[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?

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?

Unlock Code
I asked for unlock code several people. What unlock service you can recomend?

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

[Q] Xperia Z C6603 Sim Unlock

Hi Everyone
Picked up a Xperia Z its on the C6603 firmware and I believe its locked to T-Mobile as when I try another sim its comes up as saying sim card not provisioned MM2, however when going to the system info screen using the dial pad and then sim lock all the numbers on the right for network etc are on 0 and there are no crosses in any of the boxes on the left, so was hoping maybe you could tell me if its unlocked or not and if so where I could get it unlocked thanks and sorry if this is posted elsewhere but couldn't find it.

You could try flashing it so it's factory unlocked or buy a network key if you don't fancy losing warranty

Just for people on here questioning how to sim unlock the mobile, you may want to do this quick check first as I had mine on contract from t-mobile UK and paid £20 for a unlock code that I have not received and by doing the following below, I found out it was already unlocked so check before you decide to either pay for a code or even flash the mobile.
Dial *#*#7378423#*#* on the keypad to enter the service info and then check (sim lock) (network) , if there is a "X" mark in the square box on the left then it is locked. The number to the extreme right indicates the number of tries left. For example if it is 5 , it means you have 5 tries left.
Also there is apparently a new firmware release from sony today with some suggesting it fixes the bug that killed a few mobiles recently.

Thanks for the advice.
I have already done this and i am network locked. Any chance you could keep me update as to whether you ever receive your code?

instead of a number like 5 tries left.... I got unlimeted .. Why ? however, ww. htccode.com solved my sim locked sony xperia z problem.

HTCCODE.com
I just got my DOCOMO Xperia Z (SO-02E) Unlocked using HTCCODE.com. The cost was $40 and it did take about a week to get my code but it worked as advertised, and the personnel on the companies live chat support were great to deal with.
If you are looking to unlock your Xperia Z and don't mind waiting a few days for your code I would recommend HTCCODE.com

Is it possible to have free sim unlock?

Does that means if the square boxes is empty on all fields, it simply means its already unlocked or no restrictions?

YES - its UNLOCKED POP in ANOTHER SIM AND IT WILL WORK!

Yes my friend. ...
And by the way ... just got mine from 3 and it is locked unlike yours!
So any wiz could confirm (even though I am quite sure that it's not possible) ...If i put a stock Rom on the device (thus de-branding it) . Do I get the device sim unlocked as well ?

Unfortunately not. I'm using an unbranded custom rom and I'm still sim locked.

Atix HD not able to sim unlock. (Imei rejected)

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.

[Q] Unlocking AT&T Moto X

Hi there!
I'm having hard days trying to unlock my Moto X by AT&T. I've got the phone almost a month ago and the problem is that I can't get the unlock code from any service, they just can't find it.
I made a few calls to AT&T and as I understood operators can't give unlock codes anymore. They asked me to go to att.com/deviceunlock to fill the unlock request form.
The form includes field called "Wireless number" and since I live in Russia I cannot provide any US number.
Is there a kind person who could get the code for me, filling the form with his wireless number (I can pay for that)?
Or maybe anyone knows another way to unlock the device?
Thanks a lot!

Unfortunately that was not me who got phone unlocked, that was a guy that bought from me. And it happened about 2 months ago, so that was not a very long wait
