Hello!
Well, I am really pissed by now... after 3 weeks waiting, finally I received a turbosim clone, that according a research to my best, it could be the more probably such class device to be able to allow the locked d3 to connect at least... but NO luck... :-(
As reference to help other around here... the device was:
SMARTPHONE Sim Unlock Card and could check info for ebay item Item number: 270690911540.
I bought this, since after a long research, seems that in case of Droid 2+turbosim success, the key feature was that the sim must be the more recent possible (2011) and with Moto SidKick model losted, since this appears to be the key for success.
Well, by now, the "turbosim" seems that is recognized since the phone after boot with my local network sim installed with turosim stick to it, dont asks for Unlock Network code, BUT also do not reognize my network and do not allow clas none any kind of connection except for dial 911/112 numbers.
At this point I wonder if this is due that the phone is in Subsidy mode after the initial failed attempts to unlock with codes of internet sellers (4 diferent sellers, all have the same 2 codes, and also both fails...).
So by now without be in USA and without be a Verizon Customer, seems that I really pissed...
By now, I would like too share my bad result in order to save some money to another friend around here that may be wonder about try this turbosim option...
As a last hope, I by now wonder if I may be somewhat better luck, if I try to flash the XT883 rom, so I wonder and ask if may be some help/ inof about:
1) Flashing the XT883, may be possible that reset the SUDSIDY mode status, so, may be possible to the turbosim to recognize my local networks and allow calls?connections?...
2) May be posible that the radio part of the XT883 flash could help with the point 1 or with try again the unlock codes?
3) Is the chinese Xt883 rom still in study/hacking process for some kind developer(s) around her that may have a help with the hard locked D3?
4) May be possible that flashing some kind of rom from motorola, may be possible that the unlock could be made with the codes available (that seems that are the Moto original ones, but that after a phone is activated in Verizon network, ?they could be changed by verizon system OTA)...
Thanks for any help and best regards!
Why mess with a turbosim when you can unlock the phone with 10$ ?
Hi Solutor!
Thanks for reply... well, in fact, turbosim was my last approach, since middle september, I pass the proccess of bought unlock codes from 4 different sellers on internet, and 2 of them sold me the same 2 codes, and both codes fails, and in fact put my phone in Subsidy mode... the other 2 sellers after I send the codes and IMEI of my phone in order that they check if they may have a different code, both reply me that they have also the same 2 codes that previously fails... this point was reached by october begins... so I look for an option and found about Turbosim partial success on Droid 2 forums, so try to research and try by bought one that may seems the more possible for droid 3... but no luck....
By now, as I said, my phone is still Locked + in Subsidy mode, and by now I wonders if a Radio section flashing may help in my case, with unlock (not every probably...) or at least to make the turbosim that I already have may be recognized my network... (not sure if could be a improve in some way...)
May You have knowledge of a unlock code provider, that may be recently succesfull in unlock a Droid 3, that was activated on verizon, and that after that, the D3 was succesfully unlocked meanwhile is on an outside USA verizon network?... if so, I am very glad if You could give some suggestion.
Anyway, over all, thanks again for take time to reply, and best regards to all around here too.

Ok, I understand.
I've unlocked w/o any problem my Droid 3 (in Italy)
http://www.motorola-unlocking.com/unlock_Motorola_Droid-3.html
and (few hours ago) a Droid 2 global, here
http://www.theunlockshack.com/
In the D2g case I used a different provider because the former (for unknown reasons) asks 10$ for D3 and 20$ for D2g
The sim I used was a Vodafone Italy one, in both cases, I don't know if that matters, but given the relation between Verizon and Vodafone I decided that a vodafone sim was better than another.
P.S. I have zero experience with turbosims so I can't help with it, sorry.

Well if you read them you would know you only have two choices...
First call Dell and or TMobile and see if they'll be nice enough to give you the code
Secondly pay the $80 for the code
Those are your only 2 options
I really worked well.

i contacted tmobile and told them i was going out of the country on business and needed an unlock to be able to drop diffent sim due to cost. With in one day they sent an email with the unlock
Actually, there are four options.
1. Send email to [email protected] with IMEI number which for me yielded a big fat:
Dear Customer,
The below device is a retail piece. Please contact carrier with proof of payment in order to procure the code also do let the carriers know that the below device is a retail piece.
Mobility Unlock code Team
2. Call T-Mobile and plead your case, which yielded me heartburn.
3. Use a 3rd party chip/service and pay money.
4. Call Dell's mobility team toll free number (can be found on this forum or on Dell.com) and plead your case, which yielded me a code.

