For some time now I've been searching around trying to find out how to get my Focus unlocked and everyone says you need a "NON-ATT" SIM well I say BS!
I found a way to do it even if you have a ATT SIM, this probably has already been found, but I never found anything. I was entering Diagnostic numbers in and it came up, so I figured I'd share!
1. Go to Diagnostic keypad (If you don't know how, google is your friend)
2. Enter *#7465625#
3. Select "Network Lock"
4. Select "Disable"
5. Enter NCK (Get one at cellunlocker.net only about $8 not bad if you don't have one from ATT)
6. Execute
7.Just to make sure go back and select "Lock Status" everything should say "Disabled"

It took 2.5 hours for them to send me the code, but it worked for me.
Before following the process above when I use *#7465625# and choose "Lock Status", it showed me
SIM/USIM Lock: Disabled
Network Lock: Enabled
Network Subset Lock: Disabled
Service Provide Lock: Disabled
Corporae Lock: Disabled
after following the process above, it shows:
SIM/USIM Lock: Disabled
Network Lock: Disabled
Network Subset Lock: Disabled
Service Provide Lock: Disabled
Corporae Lock: Disabled
Thanks ihatemyself
Not a problem jbedoya!

Good info! Got a question. I just got my code, and it has spaces between sets of numbers. Do I keep the spaces, or just enter as a string? TIA!
I dunno, mine came in one string, but im sure if you entered it exactly as you got it, you'll be fine. And if you want to be 100% sure, shoot them an email or call them. I'm sure they'd know!

Damn. I tried it both with spaces and without. The phone restarts when I hit Execute, but it still shows Network enabled. any ideas?

If you tried to enter the unlock code more than 3 times, your code won't work anymore and your phone would needs an unfreeze code. It's different than unlock code.
Also, the unlock code for my Rogers was something like 13593621 and afaik should not contain anything than numbers (spaces, letters)...
It worked!
My Bad. I was trying to put in my IMEI number as well as the code. I hadn't had enough coffee apparently.
Awesome! I'm glad this helped you!

I don't know why you guys pay for the unlock code, I called up AT&T and told them I was going to Europe for a few weeks and they gave me the unlock code right there with no problem for free.
Took less than five minutes on phone with AT&T CSR to get code.

My Tytn locks after a few minutes. I can remember setting this in the beginning, after booting for the 1st time. I want to change the nr of minutes, but I just cant find the program to do so.
Help says I have to use the "windows-settings-personal[tab]-password". But (I have an UK Tytn) its just not there. ANyware...
Where is the password option hidden?
How can I get back that option in the above mentioned window?
I could hardly sleep - so I just went thru all options and its "hidden" behind the WIndows-Settings-[personal-tab]-LOCK icon.
WHen choosing the LOCK, you have to enter the password. I thought it meant that after typing in the password, the device was locked.
But after giving the password, you're able to change the password/timeout settings.
How simple life is sometimes
Windows-HELP is wrong though....
I am looking for the ## codes for the fascinate. I am sure that someone is able to find them. I have searched the web for hours and not found any that will work with the fascinate. I am only looking, because I am sure that just like my incredible I can change the IP settings and use the wifi tethering for free on the fascinate too.
I appreciate any and all help to get these codes.
Have you tried the codes that work on the international I9000, Samsung's first Galaxy S model?
Thanks for the link. I tried about half of those and none of them work. I think their must be a set of codes specific to the CDMA version.
I was able to get a few codes out of a verizon represenative, but not everything.
This code enables the ability to use the second code I got.
*#22745927
you then enter 000000 for the spc
and change to Hiddenmenu Enable and press ok.
the type **772
you then enter 000000 for the spc
This will enable you to manually program the NAM.
Now I just need the code to modify the network settings for the data portion of the phone.

