I got an X10a last week locked to the at&t network and have been trying with 0 sucess to get it unlocked. I've tried everywhere online, no one can do it. Anyone know why the unlock servers are down? Was it a crackdown from SE? I paid $40 to htccode.com and they haven't refunded my money or been much help. I tried MobileInCanada.com for IMEI remote unlock, they said they couldn't do it and refunded my money. I used my friends att account to call them and ask for the code, and they put the IMEI in their system and got a message that the phone is an at&t exclusive and don't have th unlock code for it. I don't get it. This isn't an iPhone, it's an Android phone that's been out for almost a year. The admin on the setool.net forums where the unlock server is held has been very vague about it ever coming back online. He always just says "maybe 1 week, 1 month, maybe never"
What's the deal?
Did you try these - http://www1.davinciteam.com/index.html
I checked them out. they only do Flah/Debranding. They don't unlock Android devices.
I wonder if I should track down a Turbo Sim and try that...

When did you do it? It seems that no one can unlock the X10 since the last week in October.

They answered (Nov 12):
> via cable 28 usd not availble at moment as servers blocked for unknown time.
> we can do via code only at moment,. 39 usd
Since your ATT claimed they don't have this code at all, the code can be from manufacturer only that can be more expensive, than $39
I have similar problem, but mine is locked to T-Mobile UK. I am a T-Mobile US customer. TMO UK customer service has standard procedure - they can send unlock code for 15 GPB (around $24), but they provide this service to current TMO UK customers only and send the code by regular mail, so this customer should have street address. So I am stuck too.

Yeah, I know. I get free service from T-Mo because my wife works for them. I like the x10 better then any of their Android phone so I can deal with EDGE+WiFi.
By the way, I wonder if this has anything to do with the recent trouble unlocking...

I like Ericsson and Sony Ericsson - their flagships usually have almost no errors and work pretty long. In addition, Ericsson is one of the main manufacturers of infrastructure equipment for mobile communications, so they can plan better handset design. And ergonomics - interface and no restriction to use third-party programs. I never had any problems with phone book copy from old handset to new one.
I read this article already and posted link in one of threads of this forum. I was almost sure that all unlocking business works through insiders and this article confirms this. It is pretty possible that this is the end of all unlocking business in form that we knew it. Maybe that pushes forward cracking the lock itself.

That thread only discusses how to get an unlock code from a third party/website charging and outrageous amount of money for something that should be free.
Personally I'd like to see the Dev's take on the unlocking rather than depending on a third party that I'd have to pay and get the rooting/unlocking procedure from them.

I called ATT and told them I travel a lot and need the phone unlocked. They told me I can get an Unlock code from them on August 22. The representative said he would give me right away, but when he typed my IMEI on the system that gives the unlock codes, a message showed that I could only get it by August 22.
At least thats something.
just called at&t to unlock for traveling over seas they said not until december.
That is true the only way you might be able to get one if you bought the device with out a discount meaning you paid full price.
By law they are forced to provide an unlock code for the phone

Has anyone been able to full unlock their phone and also reboot and have the unlock stick without having to reenter the code? I tried unlockthatphone.com and no success. It is always asking me to reeneter every time i reboot and its freaking annoying :/
Yes. I got my code from htcimeiunlock.com.
However I believe people when they say they are experiencing this issue. It seems there truly is a batch of Titans with some issue such that unlock codes don't work the way they should.

That's a common 'issue' on all WP7 phones. You need to download a HTC specific app (HTC Apps->Connection Setup) to switch the network profile to T-Mobile.

Then, you are SOL. MMS configuration is not exposed in WP7 and the only ways to change them are either via ADC or specific apps from manufacturer. For carrier locked phones, ADC is typically turned off. That leaves you only one way to configure/switch it.

No, I called and get the similar answer which is what I expected. Basically all new phones from A&T have so called exclusive period. Typically it is 10-month from the release day. But past experience told me you can typically call in before that. I'd expect Titan unlock code will be available around summer (around july). If you want free unlock code, that's the only way.
Hi guys, I just attended the Samsung Developer Conference at San Francisco and gave us a Gears S as a gift. The device seems to be sim locked for ATT. I contacted Samsung and ATT and they know nothing about that and could offer me any solution. Hoping there's some other attendees hanging at xda, Does anybody was able to solve this problem?
Thanks

I did not attend that confrence lucky you. Yes it is sim locked you can unlock it if you choose to under certain conditions. Did they mention any new gear apps to come?
What are those conditions? They didn't announced any official app but there was an app contest with some interesting apps though.

