huh? i need to unlock to use my att sim.
Good luck and post back if you find someone who can help you. I have called T-Mo three times now and they do not even have the codes available to them yet for the G2. I was told it could be 2-4 weeks before they are available directly from T-Mo.

that sucks, ok, thanks.
[MOD_EDIT]
^ thanks. guess they are out there. but im not a tmobile customer.
I just bought one in ebay and the seller will get the unlock **** for me
more discussion about G2 unlocking here:

A senior moderator on XDA should merge "HTC Vision"/ "HTC Desire Z" and "Tmobile G2" into 1 category. What makes it more confusing is that originally the G2 is referred to the HTC hero.... lol

I got my code from T-mo. If the service rep tells you that the G2 is not in the system yet, suggest that he make the request with another phone (ex. G1) and write in the notes field that the phone is a G2. HTC is the one that actually processes the request. I received my code in about 24 hours (on a weekend, no less).

I have been unlocking all of my phones from T-Mobile directly for the past few years. I personally have never had any issues, and I travel overseas quite frequently.
Although I've read some horror stories on here, I'm just glad I haven't had to experience anything of the sort!

If you root it you can turn off the sim-lock, in other words, unlock your phone no need for an unlock code.

I used this guys method:
hxxp://g2hacks.com/g2-hacks/how-to-root-g2-phone/
The Wiki instructions and his instructions are similar to begin, but stray from the Wiki once gfree is mentioned.
I'm rooted, but not unlocked, which I need to be. Can I install gfree for unlock? Would there be any conflicts?
Cheers,
Danny
Edit: Sure enough there was instructions a bit farther down the Wiki page that walked me right through. I'm unlocked and blazing around the interwebz at EDGE speeds with AT&T.

We got this G2 through an upgrade with T-mobile. I called T-mobile to get the unlock code 1/23, so I could use this phone with my AT&T plan, and have yet to receive it. ( Not that I need it now anyway )
It recognized my AT&T sim, and my cell service was instant. The data was hesitant to work so I had to manually enter the APN info via settings. Other than that it worked as advertised.
i have tried many places and none of them were able to provide unlock code for AT&T's X10a. but my last hope (the code) came in today and unlocked my X10a right away. am i the first one who has unlocked AT&T's version by code instead of cable?
edit: 12/18/2010
hi, guys
in order to get unlock code i need correct info to be filled out as a note/message, when you make payment at paypal.
please do not PM me with any info, it is very easy to lost track of PMs you are welcome to notify me about your donation though.
1. IMEI and S/N (serial number) under your battery
2. exact model and which network your phone is locked to
3. your XDA ID (to notify you when your code is ready)
4. i can only send code to paypal verified email address, the one when you register/make payment with paypal.
please note, it takes 7-10 days to get code.
thanks
Can you provide more info and/or explain more, thanks.

X10 Unlock
From my side.. it's three weeks that I'm trying to unlock this damn piece of cell phone, but no way.
At first I was quite confident wit cellunlockers.net, but after 10 days they refund my money saying -no way-.
Then I tried mobileincanada.com who where really very fast, they refunded my money after only 40 minutes
Last try with unlocking.com, after 10 days they were still looking for excuses, they did not find any code (on their web site they promise a next day solution!) so I asked for a refund, that they did not want to give me !!!
I opened a debate on paypal and after a couple of days I had my money back, but the cell phone is still locked..
So if anyone has a solution, please help ! AT&T supplies the unlock sequence (for free) only after 90 days from the purchase....
I too am having no luck with my X10 from AT&T so if theres not development I am going to go ahead and sell the phone....
Update: Got it Unlocked from Cellunlocker.net (Cable method)....

There is a 90 day waiting period. And even then, they can use the exclusivity clause and not give you the lock code.

just out of curiosity, have you guys unlocked your AT&T's X10a?
i'm X10a owner and have been trying hard to get a code. fortunately, a friend of mine happen to have THE connection.
you can either get your code or just ignore it.

