Hey Guys,
This summer I bought an unlocked Rogers X10a. Last month the charger stopped working so i shipped it in to Sony Ericsson to get fixed. They ended up sending me a replacement phone but of course its locked to Rogers. I tried buying the unlock code from Unlocking.com and a couple of other sites but they arent able to find it. I also contacted Sony Ericsson and they say I have to contact Rogers... I then spoke to Rogers but they can't help me since i dont have a rogers acct.
Anything else I can try?

im right up the way in sfv. call att for sure. they have to give the unlock code for the phone.
So At&t will have the code? the only reason i hadn't called them is because the phone is branded/locked to Rogers (canada), so i figured they wouldnt know it because i didn't buy the phone from them. but i'll it a shot.

If your phone is Rogers then at&t will not have/give you the code. Even if your phone is at&t branded, you have to wait 90 days before they give you the code. That is a big IF of course.
Why are you guys telling him to call at&t? that doesn't even make any sense :S Obviously they will just tell him to call rogers... Have some common sense.
Anyhow, I'm truly shocked that mobileincanada couldn't help you. They have unlocked any rogers x10 that I've been aware of. Ever considered maybe the esn is blacklisted, hence why no one can get the code? try htccode as lancez said, I have heard they are pretty good. unlocking.com was a huge scam, they never sent me a code and refused to give me my money back.. Would definitely not recommend them.

for those of you still having problems with unlocking your phone. maybe i should rephrase or pay attention to my own wording.... your "network provider" is by law required to give the unlock code. att phones, call att. rogers phones, call rogers. Whoever the network provider for your phone is, is the person you need to call. they dont give it willingly and will give a ration of trouble to you for even asking for it. but when this occurs, take it to the highest level of customer support that you can. ie, managers, be prepared to spend some time debating this with them and make sure you have a pack of cigs a few beers and lunch while your waiting. do not relent until you get the code. THEY HAVE TO GIVE IT BY LAW!!!!! Good Luck!!

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?

They answered (Nov 12):

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.

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.
I paid 5 bucks on ebay, worked fine

Ok so the saga continues. I sent phone in for repair since it wasn't powering on and not able to connect to usb. They sent me back a brand new unit, but it was an unlocked x10a locked to Rogers and now I can't get an unlock code anywhere. I have tried 5 different online companies, I called Rogers and begged as Sony recommended I do and now my only hope is Sony calls me today and gives me a code I guess. It sucks that I sent in an unlocked x10 and got back a locked one. I have a feeling I am going to be screwed! Any ideas? Thanks

I think he means SIM locked to Rogers.
This is insane, SE should provide you with an unlocked phone,
exactly like the one you sent for repair, and if that's not possible,
an unlock code is the least they can do!
I hope it turns out well for you.
Just finished up another half hour long call with Sony begging for help, but they say there is nothing they can do. I am hitting a wall. Anyone here a Rogers Customer that could try to get an unlock code from them for me? I will gladly donate some cash via paypal for someones help.

Thanks for the info...I placed an order for the software and then got word from the site that the software is unavailable for at least 1-2 weeks lol. I can't catch a break! I will update again when something changes. Thanks for all your help guys.
Did you give Mobile in Canada a go? Also the handset was sent into Flextronics for repair so they just gave you a new unit it looks like.. where are you located?
You maybe out of luck as Rogers deems the warranty void if you unlock the phone, so tread lightly. PM if you have any q's
Actually that's not true. In fact Rogers' provides their own unlocking service. There are requirements, which I can't recall all of them, I believe if you have completed your contract or have purchased the phone outright they will do it. I'll see if i can find the phone number for that dept when i get to work
I have called Rogers and they are showing no compassion at all for my situation. I'm afraid I am going to have to sell the phone. It's really a shame, because I do love it. So on the Bay it goes to hopefully find a new home and add some funds for me to get something else. If anyone is interested in a Rogers locked x10 let me know.
What sites do you use to sim unlock HTC Amaze?
I checked a couple and found out they scams - they only take money and do not send out unlock codes. It would be great if those who unlocked would mention sites they used and the unlock cost so that the rest of us could find the best unlock price and would not get into scam unlock sites

You can say you're not a T-mobile customer but would like to use their T-mobile phone. Most reps don't really care much, they might try to sell you a contract or whatever, but in the end, they'll just give in and give you the code. Well that's how it was about a year ago. idk if it changed now.
Oh and from what I remembered it is actually much easier to get the code when you're not a customer, because if you were, they'll be asking you why do you want it unlocked and stuff (are you changing carriers) etc etc.
yeah call tmo, I was in mexico unlocking phones, just ask for the IEMI number, and within 2/3 days you get an email with the code, no charge...
This is the first GSM phone I have had and would like to know the benefits to unlocking the SIM card. What can I do with an unlocked SIM? I know if it's unlocked I could use any GSM carrier but what else if any thing?

It only lets you use it with other GSM carriers/providers. That's all. Nothing else.
I called T-Mobile twice and they basically said that since I do not have an account with T-Mobile they can't give me an unlock code. They said I need to call HTC directly. When I called HTC they said that I need to call T-Mobile to get the unlock code.
That's why I would like some reports on what online unlocking services anyone used to unlock the Amaze so that people like me wouldn't get scammed by some website that only take the money and do not provide an unlock code. Also the unlock price would give an idea of what site is the cheapest of the reliable ones.

Usually the prices in Canada are higher than in the states buying a phone off craigslist. I bought it in Seattle for $380. Also I'm not on Telus in Canada and Telus is a CDMA provider. If they offer GSM service it would be the same as of AT&T band. I'm on Wind which operates on the same band as T-Mobile so to make sure my phone works on my carrier I bought a phone from T-Mobile.
I started this thread just to find out what online unlocking sevices are reliable and cost less so that I and other people who buy phones off eBay or craigslist could find an easy way to unlock their phones.

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

Typically, the conference organizer will give you instructions about how to obtain a unlock code from them directly. Calling AT&T directly won't help.

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.

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.

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

So you think the SMS/MMS wouldn't work?
Non-us SDC participants beware of GSM-bands if you are European

I'm from Argentina so I guess the only option would be to find someone from US who is a ATT customer willing to do the work for me. If any reads these and want to give me a hand with these please contact me via PM.

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.

850/1900 bands are for North America only. Only two other countries outside of North America use also use these two bands: Brazil and Australia.

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.
