http://modmymobile.com/forums/459-a...torola-agrees-unlocked-bootloaders-catch.html
So motorola has agreed to unlock the bootloaders on seemingly all their phones? Only catch is its up to the carrier to decide? Lets just hope AT&T won't be bastards on this issue!
Edit: Could a mod please move this to atrix general I put this in the wrong area.
So that's like what... a stalemate?
Ok... so now we get to wait another 6 months before they actually do..... Motorola lies too much to the point where its hard to believe them.

If AT&T said no, in theory couldnt one just flash a Bell/Telsa bootloader on an AT&T Atrix?
Can someone help me on whats the guide to unlock the phone and use it on different carrier, if possible. Does rooting the phone will unlock it or its just one step to it. I am new to this. Thankz
I was mean but I decided to edit and be nice...
The fascinate is a CDMA phone, and can only be flashed to Cricket to my knowledge.
It cannot be flashed to Sprint, AT&T, or T-mobile. Not possible.
Please search the forums before posting something like this.... It gets annoying to frequent isers answering the same questions all the time.
Also, watch this.
Let the flaming begin....
I think i peed a little in my pants laughing at the video!
Well Done sir!
Holy sheet that was funny!
It can be flashed to Boost Mobile also, if you want to go pre-paid.
If you want guides and how-to's use google...it's your friend

hi i bought locked in calgary galaxy note i717 (already have cynogenmod version 10.0.0-RC0-quincyatt & paranoid android version 2.21)
how can i find carrier of my i717
I don't understand your question. Are you asking what carrier the phone is locked to? Model number under battery will tell you that? Are you asking how to unlock phone for any carrier? I believe with Canadian Notes it is better to use a third party unlocking service (like from ebay) to get the phone unlocked if it already isn't. But on the other hand I think some Canadian Notes come unlocked from factory. If the phone is unlocked, maybe you just need to enter the APN for your carrier.
For future reference, questions should be posted in the questions and answers section.
OP yes please explain your question and this has been moved to the Q&A. Thank You
Go to www.samfirmware.com and you can find the stock carrier rom. You can flash it with Odin software and a pc and the charging cable.
When you flash it your phone won't be rooted anymore.
I thought my answer was sufficient but OK.

Where is your answer Sir? I only see the post I quoted. Maybe the Tapatalk app doesn't show all replies? I don't normally jump in on a good answer, and I don't much like it when others do it to me, either.
It got deleted because I advised op to stab himself in the thigh with a fork to make sure he was awake because there are so many copies of this thread lying around within the first few pages. No search utility even required.

Ok, that's a good answer. But I was pushing for a solution. I like the cockroach joke in the other unlocking thread three post from this one.

Well Sir, your jokes or comments are not helping....there is a right way and wrong way to provide assistance and your way is not right.
If it bothers you so much that individuals are asking and looking for assistance, then stay out of the Q&A threads. Now I do not mind showing members assistance but bottom line they have to figure it out them self's. Teach them, not bash them.
Again if I see you bashing instead of providing, Stand By Sir. Thank You
Why do you refuse to enforce the first rule of XDA? SEARCH!
This is allowing the boards to become a haven for laziness and helplessness.

Dear All seniors
Thanks for your valuable suggestions
the phone which i bought was locked to roger. i flash last night with stock rom
now i have 2 question
a how to carrier unlock galaxy note i717r
b which rom should i flash my galaxy note so i work with mobilicity
thanks
You have to get an unlock code. That is something you purchase from ebay.
The Rogers rom is ok, but you have to flash a modem. Any modem compatable with t-mobile will work for you.
Dear just unlocked my phone
only one problem is left which is to used with mobilicity
so can u send me the link to get flash with a modem so my phone can run with mobilicity

Hi everyone,
I'm proud to say that I just bought my first android phone, and it is the ATT LG Optimus G.
I'm used to jail breaking iPhones, but I have a few questions about rooting and unlocking the Optimus G. My Optimus G was recently updated from att, but I don't know what was changed on the device. It asked me to update and I put it off, and then later on it applied the update all by itself. So, now I'm wondering if I can root and unlock my phone using the methods mentioned here.
How can I tell if my phone can still be rooted and unlocked? What firmware number or boot numbers should I be looking for on my phone?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Rhem.
First welcome to android! If I was you and since you never done this before. I would use the device until my return policy is up, or at least til 30 days have past. That way if you have any issues with the device prior to that it a simple return/exchange for you.
If you still want to adventure on then here is the thread you need. Please read up BEFORE attempting this. That way you know what you are doing know what to except if something goes wrong.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006946
Also not being rude but remember to post in the right sections. To make the mods job a lil easier
Also there is unlocking the boot loader to flash ROMs and such. That can be found in the development section.
BUT IF I WAS YOU. I would wait til I know I have a problem free device before I jump in to messing with my phone.....

