Hi guys
I'm about to unlock my x10, is from mexico but want to use it with at&t in the US
the phone has all it's unloking attempts used (damn carrier)
what service do you recommend me to unlock it?
also if I unlock it, will I be able to use any sim and anytime? I mean putting back my original sim to the phone will it work or do i have to unlock it again?
thanks

once unlocked it will not relock itself.. no worries.. as far as unlocking solutions I mused mobile in canada but I think you should e-mail them with the IMEI and see if they have a unlock code for it. what carrier was it locked to? that would help narrow it down

Yes! i unlocked my X10 with them cuz I couldn't unlock it anywhere else. Trust me, I've tried all of the online remote unlocking services. HTCCode has the cable unlocking method, for $40, it's not cheap but it's really worthed. I recommended it to a lot of my buddies here in the forum and all of it worked. I've been using my X10 for about 3 months without any problem now hope this helps.
I searched and see some people are having the same problem as I do.
My problem, I can not get my ATT galaxy S4 SGH-I337 to unlock. I tried the free method. I bought code, two places, got the same code. But no luck on unlocking this bad boy. Anyone figured out how to unlock it yet? What can I do?
you mean SIM unlock, yes? cell un locker.net worked for me, as did free method. i was going overseas, tried free method which worked with t-mob in USA, but wanted the code just to be safe.
You could use the search function and read the threads that are just like yours: "how do I unlock when free version fails" type thing.
Yes it takes a few minutes to review the first few pages of the general and QA forums, or to use the search function, but I promise you that others have already posted solutions that worked for them.

unable to unlock galaxy s4 i337 ATT
Thanks for all the replies. As I have said, I tried the free ways of unlocking and the buying the code way to unlocking. But still no luck. I can not get it to sim unlock. Anyone having this problem?
Did you try fastgsm.com 15 dollar cable (usb power cord) unlock..worked like a charm for me when I was in the same boat your in
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
I'm the same boat here bought the code (2 places same code), code will not unlock, now I'm on CM10, but I can not find anywhere that ROM version makes a difference to unlocking did not with teh Atrix and S3 I unlocked. Still kind of stuck, Maybe is it is the F3 modem or something else, really just do not know or understand why I'm encountering issues since other than this thread everyone seems to be having no issues.
Thanks,
ERIC

It works, you missed a step somewhere, try once again. It is the US version you have correct?
Need held unlocking sgh-i337m Telus version
I am new at this. First post ever.
Followed the instructions here to free unlock my phone
Went through the steps twice and did not unlock my device.
So I thought I did something wrong so I went to try one last time. However this time the phone won't allow me past the 1st step.
I enter: *#0011#
Then menu back
Then menu input 1
And at this point the phones restarts. It won't allow me to the full service menu.
Can someone help me please.
The phone is brand new and at one point the was a Samsung update the was downloaded and installed. Don't know if this download changed the system and access to service menu
For some people it fails doing the free method even though they followed it correctly and jt messes up something internally that prevents even the official code from working. The only work around to unlocking it at this stage is via a service called FastGSM from what I've read.

fastgsm cable does not work if your baseband version ends in anything later than ME1. Mine is MF3 and I did not understand this until after I bought the software for USB cable unlock from fastgsm. I have not found any method that will work for me so far.
This is old, but I just want to say that usb cable unlocking worked for me where others failed
Not this one
I spent hours searching forms, for me too non of the free methods worked, until I combined some of them and made a thred, this will work, I just did it myself
I just posted to xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48174440#post48174440

so i was trying to unlock my phone through the free unlock method but to no avail, i bought an unlock code . I have a sgh 1337m locked to telus and when put in the code it is not unlocking . I have tried to unlock 3 times already. note,i used used the method on galaxys4root.com to open up the phone for ADW so i can use my phone for wind. the screens on the bottom are the ones i get when i type *#9090# or *#0011* may have tweaked with the.Diag config but not sure ..can someone please help
Most people who tried the "free" method unsuccessfully and then went to purchase just a code and it doesn't work, would end up paying the $14.99 on FastGSM.com for the USB method to successfully unlock their device.
This will help.

Why didn't you read about what you were doing before doing it? If you would have, you would have learned about the possible complications and how to possibly fix them. The issue you are having and possible solutions have been reported and posted dozens of times already.
And, for future reference, I wouldn't do anything to your phone that doesn't come directly from XDA and then only after thoroughly reading and learning about it. Good luck.

thanks alot i really appreciate it. this solved my problem, i have been searching xda forums for awhile for the solution. My thread was the last resort, i didnt know the problem was so prevalent, thanks again. one last note for those that are using the phone to open AWS you will have to do the process again.
I havent been able to unlock my phone phone i bought it off ebay and i cant seem to unlock it. i bought the unlock code from two different unlock servers and they both appeared with the same code but it doesnt work i was wondering if anyone has had this same problem and was able to fix it. i would apreciate the help thanks in advance.
You have to wait a while for the unlock to go through. I've never unlocked my phone but I've seen videos so I have some knowledge

Something happened with OS in your phone. Maybe it was rooted, or maybe some error in the system. Any how. Just flash your phone with stock rom. The original firmware that it had, and the code should work. Also try factory reset first. That may work as well.
Good luck.

Greeeeetings!
Anyone knows how to sim unlock this thing? (or at least, some kind of intl gsm unlock?)
Really appreciated!
eBay for $2 sim unlock code. Worked well for me
does sim unlocking opens international gsm bands? can anyone please confirm? data only will also work if that's possible.

Open your dialer and dial ##27264#. Follow the prompts and it will unbrand your device. I think this is what your looking for.
Edit: it should undo any gsm lock.
Edit: that should be ##27263# sorry.

It didn't work, it still shows the "invalid sim card" message. For print phones, NV can be edited to SIM unlock, but there's no way to get the MSL code. Anybody knows how to get the MSL code?
So what I've come to is all Sprint versions or any IMEI starting with 99 is unlockable. I've had one guy who sells the unlock codes on eBay said he's positive there's no way to unlock the 99 IMEI phone. Can anybody else confirm this or offer up a solution?

Have you tried the E4 plus forums instead of the E4's?
im having the same issue, i have an e4 plus and i have bought an unlock code but no matter what i try i cannot get a prompt to appear to enter the code. is there any other option of sim unlocking besides using the code. maybe some kind of root exploit?

Could you possibly be kind enough to share how you managed your unlock?
I would be eternally grateful as I've spent over 2 days of research and begging letters to various unlockers and forums without any joy - even Boost mobile have not come back to me.
I'm willing to pay, or contribute to your​ favourite charity if I can get mine unlocked.

Yes. You'll have to reboot to twrp, click on mount then check the box next to oem. Next go to the twrp file manager and etc/motorola/hide/ there is a file named application.xml. Rename the file with a ~ on the end. Then reboot and you should have it working. That file tells the system to hide the hidden menu app, that's why it opens and closes like that.

I have been following this thread with interest as I have an E4 I bought in the USA recently.
I was hoping to unlock for use here in the UK. Boost have flatly refused to help me.
When I put my sim in the notification bar briefly flashes up with a hidden menu & 'Invalid sim'
I could perhaps use that unlocker website but I don't fancy the phone being on a blacklist.
here is where I show my ignorance though, we are talking about unlocking the sim on a locked phone here yes? ...
not an OEM unlock, which I believe is unlocking the bootloader (rooting it?)
