About 10 days ago, I fully paid off my tablet from T-Mobile. When I did this, I requested that it be carrier unlocked. I was provided a code which turned out to be incorrect. I tried the code 3 times thinking I had mistyped it, but after the 3rd try it rebooted and began asking for a PUK, essentially permanently carrier locking it. I tried SIM cards from AT&T and Sprint with their respective PUK codes which also failed. T-Mobile support tried 4 different PUK's, none of which worked.
T-Mobile agreed to replace the tablet since I still have a warranty. I got the replacement and asked for the unlock code again. Now, they're claiming they don't have it, and in the email that is sent with unlock instructions along with the unlock code it says "No Unlock Code Found". After informing them of this, they're now saying they have to request it from Samsung directly, and that was 2 days ago.
Has anyone had to go through all of this? Am I being jerked around or is it just plain ignorance? I've even tried a few places online to get a code, but none have been able to. Can I contact Samsung myself to get the code? This has been going on for 10 days now...
I went through the exact same issue all the way down to getting a replacement device and then being told they do not have the unlock code and that they were going to contact Samsung on my behalf which they did and have not heard back from them Samsung told me they will not do it

Can anybody help me to unlock Motorola Q9H from AT&T?
I bought it through Ebay and when I tried to call AT&T customer service, they would not give me the subsidy code, because the IMEI# is not attached to my account.
I already tried Ebay and the code that they gave me did not work.
Do XDA-developer have a software to unlock it?
well i got my code from a seller in ebay (blowfish unlocks) and that one worked... since is just $2.69 i believe this is the best option, specially if you live abroad like me.
Attach the IMEI to your account. Call cust. service and tell them you have switched phones. Once it is added tell them you are traveling and you need the unlock code. I dont know why they did not just add the line to your account and be done with it, i have done this a few times now, and it has never been an issue. Hope this helps...

Hi,
I have a locked (to AT&T) Motorola Atrix.
I ordered an unlock code from an online service. For some reason, there was no option to choose the model as Motorola Atrix (MB860) but only as Atrix 2 (MB865).
Can I use the code I received for the Atrix 2 on Motorla atrix (MB860)?
Thanks!
no it will not work each model of phone has its own network lock code the site you purchased it from will most likely give you a refund though

i am so sorry i was reading another post and and repied to yours. but each network has a lock code i have tmobile and my mytouch 3g and 4g both used the same code so i would think every network has a lock code not every phone try it it wont hurt nothing it just wont work if its not the correct code
code search
just trying to find out does anybody have the codes to unlock the Motorola Atrix 2? i am new to this and i know it sounds like an old question, but would really appreciate it thank you .
Hi I bought a unlock code of eBay for about $1.88, I got the code within 3 days. Have a eBay search

Don't think it work correctly.
If it works, it hasn't been reported stolen so you might be alright.

My brother just bought a GSIII off of craigs list for $450, went into T-mobile and got a new micro sim and he was unable to activate it. T-mobile's reasoning? The previous owner purchased the phone on the value plan and has not paid the phone off.....so they will not activate the phone....period. So, he had to either give the phone back, or pay the rest of the phone off. He could have avoided this by simply calling up T-mobile and asking them to check the IMEI number and that he was thinking of buying the phone. They can check if it's stolen or hasn't been paid off yet.

Doing that won't stop it from being reported stolen later though if the seller really has it cut out for you. Someone here bought one and went two months before it was blocked.

Hello, I live in the US and would like to buy an exynos s9 for the unlockable bootloader.
I would like to know if anyone has a bought a phone from the seller sobeonline1 or never-msrp.
I am seeing that a lot of people have exynos phones and cannot unlock the bootloader, and I would to know if anyone can confirm that these sellers are offering a version that at least has OEM unlock after 7 days.
Thank you in advance,
Almunt
I bought from never-msrp. Yes, it is bootloader unlockable. But don't forget you will lose Samsung pay forever. But! They sell Egypt versions, which means no SPay out of box. So I needed to install Russian firmware and boot it up with Russian sim card to make it work. Anyway, if you don't care about SPay, you can unlock bootloader as soon as you get your phone. Btw, discover cards don't work with international SPay. So kind of useless.

