there were threads about that, but I think that things have changed so much that the processes that were talked about are now extinct.

anyway can anyone help me?
need to unlock the sim card for all operators but can not find a solution.
I saw several links that say get the unlock code but are paid and have not seen any reference in forums on reliable sites. does anyone know any programs or trusted site and that really get the unlock code?
Thank you for your cooperation.
Unlock codes can be purchased online for just a few bucks. Idk if I'm allowed to list sites here or not but here is the one I use the most for unlocking phones Cellunlocker.net I've unlock alot of phones with their service for just a few bucks. I think the last time I unlocked a Atrix 4G it cost about $15

unlock your phone and install an international rom.

I'm assuming by "unlock" you mean unlocking the bootloader and then flash a custom rom. This wouldn't gsm unlock a phone to a different carrier.

when i unlocked mine it now shows all networks when i have no sim card installed. havent tried another carriers sim card in it to see if it works sorry if i was incorrect.
I'm on the same boat, I bought an Atrix 4g on amazon which was supposed to be gsm unlocked, but the only thing it had unlocked was the bootloader. I couldn't return it since I'm from Venezuela so I have to look for a way to unlock it.
I went to a store where they do this kind of stuff, the guy had some "zunzun" software to do it but it said something about the firmware being incompatible (android 2.3.6 4.5.141), I guess if downgrading doesn't work I'll end up buying an unlock code on one of those websites. I preferred the other method because I can pay with the local coin instead of buying expensive dollars...
@rdz420, please update if you manage to unlock it.
I've unlocked my Atrix 4G here, they are legit and it's cheap.

Take in mind that some AT&T phones can't be unlocked via code.. that's what they told me. (Mine is UK Orange, so I could unlock it :good
hey guys
I did not unlock the phone yet, but I spent a few shops that do unlocking here in Brazil, the majority says that the cel need to try to generate the code, but how they are generating the code? will be a trusted site?
Besides this method gave some research on kernel change, it seems that with the change of kernel + rom the phone would be unlocked with the network. right? anyone have any positive experience in the area?
thanks
Bootloader unlock = you can flash roms
sim unlock = you can use on other networks
One does not rely on the other, and i haven't seen any issues with one affecting the other

As @palmbeach05 said, both are independant. Bootloader unlock (thus installing new roms and kernels) doesn't unlock for any carrier and sim unlock by itself won't allow you to install new roms and kernels.

Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting an Atrix 4G, and I wanted to know... does rooting your phone unlock it?
If not, how do you unlock the phone without having to go to some unreliable website??b

Rooting just gives you Admin rights to your device.
Unlocking it is a completely different thing. Most people buy an unlock code off of eBay...

cellunlock.net 15 bucks for a moto unlock, enter android50 as your coupon and it's 50% off!
I've unlocked 5 phones in the last month, some codes I got within an hour, one of them took just under 24 hours.
I noticed the other day that ATT now has a link on your account page that spits out the unlock code for free.

Never mind. I just reread the link and it was how to get a code to *UNBLOCK* the sim card, not unlock. I really should wear my glasses more often.

So does unlocking mean it unlocks the phone like a root, or does it mean you can use the phone on any carrier?

Hello, I want to know how to unlock a Motorola Atrix 4G AT&T to work in any network.
Thanks a lot and God bless you all.
Call AT&T. They give several free sim unlock codes per year. You'll need the imei number.

Okay thank you very much, I bought one from eBay and I'm talk-type with the seller thru AOL Mail so it will be no problem to him to tell AT&T to give the unlock code.
att unlock
i ordered the code from a vendor and called and got it from att myself! that code DID NOT WORK! to unlock my atrix 4g... i even followed instructions on here to unlock the bootloader (which i did successfully) and was about to go alllllllllll the way, rooting etc.. and ended up having to sell the phone. i just got the atrix 2 and finally got it unlocked (YEAHHH) and now am thinking of unlocking the bootloader on it.

I want to unlock my ATRIX so I can sell it to anyone in the gsm network.
How do I get the unlock code without paying some website?
Is there an app for this or pc program you can recommend?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I've heard u can call the provider but I paid $2 on eBay and got one.
I don't want to pay because I go through so many phones I would have to pay every 3-4 months for the unlock code.
I don't think the carrier would give me so many unlock codes a year.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
If you bought your phone from a carrier, call the carrier, tell them you are going out of the country on vacation/business, and need the unlock code. They should give it to you with no problems.
If you bought from another source, do what the other poster said.
That's my problem...... I bought it off ebay with no contract.
I go through 4 phone s a year. Hoped someone could hook me up with a program that did it or I can buy and use over and over for each phone.

He was talking about SIM unlocking, not bootloader unlocking.
there's no free SIM unlocking program AFAIK, if the code is not from your carrier.
I don't need it be free. I just need a program to buy and use it for any gsm phone I get to unlock it.

I believe the SIM unlock code is per phone (the code for each phone is different). I saw someone posted some reputable web sites before, search for it.
He's each code is based on the manufacture and the IEMI number.
Just thought I could get an application for under $150 that has all the manufacturers and IEMIs on a database.
Just didn't want to pay and find a reputable website for each phone manufacturer.

Thanks. I will try my carrier - since its not bought from them I might not be granted this but I will stress I have been public valued customer for 7yrs with 3line. Might get me the code.
If not I will use your link. Thanks.
My main goal is to unlock this and throw it on eBay as an unlocked phone with no contract and mention root. This should allow the phone to sell for a higher price.
Thanks for all your help.
This is closed.

Called the carrier and BAM! in under 30 seconds they emailed me the unlock code.
Thanks everyone.

I have an S3 I9300 on OmegaROM V42 and 4.1.2 which is factory locked to my network.
I would like to unlock the phone so it will take any SIM card.
What is the easiest/quickest way to achieve that?
A way that hopefully I do not need to restore my data.
Insert your new SIM card and turn the phone on, when prompted enter the sim unlock code you obtained from your current network.
There is currently no 'free' way to unlock.

If your phone is the i9300 it's already unlocked.

Weird answer, network lock is present on all i9300 phones on bought via a network contract.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
Yes it is definitely locked but the operator will not unlock until contract ends.
What about something like the GalaxSIM app from the play store?
Will that do it?

best option try a third party unlock website
or also certain users on ebay offer a fast cheap unlock service for many networks

Instead of starting a new thread I'll ask here. Does anybody know of a good third party unlocking site? I'm trying to unlock a phone for my friend, but I'm not sure where it's from... possibly it's an international version? Any way to find out what it's locked to?
