Hey guys so I switched my T-Mobile account to att today and got a Sim for my rooted T-Mobile note 2. It doesn't work without a Sim unlock code and I didn't know this. So what is the best way to get one or can I just DL a att baseband or something or what do I do?

I ran across this and it is just the opposite (ATT to Tmobile) but maybe it will give you some ideas or help in some way. Its all I have.

Hey guys, I have a Telus LG IQ (GW825) which is the same as the LG Monaco, I'm looking to get it unlocked and willing to donate $50 to anyone who can unlock it.
Thanks
Ditto. I can get codes, but cannot find instructions. So, we're half way there.
If you want to unlock it, either put in a non Telus sim or goto the dialpad and enter the following 2945#*825# and you should get the unlock screen.

That does not work (2945#*825#) for this model or the Chocolate BL40. Anyone know?
I've even tried 2945#*40# for the BL40. These Telus phones do not pull up a menu when this sequence is entered.
These work for all other networks like Rogers and ATT with no problems.

Did you use ORIGINAL SIM Card that the phone comes with?
Yes, we've tried, with, without and non-accepted sim.
Have you unlocked these before?
What method did you use for Telus LG IQ?
One of the members on lg-expo.com has an octopusbox and was able to unlock his with it ... little more than $50 though
cant post links apparently ;( ... visit lg-expo.com and see the sim programming set thread under tips-and-tricks
i have a telus lg iq and th eunlock screen comes up when i put in a rogers sim.
I just got my Telus IQ unlocked at Pacific Mall from one of the cell phone unlocking vendors.
I am using it with Rogers SIM card now.
If you are in GTA(Greater Toronto Area), I would suggest you check this vendor out.
GOSU Mobile Solutions - Unit A22 @ Pacific Mall.

First you'll have to get it unlocked. From there you simply need to set your APNs to the carrier you're using the phone with.
The *free* unlock method doesn't work once you've updated your bootloaders (from JB). That being said, you can ask your carrier for the unlock code for your phone (worth a shot).
Sim unlocking is an easy problem to solve by getting a code. A bigger problem is enabling AWS on KK.
yeah the Sim unlock I'll pay and get it done thats no issue. the real problem is the aws. Is there any work around I can use?

I've been keeping my eye on that forum for a while, I was waiting for a permanent fix.
Hey guys anyone have done this already and can recommend me a reputable source to by or unlock my At&T note 4? I want to pass it on to my dad to use on Metro PCS. Please any help appreciated, thanks.:good:
Below are 3 sources I am thinking to try one of them:

Uhm, no, it isn't?
I used imei-unlocker, which seems to be the lowest price of anything else I've seen. The code they sent worked fine for me. I used the 1-3 days option, so it took some time, but others who used the higher priced tier got their unlock code in 15 minutes or so.
Great thanks Lesmaleinad. Are you referencing the APP on the PLAYSTORE or the website?
http://www.imei-unlocker.com/
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.servtified.imei_unlocker&hl=en
Theres also this video linking to another what seems to be valid place. Ill give that one a try:

From my experience you just need a Note 4 that came from a AT&T Corporate owned store. I run Cricket and haven't had to unlock my device, my wife's, or my brothers for them to work on Cricket.
This might be a dumb question. But when you unlock this way and use on a service like straight talk, do you still receive OTA updates?

No you will not. You need ATT Sim/Service to have it up to 5.01 or later if ATT release new OTA update

So, I can just borrow a buddy's SIM and I should be good to go?
I bought an unlock code on eBay for $20 I believe for my wife's att note 4 to use on t mobile. Worked like a charm.

ALso want to add I went with the ebay code and it was provided after a few days and worked perfectly.
Hey guys, dont post here very often but i read the threads often looking for root. My issue is that i have an AT&T note 4 with a straight talk sim in it (the AT&T one). When i got the phone it was on 4.4.4 and i put my sim in it and it worked. No unlocking issues or anything. Seemed odd to me but whatever... What i want to do is upgrade to 5.1.1 from 4.4.4, however i do not want to lose my unlock. Does anyone have any info on this? Can it be done? Thanks in advance for any and all information that can or will be provided.
Straight talk
Feel free to update your note, it is not unlocked. Straight talk use the same antennas and network as att and the phone will continue to work regardless of the Android version you are running.
Just purchased my wife a note 4 off clist that was on att running 5.1.1 All I did was put in the straight talk sim and set network settings and was good to go. Enjoy.
Thanks!

It sure did. Used odin and stock 5.1.1 firmware that i found here on XDA. It had 4 md5 files that went to corresponding spots within Odin. Worked famously.
Guys,
I got a Sprint Note 10+ from one of my friend who was leaving for good to a diferent country. He is on Sprint. I am on AT&T. What's the process to flash this to make it work like a Note 10+ on AT&T?

Sure hope he got Sprint to unlock it for you before he left. Because if not, you'll have fun getting it to accept your att sim card.
If the unlock is done already you should be able to factory reset and insert your sim card and it should detect and customize for att settings.

He didn't. Any one that can provide unlock codes for a reasonable price?

Moving across the globe won't prevent your friend from getting a hold of Sprint and requesting the device to be unlocked.
Try getting in touch with him and ask him to take care of it. As long as the device qualifies for unlocking with Sprint then this shouldn't be an issue.

Is the phone network/sim unlocked? If it is then the process on how to do this has been covered indepth already. Be aware though that some features will only be provisioned to phone's that AT&T sells (they determine this by an IMEI whitelist). This also has been discussed extensively on the forum.
If your phone is not sim/network unlocked then you will be wasting your time as it will only work on the Sprint network. At this point get a hold of your friend who gave you the phone and ask him to get a hold of Sprint. Your friend will need to ask Sprint to unlock the phone, provided the phone qualifies to be network/sim unlocked by Sprint.
