I Ordered MDAIII from T-Mobile , I didnt get yet but can some one help me with unlocking this phone . Is it posible to unlock this phone to use other GSM Networks. Will unlocking of extended ROM do the trick which I found in some other topic in this forum .
10x in advanced
Should come unlocked but it will be in German.
I got the MDAIII on T-Mobile in the UK and had to pay £15 for them to give me an unlock code.
AAARGGHHHH! - Unlocking T-Mobile (UK) MDA III Sim
Bought this device earlier this month. Can anyone help provide the unlocking sequence cause T-Mobile certainly can't! They say they can provide the unlocking code (eventually) but not the sequence, and to get it I have to contact the device manufacturer! I`m travelling to the USA in 1 weeks time and want to use a T-Mobile USA SIM card whilst there. :x
What do you mean by sequence.
T-Mobile gave me an unlock code - I put my O2 SIM card into the MDAIII and it asked for the unlock code - I entered it. It is now unlocked and works with my O2 SIM
Hmmm, never having unlocked a SIM card before I am going by T-Mobile's advice that there is a specific sequence of key stroke entries that need to be followed before I get to the screen that asks for the code. From what you say it might be no more difficult than taking out the UK SIM card, replacing it with the USA SIM card, a screen appears asking for the unlock code which I enter, and hey presto - job done!
Have I read this right? Is this all you do?
Yes, you are right. It is as simple as that.
MDAIII unlock code availability
Who or where at T-Mobile UK can a SIM unlock code be purchased for 15 pounds? I just got my MDAIII from the Oxford Street retail store but need to use it in areas overseas without T-Mobile service.
Thanks...
I telephoned CS and they gave me the unlock code
italian Rom for xda III
Has anyone an italian rom for XDA III?
Thank you

O2 XDA2s lock
I got my xda2s a week ago and when i called O2 they told me that there is no way i can unlock my phone before the 12month contract ends!
That is really annoying,but they told me its part of my contract agreement!(which i haven't seen mentioned anywhere...)
I need to use it in another network over the christmas, so if there is any other way i can get this unlock code you are talking about, or any software that takes away the lock PLEASE share it.
I really appreciate it.
George
It may be worth ring O2 again. It seems to me that it's the luck of the draw whether you get someone in customer services who
a. gives you the unlock code immediately
b. charges you for an unlock code and unlocks it immediately
c. tells you it can't be done until the end of the first 12 months of your contract.
T Mobile Unlocking
I recieved my MDA III Yesterday :lol:
I phoned T mobile straight away on 150 (from the handset) they were very helpful and told me they are happy to unlock it :lol: :lol:
but I had to have the contract for 1 month
only 30 days to go :wink:

georkal woudl you please tell me exactly-
Which customer service number you have called?
How can you tell them to unlock the phone? (I hv Voda Sim? I go overseas?)
Thanks a lot indeed
I'm glad you got it sorted georkal.
It's always been like this with O2, I wonder what there 'official' policy is supposed to be? Everyone who calls them seems to get a different answer.
o2 - no help at all!
Hi there,
I have tried O2 a number of times, and each time I come across the same problem - if you aren't an 02 customer, then no unblock for you.
Does anyone have any advice on how to get this thing unblocked?
Tony
Phone your own provider. I'm on T-Mobile and had to pay £15 to get it unlocked.
I spoke to O2 Cust Service 202 many times......
(1)bring it to shop they will unlock for ya
(2)impossible
(3)not until 12 months later
Keep calling - 02 will give the unlock eventually.
I just told them that I was travelling to the US and wanted to connect to a different network while I was there. My unlock code is in the post right now - can't wait!

Hi iam trying to sim unlock my Tilt 2 from att. But I don't have a non att sim card. I was wondering if anyone had a extra non att sim card around, or knows how to get one. Will pay for shipping if wanted.

bought a tmobile sm-n900t note 3 for a Christmas present and come to find out there is money owed on it, its NOT STOLEN!!!. I have no tmobile sim card either. is there a sim UNLOCK program I can use or can I do a phone unlock or use a root program? if this helps it runs android version 4.4.2...... build number??? n900tuvucnb4....I didn't want to use tmobile for service as I have everyone on h20 service. but when I took it in the guy said it had to have a sim unlock code hence the reasons I ask about programs. thank you for your help....happy new year!!!
So long story short I can't figure this one out... I have a spare line (Tmobile) with truly unlimited data and I'd like to use it in a tablet. I have been told it's (impossible) by a tmobile store. This is the same store that told me I can't teather past 5gb until I told him I'm rooted and custom. I'd love to get a galaxy tab s on my unlimited data! Please advise.
P.S XDA is Awsome!!!
I have the TabS 8.4 T707 for AT&T. The tablet is SIM locked to AT&T but you can contact them for the unlock code if you paid full price for it. I bought mine from BestBuy and it took about two weeks for AT&T to get the unlock code to me. It was a big pain to get that code.
I'm using mine for international travel and it registers on the networks. Just check which LTE bands Tmobile uses.
Also, the tablet is on sale right now for $380 at BB.

