Sorry if this might be a neweb question, but I couldn't find the answer online.
Is the phone carrier locked? If so can it be unlocked? Will flashing a new rom solve the problem?
Thanks!
Yes, mine is locked in Vodafone RO.
The method i've seen till now is with sim unlock code using imei number. Hope there is another way, because i don't want to pay 40$ for a code.
i'm new in the android bussines and i don't know about flashing and stuff.
i heard rumors about rooting your phone and installing custom android. that will unlock it.
1st I wanna say i came from an inspire so probably things are a bit different.
I bought a att atrix, now I will be using this in the dominican republic so i need unlock, in the inspire rooting would give you radio OFF and your device would be unlocked, after reading here unlocking BL and Rooting won't give you sim unlock and the best thing to do would be to buy an unlock code from ebay. Some one please confirm this.
Now the device comes with gingerbread, I don't need to flash an sbf right? I can go straight to unlock the bootloader?
Now to unlock the bootloader, ive seen several methods, the easiest ones seems to be the Script which has everything, but after readying the latest posts, almost everyone is getting issues? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871 is this recommended or not?
ALso found this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202883&highlight=sim+unlock
Just wanted your input on how should i unlock the bootloader since getting the money for the phone wasn't easy and I don't want it lost by hard bricking.
Also any insight on further processes like installing CWN and Rooting would be helpful.
Thanks in advance, will thank people who help.
Anybody? Hello?
Call or chat to AT&T customer support for sim-unlocking your phone. Better to use online "Chat" since they'll ask your phone's IMEI # and you don't want to misspell it. Atrix is not exclusive to AT&T, so if you're kind and reasonable enough, they'll give the unlock code to you for free. Call again if you're denied at first, I'm sure you'll meet someone who wants to help you. I just got mine a few weeks back.
For BL unlocking and rooting, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600 if you're new to this.
Hi guys. I recently bought U20i and i want to remove sim lock on it.
I am not serious unlocker or seasoned phone cracker but i used to unlock my nokia and my SE via some usb cables i think decade ago LOL. From my experience one need to know exact phone spec and according to this there should be some archives and programs which can be executed to sim unlock phone.
I already tried to use search option and i've read quite some threads without any success. I see similar threads already exist here but they all mostly end up in arguing about something other with no real and relevant resource. Some say that it can't be done freely, some say that can be done only via ordering unlocking code, some claim that they did it by flashing rom etc.etc. Very confusing. Also i am bad at english so it's pretty hard to find what i want. Hopefully you'll take my honest apology for opening same thread all over again but i really hope that this time someone will post some results.
So basically here are my question:
Can i SIM unlock this one via my own usb cable and some sort of flasher,patcher or whatever is called? If answer is no then no if yes could you provide link with tutorial?
Once when phone is sim unlokced can i put custom android on it without loosing sim unlock capability? I am asking this since i read here that some people loosed their sim unlock after they applied custom android. Could it be the case or this is just some sort of user side error..?
Is there any benefit to upgrade my phone with custom android? I have 2.1update1. If i upgrade to bigger version am i going to get something special or just different look of icons?
But mainly i am interested in sim unlock. If there is some sort of debranding involved etc. i really don't care i can accept whole new factory settings, just as long as phone will support english.
Thanks in advance for any help
i think you should be able to sim unlock your phone whit this
http://omnius-server.com/
but i'm not sure about it i've never tried it, just read about it in some post.
wait for someone with more experience before trying it
Thanks matte. I just checked site. Seems ok. If one day license will allow me to make permanent unlock then it seems worth it. I mean this:
Full and permanent unlock
Allows you to perform the permanent change of the network lock status of your phone. After further flashing or customization it will remain unchanged.

Then just receive the nik code to unlock! Sadly this only work for Chile :c
rophiroth thanks for help. It won't work for me though. I am from Europe. Thanks anyway.
Anyone with omnius experience?
There are a few people here who have used Omnius. I don't believe it's free. I'm not aware if you can unlock this free yourself, but I am interested too so I'm subscribing to this.
As for re-locking via new ROMS, I thought that only happened in some situations when unlocking the bootloader. The bootloader unlocking threads mention that some people have had a relock but that's not the case for everyone and I believe it might be if you do something wrong.
Ok guys i sent email to Omnius. If they give me positive answer i'll do it with them and I'll report it here clearly, i mean my results. So in future everyone will know about this.
Kind regards
My phone was sim unlocked when I have been unlocking bootloader.

You simply need to wait for results. At the moment everything seems a bit tedious about U20i sim unlocking. Please be patient. I'll post my result when possible.
I unlocked an E10 with Omnius... This is what I can say:
For unlocking, it works easy and clean, includes all your drivers, you just need basic widows "driver installing" knowledge.
It's the cheapest one I found for 1 phone unlock.
In theory, Omnius unlocking is a permanent solution for SIM unlocking...
In practice: Currently you can't unlock the bootloader of an Omnius SIM-unlocked phone. So if you are interested in modding, don't use Omnius today. Use unlocking codes instead, multiunlock or setool2.
--edit:
davinci is cheaper than omnius, but also lacks bootoloader unlock also.
Sim unlock
Hi.
I'm looking to sim-unlock my X10 mini.
i have searched a number of threads and this one came closest to answering the question
This is my simlock info:
(x) Network 5
( ) Network subset 5
( ) Service provider 5
( ) Corporate 5
( ) SIM 0
From my understanding I'm not able to use a code to remove the sim lock.
Are ther any other options avaiable?
Thanks
Yes, you can...
Insert a sim from another network.
check if the unlcok menu appears after booting the phone. If it does, you need to order an unlock code from a trusty site (it takes more or less 1 week).
Cable unlock is a bit more difficult (lots of drivers to install), cheaper and instant after purchase.
Or you could purchase a sim adaptor to spoof the network.

Hey guys!
so i bought a Motorola Atrix 4G on ebay. (I am not from the US).
I managed to unlock it and put on Cyanogenmod.
Afterwards i got the problem that the sim is locked to the AT&T network.
I called the customer service and they gave me the unlock code which suits to my IMEI.
Unfortunately the code did not work. The person on the phone said that the phone is now locked to the AT&T SIM-Cards.
Is there a way to fix my problem? I read another thread, where the person said that he flashed the radios 2 or 3 times.
but the links are dead.
best regards
nextcard
One thing is that the device is hardlocked and other is unlock code not accepted. The thread is about code not accepted. Theres a method to unlock hardlocked but requires unlocking equiments, which i have. Maybe an unlocks dedicated store near you have it.

Hi i just unlock my device after hours of investigation. Yes, you have to change the baseband. Here is what you have to do. Flash the baseband to the ones from brazil (search in google sbf not the zip ones), after the process you can put it back to the usa at&t radio. Ones you change to tha brazil radio (wipe always before changes radio), put one sim card of another provider and voila, the code will work. You need to have your phone with no registration of motoblur at all.
I hope it will help you.

Hello guys,
I am new to the whole bootloading and unlocking phones thing and I have a problem. I have a Nokia Lumia 800 with a prepaid lock, now my question; could someone make me a tutorial on how to unlock the phone with some steps and links to the tools I need? Maybe this question has been asked and answered already, send me a link of that thread then, but I have searched the forums for about 3 hours now and im getting a bit hopeless now.
Regards,
Zoipe

There are several internet services that can provide me with a code similair to the one the carrier will give me, but I do not know which one I can trust and which one not. Do you have any idea where I could get a unlock code cheap and safe?
