Hello,
I recentley got a HD7 from o2 with a pay as you go sim because i cant get the HD7 from Orange (my network)
Now I have the phone I have found O2 have Sim locked it so I cannot use my Orange sim in it. I have looked all through XDA developers to see if other people had the same problem.
A lot of people have used http://www.htcimeiunlock.com/htc-hd7-unlock I have been on this site every day for 2 weeks and they cannnot find an unlock code for my ime number.
I have used a cople of other unlock websites i found on google but they all say they cant find the unlock code.
Dose any one have any suggestions? If not dose any one want a HD7 locked to o2?
Sounds tough for you, I had mine unlocked from there within 5 minutes and its an 02 pay as you go, using http://www.htcimeiunlock.com/htc-hd7-unlock.
Yeah I bought an HD7 at the weekend, locked to O2 with the intention of getting it unlocked. First person I tried came back saying they couldn't find an unlock code. Trying again with someone else who promises they use the newest database (costs more) but it's been nearly twenty four hours without anything so I'm guessing no luck again.
The IMEI checker on htcimeiunlock.com says a code isn't in the database so I don't know what to do either. When I check price and availabilty on unlock-now.com it takes me to their order page and costs €35.00 but I haven't really seen them before so not sure if they're legit. HTCCode are around the same price but I've heard quite a few horror stories, so a bit put off now.
And sure enough, another refund due to a lack of code. Going to ring O2 directly, when I asked instore I mentioned that I wasn't on O2 and so couldn't use the web form, so he told me to ring instead.
EDIT: Big fat nope, only after 12 months.
Just used the Live Support feature on the HTCCode website and got a quick response. My phone isn't in the database yet but it should be updated within a fortnight. Took my details to get back to me when that happens.
Looks like I'm playing the waiting game sadly.

Hello I'm in canada and bought a Droid 3 (verizon) from ebay
I will unlock it with a code that is available from well known sources (swiftunlock, etc..)
the description says 'Ready to Activate' so this worried me abit, doe sit have to be activated thru verizon before the phone will even work or do anything
or can i punch in the unlock code (based on its IMEI) and start using it regardless of whether it is 'activated' or not
what im worried about is, if it hasnt been activated, will its unlock code (based on IMIE) even show up to these unlockers, or is the code generated right away when a phone is manufactured and stamped with an IMEI regardless of activation
THanks!
You don't need to have it activated on Verizon to unlock the GSM part.
You can easily bypass the activation by tapping in the four corners of the screen on the activation prompt.
As soon as it sees the foreign SIM it will prompt you for unlock code. Given you got an unlock code for it, you should be able to unlock it.
There are some horror stories with the older Droid 2 Global - some of them were custom locked by Verizon and standard unlock codes unlockers provide do not work.
I haven't heard yet of somebody successfully unlock a D3 using online unlock service (only Verizon Global support is known to provide unlock codes that work so far). But it has been couple of weeks since D3 is available, maybe unlockers are getting those codes already. Please keep us posted!
Personally I am going to wait for the Canadian XT860 that is coming shortly to Bell. Since I have some not so pleasant experience with the buggy Droid 2 Global radio/baseband and given the fact Droid 3 uses the same chipset (Qualcomm MSM6600), chances are GSM/UTMS radio of D3 suffers from the same issues D2G does.
From another side - D3 is cheaper than XT860. I am sure Bell will charge at least $550 for it, if not even $600 (and tax), D3 comes much cheaper at $475 US (even US-CDN$ rate is favourable) at non-contract price.
Keep us posted on how it goes with your D3!
There was a report of succesful unlock here in the forum, and now I confirm this too.
The code from swiftunlocks worked. I contacted the guy in advance, he told me about 90% D3 can be unlocked. And at least for me, it worked. I can really recommend his servive.

I wrote him an email to [email protected] (had it from ebay, wanted to ask him if he _really_ can unlock D3), he responded very quickly and offered me the code for $20. Had the code a few hours later. Really can recommend.
And no, I don't think it will work with U.S. GSM providers.
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.
Ugggg.... I've checked and although there is talk of help with unlocking, I don't see this specifically, so forgive if I missed it....
I did my first post a week or so ago when I had just bought a MyTouch that my son got to and, well, we ended up ordering a digitizer and spending hours trying to fix that one (the glue was CRAZY!).... Well, that didn't work.
I bought an Atrix HD off craigslist, yes locked. I love it, but now have tried two unlock companies and neither could come up with a code. AT&T can't tell me why (or so they say) that they say it's "unlockable".....
So, am I two for two - with another phone that I can't use or am I missing something.
Thanks so much - I really want to use this phone.
A quick search on eBay should solve your problems

