I have a Rogers XT910 and my usual unlocker (cellunlock.net) gave me a code that doesn't work. I sent them an email and waiting on the reply, but I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of an inexpensive and reliable source for the codes. I wish there was a Samsung-style unlocking method!
Wait and see what cellunlock says. I bought the same Rogers RAZR and got my code from them. Worked on the first try too.
Did you get a reply. I placed an order with them yesterday to unlock my XT910 and I have had no reply. I've sent e-mail, called them... Live chat is down...
I got a reply stating they would try a different server or something to that affect. But nothing since yesterday. Tried an ebay seller, got a refund. Tried Cellunlocker and they said I entered the wrong lock code too many times! (I'm not a noob, lol I have had 5 phones this year alone ). thankfully I emailed them first before I bought another code.
Its not a stinking iFail. All I want to do is moto cast (and webtop eventually) on my Bell line with the old unlimited data plan!
Finally got my unlock code last night. Took a little while but at least it worked right out of the box. Got a little scared that my data wasn't working, but I just had to manually configure the APN.

Hi All,
First, I hope this is the right section & I hope I am not duplicating another thread. I have a odd situation I think and I don't know what to do. I picked up my Atrix 4G off of craigslist a few days back. The phone is great but it will not accept my ATT sim card. It asked to enter the unlock code for the sim. It's an ATT phone so I am not sure why my sim doesn't work (Same sim card works in unlocked Vibrant). So, I purchased the unlock codes from two separate places and the codes were the same and did not work when I enter them.
I am at a lost now. I don't know what to do.
Any ideas are appreciated?
Oh yeah, I am not sure what the previous did but before I even put my sim, I did use the bypass Motoblur method to use the phone with sim & blur. I did use aroot and glad enable also. After the sim would not work, I wiped data, created a blur account and tried sim again but no success.
Please help me, I want to use this awesome phone!
did you get this resolved? i am having the same issue
Nope. Still not fixed. I am not sure what to do at this point.
i have the same problem..maybe the case is that you entered the incorrect code more than 10 times?
Have you checked that the IMEI code printed under the battery matches the one displayed on screen?
I was under the impression that if you blow the 10 unlock attempts you will have to wait several hours to try again. In other words, it will not permanently lock.
I might be wrong though.

How many numbers do you have in your unlock code which you are entering into the phone?
Op,
You might have ruined something software wise, did you try flashing a full sbf version 4.1.8.3 preferably ?
I think it should work for you.
there are 8 digits in my unlock code and the imei is the same in the box, under the battery and in the phone
Same issue - No solution
I have same issue with Atrix bought on local craigslist. I have tried restoring to multiple stock versions.
AT&T spent two hours figuring out the issue and they tried even entering correct unlock code.
They asked me to contact motorola as they feel it is software issue. I will Motorola on Tuesday and post the result.
Hi I have the Exact same issue. The Atrix that i got off Craigslist were sealed. And I tried unlock code for Tmobile network off three different sites and still no luck in the locking the phone. So i went and i got Att sims and said the same thing "Sim Network Unlock Pin"
Anywho, I went to Att store and they couldn't figured out and they dont have a phone in stock to trade in. So after many attempt with Att and their customer service, they advise me to contact Motorola.
The funny thing is that i've sent the phone to Motorola two times and clearly stated my issue with the phone and they did not fix it and just send the phone back to me. So i got piss after wasting 350$ on a phone that i can't use and another 30 Bucks for shipping the phone to Motorola. I contact directly to their tech and the tech support ask me to call ATT. LOL right? So one of the tech just offer me a free shipping so they can take A CLOSER LOOK into it.
Apparently Motorola doesn't do phone exchange all they do is repair it. Any exchange would have to deal with ATT and for that to happen you would have to sign up a warranty plan with them which is $5/month.
So i got one last shot at this. and I'll keep you guys post on update. Sorry for my poor English.
So strange as they are unlocked, im using an AT&T atrix in Australia without issue.
Perhaps the phones have been banned somehow?
BUMP.. Anyone find a solution to this yet??
i leave my phone with the error message and the screen on, for at least 2 weeks and nothing!!
i hope no damage my phone with that time with the screen on
I have the same issue. From AT&T explained me that after 5th wrong attempt, the phone will be permanently locked to AT&T. Anybody has a solution for this?
I tried it alll tooooooooooo !!!
My phone was locked to orange network UK. I wanted to use a VIRGIN network Sim card... SO I called the VIRGIN Network technical support team... and this Silly girl keep on giving me few codes till ......IT STOPPED RESPONDING to any code.. so the phone now will not take any codes. I bought many codes in hope from websites..none worked.
I called ORANGE ..but they had no clue tooooo...
I unlocked the bootlooger thing too. I flashed it few times in hope....and I DID what ever I could do but in vain......
I hope we get some smart ass genius to get the break to this problem....!!!
Very similar issue here. I was in Costa Rica for a month and requested the SIM network unlock from ATT and they provided as it had been 6 months after my purchase. The code did not work in Costa Rica and only used WIFI while over there. I got back to the States yesterday and it still doesn't work, and by now have definitely attempted to enter the code 10 or more times. Its supposedly locked to ATT after 10 unsuccessful attempts but it will not work even with my original ATT SIM.
ATT sent me a new Atrix but I would like to get this one working as well. I have a few questions.
If I root is there any apps designed for root to unlock?
If not will a custom Rom bypass the need to unlock or be unlocked already?
If neither of these work is the phone basically bricked simply because the code (provided by ATT) was entered incorrectly 10 times?
THANKS!
i have the exact same issue the phone was from att but the seller say its unlocked for any company,not rooted , not unlocked, only upgrade via ota from froyo to gingerbread,i wish a solution for that,if anyone find a solution please post!! thanks
alberto
well I went ahead and rooted and unlocked. Going to flash a custom and see what happens. Ill keep you updated.
UPDATE: Tried CM7, Didnt fix. :/
I have exactly the same problem. I have tried unlock the boot loader. My phone already show unlocked on top left screen when power on.
Idk why It still ask for Sim network unlock code when I put my T-mobile Sim in and power up.
It seems hopeless to me after trying to search for someday.
I have tried many some rom.
Please anyone help us..
Thank you very much
FYI, Press #073887* on atrix will bring you to the screen which ask:
"Sim network unlock PIN:"
Dear friend it is seems to me that I am in big trouble.
I bought a locked at&t motorola atrix 4g from ebay,
I have tried several services on ebay and nothing. All say code not found.
I called the AT&T, one of their employers check the imei and say to me that there is no code for this IMEI.
Please what can I do??
PS"
I dont live in USA!
Double check your code. Code is case sensitive and some 0 could be O. It happened to me the first time. 1 could be I etc.
Maybe the phone was previously unlocked then it was restored using sbf.

