I have the Z3 from Tmo usa. I also have the unlock code i paid for. when I insert foreign sim, it does not prompt for unlock code, instead directing me to use the unlocking app on the phone provided by tmobile. How can I get this thing to ask for the code.

Boom. Finally worked this morning for me.
Was your phone active for more than 45 days on T-Mobile?
How did you unlock it, please provide more info.
What info was it asking for, to get the device unlocked?
Was your device with BAD or Clear IMEI?

Thanks in advance!

1. Yes
2. Used the unlock app. Interestingly, after the permanent unlock, the app deletes itself (at least the icon)
3. None, it verifies your eligibility with T-Mobile servers
4. Clear IMEI, valid account, paid full price for the phone
