Hey everyone, so i switched to a samsung galaxy s ii and skld my atrix to a friend. The atrix was unlocked, rooted and gingerblurred. He called me today and told me he tried to update blur to 4'5 and the phone got into a boot loop.
He then glashed back with sbf 1'83 i think and when he turned the phone back on it was locked to at&t again. He cant use his sim kn his phone.
Now i dont have the unlock code since i bought it unlocked on ebay. What can i do, or what can he do really.? Am i going to have to buy another unlock code? Isnt the unlock code supposed to be permanent?

If your eBay unlocking experience is anything like mine check your email for the unlock code - unless you're the type of person who deletes potentially important emails often.

Unlocks survive sbf flashes (I know I have flashed my unlocked phone numerous times) so either
1) It is unlocked still but your friend is confused
2) It was never unlocked
People often say unlocked to boost the value of their item. If you get it and it's not, all the seller has to do is offer to refund if you ship it back or pay to have it unlocked. In most cases, the unlock code cost less than shipping.
Well the phone was unlocked, since I used it before with my sim from chile with no problem for 3 weeks and when I sold it to my friend he also tried the phone with his sim and it worked.
I dont think he got confused, he puts his sim in and it says its invalid sim but the sim does work on another phone, in this case its his old blackberry.
what else could it be?

The phone may be blacklisted in your country. Think about it.

I was thinking the same. Since if phone is not unlocked it should ask for the unlock code when you put another carrier sim, right?.
Well, i dont think its blacklisted since i used it for 3 or 4 weeks and he used it for 1 more week, but it is strange that with the new sim the phone doesnt ask for the unlock code. Maybe the unlock code attempts expired?

Does your friend have the same carrier as you?. If not did you tested the phone with your sim?.

Can't flash back with 4.1.83. Have to flash 4.1.57 first, (or 4.1.26 then 4.1.57), then 4.1.83. Have him try that. Can't hurt.

Hello, I want to know how to unlock a Motorola Atrix 4G AT&T to work in any network.
Thanks a lot and God bless you all.
Call AT&T. They give several free sim unlock codes per year. You'll need the imei number.

Okay thank you very much, I bought one from eBay and I'm talk-type with the seller thru AOL Mail so it will be no problem to him to tell AT&T to give the unlock code.
att unlock
i ordered the code from a vendor and called and got it from att myself! that code DID NOT WORK! to unlock my atrix 4g... i even followed instructions on here to unlock the bootloader (which i did successfully) and was about to go alllllllllll the way, rooting etc.. and ended up having to sell the phone. i just got the atrix 2 and finally got it unlocked (YEAHHH) and now am thinking of unlocking the bootloader on it.

there were threads about that, but I think that things have changed so much that the processes that were talked about are now extinct.
help
if posted in the wrong place sorry:good:, did not know where to post. could direct me to the correct location?
anyway can anyone help me?
need to unlock the sim card for all operators but can not find a solution.
I saw several links that say get the unlock code but are paid and have not seen any reference in forums on reliable sites. does anyone know any programs or trusted site and that really get the unlock code?
Thank you for your cooperation.
Unlock codes can be purchased online for just a few bucks. Idk if I'm allowed to list sites here or not but here is the one I use the most for unlocking phones Cellunlocker.net I've unlock alot of phones with their service for just a few bucks. I think the last time I unlocked a Atrix 4G it cost about $15

unlock your phone and install an international rom.

I'm assuming by "unlock" you mean unlocking the bootloader and then flash a custom rom. This wouldn't gsm unlock a phone to a different carrier.

when i unlocked mine it now shows all networks when i have no sim card installed. havent tried another carriers sim card in it to see if it works sorry if i was incorrect.
I'm on the same boat, I bought an Atrix 4g on amazon which was supposed to be gsm unlocked, but the only thing it had unlocked was the bootloader. I couldn't return it since I'm from Venezuela so I have to look for a way to unlock it.
I went to a store where they do this kind of stuff, the guy had some "zunzun" software to do it but it said something about the firmware being incompatible (android 2.3.6 4.5.141), I guess if downgrading doesn't work I'll end up buying an unlock code on one of those websites. I preferred the other method because I can pay with the local coin instead of buying expensive dollars...
@rdz420, please update if you manage to unlock it.
I've unlocked my Atrix 4G here, they are legit and it's cheap.

Take in mind that some AT&T phones can't be unlocked via code.. that's what they told me. (Mine is UK Orange, so I could unlock it :good
hey guys
I did not unlock the phone yet, but I spent a few shops that do unlocking here in Brazil, the majority says that the cel need to try to generate the code, but how they are generating the code? will be a trusted site?
Besides this method gave some research on kernel change, it seems that with the change of kernel + rom the phone would be unlocked with the network. right? anyone have any positive experience in the area?
thanks
Bootloader unlock = you can flash roms
sim unlock = you can use on other networks
One does not rely on the other, and i haven't seen any issues with one affecting the other

As @palmbeach05 said, both are independant. Bootloader unlock (thus installing new roms and kernels) doesn't unlock for any carrier and sim unlock by itself won't allow you to install new roms and kernels.

[Q] Can someone with an At&t account, unlock my Nokia 920 (*I will pay you for it*)
Hi guys,
So a couple of months ago, i bought a brand new Nokia Lumia 920 from ebay but the thing is that it was (and still is) sim locked by At&t US
so basicly i bought a really expensive camera/music player
I live in Belgium (Europe) so the chances of me using it on ATT are zero.
I have paid some site that claimed that they would unlock it but they didnt succeed and ATT needs some kind of an proof that i am or was a former att costumer so i am stuck with this great phone that cant be used as a phone xs
So my question to you guys is; Can someone that was or is an att costumer unlock my phone with his account?
I wil pay you for your services kindly (with Paypal, or you can choose for an other methode...)
*I am not a scammer, iam just really desperate*

Hi Everyone
Im kinda frustrating... I sent my HTC for repair to HTC, they change my phone, now is locked from ATT. Try purchased code via eBay, 5 different, and cellunlocker.com, no one can get the code. Sent an request to ATT, denied... (No ATT account and register number). I really need unlock for T Mobile use. Any help?
Bye

why can't you unlock via htcdev.com?
I sent my phone in to htc a couple months ago, they sent me back a different phone too. I just unlocked again via htcdev.com.

oh sorry, I misunderstood, thats what I thought you were talking about the bootloader.
I bought this used phone.
It was originally in "Consumer Cellular" network.
I successfully unlocked bootloader but now it asks network unlock code when I put T-mobile sim card.
Is there a way to find that code without paying an arm and leg?
thanks
I used imei unlocker.com I think it was like $10

You mean this site?
https://www.imei-unlocker.com
It wants $36 for the code.
That's too much. Half of what I paid for the phone.
Is there a custom ROM that I can install and remove SIM lock?
Just to update on the thread.
I sold the phone in local craigslist and got a different phone for now.
Thanks everyone.
