Unblock your PUK problem, yes, unlock your phone, no

Too much trouble? I called my service provider and they sent a new phone, which I had the next day. There isn't anything I could have done that would have been less trouble.

My phone (E105) at this point locked up. Message on phone at start up said (PHONE LOCKED RETURN FOR SERVICE). I fixed it by booting up with providers sim card and at (PHONE LOCKED RETURN FOR SERVICE) message type *#9998*3323#. A message will pop up telling you to press exit, so hit the right softkey. Choose "malloc fail". Your phone will reboot and your SIM will work. When it re-boots reset memory (SIMLOCK`a removing!!!) type * 2 7 6 7 * 3 8 5 5 # Phone re-boots. At the SIM code password prompt type 00000000, that is 8 zeroes.

You may have to try this more than one time-this worked on my E105 phone.

Sorry, but that only applies to certain phones. The x426 no longer has this "error" menu after rev 1.6 of the firmware. That is why it is such a problem for us when this occurs. The best way to solve the problem after 1.6 is to either unlock via cable or re-flash the firmware.

does that imei softwear work for the x426? to unlock my phone?

yes. but please do us a favor and remove the two extra postings of your question above. It posted the same thing 3 times. I beleive that is overkill

i dont know how to remove them and it was a accident

I figured, it happens. There should be a "delete this post" option to check off when you go to the edit page.

all better... will the cable unlock my phone to different carriers + get rid of the "phone locked return for service" error? and will i have to flash the rom to get rid of it? or will AT&T unlock the phone from the "locked" error for free?

They will charge $15 for the warranty exchange program. The cable will allow you to unlock services and remove that error message. You can try Cerebros to re-write your IMEi, which resets the phone at the same time (should fix your problem) or you may have to reflash teh firmware.

well they gave me a LG G 4015 because the x426 is discontinued. i just did the warrenty switch in store and since the 4015 is the new take over model for the x426 thats what they gave me. but i have the 4015 to my mom and took her x426 lol but i should get the data cable today what program should i use? and how do i go about doing it

i dont get how to use your softwear... could you help me im a newbie at this stuff

i always get failed...... and it always says comport1 even after i changed the com number.... i dunno what to do. it says prolific whatever com5 so i changed the barcode thing to com5. and when i go to write IMEI it says input key wrong 8 zeros right is defualt pass? and when i go to the RD IMEI feature it always says failed same with unlock

Make sure you know what com port your cable actually attatches through. Whatever com you select the program always says com1. I selected com2, and mine worked fine. I don't know, my cable is on com 1 so that could be why com1 works for me
