Hello everyone.
I bought recenlty a used Atrix, in Russia. It was locked, so I tried to find a SIM-unlock. I was thinking that it's a AT&T Atrix, but after asking Motorola Global support, they said me that it was manufactured for Orange France.
I bought the unlock code from two different sources at eBay, they both gave me same codes, but they are not working!
For the moment, I'm trying to contact Orange France for the support, but I'm not sure that they could give that code..
Or maybe it's because my Atrix is running on CM9 that the code isn't accepted?

No its not because of cm9. And sometimes orange doesn't unlock off contract phones. The code is the same as its based on your imei number. If the code doesn't work you should contact the support from where you bought the code.
Sent from my MB860 running Jokersax's CM9
I bought the phone as used, from a particular seller. He bought the code for me, but it didn't worked.
Is there any chance to get the code from Orange support?
Could the code work if I downgrade to 2.3 firmware?

You could try asking orange support. If not try some site where you have to buy the code…i used unlocking.com to unlock moto cliq. They gave me the code the same day and it didn't work the first time. I contacted support and they helped me unlock it. So make sure the site you buy it from has good support.
Carrier unlock is different and won't change no matter what rom your on.
Did you try this possible solution?

Thanks for the link. Gonna try it
Actually, I spended 5$ more and bought another code. I got the same code, tried to enter it under 5 various SIM-cards - 1 of Beeline, without money on it, 1 of Beeline with unlimited credit, 2 various MTS and even a AT&T sim-card, I had the same problem
Could anyone tell me what radio I should use under CM9?
Or maybe giving a link to official Orange France firmware?
Tried already three radios, with noany it unlocks. Any suggestions on which can it be sucessful?
you can try the bell Canada Radio.
My phone will not SIM unlock using any radio file but when I flashed the Bell Canada Radios it just works. Doesn't even prompt for Sim Unlock.
I just wish I could get my AT&T radio's to flash since I am here in the USA.

Did you try entering the unlock code while running the Bell Canada radio?
I believe there is a short code that will bring up the unlock screen.

You need to but an unlock code. Put a different network sim in the phone, it will ask for the code, put it in, done!

You need to BUY an unlock code sorry. ... and No,... No free methods that I know of.
There are lots of websites around, I have never used one though.
I use a £3 turbo sim, works brilliantly, lets me use my O2-UK SIM in my Orange network locked handset with no problems.

No problems.
1st thing I would do is get AmonRa's custom recovery installed. Then you will be able to change ROMs when ever you want.
Follow BTDAG's guide in my signature, read the whole thing through including the FAQ at the bottom,... then start playing!!!!

Yeah its locked to Orange. A turbosim is something that you stick to your own simcard, it then tricks the phone into thinking its using the network it was intended for. I got mine from good 'ol ebay.
Search for turbo sim or rebel sim
To Unlock it from Network Lock,you can use the Unlock code.............To get the Unlock code you can reach the site Onlinegsmunlock.com and get the code and Unlock it...Then You can use with any GSM Network Sim card....
My phone was locked to t-mobile, and i needed it unlocked...
Went to a local service, i payed 12 euros for unlocking (not with codes) ...
I not sure how those guys unlocked it, but i know they used a jtag and maybe used a hboot that obviously skips the "locking" security Don't know for sure (they didn't disassembled the phone for soldering pins and stuff the screws are still with the "void" sticker)
You can get an unlock code for a reasonable price at this site:
simunlocks . com
HTC uses database with codes, so there is no miss and hit.
Thanks
Hello, I just buyed sony ericsson xperia x10 from rogers(canada)...but i wanna put fido sim in it......so anyone can help me to unlock my cellphone for free.....by using any method.......code or flashing........
Best Regards
SHIN
No unlock hack has been achieved yet, you will need an unlock code which generally costs money.
$6 bucks unlock for the Rogers X10a http://www.mobileincanada.com/?l=en&u=all&coupon=facebook
Don't fido sims already work in Rogers' phones and visa versa??
Nope. Rogers is Rogers, Fido is Fido. Not the same..
When i ordered it I thought Rogers own fido and may be fido sim gonna work on it.....but after doing some google i found that it should be unlocked......
I bought a Rogers LOCKED X10a recently thinking I can buy the unlock code to unlock the phone and use on AT&T. Unfortunately, all 5 places I tried who claim to unlock Rogers branded phones refunded my payment saying they could not find unlock code for my phone.
I am wondering why my phone still has no unlock code. Does it take a while to get the unlock codes to these vendors for new X10a?
I tried much unlock webstore too... and i found one who give me an Manufacturer's Code (not an operator CODE).... it match for any operator !!!
http://www.deblocage-sony.com/EN/unlocking+SonyEricsson+Xperia-X10.php
But it's very expensive : 39€ ($53.99 CAD)
I use the NCK code :
fill your target SIMcard in your X10
Fill your SIMcard PIN CODE
Fill the NCK CODE
reboot
> Your X10 must be unlocked for ever, for any provider..