Tried that unlocker, waited 24 hours, got this:
Dear Customer
Thank you for you recent order. Please find your updated order details below.
Unlock Status:
We have been unable to obtain an unlock code for your phone using the imei number supplied. Although this model is generally un-lockable, there are instances where codes cannot be generated. This is due to unique phone variables and cannot be predicted in our preliminary report.
I called Dell and waited for day. They gave me unlock code on the phone within 5 minutes. No sweat. Make sure you're still with TMO before unlocking. That's it.
I've finally got my Dell Streak 7 Unlock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, after three long frustrating months of head aces, and many many hours on the phone chewing out T-mobile and Dell, fist off id like to say if you buy a Dell streak 7 and want it unlock PLEASE PLEASE buy it from Dell- NOT T-mobile, this will save you and the reps at T-mobile lots of time, anyhow here is what i had to deal with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After getting my Dell Streak 7, i ran Gingerbreak.apk, great root tool, rooting in a few clicks right from Tablet.... then i started to call around about the Sim Unlock code......only to find out the if you bought it stright threw Dell they would unlock in in less then 24 hours.......but if you bought it threw Tmobile OMG your in for a treat......
I had to sign up for a pre-paid plane, plane had to be active for two months, after which you had to have $10 dollar credit on your account, about 40 bucks what i had in it total not to to bad, when there are places asking about 60-90 bucks to unlock it, but could have dealt with not having to call Tmoble every day to find all this out in the first month, so now a month in trying to get the code im on my way closer to unlocking it.. i wait my 60 more days with the proper limitations that they said to have the tablet unlock ( account for 60 days and $10 on account)......... when my 60 days was up i was calling right back to get the unlock code.......
This was my trouble for three day about 4 hours each day on the phone with T-mobile, T-mobile was saying that Dell has the Code, and Dell was saying T-mobile does, well we all know that T-mobile has it!! its a SIM Lock its there SIM wtf....... so so so mad......grrrrrr... days of this...... i called and called and called demanding the Code, Saying someone put it on there i want it off !!!!
If not your taking this Tablet back and im buying one from dell, they even came to a point trying to tell me that it cant be *unlock* that they dont have the software to unlock it, that i would have to buy a internal tablet, i was like wtf...... thats a bunch of BULL SH*T......
so i called again.......... most the responces back are threw emails saying something ( some kid of excuse ) on why they wont give you your unlock code...... so fillany getting Dell and T-mobile to do a conferance call and each of them saying they had the code to each other, and me causing one big azz stink.... saying they either taking the Tmobile tab back and sending a unlocked dell not stamped with the t-mobile logo, or im calling a Lawyer yes i say it..........Lawyer ;-p
and Bam
my unlock Code was sent in less then 24 hours in the 6th email with my code....... the 5 email before were some excuse why they woulnt give me my code......
if you have T-mobile i feel for you, they have the worst customer support ever.......
all but one Girl that i got, her name was Kris, she helped out alot in the end........
thank you bunches
Kris.........
so if you have account with them for 60 and its prepaid, you can get it unlocked
ive even GingerBroke (rooted it) with Gingerbreak.apk
and ive NVFlashed android 3.2 on to it as well, running 3G from T-mobile.... guess the 3.2 doesn't have 4G yet on the ROM but all works g..... rumor has it its Dells coming out with 3.2 update Oct.7th so we will see, im not getting my panties in a bunch though.....
runs great i love the 3.2 on it, it runs so much better
however i have Boost Mobile, and i threw my Boost SIM in it and it was for the unlock code, put that in it was good, it unlock, then i ran the code on the Sim threw the settings and it was good, got me into the PUK code which at the time i didnt have and it locked up my boost sim
but now i have the boost sim unlock and still nothing working on the tablet.......
soon to try out a rebel sim and see if that works or maybe even go with ATT gophone plan....... 50 buck unlimited..... and it will work on ATT
if anyone has any questions about the DELL STREAK 7 and needs some help hit me up i would be glade to share what i have learned in the past few months..........
I purchased multiple SIMs through T-Mobile (whiile trouble shooting). How can I find out if the last SIM is locked (or not)?
If I am willing to buy a new SIM from AT&T ($12) do I care if I have an unlock code?

