Atrix HD sim unlock

please help me. I wont sim unlock for atrix HD and please help me.

I have no information on sim unlocks and haven't seen any either. If I find stuff out I will let you know.
EDIT: http://unlockatt.com/motorola-atrix-hd-unlock-code.html
Charging for it... but there one is.

Isn't there another way to do it using RSD Lite or some other Motorola utility? I remember I have done it before on another Motorola phone and didn't have to pay anyone for it.

Has anyone had luck with sim unlocking of Atrix HD using cellunlocker site?

Insert your locked SIM card into the phone and restart the phone. You will be prompted to enter the unlock code once the phone reboots.
Hope that helps. I did it today using a code I got from www.cellunlocker.net
It took less than 24 hrs.

Hello Atrix hd forum.
I unlocked mine (bell version, Canadian) last night for $20. Took less than 10 minutes.
A little disappointed as mine was advertised as unlocked already when i bought it, but wasn't. No big deal.
Really like this thing do far.

I bought it unlocked. AT&T update locked it!
Hey there everyone!
I bought my Atrix HD unlocked from eBay, it all worked fine until yesterday a message from AT&T came to my phone saying there was an update. installed it and now my phone is locked!
I spoke on the phone to a customer service representative and he said that the contract Motorola has with AT&T doesn't allow them to give unlock codes (?) and that I should try calling in a month or two.
Is there anything else I could try before buying an unlock code online?? Please help

Interesting question!
Anyone here with the same problem?
Can you unlock the phone twice with 2 different codes?

Unlock Code
I asked for unlock code several people. What unlock service you can recomend?

You will get the unlock option by restarting your phone after putting in a Sim card other than the original carrier Sim.

Atix HD not able to sim unlock. (Imei rejected)

Hello there.
I bought a Motorola Atrix HD with the purpose of using it in Tmobile with Tzones. The thing is that ive been trying to buy the unlock code and no luck so far. Its been 10 unlock services sellers and every one of them tell me that my Imei have been rejected or not working ? they refund the money and thats it, nobody tell me nothing.....
Anything of this had happen to anyone here ?
That mean is another scrap phone i bought ?
thx

Sorry didn't have this issue. The unlock code took a bit longer to get on this phone than any other, but they sent it to me within 7 days.
I used unlockunit

Sim Network Unlock
My Atrix HD doesn't seem to want to read my sim card. It SHOULD ask me to input a sim network unlock code, but it doesn't. Is there a way to force that prompt? I ask this as I wait for a unlock code from an unlocker site.

the only way i know is turning off your phone, insert the other provider sim (it needs to be already activated/working) then turn it on and you will see the prompt

Sometimes phones sold are stolen and reported then there imei numbers are bad or frozen the original owner needs to reclaim it if that's the case in order for the imei to be unlocked

You don't need to pay. If you are lff-contract, then you can call AT&T and they will give you an unlock code, free of charge. I have done it on multiple phones.

Has anyone unlocked the S6 for use on ATT?

I tried to start the process of unlocking my TMOBILE S6 today - first thing I discovered is that I need to get a new ATT NANO SIM Card - the Note 4 I am using has a Micro SIM - and the S6 uses the smaller NANO SIM CARD.
When I chatted with one of the online "unlock" web sites - they said they are not able to unlock the S6 EDGE because it does not give the user a prompt to enter an unlock code after inserting the ATT Sim Card.
he did not know if this would happen (or not happen) on the regular S6.
I am going to get a nano SD card from ATT and try it today - but after what I heard happened on the S6 Edge - It is not promising - it looks like TMOBILE is trying to close the door on people buying their phones and then immediately using them on ATT or some other provider.
If anyone has any experience they can share it would be helpful - I am going to see what happens later today after I get a new NANO Sim Card from ATT.

Updating my original post -
I have learned (thru attempting to use an ATT NANO SD CARD - that the only way to unlock the TMOBILE N920T at this time is by using a special AP available from TMOBILE - and then it will only work when TMOBILE has authorized it.
Cellunlockers or any of the other web sites that offer codes to unlock your phone will not work as you never are given a chance to enter an UNLOCK CODE.
I don't know if there are any other options - maybe secret samsung codes - or a special app by one of our illustrious developers - but for the time being, if you have purchased a TMOBILE S6 (like I have) and want to use it on ATT - it is not possible.
I would love to hear from any one who has an idea on what can be done about this (if anything) short of getting TMOBILE to give you an Unlock Code.
(I beleive the current policy at TMOBILE is that they won't give an unlock code until after 3 months of service. I might be wrong on that - but I beleive that is the situation.)
Any suggestions

What if i have been using T-Mobile for a few years now and decide to buy the phone full price. Wouldnt that also unlock the phone? My wife uses T-Mobile on her iPhone 5S and i wanted to buy a S6 Edge and pop her sim card in it, wait a few minutes and request the unlock. Would that work?

