  • There should be an “X” before Network and the counter should show number above 0 (zero). If your counter doesn’t show an “X” or shows 0 (zero) this means your phone is hardlocked and it CAN’T BE unlocked by a code.
  • Obtain your 15-digit IMEI by dialing *#06#. Never get the IMEI from elsewhere, as it could be different from the actual IMEI.