+1 to this.. I am in the same boat as you are...
Tried many different places and all result with "Code not found" or "Code not available". I am waiting for the other place to get me the manufacture code and hopefully it will work. Of course.. the unlock service cost more ...

Let me know if that works. I am anyway thinking to sell the black X10a as I prefer the white version. I might as well get it unlocked before selling to get decent price.

I prefer white version myself, too...
Got my phone unlocked, but the cost of unlocking might not be able to justify when you sell it ... If you are going to sell it, either sell it locked or just keep it and use it.. OR buy a white case from deal extreme for $28USD

Sent from my X10a using XDA App
After I got my black X10a from rogers Canada for under $5 the code was sent to me and worked perfectly. Just search on ebay unlock by code rogers xperia x10. The seller with the red icon Rogers unlock code works every time plus if something doesn't work you covered by paypal.
Just make sure you write IMEI number correctly.

+1 from me too. Mobileincanada delivered a working code to me within an hour.
but now im nervous because of these reports. I have to send mine in to rogers and will be getting a replacement, and will have to get the new one unlocked again.
I tried all these unlockers and everyone refunded my money saying they don't have unlock code yet for my Rogers branded X10a Black.
Here are the places I tried:
MykleCell Inc.
MobileInCanada.com
www.primomobile.net
Cellunlocker.net
Swift Unlocks
I don't want to try the expensive places yet as I am receiving an unlocked X10a in white now which I prefer over black. I will wait a week or so to see if any of these $5 unlock places can find a code.
I know this is offtopic but does anyone know if unlocking voids warranty with Rogers?
I know what the reps say but I'm curious if anyone has experience with this.
Hello I have an HTC Hero on Orange UK and it is locked to Orange. I'm trying to get it to get it unlocked so that I can give it to my brother who is on T Mobile UK.
At first I though it would be as simple as loading a new ROM but after rooting it and installing both Villian and a Taiwanese ROM I still couldn't use the T Mobile SIM.
I am aware that the unlocking codes could be brought from Orange but I was wondering if there was a way of unlocking it with out purchasing the unlocking codes.
I have had a look online and on here for various methods but i couldn't find anything of any use. I am aware that this may not be the first time this has been asked so if you have any solutions please link me or explain...
Finally I am pretty tech able am able to do most things.
cheers
Tim
Short answer: Pay for a code
Long answer: Don't pay orange £20 for a code, go look on eBay for one. Mine cost £6.99.
Also, this does not belong in "Android development"
hey man, there is no other way then buying 6-7 pounds.. so, save your time by stop searching free sim unlock
timothy,
Orange and T-Mobile are now the same company (can't remember who bought who) so your brother should be able to use the hero straight away.
If it doesn't work then Orange should now unlock it to T-Mobile without question, considering that they are one and the same.

