I am reading different threads about unlocking lumia920 and now am confused, basically what my problem is that here I have an AT&T Nokia Lumia that is locked to AT&T USA. I am located in Pakistan and I need to unlock this device to use it, I read that it can be unlocked by flashing a different firmware, as being a noob on windows phone, would appreciate someone helping me regarding this, which firmware should I flash to unlock and then also how do I flash it? sorry for the noobness.

AT&T locked Nokia 920 WON'T unlock with flash to a different ROM. I must unlock it via AT&T customer service center or via many web sites, which provide such service.
Go to the AT&T international support website and do the support chat to see if they will unlock it.

Hello guys,
This is my first post in this great looking forum & Happy New Year 2011
I have a Sony Ericsson X10a phone from Canada's wireless provider Rogers. and I've tried unlocking it by buying a code from one of the unlocking sites out there, (am I allowed to say the sites' name?!) but it didn't work! They told me I had to check the attempts and whatnot, so they refused to give me my money back.
I followed this tutorial (below) but it didn't work out for me. and I have a feeling that Rogers locked this phone so damn good it can't be unlocked.

Okay guys.
Here is new X10flash for Firmware 2.1 Version (old 1.6 Firmware can not be flashed with this at the moment).
Windows 7/Vista Users should diasable UAC!!
Download Flasher: (Update 14.11.2010) GUI VERSION!!!

HOWTO for Flasher here:

You will see that there is a new Folder "firmware" the firmware files must be inside this folder!
Download Firmware:

Put the extracted files into the new "firmware" Folder and run the X10flash.bat
SO-01:
http://www.multiupload.com/E3C7FRFAQ9 DOCOMO (thanks to indigomode)
You have to wipe your USERDATA !! This is important, otherwise you will enter Bootloops etc.
Also be sure SEUS is NOT running! (But at least it should have detected your phone once)
THIS FIRMWARE IS ONLY FOR X10 NOT FOR MINI (PRO) or X8 !
But the flashtool should be capable of flashing all Xperia Series now!
If someone decrypts the Rom you can try it
Regards
Bin4ry
If you have more ROMS, just drop me a PN and i will add them to this post!
IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS LIKE "Unable to Open Channel" please try this guide:

The Rogers logo is now gone after what I believe was flashed (and/or rooted) but the sim card is still locked.
Any chance I can format, update/upgrade, and "sim" unlock my phone?
Thanks for any help!

Hi.
You've debranded your phone, but simlocking is different, and there is no free way at the moment, so you'll need to have a browse of the numerous unlock threads to see which services people have used and decide for yourself.
And if you've been ripped off post the name of the company so others can avoid them.

So debranding the phone won't unlock it and you say "there's no free way atm."
and what do you mean by services?
Do you mean unlocking sites and/or paid programs?
The site is cellunlocker.net but I don't know if the code would've worked if I had enough attempts, but I still doubt that the code sent to me is genuine!
any chance of formatting the phone so I can have 5 or 10 new attempts?!
Thanks for your reply.

Because I've read numerous threads on it over the last 6 months of being a member here. Loads of people have successfully unlocked their phones, the problem is however they've all had to pay. As for the Cellunlocker, some HERE have said it worked for them, so not sure why it didn't for you, and you'll find other suggestions HERE

Well, his codes are manufacturer codes not carrier ones. If you check other sites the price is between $35-$40 for the Xperia X10. I have tried many sites with no success. But Lancez has provided me with the correct codes within 10 days and they worked from the first attempt. You can also read the review about his service from other members who used it on the same thread I gave you earlier. I have unlocked two X10a's through him with no problem.
http://www.mobileincanada.com
$20 from here for Rogers x10a (That's what I am and what I got unlocked)
Confirmed worked. Got my code within 2 days.
If you don't know, you need to put in a sim card that ISNT rogers in order for it to ask you to input your unlock code. Perhaps your code actually does work but you didn't put it in the right place? It took me a while to figure this out

I did put another (non Rogers) sim card and I typed the code in the right place because there are no other places for it. and still it didn't work!
it showed "couldn't unlock sim. contact your service provider"

Hi all. Picked up a locked galaxy the other day and just wondering if anyone can help me unlock it to any sim or is there a universal unlock for this yet? Thanks
which country is selling the sg3 locked? I thought they were all carrier unlocked..not sure about the U.S. ones that will come though.
Here in Holland there is an option to buy a T-mobile branded phone: by the smartphoneshop online here.
If you select the Galaxy S3 you can choose to buy the simlock-free version or the T-mobile versoin (cheaper).
I think this one could be sim-locked.
Maybe someone experiencing this same problem?

I've tried to reflash several different stock roms but nothing worked. Its still locked.
Picked up what i thought was a unlocked (even says "not carrier branded" on my recite). And its locked, i called them and they apparently had the wrong phones shipped to them or whatever.
So now i'm stuck with a locked SGS3 until monday (the store has closed until then..) Cant call or sms. it sucks. Anyone know how I can fix this?
As of yet an unlock method has not been posted .
You can ask or pay your network to unlock .

Nah the carrier won't give me the unlock code.
Bollox.
Someone surely has been working on an unlock for the S3?

I'm not sure if it works or not as I don't have an SG3

Any other suggestions?
Need to unlock asap.....

Hello XDA former go'ers,
I would appreciate a few nods or shakes of the head before I consider proceeding with this...
I have a Galaxy S3 network locked to Three. (with their giant 3 logo appearing when I turn it on being a give away).
Can I just flash the BTU unlocked UK firmware to it via the ODIN software?
I assume you do not need to get the phone network unlocked first. (can do that later)
If anyone has links to the best stock firmware file available right now and the most up to date ODIN that would be appreciated too
Thanks

Hi mate,
Yes you can flash the network branding free rom via odin (very easy to do)
You also don't need to be unlocked to do so... But keep in mind that flashing a non 3 rom wont unlock the phone and you will still have to do so to use on other networks.
If you need any further help with it then drop me a PM and I'll help you all the way.
Thank you, the firmware flashing went without a problem.

HI,
Mine is black AT&T lumia (059L848) and I downloaded via NCS.
I got the product code of dev edition (059R2L5) from this link http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f60...ting-care-suite-download-1660094/#post9434277
So I just tried flashing that version to my black AT&T 920 and it gave me the error Platform ID check fails. Says the FFU file is not meant for this product. Platform ID of image does not match with the platform ID of the device.
Did you flash to any other version prior to going to the dev rom or straight from stock ATT to ATT dev? Perhaps I have to be on an earlier version of the stock ATT rom to do the flash to the current dev rom?

You have to flash to non-portico Rogers rom like RM820_1232.2109.1242.1002 in order to flash your AT&T nokia.

A forum member manage to flash back the AT&T stock rom, but I can find the thread / msg with his steps...there is a app in the store for tethering. It was released last week i think. Did you try installing extra keyboard layout - someone mentioned that this can allows tethering
im flashing to this ROM right now... i was originally in AT&T stock but moved to Rogers pre-portico then jumped to european trying to get to Stock ROM unsuccessfully i ended up with the Mexico ROM and now im Trying this one...
edit - using Developers ROM
- this ROM work perfect to me now... i have all the languages that i wanted to change my phone with, I get LTE as well as before was only 4G
thank you
So for those using the developer ROM, is it worth doing? What's different about it? What's the branding on it?
