Hello,after recieving a replacement atrix from a seller(old one hat the reboot issue) i recieved a new one,which was already running 2.3.4 but i don't know in which status it is and if i can run the automatic bootloader unlock script on it,because i don't want to end up with a bricked phone.
If you read the instructions, understanding them and understanding what you going to do, you won't end up with a bricked phone.
Just read everything before doing any step and understand every step.
And if something goes wrong, there are people who will help you that know how to help you fix your device.
AT&T device ?
On 1.26/1.57/1.83/4.5.91 ?
Check when you turn on the phone that its not showing the Unlocked near the motorola logo. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=667216&d=1311734310)
If you sure that everything is OK, go ahead and unlock your Atrix
Make sure you read all the instructions and following them.
Good luck, have fun.

So this is the thing. I recently acquired a wallaby pw10b1 and as it is locked to T-Mobile in the USA, i would like to unlock it. in order to do so i came across this great site and read through a bunch of "experiences"(if you will) and was confident enough to try it myself. i went through the unlock wiz method of unlocking and what happened next i dont understand. i tried booting up a new OS i guess and now i dont have the original one, or the new one.
I know that i am fairly new at this but i think that if explained right, i can do it. Now I am in a forced state where i need to get this working again because the phone is my fathers and he needs it to work. i dont mind if i get the original t-mobile OS back on there or one that is unlocked.
If anybody can please help me step by step on how to do this i would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for all your time.
So what is the current state of your device when you power it up? What happens?
If you press the power button and do a soft resert, what do you see on the screen?

you know what. i guess i got so frustrated with it that i fixed it. i don't know how i did it, but i know that i don't want to mess with it anymore. i actually installed the special rom edition one because it said that it came with a program to unlock it during startup but it didn't. i still have locked phone. but at least it works now.
i know this has probably been asked about 3,000 times, but if i got the 'can't get unlock code.... SID:' message, does anyone know how to get it unlocked even after getting this message?
thanks in advace and thank you lumpistefan for your interest.
So, you have currently installes the Special Edition ROM. Tjats ok. Whoch Radio Version do you have installed. Not all Radio Versions work for unlocking....

Just as the title states...
I have completed the process on the HTCDev site many many times. The process itself works fantastic. Each step responds exactly how they state it should. I submit the token code and get a Bin file. Using fastboot to flash the Bin file results in the phone prompting me to unlock the bootloader. I select yes using the volume up and then hit power. The phone powers off and reboots restoring everything to factory. So it would seem that everything works correctly. I get no error messages during the process. I get nothing but the results that I should be expecting...EXCEPT...
The bootloader remains locked.
I'm beyond frustrated at this point. I've followed every single set of instructions just thinking maybe there's a step missing in one of them. Yet they all perform the same. End result...Bootloader still locked. No idea what is going on. Called HTC Tech Support and they weren't any help at all. Basically they said to leave a comment on the HTCDev site.
Any ideas???
Have you tried flashing anything even though it still says locked? It is a longshot, but there is a chance it is unlocked but just still says locked.

Since it's getting wiped anyway, exchange the phone for a new one.

I second that, I had a problem Unlocking my Rezound, I called HTC they said they dont replace phones and to call VZW. I called VZW told them that HTC told me to call for a replacement, they gave me a hard time. I told them as a developer, not being able to unlock my phone is a detrimental to my livelyhood. They sent me a refurb (standard) and I had no problems unlocking it. I posted my saga over in general you can see it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416472
i just got my warranty replace atrix and i was trying to unlock it with the guides on here. i did it correctly last summer but for some reason the phone didnt take the fix too well. now rsd lite is saying error code unable to retrieve interface handle and says theres no os. what can i do to fix this? thanks in advance
I was given a new S2 on Orange (running ICS) which I didn't want or need, so I sold it. The person who bought it said she wanted an unlocked phone to use on another network and I told her she could get this phone unlocked, either for free, if she googled it (using a couple of apps that root then unlock) or from most phone shops. She bought it on that proviso.
I received a call from her today - she is complaining that she tried the "free" way - which didn't work, then tried a number of phone shops, every one of which said that the phone couldn't be unlocked.
She may have done the "free" way incorrectly therefore making it impossible for the phone to now be unlocked. I feel somewhat responsible but don't want to take back the phone now. I said I would call in to try to help her when I'm next in her area. Is there anything I can do to get the phone unlocked now?
Any help and advice would be very welcome and thank you in advance.
I doubt there is anything that can be done and the assistance you are asking may not be forthcoming from this forum.

