So i bought this sgs6 edge device from telus canada.
brought it back home, had the unlock code (also bought from telus and several sim free unlocking sites) and the device just keep poping up the same massage: "network unlock code unsuccessful"
tried every guide on youtube and on any forum i found online, nothing helped.
All the methods, through the dailer, everything.
Can someone please guide me how to sucssesfuly unlock my device?
Many thanks!
Sounds like you got a bad code. You should request a refund and buy one from another vendor. Be careful entering the code too many times. After 10 (I believe) it locks and you can never sim unlock it.

Is the phone paid in full?
The only reason I ask is that I bought an AT&T Nexus 6 shortly after they were released. That's the only Nexus not sim unlocked and my condition on purchase was for the seller to unlock it. We met at an AT&T store, I popped in my Verizon sim and the seller gave me the code. I tried it a few times but the code kept coming back unsuccessful. He called AT&T for the correct code and lady told him she couldn't give it to him because it wasn't paid off (although they had previously given it to him). After some conversation, he eventually gave them his CC # to pay it off. They then provided the exact same code. I hesitantly tried it again and it worked.
I also recently learned that the T-Mobile S6 Edge doesn't take an unlock code at all. It must be unlocked by T-Mobile or it can't be unlocked at all.
Perhaps the carrier is somehow keeping it locked front their end?

So you simply say i have to call them and fully pay it off, so they would relese some sort of lock they have on the device and then i would be able to open it with the exact same code?
If thats true thats might work. I'll try it and update for any changes. Many thanks!
Hey man, my phone is fully paid in. I talked to telus and they said the sim unlock is aprooved in thier computers so what is the problem?

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...?
Ugggg.... I've checked and although there is talk of help with unlocking, I don't see this specifically, so forgive if I missed it....
I did my first post a week or so ago when I had just bought a MyTouch that my son got to and, well, we ended up ordering a digitizer and spending hours trying to fix that one (the glue was CRAZY!).... Well, that didn't work.
I bought an Atrix HD off craigslist, yes locked. I love it, but now have tried two unlock companies and neither could come up with a code. AT&T can't tell me why (or so they say) that they say it's "unlockable".....
So, am I two for two - with another phone that I can't use or am I missing something.
Thanks so much - I really want to use this phone.

Recently, I bought a Motorola Flipout for my mom, and I have to admit that I am a Motofan and I bought more than 30 Motorolas in the past 2 years, ranging from 15 dollar to 425 dollars, all Androids. But this Flipout gave me some problems...
It was carrier locked to ATT, I'm using Telcel GSM, so I just bought the unlock code and put it on the phone like all the Androids I had, I tought it's was going to be easy, but I was wrong.
The first seller told me he didn't found the code, so i was refunded my 3.99, then the second seller told me the same, refunded me 7.99, I was like crazy, how no one can found the code for this now obsolete and old 2.1 phone?
I found this site: Cellunlocker.net and I bought the code from there, it cost me 7.99 dollar, and after 12 hours they gave me 2 codes, they didn't work, I was like crazy, how can even be possible I can't get an unlock code for this? In the same site, there's an extra option called "Manufacturer / Code Not Found" method. It's the most expensive than the carrier method, but it's more effective, the code for the Flipout with this method cost me 32.99 but it was valid. I recommend you this site if the ebay sellers can't find the unlock code for your Atrix, only you need paypal.

Well I tried AT&T again - figured it was worth a shot. They took my name, cell number, ime # on the atrix..... she came back with "This phone is unlockable and will NEVER be able to be unlocked."
Is this true or just what they say????
Ugggg....
Mmm... what are you want to do exactly? sim-unlock? I mean, if you want to buy an unlock code for your phone, you just need the model, the original carrier that is locked to, and the imei, just that, they give you the unlock code based on the imei code...

