How to Unlock Netgear Nighthawk LTE Mobile Hotspot Router phone
"Detailed advice on how to unlock Netgear Nighthawk LTE Mobile Hotspot Router Phone with all instructions & guidelines"
The instructions given below are strictly meant for those who have bought a GENUINE FACTORY Netgear Nighthawk LTE Mobile Hotspot Router UNLOCK CODES service, which include an UNFREEZE code. If you have purchased a carrier unlock code (from you network provider), it will not have an UNFREEZE code. If by any chance you have FREEZED your phone, the unlock network code won't help it to unfreeze. The latter can only be reset.
Step 1 – Identify the LOCK LEVEL of your Netgear Nighthawk LTE Mobile Hotspot Router phone
If you have ordered unlock codes from us, you will receive every possible unlock code through email.
The unlock codes emailed to you will look something like this:
Unfreeze: 12345678 NCK: 12345678 SCK: 12345678 SPCK: 12345678
Most of the networks lock their Netgear Nighthawk LTE Mobile Hotspot Router handsets with the NCK lock. In that case, you should only need to use this code when following the input instructions (see step 2). However, some networks will have dual locks in place (whereby the NCK and another lock is enabled); or they can also have just an alternative lock level such as SCK or SPCK.
It is advisable to be 100% sure what is the lock level on your handset. To know this, you need to follow these instructions:
Enter the following code into your handset while it is switched ON and connected to its locked network. For Instance, if your handset is locked by an Orange Network, insert and Orange SIM CARD into it.
Once connected, enter this code: *#7465625#
A menu will be displayed that will resemble the following...
1. [xxx] Network lock
2. [xxx] Subset lock
3. [xxx] SP lock
(xxx = Value ON or OFF)
Only if the Network lock is displayed saying ON, only then will you need to use the NCK code with the instructions below. If you see the Subset lock value as ON then you will need the SCK code and if you see the SP lock value as ON you will need the SPCK code.
The unfreeze code we send you should only be needed if:
(a) You freeze your handset accidentally by entering incorrect codes multiple times or if you do not follow our unlock instructions accurately.
(b) Your handset displays the 'phone freeze' message whenever an alternative network SIM card is inserted into your phone before being unlocked.
(c) You see the 'return for service' message.
Once you know the correct lock level of your handset and the correct code required for input, you can continue...
NB: If your handset does not accept the code to locate your lock level, straight away move to step 2 of this guide.
Step 2: Input Instructions
1 - Switch ON your handset with an unaccepted SIM Card,
2 - Phone will ask for "Password",
3 - You can now enter the Unlock Code we send to you.
OR (if your phone shows "Insert Correct SIM Card")
1 - Switch ON your phone with a not Accepted SIM Card,
2 - Compose: #0111*CODE#
OR
1 - Switch ON your phone with an unaccepted SIM Card,
2 - The Phone will then ask for the Code or Password
3 - You can now enter the Unlock Code we sent to you.
Step 3: Troubleshooting
If your handset freezes for any reason and displays the 'Phone Freeze' or 'Return for Service' message, you will need to use the unfreeze code that was issued with your unlock codes.
Below are a set of instructions for entering the unfreeze code into different models of Netgear Nighthawk LTE Mobile Hotspot Router handsets.
Choose the handset instructions closest to your own model if it is not directly available. (i.e. if you have a Netgear Nighthawk LTE Mobile Hotspot Router i900, consider using the Netgear Nighthawk LTE Mobile Hotspot Router F480 unfreeze instructions).
NB: Unfreeze instructions are given as an added bonus to your unlock service. This is not the service you purchased and therefore it is provided free of charge.
Reasons for "Phone Freeze"
1. Inputting the unfreeze code instead of the unlock code into your handset.
2. Following the incorrect input procedure
3. Handset automatically displaying "Phone Freeze" when an unaccepted SIM card is inserted into the handset. However, when an accepted SIM card is inserted, the handset works fine.