If you are a AT&T customer/former customer(i e have.had a number) your good you can request unlock code. If your new you have to be with them for x amount of days (40 or so). Or find someone willing to add it to their account so you can unlock assuming you've paid outright. If you were never a customer YMMV but most likely no unless they feel like it then it will be emailed to you

That's where mine came from - I was there. Wow, the demo gods did not smile on Samsung
Anyway, no - no info was given, and I honestly doubt any thought was given to how to unlock these "dev" phones for non-AT&T customers. I happen to be on AT&T should I want to use a sim in mine.
If you register on the AT&T forums http://forums.att.com/ then you can send a PM to ATTCustomerCare (http://forums.att.com/t5/notes/privatenotespage/tab/compose/note-to-user-id/192773) and tell them the situation. That team has been the go-to team for "edge case" unlocks. Alternately you can keep trying to call the support number until you reach a supervisor who can ok the unlock, but essentially you're reaching those same people via the forum without the hassle of endlessly calling.
You can get it unlocked using cell unlocker. It took them a few days but they finally sent me an unlock code that worked first try.
I must have been the first one they did because they kept sending me emails asking I had tried it yet. Because I was travelling I had to wait a couple if days.

My fiancé and I are in the same situation. We also got the watches at the Samsung Dev Con, but we're T-Mobile customers. (Also, did you notice that the Note 4s they raffled off were for Verizon?) We already tried calling AT&T, to no avail, and now I've posted on their forums asking for help and I'm sending the customer care people a PM, as recommended in this thread.
Worst case scenario, we get our friend (an AT&T customer) to get the unlock codes. But if it comes to that, we can probably get yours unlocked with ours, if you want. We're happy to help.
I'll post an update if the customer care PM works.
Last time I was at an Microsoft event and with the AT&T phone they gave me, there is a note inside told me to email someone with IMEI for unlock. I did and they quickly email back with unlock code. You should contact your meeting organizer, not AT&T or Samsung support as they have no clue.

If you are not an AT&T customer and are on T-Mobile or Sprint, I would recommend selling the AT&T version and getting one from your Carrier that way the Radio Bands will work for you.
If you are out of country, I would recommend selling the AT&T USA Version as some others have posted where they can't get apps if the Country doesn't match their Phone, or something like that.
That being said, if you are looking at selling the AT&T one cheap, send me a PM. I bought one, had it about 6 hours before the wife confiscated it for her selfish purposes.

In theory it should work just as a unlocked phone would on whatever network so any problems you have with unlock on AT&T will be the same like how they handle messages

I am from Norway and got mine at the Samsung Developer Conference. I unlocked mine using cellunlocker.net. I received the network lock code less than an hour after submitting the order and it worked like a charm.
HOWEVER: For other non-US-citizens, you need to check whether the AT&T-device has support for your local GSM-bands. Here in Norway we have GSM 900/1800 and the AT&T device is only GSM 850/1900 from what I can find on the net. Which matches my end result of not being able to connect to my network even after unlocking.

That's not right. If you use AT&T messenger on the phone (as AT&T wants you to do), you will not be able to reply from the watch. So, you will have to switch back to the Samsung stock Messages app.
MMS might be a problem but regular text SMS won't be a problem. For MMS, you may need to add AT&T MMS APN.
I want to buy one on ebay because i saw the price very considerable. However the thing is it said the phone is locked to 2 networks and one of them is O2. I would like to know if the phone can be unlocked or not because if i buy it and cant use with other networks sim then it will be a big problem for me. Thanks if you can help

I ordered it from ebay and might receive in on the 22nd or 23rd, and i am not a customer so i am looking for another place to have it unlocked. But since you said they can do it for a price as well, can i just go to any local O2 store and ask for it? That would be easier for me instead of doing it on my own.
