Until a non-remote solution is finished, you can use Alejandrissimo's remote solution.

Isnt it like cheating your carrier??
If I buys a motorola droid which is at&t locked and I change my country paying the first month bill, and unlock the device can AT&T do anything to me?

I am answering you from my r800x running CyanogenMod9. Yeah, it's safe. And yes, you must unlock your bootloader.
How can I unlock the boot loader for free?

[Q] SIM Unkocked after update? - Please answer :)

Hi everybody! My Note II is coming for me tomorrow, from England to Brazil, it is sim-unlocked.
But I have a (maybe a noob) doubt about updates - Via Kies or ODIN:
I am sure that the Big Baby Note II will receive the update to enable multi-windows coming directly from BTU - As the firmware I suppose will be BTU Unbranded.
But, after the update, it will still be sim-unlocked? And if it locks again, there's an safe method to sim-unlock again? Hypothetical speaking, if it locks again.
I never had an imported device, and here in Brazil all devices comes unlocked from factory - It's a Law.
Someone could, please, answer my doubts, or even indicate some safe method to unlock it - Hope I will not need this - Just in case, and as I didn't found any thread here talking about this subject.
Thanks!
If you bought an unlocked phone, it will be forever.
I've never heard of a carrier who forces a lock on your SIM free phone. That'd be wrong.
So don't worry.

Not without unlock currently. Which, if you were unlocked i would assume you'd have already rooted. Sad to say there isn't anything for those that didn't get the unlock while it was available on day 1.
Not at the moment unfortunately.

dont buy a phone you wouldnt want to run stock. Most people see that as a difficult idea to grasp, but whatever. if you ABSOLUTELY NEED ROOT TO FUNCTION, this is not the phone for you right now

and I totally understand. But there are like 8 threads about root, and they all have the same answer right now, and theres even a donations thread and someone who you can pay to s-off your phone.
It's getting a little nuts with these new root threads when the answer is - no, you can't root (well, bootloader unlock) right now. I mean it's literally on the front pages of the forum for this device.

Sorry.

Just torrent the FoxFi app full version. You need to install a certificate which means you have to enable the lockscreen on your phone...but whatevs. Works for me.
Idk how i did it....but i use foxfi hotspot without lock screen pattern...which i remember it required me to have 0_o

If you can live without your phone for a few days, send it to Sonic and he'll give you s-off... costs about $30. I did it, worth the money.

Once you have s-off, you can unlock your bootloader and also get root.
Check out the thread, it's well worth the time.

no, with a view like this, I'm happy using a phone that doesnt have root yet, instead of mindlessly saying 'durrrr I hate sense, but I bought this phone anyway'

Check the last few pages of the unlock thread in general section. Couple of people mentioned a cheap place that unlocked their T999L.

Good luck with it. Alternatively, if you're taking a trip out of the country, T-Mobile may give you the unlock code. They're not always quick about it though.

Try this tutorial but you may have to change your ROM. Let me know how it goes. If it works up my thanks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsL7Wqpqzy8
The op is trying to unlock a different device. And I have to be honest, the free unlock we have is much easier to do. Plus its free!
This could help those with the T999L/T999N, but you left out very important information. Such as the website you have to go to, how much does it cost, who does it?

I get what your saying but I was trying to help as best as I could. I just went to google and used the I am feeling lucky button and that is what popped up.
I don't even know how to unlock phone's myself.
Yeah my s3 was unlocked using that method but the xperia zl is a pain in the @$$ but thanks again guys

Just a quick piece of advice....when doing anything to these type devices, never use that feeling lucky junk from Google. If you're really lucky you won't add yourself to long list of bricks that were caused by doing this.