This happened with my ebay Atrix. From my understanding, Ebay unlockers for the most part access the same servers as AT&T and weren't any luck for me. You need to go through a slightly more expensive online unlocker service that can go through Motorola's servers.
I can't remember which specific service I used (cell unlocker?) but there are several sites. I went through one that had to escalate my case and got back to me the next day with the code; while that was pending, I went through another service and was unlocked within the hour.
Thank you all guys. After 6 negative replies, cellunlocker found my code. They done it for 7.5 dollars which was slightly more expensive but was a big relief. They said that have searched in e second database because in the first did not find anything. I feel lucky because the option to search in Motorola database was even more expensive.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
Hi there! I know I'm about to ask something stupid.
I've owned and modded a Defy for almost 2 years, and today I got a second hand MB860 (I found that you call it Atrix 4G; here we've got no 4G for the time being, so it is just an "Atrix"). The fact is that it's still simlocked, and in a few months I might need to ask the guy who buyed it a the phone company to ask there for the subsidy code, or pay someone to give it to me.
One of the guys who unlocks cell phones over here, in a forum, has said that it is necessary for the phone to have the Stock ROM at the moment of entering the subsidy code. Honestly I didn't believe him, I've always been convinced that there is no way for the ROM to interfere at the moment of simunlocking a cell phone. Am I wrong? At the moment of introducing the subsidy code, does it need something special? I've been searching here, but found nothing yet.
The problem about this is that that guy says "Ok, if you don't want to believe me, don't do it. Try it on another ROM, but I won't give your money back if my subsidy code just doesn't work". I wouldn't like to lose 25 USD without the possibility of complaining to the guy, and I'm a bit curious about what he says.
Thanks in advance!
Hey i recently unlocked my atrix on a rom that isnt stock. It shouldn't matter which rom you use. What i did was call AT&Ts wireless department. I didnt know which specific department i needed so i waited until i was transferred to a real person and told them I needed to unlock my phone which had been under contract with them a long time ago. I was actually never in a contract with them as the phone was a gift but they didnt ask any firther questions. So they transferred me. Told me to give them the IMEI number and told me to wait while they look it up. They then instructed me to put a sim card from another company to get the sim unlock prompt to popup. I put in the code they gave me and i succesfully unlocked my atrix. I did this on monday and used a tmobile sim i had lying around. I was given the code within 10 mins. Best of luck

Thanks! I think I will keep reading a little so as to mod it (I found the Atrix a little bit riskier than the Defy) and then unlock it.
There is always the option of flashing stock again, but I'd like to avoid it .
Im making this quick cause I have to leave soon so here we go
I bought my phone from Swappa a couple of months ago and being waiting for the unlock code to be release.
Well I call AT&T today around 7 am( eastern time) cause I knew that Nokia contract with At&T was over today.
I was honest and told them i didnt have an account with them cause i have T-Mobile and that I just want the unlock code .
They were very nice and after a few minutes i got my code
PEOPLE DONT PAY ANY SERVICE TO GET YOUR PHONE UNLOCK JUST CALL AT&T AND BE HONEST
I uploaded a picture with proof that my phone is unlock if you don't want to believe me go ahead. It doesn't matter to me my phone already unlock
Thank you peconaut!
I just called AT&T International (+1 916 843 4685) telling them that few months ago I have received my Lumia 980 as a gift, I'm not a customer of AT&T therefore I don't have account Id.
The lady asked me to wait a bit (and while waiting I wrote down my IMEI using *#06#), then she asked for my IMEI number and gave me the unlock code over the phone (I thought I will receive it via email).
It was as simple as that!
Just Got Mine