Is this a 'senior moment'? Call Dell? Didn't you red my post, I'm (sorrowfully) with T-Mobile.
I get it; the Streak is locked. I've inserted 3 T-Mobile SIMs and never been asked for an unlock code. (I'd ask where to put an unlock code, but I doubt the answer would something physically possible)
Your first question was about the sim itself and second question was about the device itself correct?
If you know for a fact your device is either unlocked or willing to accept that carrier, just pop the sim in and see what happens.
If it's unlocked it might work, but it depends on how the carrier sets up sims for tabs and phones (they make it intentionally complicated)
If the device accepts the sim but the sim is locked there's bound to be an input box somewhere to enter the PUK off the larger sim card it came from.
Noone really ever bothers with sim locking though as it's not really relevent/useful (to my knowledge), it's mainly device locking.
If the s7 is locked a tmo sim wouldnt prompt for an unlock code though as it's either locked to tmo or not locked at all.
If you need to unlock the device either ask tmo or dell like previously mentioned.

Well first of putting a T-Mobile SIM card in a T-Mobile device like the Streak7 will not cause the Unlock screen to come up , because it is a native SIM card ... To get the unlock window to come up you have to put in a foreign SIM card .. If this is a TMO S7 Most likely it is locked ...

Yeah , what he said ... did not see this post before I posted ...
If I want to root my 4G, does it matter if it's locked or unlocked? I am currently buying a month at a time, and plan to continue doing so for the near future at least. But want to make sure I don't do something that invalidates my month halfway through.
I presume if I were to root it would then be possible to delete the Dell Stage software? Any of the other add-ons I can get rid of - or perhaps more importantly ones I need to make sure to keep?

Does not matter, Locked or Unlocked , you can still root .... Sounds like what you want to do , you may investigate a custom ROM that has that stuff already removed ...

'ey forgive me I'm a noob.
Seriously, this is an old device and there's not one available freeware method of obtaining the lock-code? I have two of 'em, purchased to resell.
Both are tmobile devices right now, I'm wanting to unlock them for any AT&T sim card. I'm currently ordering chargers for them, so I'm not too clear on which ROM they're operating on currently, I just know they're locked to Tmobile because they guy who sold them to me.
Options I've seen are to use dell or tmobile support-neither will work this isn't a retail piece, it was purchased from ebay, ebay seller doesn't know the original owner, no clue where any of that info is.
I don't want to pay for the fee, kinda negates the purpose of my purchase.
I've unlocked other tmobile devices via ROM's, managed to get a select few on the proper networks with AT&T...
Is there any option available for these two tablets?
I'd prefer full functionality (3g 4g)but if the only available means are limited, then so be it.
Heck, is there a way for me to just find my own unlock code in the device once I manage to get the chargers?
I'm just surprised this is such an old device, there's not a simple/available free solution to this????
gimmie a compass, I already have a bit of a map... (My search results have all popped up with forums from last april or so, and an abundance of them to the point I don't have time to dedicate crawling through them all. :/)
Okay, I'm a total newbster / newbsterino and probably even suggesting something that is frowned upon.... maybe LOL, but here's what I was thinking...
There is currently a list of IMEI and unlock codes available but it's a very short list. Couldn't you "Temporarily and for testing purposes only" change your IMEI number on your DS7 to one on the list and use the code on the list to unlock, then rewrite your IMEI to your original one. Just a thought if that may work.
sim card error
i really appreciate your work helping and providing the android updates that dell wont even do.
i installed honey and it kept turning off.( i think i found the repair)
so
i upgraded to cm10.1 (and am very happy with it/ i don't want to go back)
the cm 10.1 isn't finding my sim card.
sim toolkit will not update or find the card (all the number about size are zero and when i insert and remove their is no "signal" that its noticed)
i will be happy if i have to revert to honey3.2 but i want to keep jellybean!
thank you for reading.
i BEEN TRYING TO UNLOCK MY DROID 3 BY CODE AND IT HAS BEEN IMPOSSIBLE. I AM OUTSIDE THE USE AND EVEN WHEN I INPUT THE CODE THAT VERIZON GAVE ME I HAVE NO SUCCESS. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PHONE HAS TO BE ACTIVATED ON VERIZON FOR IT TO UNLOCK. IS IT TRUE. IS THERE ANOTHER WAY TO UNLOCK IT.
I HAVE RDS LITE I FLASH MY PHONE TO THE ORIGINAL VERIZON AGAIN BUT IT DID NOT WORK. HELP PLEASE
1) Drop the caps. It's against the rules and is downright annoying.
2) Maybe can you call Verizon and see if they can manually program it, even if it is a dead number? Or have you even tried calling tech support?

