of lock / unlock time before users get into the system? -
Ihone 5s slide to unlock issues
Quite often, I cannot slide to unlock my phone, I have to reset it everytime.
the slider will move -1/8" and nothing else.... while this happens, the lock screen photo does not appear, either I get the blurry pinky/gray mess, or my lock screen photo
Sometimes I can slide to unlock, then when I get to the keypad, it is not the normal dark gray/pink circles, it is like the other - more pinky/gray blurrHey jaylaschmidt,
Thanks for the question. You can attempt to restore your backup, however keep in mind that this may restore the issue. The above resource is used as an isolation step to determine if an issue is software or hardware related. For information on what to do if the issue does not arise when in the default configuration, refer to the following section:
If the issue is now resolved, sync one type of content at a time back to the device. For example, if you had an issue playing music, add songs from iTunes and confirm they will play. If your contacts weren't loading successfully, add the contacts back. After each sync, test to see if the issue has returned.

This is a strange and very frustrating situation: I bought an AT&T iphone from someone, and she had it unlocked with AT&T, and I then activated it with Net10, completing the process as instructed with ATT (backup and restore in itunes, etc.). I then updated the apn by downloading a new apn at apnupdatetfdata.net10.com. Worked for about 24 hours, then 3G ceased to work, voice no problem. I've since (in the last two weeks) spent about 10 hours on the phone with Net10 tech, even had my issue elevated, and have updated the apn several times - at least 10, using both the above apn, and by going to an apn changer site and trying various apn profiles (ATT, Net10tf, net10att, net10iphone, etc), to no avail. Twice I was told that the phone is not completely unlocked, as I don't have a "network data" file in my settings, and "TFW" is not showing up in the status bar. It does show signal strength and 3G status, however.
I'm pretty confident the woman I bought it from did go through the unlocking process, she brought it right to her local dealer and they assisted her. Is it possible that it has not been completely unlocked? OR, does anyone have any other advice (besides ditch Net10)?
Thanks very much,

OK, now I think I understand.
Apple has made it hard for people to use MVNOs, by inserting patches in V6 updates, disabling access to cellular data network settings, thereby making it very difficult to rewrite the settings.
No, Apple has made it easy to use the phone on any supported network because the phone already has the correct settings stored in the firmware.
BUT, there seems to be a way to access these settings by inserting a T-Mobile sim, changing settings, then switching back to the Net10 or ST sim.
That was true before T-Mobile was a supported carrier. Now, not so much.
The thing I don't understand is that Apple sells unlocked phones now, so it doesn't seem like they'd do that to someone who just dropped big coin on a new iphone, only to find out they can't use it with the GSM carrier of their choice.
You can use it with the carrier of your choice. It's up to the carrier to support it, though. This particular problem is somewhat unique to the U.S. If you want to use a discount carrier, there are plenty of CDMA carriers to choose from that carry the iPhone now. Of course, you can't use an unlocked phone on a CDMA network, but CDMA is, with a very few exceptions, unique to the U.S. as well. The discount CDMA carriers are MVNOs as well, but because of the way CDMA works, and the fact that the phones for use on their network are made specifically for them, they don't have this problem.
The other thing I don't understand is that if NET10 and Straight Talk are supposedly buying data bundles from ATT and others, why can't everybody just play nice? Why does Apple want to do their own thing and be the bully in the sandbox?
Apple's not being a bully. Apple has designed the iPhone to be easy to use. If you choose to use an unsupported carrier, you're going to run into issues. It's not Apple's problem. I'm sure that Net10 could probably get themselves certified as compatible if they wanted to spend the necessary money and put the resources into it to do so. Of course, that would probably raise prices for consumers...
StraightTalk IS a supported carrier, but NOT for GSM service. There is a CDMA StraightTalk phone available now. StraightTalk no longer supports GSM iPhones on their service. If it works for you, great. If not, they'll tell you to buy one of their iPhones instead. -
I have an older iPod touch 16GB, serial number 9C8527J3203, and had lost it for an extended period of time, found it recently and when i try to unlock it there is the connect to iTunes screen that opens up. I have tried connecting it to my macbook pro and it says I must sync it up with the last computer it was updated on. That is where the issue is, I no longer have that computer. What can be done to fix this?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:

If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

I have a Factory Unlocked iPhone 4 16gb, that I have been using on T-Mobile.
I had the following issue on Saturday
I had about 60% left on my phone, I was texting when all the sudden my screen went completly white, then I tried the power button and it changed to black. And now I try to plug it into my computer it doesn't recognzie it. I have tried to get it into DFU mode by holding the power and home button for 10 seconds and releasing the power button then iTunes will recognize it.
When I plug it in this is what iTunes reads.
Name: iPhone
Capacity: n/a
Software Version: n/a
Serial Number: n/a
When I try to restore it I get error 1601, I have tried it on my mac, my friends mac, and my friends PC and nothing is a go.
It isn't jail broken, I am lost and condused with this beautiful paper weight right now.The fact that iTunes can't read the serial number is a very bad sign.
You take big risks when buying gray market phones. If you can't restore it using DFU mode, the only thing we can really suggest is to make an appointment at the genius bar and take it in for Apple to have a look at. -
Can somebody help me out? I went to another branch of bestbuy since its closer to my place and not to the branch where i purchased my gcu to resolve my issue. I havent gone to the to the retail store where I purchased the gamers club unlocked membership. I apparently got the wrong membership card since I got the gifting option instead of the subscription.
Last week I tried to trade in my sunset overdrive game but did not get the 10% discount because they said its not in the system. I showed them the receipt and said its weird that i havent gotten it. Its clear to me they dont have any idea how to activate it and even missed the detail that what they gave me was a gifting membership and not the subscription. That is why they cant fix the problem. Also, customer support did something with my membership making it worse, she apparently did an exchange to something I did not receive and now it reflects on your system. I asked a guy in their gaming department to look into my account to see if i was enrolled in the gcu and what he found was i purchased the gifting option and not the membership. Well, its not my fault that they gave me the wrong one.
I hope you can look into my account so next time i go to the retail store theyll know what to do. Thank you.Hi Ickerson,
While I certainly appreciate you signing up for Gamers Club Unlocked (GCU), I’m very sorry to hear that you may have run into issues with getting it properly attached to your My Best Buy account! This should be a pretty seamless signup experience, so it’s unfortunate to hear that you ran into issues both during your first visit, as well as when you returned to our store. I’m more than happy to review your recent purchases and advise as needed.
I was able to locate your purchase history using your email address on file for the forums and I can see what happened here. You are correct that the GCU gifting option was in fact rang up and not the individual membership. Regrettably, this isn’t something we can assist with on the forums, as GCU can only be signed up for in-store. When you get a chance, you’ll want to return to the store you visited who did the re-ring transaction and have them redo the transaction using the standard GCU membership SKU (3081375). You may wish to bring the physical GCU card up to Customer Service when you visit (there should be a card for the personal membership and one for the gifting option). I would also suggest asking for a manager if needed.
I certainly hope for a much more pleasant and effective experience upon your return. After this is all taken care of in-store, please feel free to reach out to me should you need any further assistance. You can contact me via private message by clicking the link in my signature.
Sincerely,
Brian|Senior Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

Gamers Club Unlocked - Issues with Activation
After multiple attempts in-store and over the phone and reading many forums with solutions I am stuck with a GCU card and can not get it activated. I've been told it's been activated and on my account but it has not been reflected in the checkout for my faux purchases. I can not view anywhere that says I am at GCU unlocked status but an email dating 1/10/15 says on Gamer's Club on it. Any and all help would be appreciated with this matter. Thank you!
Hello jjones04,
Welcome to the forums and thank you for posting. enuf is correct in stating that you'd have to return to the store to resolve the issues with your account. Unfortunately, if they aren't able to fix your account, then we'll need to exchange the card for the correct card. I'm sorry for the hassle and we are happy to have you in the program. Please make sure that the card doesn't show "Gifting" on it or on your receipt.

I called sprint on March 5th and requested to unlock my iPhone 5 since I will be going out of country in a few days. They told me that it is unlocked, but when I put a Metro PCS sim card in it to check if its unlocked, it gives me message that Sim card not valid; which means that the iphone is not unlocked. Now, I have already upgraded my plan and phone so I believe that they will not be able to help me out with this issue. I really need to get the phone unlocked soon. Who do y'all think can help me? Apple or Sprint? Or any other advise on this? PLEASE HELP!!
Doesn't unlock mean you can use it with any other carrier? What if I am not able to use it in my country? I have to make that sure before I go there, right? Otherwise I will have to buy another phone which will be waste of money when I come back to the US.

Gamers Club Unlocked Issues - HELP lol
I bought the X-Box One Bundle the night it came out 11/21/13. I am supposed to get 10% off new games and when trading in games.
I am so frustrated. I spoke with the store manager, they told me to call the reward zone member line. I've called 5 times and have had an open case since March.
No calls no emails, ridiculous. I think I was also entitled to a gift certificate etc.
In all case, the Bundle shows up on my receipt but the Gamers Club Unlocked doesn't.
I have the actual receipt (missing the line item but shows I got the bundle).
How do I get this fixed?
Thanks!Hello Rhenny,
Thank you for being a My Best Buy member, and thank you for purchasing your Xbox One from Best Buy! I'll be happy to review your purchase with you.
There was no gift certificate offer with the Unlocked Epic Gaming Bundle, but you would be entitled to 20% off all new game purchases and a 10% bonus value on game trade-ins at your local store with a My Best Buy Gamers Club Unlocked membership.
Based on your explanation of the sale, and confirmed by reviewing the receipt, there was no Unlocked membership sold to you back in November. This being the case, I'm afraid we would not be able to make that change to your account manually. Unlocked memberships can only be sold at stores.
I would like to review this with you further, and I will send you a private message shortly with additional information. To check your messages, while logged into the forum click on the envelope in the upper right corner.

How to contact Apple about a carrier unlocking issue?
I pre-ordered my iPhone 5 from the online Apple Store and received it about 2 weeks later. It uses AT&T. I moved on to another phone and would like to repurpose my phone for my son. I contacted AT&T and they said they could not unlock it because the phone is associated with another number. I have no idea what this number is since I bought this phone new (supposedly), but AT&T said that I need to contact Apple. I have been trying to find the right number to call.
Apple do not unlock iPhone, but Apple do sell unlocked iPhone for the full price.
Note: Only the carrier the iPhone is locked to can officially unlock iPhone and if you qualify.

CBHi Bajpai,
Can you able to login into IR and ID with the same user? If yes then you should be able to see it else you might dont have any lock objects. So check it out once again. Also make sure you check the correct tab because you have locks for both Repository and Directory.
If you want to test it open IR and then open any mapping or any object and go to edit mode and then you should be able to see it in the locks tab.
Regards,
