Hi guys,
i used a sim unlock code to unlock the ATT locked Atrix 4g, for use with a european sim card (mobitel, slovenia). it unlocked fine and i could call, but the wifi stopped working it just didnt scan/find or even connect to remembered wifis (home router), which worked perfectly before the unlock. so than i thought it might help to factory reset it, and now the problem persists and i cant even finish the wizard, cuz it wouldnt connect to the cellular (which we have 2g and 3g here) and the wifi has the same problems (so initially it finds all wlans, than after like a few secs it looses them all, i can turn off the wifi and turn it on again and the same thing happens). so i am wodering if anyone has any idea how i could rescue the phone ...
thanks in advance
ok guys i did a hard reset and put in a nonworking sim (doesnt connect to network) and i got the wifi back to working and managed to activate motoblur again. so after that ive put my working sim card in again (3g+ hsdpa+ able), and the wifi stops to work again/behaves the same as i described before. terrible ... anyone has an idea how to fix that ?
ok, more problems, now after ive put the working sim inside and the wifi stopped working, i tried with the nonworking sim (that wifi worked great before with), and the wifi isnt working with the sim it was working before either and even if i try without any sim it doesnt work... ill try with a third sim now and if it wont work ill hard reset it again
Same problem
I have the same exact issue. Anyone know what to do? I can't imagine that this is "bricked" because everything else works fine... thoughts?
where did you guys get the unlock code from?
Actually, I have a similar problem. After entering unlock code the phone accepts my SIM card, but I cannot activate 3G connection. GSM is working, try to call my other phone. APN settings are correct.
In the "hidden" settings menu (*#*#4636#*#*) I cannot chose between radio bands, but only the USA radio band.
Any ideas? Will I need to root it or even put a custom ROM (if it exists)?
So you guys used an unlock code from someone other than the carrier and are now having issues?
Wish I could help on this one. If you used an unlock code from someone other than the carrier, I would contact motorola support.
If you used a piece of software, I would wager that the software broke something and you might as well warranty return it for another.

Don't be offended, but I don't think this is the case. AT&T locked their phone to their network with standard network code (as seen in many other phones for years) so that "alien" SIM card would not work. But, additionally, since the AT&T has some value added services on their data plan (like wifi tethering) they made some accommodations (read: locked parts of the android configuration).
I am not a developer, this is just my guess, but it seams sane and probable.

No offense taken. This is why I asked about a program. Using an unauthorized code to unlock it may over write a.setting or file. Its also possible that someone broke something using adb.
Best solution, warranty it and try again

can you guys tell us what website you use to get your unlock codes from so we can avoid them? thanks
man.. this forum is dead.
even the OP stopped coming here to check his post :/
Based on your replies, I'm guessing you've never unlocked a phone before...
Unlocking a phone to be used for a different carrier affects nothing else but the ability to only use the SIM Card of the carrier you bought the phone from.
To unlock a carrier-locked Motorola phone, you simply need a "Network Unlock PIN" which is an 8 or 16 digit code that you enter to unlock the phone to any network. There is no software installation ivolved in the process.
A 3G issue will occur when your carrier doesn't support the 3G bands that the Atrix supports. Which would be: 850/1900/2100. If your carrier doesn't use any of these bands for their 3G network, then of course you are going to have 3G issues.
The Wi-Fi problem that the OP is having may be as simple as him having an antenna QA issue. But it could never be the Unlock Code.
Unlocking your phone and using another carrier other than AT&T has nothing to do with Wi-Fi issues...

I got my unlock code from cellunlock.net. It unlocked my phone just fine. Don't use that as a reason to avoid cellunlock.net. Unlocking is unlocking.
I have swapped back and forth between my prepaid sim and My AT&T SIM about 5 times so far.
WiFi disconnects almost immediately when I try to connect with my prepaid sim inserted, but I can make calls. (Atrix also displays H+, which can't be right)
With my AT&T sim everything works fine, solid as a rock.
I may do a factory reset to test things, but I have a feeling it has something to do with drivers or the network stack on the atrix, or perhaps because my prepaid sim has no data plan. It certainly isn't a hardware problem with the antenna. I am afraid to do a factory reset on the atrix while I am out of the country, considering that it requires network access to unlock itself.
To the original poster:
When you put a non-connected SIM into the phone, if you do a power reset again, the wifi comes back up solid again.
Also, is there some way we can request a merge of these two threads?

I was merely suggesting that it could be a multitude of things, but never the unlocking code or the process of unlocking itself.
Also, it can't be your SIM because your SIM has nothing to do with Wi-Fi. If we were talking about GSM and 3G then SIM cards come into play. Other than that, no way.
Have you tried using the phone without a SIM? Do you get the same problems?

