and it is factory unlocked ( I have a Rogers Lumia 920)

I got the phone from Rogers too. Are you saying it is unlocked and you can use it with other sims right out of the box?!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can anyone verify this? If this is correct it will be extremely surprising and awesome.

Could you please confirm?
Could you please confirm that this definately works with Wind?
I have been waiting for this since ages

You claim its unlocked out of box but he purchased an unlock code, is there a reason for that?

I picked one up yesterday and posted on howardforums with pictures. I can confirm that the phone comes factory unlocked out of the box, which is quite surprising. However, I still have to try using it with Wind...When I go to manual network selection, Wind shows up though.

I am the guy who posted that...I requested an unlock code thinking that the phone would be locked, and I wanted to use it on fido..AFTER requesting the code, I thought...hey..let's give it a try..and it worked...then I tried with Bell, and it worked too...That's the story behind requesting the code..Never received it yet anyways..

Thanks.
Hopefully you are able to find someone with a Wind sim to test. If so I may need to start calling rogers stores

This is awesome. How much did the phone come to taxes in. Also, did you need active rogers accounts to buy one?

I paid $600 + $78 in tax = $678.
I had a Rogers account but bought the phone off-contract obviously.

Not, you don't need an Rogers account to buy the phone.

Don't get me wrong, but could you please post a picture of the full frontal of the phone with Wind Home showing in the Call Tile?
Some people doubt and say that they have confirmed with Nokia that it is not compatible with Wind.
I am going to spend $675 only if it is compatible with Wind as I don't support Robellus.
Thanks in advance!

Lumia 920 does support WIND mobile?
Just being unlocked is not quite enough: does it also have AWS 1700 enabled? If both, Rogers can expect a flood of orders from T-Mo customers.

Before you get a non-rogers card, can you try doing a manual network selection and verify that you also see Wind mobile listed. IIRC, the Lumia 900 wouldn't even detect Wind.

On the other hand, EG8196 and hkalltheway are the only people in any of these threads who have actually used the phone and they both confirm that it was unlocked out of the box and that they are either using it on Wind or have had Wind show up on a network scan.
All the conflicting evidence is based on Nokia specs and claims which have historically been off base. For example, in the HoFo thread, there is a guy who said Nokia told him the N8 wouldn't work on Wind (we all know it does).

Nope. They buy it from a supplier. I have my wholesale accounts as well. I resell codes.
Is it possible for us to edit the nv_data.bin to unlock the phone? That method worked with my old SGS and I was just wondering if that's a Samsung thing or not

Hasoon, maybe you can confirm...I knew that Gsm network providers (att, tmo) used to provide the unlock codes to customers. So long as the customer answered every question they had and didn't suspect the customer to have ill-intentions.
Do they still provide it? Last time I tried thru a carrier, it turned into a two week q&a session and never getting the device unlocked...thru them.
If you wouldn't mind, please share how this works from your stand-point (reseller) from mfr >carrier>customers {ie, where does the device"supplier" you referenced come in?}
Thanks.

If you have T-Mobile and want to unlock an AT&T phone, they won't do it. You have to have the carrier's service and they will unlock the phone that they provide for their network.
With me, it works as MFR -> supplier -> Me -> my customers. My supplier buys the database of codes, I buy the codes from my supplier, my customers buy the codes from me.
so your like a middleman... do you make profit? and how did you get started in this? (im looking for easy ways to make money lol... sucks being 15)

Of course man. It's a business lol. I've been doing this since I was 12 along with fixing computers. I'm 20 now. You can do a lot. I used to (I still do actually) sell phones in junior high, high school and now in college.

Do you want your AT&T Nokia Lumia 920 unlocked????

Hey everyone! I've got T-Mobile and I'm debating whether I should buy an AT&T Lumia 920 but I don't know if the same thing is going to happen like with the Lumia 900, No codes until after 6 months. So instead of investing in the phone I'm not sure is going to work, I can invest in your phone to see if there is an unlock available for it. If you have an AT&T Nokia Lumia 920 message me and I will pay for an unlock from cellunlocker . net . So I could see if unlocks are available for the AT&T phones. So you help me figure out if we can unlock these and you get your phone unlocked free! If you're interested message me with your IMEI. AT&T phones only.
Seriously no one wants an unlock? I'm dying to know if the AT&T Lumias can be unlocked :-S
They can't be. Not for 6 months.
Numerous people have tried. Please read the threads above and below yours before posting.
Rogers will unlock their model for 50$. Don't think that'll help you though.

