I can only repeat nemo4. If you have a locked phone, the best way to unlock is via an unlock code. There are numerous sites on the net offering unlock codes. Google is your friend.
Hello,
I bought a Motorola Milestone locked on Orange Romania. It had Android 2.1.
I rooted the phone and i installed the CyanogenMod 7.0.1 with Android 2.3.3.
This are the actual specifications:
Baseband: 3GSMEPU91A_U_91.09.04I
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9-g11068ed
I ordered an unlock code from unlocking website (no way that i have entered a wrong IMEI or network operator) and it doesn't work. I turn on the phone with a Vodafone Romania and Cosmote Romania SIMs, i enter the SIM's PIN and then an message appears: "SIM network unlock PIN". I enter the code received from unlocking and this message appears: "Network Unlock Request Unsuccessful". I search on the internet and i found a solution for Motorola CLIQ by Yakk but no solution for Milestone.
I tried to reflash a lot of Android versions (2.2, 2.1, 2.0.1 from Central Europe, Africa, UK, France, CyanogenMod 7.1.0 - Android 2.3.4) but no luck.
What should i do?
Thank you very much!
I forgot to add: bootloader 0.78
Nobody?
Hello again!
I fixed the problem. I ordered another unlock code, but this time for GSM Liberty. It worked like a charm.
so,bottom line,only gsmliberty can provide unlock codes for milestone?i have the same network from romania and i didn't find any unlocking code generators.
Hello, I have a rooted Telus Motorola Milestone running a custom 2.3 rom(can't recall which one atm), if there a way to unlock the sim restriction so I can use the phone with other carriers without having to go to one of those sites where I enter my IMEI and pay for a code.
I was just about to buy a xt 1058 sim unlocked, just now i find out people are saying that with the 1058 you cant unlock the bootloader, for the at&t variant?... but the phone is unlocked free for any carrier, so the bootloder cant be unlocked in this phone? please help i need to know this
Sorry my bad english
Correct, the only way at present to unlock the bootloader on the xt1058 is to pay for the Sunshine app, http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/request-help-exploit-moto-x-bl-t2828471 but only if your phone's version is prior to 4.4.4, though it appears it's "possible" it can work with 4.4.4

Its a Sim unlocked phone (no carrier) but the number is still 1058, im in Latin America, the phone has no logos in the back, i think only the verizion and at&t versions can't be unlocked... but i dont know, so ALL 1058 have the bootloader locked?
I guess if your carrier can provide the unlock code, but I believe not from Motorola
Just check which model you have.
If its an XT1058, its the AT&T model. You can request a sim unlock code from AT&T free of charge directly here: https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/?#/
Otherwise, buy it from ebay for around 10$
Now if you want to unlock the bootloader to flash different firmwares, AT&T phones (XT1058) don't allow that by getting the code from Motorola directly, so you need to use a tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/request-help-exploit-moto-x-bl-t2828471
It costs 25$ and it only works on phones that have an android OS lower than 4.4.4 installed!
To expand on what @dagoban said...
SIM Lock/Unlock (aka Carrier unlock) is different from Bootloader Lock/Unlock.
SIM Unlock is usually possible by buying the code from many 3rd party web sites on the internet. And sometimes your carrier will supply the code (you may have to meet carrier requirements) for free or a small fee.
When it comes to Bootloader unlocking, that is only needed if you want to easily root, or the ability to flash a custom recovery (Like TWRP, CWM, Philz) or 3rd party ROM (like CM).
For the Developer Editions Moto X, and some carrier editions (Like T-Mobile, Sprint, Rogers Canada, and others), Motorola freely gives away the BootLoader Unlock codes when requested On Motorola's Web Site. In the case of the Non-Developer Editions, it voids their warranty to request the code.
I'm not going to go into the reasons why, but Moto does NOT give out the bootloader unlock code for the Retail and Moto Maker X for Verizon, ATT, Republic Wireless and a few other carriers. For these you need to rely on someone finding a HACK( Sunshine was mentioned) but this can often times have requirements/restrictions. At one time, someone got a hold of Moto's Bootloader Unlock code database, and was selling codes to Verizon, ATT, etc users who couldn't otherwise unlock their bootloader, but this has since stopped.
I'm tired of the failed attempts to unlock the motorola droid 3 XT862 verizon model, it is working on Verizon GSM only and i need unlock it, root also.
Up, any help?
