OK so i thought the unlock process worked on my TP (sprint), i used the Raphael_CDMA_HSPL_037 program to unlock it.. Now something must have happened where i wasnt paying attention i guess and it wasnt unlocked.. But i went ahead and tried to flash a new rom to my phone.. After several tries and some errors i realize i never got it unlocked... Now i am trying to get it unlocked and its not working at all.. I keep getting a error [284].. Also im being told now im SOL and wont be able to unlock it... Can anyone help me out with this?
thanks in advance...
Have you posted this over at PPCGeeks?? That is where you should have gotten the unlocker from. It tells you which unlocker is for which version. If you havent posted over there, or checked out their website, I reccomend that you do.

So this is the thing. I recently acquired a wallaby pw10b1 and as it is locked to T-Mobile in the USA, i would like to unlock it. in order to do so i came across this great site and read through a bunch of "experiences"(if you will) and was confident enough to try it myself. i went through the unlock wiz method of unlocking and what happened next i dont understand. i tried booting up a new OS i guess and now i dont have the original one, or the new one.
I know that i am fairly new at this but i think that if explained right, i can do it. Now I am in a forced state where i need to get this working again because the phone is my fathers and he needs it to work. i dont mind if i get the original t-mobile OS back on there or one that is unlocked.
If anybody can please help me step by step on how to do this i would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for all your time.
So what is the current state of your device when you power it up? What happens?
If you press the power button and do a soft resert, what do you see on the screen?

you know what. i guess i got so frustrated with it that i fixed it. i don't know how i did it, but i know that i don't want to mess with it anymore. i actually installed the special rom edition one because it said that it came with a program to unlock it during startup but it didn't. i still have locked phone. but at least it works now.
i know this has probably been asked about 3,000 times, but if i got the 'can't get unlock code.... SID:' message, does anyone know how to get it unlocked even after getting this message?
thanks in advace and thank you lumpistefan for your interest.
So, you have currently installes the Special Edition ROM. Tjats ok. Whoch Radio Version do you have installed. Not all Radio Versions work for unlocking....

Hello,
I tried the TOUCH 3.0, but after it gets to 1% update, the htc reboots and on the pc it says "image is corrupt, please check your updater utility" I have re-downloaded the touch and same thing happens, any help?
Thanks
You are probably going to get flamed for not searching, but I believe that means your phone isn't unlocked. If you haven't used Olipro's unlocker do that then retry the update. His unlocker isn't the same as sim unlocking just in case you didn't know. Good luck to you.
I did do search and I did come up with what you are saying that the phone is not unlocked, but it is unlocked, and I purchased it as an unlock phone, this is why I am stuck. So any help would be much appreciated.
From what I understand and read is that there are two unlocks that your phone needs. Sim unlock which is what your phone has and I believe IMEI unlock which it doesn't. Olipro's unlocker will take care of that. Using the unlocker either way is just a safe bet for making sure everything works well with your device.

you device needs to be cid unlocked not sim. Goto athena thread and dow nload unlocker from there. Use step one to unlock then you will be able to use this rom.
Hello, I just recently got an Atrix off of ebay. I want to get into playing witih android phones. I've already read numerous threads, got the android sdk, rsd lite, etc.. I've been reading about flashing, and to be careful of what you flash based on what firmware versions are already on the phone.
The problem I have is the phone is subsidy locked, but it's locked in a way that not even AT&T sims work. It always asks for the pin, and the code AT&T gave me (they stated it was the subsidy unlock code) fails. So I looked at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356121
However, I have no idea what's on this phone. I can't access any settings menu in the phone, as it sticks to the "Emergency Calls Only" screen. i don't know what firmware is on the phone, what radio is on it, etc.. I don't want to try to flash a radio file and have it brick my phone. I've read quite a bit this past hour, but I'm at a crossroads here and don't know what to do to figure out what is exactly on this phone. If I knew what I had exactly, I'd be a lot more confident in flashing things.
I do know the bootloader is unlocked (the phone boots saying "Unlocked"). That's all I know :\
EDIT: Disregard. It took me another 6 hours but I finally got everything figured out (had to boot it with no sim to view things, then from there I got into it all). Rooted, CWM, flashed the bell radio and my sim works for now. Thanks for the valuable info that's listed here!
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks!
hey,
I do have the atrix which is netwoek subsidy locked.
I even cant use at&t. I am outside us currently.
Could you tell me how did you flashed bell radio & where u got that.
Thanks
Hi everybody,
My sister came back from Canada with her phone and she didn't ask for unlocking it (I don't even know if they would have done that for free., but....)
I told her, "no problem" I can do it. On my HTC just rooting the device did the trick!
On the Hero, even a goldcard seems to be useless.
Am I right?
The only option is to pay a site to give the code (I found unlock now .com that does it for 15€). Has anyone used this here?
It's a telus / canada HTC Hero and I wanted to be sure that someone has done something like that with success.
Thanks for anyone who will answer!
Edit : I found a process here, but I need cable. Anyone in Paris?
My friend asked if i could help with his phone. He recently got a new sim card and found out his phone is locked.
Everything on his phone is the way it came out of the factory, nothing has been change... So, for all info on the hardware just google 'acer liquid z520'.
While searching for a way to unlock it, i stumbled upon these sites: http://www.tntts.com/2016/07/open-line-acer-liquid-z520.html & https://www.phcorner.net/threads/230676/
Is this really a way you can unlock the phone? I never saw this kind of way, I thought you needed to unlock bootloader and/or flash some new rom...
Tried searching for a similar thread, did not find anything, sorry if i missed something.
If this is not a legit way to unlock this phone, please point me in the right direction. He would like to avoid paying 20$ to unlock it and waiting for another year for the contract to end is also not an option.
Thanks for the help.