I have used two unlock companies. Both come back saying they can't produce a code and at&T says it is was manufactured as "an unlockable device", which sounds strange to me.....
I don't know the personal "history" of the phone other than it's relatively new - obviously... but have no idea about "developer" editions or anything like that..... Is it possible that a phone was "made unlockable"??

Don't worry, I use this phone on T-Mobile. It is unlockable. I too had two other companies fail to find the code and have to issue me a refund. I also spent a LONG time on the phone with AT&T who eventually said they couldn't unlock it because it was such a new model and they "reserved the right to keep it locked for up to a year". But the third company I tried, americanunlocker.com finally got me my unlock code and it worked fine. I'm now rockin T-Mobile's $30 plan on my AT&T Atrix HD. The unlock only cost me $15.

You Rock.....It took 5 days of "calculating unlock code" from AMERICAN UNLOCKERS..... but THEY DID IT!!!!
So definitely worth the $14.99!!! especially after 2 others who couldn't do it and 2 phone calls to AT &T where they were telling me it was unlockable for unknown reasons the first time and "would never be unlockable" on the second try!!!

Is everyone else getting a 5-day turnaround time from American Unlocker? I bought the code last Friday, and it's now Wednesday and they still haven't sent me the code. I'm starting to get worried since they said it would take 1-3 days.
It's been 10 days now since I placed my order with American Unlocker. Still no unlock code, and no reply to my messages via email, the fake "Live support" window, posts on their Facebok page, and messages to their Facebook profile. They don't pick up the phone either.
I finally got the code from American Unlocker, and it worked. They took their sweet time, but they delivered
I had the AT&T Galaxy Note and was able to get the SIM unlock code by calling them.
However, for the S4 Active, I couldn't. Called twice and the respond is that "we do not give out unlock code for this phone".

AT&T has an online unlock request form - can't hurt to try that...
Not sure if I can post links, so just Google "AT&T online unlock".

Same here. I'd call back until you get a rep that knows what they're doing. As long as you bought the phone at retail price and have the receipt they will give you the code. I had no problem getting 2 of them done while I was in Hawai'i and I'm not an ATT cust whatsoever (aside from buying the S4As)
But does the phone do wifi tether now?
Thanks for the help guys. I did the chat on AT&T website and got the code.
Is the only way to unlock the AT&T Nexus 6 by inserting another carrier's SIM and entering the unlock code? Or is there a way to bring up a service menu and enter the SIM unlock without another carrier's SIM?
Edit: Thread bumped with more info. See last post.
Anyone?

No SIM UNLOCK message on AT&T Nexus 6
I have a Nexus 6 that was on my wife's plan and she haulled ass on me, turning off my phone in the process. it has no sim unlock message but is still blacklisted. Is this the same as SIM LOCK? I've tried to get it to display the sim unlock code, even factory resetting won't produce one. What the !#$% over?

no. blacklisted and sim locked are two unrelated things. if it gets blacklisted, most likely it wont work on any US carrier(or many international carriers). sim locked means its locked to work only on att(until its paid off, then att unlocks it).
Bumping my old thread here. I got a SIM unlock code from AT&T and attempted entering it 3 times, but each time got a "Network unlock request unsuccessful." You only get 5 attempts before the device is permanently locked to AT&T. I did escalate the issue with them, but it's going to take at least a week to get back to me. I am on CM12.1, does this only work on stock?

I was on stock, rooted and the unlock code from AT&T worked fine. I'm no expert, but it's hard for me to understand why it would matter if you were running a custom ROM.
Have you considered taking it into an AT&T store with your unlock code and asking one of their techs for assistance?

I don't have a lot of time to drop by an AT&T store, so that's why I called them up. The issue has been escalated, so hopefully they can fix whatever they need to on their end. If they can't I'll stop in a store after.

