Unlock lumia 520
I have been trying to unlock my nokia lumia 520 phone bought from AT&T with no luck. My region is blocked from paypal and so, I can't use ebay. Other sites are either too damn expensive or use paypal. What can I do?
Nokia Lumia 520 ATT
Hello Dear Fellow XDA Members,
I have confirmed PayPal account, let me know PLEASE how and where I may get the unlock code for ATT Nokia Lumia 520. I called ATT directly about 7 times already with no luck. They say it hasn't been in their network for long enough! ))

Hai, A simple way to unlock your Nokia Lumia 520 mobile you can using by unlock codes. If you need an unlock code you can get it from Simpleunlocking.com . Then they will send the code to your mail along with free instructions.

I have a Nokia Lumia 520 with Vodafone Germany Sim Lock. Someone knows how to unlock it?- a tutorial. Or knows a Unlock Service?
Thx
If you're in a region that the locking carrier operates in, you may be able to just take the phone to them, explain the situation, and get it unlocked. If not, you could try asking Nokia directly. Beyond that, the unlock codes usually leak pretty quickly, and even the really sketchy-looking online unlock services have been surprisingly honest in my experience, but the 520 may be too new for them.
hey. have you managed to unlock it? or can anyone tell how to do it? the operators asks for more than 50 euros to unlock it...
SIM Unlock Lumia 520
same problem here guys,
a friend of my brought from US a Nokia Lumia 520, as my request. I´m in Brazil, by the way.
But It came SIM Unlocked from AT&T. The phone works well, the only thing that it does not is calls and sms. But the rest is fine.
I contact AT&T but they wont give me the PIN number to unlock. (tried several times)
So I need to find some way to do that. Either getting the PIN number, or even formatting the cell, to a "pure" WP8 (as should be an original unlocked device) - installing the original WP8.
About the warranty, I dont care. I´m Brazil and will never get acess trough, if i need it.
I really apreciate if someone can give me a help here.
Cheers!

Well guys,
I was able to format my Nokia Lumia 520, using the Nokia Care Suíte.
I downloaded the original firmware, with no Crapware from AT&T and using the Nokia Care Suite I completed the formatting.
The phone is working as it should be. Even the AT&T welcome screen has gone. But, it still does ask for the PIN Number when I put a SIM card from my brazilian carrier.
So, NO, formatting the Nokia Lumia 520 WON´T unlock your PIN Number, as I was hoping.
I need some way to get this code, if anyone could help me, I really apreciate.
Cheers

After 24 months since delivery you can get the code for free:

Just enter your IMEI and the wesite will tell you the exact date.
Before that date it costs you EUR 100,

You may tell them you going to go somewhere for business trip and wish to use the phone. Request them to unlock the phone for you. Try call to AT&T.

Afraid not, there are some people working behind the scenes to get an unlock procedure sorted but as it stands WP 8.1 is pretty locked down.

Change / flash an ROM not desimlock the phone.
Use a specialized service, you can find tons on Internet.

I had my Lumia 635 unlocked using a 3rd party company. After the code was accepted the screen now shows "PUK required". I am overseas and I'm trying to use it with a foreign cellphone provider. Do I have to call AT&T to get the code? I thought PUK is SIM related? I don't have an account with AT&T nor their SIM.
Please advise. Thanks

PUK is a code required by your SIM card. Probably you use a prepaid one and it is not unusual such a card requests a PUK each time your phone wakes up or restarts. It probably has an option to cancel these requests, refer to card''s instructions or contact card provider's customer service for assistance. Use another SIM to confirm a PUK is not requested by it.
Hi guys,
I have a Nokia Lumia 635 (Windows 8.1), locked on Orange Romania. Is there a way to unlock it for free so I can use it on other networks?
I read a lot of "unlocking methods", "unlocking calculators", "unlocking whatever", in fact fakes to get money from you and I don't want to pay, I want to do it myself.
Any advice will be highly appreciated, thanks!

I see we're in the same difficult situation my friend.
Namely, I have a Lumia 625 which is locked to Slovenian operator (I don't exactly know which one).
Nevertheless, I would also like to unlock it myself (with a little help from more experienced members) to save the money and get a good feeling like 'yeah man I did it myself'
So, if anyone can help, now is the rigt time to speak up
There is no other way, only your operator can do it.

Wow, thanks a lot, you ruined all my hopes in one sentence - pretty cruel move
Anyway, I can't go to operator because i'm in Serbia, and the phone is locked to Slovenian operator. So, what now, should I plan a trip to Slovenia or something?

for Slovenia (or any EU country) if you want operator unlock your device, you must proof of purchase to free unlock device...
for your case, best solution is pay for unlock code...

Yes, that would be jus' dandy, if only I haven't bought this phone for 30 euros, from some guy I barely knew. That is the main reason why I am trying to do this free of charge, 'cause the unlock code would cost me more then the freakin' phone.. -.-
So, both of your suggestions are out, if someone has some other idea, it will be appreciated
if you get any proof of purchase from previous owner, you can online ask operator for unlock code but seems you not get any proof....
thats all, no other idea, no free unlocks... buy unlock code or sold phone...

Thanks mate, but I believe there must be a way. I'm not that bad at programming, so I'll play around and try to come up with something. Someone's gonna crack it sooner or later, and I don't mind it being me
"NOTE: I found out that my carrier is actually not from Slovenia, rather from Austria. It was called Mobilkom, and now it is A1 Telekom Austria. If someone can get me unlocked with this carrier, it would be a kick-ass situation

you can search XDA and whole internet but no free way to unlock WP phone...
people who buy used WP device must be very careful to check SIM lock status and reset protection status...

Ok, I checked reset status and it is OFF. One less thing to worry about.
I know it's hard to stumble upon, but I heard of some people at underground forums (unlike this one), which can give you code if they're in the mood
And it sounds quite impossible to me, that no one on the whole internet hasn't come up with a solution for this problem. It would be quite devastating.
unlock for sure

any luck? did it work?
Hello,
So I have Nokia Lumia 520 in my drawer for a year now and decided to do something with it maybe use it for something or sell it because phone is new. But the problem is that it is locked on O2 network UK. Since its been some time from its release maybe there is a ways of unlocking it for free? If no then maybe can someone offer good and cheap service where can I buy the unlock code.
Thank you.

you can not unlock using C:/DPP/NOKIA/simlock due file encryption.... For now there is no public solution for sim unlocking
Can you offer a site where can I get unlock code for a good price?

If you want to pay for unlocking , I do not recommend internet... maybe you should go to a local phone service to get unlocked.
Or why not just ask your mobile operator for unlocking? After some time, some mobile operators do unlock phone for free if they are requested

Thing is I bought this phone in the UK then I moved to other country.
So not sure that can I still get unlock code from O2 since the phone is not even in the UK.
