Hi maybe you can help to my friend Patricio. He buy a lg thrill from ATT and he manage to insert another sim operator, he try to unlock by guessing the code, surprise... he fail. 10 times wrong code, now theres no way to insert the correct code that i have.
Any idea how can i reenter the correct unlock code?
Thanks
Sorry dude but what you have there is an honorable and loyal AT&T phone for life. No unlock possible. Its one of those things.

Hello all,
I'm new to all this unlocking and rooting thing so I wanted to ask you something.
Today I ordered from Amazon Samsung Captivate Galaxy S AT&T branded. The thing is that I live in Georgia, so there is no such thing as AT&T
I read as much to learn that I need to unlock my phone, but no one has ever mentioned if it's possible without having the branded SIM card.
So can I unlock my phone without having AT&T SIM card?
Yes you can unlock without sim card. If you get service through any carrier other than at&t that uses sim cards, you will be asked for unlock code.

Once you insert sim from "other carrier" the phone will ask for unlock code.. enter code at this time.

I do believe there is an app, that will find and store the code. Then when you insert other carriers sim, it unlocks automatically. There are quite a few posts about unlocking in the developement section..

First of all thank you very much for lightening-quick reply.
I'll try to look but I've never had an android and I'm interested, will it start without sim card? if not, how can I install the app for generating unlock code? or did you mean to get code by PC app?
Thanks in advance,
Gio
Ya your phone will start without a SIM card in it, and i believe the app he was reffering to earlier was one found in the android market
Thank you all
That feels much safe
Thank you all for your time
I think I'll handle from here
Just a quick question...I just sold my milestone and I have it rooted but does that also mean its unlocked? If not, does anyone know of a online place that will unlock or a way to do it? The buyer is on a different network so I have to do it.

Rooting does not unlock a phone.
You need what is called a subsidy unlock code. This unlocks it for use on other networks. When you insert a SIM from a different network, it will prompt you for a code.
I have had very good success with gsmliberty for unlock codes on many phones. I dont know about customer service because always got my codes a few hours after paying around 10 bucks.

Try to search on internet any page that offer the service of unlocking
How do I check to see if my Vivid is unlocked?
I know I can use a non AT&T card (it's unlocked)but I want to use the keypad method where you enter a string of numbers and the network lock on off screen shows.
If your an att customer you can call care and request an unlock code. If not search online for an unlock site there are many.

This may or may not work. ive been on the phone with att 4 times in the past week for periods of up to 2 hours and i kept getting told that "the system shows that your device doesnt currently have a unlock code available. And, the system shows there is no date for when that unlock code will be available."
i thought this was att giving me the run around...over and over again... but apparently, after taking to three managers, and getting 2 call backs from dropped calls, theyre serious..
I am ofcourse talking about the sim unlock and not the bootloader unlock.
Carriers Put Delays on Unlock Codes
When I had my HD2 on T-Mobile, their stated policy was to require a minimum of 90 days on the account before they would provide an unlock code. After that time, I was able to get one from T-Mobile with no problem. AT&T probably has a similar policy. You might could get it early if you wanted to use the phone overseas with a local SIM.

thats the exact reason i gave them. I am going overseas and i need it unlocked. i have found that it is possible to get it sim unlocked though. just have to pay between 25-45 dollars at any site offering it. just be careful which site you want, as alot of them look.. less than dependable.
If someone successfully unlocked their Vivid from one of these website, please post the URL. Thank you.
cellunlocker.net I'm in the Army and i spoke to att and they told me the same thing about that they cant give me the unlock code or some BS. google'd and found this site and in like 20 minutes i got the email with the code. But you have to have a non att sim card to do it. thankfully my cousin has tmobile and i used his sim card.

I seriously recommend this website.

I've unlocked a handful of Blackberry/Android phones for oversea use shenanigans for friends and family.
I used to be apart of the Crackberry forums and attained this coupon code in the past for 50% off ALL Unlock codes: crackb50
Enjoy.

I have purchased this phone last month from someone and have tried to unlock it with the code that I purchased from website and it did not work. HOw and where do I get unlcock this phone?
So I have an i897 Captivate here. I've called AT&T and they gave me an unlock code for it.
I also have a new, never used AT&T SIM card installed in the phone.
I want to unlock the phone and hand it to my girlfriend so she has as few problems as possible when she goes to put the phone on a pre-paid plan of her choosing (I have no idea which it will be).
And I have installed a rooted Froyo ROM.
So how do I unlock it? All the guides I've found say I need to either be connected to a data plan already, or have a non-AT&T SIM installed. Neither of which are possible at the moment.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Well, the only thing that comes to mind is to ask a friend to give you his/her non-AT&T SIM card for 2min.
Insert a sim and it will ask u for a unlock code

Hello there.
I bought a Motorola Atrix HD with the purpose of using it in Tmobile with Tzones. The thing is that ive been trying to buy the unlock code and no luck so far. Its been 10 unlock services sellers and every one of them tell me that my Imei have been rejected or not working ? they refund the money and thats it, nobody tell me nothing.....
Anything of this had happen to anyone here ?
That mean is another scrap phone i bought ?
thx
Sorry didn't have this issue. The unlock code took a bit longer to get on this phone than any other, but they sent it to me within 7 days.
I used unlockunit
Sim Network Unlock
My Atrix HD doesn't seem to want to read my sim card. It SHOULD ask me to input a sim network unlock code, but it doesn't. Is there a way to force that prompt? I ask this as I wait for a unlock code from an unlocker site.

the only way i know is turning off your phone, insert the other provider sim (it needs to be already activated/working) then turn it on and you will see the prompt
Sometimes phones sold are stolen and reported then there imei numbers are bad or frozen the original owner needs to reclaim it if that's the case in order for the imei to be unlocked

You don't need to pay. If you are lff-contract, then you can call AT&T and they will give you an unlock code, free of charge. I have done it on multiple phones.
