Hi Everyone,
So I am just awaiting my unlock code to come in so I can finally full use the Atrix as a true phone. So while waiting for it I performed the Sim and Motoblur bypass from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027994&highlight=sim+card
Now that I can play with the phone I would like to get ahead of the game and root the Atrix now and play with it some more.
Do you guys see any issues with that? I guess I would have to watch it and everytime it boots up and perform the Boot Android (No BP).
Thanks in advance!
BTW: AT&T Atrix
Answer is yes
It doesn't even ask about the sim card anymore... It just says there is none.

Hey Guys,
Hopefully someone can help me out since I can't seem to find answers anywhere to my problem. I got an unlock code from T-Mobile but when I put a foreign sim into the phone is says "invalid sim, 0 attempts remain". I got the phone on craigslist so I'm guessing whoever had it before me tried unlocking it with the wrong code too many times. I have the right code now, how do I reset the attempts? I can't believe that the phone is hard locked and there isn't anything I can do about it. It's pretty frustrating so any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!!!
really???? no one knows anything about this issue?
So people here know how to put different operating systems on phones but no one knows if it is possible to reset the sim unlock counter?????
the phone is hard locked and (certainly in most cases) can now only be unlocked by using a hardware unlocker. (for most phones, you get three attempts via the keypad, and a further 10 via a hardware connection normally.)
thanks for the reply! what exactly does hardware unlocking mean? would i still need to use the code given to me by t-mobile?
speak to a phone shop (or better yet speak to t mobile first)
have you tried to restore the phone to factory(not a hard reset). I would try going to Tmobiles website and try to update the rom...

^is for US phones I just did mine today because the guy that put android on it removed the unlock screen and I was unable to unlock the phone. And no one on here was able to answer any questions for me so don't feel bad.
Got it unlocked last night! turns out the sim card i was using was locked. i tried a different one and it let me key in the code. thanks for all the help!
now that the phone is unlocked would doing a hard reset lock it back up?

good stuff. No, flashing / hard resets will not ever lock the phone now.
Hey guys,
Im gonna be going overseas and I called ATT about an unlock code and they provided me with one with my atrix, however I cant try to unlock it until I get a sim card for another carrier.
I wont be able to do that for a couple days, but I am just wondering one thing. They told me all I have to do is put in a different sim card and reboot the phone and a pop up will show up asking for an unlocked code.
Will this work with Cyanogenmod 7 installed as I currently have it, or do I need to revert to the stock 2.3.4 to unlock the phone?
Thank you
Logically yes; there's no other way to remove the sim lock other than having the code so cm7 or not, it's still there.
My logic though, don't come complaining if it didn't work out! :-$
hey guys I had a atrix 4g that i sold to a friend of mine. before i did i had rooted it and unlock the bootloader. so i can run titanuim backup to get m data off.
the problem is the phone now which still has stock rom on it. is giving my buddy low memory error when he plugs it into the lapdock. its has never done that before and only started now. i read on another thread that it might have something to do with the unlock bootloader or something. i didnt install any custom rom or any customer recovery on it. just rooted and unlock bootloader then got unlock code to unlock phone for different network.
any help would be great my friend really wants to use the lapdock like i used to.
thanks in advance
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.

Okay, I am completely new to this forum, somewhat new to unlocking phones, and have no idea how to do this, after searching all over the net for hours. I apologize in advance for the nonsense I am about to spew into the faces of the readers.
I want to unlock my Droid razr xt912 (original, not HD or M or any of those), which is on Verizon Network (I think there are others for att network and all those), to my net10 network, which gives me all the unlimited data and blah blah.
I was on ICS, I rooted my phone. For some reason I decided to update my phone to JB so I would stop getting the annoying update notification. I assume I've lost my root since I updated. I believe I have to root my phone and all that to unlock it.
(edit) I tried rooting with razr blade and saw access denied to "/something/something" several times during the process. OI opened Titanium backup to see if it was rooted, and it said it didn't have permissions. In superuser, the binary is outdated, I try to update and it fails.
My question is, do I simply need to root my phone after all this madness to proceed into unlocking it? AND, how do I go about unlocking it AFTER I root it again, if it is at all possible?
Thanks in advance, and sorry for this forum vomit. @[email protected]

im not sure if your in usa or not but xt 912 does not work in usa on any other network other then verizon.
if your using it outside usa you dont need to unlock it you just change settings to global and allow roaming although it doesnt charge the settings will let you use data. the phone doesnt need to be unlocked just the settings need to be changed. thats all.
secondly rooting has nothing to do with unlocking. whether you root now or later doesnt matter. you do need to root to play around and install tweaks and custom roms etc
hope this helps. also for xt 912 you can always go to www.droidrzr.com they have excellent support including live chat for xt 912 phone users.
Unlock
Why is it that I can get a gray screen to show up that says:
" SIM network unlock PIN
[Unlock] [Dismiss]"