Maybe U have wrong code. I have Droid 3 from Verizon. I live in Poland and I don't have a problem to unlock and using in 3G with my polish simcard. And I didn't have to activate phone in verizon...
Verizon tends to alter unlock codes on their global phones lately - not all but some I guess as some people unlock fine, others have issues. Same was with Droid 2 Global last year. All phones from 'first wave' weren't issue to unlock, but afterwards it got hit or miss..
There is no 'hardware unlock' available so far AFAIK. And might not show unless boot loader gets unlocked (since then we can thinker with baseband).

WHAT YOU MEAN, WHY U NO TELL ME WHAT I WANT RIGHT NOW PLEAZE!
What he is saying is the unlock code will only work while connected to an account in the US.
Droid 1 Rooted (ChevyNo1 0.9MV Kernel, LGB2.6)
Droid 3 Rooted (Stock Kernel, Custom lite De-bloat)
I was able to unlock my D3 without activating it with Verizon, and I was geographically in Canada when I entered the code.

I live in Germany and had no problem unlocking the Droid 3 with the Code bought from swiftunlock.
I think it is a question of "how new" the phone was. From what I learned by reading all those threads on many forums (and I think it is correct, since mine was unlocked easily as well):
- if you buy a phone that was never ever connected to verizon, the unlock works and you don't need to activate it with VZW (the activation request just disappears and you can use it like any non VZW model, except for the USSD restrictions and so on).
- if you get a phone that somebody already activated for you, you will most likely be busted. VZW does change the unlock keys OTA.
The best idea seems to be: make sure to get your phone from somebody who assures you that it's never been activated or connected to VZW via 2G/3G.
Mine was never activated and i am in Colombia even called Verizon and a rep gave me an unlock code but it did not work. it has been almost one month.
I unlocked fine and I flashed mine to cricket....

Hi I live in mexico, and I wonder if this method helps me to use it on my cell company, which is telcel.
Hello!
Hope this not bother too much, but as far I understand and because different posts on diferent threads, seems that several people like me, still have their D3 Network locked, so, may be we could try to get better help if we at least may know how many us are, and may be start to cross serial numbers o checking info in our locked phones in order to try to get some light on this bad luck.
By my side the infor that I have is:
Droid D3, still Network Locked and in Subsidy mode since by now Four online codes sellers was tested and all four sellers have the same 2 codes that didnt work.
By now, I also tested with "turbosim" clone card and neither success, the phone still locked.
Also tried to flash original Verizon 5.5.9 rom and later Xt883 rom with the hope that it may help to unlock gsm section, but no success.
My phone is marked as XT862 in back label and have a serial number with the following data (partial for security)
MSN: L826???FWK
(the ??? are other 3 chars but I provide the begin and end of my MSN serial in order to try to start track if the hard locks are from an specific batch of production...)
Thanks and best regards!
My Droid 3 in subsidy mode. I have same unlock code from 5 code sellers. Now I wait answer from cellunlocker.net, maybe they know anything.
Droid 3, Verizon, XT862
MSN: L826???RBH
+1 here.
I had codes directly from Verizon and it didn't work. 3 other codes from online vendors no good either.
= (
I have, however, escalated directly to Motorola, hopefully I will hear from them soon.
#L826***38N
In my humble opinion, the MEID and IMEI might be more important to trace rather than the serial number.
Hello leekslk!
Well, by your post,I hope if that motorola contact may could suggest some usefull info or help. Please, would You may comment about your progress if possible, so, I am sure that would be very gratefull.
Good luck, and best regards!
Well...still, may be around some other people with the Droid 3 still network locked????.... or what may change?... some luck in network unlock or take other routes?
Please, thanks in advance for comments.
Best regards!
@xaser66
Hi there, I have been requested by Motorola to send the unit back for them to provide a replacement (currently awaiting for the replacement unit to be sent out back to me, actually I wished they sent me a Droid 4). But this is after an escalation to management (yes, I do tend to make a big fuss).
If you could try to contact Motorola (i.e by sending a not-so-satisfied email as a loyal long-time customer (posing even) to a high level management executive) that could help.
Otherwise I was told that standard procedure would be to return the phone to where you purchased and get another one. I was even asked to sell the phone online so another Verizon user could use it, and thereafter get another one.
I hope this helps, I was asked explicitly not to reveal email addresses/direct contacts. It might have been worse-off if I didn't have a Verizon account, etc (I had an escalation (also) and case-notes with Verizon which Motorola checked and verified).
Further, if it was convenient and out of curiosity, where did you purchased your Droid 3?
BTW there's a long thread on the D2g forum about this problem, seem that there's a an unlucky selection of D2g and D3 that are unlockable for unknown reasons
Hello!
@ leekslk
Thanks for take time to post... well, seems that in my case it is worst by now... I bought my phone on Ebay, from a seller that sold me it with Clean ESN, so I supposed that this will fair enough to have not trouble in got unlocked by code. However since the first time I didnt have luck, and try to settle with the seller but it ad on ebay clearly said Clean ESN and for use in Verizon, so, may be hard to rise a case against it, apart that I already soend on pay the import taxes and shipping to my country, so, try to return it will make an additional lost, becuase have to pay for the international return shipping... :-(

