LGA175a Failed Unlock - GSM-Forum

The box shows that it connected properly and says it is unlocked, however the phone will not accept any sim cards from other companies. Essentially, nothing changed. Also, as i dont have the original sim card, i cannot use the input code method.

Update - I finally got it to work. Had to use the "Repair EEP" and then restored the original IMEI number and its working fine.
