Anyway to unlock the Motorola atrix 4g
Im getting one sent to me (im in canada), but not sure if unlocking will be easy (via codes, etc..)
Ill donate 10$ to anyone who figures a solution
( i know galaxy S, and HTC desire HD for example had solutions where you can unlock them by simple hacks, but if someone knows a site that provides the codes, the old fashioned send IMIE number, let me now)

Call the carrier an tell them your going on a nice trip to Mogadishu.
SS2006... how are you getting it sent to you? I'm in Toronto and been considering a day trip to Buffalo (ug) to pick one up.
Online there's Motorola IMEI unlock providers... and apparently programs that will calc the unlock code, though I don't know if they will work for the Atrix
i'm trying to keep one thread updated about this.
please see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960771 and if you are willing use that thread for updates

That thread only discusses how to get an unlock code from a third party/website charging and outrageous amount of money for something that should be free.
Personally I'd like to see the Dev's take on the unlocking rather than depending on a third party that I'd have to pay and get the rooting/unlocking procedure from them.

I called ATT and told them I travel a lot and need the phone unlocked. They told me I can get an Unlock code from them on August 22. The representative said he would give me right away, but when he typed my IMEI on the system that gives the unlock codes, a message showed that I could only get it by August 22.
At least thats something.
just called at&t to unlock for traveling over seas they said not until december.
That is true the only way you might be able to get one if you bought the device with out a discount meaning you paid full price.
By law they are forced to provide an unlock code for the phone

Hi everyone,
I travel a lot outside of the US and will need to unlock this phone so it can be used in other networks with SIM cards other than ATT's .... so, has anyone used such an unlock code or knows of a trusty source where to get one from even if you have to pay ?
Thanks.

I called and as expected there is an exclusivity period for the phone and AT&T won't give out the unlock code yet until that period is over. However, since I paid full price without a contract, they ask me to fax in my receipt for proof of purchase and we will see from there.
rotted and search the code through "Galaxy S2 Sim unlock" app. Will Let ya all know if it works.

Proof of purchase,
Nice might go this route and by the phone retail. Plan on doing that anyway.
Good to know they honor that.
Yeah. I sold my Captivate on eBay for $200 to offset the cost of the new phone. And Walmart's $520 off contract price is the best deal around. That leaves me $320 + tax for the new phone with NO contract extension.
Can be unlocked by AT&T, priceless

My process was a little more painful than yours. Yesterday I was on the phone with Customer Service for an hour, at the end of which they told me I needed to go into a corporate AT&T store with my proof of purchase (faxing was not an option), and they then would complete the request for the unlock code (I, too, travel frequently outside the US). So today I go into the store but unfortunately meet with the same resistance (i.e. "wait 6 months", "proprietary phone", "not our policy", etc.). Essentially it was almost an hour of:
AT&T: not possible
me: not acceptable
AT&T: not possible
me: not acceptable
AT&T: not possible
me: let me speak to your supervisor, please
[ hold ...... ]
AT&T: not possible
me: not acceptable
AT&T: not possible
me: not acceptable
AT&T: not possible
me: not acceptable
AT&T: not possible
me: well let me speak with someone who /can/ do it
[ hold ...... ]
AT&T (same person): Here's your unlock code, sir
Frustrating to say the least.
So, now I have the unlock code, but no instructions on how to enter the code into the phone. Would you, foxbat121, be so kind as to post the procedure so that I can get this thing unlocked? [ Thank you. ]

There are some wackey ways to enter unlock code. But I always keep a foreign SIM card around, even if it no longer works, just for this purpose (both enter unlock code and test if it works). So what I did was put in the foreign SIM card and power up the phone. It will ask you to put in the unlock code right away. See if you can find someone with T-Mobile phones to unlock and test your unlock code.

If you have gone through the other posts about sim unlock the T-Mobile LG V10, you must have come across users complaining that the Device Unlock app as well as the third party unlockers are not able to sim unlock some LG V10 phones, predominantly the ones that are purchased from the LG Partner Purchase Programs. Just want to check if there is any ROM that can help overcome this or can give the device unlock code popup when tried through the dialer? It's such a disappointment that I couldn't use this beautiful device on my network and struggling to find out a way for this unlocking.
For users who are having the same issue, do you think we need to go through an FCC Complaint for this?
I guess calling T-Mobile is of no help, no way they can add the IMEIs of such devices to the database?
I've been meaning to suggest this for a while. It's a huge longshot, because it seems to be limited to Samsung devices, but this fellow is able to unlock lots of their models by himself. I thought possibly someone could contact him and see if he might know anything about LG devices, or be up to the challenge of maybe tinkering with it. Wish I could be more helpful..

Hmm, I started a PayPal dispute with the seller and he declined mentioning PayPal will not consider buyer's remorse. Also since it was never used on a T-Mobile account, it isn't register in their databases. I am planning of taking a 100$ prepaid account, use it for 3 days, apply for unlock and then escalate the claim to PayPal as hardware issue. Will that work? Did anyone try this way with PayPal?
Did you try activating the phone by buying prepaid card? How did it go? I am facing same issue and looking for solution as well.

I bought a new s23 ultra from ebay but it's locked to Spectrum. I live in Ireland so I can't buy a spectrum sim and use it for 60 days so that spectrum would give me the unlock codes.

XDA doesn't allow for recommending or discussing unlock services.
OP if it was paid off in full, the seller should be able to get the unlock codes for you through Spectrum.

Whoops I misunderstood, unlocking is legal IF the device is paid off, and since XDA doesn't want to investigate everyone who posts about it to verify they aren't using a stolen device they just outright avoid that. it's uder their piracy/warez rules

They can call and request a temporary unlock for travel. Have the seller call Spectrum and request a temporary unlock and say that they are travelling to Ireland for work for 60 days.

So, I can use my non-spectrum in Ireland for the period of those 60 days?
Then what? get locked again with no excuse this time? :/
The other issue is that a vast majority of the Unlock Services out there are scams, and XDA should not support those sites, links to those sites and discussions of those sites.
It's too much of a slippery slope and, honestly, for a Mobile Dev Forum, unlocking is not a subject they should get into.
Now, i am just talking about SIM unlocking.
Spectrum will issue you an unlock code if the device is paid in full. You need to tell them you are moving it to another provider.
My roommate did it just last week.
