[Q] Droid 3 hardlocked?

Hi, im in the uk and i just received my brand new droid 3 global phone today and its great! Apart from the fact it is locked to verizon usa ..
But to my aid i was given 2 unlock codes and i tried them both but they didnt work, so i tried them a couple of times and now my phone says that i have to contact the service provider (which is verizon). So i contacted verizon and they said that i had to be in the us and had to have been a customer for 6months for them to unlock it, so they wern't much help.
So i went to my network here on the uk, and they pointed me here.
I want to use my giffgaff sim (uk network) on my phone so was wondering that is there any way I can unlock this phone? Assuming it is hardlocked, is it possible for me to send it to a phone shop or is it too new for them to unlock it as of yet? Is there any alternative to unlocking it using the two codes i have got?

Hiya,
Have a look at this thread for 3rd party options to unlock your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172521
I'm in the UK too, but had my phone unlocked in the US prior to shipping - at least I can confirm that an unlocked droid 3 will work in the UK (on vodafone in my case).
You mentioned you have 2 unlock codes - from where?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply,
I got them codes from the man who sold me the phone. I thaught that they may be dodgy code so purchased an unlock code from ebay, and told the seller that if it was them two codes that i had, then to give me a refund coz they didn't work. He gave me a refund coz he got the same codes.
I'll check your link out.
Thanks,

Hi again thingonaspring,
Ive checked you link and they talk about unlock codes,
I don't think I have anymore tries left with using an unlock code.
Do you think i can unlock the phone with a cable by sending it to a shop in the uk?
Thanks,

You mean your droid is now frozen?

What do you mean by frozen? It might be, can it not be unlocked?

Well, someone entered the wrong code 3x on a samsung star and it was "sim freeze" or "phone freeze" I think it's called.. or frozen. It says to contact your provider

Yeah, i think i might have frozen my phone by entering the wrong code. What do you think i should do? Send it to a phone shop to be unlocked? Is it even possible to unlock with cables and an unlocking kit?

Can anyone help?

Doesn't matter, found the answer. Sending it to a phone shop.
Thanks guys

What was the answer? For those who end up with the same problem.

hello, may i ask you where you got the Droid 3 from? Is the 3G fully working as well when it came unlocked?

Hello
I apologize if my English is not good, but try to explain my problem
A few days ago I buy a Motorola Droid 3 on Ebay.
my seller said that Verizon is not blocked.
I received a phone but it asks for unlock code.
I know it's wrong that I bought on Ebay, but in Europe you can not found this, end I want this item and lot.
in this case how to get unlock code?
and I tried ebay, but all gave me the same code 72555264
last option would be to find someone who is subscribed to Verizon, and ask the code
If anyone is willing pay $ 50

Seem scary to me as I am having mine sent to me a few day. Hopefully you can get it unlocked very soon. Let me know who can do it for you.

no one wants to help me

There has been people saying that Verizon blocked SIM unlock, or at least changed the code with a recent update. You'll have to try one of those Unlocking Sim cards

PM your email address, I may help you get the unlock code from Verizon.

Let us now if you find a solution.

Not sure, but I think you need to have the phone active on a verizon account when you get the unlock code, so it will work on your phone. The line you use to get the code will need to be in good standing for approximately six months before they'll hand over the code, just fyi.

You'll need to find someone who has a line on Verizon who is willing to help you. Otherwise, you're out of luck.

I know
but I hope that in a later, someone will help me, and not free

Hi again! Finally I found someone, Verizon subscribed. He gave to them all the details of the phone and they send the unlock code. But, surprise! It s not work!! What to do now! It s possible something like this ?? There are two kind of codes or other things that I dont know?? Please, if you know some other informations...help me!

The phone may need to be activated on that line because the phone needs to communicate with Verizon using the unlock code to prompt them to actually unlock it on their end. I recently unlocked one of my T-Mobile phones which I gave to a family member to use on AT&T, and this was the case. It's just another step they can perform over the phone using your info. If you can skype or Google Talk with your friend while they call Verizon, they can tell him any steps he must take with the phone to activate it on his line, then he'll message/tell you what to do. Then once activated, enter the unlock code and it should work. After it is successfully unlocked, he can go ahead and change back to his phone on his account by activating it the same way.
Kinda sucks to have to do this, but I think that is your best bet.

