I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note I717R from Rogers and unlocked it to work with my existing service provider, MTS. I detailed everything in a blog post in case any one is thinking about doing the same (or something similar):
Setting up a Samsung.Galaxy Note for MTS
Hopefully someone finds this useful.
I had to pay $25 for this service, not $8. Did they drop the price?
Nice write up.. and always enjoying reading Canadian stuff

Hi guys,
I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note (i717) from Ebay.
It's locked on Rogers (Canadian provider) and I'd like to unlocked this device, because a live in Brazil.
How Can I do It? I need root my device and then you an App like Galaxy Unlocked?
Can you help me?
regards
Sorry Amigo, there is no free unlock for non at&t models. You can pay $19 from www.cellphoneunlockers.com.
Those free unlock apps don't work on the note.

I was a useful post. Just as a head's up, I tried to get a code for the same model from 'unlockphonenetwork' and paid $34.95. They promise a code in 0-5 hrs. After waiting half a day, and not getting any response from their email support address, I filed a dispute with Paypal. Now I just have to wait. Now I wish I had used the same code provider that you did.

Thanks very much for that, I'll have to give that a try.
So in the interest of fairness as a follow up the code did eventually arrive after 12 hours. Now I normally would not be so anal (bad pun in light of the below) about these things, but the reason I bought one in a hurry and not spent more time in XDA Developers looking for a solution was because my daughter had been admitted to hospital in the Philippines (not serious, just dehydration from ongoing traveller's gut) and my son had just arrived with his Note that I had rooted before he left but not unlocked. As I wanted to communicate with them ASAP I thought the $35.00 would be a justified expense because they claimed they would provide it on 0-5hrs (within a minute of me paying for it the window on the site proclaimed that I (first name and last initial) had just completed unlocking a Samsung i717). At one point someone (Jason So) did reply to my email to support and just said 'were working on it'. In spite of me pointing out why I was in a hurry when they finally sent it, no apology or any explanation, so I'm not too impressed. I'll carry on with my Paypal dispute just to see what happens now and use your method instead, thanks again for the post.
Update: In the interest of fairness again, the seller did offer me a partial refund for being late ($14.95), which I accepted as the phone was already half a planet away with a 14yr old who would be challenged to flash it where he is. Interesting how these sellers never provide a name (I got the Jason from the embedded header) or engage the buyer in any sort of conciliatory dialogue, if they did they'd probably gain more respect. However I didn't want to give the seller an unfair rap, thus the update.

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.

No, I drew something in the Note Studio, although mine was clearly NOT the best, I somehow won! A lot of people did a lot better.
Take the device, sell it, get the note coming to tmo soon.

hi
I wasn't aware of all the recent US laws re: unlocking and exporting, so have been stuck with a brand new AT+T Lumia 920 from ebay that I can't seem to get unlocked, from any number of 3rd party unlockers.
I've also been through the AT+T International Helpdesk a few times now, and despite being exceedingly helpful, the reps there are now unable to unlock the device or even raise an unlock support request unless they have an existing or previous AT+T number to go on. As I live in the Caribbean, I don't have any numbers I can use, and have never been a customer.
So, if you're an AT+T current customer, have been on contract over 6 months, and don't mind using one of your 5 per year unlocks, I will pay you $25 via paypal (average cost of a 3rd party unlock) if you can get my phone unlocked for me
offer is only to established forum members (6 months and 10 posts +).
Please message me, and I'll supply IMEI details needed and what you need to do with AT+T to unlock it.
Many thanks for any help!

I am in the same boat my friend i am also try to do the same, but still have not found any one generous enough to help me out.
hi all,
just to confirm that this will not effect your AT+T account in any way.
i have a documented call log from AT+T reps saying that they simply need a AT+T number to assign the unlock request to!
If you like, simply supply me your cell number, and i will speak to the reps - as far as they are concerned, you bought and sold the Lumia on via ebay without ever using the phone on AT+T (basically the truth anyway), but I can then base the unlock request on this valid situation and existing customer cell number.
thanks

Hi,
thanks for the suggestion but i already tried this - unfortunately he wasn't an AT+T customer himself - he had bought the phone to use on one of their plans, then decided to switch to an iPhone with T-mobile at last minut so just flipped the phone without activating on AT+T, and he didn't have details for the guy he bought it from on craigslist.
Hopefully should be sorted now anyway - I found 2 friends over the weekend that still have active AT+T numbers, so going to give it a go with them this morning!

Hello XDA,
I have been here a lot of times, but didn't remember my essential info to log on as before.
I was in USA recently and someone stole my backpack. I went to t mobile, to buy a phone. And I specified, I need it to be unlocked because in a month I am flying back home. I paid the device normal price 350 dollars for an S3 and got it or 300 dollars don't remember. I am now home and the device doesn't work. And I want to unlock it and remove the T mobile firmware.
is it possible?

Not sure where the lie is...? They don't sell the phones unlocked, even when purchased out right. If you were told that, most likely the CSR just didn't know what they were talking(common) about rather than actively lying to you. You should be able to contact their customer service to obtain an unlock code though if you have proof of purchase. Other than that, if it isn't updated (not likely) past 4.1.2 you can unlock it yourself via hidden menu. If you are on 4.3, this method no longer works that I have seen and you'll need to purchase an unlock code from a reputable source if T-Mobile refuses to help or you are unable to provide them with the necessary details for them to give you the code.

