Hi everyone I'm desperately looking for help... I got myself ATT&T Atrix which was claimed to be unlocked from US but unfortunately it's not, and I can't find any way to sim unlock the phone... I have tried everything else like rooting and putting custom Rom like ginger blur or rewriting the existing sbf file etc. and it still hangs on the start up with the message SIM NETWORK PIN etc.. what can I do since the actual phone is from the US and I'm in Australia... I tried calling att and they were unwilling to provide me an unlock pin
are there any sim unlock pin generators available ?
is there any app or script which blocks sim pin message ?
my imei is: 353648040718081
only way to do it right now is to buy the code off ebay...about $17 and its working. rooting or flashing will not unlock your atrix

Hello all
I recently got a great deal for a Vibrant (150$ contract free, looking brand new ).
I live in Europe and I already own a Galaxy S, so I thought "hacking" the Vibrand would be a piece of cake... well it wasn't Finally after reading a ton of stuff here on the forums I managed to beat it using Odin.
After finally getting root the first thing I did was to download Galaxy S unlocker from the Market so I could use it with a local SIM card... and it failed. The app couldn't find any codes? and neither the root or non-root method worked.
The Vibrant recognizes that there's a SIM card, and even asks me for a PIN on boot... then nothing happens. When I try to make a call, "Data network not available" is displayed.
The network here is GSM 900/1800.
I'm currently on the deodexed KB5 2.2 ROM flashed via CWM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hmm...I believe there was another method to unlocking it other than the Galaxy S unlocker program you have. It will require root which you have.
Search around the Vibrant forums, I think it was from at least a few months back.

Yes, I found it but I'm not sure wheter it's a lock issue (it said "no codes found") or I have to flash an European modem or something. I'll try it anyway and report any results.
No luck
All the methods work for 2.1 and I'm on Froyo KB5.
Plus it's not really an unlock code issue..
It's rather... the SIM card doing nothing.
- Is it insearted?
Yes
- Does the phone recognize there's a SIM card?
Yes
- If you have a PIN, does it ask for it on boot?
Yes
- Well what's wrong then?
I can't do anything else with the SIM... not even join a network
Did you per any chance lock your SIM card with a PIN code?
Cause if you did, it is asking for the code that you locked it with. . .
Try another, UNLOCKED SIM card just to be sure that's not the issue.
The phone SHOULD ask you for an unlock code only. A pin code request (unless you are reading the unlock code as a pin code) means the SIM card is locked.
The card was unlocked, I put the PIN on purpose later, just to see if it'd recognize that
Then what is the issue? Without the PIN, it recognizes the SIM and loads up fine but doesn't get on any network?
Yes!
And that way it's just a VERY overpowered iPod touch. Would be nice if I could actually make phone calls from it, but if not - whatever.
I remember anything above 2.1 theres an issue with the SGS unlocker on the market. I had to use a different method, and I don't remember where I received the instructions from, but I did find this for you on youtube. Please do watch the whole video as the person has the same problem, but runs you through the steps to unlocking by using a different method.

gosh... no dice.
The phone never asks me for any unlock code, just stuck on "Searching"
Try a different modem. If not then try a different rom..may be?
Why not just odin back to stock,reroot, and try to unlock it before flashing a rom

Will try that in the evening and report outcome ^^
Hey guys hope you can help me.
I bought the code to unlock the network on my galaxy i9100, currently is locked to telcel mexico.
The thing is that I put in an AT&T sim card and no imput is displayed to enter the unlock code, when I put a T-Mobil sim card a blue lock is displayed saying Network Lock and a button sayin dismiss but no input to capture the code.
So what should I do? I was seaching in several posts and I think that changing the rom to another not from telcel can allows me to capture the unlock code, do you know if that is true? if so, can you tel me, what ROM is compatible to my samsung galaxy I9100 from Mexico ?
Thanks.
SIM Unlock SGS2 Telcel
Hi, I got last week my SGS2 for Telcel and I'm afraid you waste your money with the code, don't worry I also bought an usefulness code.
I did these steps:
DIAL *#SIMLOCK# (7465625) you will have a popup displaying Personalization status, the option NETWORK LOCK [YES] means your mobile is locked for TELCEL, the other options displays OFF.
IF you have NETWORK LOCK [OFF] means your mobile is SIM unlocked.
First you need to root your device, look in the forum how to do that and download busybox.
Well to unlock download from the market the app Galaxy_S Unlock market.android.com/details?id=com.helroz.galaxysunlock (it works with S and SII)
Open the app and follow steps, WARNING there are two steps for number two, I used second one.
Once finished, reboot the mobile and dial one more time *#SIMLOCK# you will have now NETWORK LOCK [OFF]
However I installed a SIM from IUSACELL it doesn't work, what worked for me was downgrade the the version to 2.3.3 reboot with IUSACELL simcard adn voila it is working. After IUSACELL simcard is accepted I upgraded to 2.3.6
You can change the version, root, no matter which change, even restore to Telcel image and the mobile will continue unlocked.
I hope it works for you, if you have any problem just let me know via DM or my twitter @D4N13L0G

