Hey Guys. I just wanna ask if there's any workaround to a permanently AT&T locked Atrix HD, My phone asks for a "Sim Network Unlock PIN" but i already ordered from two different sites, both the same 8-digit codes. Now to my conclusion, the phone wont anymore accept the code even if it is correct, and this is set on the chip level that's why a modem reflash would be the only way around?
I've read Amil's site and this is how it goes for Atrix 2, maybe the same procedure for those like me that can't unlock their phones to other than AT&T. http://www.amilkhanzada.com/2012/03/how-to-unlock-permanently-network.html
If mayve there is a file available for my problem....

Have you tried the app found in the market? (you need the original Sim card from where you got the phone and any other company's sim card
Try searching for "SGS unlock" in market place. It should be called the "Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool".
Simply Run the app after installing (while using the original Sim card) and it should give you two codes: an unlock code and an unfreeze code.
Once you get them, I suggest writing it down and/or emailing it to yourself.
After that, turn off your phone and swap the sim card to the one you want to use. The phone "should" ask you for the unlock code when you turn it back on and after it has booted. Simply enter the unlock code and you phone should then tell you it's unlocked (if everything works ok otherwise it will say it was unsuccessful).
Note: I am on Bell in Vancouver running the stock 2.1 firmware and it's worked fine for me. There have been people who were not so lucky and it did not work for them. There are even those who have gotten their phone locked due to trying to many time when after it fails to unlock, but that is what the unfreeze code is for. If you're with Orange mobility, I've read that some of their phones were already unlocked. You could always just try a different sim card and see if it accepts it if you haven't done so already.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for replying, new to this site not sure what I'm doing !
When i paid to have the phone unlocked i had already canceled my o2 monthly contract so the phone had no Sim in it when being unlocked, i don't have the o2 Sim anymore, i brought the phone from o2 so they might help me out I'll have to ask them. I've just put a o2 pay as you go Sim in the phone & it didn't ask for the Sim Network Unlock Pin but with the 3 contract Sim it does ask. I have installed the SGS Unlock tool but i haven't run the app. I'm having the phone unlocked again tomorrow so he hopefully can sort it out. Thanks again.
I tried to "SGS unlock tool" and nothing does not give me the codes. When I go to the root gene codes told me: "Sorry, no codes found. File not found: Do you have S Business"
I have no idea what to do.
Is there some other way to decode or knows someone why this is happening?
I also tried with Generate Unlock Windows, error is: can not find nv_data.bin
[Q] Does "SIM network unlock PIN" necessarily mean the phone is just locked?
Hi all, so here's the story - I bought a used Samsung Vibrant (at&t galaxy s 1), upgraded to 2.2 to get the unlock code, unlocked it. I then tested it with my GiffGaff (o2 UK simcard) and it worked fine. Then I proceeded to flash CM7.1 on it and just assumed that it remained unlocked and forwarded it onto my friend in Japan.
Now that he recieved it, he put his softbank sim in and he's getting a "SIM network unlock pin" prompt when the phone is turned on. Now, I'm a bit confused as to why that's happening because I had previously unlocked the phone.
My questions are A) could flashing to a new rom have un-done the unlock? I thought not...but I can't seem to remember if I ever read that or just think that B) does "SIM network unlock pin" indeed only point to the fact that the phone is locked? From the various threads here that I've seen that contain the same message, it appears so...but I just want to double check?
The main issue is that there's another message saying 9/10 attempts, so I'm afraid to just give him (show him how to obtain) the lock code again.... if he did try it, and for whatever reason it didn't work, would it be as good as bricked? (I can remember back in the days when I would unlock the old school non-smartphones that once you reached the X or Y tries for entering the lock pin, it would become unusable)
any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
update: oh man, I just found out that I sent him the wrong captivate...problem solved....his is indeed locked/etc. sorry!
Hey Guys,
I bought a Galaxy Note here in Mexico, actually 2, one for me one for my GF...
The only company that brought it here was Telcel, but in 6 months i finish my contract and want to move to a different (Faster) Company...
Im new at android, so i was told i could sim unlock my android easy.. well i have been searching lots of forums, and havent found an answer yet,
I even dare to pay to get an unlock code at http://www.cellunlocker.net which i do NOT recommend i havent got answer for my problem yet, anyway here is my problem, i got the code, so its easy i just have to input the code on my phone, the problem is that i dont know how to input the code.