I asked her like 4 times. Will it work in my country? The answer was yes, and the last time was, are you going to ask me again sir?
Can someone direct me to the secret menu? I am in my country now. Will it unlock?
I am on odin and I cant flash back the 4.1.1. why is that. If I flash it back I will be able to use the secret code
So, you got it from the US, and not you are home (can I as where?) and it doesn't accept your sim card?
Do you have an authentic receipt with the full price, and/or proof of purchase?
if so you can contact an authorized Samsung dealer in your area and describe the issue, and they will give you the unlock codes.
Something similar happened to me: I bought a brand new Galaxy S3 from Europe and sent it as a gift to the Middle east, where it didn't work, but with the receipt and some patience (a week/10 days), Samsung sent us the unlock codes.

No, once you update to latest version (4.3) with its modem, you can't use old unlock codes (unless you backed up your EFS), but I guess your only hope is Samsung, try them first.
Hi guys, I just attended the Samsung Developer Conference at San Francisco and gave us a Gears S as a gift. The device seems to be sim locked for ATT. I contacted Samsung and ATT and they know nothing about that and could offer me any solution. Hoping there's some other attendees hanging at xda, Does anybody was able to solve this problem?
Thanks

I did not attend that confrence lucky you. Yes it is sim locked you can unlock it if you choose to under certain conditions. Did they mention any new gear apps to come?
What are those conditions? They didn't announced any official app but there was an app contest with some interesting apps though.

If you are a AT&T customer/former customer(i e have.had a number) your good you can request unlock code. If your new you have to be with them for x amount of days (40 or so). Or find someone willing to add it to their account so you can unlock assuming you've paid outright. If you were never a customer YMMV but most likely no unless they feel like it then it will be emailed to you

Typically, the conference organizer will give you instructions about how to obtain a unlock code from them directly. Calling AT&T directly won't help.

That's where mine came from - I was there. Wow, the demo gods did not smile on Samsung
Anyway, no - no info was given, and I honestly doubt any thought was given to how to unlock these "dev" phones for non-AT&T customers. I happen to be on AT&T should I want to use a sim in mine.
If you register on the AT&T forums http://forums.att.com/ then you can send a PM to ATTCustomerCare (http://forums.att.com/t5/notes/privatenotespage/tab/compose/note-to-user-id/192773) and tell them the situation. That team has been the go-to team for "edge case" unlocks. Alternately you can keep trying to call the support number until you reach a supervisor who can ok the unlock, but essentially you're reaching those same people via the forum without the hassle of endlessly calling.
You can get it unlocked using cell unlocker. It took them a few days but they finally sent me an unlock code that worked first try.
I must have been the first one they did because they kept sending me emails asking I had tried it yet. Because I was travelling I had to wait a couple if days.

My fiancé and I are in the same situation. We also got the watches at the Samsung Dev Con, but we're T-Mobile customers. (Also, did you notice that the Note 4s they raffled off were for Verizon?) We already tried calling AT&T, to no avail, and now I've posted on their forums asking for help and I'm sending the customer care people a PM, as recommended in this thread.
Worst case scenario, we get our friend (an AT&T customer) to get the unlock codes. But if it comes to that, we can probably get yours unlocked with ours, if you want. We're happy to help.
I'll post an update if the customer care PM works.
Last time I was at an Microsoft event and with the AT&T phone they gave me, there is a note inside told me to email someone with IMEI for unlock. I did and they quickly email back with unlock code. You should contact your meeting organizer, not AT&T or Samsung support as they have no clue.

If you are not an AT&T customer and are on T-Mobile or Sprint, I would recommend selling the AT&T version and getting one from your Carrier that way the Radio Bands will work for you.
If you are out of country, I would recommend selling the AT&T USA Version as some others have posted where they can't get apps if the Country doesn't match their Phone, or something like that.
That being said, if you are looking at selling the AT&T one cheap, send me a PM. I bought one, had it about 6 hours before the wife confiscated it for her selfish purposes.

In theory it should work just as a unlocked phone would on whatever network so any problems you have with unlock on AT&T will be the same like how they handle messages

I am from Norway and got mine at the Samsung Developer Conference. I unlocked mine using cellunlocker.net. I received the network lock code less than an hour after submitting the order and it worked like a charm.
HOWEVER: For other non-US-citizens, you need to check whether the AT&T-device has support for your local GSM-bands. Here in Norway we have GSM 900/1800 and the AT&T device is only GSM 850/1900 from what I can find on the net. Which matches my end result of not being able to connect to my network even after unlocking.

That's not right. If you use AT&T messenger on the phone (as AT&T wants you to do), you will not be able to reply from the watch. So, you will have to switch back to the Samsung stock Messages app.
MMS might be a problem but regular text SMS won't be a problem. For MMS, you may need to add AT&T MMS APN.
I feel dumb. I wasn't aware that I I either 1) needed to have my device for 50 days or 2) have the device fully paid in order to do a UICC Unlock on my phone. I remember when I got the S7 edge, new on Flex Lease, this wasn't the case. I guess the policy changed.
At any rate, I'm going abroad next week and can't get my phone unlocked to use it there. Does anyone have any experience with the paid unlock services out there? Are they legit? Do they work? Thanks in advance.

They are paid files, most 3rd party unlockers use combination file and an unlock tool like GcPro to complete the job

Well, if you paid of the phone in full Sprint would probably unlock it for you.

Sprint still requires the 50 day waiting period, which is total BS. I paid for my phone, full price from Samsung, and called and spoke to 3 different people....none would process my unlock request. Been a customer since 2002, wasn't trying to leave Sprint...just wanted it unlocked...no luck.
Congress wants to talk about problems in the cell phone industry...this is a HUGE one
Didn't realize there was that waiting period. That does kinda suck, especially if you didn't even buy the phone from Sprint.

maybe it's 10usd for the unlock. but you need to buy the yearly license too, which is around 80 USD to even be able to use the tool. Then you use the credits per unlock/ read code, etc.