He is quite right. I just called and got mine too, like 5 minutes ago. I called the International Line and they just gave it to me with no questions asked. Good Luck to everyone and do not pay. Just call, I don't think they even care for the reason. I bought mine off contract 2 months ago. It was a long wait but worth it.
I got my unlock code today in few minutes via chat for me and my wife. I talk to Julio Hernandez. Chat: http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/international/roaming/affordable-world-packages.jsp
Good luck guys!
Yup, this is legit, just got off the phone with ATT(international number), took about 5 mins, told her I got the phone off contract and wasn't a customer.

Unbelievable guys, I bought it off eBay 4 months ago, called the international line. Not an ATT customer.
No questions asked. The whole call lasted under 2 min.

Hi!
does 4g network works on your lumia 920? How does MMS work?
Has anybody able to unlock a 920 bought from amazonwireless but using straighttalk?
I unlocked my 920 as well... now to see if I can activate the 1700 band all the phones have laying dormant...
im not getting any data.
edit: Fixed it in the settings. Also It says 4g. Is the there a way to know if it has LTE bands for T-mobile?
For me it took 2 calls. First I called their international 1-800 number, but after checking the IMEI the person on the other told me that since I'm not an ATT customer I have to go through www.att.com/deviceunlock. I went and submitted the request there, but it told me that I needed to fax in proof of purchase and that the whole process would take 5 business days. So I called the other 1-800 number (US support) and the lady on the phone gave me a working unlock code right away.
I wasn't lucky properly cutting my old TMO sim (the phone was telling "No Sim") so I had to go into the store and replace it with the new micro-SIM. With the new sim and unlock code everything works like a charm!
Now the question is has anyone who is still or just recently got the phone on contract able to get an unlock code for theirs?
AT&T Customer Service
AT&T Customer Service - 800-331-0500
Hit 0 twice to get a customer service rep. The rep I got was great... very polite and helpful, apologizes for the long wait for the unlock code and said it was out of their hands.
Good luck everyone!

Thank you for this link. I got my unlock code today via chat online. The instructions were given to unlock my AT&T Lumia 920.
Hey Guys!
I just called AT&T customer service from Ireland to request an unlock code for my Lumia 920 but no luck, the're saying that they don't unlock phones for non AT&T customers.
Is there any walkaround? Would anyone mind to request this unlock code for me? The IMEI is 3536 8005 0140 831.
If I have to pay something I will, but I just refuse to give money to a bunch of scummers like cellunlock and company..
Thanks.
The workaround is simple - be persistent It took me 2 calls to get my unlock code, first time I was told the exact same thing. Also, first time I called their "international support" (1-800-222-0300), and didn't get the code. Then I called their regular support (1-800-331-0500), honestly told that I'm in Canada and don't have any ATT services, bought my phone for full price at Microsoft store, and was given the code right away.

I ordered my unlock code from cellunlock.net months ago. I emailed and emailed originally and finally got a canned response about how they could unlock the phone but it will rake a while. Two days ago I emailed them and said it's May, At&T is unlocking them, where is my code? I got a real response saying I would have the code in a few hours. 24 hours later, no code. I emailed again and was told I would have it in an hour. This time I got the code. It worked! I just finished setting up my wife's white Lumia 920.
I wouldn't call cellunlock.net scammers but I do think it was dishonest to take money MONTHS before you could actually unlock the phones.

I'm 99% sure all they did for the $40 (or however much you paid them at the time) was calling ATT (possibly couple of times) and getting the unlock code directly from them. Is that worth the money spent? I would understand if you would not otherwise be able to obtain the code for free (like in case of Rogers, for which they most likely have the bases), but with ATT they were not able to unlock it while the exclusive agreement was on, and once it expired, there's no point in using their services for ATT.
That may very well be true but since I live in Canada and have no connection to AT&T I am not sure I could just call them and get a code.
Man, read my first post in this thread This is EXACTLY what I did - called them, told them I live in Canada and don't have any business with ATT, that I bought the phone at Microsoft Store, and they gave me the code. Try the second phone from the post, if they deny, just hang up and try again.
I told them I got the phone as a gift and needed it unlocked..
The entire process from dialing to hanging up, took 3mins and 10 seconds
Try asking to open up case number. Tell them you bought phone out right. I had to fax my receipt to them for proof of purchase. I got email day later with code. As I am inpatient I called the international number an hour after I faxed receipt and opened case. They gave me code over phone. Keep trying don't take no as answer as they told me I needed to wait additional 6 months. Basically you need to say that another rep said your phone was eligible last week and to phone back after may 9th. Then they will begin process
you can also get the unlock by CHATTING with the ATT customer service. Only 2 things you must have are a usa phone number and chat english.

You have to put the unlock code in with the original SIM card in place first. After the code is accepted you can then change SIM cards.
