Unlock Motorola Droid Pro

Hello everybody,
I'm currently thinking about to import the Pro to Germany. But the phone is only available at Verizon. Those phones are locked. If I am right, the lock is for SIM cards, because Verizon operates w/o SIM cards, correct?! I found some unlock companies over the net, but noone is able to unlock the Pro from Verizon.
How is the lock removalble? This is not software based, so that rooting the phone and flashing a custom ROM will not help?! Only the method by entering the correct code?! So I have to check for unlocked phones, which are really expensive... Or is that SIM lock only for US Networks and in Germany it would work?!
Thanks for help.

You simply call Verizon and tell them you're going to spend some extended time in Europe and you want the ability to unlock the phone and change out the SIM card so you can use the phone as a local phone without all the charges, etc. They'll then tell you that you won't have the Verizon guarantee of service, etc., if you remove the SIM card while overseas. But the cost savings is definitely worth it.
Interestingly, I didn't actually "unlock" my phone as I've done with Blackberries in the past. They gave me a code to use when and if I ever insert a foreign SIM card in the phone. At that time, it will prompt me for the unlock code.

I've been using mine for 2 weeks now in Portugal, I bought it on eBay and I believe that the seller got the code straight from Verizon. No issues so far, although the coverage is poor IMO. Other than that, I wish the battery could last a bit longer, but I'm already used to having to charge it every night.

I am living in Germany and would like to import this phone too, but I dont know where to buy it? I dont want to buy anything on eBay!
Thanks in advance

So can you provide the site that got it unlocked for you?

Unlocking / subsidy code
Yes, please let us know where you got the unlock code. I'll buy you a beer next time I'm in Munich

this man can do it

What is the process for entering the unlock code? Do I need a non-Verizon SIM card in there?

yes, you need a non-Verizon SIM card

I personally recommend this guy SwiftUnlock for your Motorola Droid Pro. He got me the unlock code in no time. Now everything is working perfectly on my Motorola Droid Pro. Using it in Mumbai, India on GSM + EDGE

Why EDGE only? Are you not getting 3G speeds?

Hey man. Can you tell me the format of the unlock code? I don't need the unlock code itself, just its length, numerals only or alphanumeric, etc...

Are you creating an app that generates unlock codes for Verizon Droid Pro?

I wish! No, I'm getting a Pro off eBay and the seller has already mailed me what he claims is the unlock code. I wanted to make sure he did not just send me a bogus number.

Using it on Sprint network in the US?
I have been desperately wanting to get my hands on an android based physical keyboard candy bar phone for a long time. I finally found this amazing phone and am wondering if this can be used with sprint in the US. I am not willing to change carriers and if that is the case I will just have to wait for another one of the same type to be available on sprint. Sad is the case! Please let me know if using this phone on sprint is possible.
Thanks

[q] how to unlock xperia x10a using usb?

Hi there,
I have been looking to unlock my Rogers sony ericsson xperia x10a so I can send it to a friend in another country for over a month.
I havent been successful using the sim unlocking code systems. I have tried three different websites.
So now Im just looking to use usb unlocking. its better if it de-brands the phone also so i can use the latest software update and not the one rogers provides.
Please help me with this. thanks

Unlocking will not debrand or visa versa. They are completely different. Use the Flash Tool to debrand, which is free. I don't know of any way to unlock yourself with usb. I think you need the code, which costs money.

I'm in the same boat. I have no problem with paying the money, but the 3 different brick and mortar places I've used can't unlock the phone, and the 5+ online sites that say that they can give me an unlock code, return my money and say that it's not possible.
Is there any way of unlocking this phone at all?

Thanks forbthe info. I dont mind if I have to pay or not. I paid all prices starting from 11.50 to 49.99 to get the unlocking key from unlocking websites but they all returned my money after one or two days saying they dont have this phones unlocking key.
I called se they said they cant give me the code. I should contact my service provider.(rogers) which I did and they wouldnt give it to me since the contract I have with them isnt done yet.
One of the websites told me the only option remaining is the usb. So thats y I tried loooking it up and couldnt find anything. But there are some youtube clips showing how to unlock itbwith usb, however there is no link or info.
Im tired

I know that I have seen threads on unlocking Rogers here on xda X10 forum. Keep searching.

there is a guy called lancez who unlock X10 here in the forum, comments from other users sounds nice, but he unlocks ATT, I don't know about Rogers
send a PM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852119

After a certain amount of time (18 mo. for me with att contract) they will provide the unlock code for free. Only think is you need a non carrier sim card. In USA that means T-mobile, cost of sim card $10. Just did it today. Insert non ATT sim, then unlock screen, then phone prompts for unlock code > network unlock. Att store showed me his screen on how to unlock, it was Rogers, same procedure.

