I'm thinking about buying a SGS2 on Ebay. There are a lot of phones there locked to Orange and some other carriers. I wonder if it's easy to unlock it?

i think there is an application in the market that lets you do that, also i might have seen the app here somewhere. But its definately unlockable

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?

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.

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.
Thanks everyone.

Hi, does anyone know where to unlock the phone? I tried cellunlocker.net and talked with At&t they both don't have it. Where else can we get a unlock code.

I believe you're looking for the htcdev website. New member, unable to post links, just google it.
I'm looking for sim unlock

I'm in the same boat. Purchased at no commitment price, and AT&T is unable/unwilling to give me the unlock code. Kind of annoying!
That's AT&T for you. I've tried in numerous phones to get my SIM unlocked and no go...

That hasn't been my experience with them. I just got an unlock code for my old HTC Aria when I got the One X. Just went to their website and used the support chat feature. Now if your phone is subsidized you may have trouble.

I wonder if that was the issue. Because I always have been under contract when trying. Thanks for the heads up.

You might try calling them and telling them you are planning a trip outside the country and need to SIM unlock so you can use a prepaid SIM. That has worked for others in the past.
Good luck!
I SIM unlock phones and they aren't free. I buy and resell the codes. Shoot me your IMEI number, the country and carrier it is locked to in a PM. I'll see if it can be unlocked. If it can be, it will be a bit pricey since they just released a new service for HTC phones.
Need to unlock!!

Hi, did you end up finding some that can unlock it? I'm in the same boat its been 3d ays. Really annoyed.
Any News about this yet ?
Cant unlock it either
I wish I had read this thread earlier.
Just bought the One X+ at a no-commitment price.
AT&T reps online and in the store told me they'd unlock it. But now that I talk to them, they say they cant/wont :/

Talk to hasoon, he should be able to help
I think the main reason you can't unlock your phone is that ATT won't let you unlock it when your using the phone while your on a plan. When you upgrade to a new phone or change phones then you can unlock your old one. Source: experience

Hasoon is a great guy and I'v talked to him.
Unfortunately, he cant help.
I talked to AT&T international (1-800-335-4685). I'v heard they are pretty relaxed about unlocking phones.
Also, I bought mine at the no-commitment price.
The rep on the phone agreed to unlock my X+ and asked for my IMEI#. But after he put it into the system, he said AT&T can't unlock it till May 16th 2013.
I'v heard AT&T tends to do this when it has an exclusive phone.
But this might just be me. You guys should try this and see if it works.
Still no luck ...anyone ?

Try canada unlock gsm. it worked out for mine. Maybe he can unlock the at&t model. Anyway he was the only one capable of unlocking mine when everyone said no.
At some stage ill be selling my Galaxy S3 and purchasing a Sony Xperia Z or maybe a Galaxy S4 depending if it doesn't have plastic casing.
Anyway I'll most likely have to flash the stock ROM but I'm just wondering if it will remain unlocked to all networks, before I installed the Galaxy sim unlock it was locked to 3 Ireland, it's always more appealing to potential customers when they see a phone is unlocked, i assume it will stay unlocked but just to be sure though I'd ask on here.
Cheers

Does anyone know this for sure as I don't want to be in a situation where I am selling the phone as being unlocked to all networks and it turns out it's simlocked!
I would assume this galaxy unlock still works even after the completely reverting to stock?

I'm new to Android.. coming from iPhone and WP7/8.
I love the HTC one and paid cash for this phone. I hate being controlled by the carrier when it comes to updates.... I know now.. that next time I will buy a unlocked/developer version if available.
My question is this. Being that it is an AT&T version, can i unlock the boot loader (assuming they haven't stopped this yet) and enable receiving my software updates directly from HTC? Just like the Dev phones.
I'm not so interested in "rooting" and loading custom Rom's at this point.. i just want to make sure i get the updates ASAP.. I don't want to wait on AT&T. (I wouldn't mind deleting some of the AT&T crap off the phone though)
I have searched Google and this forum and can not find an answer that is in such simple terms that i understand it lol ... sorry if this is a stupid question.
No.

Why would you buy an att device to use on tmo anyways?

You can unlock the bootloader, you'll need the carrier's help to SIM unlock. Check out the tutorial in the development section.
Unlocking your bootloader has nothing to do with when your phone gets updated.

Also, I don't believe that T-Mobile 4G HSPA or 4G LTE will work on the AT&T version. (But I wonder if the T-Mobile version of the phone will work on AT&T's network?)
If you want to run on T-Mobile US, you need the T-Mobile US version of the phone.
Hey just had a quick question hope it gets answered I buy and sell phones a lot and have T-Mobile and use a lot of at&t unlocked phones normally I would call att and they would give me an unlock code for free now you have to do it from a website and have to be an att user so my question is does anyone know of a site or program or something that I can unlock phones threw for FREE
