Hey guys, im having issues unlocking a pair of Razr i Xt890 from ClaroPR. I bought codes from two different companies for two different Razr i. Problem is when i insert those codes the phone will give a message "Phone is locked, contact your service provider". Thing is that is kind of strange both of them state the same thing. Question is, will flashing a nonbranded firmware solve this? Or is this just a case of wrong unlock codes? Im asking because since i bought the codes from two different companies its kind of weird they wont unlock. Both of them. The firmware ask me for a code is youre going to ask me, it just says the phone is locked after i insert the code.

I have tried 3 different codes even one from verizon and still the phone is locked. The people in verizon told me that they only have one code for my phone and do not know why it is not working. Perhaps the phone has to be in the verizon network when in input the code.I am in Colombia right now and I am trying to use it with movistar. Thanks
Sorry for offtop.
How you taken unlock code from Verizon? I have code for my droid, but this code not from Verizon and not working. And I think code from Verizon will be work.
I guess it was just luck that i got a very helpful rep. I told the that i was abroad, that i pay in full and all that stuff.
Hi.. when i bought my Droid 3 in ebay, it was not unlocked. I asked the seller to ask for de SIM unlock code and verizon gave it to him as good client. This guy saved my life.
I am in Movistar Uruguay, and code worked. No need to use CDMA network to SIM unlock. Phone is superb.
Then I do not know what is wrong with my phone. I did exactly the same but the code does not work. I got the code from Verizon too. when i put it it does not work and it goes to subsidy lock. I guess I tried too many times and now it is in a different type of lock. Anyone knows how to restore it to original. I restored, flashed and nothing still the same.
i am trying to unlock and flash my verizon d3 as well global tech support told me the phone had to b active on there network to unlock there is a code for each meid# and things they do ota on there end also , they told me the phone could not b unlocked out of the country off of there network i am in the midst of flashing my to chinese ver.firmware but im not totaly unlocked i had a glitch flashing and had to restore factory now verizon needs to release again .,or so it seems im tryin to find away around it they only unlock each ten months
The whole problem with unlock codes from verizon is that I bet it's not the sim/network unlock code but the PUK or pin unlock key that's used to unlock the phone after too many invalid attempt but not to unlock the network/simlock. Pretty sure I can get my network unlock for bell for $75 after I've been in contract with them for 3 months and my account is in good standing. Just some idiot rep reading "unlock key" but not the first work and handing it out without really knowing what it's for, I've had it happen on rogers, bell and virgin mobile.
Ihave this same problem i buy an xt862 and a code on moto4unlock.com and dosnt work so i get a code from motorola and la this same that the moto4... So i dont know what to do same one can help me please
Hello!
Well, I am really pissed by now... after 3 weeks waiting, finally I received a turbosim clone, that according a research to my best, it could be the more probably such class device to be able to allow the locked d3 to connect at least... but NO luck... :-(
As reference to help other around here... the device was:
SMARTPHONE Sim Unlock Card and could check info for ebay item Item number: 270690911540.
I bought this, since after a long research, seems that in case of Droid 2+turbosim success, the key feature was that the sim must be the more recent possible (2011) and with Moto SidKick model losted, since this appears to be the key for success.
Well, by now, the "turbosim" seems that is recognized since the phone after boot with my local network sim installed with turosim stick to it, dont asks for Unlock Network code, BUT also do not reognize my network and do not allow clas none any kind of connection except for dial 911/112 numbers.
At this point I wonder if this is due that the phone is in Subsidy mode after the initial failed attempts to unlock with codes of internet sellers (4 diferent sellers, all have the same 2 codes, and also both fails...).
So by now without be in USA and without be a Verizon Customer, seems that I really pissed...
By now, I would like too share my bad result in order to save some money to another friend around here that may be wonder about try this turbosim option...
As a last hope, I by now wonder if I may be somewhat better luck, if I try to flash the XT883 rom, so I wonder and ask if may be some help/ inof about:
1) Flashing the XT883, may be possible that reset the SUDSIDY mode status, so, may be possible to the turbosim to recognize my local networks and allow calls?connections?...
2) May be posible that the radio part of the XT883 flash could help with the point 1 or with try again the unlock codes?
3) Is the chinese Xt883 rom still in study/hacking process for some kind developer(s) around her that may have a help with the hard locked D3?
4) May be possible that flashing some kind of rom from motorola, may be possible that the unlock could be made with the codes available (that seems that are the Moto original ones, but that after a phone is activated in Verizon network, ?they could be changed by verizon system OTA)...
Thanks for any help and best regards!
Why mess with a turbosim when you can unlock the phone with 10$ ?
Hi Solutor!
Thanks for reply... well, in fact, turbosim was my last approach, since middle september, I pass the proccess of bought unlock codes from 4 different sellers on internet, and 2 of them sold me the same 2 codes, and both codes fails, and in fact put my phone in Subsidy mode... the other 2 sellers after I send the codes and IMEI of my phone in order that they check if they may have a different code, both reply me that they have also the same 2 codes that previously fails... this point was reached by october begins... so I look for an option and found about Turbosim partial success on Droid 2 forums, so try to research and try by bought one that may seems the more possible for droid 3... but no luck....
By now, as I said, my phone is still Locked + in Subsidy mode, and by now I wonders if a Radio section flashing may help in my case, with unlock (not every probably...) or at least to make the turbosim that I already have may be recognized my network... (not sure if could be a improve in some way...)
May You have knowledge of a unlock code provider, that may be recently succesfull in unlock a Droid 3, that was activated on verizon, and that after that, the D3 was succesfully unlocked meanwhile is on an outside USA verizon network?... if so, I am very glad if You could give some suggestion.
Anyway, over all, thanks again for take time to reply, and best regards to all around here too.