Also, my partner has s9 on snapdragon, it has much better signal (t-mobile), especially 4g - Internet speed much faster ( like twice), same with wifi speed. Also the interface is faster and smother overall

I don't think I will be using S-Pay as I plan to unlock the bootloader as soon as I can. I am leaning towards soleonline1 right now because they currently have a lower price. Is the call dropping issue that people with exynos phones are reporting appearing on T-Mobile? It seems like the issue might be only occurring on phones with certain carriers.
I bought mine from sobeonline1. CSC is XSG. I'm at 150h uptime hopefully it'll pop up. I kept SIM in and didn't reboot just in case.

I would just like a confirmation. Do you see the oem-unlock setting on your phone when you first got it? Also what was the condition of the phone when you received it? Some of the feedback seems to be reporting that a used phone was sent.

My OEM unlock just showed up after 7 days. I did factory reset, SIM in, Samsung and Google account registered, and didn't have a need to reboot so I didn't. I took the most cautious route because I wanted to make sure I have OEM unlock before my return period expires.
As I said before I purchased from sobeonline1. I picked it because it was cheaper than never-msrp. It seems to be sealed but it is weird that out of the box the phone booted up to home screen instead of setup screen. I have no complaints though since there is no sign of use.
I would like to provide an update. I ended up buying the phone from never-msrp and I received an AFG csc phone. The phone was completely sealed and showed no signs of use once it turned on. I received it on a Friday and the next Friday it got the oem-unlock setting about a half hour after 168 hours since being turned on. During the week up to oem-unlock I updated the phone and turned it off and on multiple times. I did not have to change the csc and I did not reset the phone during that time.

Nobody should care about pay. Yea maybe it's cool, especially in f.exp. in russia to check out 2kg of grečka and prosciuto with a phone but is it really that cool to do it everytime it's not even reliable as card, even credit card is not accepted everywhere nor as dead unfailing as cash

This what everyone should do. Applaud. Spit into carriers face back. If the law doesn't protect you (things like this must be illegal, but not in the murica freedomland)
I am on Verizon Wireless. My wife has the Motorola Moto Z Droid, and their is a known battery issue with the phone. The only way she can use her phone is if it is connected to the wall. So her friend gave her, her Verizon Note 8. However, upon testing it is suspended. Is there anyway to get around this such as new firmware, rom, etc? I wouldn't even mind taking over the payment's, but i'm not sure if that can happen.
Thanks in advanced.
EDIT: The Verizon Galaxy Note 8, that was given to us, is suspended from Verizon's network due to not making payments (i believe) is there anyway I can get it activated on my plan? When I check the IMEI on swappa, it claims that it is clean. However, when i tried to activate the device on my account it said it was suspended. I am trying to figure out if there is anyway to get around this..?
What?

yes, a carrier can make it inactive until payments resume. its like being put on silent.

its the same thing as when a car note payment or payments aren't payed as agreed, they attempt repossession but in the case, they suspended until payment agreement or plan is resumed. best just to call and face the music. I have found that when you seemingly face the issue, they just want an attempt for you to contact them, hence the outcome is better than any legal ramifications. I assure you that attempting to switch carriers with throw a flag because current carrier must release you first then all else will work out
Verizon suspended acct
Call Verizon and tell them you bought the phone from a pawn shop but are unable to activate it and see what they say. maybe they can take the lock off for you. Doesn't hurt to try. All they can say is no.

that's very sad and wrong for someone to present a smartphone because they got suspended, and it sounds like a sad ethical issue more than technical. only until prior carrier lifts the suspension will it become able to activate enough to get it working. Whoever the carrier will need to lift it first. Its the same thing as putting a BOOT on a tire for parking tickets.

i had an overseas account breach my cable tv acct and slapped 6000.00 of iphoneXs in my account, and all were SUSPENDED, virtually unable to transmit data or activate. The fbi investigated and caught them. my issue was a breach, this issue here is easier to resolve and hopeful OP doesn't have to pay to lift suspension.
