I was looking into this last night. I thought it would be easy but seems I was wrong.
How is it that, if you have root, you cant just delete all files connected with the sim lock. Or, if you install a custom rom, wouldn't that just overwrite all the lock crap???
Try it and see if it works. My guess would be no... You'll probably need to contact your operator and tell them to unlock it for you.
there is a way to sim unlock galaxy s. isnt it possible to use that method for galaxy nexus?

The simlock isn't store on the OS. Its in a non voltatile section of the radio - the same place that holds unique information like your phone serial number (IMEI) etc.
You need to use one of those online services who obtain it with a service center contract directly from samsung.

my phone is stock and didnt root yet. Is there any suggestions, how can i solve this?
Thanx in advance.

I'm confused. I thought all Nexus phones come unlocked. Or are there different definitions of "unlocked" ?
Hi
I have an IMEI unlock codes server, and I can provide unlock codes for all Samsung phones locked on European networks.
All models are compatible, even the most recent.
The unlock by imei don't make you loose your warranty, and it's permanent.
It's the easiest way to unlock your phone.
All you have to do is power on your phone with an unaccented sim card, type the provided unlock code, and the phone will be unlocked for ever.
The only info that I need is the IMEI of the phone. (type *#06# to see the IMEI)
And the model of the phone.
Delivery time: half hour normally.

I just unlocked my Gnex with the help of this guy and it worked like a charm. Legit and took less than 30 mins
Thanks again
Well:
There are unlock codes, depending on the carrier you're locked to.
There's application for temporary unlock and permanent unlock, but you'll loose your IMEI on permanent unlock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548210.
There's my not very well tested method for perm unlock with IMEI intact: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606982
Yes, it's not easy for now. But we're getting there.

So how does one check which carrier/ country the device is locked to?
I have to specify the country+carrier to get an unlock code, but how can I tell?

Hey guys,
So I got the SGH-I747M from Bell Canada today, its supposed to be the exact same asthe AT&T one hardware wise but some slight software difference I guess.
Anyways, when I try to use *#7465625# to check my network lock status the code doesn't even work to view the Personalization Status, I remember reading on the international forum section a few people had this as well and someone else posted a different code that does the same thing, but I can't seem to find it anywhere when trying to search, does anyone know what the alternate code is to check? or if perhaps the fact that the first code doesn't work means the phone wasn't locked to begin with at all?
Thanks.

Anyone have any idea?
So far my best guess is that my phone wasn't locked to begin with if the code doesn't work, anyone else with Bell or other Telus/Rogers phones able to use the code, does it work, does it not?
Yeah, tried doing the same thing does not work comes up with "Connection Problem or Invalid MMI Code"
I plan to unlock my phone via cellunlocker but I do not have a SIM card to force to the unlock network screen

I've actually been working on getting the lock status code working on my NA variant S3, I've gotten as far as actually being able to load the lock status Page but no information on what is or isn't locked because of how our NA models are not the same as the international model in regaurds to the nv data bin files.
I haven't said anything about it until now as I didn't want to get anyone's hopes up as I don't get much time to work on this. So it could be some time before I have any good results if any. I'm still a newbie as far as being an android dev.

if code does not pull up page you cannot assume phone is unlocked that is poor logic. even unlocked the page should pull up, perhaps with a different code. unlocked phones in the us can still pull up that page.
I would like to know this also. I just sim unlocked mine and would like to know if it worked.And dont have another sim to try?
According cellunlocker.net, the code does not display the lock information on the NA versions of the S3. You have to use a non-"insert carrier name" sim in order to see if the phone is locked and then enter the unlock key. I got mine from cellunlocker.net; cut my used Tesco sim to a micro-sim and boom it worked.
Code doesn't work on At&ts GS3 as well. I unlocked mine yesterday after at&t gave me the unlock code...but only way to check it is by using a different sim.

