I want to buy a Samsung Focus, but i'll have to unlock it in order to use it abroad.
Does it always work? I don't want to find out my phone is the one Samsung Focus that won't unlock.
lol... they all unlock... its just a code. make sure you use a credible unlocking service. there are a few posted in the unlocking thread.
Thanks!
And what happens if I first unlock the device and then install and SD-card? will it stay unlocked?
unlocks are permenant, it will not relock.

You can unlock the samsung Focus easily,You can use the unlock code to unlock it...To get the unlock code you can visit the site Prounlocking.com buy the code and unlock it..Then you can use it any GSM Sim card in abroad.
Yup you can do that easily by getting unlock codes

hey,
when I purchased the Samsung Focus phone,
it had SIM Lock on it , which I unlocked by
using the UNLOCK PIN ..
want to know if it will get re-locked after WP7 Update . . .
Thanks !
If you got the unlock code once, I would think it would be able to unlocked again if the update relocked you.
I've been watching a few blogs on the update topics, I have not seen anything about sim-relocking yet.
But keep in mind, it seems that not that many people have been sim unlocked, you might be in the minority of Samsung Focus users!
If you do the update, let us know your results.
if you are talking the network unlock...no updates wont re lock it. unless you put the correct diag code then enter the unlock code it wont re lock.... now sim lock is different that is a code that locks the use of a sim card unless a 4 digit code is entered... if you disabled it, it wont come back unless you enable it again...
The unlock codes are not as hard to come by anymore. Lots of different websites and people even on ebay. I used Fastgsm but if it re-locks. oh well. Doubt it will though from what other users have said of other phones
I unlocked the phone using the code from ebay NCK ZONE ...
since NODO is out, wanna know if installing NODO will re-lock my phone...

Hi pal, it will not.
sim unlocked.
Installed nodo yesterday.
Still sim unlocked.
By chance can you tell me if you are getting a Roaming Triangle?
Do you have a focus from Rogers (paid to have it unlocked) using it with another provider?
Thx

Hi, i am italian and i would know how to unlock Motorola Atrix.
The only way is through by the unlock code? have you any reliable site to recommend? is there a way to get it for free?
if i will use rom or firmware update, the phone will be locked again?
Thanks
From my personal experience: AT&T has an exclusive agreement with Motorola until August 22 and they do not have unlock codes. I bought one from "cellunlock" for $20 (50% off the list price with coupon). Worked fine.
How many unlock codes do I need? I see motorola droid 2 global (that is working in Verizon/GSM) but it required to get unlock code when GSM sim card was installed.
Do I need to unlock GSM and 3G separately?
No No...there are many ways to UNLOCK the PHONE from Network lock,UNLOCK CODE is best....You can get the Unlock code from here
Onlinegsmunlock.com and Unlock it from Network Lock....Then you can use with any GSM Network Sim card......Firmware is not easy process.Also i haven't used that.....
Sup all...
Simple enough question. I've spent many days doing searches here in XDA and google but haven't been able to find a clear answer. Or maybe I didn't look hard enough or understand the responses to others questions regarding this topic.
I recently got an S4 (i337m) from Telus. From what I understand, this is the Canadian model (jfltecan). I am not sure if it is unlocked or not however. I know that I should just use a sim from a dif carrier to test, but I don't have access to one at the moment. No one I know has a micro sim that is with a carrier I could use to test with.
I've installed TWRP and flashed Slimbean and afterward I flashed Paranoidandroid roms successfully if that is some sort of indication as to the lock/unlock state of the phone.
So is there any other way to tell? Is there a method of unlocking this phone other than using the *#0011# method or similar methods that I've tried and do not work. Is an Odin method available?
Thanks
If you got it from Telus, directly, 99.99% it's locked
The only way to confirm is by popping in a SIM from another carrier.
I think it depends on how u buy the device. I think if you get the phone on a contract, its locked, but i think if you purchase the device for full price, it should be unlocked. That's atleast how i think it works.
You are most likely sim locked. There is no Odin method to unlock. You should really just buy a code to unlock. Be very careful using the free unlock methods. After a number of attempts the phone will lock itself so you'll never be able to unlock. Others have also messed up their phones trying it.
Buy a code or even safer, FastGSM.com USB cable method to unlock
I am also on telus, if this works like the s3 unlock you need to be on the stock Rom, can be rooted but must be stock.check the s4 thread to be sure though. You can go back to the custom Rom after you unlock and the phone should still be unlocked
Your phone's boot loader is unlocked. Meaning we can install a custom recovery and install a custom ROM very easily. Your phone is Sim locked if you bought it from telus. This means you cannot insert a Sim card in your phone unless its telus. Any other carrier will not work. You can unlock your phone through Telus. They have restrictions on this however. You're better off buying an unlock code off the internet. Its fast and most likely cheaper and no it does not void warranty. Hope this helps
Thanks!
Just wanted to thank everyone for the replies/info.
My phone was sim locked. I did the easy method of purchasing an unlock code from a local shop here. All is good. I can use the phone on any supported GSM carrier and I am able to flash custom roms and what not.
Thanks again to all for the info. Much appreciated and it helped me increase my understanding on this topic.

So I have a p10 plus that I had on Rogers. Unfortunately I never sim unlocked it before moving to bell. I now would like to give it to my son but he is on Freedom Mobile. So first thing is to sim unlock.
Second, he wants it because supposedly it can be made into a dual sim. To do so, he needs to unlock bootloader as well. So from what I read, the only way to get it is using DC-unlocker.
Can DC-unlocker do both jobs? If so, how many credits do I have to buy? If not, what are my best options.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I've tried the secret phone codes in google but unfortunately, they don't work anymore. I was wondering if there are any new ways.

Are you talking about SIM unlock or bootloader unlock?

SIM unlock, bro.
If this is your phone then you can ask AT&T to unlock it for you:

If not then look around eBay for sellers who specifically target this device; they can provide you with an unlock code for a small fee.
