A colleague of mine is trying to get this phone unlocked but has been unable to obtain an unlocking code. (Edit, I believe it's branded by Verizon?)
He has tried several vendors on ebay but they have all said they don't have the unlock code for his IMEI in their database yet. Some of them added that eventually they will get the unlock code, it just takes time.
Is there anything else that can be done?
Thanks!
This has been an issue with the verizon variant of moto e4 and this topic has been discussed in another thread. Also you should be aware that the bootloader on the verizon variant is not unlockable as is in the case with other recent verizon models so it's not possible to root or install a custom rom.

No.You Cant unlock it in this moment. You need to wait like one or two months. When the database update his servers, then you can ask for your code.
Hi Gents,
Thank you for the info. I will let me colleague know.
I stayed persistent ... Calling differant Verizon numbers, live chatting on line, basically bugging verizon wireless for almost 3 whole weeks... They gave me my unlock code about a week ago. even tho i really qualified for it about 3 weeks ago... Always , always always make sure u speak withe a live agent and accuse them of lying 2 the hardworking Americans... I took it there more than once with Verizon ,but it took all that before they gave it 2 me... Im not special so u can do it 2.

Hi
Can anyone help me with unloking a at&t tilt
Thanks
Jim
here you go sir, no need to thank me!

in all seriousness, if you want to get it done for free, just call at&t and tell them you're going out of the country and you need it for roaming purposes, i've heard both good and bad results from doing that.
if you somehow obtained the phone otherwise, go for the site i gave you above.
ive actually done that and i didnt need to give them any reason. i called at and told them i needed a unlock code for my fuze. and i gave them my imei nimber. but it didnt work. i called 4 times and they ave me the same code.. but it turned out my sim was locked from my other phone and all i had to do was unlock it from my sim from my other phone
unlock
I thought it was a law that the carriers had to give unlock code upon request
If you are "in contract," with more then 4 months left on the contract, they do NOT have to provide the unlock code. HOWEVER if you are NOT under contract, then they MUST provide the unlock code.
EXCEPT in the case of the iPhone (my wife has that nasty thing.) They do NOT have to provide (and say that they will not) an unlock codes for them. Apparently it is in their contract from Apple Corp that they cannot provide unlock codes for them.
HTC on the other hand is A LOT more "user friendly" when it comes to their devices, and encourages providers to provide the unlock codes for their devices upon request.
I have 3 HTC AT&T Tilt's (Kaiser) and all 3 were bought without contract, and AT&T quickly provided me with the unlock codes for all 3.
hi developers i am quite new to this site, the reason i join this i want to get the unlock code for my at&t motorola atrix 4g handset so that i can use different sim carriers,i have searched the whole threads still there is not a solution of the problem.Also i have visited different phone threads like htc sensation http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107.Cant this problem be resolved like this,give some suggestion guys.U people are the best i hope someone can come up with a good idea for this problem.Also i have used some other site where they provide unlock code but they give same answers that my code cant be found.Plz developer give a look on this problem.
Hello,
I don't think there is any other way to unlock the atrix besides buying an unlock code. Unlock codes are fairly cheap on ebay, where I got mine. These are the guys that I used http://www.ebay.ca/itm/UNLOCK-CODE-...742?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eb89f6246 .
hope that this helps!
hey i know about the site giving unlock codes ,i have tried cellunlock.net site but they said they cant get me the unlock code so i am confused is it worth trying on other site as i heart cellunlock.net is quite best in its work.Give me a suggestion should i try this on other site.They give this message like this
Hi
We checked the IMEI you provided again and the code is not available for that phone. If you have another phone you would like to unlock, email us the IMEI/Provider and we will try to get the code for that phone.
If not please reply to this email with "REFUND" in the email subject and we will issue refund.
What should i do?
If the phone is on AT&T, call them.
They give out the unlock codes for free as long as your account is in good standing.
The easiest way is to use their online chat support.

i know about this but my AT&T account is less than 1 year so they wont give me,also it is not in good standing too
I have tried everything.Hope someone comes out with a solution of this.