I got this phone as a gift from my sister using her upgrade. Its maybe 40 something days old....(the phone) ....Ive heard if you're in good standing with At&t (ie: always paid your bill on time...pay over $100 on your monthly bill)...you're treated better maybe? Idk. I just called 611 and asked "may i please have the unlock code for my device"....I answered their security questions and made small talk.. "hows your day going"....mins later......"heres your unlock code"...

My Experience
I used cellunlocker and got an unlock code last week and ordered a T-Mobile sim card ($0.99) which came today. After some careful cutting (I ordered a full size sim card) I inserted the T-Mobile Sim and the S3 booted to an "enter unlock code" menu. I entered it in and was able to immediately access T-Mobile.
I get the same "Connection Problem or Invalid MMI Code" when I try to check but I know it works because I was on the T-Mobile network. Somehow I my text messages and call history for today only were erased so you might want to back up that data before you try it out. Pretty easy process overall.

No.
I mean people have unlocked at&t Lumia 900s. At least they posted pictures of them running on other networks but no I don't think the OP with only 2 posts is the person that found a reliable third party to unlock the at&t Lumia 900. It's possible... but highly unlikely. I will wait for pictures.

No, not really. But if it does turn out to be legit, and run $50, and take 17 days...it's not worth it since they should be unlocked on Oct 8th for free at at&t.

I've found in the past if you are on contract and have your phone for a reasonable amount of time (8 months) they will unlock it for you if you have a reason (traveling overseas). To be honest I've only done it once and they didn't give me any hassle.

8 months seems long, it's only 90 days on T-Mobile. I'd guess they are around the same timeframe, unless it's an iPhone they may be more strict.
Thank you for your attention friends.
I realize that in fact, there are no certainties. just guesses, and frustrations can occur in October, note that there is nothing official and I've noticed AT&T based on Iphones, they do what they want. Soon will launch Windows Phone with Windows 8 and if AT&T follow only what they say, that the devices will only be eligible for unlock only when the contracts are fulfilled, only in 2 years, the Lumias 900 there will have become weights of paper.
At&t is 90 days as well. Must be post paid and account in good standing.

Lumia 900 ATT unlocked!
Hello! I've followed for a long time the thread named "Recommended website to unlock Lumia 900 (AT&T)" and I've tried also some of these websites without any luck until TODAY \o/
I've used Unlock Liberty and passed my order on july the 29th and I was about to call and ask a refund but after talking to one of the guy working on Unlock Liberty, he told me that some code may take up to 4 weeks to get it. Well it took more than that obvisouly but I fanilly got it.
I got the Lumia 900 from my parents when they were visiting LOs Angeles ( I live in France, but one of my brother lives in Los Angeles and have an att account, that's how I could get one). I didn't at first I wasn't able to unlock it, it's after visiting this forum and reading the thread above that I realised I may be scr*wed.
I even tried 3 days ago to call AT&T and explaining my case (present from my parents, and not beeing able to use it in France with my current carrier), she asked my my IMEI number and told me that her computer was saying that there is no unlock code for this phone yet, they will be released October the 10th, so she said the best I could do right now is to wait for this date and call again then!
Well, I'm glad I don't have to wait that long anymore
I know it's my first post here so you might think I am not trustworthy (plus I am french so my english is not perfect so sorry for the mistakes), but I am posting a picture of my unlocked ATT Lumia 900 and I can even take other pictures and post them as well if you want me to show you that it is not a picture I've taken from another website

Thank you for using Unlock Liberty.
We will appreciate it if you leave us feedback comment on our testimonials page.
What I found weird was that they gave me 4 eight digits code... i've only used the first one of the 4 they gave me and it worked immediately, I didn't had to enter the other 3 eight digits code...
Anyway, since October the 10th is coming quite soon now, I don't think it is usefull to use one of this site anymore, since it is taking very long to get the code (or maybe they have some now, so it might go faster).
Well, maybe the thread saying that ALL these websites are scam etc should be corrected Plus it's full of false informations (stuff like ATT has no intention to give unlock code ever...).
If you have any questions, I'll be glad to answer them
Good luck!

