hey guys is there anyway i can unlock the atrix without calling att or spending any money? for my s2, there was an app on the market that did everything. i thought that unlocking the boot loader would let me use another sim, so now i am unlocked and rooted on 2.3.4. but it did not work. Cant i just flash a rom that unlocks my sim, if so what rom?
THANKS
it's easy. Just go to AT&T support page & choose live agent. If you don't get anyone now just wait 5/6 minutes till anyone becomes free. When anyone start chatting with you simple tell your need. He'll ask your IMEI. Give it & he'll give you the unlock code instantly
Contacting AT&T is not an option. I do not have a account. Is there any other way I can do it without contacting AT&T or spending money? My phone has unlocked boot loader and is on rooted 2.3.4.

Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting an Atrix 4G, and I wanted to know... does rooting your phone unlock it?
If not, how do you unlock the phone without having to go to some unreliable website??b

Rooting just gives you Admin rights to your device.
Unlocking it is a completely different thing. Most people buy an unlock code off of eBay...

cellunlock.net 15 bucks for a moto unlock, enter android50 as your coupon and it's 50% off!
I've unlocked 5 phones in the last month, some codes I got within an hour, one of them took just under 24 hours.
I noticed the other day that ATT now has a link on your account page that spits out the unlock code for free.

Never mind. I just reread the link and it was how to get a code to *UNBLOCK* the sim card, not unlock. I really should wear my glasses more often.

So does unlocking mean it unlocks the phone like a root, or does it mean you can use the phone on any carrier?

Means you can use it on a different carrier.

Hello, I want to know how to unlock a Motorola Atrix 4G AT&T to work in any network.
Thanks a lot and God bless you all.
Call AT&T. They give several free sim unlock codes per year. You'll need the imei number.

Okay thank you very much, I bought one from eBay and I'm talk-type with the seller thru AOL Mail so it will be no problem to him to tell AT&T to give the unlock code.
att unlock
i ordered the code from a vendor and called and got it from att myself! that code DID NOT WORK! to unlock my atrix 4g... i even followed instructions on here to unlock the bootloader (which i did successfully) and was about to go alllllllllll the way, rooting etc.. and ended up having to sell the phone. i just got the atrix 2 and finally got it unlocked (YEAHHH) and now am thinking of unlocking the bootloader on it.

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?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
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.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
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
I had unlocked my ATT S2 using official code from ATT. However after resetting my phone recently my phone is locked again. I had saved that code which they sent me to unlock my phone. However that code doesn't work anymore. Any suggestions on what I should do?
thanks
N
I would suggest you call AT&T.
I called ATT and got a new unlock code from them. However his unlock code is not working. I will try to call them again tomorrow.

If possible take a corporate store location. If the next code doesn't work.

there were threads about that, but I think that things have changed so much that the processes that were talked about are now extinct.

if posted in the wrong place sorry:good:, did not know where to post. could direct me to the correct location?
anyway can anyone help me?
need to unlock the sim card for all operators but can not find a solution.
I saw several links that say get the unlock code but are paid and have not seen any reference in forums on reliable sites. does anyone know any programs or trusted site and that really get the unlock code?
Thank you for your cooperation.
Unlock codes can be purchased online for just a few bucks. Idk if I'm allowed to list sites here or not but here is the one I use the most for unlocking phones Cellunlocker.net I've unlock alot of phones with their service for just a few bucks. I think the last time I unlocked a Atrix 4G it cost about $15

unlock your phone and install an international rom.

I'm assuming by "unlock" you mean unlocking the bootloader and then flash a custom rom. This wouldn't gsm unlock a phone to a different carrier.

when i unlocked mine it now shows all networks when i have no sim card installed. havent tried another carriers sim card in it to see if it works sorry if i was incorrect.
I'm on the same boat, I bought an Atrix 4g on amazon which was supposed to be gsm unlocked, but the only thing it had unlocked was the bootloader. I couldn't return it since I'm from Venezuela so I have to look for a way to unlock it.
I went to a store where they do this kind of stuff, the guy had some "zunzun" software to do it but it said something about the firmware being incompatible (android 2.3.6 4.5.141), I guess if downgrading doesn't work I'll end up buying an unlock code on one of those websites. I preferred the other method because I can pay with the local coin instead of buying expensive dollars...
@rdz420, please update if you manage to unlock it.
I've unlocked my Atrix 4G here, they are legit and it's cheap.

Take in mind that some AT&T phones can't be unlocked via code.. that's what they told me. (Mine is UK Orange, so I could unlock it :good
hey guys
I did not unlock the phone yet, but I spent a few shops that do unlocking here in Brazil, the majority says that the cel need to try to generate the code, but how they are generating the code? will be a trusted site?
Besides this method gave some research on kernel change, it seems that with the change of kernel + rom the phone would be unlocked with the network. right? anyone have any positive experience in the area?
thanks
Bootloader unlock = you can flash roms
sim unlock = you can use on other networks
One does not rely on the other, and i haven't seen any issues with one affecting the other

As @palmbeach05 said, both are independant. Bootloader unlock (thus installing new roms and kernels) doesn't unlock for any carrier and sim unlock by itself won't allow you to install new roms and kernels.