Wonderful advice bro,
And to help out a little more, the developers put an app in the play store called freegee to only unlock after rooted or you can use the aforementioned thread to unlock using your computer after you root

Simple question really...
In the DEV sections, why is there not one for ATT and one for international devices ??
People will get confused, and devices can proberbly get bricked from that alone, and that is just stupid...
Pleace split ATT from international section....
People won't get confused if they take the trouble to read. This has been discussed before.

If you would have used the search funtion you would have found an answer. Also this is in the wrong section seeing as it is a question.

I'm not really sure how anyone can defend the lack of separation in this forum. And the easy (and silly) way out is to simply say "read".
Everyone was outraged when they combined the S3 forums and after a couple of weeks of people complaining, they finally started (correctly) separating them. They need to do the same with this device's forum.
well if people can READ then they won't come into issues
Take it as you want...
It WAS only ment as a friendly heads up...
You are offcourse right that people can just read the header, provided that headers or at least the OP say it all, consequently at all threads...
But then again...
In the heat of the moment, I do understand if people can grab files from the wrong thread... And end up with a bricked device...
You actually also ask people to know that ATT and Telus is not just names of some odd features, and that it in fact carriers using different hardware, from the other site of the world...
Carriers that some people proberbly have never even heard about before...
And the other way arround, you need to get ATT and Telus users to understand that they can only use those files/roms, and that they can't use "international" and often unmarked roms...
- you need to make them to understand that "international" is not that international after all...
Oh well, I am just lucky it is not my decision, and also not me that get the blame WHEN someone grab the wrong file at some point...
An other positive we can get from splitting the dev section, is that it would be a lot less work to keep up with the development on the device that YOU own...
Hey, a thought...
WHY on earth have the admins made new section for the hox+ device at all...
There is actually not that much more different hardware from hox to the hox+, than there is from hox+att to hox+int...
Why at all have the xda-forums split into different manufacturer sections and again devided into different handsets...
People can "just read the header", can't they now ?
At last:
IF a wrong rom was only resulting in a silly language, funny colours on the screen, or perhaps a dead radio, and it was fixed easy just by flashing the right file, then I wouldn't care at all...!!
BUT this fault CAN actually brick people's device's, and that is why we should help people as much as possible, and split the ATT/TELUS from the International section...
Happy new year...

Another thing, I know there is a processor difference as well but why are the international/ATT HOX forums split but ours aren't?

Seriously people, your answer is, "JUST READ!" They should be separate in order to avoid confusion from the beginning. A lot of users would avoid issues if this was the case.

So the warnings you can read in some of the threads against flashing wrong files, is now not to be trusted anyway you say ??
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium
AT&T users are concerned about the wrong thing.... Aside from cooked roms (which I have a great appreciation for) we have no developers for things like CM/AOSP/AOKP. And instead people want to complain that threads are not separated.... Look at the damn description of what you are installing and the problem is solved. if you are in "the heat of the moment" looking for something and cant be bothered to read what you are doing you should consider buying an iPhone. There is no excuse for stupidity.

the devices are S-ON which makes a brick very unlikely
People use the word brick too often these days. A brick is when your phone is totally dead (corrupt/damaged bootloader). Not when your stuck in a bootloop. Flashing a custom rom only writes to /system/ /data/ and /cache/. So unless you do something totally retarded it's pretty much impossible to brick flashing the wrong rom.

It's not only "pretty much", but totally imposible to brick a s-on phone with flashing a rom. We had more than a hundred of One X on IRC channel that were "bricked" and with combined effort they all ran again eventually.
That said, it is possible however to ruin it so much that it is a very hard task for "unexperienced" users to get it to life again.
That makes it even more important for "unexperienced" users to read, and read and the read again before they start flashing. That is unfortunately something that got out of fashion these days. In the days you could actually "brick" your phone ppl were much more cautious.
Dividing this forum is a thing that is discussed, but I assure you that would not keep some ppl from flashing the wrong rom. On One X some don't even realize when they are on wrong forum and complain that the rom they installed wouldn't boot. So, whatever precautions we take, they only help so far...
Flashing an ATT Rom into an International device or vice versa, will most likely not brick the device but that doesn't justify why ATT and International threads are together. I kind of agree with OP, we should better have 2 different threads as Roms, themes, mods for one device doesn't work for the other.
I am also surprised to see both devices into the same thread :silly:

Why not help as much as possible ?

People also get hit by other cars when they don't notice a red light, but that don't stop us from having light signals in the trafic...

Please stop beating a dead horse and instead do something to actually help out on the forums. Why would you want to divide an already small community? This is not like the original One X that had a large following immediately. They are doing a favor to AT&T users by keeping us in here because people are nice enough to port their roms.

saves opening a ton of threads, if people actually read the threads.. rom's are split into correct headers... sure call us silly but people need to start learning to read
This is just my 2 cents, but not everyone knows the difference between the AT&T and International versions. Sure they have to read first and do their research, but at the same time the threads and files are freely available. They shouldn't be messing with their devices in the first place but then again the methods are just a click away.
Do we let the less-informed be "stupid" just so the community doesn't look as little/bare as it is currently? I don't know, maybe, but I have made mistakes (luckily not so severe) and a lot of people have too.
