I used Lokiwiz, and just unlocked the phone, its a cingular 8125, the wizard.....Do i have to CID unlock or is the regular unlock just fine? and can anyone explain the diffrance....cause i unlocked it... followed the directions, and it worked great, using it with tmobile as we speak....but if i wanna switch roms do i have to do a CID unlock? cause i just hit opition U and it unlocked it..sorry if im confussing i just wanna make sure im doing everything properly
thanx for all ure help.....and the guy who made lokiwiz is Da BomB
ok.. I got the IMEI unlocker and ran it, and it went through the whole process and appears sucessful, how do I check and see if my phone is unlocked?
Just put in a SIM from another network provider - that should proof it! If your phone is unlocked it should work, if not it will ask you to enter the unlock code!
That applies with the CID unlocker I used from IMEI check? or is that just SIM unlock?
Well, you did not clearify what UNLOCK you were reffering to! The CID unloack you won't know unless you actually try to reflash your device with a non-provider ROM ...
Thanks for the help though, I flashed my device succesfully and am a proud WM6 user now.

Glad to hear you are happy!
noob Q, would flashing and installing a custom ROM affect the ability to SIM Unlock the phone?! I have flashed my phone and installed a custom ROM and unable to SIM unlock the phone with the unlcok code given to me by tmobile/htc. I only have 1 chance left and I really hate to have to start over again in setting things up. Does anybody know if flashing the phone affect it at all?! Thank you!
anybody? anybody?!
sim unlock and rom flashing are completely unconnected. Nothing you do to the rom will affect the sim lock, and unlocking the sim lock wont unlock the rom.
great! thank you! i was just afraid that it hindered my ability to unlock the phone since I'm going out of the country in a few days. at least I just have to deal with tmobile. Thank you again!

This phone was on the 3 network and i want to run it on the tesco / 02 network.

Can some one just help me as im stuck now. ive done loads of phones in the past without any trouble and i also have done a iphone 2g the other week but this one is hard.
i will even put a stock rom on if i can get my sim card to work.

You have to buy an unlock code.

Hello guys,
got one atrix at&t 4g in hands right now wich cant accept any sim card. Even the at&t one. Customer told he bought it as unlocked at am usa bestbuy shop and as arrived in home realised it´s locked indeed. As far i can see also to at&t sim card as it asks for network pin. I tried to updated it to [STOCK ROM] Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread 4.5.91 (Safest Update) following xda guide, but it keeps locked also to at&t. N tip or help from someone?
Rgds,
Buy an unlock code perhaps?

i did it, but the 8-dig unlock code did not work. Will try a 16 dig from a diff supplier. Weird is it should accept at&t sim card. But it doesnot.
im having a bit of a hard time understanding what u mean by the ATT sim not being accepted..if u mean there no signal when u put the sim in, its because ur friend bought it without activating it with an ATT number most likely. In which case a non active ATT sim will not register with the Roaming partners which will show up on ur phone as no service. Get a valid code from a seller such as cellunlock.net i used them and they're code worked perfectly, once u sim unlock the phone then put in a SIM from ur country and it should pick up signal all u have to do then is create a motoblur account or choose to skip that process.
none sim card

Thany u for replying...
Sorry man for yr misunderstading. Wht i mean is wht i said: it does not accept any sim card. Neither one from at&t. Then, if i insert an at&t sim card (yep, i have more than 4 of them) phone asks for network pin, just like it asks when i insert other operators sim card, like claro brazil (i.e).
Its regular expected behavior should be accepting, at least, the at&t sim card since it´s from usa at&t. Of course it would not show network signal cos i am outside usa and my at&t sim cards have no credits, but it should not ask for a network pin when a at&t sim card is inserted.