Verizon told me to do *228 option 2 to re-sync roaming towers to get a better signal.
Hi,
I recieved a rogers samsung focus today.
Inserted my bell sim card, and booted. was asked for a code, i entered an unlock code i got and it was accepted.
I can send and receieve calls and text msgs, however i can not get an data on the phone, via web browser, live hotmail, or xbox app.
I accessed the diag app via ##634#, however when i try enter the root menu (*#197328640#) nothing happens
I suspect the issue is the network profile is not set to auto, and rogers manuelly configured the phone with there xml profile.
with the LG wp7 device i was using yesterday i could "SET ADC" :enable" or "set network profile", via the ##634# menu => factory menu => engineer menu => other settings
anyone have any suggestions?
apn
in settings add bells apn and it should work fine, stay out of the diagnostic menu, there shouldn't be anything there to change, I can't remeber where in settings it is but there is a spot to add an apn,
WOW that was pretty easy.
APN location: settings/cellular/add APN
Bell lists the info on their site, for reference the APN settings are;
APN: pda.bell.ca
Proxy server: web.wireless.bell.ca
Port: 80
I've added the APN to the focus and browsing and xbox live work, i wonder if adding the proxy server would make things faster/better signal? and if so, how?
On another note, when i renegotiated my plan last week MMS was added, and i was using it on my LG WP7 Device. How do i change the MMS setting on the focus?
From bell's site;
Enter the following in the Message Centre/MMS gateway field:
MMSC URL: htp://mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc
I'm on Bell and thinking about getting a focus as well.
How is it? Is everything working correctly?
How do you go about getting an unlock code?
1. Go to the phone app
2. Dial ##634# and click Send
3. When prompted for a password type 277634#*#
4. You should now be at "Factory Menu"
5. Choose "Engineer Menu"
6. Choose "Other Setting"
7. Verify that "Set ADC" is set to Enable
8. From the "Other Setting" page, choose "Set network profile"
9. You should now be on the "Set network profile" page and in the bottom half of the window you should see a list of *.xml files. These appear to be the network configuration files.
10. Look at the filenames for the config files and take your best guess at which one to choose for your provider. I'm on AT&T and I fixed the MMS problem by choosing "_PROV_ATT_US_310_410.xml"
After you choose that *.xml profile, your MMS should be working."
The changes they are making are the ones to change the MMS capability as this can be carrier locked – outside of the phone lock/unlock status.

I got my unlock code through a local cellphone shop (gave him the IMBI #), downtown london(ont), not sure where he got it from, seems to have worked.
I can call and recieve text msgs but data is a bit of an issue.
You have to add APN for bell (proxy server would make things speed up unboudtably but no field for it).
It almost feel like you have to push or send a signal for data to turn on / start. usually the first time i try a webpage or bing search it doesn't work, get error " no network or wi-fi"
in terms of phone i like it better then LG optimum bell offers (had it for a week). didn't like the slide out keyboard, typing # was a pain (virtual keyboard pretty got and auto correct awesome). Also, larger screen and significantly lighter. Colours are more vivid as well, green is green not some yellow derivative.
be warned though, many many things that are lacking, january update will be interesting.
*****just tried sending picture txt no luck.....******
------- hopefully someone will figure out how to access the focus profile xml
on a side note:
after many many speedtests in London, Ont, and Hamilton,Ont; DL speed on bell caped at 3 mbps. (tests were on both LG optimum and SAMSUNG Focus)
I suspect that the $10 fee, Bell will be introducing in the next few weeks shale be to increase speed beyond this.

##634# on a focus brings up a different menu "diag" not "MFG"
anyone have any other ideas?

Hey Reaver_Shadow, did you ever get your MMS to work on your phone?

No dice - 277634#*# does nothing at the diagnostics menu. It just sits there looking at me. Are you sure this is the correct code?
the 277634#*# is for the LG MGF "app" you get installed when you dial ##634# on an LG WP7 phone it doesn't work on a samsung device. It doesn't work on mine, and i have yet to see anyne state that it works on theres.
The closest thing is a "app" that gets installed when you dial ##634# called "diag"
try entering in the diag program (found either by app menu or dialing ##634# again):
*#197328640#
and see if it works or just sits there and stares
Yeah still my biggest problem is MMS settings in the phone. Does anyone get a 3G+ symbol on the signal menu? Trying to understand why it doesnt say if HSPA is connected or not...