They might have gave u a wrong code. I've had that before. See if they can verify the code or try cellunlocker to see if they give u a different code. Make a backup and flash a stock ROM to be safe

So, I used up 4 of my 5 unlock attempts on CM before flashing back to stock. IT DID work on stock. I don't know why this makes a difference, but I hope this helps others as well.
So I messed up and bought an AT&T Nexus 6 on Swappa. IMEI checked out okay and all looked good. Seller said he'd used it on Verizon and was a nice guy.
Decided a little later to try out T-Mobile service and it turns out it is still carrier locked to AT&T. They (AT&T) have told me several different stories, but the latest one is that the original owner has to call and request the unlock. Well the person I bought it from bought it used ... And he's been trying to, I presume, find the original owner to see about him getting it unlocked.
Anyway, I messed up and I have learned not to trust an IMEI alone. But does anyone have any suggestions? I tried two unlocking services and they each took a week and came back with unable to unlock and gave a refund. AT&T unlock site says they can't locate the IMEI.
Anyone been through this? When I insert a sim it requests a sim unlock code. With my Verizon sim, I can make and receive calls and texts if I dismiss the sim unlock prompt, but no data. I can't even find where to enter APN settings to try that out.
At my wits end.

i think you can just use a sim unlock website idk a trustworthy one though
I would tell the person you bought it from to take it back. If he refuses dispute it through PayPal and they will side with you, have him pay return shipping, and refund your money out of his PayPal account once the delivery is confirmed by the shipping service. I think you have 180 days to file a dispute through PayPal. PayPal is extremely biased for buyers, which works in your favor in this case.
Whether that guy knew or not isn't important. He sold you a phone without disclosing that it was sim locked. Not to mention if you're seeing the error on verizon then so was he (he scammed you). Either way that's his problem to figure out after you get your money back.
Also please leave this information in his feedback on swappa. Those of us who buy and sell every month or more need honest feedback to know who to avoid.

Yup. They were the second. They couldn't do it. So they refunded. The IMEI isn't blacklisted so I really don't know what's up.
And the fact that I can call and text with Verizon, but only data is blocked, is weird. The phone registers on Verizon's network and shows up in My Verizon under my account.

It has to be SIM locked.
T-Mobile SIM won't register on the network at all even though it's an active SIM. The T-Mobile SIM works in my other phones. Verizon SIM registers but no data available, and it still prompts me for a SIM unlock code even though I can make and receive calls and send and receive texts.
Honestly, if there's a work-around out there I'm down to find out. I can't even locate the APN settings on this thing ... Had to go in through a Nova Launcher widget.

Luckily you bought from Swappa. They should hook you up. Then buy new from Playstore for discounted price. If it was cheaper there is a reason. Or find a swappa seller with a good history.

The seller has a good history, and has been communicating with me. I just don't know if he really knew how not unlockable this phone is. AT&T did a number on it, first with the extra software and then with the aggressive carrier lock. I'm not used to carrier locked phones since I'm on Verizon. They don't do that.

Don't wait for Swappa. They really don't have any leverage. You need to raise a dispute on PayPal. They have the leverage to get you your money back.

They require that they are notified first. Then Pay Pal. It's fine.

You are correct. Swappa will work out fine with a cooperative seller. But if the seller proves to be uncooperative at any point, they have no means to help further. If one opens a dispute on PayPal, it can be cancelled at any time. In a case like this, I'd start with PayPal now.

I believe your phone is SIM unlocked. Before unlocking mine, if I inserted a VZW SIM, I got a popup with something like "unauthorized SIM. Enter unlock code to continue".
I don't follow. If it prompted you before you unlocked it it would have been SIM locked. SIM unlocked devices don't prompt you to enter a network or SIM unlock code.

Correct. I am saying that it appears that your N6 is unlocked.
Nope it appears that mine is SIM locked. Not unlocked because if it was I wouldn't be prompted to enter the code. And it would have data on any active SIM. I'm going to try a refund. If that doesn't work, maybe someone with AT&T will want one. For a great price. Ugh.
