Did you contact the guy you bought the phone?
From what you say, seems that the guy rent the phone to a 3rd party and sold it to you... if that was the case I would look for a refund because probably it's stolen.

Hi I have tried this and there is no hope, since the guy sold to me is not reachable. and i can't get refund and have to leave with the phone... can you please also let me know how to find CSC code in this case.

I just bought this Vibrant over ebay.
What sux is, the user is some what mislead prints.
Here is the case, phone is locked down. pattern lock down...
Factory Reset code does not work.
Hold Down Vol Down + Vol Up + Power Button, Release Power on Vibrant Logo show up. This procedure done so many times, did NOT work.
Does this mean I have a Hardware Lock? on this phone. (the phone shows July/17/2010)
Please tell me what options there are to solve this issue?
I like to use this phone on a prepaid sim. later get this sim unlock also.
Adb reboot recovery. You have to dl the android sdk first.

does this require, going in the device and enable debug? cause I can not even go in to Stock Recovery Mode. Stuck on the google account log in screen.
can you tell me how to get adb recovery to work?
thnx in advance.
Why does this post seem a little fishy to me? My instincts would lead me to think the phone isn't legit. You bought a phone off of Ebay, AND it came screen locked? Having sold many a phone on Ebay, I can tell you the first thing I do is wipe the phone and restore it to 100% stock. Receving one locked is alot more than "misleading", it just plain makes no sense. But I.m guessing you already know that. If it walks like a duck, and quack likes a duck....it's probably a stolen phone
Just sayin.....

Why don't you email the seller and ask what the pattern was?

That would be too easy
Dipping it in acid unlocks it in sub seconds, if you use hot water it will take longer, but you will get an email confirmation of a full unlock.

Tell you what, I actually got a hold of the Original owner of the phone, she was nice to add me to Authorized user, some hispanic lady. She gave up on the phone cause not what she exactly need. have no clue how to even use it correctly. Friend of her, sold it on ebay. I bought it, ever since been in touch with T-Mobile. Trying to get IMEI Unlock code!! still waiting...for that email...
do not bother, "there is app to get unlock code" I KNOW! there is!! I want to use it badly...Problem is, I am in a town where T-Mobile does NOT EXIST!! Only ATT. That is why, getting unlock code, so I can use it on ATT. Log in the phone, and Format with Custom ROMs.
This is my only choice now I have...suck aint it.

up to you, what you think. i got plenty of ways to prove the phone is legit. plus got tmobile and local police report ready file against the seller, if the phone is stolen property.
I handle every online shopping, like if the other end having a death wish to come.
when other play fair, I will too. if they decided something fishy, I will put a guillotine on them.

She sold you a hardware locked phone that's also pattern locked and you're okay with that? Why don't you demand your money back? How can you talk about how you would put the guillotine to a bad seller when that is exactly what you're dealing with?
Hey everyone ... first of all I want to say sorry if this is not the correct place to post this but I really need help. I bought Xperia X10 this morning (found it on Craigslist) and the person I bought it from told me that it will work with my t-mobile even tho its branded with at&t! I believed that person and got home charged the phone because it had less than 2% battery when I bought it ... anyways, its NOT working. It asks for unlock pin for the sim card. I didnt know what to do so I called the ATT people and she said that she is not able to get the code and she also said that I can get the code from ATT After JULY!!! I dont know HOW she came up with that date but I dont think I can wait that long. I have been on the computer ALL day searching for what to do and learned lots of new things lol but I still didnt get it unlocked ... I read there that ROM or custom rom is like a firmware? I think I can do something if someone guides me in right direction .. and I also looked at those websites where they SELL the code for about 40-50 bux and I think its too much cause I already paid so much for the phone so Please some one help me cause Google always guides me to the infamous XDA-Devs forum .... thanks in advance and once again, sorry if this is not suppose to be here! Feel free to PM me with any info that could/would me!!!

wow ... not a single reply? Is anyone alive in this forum??
if i figured out this right u need a PIN code for your SIM card... if u don't know ur pin just buy another phone card and request from att number change and pick ur old number
Those sites are the only ones that unlock it. IM afraid that u will have to go with at&t or pay 50$ to unlock it.
BTW I would whip that ***** that sold u the phone.

I don't know what you mean but from all the searching and whatnot, I think that when I put the T-mobile sim in and it asks for Unlock PIN ... it means that its Locked BY ATT and the only person/people that can unlock is ATT but when I called them and asked to do it ...they asked me for my IMEI# and told me that it wasnt possible to unlock it ... first time I called them they said I could call them back after few months and they could give me the code but second time I tried they said this phone is NOT Unlockable so someone help ME!!!

