Can't unlock AT&T Play
Just go the AT&T play, and can't unlock the bootloader using the instructions on here nor on the official sonyericson instructions. Basically, can't get into fastboot mode at all, using search button and usb plugin as instructed.

There are two dudes on there forums that can do the bootloader unlock. I think its like $24usd. I'm gonna do mine payday (Friday). Pretty sure once you unlock the bootloader, the root should be easy. Look in the general section those dudes are in there.

Can he also do AT&T?

yes he can, he just did it for me last night. Was fast and easy, he even helped root it and answered any other questions i had.

Do i have to physically send the phone?
I am new to android (jumping off the iphone train) but i was under the impression that it wouldn't be hard to root the device myself.
I'm hoping to be quickly corrected here.

You don't have to send your phone. You install a few software needed for him to remotely do all the stuff in front of your eyes. And you open the back cover of the phone, link two points with a paper clip or something like that. A lot of people have done it and I haven't seen a single complaint (except for some people who think this is a ripoff and want it free).
The problem is that there are a few versions of "lock", carrier sim-lock, locked bootloader, not being able to use fastboot. But this method unlocks everything in a few minutes.

Jinx13 also does bootloader unlocking for like 15 bucks

I plan on picking up my phone tomorrow.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys

I have PMed Alejandrissimo and I am hoping this phones bootloader can be unlocked. I have AT&T Xperia Play(R800At) and the bloatware is killing me(and lack of freedom). Phone is brand new & it will be a shame to have to return for Atrix. I will pay the money as long as future updates dont re-lock bootloader, sim, & take root from me & I dont have to keep paying.

I have an R800at that he unlocked yesterday. Also got root going and will remove bloat this weekend. He can certainly help you out.

[Diag Mode] Reading NV memory for unlock code

Hey guys I unlocked mine using software unlock. It did a temp root then changed the unlock code to "00000000".
I paid to get it unlocked with the tool.
I want to start a thread that everyone does memory scan and dumps. That way we can try to start
Unlocking our Devices free. Now I can't do one on mine since its pointless since mine was made into 0's.
For those of you who have unlocked it already and k ow your unlock code or are wanting to unlock it I encourage to do a memory scan and a dump.
Now I suggest using CDMA workshop or using QXDM to scan the memory.
You are going to look for it both in hex and plain text.
Type *#7284# and select USB – Modem
Type *#9090# and select [1] USB4. Exit service menu and turn your phone off by pressing power button then reboot.
I will post the drivers in another post.

Also installed the samsung drivers from the link qxdm and qpst.
When I connected my phone, it installed several new drivers on Windows. However it couldn't find one driver for device Android ?
Also I'm new to all this I don't know how to use QXDM, can you post a step by step guide for it? Also once I'm done, should I set back USB to PDA (on *#7284#) ?

We can just call TMobile and get the unlock code for free.Not understanding the reason for this.

Is it safe to get the phone unlocked this way ? This way its a little cheaper. But I wanted to know, if it involves changing IMEI or somethin (not legal?)

Sounds like you are missing the ADB driver. What I have done to get the adb driver to load properly, is to plug phone in and make sure I get the "typical usb" message in phone. Disconnect cable and reboot phone. Reconnect cable and see if windows loads more drivers. Those would be the "adb " drivers.
I have adb on my PC's which does download Google drivers as well.

Hey guys sorry for the no replies. I am currently on vacation on a lake in North Carolina and the wife complains when I try to get on the laptop lol.
The point is to try to understand where in the Memory the Lock code is stored.
That way we don't have to visit sites and request unlock codes both paid and free.
That way we can do it ourselves.
And about the Android Driver he is right. Im about 99% sure you are missing the adb drivers.
Thank you all for helping out. As soon as I get back I am going to connect and try to see if I can find my unlock code which was reset to 0's.
And yes its safe and permanent when you make it all 0's.
Well back to vacation.
Again thanks to all for helping while I am away

Waiting for the free unlock code too. If you can figure out, please post it. Have a nice vacation.

To find the address location of lock code.

This seems like its a similar process to the galaxy s 4g. on that phone you would create a memory backup up file through terminal emulator using some commands. i would make a .bak file that you would scan with a hex editor on the pc...

i can't seem to find a damn craQ'd working version of cdma workshop for SH*T ! - and if I do, setup doesn't run at all just says "Lisence needed to run setup!" -- anywho, has anyone CONFIRMED this working yet? finding your own lock code?