Thanks for your help guys
What ROM is compatible, I downloaded one from the link above, one from telcel, and works fine the problem is that when I switch the sim card it says that is network locked, so I need another ROM but i dont know what is compatible with telcel, any help?
Thanks
thanks to hugeband here is the guide that he sent to me to downgrade the galaxy s2(telcel), the only proble, that I had, was that i return to android 2.3.6 from telcel, and the Rom is locking the sim card again....
to get the guide please send me a PM or to hugeband and we will send you the URL.
There's something odd, I unlock the galaxy s2 with the method described here and I am pretty sure that it is woking, since my GS2 is using now a T-Mobile sim card, well, the odd thing is when I switch the sim card for an AT&T sim card, the GS2 is still displaying the sim card error message.... I don't have the telcel rom anymore but this message is still happening. Odd thing.
Similar problem
Hi i have a similar problem. my network block is off but I still can't use my iusacell sim. The problem is that i am already in 2.3.3. What should I do?
The problem is that Telcel's modem is a locked one, so even if your device is "technically" unlocked, the modem file will keep popping that annoying lock thing.
1) Dial this from your phone*#7465625#
2) If you have the network lock off, go to next step, otherwise try to follow the second post of this threat until your network lock is off.
3) Flash any rom (or modem file if you wish to keep telcel's crappy apps) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 After carefully reading the guide posted by Intratech and then try to switch sim cards again.
*As always be very careful before flashing anything and read all of the instructions. No one can take responsibility if you mess something up except for yourself... If you follow the instructions to the letter you should have no problems, as myself and others have done this before.
*If you have any more questions please post them in this threat so more people can learn, I will not respond to PMs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1075278 Not working anyother links or forum?? i cant seem to unlock mines, same telcel i tried helroz method but still cudnt work but wen i dial *#7465625# everthing is off

I've unfortunately done the same thing,now i have no network,it asks me for a pin code but when it unlocks says sim card error.I've tried with different sim cards,still the same,please can anyone help?I have done this with the same phone as you,alcatel ot990,any progress?
Please can anyone help us,i'm without my phone for 5 days,there must be someone who can give us an answer!!!
Sorry if i'm spamming,but i'm hoping that someone here will see this thread,and maybe give me a helpful answer.I'm also hoping to see the creator of this thread,i want to know is there any progress on his phone,is there a way to repair this?This phone maybe doesn't cost much,but it isn't a small amount in country where i live,i can't afford myself a new phone!
Ok,
If you have a phonw wich is code frozen and no network after unlocking with code you should upload this ROM r1_de-branded_ot990-update-signed.zip and after that udating the phone with the update software wich you can download from Alcatel home page. After that your phone should work as before...

I solved my problem,had to pay extra money,and now my unlocked phone is working just fine
Ok, same problem, jodanks way does not work but looks prommising to put back phone in factory state for possibly warranty issues.
From Tommy I hope I'll get the contact where he did fix his phone.
From eBay unlocker I got message I need Furious box.
Hi
I have a sgs2. It is originally a bell cellphone/simcard. I now have a telus simcard. The phone now asks for a sim unlock code, when the telus sim card is inside. I have just installed wanamlite 13.0 rom. The phone is rooted, and galaxy s unlock app doesnt seem to work.
A couple of questions. In order to unlock the sim, should I put in the bell simcard, then run the unlocking apps, then get code, write it down. Shut down phone, then install the telus sim card, restart and put in the code from bell sim card?
Im a little fuzzy on the whole process.
The weird thing is that on android 4.0.3 galaxy s unlock will seem to work, and unlock the phone. And it wont re lock after a hard restart. It only seems to stay sim locked under 4.0.4 android.
If anyone could offer some help that would be great. I have also looked into editing nv file with hex editor but I cant seem to find the strings..
Just look for an app called "galaxy sim unlock" and install it and then run it ... u know what to do

And a million others that the user would have found if they would have been bothered to use search for 2 seconds rather then duplicating topics and adding to the ever growing flood of useless threads on XDA.
Just purchased an HTC One and an unlock code, and upon inserting a T-Mobile sim card into the slot, I do not receive the Sim Network Unlock Pin request menu, instead I receive an error Phone Not Allowed MM #6 which I've read means the phone has a bad IMEI, but the phone works flawlessly with my AT&T Sim card meaning it cant be a bad IMEI. Am I just a noob and missing one simple step? I've rooted hundreds of phones and im coming from my HTC One X rooted and unlocked, so if anyone can help please respond as soon as possible, as I said I already have my unlock code, just unable to attain the input menu, the phone is NOT stolen.
Thanks so much,
Z?

Does anyone on earth have a clue whats going wrong? I sat on the phone with AT&T, HTC, and T-Mobile for hours and no one has a clue why I'm not being asked for my unlock code upon inserting the sim card, please I cant be the only person who has had this issue, i have now tried many hard reboots, unlocked boot loader, even flashed maximus 7 HD to try and reset the counter and still no luck.

I also recently bought an AT&T HTC One from Craiglist. When I inserted a T-Mobile SIM card it prompted me to enter the unlock code, which I entered then the phone rebooted and it no longer asked me for the unlock code.
BUT, i was not able to get a signal and got the MM #6 error.
The error apparently can be from the phone being black listed. in my case the phone is not blacklisted.
The other reason, it seems, since the phone was bought from AT&T with subsidies, AT&T will not allow the phone to be used on t-mobile.
Had the previous owner requested the unlock code before selling it then it would have been unlocked.
For now, I am using it with aio for $40/month which is pretty good.
Regards,