Hello I actually bought a Lumia 920 last Thursday(15.11) from AT&T they told me that it can be unlocked but I'm still waiting to get the unlock code.
I told them that if It can't be unlocked I will return it and they said that is ok, so lets see after some days if its possible or not.
Well i have two Nokia Lumia 920, and i need to unlock them too. Sign me up.

Nothing specific I only walked in and told them I want to buy a Lumia 920, And I want to be able to use it with an other operator as I'm not from the USA. And they told me no problem. But lets see if I get any unlock codes from them, in the unlock e-mail I got it was written it will take 5 - 7 business day to get the unlock codes.

I was definitely serious. I got two responses. So I went with who sent me a request first but.... OH MY GOD!!! ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!!!
They've gotta be joking! I was expecting it to be 40 tops.
That's cellunlocker.net.
Does anyone know somewhere else offering AT&T codes?

I got in touch with the over on This Link, and told it can be done in 24 hours or 7 days, but they guarantee it works.

Interesting.
I'm wondering if they have not just screwed this one up as there is also a listing for an (Unlocked) Lumia 920 @ $794. Obviously a non-AT&T one.
Still I'm going to chuck down an order and send them a message asking to confirm this is actually unlocked.

Please let us know if you hear back from them. I'll buy one if it's really unlocked!
I haven't purchased a 920 yet. I probably won't, I'll pass on WP if I cannot find a Dev 920 or an unlocked non-ATT branded version. And I'm on ATT, such is my hatred for branding and gimping.
Small update if anybody is interested. Got a reply from expansys regarding my order;
Hello, it has been confirmed with AT&T that this device is unlocked.
Thank you have a wonderful day!

Take it with a grain of salt but they're digging themselves a pretty big hole if this proves to be incorrect.
The downside is they do not expect my order to ship out till 10th December:crying:

Did they tell you it won't ship till the 10th? The website says "Usually ships in 8 days", yesterday it said "9 days", wonder what that means. I placed my order and tried to get in touch with them on the phone, but I guess they're not taking calls Thanksgiving weekend.

Just bought my gear S from ATT store without contract.

I'm not an ATT customer so the ATT store wouldn't sell it to me unless I have an account. The thing is I wanted the great no contract price of $299 so that I can choose whom ever I'd like service with. So I just asked my friend that has Att service if I could use his account info to buy the device and it worked. Sold me the gear S with no tie ins. No contact at full price of $299.
Compare that to no contract pricing of :
T-Mobile $350
Sprint $384
I thought the ATT gear s was not unlocked?

Go into the store buy it at full cost unlocked. Trust me it worked.
Good to hear. Ya im going after work today to pick mine up from the ATT store. I dont think im going to get service on it though. I trying to see if I can just use the sim card from my note 4 in it.
Your choice of carriers is still limited. You can only use it with GSM carriers which means AT&T and T-mobile and their prepaid partners. It doesn't support AWS so won't guarantee 3G on t-mobile.
Wait wouldn't your friend have to add some kind of gear s plan to his account? If not then I need to find an At&t friend.
I was considering the same since the local Sprint stores are out of stock, but every ATT store is swimming in them. Then it came to me that Sprint cannot work with GSM.

THIS anyone know any extra AT&T friends
I wonder if its better to just buy the Gear S outright, with no service plan and rely completely on Bluetooth. I'm never without my phone, plus it would be nice to not have to pay $10/mo for a service I know I'd never use (3G on watch).
My only worry would be endless prompts of "No Service" but I'm not sure if that's how it would work.

if you forward your calls it should not say that you could always buy a sim card just to have in there I suppose maybe even add a pre-paid sim card that runs on AT&T net work net10 or something. I plan to not use the card service as well

Doesn't matter. Still should work with CDMA YAY! Just need to get a Sprint sim or any sim of your choosing. If you want to use it with your Sprint account then you'll need that sim. The watch is CDMA capable. I don't know about AWS but T-Mobile seems to say it is 4G (HSPA+) compatible. I don't know that it will work on 1700 but they also use the standard for their 3G. Tizen is not locked and the device shouldn't be either.
Hello everyone. After a long search this morning I finally found a AT&T store with a Gear S. Bought it outright (not a AT&T customer) with out any problems. Finally got home and popped my tmobile sim card in it and found out it is carrier locked. Has anybody else tried this with different outcome? Plz let me know.

