Anyway to unlock the Motorola atrix 4g
Im getting one sent to me (im in canada), but not sure if unlocking will be easy (via codes, etc..)
Ill donate 10$ to anyone who figures a solution
( i know galaxy S, and HTC desire HD for example had solutions where you can unlock them by simple hacks, but if someone knows a site that provides the codes, the old fashioned send IMIE number, let me now)

Call the carrier an tell them your going on a nice trip to Mogadishu.
SS2006... how are you getting it sent to you? I'm in Toronto and been considering a day trip to Buffalo (ug) to pick one up.
Online there's Motorola IMEI unlock providers... and apparently programs that will calc the unlock code, though I don't know if they will work for the Atrix
i'm trying to keep one thread updated about this.
please see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960771 and if you are willing use that thread for updates

That thread only discusses how to get an unlock code from a third party/website charging and outrageous amount of money for something that should be free.
Personally I'd like to see the Dev's take on the unlocking rather than depending on a third party that I'd have to pay and get the rooting/unlocking procedure from them.

I called ATT and told them I travel a lot and need the phone unlocked. They told me I can get an Unlock code from them on August 22. The representative said he would give me right away, but when he typed my IMEI on the system that gives the unlock codes, a message showed that I could only get it by August 22.
At least thats something.
just called at&t to unlock for traveling over seas they said not until december.
That is true the only way you might be able to get one if you bought the device with out a discount meaning you paid full price.
By law they are forced to provide an unlock code for the phone

Hello everyone, so its finally the launch day for the SGS2! Rejoice!
I picked mine up this morning from Tbooth for 599.99 no contract. I plan on using the phone on telus though, so I need a sim-unlock.
I know there is a root sim unlock app, but does this work on the Bell version of the phone? What about paid unlock codes? Will http://cgi.ebay.ca/UNLOCK-CODE-UK-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S2-GALAXY-PRO-B7510-/260812982312?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3cb9aa4828#ht_4291wt_1139 work for bell???
I guess I should just try the unlock app... a little hesitant. I realize there might already be an answer for this, but I am just looking for some help. Thank you.
Diito. I bought my Bell SGS2 outright this morning as well. Damn sweet phone. I'm looking to unlock and run on Telus as well.
What I thought they don't allow you to buy it off contract anymore...weird, I am from Toronto.
Anyways for unlocking I would recommend cellunlocker.net (I have used it a few times and it worked, fast and good pricing).

I just bought mine this morning non-contract and intend to use it on Telus as well. They just make you go month to month and pay for 1 month of service and you can cancel in 30 days essentially with no penalties.
I've been looking for a Bell root flash as well...bell has a ton of crap pre-installed that I definately don't dig.
Before all this unlock code ish
try the nv_data.bin thing!

Also you need to pay the activiation cost as well right?
That is not really worth it if you lived in Toronto/GTA, Ontario. I got one at Pacific Mall for 650, unbranded and unlocked UK version.

I live in Calgary xD.
Phone was $625 after tax plus the $50 for the rate plan and $35 activation plus tax so not a huge difference. I'm also wondering if anyone knows the number of digits the unlock code for the GS2 should be.....I received a code from cellunlocker.net and due to poor instructions and myself being uncontrollably impatient to use the phone on telus put in only part of the code..or so i beleive.
They sent the code in this format NETWORK:=48684XXX;PROVIDER:=69599XXX;SUBNET:=85256XXX;DEFREEZE:=05193XXX.
I've used 2 attempts and REALLY want to know its right before i enter it again. I feel like a serious noob after this lol

Umm interesting, I only get one code from the many time I used.
Anyways if you have tried the network and provider one, then the codes are unlikely to be working.
What I will do is, either email them or call them and ask which one to use. If they say use the one that you already tried and didn't work, you should make a video of the process of you inputing the codes and if it didn't work and, just email them that video to get your money back.
But you gota be extra careful now, you only have one attempt before it freezes lol.
Now I wouldn't risk it if they told you the one to use and you already tried it which failed.
You should try to use the things that SS2006 suggested.
cellunlocker.net probably won't refund you the money if you do not have a video, but I can send you the cost since I recommended and it failed. It should be something like $8 right? lol
Good luck.
Edit: okay guys I found this thread and it confirmed to be working:
http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...ree-unlocking-solution-reportedly-not-working
Now you should start reading and learn stuff before you actually start flashing and doing things.
But you should note it will void your warranty if you start flashing and rooting, so you might want to think about that as well.
There is unlock available. under other thread. I unlocked usin theunlock.ca code. i didnt know about root/unlock when i paid for it. But it works.

