I bought an Atrix that was sparingly used for two weeks locked to AT&T. I will be using it in India and have just ordered for an unlock code from cellunlock.
I want help to ensure I don't make the same mistakes some people have that might cause the Wi-Fi issue.
A motoblur account has already been created by the previous owner and i get the screen "Sim card is removed or changed , log into Motoblur to unlock".
I only have emergency call, set up APN, set up wi-fi and IMEI number as my options.
The wi-fi is connected at home to my router but I cant seem to access any browser -- everything leads me only to one screen which is the motoblur account screen as mentioned above.
I hence created a new Motoblur account on Motorola but I cannot log in -- " Username or Password incorrect"
(i) How do I use the new Motoblur account I created ? Should I ask the previous owner for his Motoblur username and password and then unlock it after receiving the unlock code from cellunlock ? (Read about IMEI# being tied to Motoblur)
(ii) Do I unlock it first after putting in my new sim and unlock code from cellunlock and then hard-reset the phone to enable my Motoblur account?
I want to be doubly sure to ensure I dont make any mistakes. The phone is with me in India and any pointers would be greatly appreciated
Update: Successfully unlocked using cellunlock code but still face problem of "Sim Card is changed or removed"
The indian Carrier Airtel is shown on the right top corner and the phone shows I'm connected to my homes netgear wi-fi but I can't access any browser.
I tired Hard resetting it as mentioned in one thread but it got stuck after choosing the Android Recovery selection -- A yellow triangle and Android logo appeared but nothing happened after Tapping the bottom-right corner of the screen.
Do i contact the original user of the phone for his motoblur Id?
Please help me guys.

Hi
I recently got HD2 (US) with tmobile after upgarde. My question is, "Is there any way to hide phone's identity on their website". Like for testing I checked website, it shows i am using HD2 -- then I took out the sim card and inserted in my old phone samsung katalyst...Next day i checked website it automatically changed information in my profile that I am now using samsung katalyst.
I want to know if is there any way to change some settings in phone or use some application, so when I put simcard back in HD2....It doesn't show on tmobile website, that I am using HD2. (by the way I got unlock code from t-mobile website - officially and have unlocked my HD2..if it helps to solve the question.)
Thanks
Hello All,
I recently rooted my ATT SGS2 and now it doesnt allow me to set a pin for the sim.
"Lock SIM card" under "Set up SIM card lock" is diabled and when I try to check it, it asks me a pin and when I enter some pin it says its a wrong pin. It only has 4 or 5 attempts and now I have only one attempt left. What is happening here. Any ideas?
I am unable to post link.
I just picked up my S2 last week and just started exploring this very thing. I thought it would be good to lock my SIM but, when I clicked on to use a pin and then change pin, it asks me for the old pin which I don't have. It went from 5 attempts left to one, even though I only entered one pin thinking I was setting it up. Now I'm afraid to touch it and I can't deselect the "Lock SIM Card" checkmark without entering a pin. I'm so confused. I've searched in XDA about it, but can't find anything.
Any gurus out there that might be able to help a twit that was smart enough to leave BB and come to Android?

Most likely its all 0's zeros.. that's what all my cell phones uses by default.
so if you purchased the phone brand new never used then 99% all zero's
Well, doing a little more searching and a -lot- more reading, I discovered that the 8 digit code is under your cell phone account at your carrier's site. I went to ATT, found the PUK code (eight digits). That's the pin. You enter that first, then you can change the pin to whatever you like. I opted to leave it alone.
This phone is locked and can not be unlocked.. I bought a phone on ebay plugged my Sim card in booted up and was prompted for an unlock code. I then called my service provider and he said he could not help with that but if I entered the wrong code in 10 times the phone would then ask for a puk Code. Well we completed this but it never asked for the PUK code. Instead, it gives me the message "This phone is locked and can not be unlocked"..
I have called the original service provider and the maker of the phone. AND WAS SENT TO AND FRO FROM ONE TO THE OTHER. I still have a locked network and "emergency calls only" at the bottom of the screen and "network locked" in the task bar. I found a website that gave me instructions to get to the screen where you can unlock the network by pressing 2945#*850# in the dialer which gives you 5 options;
Network unlock - where I get the same message again: this phone is locked and can not be unlocked
Service provider unlock - your phone is not personalized
Network SubSet- your phone is not personalized
Corporate- your phone is not personalized
SIM/USIM-your phone is not personalized
I really need help LG G3 850
Ps. when I called the original service provider and gave them the IMEI number she said the phone is clean and not blacklisted or any thing. Just FYI
Just unlocked my Poco. Since an account is associated with it, I need to unlock it. To unlock it I need to be connected to Internet. When I select my wifi network there is no keyboard to type a password. I have no service on Poco and recovery number was set to this phone number so I can't remove the device from Xiaomi account.
Any ideas?
Edit: Ok so I typed wifi pass in activate device input and copied it to wifi pass input. It connected, but to activate account I need mobile data. I have SIM card inside but no service. I have set a pin on SIM card maybe thats why?
I had same issue during associating phone with an account. I couldn't log in from my phone to mi account. Had to disable wifi and enable mobile data. Pretty autistic.
Ran into exactly same problem ?.
Put sim in another phone, enter pin, and receive unlock code for two step verification. Request unlock code on poco f1 over wifi.
I solved wifi problem by setting up open wifi network.
Yeah, drove to a friend who has phone with nano SIM card (my old one has micro) and managed to activate with his SIM card. I think I had no service because I had pin set up on SIM card while he didn't have pin set up.
Anyway problem solved
Hi everyone, I recently bought an used S8+ (G955F). The seller didn't say it had any problems. I happily went home, inserted my sim card and turned on the phone. Entered the pin code. Then it all went downhill really fast. I will list my observations here (tried with multiple sim cards from different carriers, same stuff every time):
Signal - 1/4 bars when out of the city, 4/4 when in the city.
When sim is inserted and the phone is turned on pin code is required.
When trying to call anyone, Not registered on network error is shown.
When trying to send an sms to anyone, "Currently unable to send your message . It will be sent when the service becomes available" error is shown.
When pressing Select network operator automatically in network settings, "Unable to connect. Try later" error is shown.
When pressing Select manually, "Error while searching for networks" error is shown.
Internet not working as well.
At first I thought it was a demo phone, checked IMEI and baseband version - they were there, so I think it isn't a demo phone.
Could you guys help me out in troubleshooting this device? Could that be a software or hardware problem? Any help will be appreciated <3
Some things I forgot to mention
MM#6 error is present.
However, I checked imei.info and imei24, the phone is not blacklisted on both. Also it shows as unlocked. What is going on
