I called ATT and gave me my unlock code for my Motorola Atrix. I used a Tmobile sim card, entered the code. And it said Network unlocked successful. So do I need to enter the code every time I use a non-ATT sim or it is unlocked forever?
And if I do an update, would it still be unlocked, or would I need to re-enter the code.
Thanks.
It is permanently unlocked.
Your good to go

I got an 8525 locked to AT&T (I believe) network. When I put in my AT&T sim card, it gives me this message:
SimLock
Network is locked. Please input unlock code.
Do I need to unlock the phone or does it refer to something else?
this is amazing

I guess it's a weird problem, I'm sure the phone was locked to AT&T, maybe my 4yo sim card was the problem (first twas ATT, then Cingular, then ATT again).
Anyway, doesn't matter now as Pof's unlocker http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665 worked like a charm!
I have an 1.3 rev Samsung Focus. It was an unlocked model I got from outside. I was in the US at the time of Mango update and updated my phone with Mango from AT&T. Now I have moved out of the US and want to unlock it. AT&T doesn't have the unlock code because I didnt purchase it from them. Any Ideas on what I can do? Will a custom ROM help me with Unlock? When I check lock status, it is SIM Lock is Disabled, only Network lock is enabled.
I'm not sure what you meant by "It was an unlocked model" in the context of "out of the US and want to unlock it". Was it unlocked or locked? Anyway:
Read the wiki, (carrier) locks are in NVRAM, no relation to flashing whatsoever, so any custom ROM won't SIM unlock your phone.
Have you tried ebay? Unlock is cheap as $1 and it doesn't hurt to try (unlock via IMEI - I unlocked AT&T and Rogers Focuses). If that fails, I recommend fastgsm, I've unlocked my own AT&T Focus with them, via USB (no affiliation).

It was carrier unlocked, as in I could place any sim in the phone and it would work. After I updated it on my Zune with Mango, it was loaded with AT&T's version and hence locked to AT&T. Now AT&T doesn't have the record of the IMEI in their database and aren't able to provide me with an unlock code. They were able to provide the unlock code for my other windows phone that I purchased from AT&T. Thereby lies my predicament. Let me try the ebay version, if not I hope FastGSM works. Thanks.
I was not able to get the unlock code from ebay. But FastGSM seemed to work wonders. I used their USB unlocking tool and it worked just fine. Thanks for the tip.
Called sprint today and asked to sim unlock the s4. they sent some request to my phone UICC unlock. followed instructions and it says its unlocked. i want to use it outside USA on GSM. is that it? it s unlocked?
Sounds like it. You can pop Inna T-Mobile or ATT Sim and if you DONT get "Sim card error" popup then you are unlock internationally.
I ll try and let you know
I have a ATT 930A that I successfully flashed with 930U and it works great. I was thinking of making sure it was SIM unlocked in case later I wanted to sell it, so I made a request of ATT for the unlock code but when I try it it tells me the unlock was unsuccessful. Do I need to go back to 930A to make the code work?
Probably yes
I don't think so. Just put in a non AT&T SIM and it's gonna ask for an unlock code

I did but the code att gave me didn't work.
So did the phone prompt for a SIM unlock code and you typed it in, got an error? What is the error? SIM lock should not change when you flash different ROMs yo the phone.

Yes, after entering the code it says "incorrect network unlock code entered"
I had this problem with my S7. I had paid off my contract however every time I tried input my IMEI number to the AT&T unlock device website it would tell my my IMEI is invalid. i contacted AT&T customer service directly and gave them my informatio. They had to put the case in for the unlock code themselves. Reason was since i didn't finish the 2 years even though i paid off my contract it got lost in the system hope this helps
Soooo I have a N20U via T-Mobile and obtained a Sim Network Unlock code. Tried to use another carrier's sim card to enter the unlock code when prompted and was directed to the Network Unlock in the Mobile Network settings. I chose permanent unlock but T-Mobile wasn't going lol. Denied! Is there not a way around this to sim unlock the phone without going through T-Mobile??
Thanks for the help