My only concern with rooting and unlocking it via the methods available here on XDA is that it seems to be a hit or miss with what kind of glitches you may end up with.
I'm hoping theunlock.ca will preserve all the original device settings, firmware, etc. and just allows me to use it on my Rogers account.
Rooting with XX OXA kernel worked.
Then I used this to use it on Telus.
Free of bleepin' charge.

BELL, rooted and unlock with ZS firmware.. up and running with TELUS..
I just subscribed to this web site to thank you A LOT! It works perfectly!!
theunlock.ca worked for me!
Did it with Helroz galaxy s unlock and it worked for me!!
I simply root the bell galaxy s2 by following:
w**.inspiredgeek.com/2011/04/29/breaking-samsung-galaxy-sii-s2-is-now-rooted-using-xwkdd-insecure-kernel-with-superoneclick
Then I have install the galaxy s unlock + busy tool
gone trough the 1-2-3 steps form the galaxy s unlcok tool
Then boot the phone with my Telus sim card, wait a few minutes to get hooked to the network and Voila!!
Note: once you flash the kernel with odin, you'll get a yellow triangle at the boot screen, I have simple flash back with the original kernel with odin after root grants to get rid of it, the original I use is I9100XWKDD_StockKernel.tar, too big to get attached
I have a bell S2 when i put a rogers sim i dont get a prompt to enter to the network control key. Im running 2.3.5
That means its already unlocked
my mom is here, in cambodia, visiting from the states. I'm trying to unlock her phone, so she can use the SIM here. Her phone is rooted with the stock ROM, would installing a custom ROM unlock her phone? or if there is another way to unlock her phone, without the unlock code from the AT&T, let me know. Thanks.
yeah. pay an online site for the code. does she really need to make long distance calls from her note? why not just grab a throw away local prepaid phone.
i dont think there are any free options at the moment. well there is Dell Fongo wifi calling app.
as stated, you must visit a site and pay for an unlock code. there is no custom rom that will sim unlock it. As of right now there are no free unlock options either.
Don't some ICS roms support voip? Would that be an option, and if she needs to call, just wifi tether off your phone or go somewhere with a router?
Also paying for minutes with Skype and going off your wifi
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
if you have GrooveIP, and a wi fi connection, she can call all she wants for free..
thanks for the reply. i understand your concerns but its more convenient to make local calls. she has friends and family here that she needs to call or they call her. there isn't wifi everywhere she goes. i mean she paid for her Note, she shouldn't have to spend another 10-15 bucks on a cheapo. she has every right to use her phone anywhere, even if it's not on an AT&T network. anyways, we'll try to contact AT&T.

we understand your frustration but by the time AT&T gets back to you she'll be on a plane back already. having a killer phone in hand and not being able to use it is infuriating. besides $15 is cheaper than the $30 most online unlock places charge.
yea. shes here for another week. when i called AT&T before, for my unlock code. it was quick, i just gave them IMEI number and they gave me the 16 digit unlock code. no more than 5 minutes.

Hi guys! I recently won Samsung's Galaxy Note Studio contest and I will be getting an At&t Galaxy Note for free The only problem is I'm on T-Mobile and I would like to know if there are any FREE unlock methods? I mean I'll pay $24.99 on Cell Unlock, but I'd rather not. Has anyone unlocked by calling At&t directly? Also, are there any DIY methods?
I heard there was a method you can unlock and use T-Mobile's 4g speeds? Is it reliable? Should I just do that? So many questions. Anyways, since I don't have At&t, they offered me a $299 check. What do you guys think? Should I take the phone, root it, unlock it, ETC, or take the check?!
Thanks for your help!

