I currently have an unlock code (AT&T started allowing unlock codes from February 4th) however on CM7 I can't get the "Enter Network Unlock Code" prompt to show up either through the code (2945#*925#) or by inserting a non-AT&T sim..
Any way to force the prompt to come up?
I think you could make a back up flash to stock then unlock and then restore back up and you phone will still be unlocked I think im not 100 percent you'll have to Google but I think once its unlocked it will always be unlocked

I just entered the unlock code I received from ATT and got the message unlock code passed. I take it that this means its unlocked? Is it a permanent unlock?

Click to expand...

I believe that it is a permanent unlock - however - please read the WIKI and do not confuse UNLOCK with HARDSPL if you are going to FLASH ROMS.

what was the exact code or numbers you used to unlock the phone...because some of the #'s for unlock just unlock the service providers branded lock but the other codes unlock the phone period
if the code is from AT&T, then its for permanent sim unlock and you can use other sims. no more, no less
Yes the code is directly from ATT. I told them I'd be doing some international travel and wanted the option of putting in a european sim card while there.
is there a way to unlock my phone just using my tmobile sim because i already got my unlock code for my phone but not another sim for it...is there any alternate options?
any one pleaase?
I have a HTC raider that is locked to bell (a Canadian carrier). Android version is 4.0.3 and software number is 3.38.666.2.
I found some videos on YouTube that show you how to unlock using a code that you buy online so I did that and got a code. I entered this code when prompted and it accepted the code but it didn't unlock the phone. Also it seems that the phone will accept any random 8 digit code but it will not unlock it. Like it will say successfully unlocked from network with any random 8 digit code but when the phone reboots it asks for the code again. The same thing happens with code that I purchased online.
My first question is that the raider on the youtube video asks for "SIM unlock pin" but my phone asks for "IMSI unlock pin", so what is the difference?
Second question is why does the phone accept any random 8 digit code when none of them work? Can my phone even be unlocked with a code?
Third question is are there any other ways to unlock it, like how jailbreaking on iphone you can unlock it via software; is there something like this for the raider. Is rooting a similar thing?
Finally I tried this but it did not work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681145
On HBOOT it says S-OFF but on the top it says "locked" and read out was exactly the same as in that post.
Please help.
Ok, so I finally got the bootloader unlocked and its S-OFF and the phone is rooted (I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343625) . Now I'm under the assumption that I need to install a stock or custom rom and my phone will be unlocked? Am I correct in this assumption or is there more to it?
There is somewhere in the dev forum a thread dedicated to sim unlocking the raider via a flashable zip. You have to enter your imei into a website and they email a zip back to you. No idea if the thread is still alive tho, but I have used it to successfully sim unlock 3 of these. For the record I was then and am still using wcx recovery.

Hi all;
got my sim unlock code for the nexus 6. when i put in a non carrier sim and boot back up no menu comes up for me to enter the unlock code, just says no service, if i put the original carrier sim back in it works fine..any way to manually invoke the unlock code menu so i can enter it or any other tips..thanks in advance
I can't help with this but it may help others to say what carrier you're locked to..
Sorry..iT's locked to rogers in canada
Since the phone was already used on Rogers, perform a factory wipe to use a new carrier's SIM
My Rogers Nexus 6 came unlocked out of the box. I expect yours is as well. I have never heard of a locked Nexus device sold by a Canadian carrier.
Weird
..just says selected network (telus) what im trying to connect it to is unavailable. Factory reset at this point too
I tried calling them but they won't unlock it. Are there other options as of now? I have the unlock code, but I do not know where to enter it.
The only way to unlock it is by calling sprint, they will send you the unlock OTA and instruct you to do Settings-->General-->system updates-->UICC Unlock
The menu to enter GSM SIM unlock code was removed from Sprint's stock ROM.
I think you have to tell them you are going to travel internationally to get them to unlock it.
you also have to have a current account with them and you can't unlock more than one device per 12 month
