When you type MEPD in options - advanced - sim card menu .. what does it say beside network?

The person who owned the device prior tried to unlock it with a bad code and used up all the attempts. .. Your device is now hardlocked and needs to be reset via a DM3 machine which is only available in selected repair shops.

yup, try checking with your local repair shops. Wish you luck on this.

Since it states "blocked" it means Verizon has flagged the device as lost or stolen. Sorry.

Yeah, just like Carrier said, BLOCKED means lost or stolen, or that the customer hasn't paid their bill with the carrier so they've blocked it

Either way you're SOL because the only people that can remove it is the original carrier
