What is mean? Phone is blocked for steal and I cannot using more? Or phone is blocked for some operator network and I can unblocking with special code or something...?

Sorry my English not good, but I hope You understand me.

@ojars

That's what it seems like, or if you attempted to unlock the phone but you enter the wrong unlock pin code.

Hi ojars,

Welcome to the community,

This seems like a network locked device, have you tried contacting the network to obtain a network unlock code?

The phone you purchased appears to be locked to a specific network provider so you will have to contact that network provider in order to get an unlock code, only then will you be able to use the phone with another network provider.
If you aren't aware of which network provider it is locked to you should probably contact the person your purchased the phone from.