You might be able to do that - best to call Customer Service at TMO

T-Mobile has no idea how to unlock it and they claim that they won't until after the phone officially launches (April 10th). I have been on the phone with them for hours over this.

I'm officially UNLOCKED!
I can tell you that I have had my S6 for about 4 days and I put my prepaid sim card in it instead of the one it came with (had to create a postpaid account so that I could get this phone!). I tried to unlock with the app on the phone and it told me NO, I am not eligible to do that, but I just tried it a 3rd time about 30 mins ago and BOOM! I am permanently unlocked and can confirm that AT&T works great! The phone rebooted and it automatically froze the unlock app. LOL I un froze the app and sure enough, I am perm unlocked! Not bad for using the phone for less than a week and not calling T-Mobile even once to ask. Just wanted to give people a heads up in case u wanted to try this yourself with a pre-paid sim (if u have a prepaid account, of course). I love my $30 plan so I will be cancelling my service so that I don't have to pay for anything except for the phone itself. Good luck!

Wow! Lucky!
I tried 10 times with an AT&T sim but no luck.

Since it's associated with your account u gotta have YOUR SIM card in there in order for the app to know if you are even eligible or not. So, u are correct, u have to unlock it with a T-Mobile SIM card than after it reboots (if successful) then u can put a non T-Mobile sim in.

My question is.. S
Did your phone say unlocked before or after you put in the Att sim card. Your first post wasn't clear. Also are you rooted or no?

What he is explaining is that he had his T-Mobile SIM card in the phone, he then opened the T-Mobile unlock app and tried to unlock the phone. And it told him no. So he tried a few more times, and finally it allowed him to unlock the phone. Then AFTER the phone was unlocked he put his AT&T SIM in and it worked.
The reason behind this is for the T-Mobile unlock app to work it has to check your account to verify that you are eligible for the unlock to occur. The phone will not unlock with any SIM that is not a T-Mobile SIM because it will not be able to verify if it is or is not eligible. And since there is no chance to enter an unlock code there is no need to put your AT&T SIM in the phone until after it is already unlocked. Basically they changed everything.
To be eligible for the unlock from T-Mobile, you must have an account in good standing at least 40 days old, and the device must be paid in full. So my suggestion would be to find a friend or family member that has had T-Mobile for a while and swap their SIM into your phone and do the unlock request, afterwards swap out your AT&T SIM and you should be good to go.

Thanks for the clarity that was lacking in the original post. Unfortunately I don't know anyone who has tmobile. Oh well... Waiting ain't so bad...

Unlock code
I bought an unlock code, as everyone stated the unlock code screen doesn't come up with an ATT sim installed but if you turn the phone on with no SIM in it and the. Go to the phone screen, type #7465625*638*# it will take you to the unlock code screen. I was able to get an unlock successful but when I restart the phone with my ATT sim it still says insert valid sim. Very weird and very frustrating. Have a friend that is prepaid. Trying that tomorrow

I tried too using AT&T sim card but a no go. I did get a successful unlock after entering unlock code but phone still locked.

I got lucky, had a chat with TMOBILE rep and they approved for the unlocK. I only opened the account a few days back. She did say it may take up to 14 days because the unlock cod or the device isn't available in the database yet

To unlock a prepaid phone, T-Mobile requires that you put at least $100 in your prepaid account if the account is newer than 1 year old. My question is, have you deposited over $100 in your account, or did you just recently open up the $30 line and you got lucky? Trying to replicate with my $30 plan I just bought

You are correct, but that is only one of their stipulations... You have to be activated for at least 40 continuous days for the phone you are trying to unlock AND your account must have had at least $100 of funds that have been put on it with the number assigned to the phone you are unlocking. With me, none of those requirements were met and my unlock still went through so I don't really know what the hell happened but it was def not policy. See, I have had the same prepaid number with the same $30 plan for over a year but I have not maintained continuous service. I jump from carrier to carrier so as long as I don't let my number get deactivated then I can keep going back to that plan but if I don't fund my account for over 90 days then my prepaid number gets recycled and I have to get a new sim card to get back on the plan I had. It may seem weird but I have been doing this 4 awhile now so I have caught on to the way T-Mobile works. I just put $30 on my account so that I could upgrade to the S6 but then I was told NO and that I had to wait til they were available at stores and that did not fly with me so I activated a postpaid account in order to get the S6 but I never put the new accounts sim card in my S6, I just immediately put the prepaid sim card from my old account in there and that's the way I got it unlocked. It's confusing but I'm trying to give you the best details I can so everyone knows EXACTLY what I did. Hope that helps...

