They all say that you should type in Terminal Emulator on phone:
su
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p6
and you should find in bounch of numbers the 8 digit number above the IMEI and that should be the unlock code. I tried that but can't find either the imei or unlock code. The mmcblk0p6 file IS in /dev/block. Any solution?

Thanks for the info, my SXL is already unlocked, but following this pattern i will look into the phone to find the partition we use, and will post here my findings and you can test the solution.

Using this
Code:
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7
you will find the same things as you find in this thread.
Personally i got the CID, some code, the IMEI and other stuff under it, so i believe the thing above the IMEI should be the unlocking code, but not it is made from 8 digits and should not be the one that starts with lots of 000 (i got that too )
I would apreciate if you could provide a screenshot, as i have an unlocked phone and it could be different at you.

Note that i'm using the ICS Radio and .28 Hboot, don't know if things are different on other Radion or Hboot versions, but i just wanted to put it here

Ok, thanks.
I tryed this:
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7
and i actually got the 8 digit code above the imei, but first 5 digits are 0, don't know if i should try that code. Here is screenshot.

I also got the exact same code above the imei.... hmm...

Are you S-OFF?

That is not my code, then
Yes, I am s-off.

Have you tried a different SIM since you S-OFF'ed your device? It seems that on some device, the device becomes sim-unlocked when you S-OFF it.

Yes i tried it, and i tried it again just now, it is sim-locked.
I tried this:
sh /sdcard/simfinder.sh
in the link you posted, and got bounch of 8 digits numbers from mmcblk0p29. Maybe there is unlock code, but which one?

Maybe I have to be in stock rom to find unlock code, or it doesn't matter?

29 is the data partition, there is no chance to find the unlock code there... Don't have any ideea for now, it could be done in another way but will need to investigate further.

Problem is I don't think you can find the code unless your device is locked to a specific carrier.
Sent from my Sensation XL using XDA Premium HD app

I am locked to carrier, maybe we can compare some data from mmc?

Strange thing happened today, when i try the other sim card and restart the phone, don't got message "network is locked" and dialpad to enter the code, instead got locked screen, in status bar no network, but when tried to unlock the screen it was unresponsive! So, no screen and soft buttons are working, only power and volume button does, and i can't unlock screen and can't use phone in any way. When i remove that sim and put the one from my carrier or no sim at all, everything back to normal, i tried that couple of times. Just to mention, i DID NOT enter any unlock code ever, just to try. Why that happened?
EDIT: just flash another rom and it is ok, got the "enter unlock code" screen.

I bought unlock code online from trusted source, but doesn't work. I was on aosp rom but read somewhere that you must be on sense rom to accept the code. So i flash some sense rom, not working again. Then i tried ics stock rooted rom, no good, then tried gb stock rooted rom, because the phone was on gb rom when it's locked, no good. Then i found somewhere that some other devices accepted the code when you flash different radio, so i tried that, no good either. Then i relocked bootloader and flash gb ruu, no good, then flash ics ruu, guess what, no good. I tried everything but the code seems to be false.

hi there, I'm working on a method to unlock the samsung galaxy W 8150 device and am interested in your findings. what's this about a 'sense' rom? do you simply mean a stock sensation XL rom? thanks,
Foxy

Yes, i mean the stock rom the phone came with from factory, basically that must be the rom that was on the phone when it is locked.

What happened is he messed up HTC Partition and RSA keys of the phone, you re-flashed HTC partitions while resurrection in wich case belive, there´s no much to search

you must purchase a sim-unlock code. S-OFF/supercid/root will not sim-unlock the phone.
you must be as close as possible to 100% stock to use the unlock code. Anyway try it, if id doesn't work then go back to stock and re-enter the unlock code.

Thanks for trying to help me! The issue is, that there is no Unlock Code for this IMEI, I tried 5 differnt suppliers and noone could provide a code.
I guess the reason for that is the device is brand new...

in this case you could try the SIEEMPI method. The HTC ONE isn't listed on that page but many users reported that it works (in this thread)

I tried that, but I get an error when hit SIMLOCK, see screenshot. Also, the Config.dat file isnt there afterwards, tried to push it via adb to /root but it says "Read Only File-System". Am I doing something wrong? Transferred the file via usb on SD-Card and then copied it via ES Explorer to the root folder. Any Clue? Thanks.

Thats the error message.

the procedure is a bit different for the HTC One, you have to copy the .dat file to a fat32 hard drive connected to your phone with a usb Y-cable. take a look at the thread I have linked above, read the last few pages.

sieempi method(s-off only)

alray, I've tried everything. I've purchased sim unlock and it doesn't work. Probably my carrier have changed factory code. Also about sieempi method, I can't get s-off. Tried around 20 roms and bootloaders, and still cannot s-off.

Have you tried another sim unlock code?
Have you tried sunshine method to s-off?
Normally you can also get your device sim-unlocked from your carrier. They are charging like 50$ here where I live, Its ridiculously expensive but at least they can do it.

I've tried firewater method, but won't work. I've read about Sunshine method, but I'm not sure. I will pay 25$ for s-off (not sure if it work) and after that sieempi method, again not sure if it work. I am looking for sure combination. I don't have nerves left to try anymore

and you have another thread here which is the same exact question posted a few hours ago, next time bump your thread instead of creating new one

My carrier says that I need to wait one year till the end of contract, and then they will give me unlock code. Can you point me to some good unlocking service to purchase unlock code?

like said on Sunshine website (first line), you'll only by charged if the exploit work theroot.ninja.
And afaik, sieempi worked for everyone who tried it. Just follow instructions from that thread and it will work. I think cIsA can help you with sieempi (think he used it to unlock his phone)
Here are some example of how you can unlock with sieempi:

quick solution is to try another code or sunshine s-off + sieempi.
Normally you must be on stock rom to use a sim unlock code but it should also work on close-to-stock roms like arhd

make sure you have the material required for the sieempi procedure. I think you'll need and Y-OTG usb cable + external HDD

I,m not 100% sure k-t-b as I'm new to Motorola devices but I managed to unlock the bootloader with fastboot oem ulock "unlock code" so I assumed you could change the CID the same way

No, that won't work on the X. Sorry..

mak,
Sorry to bring up such an old post, but did you ever get this resolved? I'm researching a similar issue.
Thanks!

No sorry erikivy not sorted yet think I have fxxked the device I was told by a guy in a shop in London I would have to give the phone
a new identity IMEI no. I think ? not sure if he knew what he was talking about but I think that's illegal in the UK and I don't really want to go down that route.
I think the fastboot oem command needs to be looked into and I'm not really up on Moto Devices
I'm playing with HTC M8 at the moment much more easy to customise in my opinion but I will get back to the moto when I have time
sorry couldn't be more helpfull