It seems phones bought 2nd hand or refurbished are not being unlocked. They show up as eligible in the at&t system, but code not found when it comes down to it.
The same thing happened to me. I do not believe that problem is second-hand or refurbished unit I think the devices to which this occurs has not yet 6 months contract. I'm hoping that's it.
I managed to unlock 3 devices one was mine and two other relatives, had no problems. Just needed to unlock one more.
When I went to the last, was not found unlock code.
I'll wait a few days and try again, but I'm upset with this problem.
Another thing I noticed is that the device was not to find the unlock code has a special feature, the box has an inscription that had not in others.
The MPN is written on the box: 9375319 V2.1 81-X
This entry does not appear in other devices I could unlock. Coincidence?
mr
even if its used, i think it can be unlocked..yes i bought it from ebay..but im sure its original, used but refresh...please i need a hlep. i love this lumia!!
Can't unlock phone as well
I've been trying to unlock my nokia luma since october 8th. I opened up three cases with AT&T and only one came back with an unlock code. I tried the unlock code and it's wrong!

Nopes. Event AT&T customer care is not able to unlock the phone. They simply dont have the technical capability to unlock the phones if the code is not working.
Has anyone found a solution when the code is not found? I have tried sellers on ebay and AT&T, but neither are able to find any unlock code.
I have finally found a seller that provided a code! jose70blue on ebay. You have to use up all the 10 attempts, then when it tells you to use the PUK code, and 32 attempts, the provided code worked like a charm on the first try!
Can somebody confirm this actually works because I have 3 attempts left and don't want to screw my mobile.
Thanks for the update.

Tesco phones are a **** to unlock. If you have pay monthly with them can get it done for free. Can request on Teco Mobile website. If not then - see below is copy and paste from Tesco Mobile website;
Paying to unlock your phone
We don’t charge you to unlock pay as you go phones over 12 months old. If you’ve got a pay as you go phone less than 12 months old, you’ll need to pay £10.
To pay, just top-up the Tesco Mobile number you gave to us and we’ll take the £10 payment from the SIM card within 24 hours. If you need one, you can request a free Tesco Mobile SIM then call 4444 free to top-up.

I figured that'd be the case. Thanks. First time I've had to obtain one and actually got it. Their customer support is not so great. They acted like I was asking for the impossible and continued to tell me it is unlocked. I said dude it says it is locked to you! I know the bootloader is I guess nearly impossible to unlock. Apparently only dev editions can be unlocked. Surely they have the tools do such. Not sure if I'll get a Motorola again. It's basically owning something you don't fully own.

I did have a little Moto X XT1060 I think? I think it might have been a dev edition. Was a pretty good phone. Most of those (non carrier branded) won't be sold in retail stores I wouldn't imagine so I guess you have to buy online? I have purchased unlocked phones on Ebay. I was just in a jam for this one and got it from Wal-Mart and on top of that it had a sorry 14-day return policy. That is asinine.

Not if it's a Verizon branded device.

Hi I have an art locked phone (found in the e-waste container with puffy battery ordered new battery works 100% fine)
Yet art refuses to send a bootloader unlock code because the whatever period is not passed or something isn't paid off idk.
Can I unlock the bootloader or at least remove the SIM lock somehow so I can use it with my mint SIM?
Thanks

nah dude, unless you can hack the bootloader, you're pretty much stuck there. The problem is the key is generated by a program on their end, so unless you get access to this program( literally impossible) or hack the bootloader you can't access it. Its like if they gave you a pad lock without the key. You would have to look through the lock mechanism and trick it into opening, but there is probably some issues along if you can even achieve this

I think too
Hi
so finally att sent me an unlock code.
i can't however unlock the bootloader. not even via https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b where if i inspect the page and make the "get my code" button appear it drops me to a 404 otherwise i copypaste the requested code (including #s) it says "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking." the phone has att logo on it and at boot the att logo pops up too. but why can i put in now other sim, but can't upload another firmware? makes no sense.
is there a way to unlock bootloader somehow nowadays?
the phone also powers up to fastboot which i can't seem to fix either.
thanks
no test point? no "hack"? i'm stuck with att branded software? what a garbage...
