Do you have to root the vibrant in order to unlock it?
No. ............
Every time I try to use the program i get an error that says file not found
Do you need a tmobile sim card to unlock the phone? or can you unlock the phone without having a tmobile sim card in the phone while you are unlocking it?
I used an att sim card to unlock mine.

I have a T-mobile Vibrant that i need to unlock for ATT but it doesnt want to unlock. Ive searched multiple ways to unlock it but they all seem to require a tmobile sim card which i do not have. Is there a Method i can unlock the phone without a Tmobile sim...Ive tried SGS Unlock too but keep on getting the Unknown Error.
hello everyone,
been out of the scene for a while, and I just sold my dell streak, however, the new owner cannot use his new dell streak as its locked to AT&T. I obtained an unlock code from them by calling them, but the streak is on MIUI and the menu that ask for the unlock number does not come up, is there any other way to do this? do I have to flash an original android firmware to it? Thanks in advance.

you said it is sim unlocking... therefore (usually) it is phone related locking... not from at&t... there should be a menu for security > sim card lock
im just trying to unlock the phone to be used with TMobile, it is locked to AT&T not sure if it's phone or sim. AT&T gave me a code to unlock it but when I insert the sim the menu to unlock it doesn't pop up

open Settings > Security and search for something similar to sim card lock... you should get something from there...
if you get nothing.. most probably the phone is network locked... my phone is network unlocked where i can insert any sim... and it does have sim card lock in case there is someone else want to use the phone and use another sim card in it...
If you mean CARRIER unlocking and not the sim card itself, you have to install a stock rom. Sim unlocking isnt exactly something that can be easily tested on a custom rom, so that's your only reliable way of doing so.
If you mean the actual sim card itself, cant help ya
anyone care to share some rom links, all the ones ive tried dont work or a whole bunch of ads come up.

How do I get my S3 to auto prompt for the unlock code? I'm just trying to unlock it for use on another network, and maybe apply a new ROM (I tried Android Revolution HD which looks cool)
I have the stock Vodafone UK ROM on it right now, but can put another ROM on it if I need to do that to unlock it.
It used to prompt me to enter an unlock code, but now it doesnt...
Thanks,
Paul
If you are talking about a pin for the SIM, then this is stored on the SIM so will not take effect if you change sims. If you are referring to the unlock specified in phone security settings, then this will get removed when you wipe the phone (such as when you put on a new rom).Just go back into settings and set the unlock code again.

Hi,
To have the asked unlock code, just put a SIM card from another carrier. You are on Vodafone so put an Orange SIM card (for example) and you will have the unlock code request (I presume you have it?).
But for move to another ROM you need to unlock your phone?

But, first, if I'm not mistaken just root your phone to change of ROM... no need to SIM unlock

I mean the unlock code to use on a differ t network. It should ask for unlock code when I put in foreign sim.
Where us that option in the settings?
Thanks,
Paul
Yes if it doesn't ask, maybe it's already unlocked.

Thanks Viking37...
I have just used the GalaxSIm unlock and it's worked a treat so I'm using my Orange SIM... I expect that the O2 SIM may not be setup by O2 yet. I will have to call them to get that SIM sorted out.
Thanks for your help. This is now solved.

How do I unlock my Atrix? I got the unlock code form ATT...
I am not sure what to do now with it.... can anyone help me out?
I just wanted to do a SIM unlock so I can user other SIMs with it. I dont care about unlocking the bootloader and rooting and all the jazz on this phone.
You really should have searched first. This is by far not the first time this has been asked.
If you want to use it with a non-AT&T SIM card, then why don't you just put the other SIM card in?

I tired searching around but I did not find what I was looking for.
I dont have another SIM card to put in my old Atrix yet. If I did would be prompted for that unlock code the lady gave me?
Yes.
Hey Guys,
Just wondering if there is a way to Sim Unlock a ZTE Midnight Pro from Simple Mobile (T-Mobile?)
When I insert a different sim card No direct prompt to unlock the sim pops up. It just asks to use the unlock app, and of course the app says it can't unlock the phone.
Surely there's gotta be a way (code, bypass?) to unlock it?
Thanks for the help!
Hi, did you find out how to do it?