Just bought a T-Mobile s6 today and it was unlocked when I purchased it, the guy I bought it from has been with T-Mobile for 5 years and he unlocked it right away when he got the phone. All you really need to do is find someone that has had a T-Mobile account for the said time and pop the sim in ur phone and get it unlocked. Working like a champ on ATT network.

TMOBILE S6 has an unlocked bootloader - BUT the SIM CARD is locked - the guy who posted here was apparently a long time customer on TMOBILE and because he has had an active account for longer than 40 days, he can unlock his sim card using the ap that comes on the phone. BUT if you want to use tmobile S6 on ATT - y ou may have to wait 40 days to get the SIM Card unlocked - unless you possibly know someone who has been on TMOBILE for a while and they let you use their SIM Card to get your phone unlocked....

so just put friends tmobile sim in there, and launch that app right after? or..... u are saying I HAVE TO let my friend play with my NEW S6 for few days. then use that app to unlock it.
Any other way I can get unlocked tmobile devices? I think last time I saw staples.com was selling unlocked tmobile lg g3.

I am not the one who discovered this - but from my understanding - you should be able to put the TMOBILE Sim Card into the phone (from the friend who has been on TMOBILE for a long time) and from what someone else said, the unlock ap wil unlock hyour phone. Then switch the Sim Card with the ATT sim card and you should be good to go.
Check oout the QA Thread for details - here is the post where someone else explained it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6/help/unlocked-s6-att-t3069140/page2 GOOD LUCK -i hope it works for you - I don't know anyone on TMOBILE so I can't try it myself yet...

There seems to be some misinformation in this thread. I am a prepaid customer who hops around from different prepaid companies for the best rate plan/price and am currently with Harbor Mobile (T-Mobile agent) and I purchased some minutes for my prepaid $30 plan on T-Mobile prior to grabbing the S6 JUST so i could test out the unlocking. The unlock rules apply to each device that are on your account so while I may have been on T-Mobile prepaid for about a year, it was off and on and NOT continuous service which you must have at least 40 days of continuous service PER device that u want to unlock. So, I unlocked my Note 4 a couple of months ago through them but I just received my S6 so I would have had to wait 40 days to get my unlock because it's a new device AND I have failed to maintain continuous service for 40 days anyways, even if the other rule applied. Also, the reason I mentioned that it worked on the 3rd or 4th day I had the phone is because it literally takes T-Mobiles system that damn long for them to actually tell which device you have on their network. I don't know why they can't tell right away but I have swapped devices many times and I have found out that the 3 day rule applies ( at least to prepaid) cause when I call them up for a question or problem after I have swapped my phone they have no idea which one I'm using so anyway, I just wanted to give some more insight on what I have experienced through my time with T-Mobile prepaid and how their system works based on what I have been told and my experiences. I can almost guarantee you aren't just going to be able to throw your buddies sim in and unlock your phone! That would just be waaaay too easy and why would any carrier want to give you the easy way out?? LOL Anyways, take care guys and hopefully I helped answer a few questions. I will be off and on so I can answer any questions u may have relating to my experiences. You most certainly can try any method you think may work but I think I got lucky somehow and really it was VERY odd! I think it will be figured out very soon though so no need to worry as we already know they can be unlocked and I already confirmed this model works with AT&T 100%. :good:

Used my friend's Tmobile SIM card, and tried permanently unlocking it, didn't work. Even Temporary unlock didn't work. He's been a long time customer with TMo

I can confirm that official T-Mobile "Device Unlock" app unlocked my phone. First thing I did when I got the phone.. Using the T-Mobile Sim that came with the phone, opened up Device Unlock (pre-installed by the way), confirmed to unlock, no freezing no nothing it just worked and rebooted.
Phone is on a business account, upgraded via Jump 1.0, unlock prior to the OTA if any of this matters

It sure does. Business accounts can be unlocked much quicker than personal accounts. Lucky you, enjoy her--she's a beast

i paid in full for the s6 , when i tried to unlock with the app it said cannot be unlocked , contacted the cust. support and they said you have to wait 40 days
i went to twitter and wrote some tweets to @Tmobile usa and they responded immediately and after showing them the proof of my purchase they said to try the app again and it worked ,,,
twitter helps

Just to be clear...
Everyone who successfully attempted this paid off the phone in full?
No EIP? Correct?