I paid 6$ to unlock my rogers x10, went on Ebay, dont remember the name but it took 6hres to get code, I'll try to fin it for you.

Yea I actually just unlocked an Atrix today. Called ATT customer support line and hit 0 a lot, got a guy on the phone and said I bought this phone, not in contract, out of exclusivity period and dont have an ATT account, can I get the code to unlock it so that I can use it where I want to...he took about 5 minutes and got me the code.
Phone is on a Tmobile network in my friend's hands right now.
I wouldn't pay some site online and give them your IMEI number. Just seems sketchy to me.

Yeah as people said just call AT&T why pay when they will do it for free, when my friend sent me my Atrix i had to call them from the UK To get it unlocked and it was pretty simple and painless

I did, i called at&t but he said he cant give the code and that i must let the person who bought the mobile ask the for the code..i bought this mobile from someone in Lebanon ..any hacking way to unlock it? I tried the unlocking sites they sent me code but none of them worked..can any call at&t for me plz and try to get me the code? I will be verry thankfull..thank u
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

You got lucky that AT&T gave you the code without you being their customer.
I tried it in the past with Verizon and they basically told me to bug off.
The general rule is that they give out unlock codes only to their customers after a couple of months since phone release date.
No contract phones at full price already come unlocked, so that excuse rarely works.
Anyway, some people still get lucky and get the code, but the majority isn't. It all depends on generosity of the customer rep.
I unlocked all my phones through online services, and there is nothing shady in your imei being requested, since the unlock codes get generated based on imei. AT&T will ask for you're imei as well in order to get the phone unlocked.

Agreed.
As to the OP's question of "is there a hack?", I assume that there is not. Those providing codes are likely paying insiders for some private key.
To the OP, why did the person you buy the phone from not get it unlocked? If he was an ATT customer who was in Lebanon it would have been a no-brainer to do such. And it would be free. I have had no issue at all unlocking my last 3 ATT phones (via ATT) so that I could travel internationally.
Think perhaps he might not be the rightfull owner?
I really do not like the entire "locked phone" concept, but given that it exists one should know how to avoid pitfalls. Do not buy locked phones from 3rd parties unless you know what you are doing.

Yea its th first time that i buy a locked fone..i loved the atrix thats why i bought it..neway thank i guyss..

3uk default unlocked

This may already be common knowledge, whilst playing about with my 3uk s3 in preparation for using a dual sim adapter on it, I discovered it was network unlocked from new, nice suprise as I was looking at paying £15 plus to get an unlock code for it

Where did you purchse your phone and is there any 3 branding on it?
If you bought it from somewhere like Phones4u it will be unlocked and accept your 3 sim because most of the phones they supply are unlocked.
If you bought from a 3 phone shop and it has 3 branding on it , then it will be locked to 3 network.
there is a simple unlock method floating about which i used to unlock mine

Yeh that's why it's locked 3 supplied it you you. Doesn't help now but in future if you want a chance of getting a unlocked phone buy/ upgrade from somewhere like phones4u or onestopphoneshop.
As I said there's a simple completely free permanent sim unlock method on xda which is what I'm using

I per ordered my blue handset from 3 and got it quite early on. It's unlocked and un branded I think the first few batches they sent out were straight from Samsung and they had no time to change them to the 3 branded software what with the delays.
I don't know this for certain but it's my two pence.

Best advice you can get on XDA is to check Ebay, Just make sure to check reviews on each seller.

Hi there,
The cost depends on the network on which the phone is locked and how fast you want the code. At least these are the factors considered when my suppliers offer codes.

Just an update. I tried using the unlock device app on wifi but it said it couldn't connect to server. Then I put in a tmobile sim. Still wouldnt unlock. Found a Verizon Sim and unlocked successfully. Weird...
