Hey,
I'm about to order my Atrix online, however I'm not quite sure yet, because I'm going to take this phone back to germany, so I've still got some questions:
1. So the Atrix 4G is only available with an AT&T branding, right?
2. I've heard, that some people that bought a AT&T Atrix and unlocked and then put a different sim card in couldn't connect to wifi. Does anybody know, whether these issues remain? (I'm planning on getting this http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Atri..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1327726863&sr=1-1)
3. Is there any way to remove the AT&T branding completly through software or something like that?
4. If the Atrix has still got issues, what about the Atrix 2, is it possible for that phone to work properly in germany?
Thanks in advance
There are no more issues with that, you will probably need to simunlock it though. Secondly for the price maybe rather look into some other manufacturers top end phone, as it looks now the atrix won't be getting official ICS, so your kind of stuck with it than...

Currently got a T-Mobile HD2 and unlocked it, obviously I only got edge. Is there anything I can do (radios/roms etc.) to get 3G working on this phone? If I would have known this before hand I would have never put myself in this situation
Kept reading into it, guess not. Fail.
Sorry but yeah there is no way short of replacing the antenna to get 3g on the T-mobile version. Piece of advice before you ever get another unlocked device is do your homework on it. Ill close this now that you found your answer
I currently have an Atrix with ATT and won a Motorola Contest for the new Razr Maxx, well I don't have Verizon but wouldnt mind using the Razr if I could buy an unlock code ( I would also have to get a micro sim card since Atrix has a regular size) is this possible at all right now? I dont want to switch to Verizon as I have a good plan on AT & T
I can just get a micro sim from ATT but I am not sure if I can still use the new Razr or not

As far as working with AT&T.... maybe. My understanding is that the xt910m models will, but the xt912m models will not. Also pretty sure Verizon & AT&T LTE radios operate on different frequencies as well so you probably would only have 3g on the deathstar network. I could be wrong though. Good luck.
Motorola/Verizon installed a software lock so the Verizon version, although it has the correct hardware, is software locked to prevent the phone being used with an AT&T SIM card. Some people have been working on getting around that lock, but so far they have not been successful.
thanks...bummer
looks like I'll be selling it
I've had my Atrix for a year, now someone wants to buy it from me. Considering Motorola has given us the middle finger more than once, this will be my last Moto phone, and I'll sell my phone.
The thing is, I'm on a certain network (TELCEL) and my friend wants to use it with MoviStar.
I bought this phone brand new from my boss. I believe he got it as a gift from a Motorola rep (he got the entire deal - both docks and the phone). I do not know whether the phone is locked or not. I don't know how to find if it is or not.
I've unlocked the bootloader and am currently running CM10. I'll downgrade to stock 2.3 before I give the phone to my friend.
How can I check if the phone is unlocked and whether he can use it on another network? I have no clue and don't know anyone who has a MoviStar SIM. I would like to give him the phone knowing that it'll work..
Thanks!
Don't know if this helps, but-
If I search for other networks, I can see MoviStart without an issue.
I tried typing #073887* on the dial screen and nothing happens.
Perhaps it's already unlocked?
Put any other sim in it and see if it works. If its unlocked it will.
Unlocking bootloader etc doesn't remove network lock btw.

Thanks... I can't easily find anyone with a MoviStar chip. As a matter of fact, my friend is the only one I know that uses that network! I'll have to go to MoviStar and ask for a SIM to try, I guess.
It doesn't need to be that specific one, just any other SIM card will do.
Hey,
I don't know if this is too device specific, but I have a Samsung Galaxy S8+ (SM-G955U). It was originally AT&T, though I got it unlocked the day I purchased it. I use it with T-Mobile now, and I never was able to update my phone since I switched. Turns out, it was because you can only do so using AT&T activated SIM cards. Literally had to get a prepaid to update it.
My questions is: Since I have an unlocked phone and use it with T-Mobile, is it possible for me to flash T-Mobile's firmware updates to my phone without consequence instead of having to get an AT&T SIM card every time to get their firmware?
I did some research, but was not able to come up with a definitive answer. It would really save me a lot of trouble if such is possible.
If not, any other way I can update without having to get through AT&T's prepaid SIMs?
Really would appreciate any help given. This has been driving me insane.
Thanks!
Hi,
I would like to buy a V60 and use it in Europe.
But reading about it makes me wonder if it is such a good idea to buy this phone.
Could you help me out, I'm a bit of a newbie to Roms, rooting and fixing phones so they work.
I was reading something general about importing a unlocked carrier phone and it stated that I can buy an unlocked T-mobile or other carrier and use an european sim. There it stated that it will come a time when you need the us carrier sim card to perform things and I will be unable to do those things without the correct sim card. I do not remember what those things where. Perhaps it was If I need to update it. Is it true that you have to have the carriers sim card even if it is unlocked?
Is there any other problems one might face. e.g.
This was the latest LG phone so perhaps they will not care about customer service so much:
perhaps LG will stop posting security updates:
From what I understand there are two parts of the software of a phone: the firmware and android. The firmware is LG specific and I will not be able to get updates on that. But for android which is on top of the firmware there should be a way to get updates even if LG stops posting them, or?
If not, can I switch to an other rom to have them?
Can I update to a later android version even if LG does not post one for the phone?
Can I root the phone and be rid of all the us carrier stuff, get a phone that is not associated with any carrier?
yes you can root the phone and flash EA firmware. instructions available here and works perfect for ATT unlocked phones. also you can buy a Verizon version, use it 60 days in the Verizon network, after it will work anywhere and get updates. the problem is that no new LG V60 devices left in the stores.
