Is there any way at all to unlock the atrix for free? i mean unlock it to all networks not unlock the bootloader or anything. im on orange btw.
My carrier, AT&T, allows me to get 5 free unlock codes every year. Maybe your carrier allows the same? Try calling them and asking for a SIM unlock code and give them your phone's IMEI number.

i've got T-Mobile HD2 and it is locked on T-mobile network

Buy a code, eBay or websites. No free unlock.

You can unlock the HTC HD2 easily using the UNLOCK CODE,You can buy the unlock code from the site Mobileunlocksolutions.com/htc-hd2/rs1wp9/ and Unlock it from Network lock,then use with any GSM Network Sim card.
I unlocked a T-Mobile USA & European HD2 here
Got codes back in under 48hrs & even contacted me to correct IMEI as I done a typo, oops ... codes worked fine & are so simple to use.
I am going to get the note but when i research on unlocking it i found the modem t unlock that makes it works with tmobile hspa+, but when i go on craigslist to to buy it they sell the note with "imei" unlock....whats the difference?...
IMEI Unlock = SIM/Network Unlock
If your phone is AT&T Network locked, you can use your phone with only AT&T sim cards.
So If phone is Network Unlocked, you can use it with any sim card.
Modem unlock will make your phone able to connect T-Mobile's Mobile Network (it unlocks the frequencies that hardware supports but not software)

There is no better or worse - if you want to use AT&T and have an AT&T SIM, then you don't need either.
If you want to use T-Mobile then you need to IMEI unlock the device so it accepts a T-Mobile SIM, then you need to install the T-Mobile Modem if you want speeds beyond 2G EDGE.
TL;DR: IMEI Unlock lets you use a non AT&T SIM in the device, Modem "Unlock" lets you use T-Mobile's 3G frequencies along with that T-Mobile SIM.
Can anyone point me to a good write up on how to install the Tmobile modem?
I am rooted and IMEI unlocked. Sorry just new to this stuff.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
all i had to do (after root and unlock) was flash the "Blaze 4G modem" through Clockwork mod, from AllGamer's thread. that opened up the AWS frequencies.

so basically you need both unlocks to use it on t-mobile....imei to use t-mobie sim card and modem unlock to use 3g/4g speeds on t-mobile network....and i heard u still get a weak signal .....dont know if affects your experience as in dropped calls and slow data ect ect...but um @ schuflea http://rootgalaxynote.com it will tell you how to install anything on your galaxy note...good luck ..
if any one is still thinking about getting a gnote.....you should wait...its officially coming out for t-mobile....well thats wuts going around the net....theres even pictures of it with t-mobile branding.....you should wait like a month...its 4/28/12 wait till 5/28/12 lol....see wut happens....
I am trying to swich my sprint note 3 to straight talk.
I spoke with sprint and they told me they could not unlock international sim because it is done online and the phone i bought is not currently active. they also said i could unlock the phone with a master subsidy lock code. i acquired the code but i have no method in which to use it.
is there a number i can punch in with this code to unlock the sim from saying invalid sim?
Got a secondhand mint condition V35 off Ebay. It was listed as "for AT&T only and I cannot unlock." Submitted an unlock request to AT&T and got approved. If I insert a non-AT&T sim (I've tried a deactivated Verizon and an active US Cellular) I get no prompt for unlock code at all.
Checking the device itself via 2945#*350# (which brings up the SIM Unlock Process menu), all five options (Network Lock, Service Provider Lock, NetworkSubset lock, Corporate lock, SIM/USIM lock) show "Your phone is not personalized." Which in all previous cases to my knowledge, means the phone is already unlocked.
The problem? The US Cellular SIM is active, but I get the "Emergency Calls Only" result when I attempt to use it. Granted US Cellular is CDMA, but any 4G/LTE bands require a SIM regardless of carrier. So I expected it to work. I'm puzzled and am wondering if someone can tell me what I'm overlooking?
Will it be possible to root an AT&t variant? The OEM unlocking is grayed out so that it cannot be switched, but I've seen instances in the past such as the Verizon model I had a few years ago but still possible to achieve root.
You need to have the service provider SIM card unlock the phone first. If you are on an installment/monthly payment plan it can be harder to convince the provider to unlock the phone, but it is possible. Once the phone is SIM card unlocked, the OEM Unlocking option will be available in settings.
Of course this is on a non-Verizon version. Usually the Verizon versions will have the OEM Unlocking option greyed out even if the phone is SIM card unlocked. (But there have been models that Verizon didn't OEM lock, so we really won't know for sure until we hear from some Verizon customers).

call their customer support, ask if the bootloader can be unlock once you paid off the phone, if thats the case I think you can root.