Hi there Antonio. Had same problem here in Peru. Thanks to Tenfar´s CMW recovery and Gingerblur I managed to make my Atrix work with Claro Peru and Movistar. Just look for them in the development forums.

sounds like the phone is asking for a SIM Pin or what's known as a PUK Code, which unfortunately if u dont know it, u have to contact the carrier of the sim card for it, my advice would b to try to get a sim unlock code, put the code in just to make sure it is unlocked, then stick the sim for ur country's carrier inside the phone. It will probably ask for a pin again at that point call ur provider, and give them the imei/serial of the sim and ask for the sim pin/puk code. hopefully that resolves the problem. Also do not try to guess the code more then 3 times or u will fry/burn ur sim card and will need a new one.

Are you sure it's an ATT Atrix? Could it be that you have for example a Bell Atrix?
p.s. according to widely spread beliefs, if you type in the network unlock code wrong too many times, the phone will become hard locked, meaning it won't accept any sim card. could be that the person you got it from did just that.
If you can still put in a network pin your good. See, you may have an AT&T sim, but it has no service so the phone wont read it until it's unlock. You need to purchase an unlock. DO NOT GO GUESSING. I believe the Atrix has 5 attempts before locking you out forever.
at & t
@xploited
yep, it´s from at&t. It is bundled into at&t pack and also i flashed it OTA last at&t release.
@Purple Drama Llama
yep, it still asks for network pin code to unlock. No one msg like contact operator or phone freezed or whatever. Then i think it may not be hardlocked... yet.
p.s: ordered a third supplier an unlock code. Hope not be refunded this time since i hope it may work good. Wish me luck.
Rgds,
Hi, guys. I have the same problem i've purchased atrix without contract in the at&t retail store, they e-mailed me the unlock code, but the code is wrong i said it to them, they were surprised and e-mailed me another one and it is wrong too they (in the att store) said, that either of them should work and they don't know what to do. i still cant use my sim card. At&t sim was never used in that phone. is it important to have att sim inserted even once? and what to do with the phone?

At Last!!!!
Hello Folks,
at last i managed to solve it. Flashed 1FF-olympus-user-2.3.4-4.5.91-110625-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P011.sbf back and got the same: unsuccesfull unlock. Then flashed the baseband Retail Brazil Radio.sbf and enter the unlocking code from at&t and Voila... unlocked!!!
Thank you all. Let me quickly get into Aura
Hello!
Junior
I'm also from Brazil and I am having the same problem!
Spend more details on how you achieved this miracle! if you can make the files available used would be great!
I'm with version 2.3.4
Abs
I'm a N00B, but I've spent close to 30 hours reading up on posts the past three days. I have the same problem as stated in the original post... even my AT&T sim results in a request for the unlock code now.
I started with an AT&T Atrix. I unlocked the boot loader, put CWM recovery on, put Alien v4 ROM on...then the next day AT&T called me with my unlock code for international use. When I put a new sim in it asked for the code, but did not accept it "Network unlock result unsuccessful" Two other sims just immediately went to "Subsidy Lock ..." statement without asking for the unlock code... then my AT&T sim stopped working, and went to asking for an unlock code right away. Phone also will not pick up any signal, nor connect to any networks
I have entered many codes many times, and not circumvented the error, nor permanently locked it...
My next steps are to install the Gingerbread 2.3 ROM available here: https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/49191?start=0&tstart=0
Then use RSD lite to flash the AT&T 4.5.91 firmware available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944
After which I am hoping I can enter the unlock code, then re-unlock the boot loader, and flash back to alien v4 ROM again.
Do you think this will work, or have any other better ideas?
Should I use RSD Lite to flash the original firmware .sbf file?
My best guess is that the unlocked boot loader is preventing the phone from carrier unlocking ???
Extra credit:
- any idea how the phone is not permanently frozen after entering unlock codes up to 50 times?
- Will I need to put CWM recovery on the phone again?
- Any idea how the AT&T sim stopped working (while still working fine in another phone)
Please help and I hope this post will help others...
the boot loader unlock .sbf was only 13 MB, but the original 4.5.91 AT&T firmware .sbf is 1.5 GB unzipped... is flashing this mega-file through RSD lite the way to get this operating, or warrantee returnable again from its present state of unlocked boot loader, and not accepting any sims? Thank You

any ideas? Thanks for your time on this...
