Hi, i recently bought a Motorola XT1097 on ebay that is at&t sim locked.
I tried to get the unlock code from them, but they answered to me that they cant provide it because that imei is not on their network. I tried others page to get the unlock code with no success.
The phone now has the bootloader unlocked and is rooted, is there any other method to unlock it without needing to have the code? I searched through the forum but couldnt find any answers.
Thanks!
Anyone? :crying:
I Just Have the Same Problem, but my is from CANADA. I try more than 10 service for unlock, contact a Motorola LatinAmerica, Canada, Usa, and the most biggest carrier from Canada, USA and LatinAmerica and anyone can check the imei and either get a unlock code.

How you know it's locked too att? :/ reboot into bootloader menu and check barcodes there will be your model if it was att then you shouldn't get unlock code for bootloader as att doesn't allow it, also try 3rd party unlocl code from motorola database.. I guess its 3$ i use unlockbase.com as its relaible for me. Hope it will help you too
I unlocked it via sunshine, its the only way to unlock xt1097 of at&t right now. I have tried lots of 3rd party with no result.

Cell Unlocker says they have the unlock code for the Vivid with a 100% guarantee and they say it's permanent. Is this the same unlock code that we need?

That's likely a SIM unlock code, which will allow the phone to work with a carrier other than the one that sold it. There's also a bootloader unlock code that we're supposed to be able to get direct from HTC at htcdev.com that will allow us to flash custom software to the phone, but right now nobody seems to have succeeded in getting that.
As bjg222 said. That is sim unlock to use it on another GSM carrier.

You may be right. I will send them an E-Mail and ask them.
Thanks for your input.
Yes it is a sim card unlock, finally got an answer from my E-Mail

Yeah, most reports so far say that the AT&T version gives an error when going through the process on htcdev.com. (Haven't tried it personally, my phone won't be here till tomorrow)

I did go through the HTCDev.com site and followed the directions to submit for a Bootloader Unlock Code. It does error out say CID Not Allowed. This doesnt surprise me give the phone launched on Sunday.
I'm actually looking for a SIM unlock so I can use the Raider with a non Bell SIM. Tried Cellunlocker.net and despite the site saying they have it (and paying for it) I was emailed a couple of days later with a refund saying they don't have it yet.
Anyone know of a site that has the unlock code?
just got a xperia t lt30a, didn't knew that it was sim locked, now i want to unlock it, i don't know what network is locked to.
how can i find this information?
anyone can suggest a cheap safe unlocking site?

I think the lt30a is the AT&T phone. You may be able to get an unlock code from them. I had no problem getting an unlock code from AT&T when I sold my S3 to buy this phone.
EDIT: I read this wrong. the AT&T version is lt30at. Sorry.
yes.
from what i undestand it was bought in uk.
some people are confusing the 2 unlock types
Just in case, the sim unlock process is a simple one, just insert another sim from the other provider and enter the code provided.
Unlocking the bootloader is not possible with some versions including the lt30a - at least a method does not yet exist - unless you are working with the models that have unlocking enabled. Check other posts which cover this topic extensively.
yes i know it asks for the SIM network unlock PIN, i do not have one.
and also i know that the bootloader isn't unlockable, i've checked in service info. i don't need unlocked bootloader for now as i have rooted the latest stock 4.1.2, only problem i have it with the sim lock..
got the sim network unlock pin from network operator, thread can be closed
Or put [solved] in the title
Sent from my LT30p, 4.1.2 stock, DooMKernel v7,root access, unlocked bootloader.
Hi,
Is it possible unlock my phone to work with any carrier if I have my bootloader unlocked already?
Thanks!

No. Which variant do you have? If it is a Sprint device, my sim-crack can unlock it. Any other device, you should be able to purchase a sim-unlock code for somewhere between $10 and $30 from an online sim-unlock code seller.