Whoever tries to unlock the phone will need some basic knowledge in this area and needs to understand all the risks associated with this process. If you can tick off these two boxes just follow a few simple steps (just done that myself and can confirm it works fine):
1. Root your GS2 (plenty of threads on this forum)
2. Go to Google Play and search for "Galaxy S Unlock", the author is "Helroz".
3. Run the app from step 2. Go to "Unlock SGSII" tab on the top of the screen.
4. Tap on the first item:"Step 1 Backup files...."
5. Tap on the second item:"Step 2 Change lock-bytes", and wait until your phone restarts.
That's it.
No chance. If mobile repair shops can't unlock it, no way anything from Google Play (or anywhere else, Unlock SGSII included) will unlock it. Somebody is paying for an unlock code from a carrier.
u mite wanna chk dese links

This is the way to do it. It works because i did it this way 2 months ago on my orange uk I9100P last week on my draughts new I9100P. You might have to update your bussybox that's all
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Many thanks to everyone for their inputs, I really appreciate it. I'll be trying today/tomorrow to sort it and will update with result.
Cheers everyone.
All done successfully - many thanks to all who replied to my plea for help.
i am having samsung galaxy s2 I9100 .i brought it second hand.i dont know that it is not factory unlocked.now i flashed my s2 to leaked XXLSJ 4.2.1.now my device is asking for sim card unlock code.what should i do.....plzzzz help
OK first time in this forum, (so please be kind!!)
I'm not a total newbie to android - Google Nexus One - CM7.2 and SGS CM9.
Currently :
S2 GT-i9100P
Android 4.0.4
Baseband - I9100PBVLPB
Kernel - 3.0.15-I9100BULPC-CL332484
Build no. IMM76D.BVLPC
Was originally running 2.3.6 GB but updated via KIES to 4.0.4
Rooted with CF-Root
Yes, I have backed up my efs file
Yes. I have the dodgy emmc chip
NO!! Not bothered with NFC as probably gonna go CM10 when succesfully unlocked.
I've tried all the unlocking routes, free and paid (still waiting for several refunds!!). "Helroz" works, but if phone is restarted, have
to run app again to get unlock.
Does anyone have a permanent fix?
If it were for me, then no problem running Helroz every time, but it's for my daughter so want something permanent.
Going to go to a "phone shop" tomorrow to see what they can do....But much prefer to get it sorterd here with people that know and care!!
Thanks in advance
OK After MORE searching, finally found the thread for "GalaxySim Unlock 1.02" Duly downloaded and works a treat. I have thanked in that thread.
Hello, I just recently got an Atrix off of ebay. I want to get into playing witih android phones. I've already read numerous threads, got the android sdk, rsd lite, etc.. I've been reading about flashing, and to be careful of what you flash based on what firmware versions are already on the phone.
The problem I have is the phone is subsidy locked, but it's locked in a way that not even AT&T sims work. It always asks for the pin, and the code AT&T gave me (they stated it was the subsidy unlock code) fails. So I looked at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356121
However, I have no idea what's on this phone. I can't access any settings menu in the phone, as it sticks to the "Emergency Calls Only" screen. i don't know what firmware is on the phone, what radio is on it, etc.. I don't want to try to flash a radio file and have it brick my phone. I've read quite a bit this past hour, but I'm at a crossroads here and don't know what to do to figure out what is exactly on this phone. If I knew what I had exactly, I'd be a lot more confident in flashing things.
I do know the bootloader is unlocked (the phone boots saying "Unlocked"). That's all I know :\
EDIT: Disregard. It took me another 6 hours but I finally got everything figured out (had to boot it with no sim to view things, then from there I got into it all). Rooted, CWM, flashed the bell radio and my sim works for now. Thanks for the valuable info that's listed here!
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks!
hey,
I do have the atrix which is netwoek subsidy locked.
I even cant use at&t. I am outside us currently.
Could you tell me how did you flashed bell radio & where u got that.
Thanks
