Hey everyone !
I bought LG G2'S to replace this phone a while ago, but I wanted to give my adored 4X a new life by putting another sim from a different network. Mine is locked. Is tehre a way of doing it without paying for those codes?

Hi-
I've searched around, but haven't been able to find any info on this particular scenario.
I've just upgraded my two G1s to G2s. I'd like to sell the G1s, but want to unlock them first. Is there any way to unlock them, since they've been "deactivated"?
Both are rooted, running Cyanogen 6.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nipper
Of course you can! Phones are not deactivated, they are just not used at this point.
Call T-mobile and ask them for unlock codes. If they give you any crap, politely tell them that you did buy the phones from T-mobile and they have to give you those codes by law. You should get them within 3-4 days. Put different sim card in the phone to unlock it, it will ask you for a that code. Any sim card other then T-mobile will do (even if the phone doesn't support it, like Nextel's sims). AFAIK, you can not do it without non-Tmobile sim though.
Good luck.
Thanks - could I just borrow a friend's SIM temporarily, just to unlock?
As long as it's not T-mobile's sim - it will work.
Thanks, I'll do that!
Hi all,
I just brought a Xperia Z on eBay locked to Orange UK network.
Does anyone know where I can get an un-lock code for the phone?
I don't mind paying, just want to find a fast and reliable un-locking service.
Many thanks
P.S. Orange UK needs the phone to be registered for at lest 6 months before they will unlock it. So its no go there.
Has any one used HtcCode.com?
It seems they can unlock the Xperia Z between 1 to 3 days for around £25.
I'd be grateful for any feedback on HtcCode.com.
I'd like to know that as well...
I got the unlock code but don't know where to put the code.. Any ideas?
when you insert another sim card ( other than the one from the carrier you bought the device from) it will ask you to put the unlock code
Is it possible to have free sim unlock?
I posted a thread about this before,but I'm making another thread similar to this issue. At one point I bought my first Atrix HD which was locked only to AT&T. The guy sold it to me and he was still under contract so therefore I couldn't get it unlocked for T-Mobile. The guy also lied to me. He gave me non working sim codes and it subsidy locked the phone permanently since he gave me 4 of them.
I ended up buying another Atrix HD on CL already unlocked,but I no longer have the unlocked Atrix HD then I switch to a Optimus G and now I have a Nexus 4. I could always sell the G,but the subsidy locked on the Atrix needs to be resolved first before I sel it.I contacted AT&T again and they told me as long as you have a active AT&T Sim card it will work. I got my buddy's AT&T sim card and its still locked.
It won't even give me an option or prompt me to put in codes to unlock it anymore with with both at&t and t-mobile. They told me to call Motorola. Thank god the phone is still under warranty and they decide to re-flash the phone. It was 2 months ago when I spoke to them. They still haven't issued my repaired ticket and shipping info to send out the phone. I follow up every now and then and always the same excuse. They say exactly this.
" Your phone is currrently still under warranty,but we have not schedule you for a repair yet. Please wait for a response from the engineer techs."
Its been way over 3 months and always the same answer. I am getting tired of waiting.
Has anyone found a solution to this yet?
Hi everyone,
i got a Sprint HTC One M8 from ebay, it is new but i was planning to use it on AT&T network, since it have a Sim Card Slot. Furthermore, even though i'm living on the US now, i'm from Brazil and i was planning to use the phone there as well.
And now starts the problem.
I called the previous owner, asked him to contact sprint to make the sim unlock procedure. He did so, providing me the MSL for the phone. The next step, he said, was to "flash" the phone on AT&T in order to get it connected to their network. I tried several sims, even bought a new one and activated it but with no success.
I spend almost 2 hours on the phone with the sprint's international support, and all they said was that they did everything that they could about unlocking my phone and now i should contact AT&T.
I'm afraid of staying on this infinite loop and i want your opinion.
Does anyone in fact unlocked their SPRINT phone to use on another GSM US carrier? If yes, what did you do? Because i'm planning to return the phone and ask for my money back.
BUT, with the "International Unlock" i should be able to use the phone on ANY international carrier? Because if that is the case, maybe i keep the phone to use when i go back to Brazil.
Thank you very much!

On the CDMA version of the M8, it lacks the LTE bands needed for Domestic carriers. You can use it overseas somewhat, but not too well. If I was you, I'd grab a Droid Turbo for ~$200-$250 off eBay. It just recently got its bootloader unlocked finally

Upon boot, unless there is a sim card in both slots, it will give a notification saying no sim in slot 2, this is normal and the device will work fine still.
