I bought a code from a reputable unlocker for a Canadian SM-G900W8. However it is not working. I've tried twice. They say their codes are 99% accurate. Ive never had problems from them before.
Any insight?

Which unlocker service did you use? It could be that you gave them the wrong IMEI and the unlock code they provided you with does not apply to your device.

I gave the right IMEI.
I bought from swiftunlocks.com
I made a video and they are refunding me.

I got the code from phoneunlockingshop.ca and the same problem happens. They guide me to do a factory reset and it works for me. You may do the same and try the code which you purchased recently

Also if you are on Red Pocket, can you please post your data speeds? I am in New York - Long Island area.
Thank you,

works just fine... no problems... not sure of the speeds but it does pretty good.... sold it to a customer last week and he is happy
I can attest that it works fine on Red Pocket as well. I'm wondering if MMS will be ok when my note updates to ICS because I've heard there have been some APN problems on other phones that upgraded to ICS.

I am trying to unlock a n7000 for a friend. Which makes no since to me because I thought this phone was factory unlocked. Yet when I put her red pocket sim in it, it asks for a sim unlock code. I've checked in the "about phone" settings and confirmed that it is a n7000. She bought it off eBay and the seller also claimed it is factory unlocked. Anybody have any idea what the issue might be? Thanks in advance

Thanks for the link. Didn't get a chance to try it. I rooted it with doom lord v4(would post link but don't know how) and installed busybox and unlocked with galaxy s unlock from the play store. Worked perfectly.
BTW turned out it it is a sgh-i9220/gt-n7000 so it was locked to a vodaphone. Don't understand why Samsung wouldn't put that info in the about phone info oh well thanks again

Hi
I've just received one of the Razr I phones on offer from Three UK for £149 + £10 topup ordered online. People might like to know that the phone I received is an unbranded UK Retail model with 4.1.2 and UNLOCKED. I've tried it with Virgin, T-Mobile & Tesco SIMs and it works fine. Very pleased so far.
Cheers - Andy
Yea problem is you cant unlock the bootloaders try it yourself so no modding.

Yep, aware of that. Should have made clear that I meant it was not SIM locked. Modding always seems to bring me grief so I'm quite happy to keep it standard as a reliable phone/internet browser/navigation device. :fingers-crossed:

Hi,
are you totally sure that ALL of the Three PAYG Motorola Razr i-s can NOT be unlocked considering their bootloader? Why?
I plan to purchase one, but I knew nothing about this... Would I miss anything important if it remains locked?

I have just unlocked my locked bootloader, having bought the phone like the op from 3.
The fault with generating the unlock code was with Moto.
Now mine is unlocked, rooted and CWM installed.

By the way: can everybody confirm that the 'Razr i' purchased from Three is SIM-Unlocked (without their official unlocking process)?
That would be great help if I could be sure

Yep, I received mine yesterday and the label on the Box and About Phone page shows it to be a normal UK Retail version and mine definitely wasn't SIM locked as in OP. I'm currently using a Tesco (O2) PAYG SIM to use remaining credit before porting to 3. I've also tested with T-Mobile & Virgin and it works fine.

Thanks guys for the helpful (and fortunately positive) replies. Now I'm brave enough to turn the question by 180°:
is there anybody, whose device that has been bought from Three (especially Pay As You Go) was SIM-locked?
(I hope the thread's intensity becomes weaker).
funny enough yes. i bought one for my mrs today and after commenting only a few hours ago i thought i should try. so i put a giffgaff sim in it and it asked for unlock code??????
so i tryed with a EE sim and asked same again.
then i put the 3 sim back in got it all set up with google sync and apps etc and tryed again wigh sims and hey presto it worked????????
whats that all about?

I must've missed out on that as they're showing as £249.99 now. Shame really as I'm thinking about moving from GG to Three.
Instead I've picked up one from the Orange ebay store (£169.99 with £20 credit included). Seems like unlock codes can be picked up cheaply enough too - here's hoping the Orange branding isn't overboard.

