Hi, about 2 year ago i bought a L7 in Movistar (Argentina). Now, the contract has expired, and the company don't want to give me a unlock code, and, i refuse to pay for it. That's something that they must to give it to me for free, but they wont do it.
So, is there any way to unlock it? It doesnt mind if it's temporally or permanently or if i have to root it.
I need it because a few days back somebody stole my phone, and i need to use this.
Thanks
Hello,
You can unlock with IMEI.Serch on the google in your country.I unlocked my L7 in Romania and cost only 6€.

Is it possible to unlock for free ? Couldn't find an manual (only jtag).
should I risk to buy an locked phone?
This has been covered elsewhere.
Your simlock can be removed by the service provider.
either that or there is a site out there that charges about £20 to send you the unlock code.
Ive just got a G1 off my cousin today and have suffered the same. Luckily for me he is still a tmobile customer and should be able to get the unlock code from them for free.

Thanks for your confirmation (wasn't sure about this).Jtag can also be done (but thats madness)
Just another question:
I've read that the locked version uses different gsm networks(dual band), while the unlocked versions use quad band.
Can an locked phone that has been unlocked use the quad band (with the right radio) too?
Anyway I've bought the google phone
I found that unlocking on ebay is the fastest and the cheapest way of doing this.
BTW: the phone I'm going to buy has already CM 4.6, should I root again after every build I flash (the kaiser builds were always rooted) ?
I wouldnt have thought you needed to root again if it already has the Cyanogenmod on it as i think its already rooted.
im still learning the android stuff!
i do know that within 3hrs of having my (still locked to tmobile) "virgin" G1 i had the Danger-spl and the latest release of CM on it!
ebay i will have to look into as i have discovered that because im in the UK Tmobile will charge £15 to unlock even though my cousin has had this phone since release.

Simlock has nothing to do with the rom, and a rooted rom has nothing to do with the simlock outside of prompting you for the code if the radio firmware tells the rom its needed to proceed.
There is no reason to unroot/reroot besides increasing the chances you make a mistake and brick the phone.
If you want a different rom that's your choice, but it will have no impact on the simlock.

So after flashing a custom rom (phone was already rooted) , the phone is still rooted?
Reroot is only needed when flashing the original image back (if you want a custom rom later) ?
Sim unlock code is best to unlock the HTC G1,But free unlock code is not possible to get for this Model Phone,You need to pay for it,Get the unlock code from the site Superunlockcodes.com/htc/rs12wp8/ and Unlock it.

Hello everyone. I've got Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 4.4.2 and what i want is to have my mobile phone sim unlocked. i'm currently on T-Mobile Croatia nad i'm trying to insert my new SIM card from another operator... when mobile phone boots it asks for some code. As i don't have the code, i don't know what to do, and as i'm contractly connected with my original operator, i cannot request free sim unlock. However, i don't want to pay for the code either. So what are my chanses to get my mobile code sim unlocked? tried this metnod: android.gs/sim-unlock-samsung-galaxy-s4-i9505-i9500/
i cannot get over service mode menu after i enter 1. it's not doing anything, and as i see, this only works on 4.3 androids. So my is 4.4.2 and i'm unable to enter that mode.
please help me!
You have to unlock ur phone by IMEI. Unique way of make it free is buying a unlock code. Good luck :highfive:

Hi i still have an old locked Lg G2. I want to give it to my Dad but it has a sim lock.
Is there any way to unlock it? Does Root help maybe custom rom?
i can only find old threats from 2013 about this. maybe now in 2016 its possible for free.
thx in advance
Which phone is sim locked? I know quite a few LG models are cheap to unlock via code from an ebay seller.
Hello,
I just acquired a new 'Huawei Ascend XT' phone which is sim locked to AT&T. I am currently in the process of unlocking the boot loader and rooting the phone.
I was wondering is there any tool available to Carrier / imei unlock this phone after I have rooted it (or may be even befor rooting it)?
Thanks.
I'm fairly certain you just need to change the apn settings manually.. need to do something weird to bring up the option to add/edit, believe it's holding down the tasks button
Without being carrier unlocked, the phone can only be used on AT&T Prepaid, AT&T, or AT&T based MVNOs. These days AT&T won't give you an unlock code unless you use the phone on AT&T Prepaid for 6 months. You can check eBay to see if any unlockers will sell you an unlock code for a few bucks. Only buy from sellers who have a money back guarantee if their unlock code fails.

Bought 2nd-Hand
I would like to ask if there is any way to carrier unlock. I bought this phone for 20$ on offer up. But when I contacted at&t to request unlock they said it has to be used for 6 months. For me that does not work, as I am already with tMobile and bought the XT for a second phone because of the large device support. I actually love the phone, but as is it is just sitting around. If anyone has or has heard of a way to accomplish an unlock please p.m. Me.or answer in forum. Thanks in advance.
Ps. phone is already bootloader unlocked and rooted with magisk 14.0. And latest TwRP.