Please disregard this misinformed statement!
Orange and T-Mobile merged, neither bought either, and their "parent company" Everything Everywhere (lame name) was created.
They do network share, so customers can opt in to use the masts from the other network, but by no means are they the same network now.
The brands are due to remain seperate, and lets be fair
1) why would they believe that it was going to be on T-Mob, surely if they'd unlock for free without question everyone would just say that
2) they're wanting to make £25 quid out of you, and they will do for as long as its legally possible.
Once again, short answer: buy a code on ebay.
Buy a code off ebay then you have to downgrade your rom to an early modaco one cant remember which one i used , enter the code to unlock it then reflash an up to date rom.
Thats the only way to unlock a orange hero just had to do 3 off emm mate.
thanks for all suggestions i feel i will have to buy the codes cheers anyway

one last thing who do you buy them from on ebay (seller name/link) and is it always for htc hero on orange
Is Modaco 2.9 ROM still the only method to unlock Orange UK? Currently running RCMix and rooted. Better still, how one did recently.
Cheers.
Yes think it was that one mate... it was one of the very early modaco custom roms anyway.
don't worry,use this which give different countries and provider,with unlocking code of reliable cost.
you can use that & unlock mobile mobile to T mobile .
Hi there!,
I have a Dell Venue (not Pro) locked to AT&T, is there any way to unlock it to any GSM carrier?, Ive tried to buy an unlock code on ebay but no one seem to find the code on the database..
Any help would be appreciated!,
Thanks
Almost same thing as threadstarter. Could I get rid of SIM lock through flashing another region's ROM?
Here's what I know: I bought the unlocked version and it is compatible with both at&t and t-mobile, all I have to do is sawp sim cards. Try that and see if it works. There's not that much difference between the two, they are both gsm carriers. let me know if this helps.
Unlocked Venue
I wasn't aware that Dell was selling any locked versions of its Venue. I thought there were only 2 versions (AT&T vs T-mobile) but they were both unlocked and can be used for voice on any GSM network. The difference would only be noticed on a data connection (3G) as AT&T is using (850/1900/2100) and T-mobile is running on AWS (900/1700/2100). T-mobile's version would run on EDGE with AT&T SIM and vise versa. Is that the general consensus?
Source (scroll down to bottom)
All Dell Venues are unlocked, you have 3 options: 1. buy without contracts, 2. buy with at&t contract, 3. buy with T-Mobile contract
for me 2 and 3 not an option, I went with the full price $350 with no contracts attached.
+1
I need unlock Dell Venue.
Any news?
I am ready to buy unlock code.
Locked to ATT.
Dr_Wolodya,
Try this. Send an email to [email protected] and in the body of the email write something like:
"Hello,
I am scheduled to travel overseas and would need to use my phone internationally using a different SIM card. I initially contacted ATT but they told me to contact you and provide my IMEI number. Could you please assist me with the unlock code for my Dell Venue phone? The phone IMEI is: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.
Thank you in advance."
See if that helps. Good luck!

Hi, does unlocking my cellphone to make it work with all companies lock it in my country? My cellphone is from Chile, I talk with Claro there. I am in Canada and I want to unlock it to Bell or any other companies. If I had it unlocked for Bell, would it work back home?
Ps. if you know of any unlocking services would you please tell me. Thanks :good:

Yes once it is unlocked it will work with any GSM carrier in the world. I am assuming you are talking about a GSM phone here.
Besides unlocking services, usually your home carrier will give you the unlock code for free and the instructions of where to enter in that code in your phone to unlock it, if you tell them you need to unlock it because you are traveling abroad. Usually they want you to have owned the phone for a while (like 6 months for some carriers) before they give you the code though. No harm in trying to ask the customer care.
I asked my home carrier for a unlocking code, they said they would contact the cellphone manufacturer and get it in about 3 weeks, which is too long. Does anyone know of another faster option? Thanks... If I can do it by myself that would be excellent too
Hey thanks for the great information but you know what, I couldn't find my device there... it's a Moto G!
Do you know of other good sites to unlock? Thanks!

I don't use iPhone, sorry, I use Moto G
alright, well i dont know which carrier my cellphone is locked to since i bought it to a friend who bought it from another friend in Chile and in chile the phones are unlocked to all chilean companies...anyways I contacted motorola and they said they could provide the subsidy code in 72 hours... ill let you know
hey, Motorola actually called me and gave me 2 subsidy codes and none worked....!!!! i actually double checked the IMEI number and they said it was correct, so I guess i'll have to use one of them unlock websites.... does anyone knows if eBay is safe to do that?
many thanks =)