Agreed. I have tried to get the unlock code for my AT&T X10a for 2 months with no success. Gave Lancez my S/N and IMEI and 10 days later received my unlock code as a PM. Inserted a different SIM card in my phone, entered the code and VOLA..! The phone was network unlocked! No pain, no hassle.
hi developers i am quite new to this site, the reason i join this i want to get the unlock code for my at&t motorola atrix 4g handset so that i can use different sim carriers,i have searched the whole threads still there is not a solution of the problem.Also i have visited different phone threads like htc sensation http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107.Cant this problem be resolved like this,give some suggestion guys.U people are the best i hope someone can come up with a good idea for this problem.Also i have used some other site where they provide unlock code but they give same answers that my code cant be found.Plz developer give a look on this problem.
Hello,
I don't think there is any other way to unlock the atrix besides buying an unlock code. Unlock codes are fairly cheap on ebay, where I got mine. These are the guys that I used http://www.ebay.ca/itm/UNLOCK-CODE-...742?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eb89f6246 .
hope that this helps!
hey i know about the site giving unlock codes ,i have tried cellunlock.net site but they said they cant get me the unlock code so i am confused is it worth trying on other site as i heart cellunlock.net is quite best in its work.Give me a suggestion should i try this on other site.They give this message like this
Hi
We checked the IMEI you provided again and the code is not available for that phone. If you have another phone you would like to unlock, email us the IMEI/Provider and we will try to get the code for that phone.
If not please reply to this email with "REFUND" in the email subject and we will issue refund.
What should i do?
If the phone is on AT&T, call them.
They give out the unlock codes for free as long as your account is in good standing.
The easiest way is to use their online chat support.

i know about this but my AT&T account is less than 1 year so they wont give me,also it is not in good standing too
I have tried everything.Hope someone comes out with a solution of this.

I've been with AT&T for over five years in good standing and they wouldn't give me the code either. Their excuse was that Motorola wouldn't release the codes.
I ended up unlocking mine through cellularunlock. Then went to wwwDOTpsouza4.com/bionic/#root to root.

Cellular unlock works great, pretty fast too. Only option really if you're not in the states. If you have an at &t number online chat supposedly works great.

yeh i have given my order for the unlock code to cellunlocker.net ,on the site u jst have to put imei no and see that ur phone is available in their database.Also they say on there FAQ that if the code is not found on the AT&T database than there r other options to get the code directly from the manufacture,as i put my imei no on the site they say that the code is there in there database,but i dont think they wll be able to provide me through AT&t .I am waiting for there reply if they say they cant get me the code through AT&T i wll go to the manufacture method.Hope my code come this time.
I am skeptical about unlock codes. At first I bought one on ebay it did not work. Then I got one from at&t , it did not work either. I had at&t sim inside while unlocking. I think I blocked the unlock feature by trying too many times.
YES it is possible to enter an unlock code with at&t sim inside if you enter special service code first which bring the unlock menu.
Any thoughts?

obviously it's not if you used this method and none of your codes worked.
This may have changed, but the guy at the at&t store told me a few months ago that once your phone is over six months old you can just call at&t and they will give you the code.

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..

Currently using the AT&T variant with Cricket. The Cricket service is TERRIBLE in my area. But Metro/TMo is strong. Got the phone through a trade and it seems there's a balance from the previous owner so AT&T DOESN'T want to unlock it through their unlock site. Any word on legit unlocking services? Like, put in the IMEI and pay $25 or so for an unlock code when I slap a Metro PCS sim into the phone? There's cellunlocker and unlockradar etc but just curious who has experience with a legit unlocking service online? Thanks.
Thanks for the link! I found one on eBay for $13 that worked like a charm! Back on metro and back in business. Thanks again.
Soooooo much better.
I know it's late, but I bought a second hand S8 AT&T that was also with a debt (previous owner didn't mention it on the listing) and doctorsim.com managed to unlock it anyways
Just for future reference
Thanks! Yeah I may be getting an ATT S7 (found a good deal) for my gf for Christmas so that's a good tip.
I would like to help too if any one need unlock
