Ok so here's a question.
I have a Rooted with Indigo Bean Legend on the Bell Network.
If I want to use that phone on the FIDO network, I put in my sim card and it asks for a password.
.I thought if it was rooted, then it was automatically "unlocked " to different carriers. I can buy a password and am willing to unlock it myself, but is that what I need to do, and will that mess up any of the rooting that's done?
Rooting doesn't unlock the phone. So yeah you'll have to use an unlock code.

Using an unlock code will permanently unlock the phone to be used on any carrier. Rooting does not unlock the phone.

I doubt it will mess with your rooting, I used cellunlock.net along with coupon code crackb50 to get my unlock code, cost me $10 (down from $20) but unfortunately, they increased it to $30, so now after 50% off, it's $15.

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?

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

Look at it this way: I've never unlocked a phone in my life, not even my brothers iTouch. Not because I didn't know how, just because I never needed to. It is stupidly easy, unless you have issues following simple instructions.
two options:
1. call tmobile for the unlock code
2. perform ultimate s=off root (do a search should come right up)
not too hard to do if you follow the instructions
Awesome, I intended to root it anyways.
Thanks!

Yes using the ./Gfree method will unlock the sim but before you root that way make sure you have the "good" emmc chip as a lot of phones have randomly been becoming bricks using ./Gfree
You can read about it and how to check your phone if you have the "good" or "bad" chip. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079025

make sure you're inserting the sim properly
As far as I know the my touch 4G (unlocked) will work on att's network but will not be able to use the 3G service because T mobile uses a different frequency for its 3g nand
Yea in the video for installing gfree the guy said you would not get 4g or 3g. If you went with AT&T.
This may be dumb question, but why unlock the MyTouch4G when you can just get the Inspire for AT&T? It's similar spec-wise with a larger screen and will get HSPA+.

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.
I am my mom's "little elitest"
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.

Hi, I plan to switch over from att to tmobile's 30 dollar, unlimited plan (because i have 200 mb of data for 15 dollars a month on att) and my phone is running 4.2.2 UCUAMF3, should i revert back to an older version and unlock it via hidden menu options in phone menu or what?
please help! thank you!
You cannot downgrade, just buy an unlock code.

You can also call up AT&T and see if they'll give you an unlock code. They gave me codes for my phone and my wife's phone before we went out of the country on vacation.
Is there a way to enter the code by entering # commands instead of putting another SIM in the phone?

hi, what number should i call?
Is there an easy method to SIM unlock this phone without dongrading to froyo or rooting? This phone is kicking my ass. And without paying for an unlock code. TMobile wants me to insert a SIM card for seven days before they Will give me a code.
