respect for writing the idiot proof to unlocking this heap of junk!

but the tech guys at Virgin have some sneaky way of relocking it after factory reset!

If anyone gets this sorted please post!

NOBODY SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS!

[DaveC]

I doubt if Virgin have a 'sneaky way' of relocking the phone. They have no way of knowing that you have unlocked it.

The method above reminds me of a temporary unlock that used to be around for some NEC phones.

Anyhow, once you have spent a few pounds Virgin will unlock your phone for free. Have you tried asking them?

[jane1967]

Has there been any reported problems using this method i only just had the phone its locked to orange and i do use a few networks so i would like my LG to be flexible but do not want to damage my phone.

thanks

Does anyone know if this code works on a PCS phone (a phone which doesn't use a sim card)? please let me know if you could, that would be great!

[ltjlogic]

I wish this worked for the MG800c... I have been trying for so long to unlock this and I tried to reset the settings, but nothing..

Anyone know of anything else?

Thanks!

[seylectric]

Just tried this three times on a Virgin locked phone (KG800) I bought today, it definately didn't work for me.

[csc2ya]

Same here....KG800...bought on virgin. All it did was a factory reset. Didn't remove the service provider lock at all.

[debbee]

Just got a chocolate today :D
Tried this code and it worked a treat!!
It was originally set on virgin but now takes my T-mobile sim.
Cheers!!!

[katie_21]

I got the LG chocolate yesterday on Virgin but this code doesn't work when i try to put my O2 sim in the phone ?!!

Any ideas as what i'm best doing?
i'm going to Australia on Monday for a year & need it unlocked asap so that i can buy an Ozzy sim to put it in.

[debbee]

FAO Katie_21!
Make sure your doing it right, a few people turn phone of and stuff when they arnt ment to. I noticed some people went to unlock istead of restore factory settings. Tey it again & make sure u do it word4word. It sould work, mine's was virgin, now t-mobile so it does work. bought from phones4u if that makes any differance.

[izsushant]

Out of interest, if once you unlock the phone which was originally on Virgin, will they be able to lock it again even if you don't put in a virgin sim card?

[doms]

As of yet mine is still unlocked and taking any sim card i put in it.

[debbee]

Mines still unlocked and iv had my virgin sim in & out load of times (o2 4 home/ virgin 4 work) :)

[ALYNA]

please someone help me to unlock my lg kg 800
i try with 2945#*# and didn't work

[warped]

Hi there, just bought an lg u380 today, wondering if there's any possibility of unlocking it to other networks?

I'm in ireland and this phone is on the irish 3 network, will this affect the code in any way ?

I have tried the 2945#*# a number of times so it definitely isn't working for me

I'd appreciate any feedback at all, thank you !

[supersayan]

if we unlock it then we lose all of our contacts;

[openthedoors]

Hi peeps new to this forum but looks interesting.

With regards to unlocking the KG800 using the 2945... method I have had no success.

Have read all the posts about this and tried several times but nothing works.

The phone was found but the sim had been removed (not by me). It is locked to the "fruit" network (not sure if we are allowed to say the colour or name the network in full). Have put similar sim in so phone works.

I currently use another network and would like to keep/use my original sim.

regards to all

[arcbabe]

i have tried this as my phone was locked to tesco and when i insert an o2 sim it just keeps saying insert correct sim please help

[EastgateUnlocking]

Have you tried any other networks in your phone? Have you tried another 02 sim card in your mobile?

Feel free to contact me 07895172138

[1949]

Have tried as specific instructions on virgin mobile but phone still locked. I do however switch the phone off to insert the new (O2) card, then switch it on again. Is this wrong?

[sarah6281]

Tried this but no joy on Tesco mobiles !!!! Any Ideas

[comicmankev]

My chocolate is locked to Orange and this does not work. It does the reset and powers off (does not restart until powered on). Have tried several times with SIMS from o2, BT, Voda, and 3. When powered on with any SIM it says 'Insert correct SIM card' with 2 options at the bottom for 'SOS' and 'unlock'. If you choose unlock it goes to 'SIMS locks' then 'Deactivate' then 'Enter NCK'. This is exactly how it comes up on the phone. I have tried various alternative methods of the above, none of which seem to work.

[Little-Faye-x]

Heya. I Tried The 2945#*# But it comes up with that it needs a NCK code. can somebody tell me what it is please!!

[comicmankev]

I'm pretty sure that there is no fix for us out there that this unlocking doesnt work for. It appears the posters that post have it working, therefore they don't need any other ways! And for us that it doesnt work, back to the clip!

[yellowbusridah]

idk.. i tried it.
is it bcuz my phone isnt virgin or w/e?
i have a verizon and it says i can only make emergency calls from special numbers and 911 lol
anything i can do?

[Chookie]

hmmmm...

well i spent 10 pounds on unlocking my phone...

WOOOO

laters

[shadowrm]

ok i have an lg phone it slides up and is touch tone i think it is a chocolate i dont know but wat i need is to find out how to get it unlock i turn on the phone and it tells me i need a security code b4 it even gets to the home page can u tell me how to get this off

[Waitec]

2945#*# will only reset to factory settings post branding. Those peeps that have found it works were probably on Virgin, and afterwards have used a T-Mobile SIM. These networks in many cases can be used without any resetting on the same phone as T-Mobile provide the network service for all Virgin customers!

If any body has had it work for other networks, i apologise and stand corrected.

[hazza455]

I have a LG kg800 and i was wondering if this trick works if the phone is locked to telstra in australia??

[reiche728]

Hey, i have the at&t plan but the LG chocolate that im going to get is locked to verizon wireless will this technique work for me? Also what if you don't have a sim card for the carrier that the phone is locked to? Thanks so much! ;)

[Bloody_albozz]

[arandomer]

Just got a chocolate today :D
Tried this code and it worked a treat!!
It was originally set on virgin but now takes my T-mobile sim.
Cheers!!!

Virgin phones don't need to be unlocked to work on T-mobile:) all my virgin phones,have always worked on T without unlock.

[coolsociety]

OK this has gone on for quite some time and needs to be clarified once and for all. First off, the "100%" claim in the title needs to be altered as the "2945" solution does not work with every Choc. I have bought and sold hundreds of these and for some I have found that the clip works, but strangely not the 2945 code, and on other I have found that the code works but not the clip.

The only ones I have ever unlocked with the code have been on the Orange network so that's the Virgin/T-Mobile theory out of the window. It doesn't take a genius to work out then that there are at least two different locking methods for this phone, one of which requires the clip and the other which requires the code to unlock them. Seems to be the earlier ones that unlock with the code.

However I have come across a few that have asked for the 4-digit security code even with the correct original (Orange) sim card enclosed, no idea why this should be but "0000" didn't work with these. So what did I do? Returned them from where I got them for replacement of course!

[TickledPink]

This worked great. Now got it working on the Vodafone sim from my J700. Thanks.

I don't suppose that it's as easy as this to unlock a D900?

[digg1-2806]

just tried to unlock 2 x lg800 1 worked the other didnt.also can somebody explain this clip that i have heard about on other posts.thanks.

[robo_leeds]