Ok, I understand.
I've unlocked w/o any problem my Droid 3 (in Italy)
http://www.motorola-unlocking.com/unlock_Motorola_Droid-3.html
and (few hours ago) a Droid 2 global, here
http://www.theunlockshack.com/
In the D2g case I used a different provider because the former (for unknown reasons) asks 10$ for D3 and 20$ for D2g
The sim I used was a Vodafone Italy one, in both cases, I don't know if that matters, but given the relation between Verizon and Vodafone I decided that a vodafone sim was better than another.
P.S. I have zero experience with turbosims so I can't help with it, sorry.
- Help! I bought a second hand D3 XT862 Verizone (World Version). Sometimes it let me input Unlock Code, sometimes it said that "Subsidy Lock".
- My friend told me that after 10 times wrong code input, the phone will be locked to the Verizon's Jail forever even after I input the right code. That's really scary!
- Anyways, I want to Unlock it to make it usable with any GSM Sim Card. But I don't know how.
- Where to buy Unlock Code? And how to check if my phone is locked to Verizon forever? Is cellunlocker.net real or scam? And do we have any other way to undo the "forever locked" things?
- I beg ya all for the answers! and please help me in details! Thank you!
There are some good links for unlock codes at Crackberry on the forums and they have a specific forum for SIM unlocking. Even though it is for Blackberries it will work for the Droid 3.
Sent from my XT862 using XDA App
I got a code from fleabay and the code works on the first try. I think it is not a good idea to try different codes.
I have never seen any definite answer on when (how many trys) it will be forever locked to Verizon but I would assume there is a definite number.

Hi guys. I also bought a code from ebay (from 2 different sellers) but neither code worked. One seller provided me with 1 code, the other with two. The one who provided two codes gave me one which was identical to the first seller's code and a second one which was completely different. Both codes were 8 characters long.
I can unlock the phone with a Turbo Sim but I get stability issues with custom roms (CM9 for example), so I'd really want to just unlock the phone via lock code. I tried inputting both 8 digit codes, then putting both codes doubled; that is each one with its line of 8 characters repeated to form a 16 digit unlock code. I heard sometimes that would work, but none of the codes was capable of unlocking my phone.
Do you guys know if it's possible that the phone won't unlock because I'm outside of Verizon network's coverage (I'm in Argentina) or is it plain and simple a matter of the codes being incorrect?
Thank you!
hello everyone. Has anyone had any problems network unlocking the RAZRi's? I bought the phone about 4 weeks ago from a t mobile customer. Im on the 3 network, so i paid and ordered for the unlocking code from cellunlocker.net. I recieved the code but it didnt seem to work, so i got the 16 digit unlock code from another website. Both party's have given me the same exact code and have confirmed this is the only unlock code for the phone. Whenever i enter the code on the unlock screen, nothing happens. i can enter any number any amount of times and the phone just reverts back to the unlock screen. Ive been messing around with this phone for nearly 4 weeks now trying to unlock it. I flashed different firmwares just incase it was a firmware related problem. Tried, GB Retail and Europe but no luck. Before a penalty timer used to kick in on the en.orange firmware after entering the code, now after flashing to GB and Europe and reflashing back to orange.en i dont get no penalty timers. Ive come to a point, where im thinking of selling the phone to tmobile/orange sim user and going out and buying a unlocked razr. Im just wondering, if i have hardlocked my phone? Ive been without my phone line for nearly a month now...Someone please help me
Hello, I was considering buying my phone locked on a network and using cellunlocker too.
Firstly, if you paid for their service, and it doesn't work - go back to them. Do that before you move on. They told me they can unlock the RAZR i. You are a paying consumer - you paid - they must deliver.
Don't imagine the worst; it's your phone network, it's this complicated phone/software etc. P.s. I have faith in these services normally, I think some of them are legitimate and some aren't.
Let us know what cellunlocker says. :good:

ok ive recieved my refund from cellunlocker.net yesterday and paid unlockerunit.com. Il see how it goes. i just hope they generate a different code compared to the last company. wish me luck
did you find a solution...?
Just like many other posters, I have a Moto X 1st generation locked to AT&T which has been impossible to unlock for over a year. The difference in this case is that I've had 2 different unlock codes, provided by AT&T on phone which have not worked, giving the same message as it ever did (after any random numbers or tried codes): "network unlock request unsuccessful". I am now searching for unnoficial alternatives, as I believe my phone might be defective. Any alternative or enlightment on what I might have done wrong would be deeply appreciated.
P.S.: I am not the original owner of the phone. It was bought by my aunt in USA and months later given to me, then I brought it to Brazil.
there are few websites which send codes if paid

I forgot the name of the site.
but I once bought a code for my friend's T-Mobile Note 3 from a site.
Received the code within 15 minutes of payment.
I will check with him whether he has that mail (to find the name of the site)

Hey nijom,
I already have the code. I found out it's always the same code for any phone, as it comes from its IMEI. Problem is, the code that should work gives out an error message instead. Thanks for your help anyway!

Hi,
I'm having a similar problem. Tried the codes (from AT&T and also another vendor) and it didn't work. It's possibly permanently locked but I can't confirm. Did you ever manage to solve your problem?
