[Q] Network Unlocking - Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After rooting previous Android phones and getting network unlocked automatically, I was a bit surprised to discover that after unlocking the bootloader and rooting my XT 1021 Moto E, my phone is still locked to Vodafone. Dows anyone know a way around this please? I refuse to pay the Vodafone Giant another £20 just for a Network Unlock PIN, if there is software out there that can do it for free.

Same here. Tried several eBay unlockers and none have been able to unlock it for me. Anyone?!?!?

[Q] Is the HTC JetStream locked only for AT&T

Has anyone knows if the JesStream is SIM Locked to AT&T or is it possible to use a different Operator SIM ?
Anyone tried ?
It's SIM locked to AT&T.
Does anyone no if ATT will unlock them so you can use a local sim when travelling internationally?

Thank you for the feedback, everybody! Definitely going to find some one with US social security number now!
Buying from outside the USA
I saw these people will sell to international customers. I do not know anything about them, though.
I have ordered mine from AT&T through a friend.

Hm Interesting.
I got my hands on a HTC jetstream test machine for their engineers and it didn't come locked. Had AT&T Logos on it as well. Could just be because it was for the Taiwan Engineers so they didn't lock it. Quite interesting.
Can anyone verified if Jetstream gets 3G/3.5G speed on US T-Mobile sim card with AWS frequency? Or just edge? Someone from XDA posted the Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcZlljP62Ew&feature=youtu.be) video saying it works on Orange network, but I realized the device was only getting "edge".

Hi,
Was wondering if the sim unlock will cause a change in the root or if the root could interfere with the sim unlock or if any future updates will revert the sim unlock to sim lock?
Wanted to be sure before unlocking the sim.

I unlocked my Jetstream a couple of months ago. I rooted the jetstream last week and didn't see any issues. Although now I am bricked because of an unrelated reason. But you won't see any problems with unlocking your SIM.

Rooted first but now cannot sim unlock
Hello Everyone,
I have a Jetstream ATT which I rooted with developer d00mlord's stuff. Recently I decided to unlock it from the ATT network. The unlock code says unlock successful, but after rebooting it comes back up with the same locked screen. This will happen over and over again. This is happening with an ATT sim card too, so that I cannot use the data features with anything but wifi. The company who provided the unlock code tells me it may be due to the tablet having been rooted, and that I will need to factory reset everything. So, I am hoping that someone might be able to tell me what I should do. I have noticed that this thread addresses the sim unlock first and then a root afterwards, but not the other way around. I cannot seem to find a thread that is more relevant. This is my first posting and I am brand n00b so thank you very much for even reading this over.
when you say locked screen..what exactly do you mean?
for other sims to work you need to add a proper APN (maybe even for at&t after the unlocking). try googling: "the name of your provider + APN settings"
and add it to the settings>wireless>mobile networks

[Q] Xperia u ST25i Network Unlock

Hi
Am in UK with the above phone which is locked to t-mobile. I'm not a real IT whiz but can do SOME stuff - is there a relatively straightforward way of unlocking the phone? It HAS got (all) 5 attempts left; I've tried a couple of online dealers who say they CAN give me a code but they've not been able to for some reason.
I'd be very grateful for some help here - thanks very much in advance
I think you should contact T-mobile, only them can unlock your phone...As far as I know,when a phone is network locked you have to contact your provider for unlocking

HELP: LG V10 T-Mobile Unlock App: Unknown Failure, Please Try Again Error!

Hello Professionals,
I have a little, or maybe difficult problem which I think you might be able to help me on.
I bought a LG V10 H901 T-mobile on eBay sometimes ago, it was still locked to the T-mobile network and I've been making ALL efforts to unlock it for use. When I opened the Device Unlock App and click on permanent unlock to see if my device can connect to the T-mobile Server, the response I get every time is : ' UNLOCK FAILED: Unknown failure, please try again' which means the device unlock services online won't work for my device. I've restarted my phone a lot of time, also updated my device to the latest version, I've even done factory reset but I still get the same error still.
My Phone is not rooted either and I don't live in the US or a territory where T-mobile network works! I'm planning to unlock the Phone for International use. Now, I don't know what else to do to get my T-mobile LG V10 SIM unlocked. Please, kindly help me with this issue as I'm really bothered right now.
Thanks Everyone!
A couple threads already on this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/unlocking-sim-tmobile-t3241032

You can try a generic unlock site and see if it works. Mine didn't since it was a locked "LG partner phone" and I had to email T-mobile's higher management for them to make an exception and add my IMEI to their database. Calling their regular customer service was useless. Use the T-mobile IMEI checker webiste first to see if it's recognized.
Other people haven't been so lucky and have to activate the phone for a couple months on the t-mobile network so they add the IMEI to their database according to their terms and services. Being out of country makes that pretty difficult.
All in all, it might be easier to just sell it and buy an unlocked version already especially if out of country.

I used unlockpolice.com to unlock my phone. It cost me $180.00 and they had to connect to the phone with a USB redirector app. First time they read some information from it, second time was to unlock it. They did not change the IMEI number, and it is sim unlocked. Am using it with AT&T after flashing the U1 firmware (removed sprint bloat)
I did not try to use the phone back on Sprint, honestly no reason too for me.
