Also go ahead and try this:

Power on your phone (Models Z105, Z107v, Z500, Z500V, etc.......)

1- Enter code *7465625*28782# without a sim in the phone
2- Phone will display "Auto Subset Lock: Activated!"
3- Enter code *7465625*28638# without a sim again
3- Phone will display "Auto Network Lock: Activated!"
4- Now insert the sim and enjoy! Phone is Unlocked!

(NOTE: When you change sim to other operator repeat this process to unlock it for that operator also)

I found this in another thread. All credits for the solution to Morfeus of the FuriousTeam!

I myself haven't got a locked Z500 so i cannot try this. But other people confirmed this as working. I'd like to hear more results on this!

I also found a list of service codes. I guess you could use some of them to enter your unlock codes manually(that you read out with WinIMEI).

Check Versions of h/w s/w f/w:

*#1111# S/W Version
*#1234# Firmware Version
*#2222# H/W Version
*#8999*8376263# All Versions Together

Locks:
*#7465625# = Check Locks

sloper: Any progress? Could you better specify exactly what cable you are using(model nr) and anything else that could be of interest(phone info like firmware etc). With more info maybe me or someone else could give you further assistance.
 
@ refeer45 and all others here

I fear, that i have managed to totally lock a former unlocked SGH-Z500V :-(

I just followed the instructions given by refeer45 on this thread to unlock a Z500V by codes. But besides steps 1-4 i also entered the lock codes for SP-lock and CP-lock, because i thougth, that my Z500V was locked.. The result was, that - when i checked the lock-status with *#7465625# - the display shows, that Network, Subset, SP and CP are locked now. And if I tried to start the phone with sim, the display now shows, that the phone freezes and that i should call a service partner. I could not even enter my serial.

So, how can i reactivate my Z500V ? Is it possible by codes ? Refeer45, you posted a code #7465625*77*Code# to disables SP Lock, might this help and how do i get the "code" afer the *77* ?

Thanx in advance for any help !!!
 
i have a problem i installed the drivers correctly & the program detects the com but stops at the usb detecting & i am using the lg3g cable 100% working what could it be ?

Good solution the cable one. As for the solution with codes i've not tested it yet but as soon as a mobile apears i'll be appy to try.
 
Thanx Reefer for your splendid step by step guide!
Got this Z500V from a friend with network lock to keep.
Visited the local shop to unlock but they could not help me so I started searching through forums until I stumbled in here.
Total noob as I am with phones I managed to unlock it thanx to you guys.

btw; I used a little metal strap we use in the Netherlands to seal our garbage-bags. Shorted 2 & 3 with it.
 
hi i nead help my z500v cumes up that the phone is freeze sim unavailable can some one pleese help me
 
Hey,

I have heard that when using the unlocking tools/procedures it actually causes a fault in the phone. I have been told that certain unlocking methods for the Samsung Z500 cause the loud speaker to malfunction and ringtones discontinue to work. Is this true in this case? Has anyone tried and had this problem?
 
LG3G Usb-Com Flashing cable is working just fine on Z500-Z140-ZM60. Not any risk.

Enjoy.
 
s**t! the siemens cable is not suitable 4 that thing.. :P i have to try other way to short the pins :PP my mistake...
 
I also read this would happen,that you would loose the loudspeaker and the sound of the ringstones, as the program is for Z105 and not for Z500.
Please say something about this.
Thanks
 
Everyone: I strongly recommend to just read the codes from the phone and enter them manually(i.e. not use the unlock function unless the phone is in "phone freeze"). This is because of two reasons. The first one being using unlock may mess up your ringtones or other media files(this is not a big issue because the backup fixes that). And if you don't have a backup you could just flash new firmware and that would fix it. But the second thing is much more important. I read my phone again now even though it has been unlocked and working fine since i did the unlock procedure i noticed there still were 3 locks now when reading it. And so i entered those codes manually and now when checking "all locks" they are all Off!
 
The code trick is bunk.. Even if it would work it would not be a fully unlocked phone.