Hi Lochniss,
How can you get ATT to provide you the unlock code? I tried device unlock request and ATTMobilitycare, and both said that the unlock code is not available.
I also bought the TabS from Bestbuy and unable to unlock it.
Regards.
Vrance Lam
vrance - I had to go through the "AT&T Chairman’s Office of Executive Escalations (ERT) team". I don't know if you can call 611 and ask for them??? I came into contact with them when I filled a BBB complaint stating ATT did not unlock my unsubsidized mobile device. I was rejected a couple of times but did not give up. Finally the person with ERT had Samsung USA contact Samsung Korea to get the code. I cannot understand why ATT does not have the code, but it blows my mind that Samsung Korea has it.
For everyone reading this... please be courteous and patient with these guys. They did not set up the ATT system nor do they have the solutions at their fingertips. As I am doing with the community, just guide them to the answer.... good luck.
There's much easier way if you have an active ATT account (phone account is OK). Just insert your ATT sim into your tab s, give it a few hours until ATT system update your phone information (you should be able to see tab s as your new phone in your online account page). By this time, your imei is in ATT database, you should now be able to request your unlock code thru their online system. It took less than 24hrs for me to get mine.

Hi Xiaonan80, thanks for your advice. Will try that route. Do u know if ATT prepaid SIM card is ok to let the IMEI is in the ATT database? I am not a ATT customer, but can try buying a prepaid SIM to try it out.

It depends on the plan you get from T-Mobile. There is are two things you need to do before trying to unlock it. Once you get your phone check the following:
1. Check your T-Mobile folders if there is the Device Unlock App installed (by default it should be installed on your phone).
2. Check your phone's IMEI in the T-Mobile database by using their service here: https://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx
If your phones have the app and are not blocked it means that they are eligible, so you should be able to unlock them and even use a service like here: https://www.unlockunit.com/unlock-samsung-galaxy-s9-062472
hi, what is the difference between SM-G9650, SM-G965S, SM-G965K, SM-G965L, SM-G9658, SM-G9659, SM-G965U, SM-G965W, SM-G965P, SM-G965T, SM-G965V, SM-G965A, SM-G9600, SM-G960S, SM-G960K, SM-G960L, SM-G9608, SM-G9609, SM-G960U, SM-G960W, SM-G960P, SM-G960T, SM-G960V, SM-G960A, SM-G965F, SM-G960F, SM-G965FD, SM-G960FD, SM-G965N, SM-G960N, SM-G960R, SM-G960R4, SM-G960R6, SM-G960R7, SM-G960T1, SM-G960W8, SM-G965AZ, SM-G965D, SM-G965J, SM-G965L, SM-G965K, SM-G965W8 for sim unlocking ? which one is easier to unlock?
As a policy, the device can be unlocked with the T-Mobile Device Unlock app 40 days after you activate the device for the first time and if the device is paid in full. To activate the device, the SIM card must be inserted into the phone and be active in the device for 72 hours for it to register in T-Mobile's system.
If the device is not paid in full or if you do not want to wait the full 40 days, you can pay for the device to be unlocked remotely through Android SIM Unlock or similar websites. http://www.androidsimunlock.com/phone-unlocking-service/tmobile-device-unlock-app-official-unlock/
Just make sure you're choosing the Device Unlock service since a standard SIM unlock service will not work since you are not able to insert a SIM unlock code into the phone.

Same.
What is the proper procedure to unlock an att s9 to use with another carrier?
The process is basically the same as any other smartphone. Buy an unlock code (this should work for you http://www.androidsimunlock.com/unlock-phone/samsung/galaxy-s9/), insert a SIM card from another service provider, this will prompt the SIM unlock screen, enter the code your purchased and the phone will be unlocked.
wait for few days. some developer will develop customer rome for samsung galaxy s9 then root your mobile and flash it and you mobile will be unlocked. s8 custom rom are available.
SamKey.Info supported directly unlock via usb cable !

Don't waste money on this website it's a scam i tried and my phone is still sim locked
T-Mobile S9+
So I purchased this phone from T-Mobile, and tried to switch to sprint. I had it unlocked but they still couldn't pry the phone. It seemed to have only unlocked it to AT&T. Has anyone else home through this or know how to fix this issue?
You can get any S9 or S9+ variant unlocked through Ebay including Sprint:
https://m.ebay.com/itm/SPRINT-SAMSU...?_trksid=p3984.m1561.l2649&_mwBanner=1&_rdt=1
Also can do Bad IMEI devices also. Look through items for other carriers. 100%guarantee.

Be very careful that it has a clean IMEI. If it's a stolen phone then you have a nice expensive paperweight.
You really want someone to do a search for you?

If your buy your Samsung galaxy S9 or S9 plus from t-mobile and want to use at&t after unlocking, then you have to use the t-mobile device unlock app to unlock your phone. This is the only option to unlock your t-mobile Samsung S9 or S9+. Only phones purchased from other than t-mobile or metropcs usa can be unlocked using unlock code.
You need open the t-mobile device unlock app and select the permanent unlock option to proceed. you will get unlock successful message and it is unlocked. if you are getting the message "Unlock Failed: This mobile wireless device is not eligible for unlock. For Device Unlock eligibility details, please go online or contact Customer Care." then you have to submit your request for unlocking to any third party unlocking service.
You can can use the below links to submit your request to unlock your Samsung galaxy S9 or S9+ through t-mobile device unlock app
unlock samsung galaxy s9
unlock samsung galaxu s9+
https://www.samsungsimunlock.com/sam...y-s9.htm#model service didn't work for t-mobile.. got the successful unlock message but didn't work with at&t sim.. waste of $13

Doubt that you will get very far with a Blacklisted IMEI...
Do you know why it's Blacklisted?