When you say those sites ... which ones do you mean? Do you know of any that's TRUSTABLE and reliable? because I have read lots of bad stuff about HTCCode and CellUnlocker is way too expensive and I don't even know if its reliable.
And yes I wish I could whip that ***** but I got the phone for a good deal and I don't think that I will ever see her again lol
All the ROM flashing, unbranding, and rooting procedures out there should never be able to unlock the SIM for you.
AT&T makes you wait several months after the purchase of their phones before they provide unlock codes for them. That's their policy.
If you want to go with a paid service, some have had luck with a place like FastGSM (www.fastgsm.com/en), so you can always check that out. Paid services usually charge something between $30 and $50 (U.S.D.).
There is supposedly a simlock calculator application for Windows out there that works for HTC and Sony Ericsson phones (http://youtu.be/DsBKpTLZMrA). If you're willing to risk going through the hoops in order to try downloading the .EXE, you can try it out (http://simlockcalculators.net78.net/?p=24). Just be sure to use an email account you don't care about and anti-virus scan the heck out of any downloaded files afterwards.
The davinci team is good too

Hmm FastGsm kinda looks legit so I will snoop around there but that Calc is FAKE lol i tried it about a day ago or so and it made me waste one of my tries but thnx for tryin tho!
OK just letting everyone know that I got my phone unlocked .... I used Unlocking.com and it took exactly a week and 30 dollars so ya. Thanks for trying to help everyone!
wouldnt flashing any new generic firmware gett rid of anything ATT on the phone?
I was told "NO". You cant do anything with sim lock other than pay for the code and get it ... no other way around it.
Can you tel me is there any way to understand is device new or factory refurbished ?
I bought it in ebay but when I recieved item I suspect that it is refurbished. So I want to find it out.

As far as I know, no.
You can call motorola and ask them. They will be able to tell you.

unlikely, you bought it off ebay so it's likely used, even so you've used it already since you've had it. Only way I can see if motorola can tell you since the IMEI would have been registered to another motoblur account before.
Thank you for your answers

And how I can check it? Only call to Motorola?
I always though it was odd that this phone didn't have a total call timer. Every previous cell phone I ever had had that...
I chated with motorola support yesterday. They can't help too. The only thing that thay can provide me is MSN number ohh and warranty period. These things you can find in their site by yourself.
They advise to ask all detailed information in the store where you bought the item. It's impossible for me.
So the only one way is trust to your seller ))))
What does it matter along as it looks new and runs well with a good warranty?

No, Samsung can tell from the IMEI if your device is still under warranty, so dont worry about receipts or place of purchase.

Thanks guys anyone know how long the repair will take?
If samsung it will only take 1 hour, i sent them a burnt motherboard (samsung galaxy note) and they fixed it in 3 hours
Depends if they have the parts available....where i live it took them 15 days to get the screen i asked them to repair......
I need my device unlocked like in the next few hours.does anymore know of any where that I can buy a unlock code and receive the unlock instantly or in 2-3 hrs once purchased? Please any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks In advance!!!

Can someone find an unlock method for Spint S9+?
i will be willing to test on a device either s9 or s9+ sprint i can get to combination and enable the communication to the modem from *#0808# but the communication fails due to not having access tried to read MSL didn't work not supported for this model yet ive been trying to figure out how to communicate through the ril and send AT commands to the phone but haven't made any progress if someone can give any advice on how to proceed would be helpful. I doubt the actual programming method is gonna be released as i cant even find the method to unlock s6 sprint with commands but maybe some dev out there wants to share some information .
I would like to know if there's a way to unlock the Sprint s9+ as well
I've got a s9+ I'm wanting to unlock to use on any carrier! Anyone succeed in the process yet that wouldn't mind guiding me through it

I looked i believe that's only for unlock code phones not sprint i went through the process it says that it would cost $39.99 and i don't think it will actually work because they have everything automated on there site i don't think its working. If someone try's it let me know if im wrong.

Wait, you have to wait on him until middle of june or your not gonna try until middle of june? I feel like he might not have solution and just waiting for the boxes to figure it out. But for sure let us know how it went like if you noticed he flashed eng_root or combination firmware any information will be useful.

Dang that sucks. i found another company they have for $200 https://www.imeigurus.com/s9-s9-plus-sprint-remote-usb-app-unlock
Also i learned why boxes have not come out with solution one of the team members at gcprokey said that sprint is using a RSA encrypted system and no one has solution yet.
So if anyone knows what there doing mabye you know what to look for.
J727P/J327P U3 use same encryption so mabye we can unlock same method with NV items but the problem is we cant get msl code with z3x.

I agree but it should actually be free but all the teams behind the boxes are focus on credit phones because that's were there making money at they don't want to put a lot of work in for a feature they don't make money on. That's why its up to us to figure out the solution