This is what i have tried so far...
1.- Put a sim of a Network locked on my phone... i was supposed to get a screen saying insert Network Lock code or something like that, instead all i got the first 3 times was Network Locked... that's it no option to input the code, right now i dont even get that screen it only shows the icon that means network locked...
2.- I search in the forums, and found sever ussd Codes in this tread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20750699&postcount=72
So ok i tried #7465625*638*Code# / #7465625*638*# / and according to the instructions i got from the cellunlocker page i tried #0111*Code#, all of them returns the same thing "Connection Problem or invalid MMI Code"
I have tried other ussd codes and for example *#06# for the imei and *#7465625# which gave me the current status do work, also another one to see the Mac of the bluetooth, so i stuck here....
Any ideas?? thanks!!!
im going to answer your question, you can try to use an online tool to try to unlock your note, THE BIG PROBLEM is that you wont be able to use in any other company because telcel has locked the firmware, the only thing you can do is change your firmware and you will able to use with other provider
So.. When ics is out i can update and then unlock.. Cause there are no firmware updates right now
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Just wanted to sat that i flashed a custom ROM... Then when using a different sim it gave me the option to unlock so now im unlocked and well that website i used for getting the unlock code was for real
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Could you please post the website? I need to unlock a well to use with iusacell
It is very easy
I am on the original unchanged ICS Touch Wizz 4.0.3 rom
using google play on your phone search for GalaxSim Unlock .... it worked perfectly for me
I think you have to have your phone rooted though...only minor prerequisite needed..
Hi, I saw lot people asking about "How to unlock Droid3", So first of all there is no tool which can unlock the droid 3 for now.
Well I purchased two Droid 3 handset from Ebay U.S both are locked to Verizon. I bring back the handset to India. The way which I know and found on this forum is first you need unlock code from Verizon or in my case I also purchased the codes from ebay U.S at $3.55 single code (you can negotiated with seller if have need two codes).
In order to enter the code just switch ON the phone and it ask for enter the PIN. You will see successful text if the code is correct otherwise unsuccessful text. Then restart the device and you will not see that PIN enter menu again. (Please don't enter the code more than 2 times, ask the seller again if the code is not working, Sometimes they provide two codes).
Afterwards Just flash the XT883 ROM (which is Chinese ROM). Then you are good to go both GSM and CDMA work networks great. Here is one of thread on XT883. One more thing if only want to use CDMA sim then you don't need unlock code, the code only for GSM, just flash XT883 ROM and use your CDMA sim card.
Well I don't know this thread is helpful or relevant, If not Mods can delete this thread.
You're on GSM900/800, UMTS2100, right? Was the Chinese ROM necessary for functionality? Why do you think Maverick and Steeldroid aren't using it as a base?
In GSM 1800/900 and CDMA/EVDO Rev A 800/1900 or (CDMA2000 1X & 1xEV-DO Rev. A). Well it's bug free I think.
Hello!
Well, now officially my D3 have one year since it becomes a expensive paperweight since was Subsidy locked by try to sim unlock with several codes from sellers when there no clear info about the lock that VRZ puts in D3...
Well, since so long time since I did my last attemps to unlock it (with kind help of a friend here...) I would like to ask if by today may be possible to flash some more recent hacked/leaked that may allow to unlock subsidy locked D3.
I have 2 codes that seems to be to Moto original form my IMEI and also the code to use in VRZ, BUT since I am not in VRZ network and with no practical way to get VRZ coverage, I wonder if by now may be some hope about thsi nasty issue (also wonder about other users that had also locked D3 and what happen in their cases)
By my side I remenber that I tried evrything about the time and the last resource that I take was try to flash the radio nad other parts of chinese rom in order to try to get an unlock mode without verizon network...
By now my D3 boot normal and I could use it in wifi and may install things and set up for ADB access too... is totally normal except that is subsidy locked son no recognize my carrier sim... with a turbo sim my D3 coul dial voice calls and works but is unstable so as soon I move from my neighborhood the signal is lost and I need to turn of D3 and turn on the sim card in other phone in order to get the sim again recognized by my carrier with turbosim in D3....
Thanks for kind attention and best regards!
Did you try the 883 radio? It may report subsidy locked but just may not like the SIM.