Can't you unlock it as you would a phone? llike simunlock.com or something. I am not a customer either but I have Sprint with their fake sim card (uicc card only gives LTE no LTE on watch). what about a pre-paid sim card running off AT&T like Straight talk or Net 10 something like that

What's the verdict if it's unlocked and can be used on Verizon? I'd rather pay $299 than $399. Would prefer Android but for $299 I can live with Tizen and hope a Google Voice and Groove IP equivalent app show up eventually.
You could unlock it.. But i might as well just wait for T-Mobile to sell there's... Since i have to pay for the unlock

Will t-mobile unlock it for you after a certain time? I know with phones they want you to be on a plan for 40 days for phone anyway. Someone said 60days for AT&T Sprint no go

Boost Mobile ZTE Unlock - Need to know what company CAN do this

I recently bought a ZTE Max XL from a customer that had it on Boost Mobile.
I was unaware that Boost requires the phone to stay within their carrier network "Active" for
at least 12 months. They tell me the phone IS eligable for DSU (unlocking) however they
won't do it because of the 12 month requirement. They tell me to drop my service and come on
over to Boost... NOT my ideal solution.
Does ANYONE know a service or company (or individual) that can unlock my ZTE Max XL N9560?
Currently attempting to use:

and
www.code-unlock-store.com
Any help welcome =)
were you able to unlock it?

Boost ZTE Max XL unlock

Even if you have had the Boost ZTE Max XL for a year of service with Boost and you manage to get them to give you the unlock code, there is no way to put it in the phone. Typically, if you insert a different carrier sim in the phone, it will prompt for an unlock code. Try it on the Max XL. It just says "invalid sim", no way to enter anything. So, as incredible
as it sounds, what Boost and Sprint are doing is giving you a code, but there is no way to actually enter it.
You could buy an unlock code from one of the online sources. Some of them will
tell you that they can't unlock this Boost phone. Others have instructions that tell you once you have the unlock code, how to enter it. It starts with inserting a different sim. That doesn't work. Next it's try a variety of half a dozen strings on the keyboard to get it to prompt for the unlock code input. They don't work. Try them before buying any code. My conclusion is that these codes will not work, because there is no way to put them into the phone.
Then there is the ultimate gotcha. If you look at the specs for this phone, it supports both CDMA and GSM. It should work on AT&T or Tmobile, for example. But if you do some googling you will see people saying that Boost/Sprint has the GSM disabled, ie the firmware isn't there to enable it, etc. So, even if you successfully unlocked the phone, where are you going to go? Nowhere. You're on Boost, Sprint won't take the phone, they have a very selective and short list of phones they will accept. I doubt Virgin will take it. So, you're pretty much stuck, with nowhere to go. :crying:
If you want to go to another carrier, best solution is to sell the phone on Ebay and get one that works on the other carrier. And so much for the new unlock policy of the industry. The govt was after them a couple years ago for their abuse of customers with locked phones. So, the industry sold the govt on the idea of letting them get together and come up with an industry wide agreed solution. And this is how Boost/Sprint is implementing it. In essence, nothing has changed with them. Others like Verizon, I understand don't lock their phones. MetroPCS only requires 90 days of service, then there is an unlock app on the phone where you request it and it automatically unlocks.
In other words, some companies are honest and ethical, some, not so much.:crying

For rooting or unlocking? I don't have the handset i just thought i had read somewhere that there was no root available due to BL locked, no fastboot etc. Here is a thread discussing root and if you search around here and on AF im sure you might come across more. https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/zte-max-xl-root-custom-recovery-t3601219
If you need anything unlocked just read through this thread. I recommended a guy and others have as well.
Testing possible unlock.
here is a forum that has a link to maga.
Going to try it out and post there the unlock results.

Question which countries with SM-S918B have OEM/bootloader unlock?

After reading the forums, apparently the UK version of SM-S918B doesn't have the OEM bootloader unlock.
Which country do I need to buy from to get the Bootloader unlockable version?
If someone from another country, or has one from another country could fill me it, I'd appreciate it.

The trick is to change the dates in the settings to get OEM unlock to show up. My S23 U from latin america did not have it at first. I had to change dates to get it to appear.

We've got an 11 page thread going, that doesn't work for us
Samsung against its t&c has locked the phone's pending (in my case) trade-in, I sent it back its own email confirming it has the trade-in from Monday
T&Cs state lock if you fail to send trade-in, not lock until you do.
I have the executive office in a tailspin trying to resolve this

I also bought a phone using Trade-In. On Monday I received confirmation that they received my Trade-In and will send another email when they check and confirm. Let's see if that's the reason..

I don't think they "locking" for failure to send the trade-in refers to the locking of the boot loader.

I had a Sony Z3 with a cracked screen.
It's legitimate if I'd been disingenuous and therefore not paid that the phone is locked as advised, but not locked pending some event out of my control

Samsung absolutely can remotely lock phones. This is exactly what KnoxGuard can do.
