Hi,
My Atrix HD is subsidy locked... I have read every post regarding this but they were a little bit old and with no solution... Anyone knows if there is a solution now?
I am BL unlocked running Cyanogen. I live overseas so I can't send it back to ATT...
Tried SBF back, change modem, etc... no success... A new motherboard is on it's way but I wanted to know if this one is fixable...
Best Regards!
I think you should buy an unlock code.
You don't need to send it to att. You should be able to just call them.

When subsidy locked you dont have the chance to input any code...
If i could i would buy the code alright...

O.. Somehow missed that why did you put that wrong code in that many times?

My brother did it... We had a code but it did not work (or was misspelled) and he putted to many times...
This seems to be a hard lock, maybe an e-fuse or something...
It seems that there is no way back for this. On the original Atrix, you only needed to flash a different modem from another carrier...
What do you think if i flash a Bell modem.bin or a Telcel radio... I can try that... After all i am BL unlocked and i can always flash the original modem again...

I haven't heard of that working, I assume that if it worked most of us would be unlocked by now.

No... I just want to be able to input the unlock code...
Right now it's hard locked and when i use any SIM card phone says "subsidy locked, please contact your provider". I cant enter the unlock code i bought...
If i flash a different modem/radio from a different provider i might "reset" the counter and i might be able to enter the unlock code i bought.
On the original Atrix MB860 flashing a radio from a different provider allowed to reset the counter and let enter the unlock code a few more times...

I tried everything... unlocked bootloader, changed radio, everything and could not unlock it...
If you time "#73887*" you can input code but will not unlock it.

I think you need to be on a stock rom in order to carrier unlock the phone.
same problem

I unlocked my phone while it was on 2.2 using glaxy s unlock app from market.The other day i flashed ICSSGS RC4.1 rom and it changed my IMEI. Is my phone still unlocked?? I checked the rom's zip file and it doesnt contain efs folder which should mean that it didnt overwrite efs folder that contains unlock data. So my phone shouldnt be relocked right (i hope not because i need to use it in Europe in couple weeks ) ???
I'm interested in the answer to this as well. I unlocked mine whilst in gingerbread....but now that i have upgraded to ICS....is my phone still unlocked? I don't think my IMEI changed though....
I unlocked mine in froyo and its still unlocked..I am on ICS now....

Typically, once unlocked, always unlocked.

Interesting. I unlocked mine in GB and updated to ICS over the weekend. Wanting to order up a straight talk sim and try it. I did verify that my IMEI matches what it is supposed to be. Hopefully it remains unlocked. I guess worse case is I have to drop back to 2.3.
Have yet to find a *# combo that will show you the lock status in ICS.
Did it change your IMEI back to 04999...whatever. If so, flash again because that is the default IMEI, mine did that before and I just reflashed from a stock oneclick. I think it somehow doesn't read the IMEI correctly sometimes. You might try one clicking back to GB(without bootloaders if you've already got them) and then diagnose from there.
Whenever I flash back to stock using odin, it relocks. But I have my code handy.
I ordered and installed a Straight Talk 'AT&T' sim this week. Everything is working as it should. I did check the hex code and the unlock bit was set, however, I have heard that the ST sim cards are unlocked so you don't necessarily need an unlocked phone. It doesn't really verify that I'm still unlocked, but I thought I would mention that in my case, I had no problems.
I have a DROID 3 test target got from my frnd who is working in Motorola.
After searching the forum, I got to know that we can unlock the phone by entering the unlock code.
But my SIM cards (Tried Vodafone, Airtel India GSM SIM cards) neither asking for any unlock code nor detecting the network in GSM mode. (In Global mode it is showing some signal, but it is using CDMA. Couldn't able to make any calls)
Please let me know
How to unlock the phone?
Is there any other way to unlock the phone without entering unlock code?
Try flashing an 883 radio and using the TMobile/AT&T guide.

Well, if its unlocked via imei, Im safe to unlock the bootloader... at least thats as far as I could gather by all the info scattered around.
To help narrow down the possible unlock method used, I can add that whenever the phone is rebooted, and there is a sim from a different Service Provider than the "original" one, it asks for a network unlock code. By tapping "skip" the phone then boots up and works just fine with any other Service Provider's sim.
This leads me to believe the phone was unlocked by other means than IMEI. And hence, all hopes of unlocking the bootloader are obliterated.

Well, I still don't know what method was used to apply the simunlock, but, I was able to find out that my bootloader is unlocked.
So, that's cool :cyclops:

Nice! Have fun!
My bootloader allowed lock says no but o2 on pay monthly say I can still unlock my bootloader. They took my imei number and are processing the lock and I have to wait for a email and this can take 7 working days to process. Has any one else done this? As I'm still in my 14 day peace of mind and might send back but they do say will be able to unlock my bootloader
Edit
Just had a email to unlock my phone to any network so just unlocked and it still says bootloader unlock allowed no
But they said I could, do I just try it?

No they don't, the code you have isn't for unlocking the bootloader, just the SIM.
Before even trying to unlock the BL, I'd suggest your TA partition just in case.
Mine also said no at first, but I was still able to unlock it.

Who did you get the phone from? Mine is from Three UK and resolutely does not let me unlock the bootloader. Did you use the Sony method? Which rom etc?

Hmm stock Rom unbranded, bought it in the Netherlands. Most people here that bought the same phone aren't able to unlock their BL, maybe I just got lucky. The trick that worked for me was simply rooting the phone.

I think you did just get lucky or you just got a sim free handset by the luck of the draw. Which root method did you use? Someone else posted that they tried a specific combo of roms and two tries to unlock before it worked but never fed back any more info so it is possible there is an exploit somewhere.

Used the one I attached, can't really remember the topic.
Need to have USB debugging on.
Cheers. And the exact process? Step by step. I know it is tedious but it may be the tiniest thing (eg when you detached the usb cable or whether the sd card was in) that holds the secret.

Give up chasing it, if it was at all possible then it would have been figured out by now.

I really don't remember, since I've unlocked my BL I just flash a zip to get root back.
I firmly believe in Xda being able to make the impossible, possible. And there are no flawless systems. However I get what you mean, and don't think anyone is going to push on it now. Xperia Z is still a great phone and here is hoping the upcoming Google Edition will give us with locked bl more choice.

I will advice you to get a different unlock code provider as the one that told you that is truly insane. Yes you can unlock your phone rooted and/or bootloader unlocked. The only thing that you need to be on stock ROM from att in order to work.

So like 5 times total I'm guesting.
Got another question.Do you think if I get the 2 unlimited lines with T-Mobile and use the other line in a AT&T unlocked 4GLTE mifi it will work and I can have unlimited data that way and cut wifi off at home.Do you think it will work?