Your phone is in the black list of verizon or haven't registered with verizon, so the unlocking codes dont work[ i got one locked also.]
The verizon blacklist has nothing to do with the sim unlocking, I have activated a d2g (which is blacklisted) w/o any problem.
hello everyone. Has anyone had any problems network unlocking the RAZRi's? I bought the phone about 4 weeks ago from a t mobile customer. Im on the 3 network, so i paid and ordered for the unlocking code from cellunlocker.net. I recieved the code but it didnt seem to work, so i got the 16 digit unlock code from another website. Both party's have given me the same exact code and have confirmed this is the only unlock code for the phone. Whenever i enter the code on the unlock screen, nothing happens. i can enter any number any amount of times and the phone just reverts back to the unlock screen. Ive been messing around with this phone for nearly 4 weeks now trying to unlock it. I flashed different firmwares just incase it was a firmware related problem. Tried, GB Retail and Europe but no luck. Before a penalty timer used to kick in on the en.orange firmware after entering the code, now after flashing to GB and Europe and reflashing back to orange.en i dont get no penalty timers. Ive come to a point, where im thinking of selling the phone to tmobile/orange sim user and going out and buying a unlocked razr. Im just wondering, if i have hardlocked my phone? Ive been without my phone line for nearly a month now...Someone please help me
Hello, I was considering buying my phone locked on a network and using cellunlocker too.
Firstly, if you paid for their service, and it doesn't work - go back to them. Do that before you move on. They told me they can unlock the RAZR i. You are a paying consumer - you paid - they must deliver.
Don't imagine the worst; it's your phone network, it's this complicated phone/software etc. P.s. I have faith in these services normally, I think some of them are legitimate and some aren't.
Let us know what cellunlocker says. :good:

Hi
Any advise on unlocking my recently bought Verizon Droid 4? I tried the service from sim-unlock.net and they seem to have troubles doing it, because the device uses CMDA and cannot be unlocked by code.
I am stuck right now and searching for a solution mainly provided unsuccessful stories or questions without answers. I have tried the default 000000 and 123456 and they failed and have only one more try left
Please keep in mind I don't live in the US and calling Verizon can be pretty costly. I've seen a post of someone calling Verizon for hours and never managed to unlock his phone.
Phone bought on ebay from a seller in the US should be unlocked to be used on a GSM network in Europe. I already bought a pre-paid sim card
Just replying to my own post to give an update.
The code that was prompted to enter was not to unlock it from the previous carrier, but the sim unlock code from the pre-paid card.
After unlocking that I could immediately start calling with it. So I assume this Droid is already unlocked... I was totally surprised by that, I was convinced that unlocking was necessary (it was even mentioned by the seller from ebay)
While investigating this I found out you can call to the US very cheap (1 ct / minute) by some services. So I've learned a few useful things
Now my next challenge will be to install cyanogenmod on the Droid

Imho all Droid 4's are GSM unlocked. GSM is what's been used in the EU so it will work just fine.
They are only locked to Verizon in the US (CDMA instead of GSM).