Just here to check updates. I am a full on tmo customer and am thinking of trying this. Even though I don't need it. Would be nice to just have it.

im going to try this. how did the conversation go down. i need this unlocked. im dying paying for 2 services when i only need 1. pm me please if you want to keep it more private. im thinking of just telling them i need it unlocked, that i paid in full, send them my proof of purchase and having them unlock my stuff.

SIM unlock

I have a brand new G6 in the box I want to give to my friend but T-Mobile says I need to put it on their network for a few months before they will unlock it. Pretty BS about it since I bought it outright and never once had a plan on it. I want to give it as new and don't want to open it. Saw some sketchy sites online and other posts here seem to be for different types of unlocks. He has ATT and just wants to use it there. Am I screwed?

Mine came with an app pre-installed that would permanently sim unlock it.

Yeah they call come preloaded but apparently it won't work and you won't get the code unless its on the network and T-Mobile allows it from their end.

Are you on TMO? If so, swap your sim card into it. Call them (611) and tell them the imei you want to unlock then run the app.
I just did that a few days ago. Also the handset must be paid off completely first.

I am on TMO and I would just do that but they told me I had to wait 40 days. Is this not accurate? I'm afraid of opening the box only for it to not work and I can't sell it as brand new in box anymore. Or is that all bs and it will just work immediately? I bought the phone outright in April.

They specifically told me they will unlock a phone immediately upon payment of its balance.
I dunno. I think policy is 40 days. But my customer service location is really good and rated #1 in the country. Otherwise I don't know. You should be able to get it unlocked, especially since you're a customer. Id even try yo use TForce. They're pretty awesome too

I got a used LG G6 from ebay and Tmo rep said that the balance is not paid off so i can't unlock it. Should i use 3rd party to unlock it? I am seeing some places charge $100+ to unlock. It's not like the phone is stolen or anything. Should I just return the phone?

I would return it. It is rather unscrupulous of the buyer to sell you a phone that has not been paid off.

And eventually, if it is not paid off it will be black listed and locked out of TMO network based on IMEI

The 40 days is policy that the phone needs to be actually activated and working for the 40 day counter to start. They do not have to be 40 consecutive days, but 40 days of being alive, working and connected. The Op said that the phone was paid off, so that shouldn't be an issue for the op. Just the 40 day counter.

No need for 60 days continuous use on T-Mobile network. Insert valid T-Mobile sim card to register the handset at least once on their network. You can then take the sim card out (use with any T-Mobile MVNO or don't use it at all - your choice). After 60 days have passed, insert valid T-Mobile sim card again and use the unlock app to permanently unlock your handset. I've done that with my handset and it got permanently unlocked.

Hi there,
I've managed to unlock a T-Mobile G6 a few days ago, using a third party service. Specifically, here: https://www.unlockscope.com/unlock-lg-g6-032413
It was pricier than I was expecting, but anyway, it worked and now it's on AT&T.

Do you know if the same SIM needs to be used after the 60 days (T-Mobile quotes 40 days), or can a different SIM be used? I ask because I purchased a T-Mobile locked phone from someone who had it activated after purchase but apparently not for long enough as I can't get it unlocked in the unlock app even though it's now been long enough. I didn't encourage the seller to put his SIM back in the phone at time of purchase and I don't have easy contact with him anymore. I do however know someone else with a T-Mobile plan but I don't want to try using a different SIM if that might screw with the day count. Might you have any insight?

I used a different T-Mobile sim from the one I initially inserted to register on their network.
It could officially be 40 days even though I waited 60 days instead. Was in no rush to unlock.

Also you have to meet certain terms and condition before you can unlock the handset. I.e. you can only unlock 2 devices per calendar year. The handset should be paid in full etc. There are some other requirements I don't recall exactly please look it up.

Thanks for the info! One last question since I have to meet up with someone to get do it. Is it something that should work right after putting the SIM in or does it have to be in the phone awhile? All other conditions have been met as far as I'm aware so if what you're saying still works, it should do the trick.