Take the phone, whether or not you use it, you can sell a brand new note for more than 300. As for unlocks, if you do a quick search, there's a couple threads and I think the cheapest I saw was $8. There's a T-mobile modem that seems to do decently, but I have no experience with it as I'm on at&t so I'd search for that too.
Many answers are found in previous posts, I'm sure you can find them. Also If you don't want the note, I'll give you 300 for it I can always use a spare.
Haha, thanks! But I will hold on to it for a while... lol
If I can't get it to work for T-Mobile Ebay or Craigslist it is!
You're getting a $550+ device for free. Pay the $25 to unlock it. You will not be sorry. If you then don't like it you can sell the unlocked device for more than $550.
Congrats on winning the contest.
You can flash a Tmo modem after unlocking. Currently you have to pay to get it unlocked. I called AT&T for the unlock and was told several different times that since it is exclusive to AT&T you have to wait 6 months for the free unlock.

I have the att HTC one that I bought off contract at best buy around july. I've been considering unlocking the phone to test out T-Mobile. I've been requesting online from att to have the device unlock but it keeps telling me that the device currently can't be unlocked. What gives?

How long have you had service? You need to have ATT service for a minimum 6 months I believe.
I have been with att since 2009. I am still under contract til Oct 2014 but that shouldn't have anything to do with it since the phone was paid in full. I thought it was six months for their gophones? At least that's what I understood from their website.

i have used them a few times. the unlock cost me $3.20 and about 2 hours. a few times they took longer. but it's a comin'
and then you don't have to beg for a solution, when you already paid so much for the phone. :silly:
Okay well here's a quick one to bust some bubbles. I bought my HTC One via Wal-Mart on promotion in April. In June I figured to hell with At&t. With that being said I rooted the phone and got S off. Then found a mod on the Development fourm for the One that let me unlock the international menu. I bought a Net10 SIM Card at Best Buy. Cut the SIM to fit and BOOM!!!!!!!! No need for a UNlock code or any of that. Net10 gave me the apn info and from there I've been able bypass all the usual hassle.

OK I was finally able to unlock the phone. I called Att and told them that I had purchased the phone off contract at best buy and that when I would request the unlock code via their website it wouldn't accept my request. She then tells me that if I had bought it off contract the phone should have been unlocked, which was a lie. So then she starts questioning me asking where I bought it, how much I paid etc. I then told her look I have the receipt if you don't believe me. She says well we are going to need you to fax us the receipt. While she is setting up the claim she asked why I wanted to unlock it. I told her because At&t coverage at my house sucks and I wanted to test out t-mobile since my brother gets excellent coverage on his htc one. So I faxed the receipt and next morning had the unlock code. I tried unlocking the phone only to realize that since I had converted my phone to gpe I had to reconvert back using the leaked ruu and then unlock the phone. I am happy to report that finally I was able to unlock the phone. And then I converted back to gpe. Far way better speeds and coverage on T-Mobile prepaid than on att. Well at least at my home. I'm looking testing the coverage on T-Mobile at work and school before I make my decision on fully changing carriers.

Hi ,
I flashed a hell fire rom on my att htc one. Can i just enter the unlock code or do I need to first restore my phone to what it was before (as it came from AT&T and then enter unlock code ).
OP,
did you ever get the phone unlocked?
I'm in a similar situation as you but have a Moto X and they flat out refused to unlock my phone.
Tried some 3rd party unlockers and the code they gave me did not work.

Normally their policy is after 3 months from the moment you got the phone you can request the unlock code. and also the unlocking really comes out of who you talk to... Some are very easy going other not.

Yea, i saw that its 60 days. is it possible to activate my phone overseas for 60 days? It really does seem like the unlocking is very random and down to whoever you get on the customer support line. I've had no luck and have a 500 dollar paper weight !
me and my brother both bought our AT&T HTC one's in contract.
we both used a third party online unlocker to unlock both our phones.
Costs us each 10$ and within minutes our phones were unlocked.
it's stupid of them to antagonize their clients like that.
just drives people aways.