I agree that it has nothing to do with the SIM or unlocking.
I just tested. I get the same problem with no SIM inserted. Screw it.. doing a factory reset and seeing what happens.
Edit:
Still does the same thing. But now I have to re-activate app sideloading.
Also, you can reactivate over wifi, which is nice.
Hi I have just purchased a mini pro from ebay, the phone was sold as unlocked. But when I put my orange sim in it asks for a network unlock code.
I'm not to bothered about having to pay to unlock it. Just can't find which network it's locked to. There is no branding and the splash screen is stock SE. Also I have checked the imei with orange and it's not blocked.
Is there anyway to figure out which network it's locked to?
I know there is a command to get into the service menu (don't know what it is) will this tell me what I need to know?
Sorry about the essay
Any help appreciated.

When the unlockecode massge comes just click cancle and watch what happens.
Yeah I have done that and been on the phone, but there is nothing anywhere I can find saying what network it is locked to.
I have tried to select the orange network and it will not connect as it needs unlocking.
So I need to find out which network it's locked to. Guess I will have to randomly test sim cards lol

Hi all
I am thinking of getting rid of my Galaxy SIi to get one of these. One of the ones I have seen to buy is locked to T mobile so I was wondering if it is possible to unlock these phones as I am on vodagone. If so is it a fairly easy procedure?
Thanks
Impossible at the moment. XPS is a mighty fine device so try swapping w/ some1 or something similar
Impossible? I'm chatting with my phone operator (Telenor) about operatorunlock-code. And as far as I know, the operator-code will make the phone accessible for other operators.
But the issue I got right now is there is no place to enter this long operator-code
I mean: impossible to unlock by yourself if operator doesn't allow unlocking or bills it insanely, and you don't have the money/don't want to pay such amount.

Put in a different operator's sim card and restart the phone.
It'll automatically ask you for the code

I didn't happen to have a microsim from another carrier so I decided to cut one up. For my first attempt I did a pretty damn good job since my phone recgonzied it!
Got prompted to enter an Unlock code.
http://www.cellunlocker.net/blog/2012/03/how-to-unlock-sony-ericsson-xperia-s/
try this !!
My problem is that when I use a SIM from another carrier and boot my phone up, I do NOT get this: “SIM network unlock PIN” message. My phone only says "SIM card is locked" and want me to type in PIN.

Seems your SIM card is locked. I remember old phones gave you an option to add a pin code onto the sim card itself. There was a warning that if you forget it you're screwed. Try getting a new SIM from the carrier
is unlocking the droid razr for tmobile as simple as going to a website paying $5-10 for an unlock code, and putting in a tmobile sim card and entering the code?
please someone reply back, because I love motorola phones and verizon has some amazing motorola phones.
and yes the droid razr is global ready
will anybody please help me?
ive found posts with no definite answers
Hey,
Yes it is.
Unlock codes are unique for each and every phone. You'll first need to order it but it's found by using the IMEI of the handset you have. To find this type in *#06#
Once you've done that and been sent the code (usually 5 - 20 minutes) you'll then need to insert a non-accepted SIM card into the phone. Upon starting up, the phone will then read "Enter Special Code", "Enter Subsidy Code" or similar. On this screen, you type in the unlock code and the phone should then accept it and remove the network lock.
I hope that helps.

Right now, with the fan on because it's been really hot lately.
We're UK based so actually I don't know about Verizon being the only network that the handset works with. I also researched the instructions before posting them, which can be found on mobifreedom.net.
I have been using ATT service on this i777, now going to China and will be using their carrier for a long time. I learnt I have to go to either China Mobile or China Unicom if I'm to stick with this device. However both carrier's SIMs resulted in "SIM card not provisioned" notice and it's not working.
I am wondering if calling ATT helps, or I need a SIM unlock code, or I have to install a custom ROM to somehow bypass the SIM check? Or even more? I love this phone so I don't want to buy a new one here in China.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Your phone needs to be sim unlocked. If it is not unlocked already, then by far the easiest route is to call AT&T to get the unlock code.
oh I'm sorry, I think I already unlocked it (spent a few bucks and got the code on a website)
I put in China Mobile's SIM and entered the code in the prompt box. Do I still need an unlock code from ATT ?

Thanks for the reply. I replied you above but didn't quote.
If the phone is already sim unlocked, then you don't need to unlock it again.
I've never gone through the unlock process, or traveled over seas, so I'm not the best person to answer your questions. I think "not provisioned' indicates that the sim is not activated, or that the phone is not set up for the network, or something like that. You may need to input the correct apn for the network. Maybe you could go to the carrier's store and find someone who could help you?
Maybe someone with experience will jump in and help.