If any one out there had their phone unlocked by a code and willing to share phone's NV items through QCN file (please remove sim before extracting QCN), I can compare them to my locked version and see what items are affected.
Please DO NOT POST your QCN files here instead go to text tab in QCN view and copy all content except address 550 and send it me.
Thanks.

[Q] sim unlock back to stock?

hello guys i would appreciate some help and feedback with my problem,i just purchased a t-999 from swappa.com the thing is that it has aokp installed which i like alot but i use at&t and want to unlock my phone so i can use it with at&t ,i am going to purchase my unlock code from cellunlocker which i have done in the past with several phones my question being do i have to return to stock to unlock the phone or do i just need a stock rom ?
i have searched various threads here but have not run across my answer any help in this would be very much appreciated ,
and if any of you know a better way than an internet site to unlock this phone can you plz share thanks

wow no one,ppl must not unlock there phone that much.
well for anyone with the same question yes you can unlock your phone with aokp or any other rom with the unlock code,so it doesnt have to be a stock rom like i originally thought. hope this helps some one

If you call your tmobile and ask for the sim unlock code they will give it to you. Best way to unlock your phone and not risk voiding warranty.

[Q] Help Unlock!

My current sghm919 is on stock rom that has been backedup/restored, and factory resetted. I've already followed the xda sim unlock method and it worked perfectly--for my first phone. This Tmo S4 fails to unlock after restoring the golden backup. I've tried 2 other stock S4s with this similar problem. Any viable suggestions?

have you paid your phone in full? If so, ask T-Mobile for an unlock code.

This is what you are looking for. Use this on stock kernel, works on any TW ROM with stock kernel.

[Request] Port of the "X-Note" ROM built for the international NOTE4

I wanted to request any of the developers for our phone to port over a ROM made by soloilmeglio for the international variant of Note 4. The ROM is called X-Note and can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-x-note-build-1-0-nj4-t2935625.
The developer (soloilmeglio) seems to be well regarded and it looks like the ROM has been crammed with a ton of features. It would be nice if we could get it for our phone also.

You are probably better off contacting the developer and working with him to test and see if he would port it over. Good luck, looks like a great rom.

Yea I suppose if nobody steps up I'll take a shot at it myself. I'm not a developer but I did some research online and various guides teach that you need to replace about 3 folders in the system directory to port a ROM.
I was just hoping that one of the devs would at least acknowledge this thread and take my request into consideration....

I'd also be willing to test. I've never developed before, but I've been flashing for about 3 years now, so I'm moderate experience in testing.

To op if it the same principal as the note 2 which it probably is the international version is pretty hard to port att is the easiest.I'm still debating on the note or nexus 6 if I get the note I will help out some.

I read a few people from the T-mobile phone discussing porting in the thread. I had the note 2 before this phone but don't remember such a discussion. Would you mind linking a thread where people talk about difficulties porting an international version ROM?

Just wanted to update you that i am working on this. I have it booting and everything is working with a couple of workarounds. I had to import the apn file from our stock rom to get lte and data working right. I am trying to fix the prl and profile update. I also have hangouts crashing whic i am working on. I reached out to the developer of the rom because i want his permission before i post it.

I'm actually not going to post it yet. I spoke to the developer and we are going to bring it to sprint hopefully next week. If it doesn't happen I will post what I have so far. Profile and prl update don't work. LTE and data work but you have to bring APN from old ROM. Was never able to send MMS, not sure about receiving.

Sent from my SM-N910P using XDA Free mobile app

If all you want right now is the Sprint system update then I can do that as long as you have the original dev's permission to port and post it in our Sprint forum. If you already have data working then upload it to AFH or similar an PM me a link. But if im not mistaken, international phones lack a lot (if not all) of the necessary code/files necessary that reside in settings, jars & framework. Ill know right away if i peek inside just one file. If it lacks the necessary code/files then you might as well forget it because it would be like spending $3,000 to replace the transmission in your $500 Hyundai. Not worth it in that case.

I had the port working but data wasn't great. Only had 3g in certain places. APN wouldn't stick if you select LTE. I think it had to do with the profile not updating, so that might fix data. I'm actually getting a new phone this week because of a major lag issue so I stopped working on it. I spoke to the developer. He said he would help but has been unresponsive this week. I can wait till you release your next rim. You did a good job on the stock ROM. I wish I didn't have a hardware issue.