Yeah I get it all the time when downloading dada, wether its in the market place, emails or netflix...!
as for the data. I was having trouble too, then went into Settings>cellular>add APN>
and I noticed that when I was searching for a network there, it was coming up scan unsuccessful. So I deleted my APN, and scanned again, found the right network, which for me was EINSTEIN HOME, (IN WIS USA) and added internet.air.net with no password or username and now apparently Im on the data network.
Great! Now the Focus and the Quantum I have are data ready, just looking further into the MMS settings. Thanks to a link I found on here, I have the registry key that the settings are in, but unlike windows, I cant just type regedit and change the settings, so trying to find a windows phone 7 regeditor to change that and all set. Will post if I find one. Thanks again guys. ohh and I saw someone is on this, (the MMS settings already, if I see a solution there too Ill post it as well. Good luck!
I got it to work on my Focus Bell Canada using the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924497
Very very happy
It can be done:
Install Diagnosis App
Launch Diagnosis App
Dial *#7465625#
Tap on 'Lock Status' and you will get a list of different locks either enabled or disabled. In my case, all were disabled with the exception of Network Lock which was enabled
Press Back
Press Network Lock
Check Disable Radio Button, enter your SIM unlock code in the box labelled 'Enter NCK' (I got mine for free directly from AT&T)
Press Execute
Voila!
Doing another check of Lock Status should reveal all services now unlocked.
Hello all! I recently won a Sprint Moto X on eBay for the shockingly low price of $130, and I decided to attempt to flash it to Page Plus. So, in order, that others may benefit from this awesomeness, I decided to post a basic guide. One thing to note is that, if you have flashed Sprint phones to Page Plus before, the process is very similar.
DISCLAIMER: This guide comes with no guarantees of any kind. If you lose personal data or service, brick your phone, or lose your arm to gangrene, I am not responsible.
Stuff You Need
A PC running Windows
Motorola Drivers (download here)
SPCUtility APK (download here)
DFS (download here)
QPST (download here)
Page Plus PRL (attached)
10.key file (attached)
Stock, rooted Moto X 4.4.2 firmware (you can try an older version, but I've only tested on this)
How to Do It
First, if you don't have one, get a Page Plus phone number and account. You'll need it for manually programming.
If you have trouble getting Page Plus to accept your ESN (which is the MEID you'll find in Settings > About Phone > Status), try live chat until someone is okay with activating a 4G phone. They will probably warn you that they offer no support for programming 4G phones.
Make sure to Live Chat with Page Plus and ask for your MDN, MIN, and SID. Most likely, your MDN and MIN will be your phone number.
Once everything on Page Plus' end is set up, dial ##DIAG# on your phone. In the screen that appears, click the overflow button and choose Edit. Then set Diag Port to Enable.
Now install the Motorola drivers so you can connect your phone to your PC. This is sometimes a tricky process, and I don't know why. Google is your friend if you have trouble. When successful, you will see this in Device Manager.
Before attempting to program, you need your MSL. Install the SPCUtility APK and use it to get your MSL.
If you haven't already, install DFS. Open the program and click the Ports button in the upper-left corner. Then double-click the Motorola QC Diag Port to select it. (If you don't see this port, the drivers are not properly set up.) Close the Ports window.
Enter your MSL in the SPC box under the Ports button. Then click the SPC send arrow. Your log window should show DEVICE UNLOCKED. (If the log window is not visible, click the Log button in the upper-right.)
(Optional) In the General tab, click Read in the SPC box. Then replace the SPC string with 000000 and click Write. This sets your MSL to all-zeroes, useful for future programming.
In the General tab, click Read in the Config box. It may already read NV_ONLY. If it does not, set it and click Write.
Go under the NAM tab and click Read at the bottom. The fields will populate with your phone's current programming. Now replace the numbers in both MIN A and MIN D fields with your MIN. Fill the MDN and PCS fields with your MDN. Finally, in the Home box, fill in your SID and click Write.
In the PRL box, click Load and select the Page Plus PRL you downloaded. Click Write.
At this point, you may click Reset and your phone should have talk/text. Try taking and sending one of each to verify that everything has gone right so far.
Now go back to DFS and send your SPC again to get back to work. In the Data tab, click Read, and then fill out all of the UID fields and the HDR AN NAI field with [email protected] (the X's being your phone number). In the PPP SIP NAI, use [email protected]. Put "vzw" (sans quotes) in all of the password fields, and make sure the authentication box is checked. Click Write.
Go to the Mobile IP tab and click Read. At this point, I admit that I do not know 100% what I am doing, but that these settings worked for me. Basically, make your settings look like these ones, but input your number where I scribbled out my own. Also, for everything in the Selected Profile Settings box, put it in both the first and second profile selections. After filling each of those out, click Write current profile settings. Then click Write in the left box.
At this point, reset your phone. You might have working 1X after a minute. Irrelevant, because we're about to go for 3G. Close DFS.
Open QPST Configuration (install it if you haven't). Click Add New Port... and select the only available port. Click Okay, then go to Start Client > EFS Explorer. Select your phone and enter your MSL. It will take a minute to read the phone's EFS data.
Once the EFS data is loaded, right click the root directory and click New > Directory. Name the new folder DMU.
Inside the DMU folder, click File > Open and select the 10.key file you downloaded. Verify the target path is /DMU/10.key.
When the file is copied successfully, click Phone > Reset Phone. When the phone reboots, wait a minute or two. You should have 3G!
3G speed test results here
MMS Fix
Download and install 8sms from the Play Store or their website.
If you're using KitKat, be sure to set the new app as your default SMS app.
In the app, go to Settings > MMS Settings.
Now set the following:
MMS Network: Sprint
MMSC: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=XXXXXXXXXX (the X's being your phone number)
MMS Proxy: leave blank
MMS Port: 8080 (if that doesn't work, try 80)
MMS over WiFi: Off
Volia! You should have working MMS.
Now, I freely admit that there are numerous places to go wrong here, but this is what worked perfectly for me. If you have trouble, tell me and I'll try to help. Also, check out this thread for general flashing reference. Viper is an expert at these kinds of projects.
Happy flashing!

Flashing between major, independent carriers is illegal. Legally we can only flash between MNVOs.
but what mean MNVO ? I am not USA citizen I live in Republic Of Georgia

It wants your MSL/SPC code. Look for the app called SPCUtility.apk in the OP.
I downloaded it from an XDA page by the guy who developed it but I no longer have the URL and don't recall his handle.
It will tell you your subsidy unlock code, at least it did for me on my Moto X and for several other folks with other Android phones.
