Could some one tell me. If I rooted my X10, I can also remove the sim lock in this phone?

Nope. 'Rooting' your phone doesn't unlock it. It's completely different. Rooting your X10 would allow you to do more with your phone as a Super user. Unlocking your phone just sets you free from your carrier so you can use your phone with other carriers. Hope this helps

I've never sim unlocked a phone before, is it possible to unlock the Atrix so I can use it on T-Mobiles edge network?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Everything is possible. But not this time.
Wait until the official Root procedure be published first. Then it may be a way to unlock the phone.
Or if you are lucky enough, then you may get the unlock code directly from AT&T.
Would they really give me the unlock code?

So my provider (rogers) uses the same bands as ATT.... would the atrix work with 3g.... or would it still need to be unlocked, and is that possible yet?
Thx

From what I hear the phone is restricted to what kind of sims it will read and needs to be unlocked so that I can use it in europe. Is there any way I can do that by myself following some instructions or do I have to take it somewhere?
Please help

You need to unlock the phone, not the sim. Call T mobile and ask for an ublock code.

Hi guys I have one question that maybe was already asked here,so I am sorry if I am asking stupid questions.. Anyway, I want to give my galaxy s to my brother but we are not using the same network, and my phone is locked to my network. So how safe is phone unlocking ? what is the procedure for unlocking the phone and is it shortening phones' life? Also,my brother will be using it in another country...Thanks in advance!

I've never had a problem unlocking a phone.
Just buy an unlock code online. Check eBay first.
After you have the unlock code, give the phone to your brother and when. He inserts his SIM card, he will be asked for an unlock code. Once he enters it, he can use the phone...

Interesting, I thought it was much more complicated than that.. I am in Serbia now using Vip mobile, my brother will use it on Vodaphone Malta, you think that there would be no problems if I buy code from uk ebay? Is it than unlocked for every other network in the Europe? Thanks

Just make sure that your brother's network is compatible. (AKA he uses a SIM card and that the network specs are compatible) and you should be fine...

Ok,but how should I know if they are compatible? What should I check first?

Ok so here's the deal. I know after root, unlocking the mt4g is simple. The root method i use always unlocks the phone.
But the thing is my friend wich bought a mytouch 4g locked lives in another country and is without root, and she's illiterate when it comes to windows and commands so having her root it is out of the question...
Is there any way to have it unlocked, or find out the unlock code without having to be rooted?
Any help would be much appreciated.

just remote access her computer and do it for her. or call t-mobile give them the IMEI number and they'll send you the code.
Yea, you can use an app like TeamViewer or such and root it from your pc.

Deal with it!

yeah, i agree with calling tmobile. its a lot safer that way.
I thought of that but internet in dominican republic is hell a slow. I just ended up paying for an unlock code cause i dont have enough time in tmobile to request it. Thanks anyway guys. This thread can close now.

hey everyone, my brother just bought a mt4g and it was rooted (running miui). he wants to use it on simple mobile but just sticking a sim in there wouldnt work.
I have an epic 4g and know that its best to have the phone on stock (or at least stock rom) when trying to activate it, but i had problmes getting it back to stock.
is there anything fancy i gotta do first to get it to work? he hasnt actually bought the simple mobile sim card yet but he tried a friends and it didnt work. do i have to unlock it or something?
This phone takes a particular SIM card. We get posts on here all the time saying SIMs don't work. When they compare the contact surfaces of one that works to the one that doesn't the difference is obvious. Tell simple what phone you have and ask if it takes a special SIM.
