Ok I unlocked an Lg8120 on 3G (No Problem)
Lady comes back one week later to say Mobile has re-locked again! Huh
Now senerio is this?
Have I got Idiot written on my head, a mobile that re-locks out networks Hmmm this is a new one on me.

Now I know most unlockers are very careful with tricks from customers, but this bites the bullet.

Heck I think I will mark all unlocked Mobiles secretly lol.....

Unless someones gonna tell me this is possible!

Any way just goes to show that the general public try all sorts, & this from a lady customer.

Not Just With Lg IT Can Also Happen To Other Makes
To Me Happend With Samsung V200 Which I Was Using My Self So Couldn't Blame Anyone
I Have Also Seen After Unlock Works For While And Relocked To All Including The Original Network

Had a bloke bring me a 8850 for screen repair, then next week bring me a 8890 insisting it was the same phone and wanted a new screen again. Pointed out the aerial and then he started playing billy wooden head. Customers eh!

I have same situation with one 8120 !
But when I tried to unlock it again the phone unlock, but if switch off it starts locked again .
I fixed the problem flashing the phone , full , without GDFS !

About some custommers tricks - I use Vygis , the program makes log of activity so I have all the IMEI's of phones previously unlocked in our shop !

So it is possible , but is better to keep record of phones IMEI.