This is my problem. I requested to motorola an unlock code to unlock my Moto X and work with any carrier. Three days later they send me my code to release it. But when I put my code on my phone... doesn't work. :/. I entered the code many time but the result was the same. At that point my bootloader was locked. So I proceeded to unlock my bootloader. The process was successful. Then I tried to unlock my phone again but still doesn't work .
Today I talk with Motorola... and they said that the problem is because my bootloader is unlocked. I don't think so, because I tried to unlock it before and after unlock my bootloader.
Anyway... Motorola can't help me anymore because I lose warranty for unlock my bootloader.
So my question is : Can I unlock my phone if my bootloader is unlocked?.
Thanks!

Yes, but Motorola has nothing to do with it.
Unlocking the BL doesn't make you unable to Sim unlock.
You just need to do it the right way. Motorola has NEVER given out Sim unlock codes.
I asked you which variant you had and you never answered.
Be careful not to make too many incorrect unlock attempts or you will be permanently Sim locked. Once this happens there is nothing you can do.
Again, the bootloader has nothing to do with Sim lock, and neither does Motorola. Only the carriers can Sim unlock you... And the online code sellers.
The carriers would throw a fit if moto gave out Sim unlock codes. Moto has no right to do that, and never have.

Since you claim that moto sent you a Sim unlock code (which is impossible) your problem is that you entered an incorrect code too many times.
You really should have known better. If it doesn't work once, it's wrong. Just silly to keep trying the same code...
Anyways, if you tried too many times you are permanently locked and there is nothing you or anyone can do about it.
Let it be a lesson. Never never never keep entering the wrong code. After a threshold number of attempts, a q fuse is blown permanently Sim locking it to the carrier.

I try to unlock my Sprint M8,I tried T-mobile and AT&T sim card.
But my phone didn't likes youtube video, My phone didn't ask me about the unlock code. It just simply tell me the sim card is Invalid.
I have tried to use the unlock helper to unlock it, but it just unlock the internation lock.
I still want to unlock the domestic carrier lock.
Is it the ROM problem?
My phone use the Android 4.4.3,and it is S-OFF.
Please help me!
If you're trying to unlock your phone to use it on another domestic carrier, you're not going to be able to do that. SIM unlocking will work for international use.

Can you be more specific? what is your current Rom? and are you able to flash custom roms? if yes try this one and use their unlock method

So i bought an at&t XT1097 from ebay and it came with sim locked, i tried to unlock it with no succes via at&t because they told me the imei was not in their database.
After looking at the imei displayed on the box i found out it wasnt the same displaying at the phone (i checked this imei and this was the original imei). So now what should i do? I have my moto x rooted and bootloader unlocked still i dont know if i should just return the phone since i live in Chile and bought on the USA, or try to upload the correct imei.
well as far as i know if it was att variant, then bootloader should not be unlocked, as att isnt allowing it, your device seems too be from a diffrent carrier, i guess xt1097 is not only own by att, retail ca, retail brazil and many others carriers also use xt1097. search by the imei might be you find something help full, and also check sim tray, it contains the original imei also.. you can also check imei from bootloader, just boot into bootloader and press volume down and select barcodes from the menu by pressing volume up. last thing you can do is RMA
It IS an at&t variant, i just unlocked the bootloader via sunshine. The sim tray doesnt contain the imei either and in the bootloader barcodes it shows the IMEI that im unable to unlock.
What is RMA?

The barcode imei is what the real imei is.. Box imei might be different, so if you have unlockbootloader and imei is not on database have you tried 3rd party unlock providers? I got mine in 3$ from unlockbase.. Give it a try.
Ive tried to unlock it via 3rd party, where most of them refunded me claiming that they couldnt get the unlock code. Its all so weird since now at&t says i cant ask for the unlock code since its attached to an account (previously they said it wasnt from at&t), and now i asked for the owner to try and get me the code.
I really hope i can get the code, im using a really bad phone right now.
Thanks for the help!
Seems suspicious. Is it possible the phone is stolen and has had the IMEI changed?
