So to summarize:
- If you don't get locked/unlocked message after the 180 days, try a simple restart
- If you get unlock failed / contact carrier message, first try turning off airplane mode, if that doesn't work, you can try factory reset
Thanks to everyone who shares their experience in this thread, this has been super helpful to resolve this unlock issue without having to talk to CS since somehow they give not so helpful answers for issues like this and make things more complicated than it needs to be
12/16 Just received notice -- "Carrier lock removed. This device can now be used on any network."
Mine is shown as Unavailable on carrier-locked devices. I like to know if it can be enabled after the network-unlock.(for flashing custom ROM)