Recently, I bought a Motorola Flipout for my mom, and I have to admit that I am a Motofan and I bought more than 30 Motorolas in the past 2 years, ranging from 15 dollar to 425 dollars, all Androids. But this Flipout gave me some problems...
It was carrier locked to ATT, I'm using Telcel GSM, so I just bought the unlock code and put it on the phone like all the Androids I had, I tought it's was going to be easy, but I was wrong.
The first seller told me he didn't found the code, so i was refunded my 3.99, then the second seller told me the same, refunded me 7.99, I was like crazy, how no one can found the code for this now obsolete and old 2.1 phone?
I found this site: Cellunlocker.net and I bought the code from there, it cost me 7.99 dollar, and after 12 hours they gave me 2 codes, they didn't work, I was like crazy, how can even be possible I can't get an unlock code for this? In the same site, there's an extra option called "Manufacturer / Code Not Found" method. It's the most expensive than the carrier method, but it's more effective, the code for the Flipout with this method cost me 32.99 but it was valid. I recommend you this site if the ebay sellers can't find the unlock code for your Atrix, only you need paypal.

Here's the page, only you put the model, then choose Manufacturer / Code Not Found Method and the IMEI, you can try it, and good luck!

Okay, well at this point after trying AT&T and two different unlocking companies....including cellular unlocking - I think I'll check out your link because I LOVE this phone, not to mention I've already bought a Balistic cover, screen covers and just installed the jellybean update...... You guys are great..... thanks so much!

Well I tried AT&T again - figured it was worth a shot. They took my name, cell number, ime # on the atrix..... she came back with "This phone is unlockable and will NEVER be able to be unlocked."
Is this true or just what they say????
Ugggg....
Mmm... what are you want to do exactly? sim-unlock? I mean, if you want to buy an unlock code for your phone, you just need the model, the original carrier that is locked to, and the imei, just that, they give you the unlock code based on the imei code...

I have used two unlock companies. Both come back saying they can't produce a code and at&T says it is was manufactured as "an unlockable device", which sounds strange to me.....
I don't know the personal "history" of the phone other than it's relatively new - obviously... but have no idea about "developer" editions or anything like that..... Is it possible that a phone was "made unlockable"??
I use TMobile and it is locked to AT&T **************

Don't worry, I use this phone on T-Mobile. It is unlockable. I too had two other companies fail to find the code and have to issue me a refund. I also spent a LONG time on the phone with AT&T who eventually said they couldn't unlock it because it was such a new model and they "reserved the right to keep it locked for up to a year". But the third company I tried, americanunlocker.com finally got me my unlock code and it worked fine. I'm now rockin T-Mobile's $30 plan on my AT&T Atrix HD. The unlock only cost me $15.

You Rock.....It took 5 days of "calculating unlock code" from AMERICAN UNLOCKERS..... but THEY DID IT!!!!
So definitely worth the $14.99!!! especially after 2 others who couldn't do it and 2 phone calls to AT &T where they were telling me it was unlockable for unknown reasons the first time and "would never be unlockable" on the second try!!!
THANKS SO MUCH!

Is everyone else getting a 5-day turnaround time from American Unlocker? I bought the code last Friday, and it's now Wednesday and they still haven't sent me the code. I'm starting to get worried since they said it would take 1-3 days.
It's been 10 days now since I placed my order with American Unlocker. Still no unlock code, and no reply to my messages via email, the fake "Live support" window, posts on their Facebok page, and messages to their Facebook profile. They don't pick up the phone either.
I finally got the code from American Unlocker, and it worked. They took their sweet time, but they delivered
Just wanted to ask has anyone else with an Atrix HD ever contacted AT&T to ask for the subsidy unlock code and been told the device doesn't even exist in their database with the IMEI code the phone actually shows?
I got an Atrix HD just yesterday, it's an insurance/warranty replacement phone that the owner simply had no use for because he moved on to another device (but is still with AT&T). I asked a friend of mine with AT&T service to call that 800-331-0500 number and provide the IMEI of this device to see about getting the subsidy code and was told "we can't find that device in our system" so I'm kinda wondering just what the hell is going on now.
The "box" the phone was in (along with the manuals and USB charger/cable) has a sticker that plainly denotes it as a refurb which is expected, but if they're disallowing someone to subsidy unlock it - and the Atrix HD was on the market long before that silly law went into effect earlier this year in January - because of something it sure would be interesting to discover exactly what that reason is or why they're saying this device can't be found in their system.
I was going to use an eBay subsidy code provider but I'm glad I decided to go this other route, that would have apparently been a waste of money (that I might not have been able to get refunded).
Anyone have any experience with this sort of situation at all? I'd appreciate most any info if you have some to share, thanks.
As an update, the original owner of the phone was willing to contact AT&T and ask for the subsidy code. He apparently used to work for AT&T in the recent past and was familiar enough with their "mysterious ways" to BS his way into getting the code and it worked as expected, now using this Atrix HD with T-Mobile and it works just fine.
Admins/Mods, you're welcome to close/lock this thread if necessary, thanks.
Ask him to give you the tip so we can do tje same. Lol