Hi, I had to do the same, because my UK contact was late by one day (she could go for the phone on 1st Aug 2013, offer ended at 31st July...), so I've ordered from Play.com with free Pillips BT speaker (http://www.play.com/stores/ChitterChatter/listing/828995144). +10Ł & Locked, but still satisfactory offer. When do you get yours? I've never thought of Orange branding... can it be disturbing?
And from where do you buy trustworthy unlock code? I'll need sth like that, too!
I bought mine from the "official" Orange UK eBay store - which is run by ChitterChatter, the same company in your play.com link. I'm hoping it gets delivered at some point this week.
There's quite a few sellers advertising an XT890 unlock on ebay for less than £10, so it seems pretty straight forward to get the handset unlocked.
Looking into people who bought the RAZR i last time Orange sold them for this price, the handsets themselves don't have any Orange branding. Usually, Orange really go over the top with their branding so it's nice to know these won't have that problem.
Three raised there price to £249.99 a day after I bought mine for £149.99 :') guess I was lucku

This may be only for UK owners but at w w w motorola.kondor.co.uk you can enter your IMEI and receive a free Shell, colour options available too. Servers are not up yet so tomorrow or Monday it should be good to go.
This will mean ive gotten 3 free cases in total
What do you mean 3? I know only of 2:
1) The one that came with the tesco version (i suppose you have that one)
2) This one
Could you tell me what is the third?
I got a free white cover from phones4u when buying mine, be nuce to get free shell as been in 2 minds on whether to get one - what's the catch other than giving out imei?
Edit: lpoks like just for new purchases :
Purchased between 24/12/13 and 26/02/14
Will give it go anyway!

Keep getting code you entered cannot be found after entering IMEI - will they have a list of which IMEI were sold when? Also mine is unlocked.
I'm getting IMEI not recognised too.
I bought mine locked to o2 cheaply off ebay, then unlocked it, my imei worked so maybe it's for o2 customers?
Went back on and entered my imei for a second time after placing an order and it doesn't stop me from ordering again which is a bit weird?

Has anyone been able to remove the sim lock on thier 6P? Ordered a code (which I'm getting my money back for) but it didn't work.
Any help? Based in the UK. Locked to EE have to wait for 6 months before EE would unlock it. Anyone know any other way?

nexus is sim unlocked
EE ones are locked, mine was when I first got it. @OP, I looked into it for a couple of weeks then stumped up for a code, tried to do it through EE first and they said it wasn't one of their phones despite me having bought it from an EE shop, so I used the first one that came up on a Google search. Took a couple of days longer than expected,but worked perfectly.

Cheers mate, I've been down the same route. They said the same to me, reason being is that you have to have the phone for more than 6 months before they'll give you a code, in the meantime it'll simply fail.
That's why they say that it's not from them, because on searching for a code it appears that way.
Nice one though, I'll go back to EE and see what they say then I'll start on the net.

yeah sorry forgot about ee
I purchased Lg G6 unlocked t-mobile from ebay India on a half price of original "this is what I was patting my back with pride for" for a while though. Well, today I got a prompt on my phone screen that T-mobile temporary unlock period is expired, please reboot. I could smell the issue by now and as soon as I rebooted another message said "Network Lock". Now my sim does not have network signals. It is as good as a brick because I do not have t-mobile sim nor I think this phone was outright'ly purchased before it landed in my hands.
Looking for options:
1) does flashing custom rom (If available) release the network lock?
2) are there software available that can unlock without t-mobile sim?
3) are there paid unlock services available for foreign network?
4) any other that I am not aware of?

My friend has the same issue. Bought a second hand Tmobile G6 and the sim couldnt get any signal. After a while googling I found that IMEI of the device is blacklisted.
Now I wonder if rooting the device and changing the IMEI would help.

No solution yet. Tried few options but all in vain. Now, what I have found out that, If I downgrade it to Nougat 11g, then I can get it unlocked. Though I am not able to find one post where there was a complete procedure looks like it was deleted by the OP.