I tried, but without any result. It seems that my friend gave me not the correct code, and now no longer respond. in this case I'll donate it, because it not stand to see him. but maybe there is someone enthusiastic to help.

The only alternative is to use TurboSim. It is cheap, but has some limitations.

Atrix HD sim unlock

please help me. I wont sim unlock for atrix HD and please help me.

I have no information on sim unlocks and haven't seen any either. If I find stuff out I will let you know.
EDIT: http://unlockatt.com/motorola-atrix-hd-unlock-code.html
Charging for it... but there one is.

Isn't there another way to do it using RSD Lite or some other Motorola utility? I remember I have done it before on another Motorola phone and didn't have to pay anyone for it.

Has anyone had luck with sim unlocking of Atrix HD using cellunlocker site?

Insert your locked SIM card into the phone and restart the phone. You will be prompted to enter the unlock code once the phone reboots.
Hope that helps. I did it today using a code I got from www.cellunlocker.net
It took less than 24 hrs.

Hello Atrix hd forum.
I unlocked mine (bell version, Canadian) last night for $20. Took less than 10 minutes.
A little disappointed as mine was advertised as unlocked already when i bought it, but wasn't. No big deal.
Really like this thing do far.

I bought it unlocked. AT&T update locked it!
Hey there everyone!
I bought my Atrix HD unlocked from eBay, it all worked fine until yesterday a message from AT&T came to my phone saying there was an update. installed it and now my phone is locked!
I spoke on the phone to a customer service representative and he said that the contract Motorola has with AT&T doesn't allow them to give unlock codes (?) and that I should try calling in a month or two.
Is there anything else I could try before buying an unlock code online?? Please help

Interesting question!
Anyone here with the same problem?
Can you unlock the phone twice with 2 different codes?

You will get the unlock option by restarting your phone after putting in a Sim card other than the original carrier Sim.

I have the same question as OP. I am about to order a MotoX and will be traveling in 1 month.
Who is RipCo?

For Motorola are more services available,there is a cheaper service that does not work for all phones,but tere is a service for not found phones ,which even if is a bit more expensive ( around 12$) should unlcok your phone

Let me see if I understood correctly, you bought your Moto X from motorola's website (in the Design Yours section), customized your phone and at the end you choosed Carrier -> ATT -> No Contract (that's 499$) and you got it to work in your country?

So you just called them and asked them for the code, didn't you?
What exactly did you say? I'm in the same situation and I'm about to give them a call, so I have to be prepared
Thanks a lot!

Just got myself an AT&T Moto X. I am in India right now and dont see any option to e-mail the guys at AT&T. For some reason they want me to register. Can anyone help me out with this? I need to SIM unlock the phone. How do I reach AT&T via e-mail?

This is the AT&T International (+1 916 843 4685) phone number.Can call that 1-2 times if you can and try to convince you to give you a code,but lately seems they do not give codes unless you have or had a contract with them and use the form from their website to request for it. If that is not working can just buy an unlock code should be around 12$

XT1064 Consumer Cellular Can't sim unlock IMIED not found

Hi,
I bought a consumer cellular Moto G 2014 from Sears, but when i try the unlocking services on ebay they tell me they can't find the IMEID in their database? Does anyone know if these can be unlocked?
Thanks.

Weird because I got the same phone (sears deal) and bought an unlock code from eBay from a UK seller that advertised AT&T unlock etc.
They found my IMEI just fine and got my unlock code within an hour of purchase. I'm using the phone in Canada (Rogers) currently.

I used lineoutcomms. I too have an XT1064 from the Sears deal. Haven't tested the unlock code I received yet as I don't have a compatible SIM card from another carrier at the moment, but he was able to provide me with one based on my IMEI. Cost was $2.68.

Are you sure the CC phones are even locked? How can you tell? I use Consumer Cellular, but I bought my phone from best buy. I never even thought about their phones being locked.

I bought 2 xt1064s from sears a month apart. Was able to unlock the first one off of ebay with no problem. Finally wanted to unlock the second one just recently and every seller i try says imei cannot be found. What gives? The batches shouldn't be too far apart. Is my only option to sign up with consumer cellular, wait out their time frame, and then request a code?

My CC phone came from Sears and yes they are locked. My question is, why go thru an EBay seller to do it? Maybe I'm missing something, but I just went on the Motorola webpage got my unlock code and unlocked it.
