No. Simlock has nothing to do with android

Hi, this is my first post. I ask AT&T for unlocking my phone and they said the can give the code for free but not until august 22nd 'cause they need to wait until the phone is 6 months old on ther network. so if you want to unlock any phone from att .they give the code no questions ask if the phone is more that six months, so i didn't wait and i paid 20 bucks.

One of 2 ways to SIM unlock your phone. call T-Mobile or find a site online that sells unlock codes. If the phone is still under contract you might have a hard time with T-Mobile unless you tell them your traveling and need to be able to use a different SIM.
cellunlock.net
http://www.cellunlock.net
they just did my motorola atrix only took a day to get the code, worked perfectly.
my contract was only 2 months old, service had already been disconnected for nonpayment, and i still owe at&t like $400 dollars, didnt matter.
and htc phones are on sale for only $20, my atrix was twice as much
edit-just remember the wireless bands at&t uses for data are different then for t-mobile (i forgot about that part, very expensive mistake...)
I would highly recommend using an eBay seller of unlock codes with feedback. You don't have to worry about getting screwed over because eBay covers you and plus sellers always have to worry about being left negative feedback.
Htcimeiunlock.com are very fast! I've used them with unlocking an Inspire and Sensation, took under ten mins for the code to return via email.
Cheers!

I just unlocked mine right now, last night I was on the phone with tmobile and told them "I will be leaving the country in 1 month since I am paying for the full retail price of the phone I would like to unlock it." And I wake up this morning with an email with my unlock code and instructions!!
So I inserted an att sim card and the fastest speed I saw was of about 1.5 mbps but most of the time it was like .9 so no data besides 2g edge.

I beleive the t mobile amaze has the required bands as well for At&t 850/1900 so you should be getting 4g.
To get 3g you have to mannually set up the apn.

Well I used my parents BlackBerry sim and dads iPhone sim but neither are 4g.
I later figured I had to set up the apn for att 3g but hadn't had time for that. And I and running your latest quick sense rom X.
So I'm guessing I have to have a 4g enabled sim card to get att 4g?

Can you buy these unlocked? Im still looking around to upgrade and ive been looking at a few different phones. AT&T is the best carrier in my area so id like to stick with them, but i dont like the phones they have. I know the Vivid is similar spec wise to this phone, but it doesn't look at good imo. (i dont like the square brick look)..
Why does AT&T not bring in the better looking phones :|
Yeah you can but if your gonna pay full retail price just call the carrier of the phone tell them you bought the phone itself and need to unlock it. Or by from someone on craigslist already unlocked

that's because iphone's don't support 4g and i'm not sure about bb's but i think possibly only the newest and latest ones support 4g? (not sure)
but overall they only support 3g speed on at&t.
Furthermore, there was another thread where they said if you have an at&t data plan, you need to call in and tell them to update your data plan to a 4g data plan, it's no difference in cost, but apparently there is a boost in speed. Im not sure about that one because i'm on tmobile.
I honestly think that sim cards doesn't affect data speed.
@op who has not replied lol
if you're on at&t then call tmobile. They'll ask for your customer information, tell them you're not a customer but need to be directed to someone who can unlock their tmobile phone. Since you're not a customer, they will hassle you less because they won't be asking all these needless questions why you need it unlocked and etc, but they will probably try to get you to join them. anyways most of the times the rep will be happy to help you right away. But there are a few uhhh not so happy reps who will give you **** for it. If that happens, call again and talk to another rep. You have to remember there are people on the other side of the phone, most of the time the people will be glad to help.
I just got my HTC Amaze from my employee plan and now am not working for them so they gave me the unlock code but how can I get the At&t Apn settings?
search for AT&T APN. There are countless posts for this, they are pretty much similar. If you are using custom rom such as Bulletproof it will auto detect based on your sim card.

Or look at
FAQ for the HTC Amaze 4G. Read Frequently Asked Questions before you post a question! because there is a Q & A that says
Q - I unlocked my phone and I am using it on another carrier. Where can I get the settings for the Internet/MMS?
TMO unlock code
Usually TMO is pretty good about unlock code. If you have been with them for a while, it is easy. I bought my Amaze and got the unlock code the next few days. I was travelling and it worked great.
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.

I want to unlock my ATRIX so I can sell it to anyone in the gsm network.
How do I get the unlock code without paying some website?
Is there an app for this or pc program you can recommend?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I've heard u can call the provider but I paid $2 on eBay and got one.
I don't want to pay because I go through so many phones I would have to pay every 3-4 months for the unlock code.
I don't think the carrier would give me so many unlock codes a year.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
If you bought your phone from a carrier, call the carrier, tell them you are going out of the country on vacation/business, and need the unlock code. They should give it to you with no problems.
If you bought from another source, do what the other poster said.
That's my problem...... I bought it off ebay with no contract.
I go through 4 phone s a year. Hoped someone could hook me up with a program that did it or I can buy and use over and over for each phone.

He was talking about SIM unlocking, not bootloader unlocking.
there's no free SIM unlocking program AFAIK, if the code is not from your carrier.
I don't need it be free. I just need a program to buy and use it for any gsm phone I get to unlock it.

I believe the SIM unlock code is per phone (the code for each phone is different). I saw someone posted some reputable web sites before, search for it.
He's each code is based on the manufacture and the IEMI number.
Just thought I could get an application for under $150 that has all the manufacturers and IEMIs on a database.
Just didn't want to pay and find a reputable website for each phone manufacturer.

Thanks. I will try my carrier - since its not bought from them I might not be granted this but I will stress I have been public valued customer for 7yrs with 3line. Might get me the code.
If not I will use your link. Thanks.
My main goal is to unlock this and throw it on eBay as an unlocked phone with no contract and mention root. This should allow the phone to sell for a higher price.
Thanks for all your help.

Called the carrier and BAM! in under 30 seconds they emailed me 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

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.
