I have subsidy (hard) locked Atrix HD, but i think not only me. I can not send it to AT&T because im from other country. Question is - can i flash bell firmware (or radio) to at&t phone? Will this help with subsidy locked problem? Or maybe other solutions? Thanks.

Yes you can. I already have. I haven't flashed radios at all, but only because the ATT 411 gives me a good signal.
This won't effect carrier lock.
I've flashed Bell ICS, ATT ICS 144, Mex Retail, and ATT JB. All work just fine. Do it the HOW TO way, just skip any command with "erase" in it (they don't work for us??).
i have unlock code, but with hard locked phone no way to unlock it with code...
So even if i flash firmware from Bell version i will still be locked? Bad news... Maybe some ideas how to pass through AT&T lock?

Yeah, you'll still be carrier locked .
There are ways of software carrier unlocking with some devices (not using IMEI unlocking services) -- Defy had one, SGS3\Note 2 have one. If you're lucky, maybe one will be found for us.
Is it because of the new "its illegal to sim unlock in the US law" that its so hard for the Atrix HD to get carrier unlocked?
//Seems like some our girls are wam, bam, thank you ma'am, I'm unlocked and some are wearing welded shut chastity belts...we needs us an AHD angle grinder .
mine was hard locked too.. i typed a lot of times the wrong code..
so I shipped it to Motorola and they exchanged for free! The new one is now unlocked
Oh! please let me know what need to do this? Im not AT&T customer but phone on warranty.

Many unlockers have simple/old database and don't have a code for AHD. That was the case with the first I tried. But cellunlockerpro on ebay, which claims to be direct, was able to find mine. YMMV

Just look for customer service at Motorola website and start chatting with them. Explain you don't want an unlocked device.. you just want your phone to be "unlockable" again..
Say that your phone even can't detect the sim card hehe
They will create an RMA number and you'll have to mail the phone.. so they'll mail it back to you (only US address, so if you're not from USA check usabox.com to forward the phone)

How long did it take to get an unlock code from them? I'm interested in an unlock code for my Bell Canada Atrix HD LTE.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Edit: Took about 3.5 days but I was able to get an unlock code for my Bell AHD from cellunlockpro.

The easiest way to unlock your phone regardless of model is simply to call the carrier(i.e. at&t, t-mobile etc) and ask them to give you the unlock code. If you've been a customer for awhile or if you're a good talker you will have no problem doing it. You can even do this for phones like the Razr or even Nokias. Just about any phone can be unlocked this way. Good luck.
what do you guys use to unlock the Incredible S?

I've used cellunlock.net to unlock my Incredible S.
BTW, if you are interested - I am selling my unlocked (originally Bell branded) IS. I'm currently using it on Fido!
I realize it's not what you're asking, but just so everyone knows, if you buy a phone from the same carrier you have service with then legally they have to unlock the phone for you if you request it directly.
I have done so before with phones on ATT & TMobile and never had to pay or had any issues doing so. I just called them up and explained that I wanted my phone unlocked and they did so.

I'm not sure the legal implications are the same between US and Canada. Also, I'm not sure that carriers will give you the code immediately. Some of them will ask you to wait for some time or expect that you are a current customer before giving you the code.

Yes, Canadian carriers generally require a minimum of 30 days service before they will unlock a phone. Plus they charge $50 (or more) for the unlock.
maybe u need a XTC chip to unlock and s-off Incredible S ...
Sim unlock is around $20 online

Can someone tell me if I unlock a carrier Locked IS online and after Flashing custom Roms, will it ReLock again or it would remain like a factory unlocked set?

No flashing a custom Rom will not undo a SIM unlock.
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?
I want to unlock my atrix hd (at&t) to a different carrier,is yours unlocked? if so how did you do it? unlock code? some other method without using unlock code? how much did you buy the unlock code for? o;
You have to buy a code as there is no way to unlock the AHD for free. In order to enter the code, you need to be on a pure stock or close-to-pure stock rom in order to enter the unlock code.
If you're an AT&T customer, they may give you the code for free.

Ok thank you, i will probably buy an unlock code, and use stock rom,does it stay unlocked forever?
Just google your carrier and request unlock. I know At&t has an online request form to unlock the carrier . As long as you meet the requirements there is no charge for this service. Thirty minutes after submitting the request At&t sent me the unlock code. T-mobile I'd imagine would do the same.
As for your other question, I am curious too. I just reverted my phone back to stock At&t. Got to find someone with a non At&t SIM to see if my phone is still carrier unlocked. I say it is.
The phone will be unlocked forever. I have never seen or read a post where a phone became carrier locked after being unlocked by entering a code.
If you purchased a used phone, put in a non-ATT sim after reverting to a stock rom to make sure you receive a prompt to enter your network unlock code. If you are on stock and don't the prompt, the phone maybe be hard locked to ATT and there is very little an end user can do to unlock the phone.
bought it on ebay... better pay with then than some random website with your CC info.
I haven't used this service but I've seen it referenced several times here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...3&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123#ht_668wt_1121
What's interesting is that the MB886 isn't listed as one of the phones, yet people say it has worked.
I will try that, feel much safer then random website that I don't know if they are safe.

I purchased this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221338036489 and the seller sended me the unlock code within a couple of hours. Also you can use gsmliberty.net. They are a very trusted site and works.

Hey everyone. Is it possible to GSM unlock the atrix HD on a stock jellybean rom?
I dont have any other sim than at&t so i cant use the sim to unlock it.
Thanks ahead of time!
Any ideas welcome.
All the atrix hd are gsm to my knowledge bro and you can unlock it using your att simcard.
Yup, that's possible. You just need unlock code. I'm using almost a year my Atrix using different carrier.
so there is no way of unlocking the adrix hd for any gsm use unless you pay the people for the code??
Not even a way like the s3's have it? or a rom or anything??