I've been with AT&T for over five years in good standing and they wouldn't give me the code either. Their excuse was that Motorola wouldn't release the codes.
I ended up unlocking mine through cellularunlock. Then went to wwwDOTpsouza4.com/bionic/#root to root.

Ask someone who has already had At&t for a year and they can call and get the code

Cellular unlock works great, pretty fast too. Only option really if you're not in the states. If you have an at &t number online chat supposedly works great.

yeh i have given my order for the unlock code to cellunlocker.net ,on the site u jst have to put imei no and see that ur phone is available in their database.Also they say on there FAQ that if the code is not found on the AT&T database than there r other options to get the code directly from the manufacture,as i put my imei no on the site they say that the code is there in there database,but i dont think they wll be able to provide me through AT&t .I am waiting for there reply if they say they cant get me the code through AT&T i wll go to the manufacture method.Hope my code come this time.
I am skeptical about unlock codes. At first I bought one on ebay it did not work. Then I got one from at&t , it did not work either. I had at&t sim inside while unlocking. I think I blocked the unlock feature by trying too many times.
YES it is possible to enter an unlock code with at&t sim inside if you enter special service code first which bring the unlock menu.
Any thoughts?

obviously it's not if you used this method and none of your codes worked.
This may have changed, but the guy at the at&t store told me a few months ago that once your phone is over six months old you can just call at&t and they will give you the code.

Cheap unlock
In case you are interested, i got my unlock code for an At&t Atrix last week from unlock_fusion at e-bay. it worked perfect and was just $2.35.
They where quick too, bougt it arround midnight EST, and got it in less than an hour!
I've tried several online unlocking services and each one of them has (eventually) told me that the system *everyone* uses to generate unlock codes from IMEI numbers for Samsung devices has been down since before xmas.
I've just moved to another country and I really need to get my phone unlocked, is there no way to get it unlocked so I can use a local SIM in it at all?
At the moment it's basically just a very small tablet.
If you are >4.3 ROM there is no way to unlock it unless you buy unlock code for ~15$
That's the problem though, I've tried to buy the code several times now and each time I have been told that NOBODY can unlock them anywhere sure to the system used for unlocking Samsung devices being down worldwide.
Just have to wait buddy, I know you're frustrated.

so it's definitely true, and it's affecting everyone?
Folks just a note on my experience attempting to sim unlock my S6 on EE UK, I attempted to unlock my device using a few online unlocking service providers, 2 of them provided codes that were unsuccessful and the other worked first time.
The code that worked for me was from SamsungCodeSource.com and I would recommend them for anybody looking to get their handset unlocked...........for the record I'm not affiliated with them in any way just thought I would share to save anyone else the hassle of going through several unlock providers.
Feel free to add any others that have worked for you to allow other users to get their handset unlocked first time.

Was there a reason you did not go through EE themselves, i'm currently trying to get mine unlocked and EE says 10 days, its been 7 and no code yet.

Did mine through EE, first time they came back and said I had not had contract over 6 months (which I had) rang them back and eventually got the code in a text message on day 11 or 12 of the second request.
I phoned EE after waiting 11 days and the guy done it there and then for me, said originally there was a delay in getting the code form Samsung.
I used ebay and received a code in 3 hours for £11. I do not know if the phone was bought as part of a contract as it was a gift. BTW do you guys have the app called sec.abt showing in applications under settings? It is a rootkit that comes with EE phones, everyday it sends about 5 text messages to EE which is costing me like crazy! I am going to do a stock flash with odin and hopefully it will go.
Hello XDA friends,
I recently bought a LGV35 AT&T with bad imei, I'm not form USA so I was thinking I was able to unlock it for carriers outside USA, I have an octopus box but unfortunately my box doesnt support that model yet, I tried to contact with a few unlock providers but unfortunately again they dont have support for that model neither, so I want to ask you that if there is a way to unlock it or I will have to wait until my box have an update to unlock that type of model.
Best regards.:fingers-crossed:

Me too.. Unfortunatley its been decided that there will never be any unlocking, rooting, sim unlocking or any ROMs for this phone. v30 and v40 get there own dedicated forums.. while v35 still gets none. The higher ups in the XDA world put a hex on the V35....They dont want any development.
Hey guys just a quick update, I already tried from different unlock services with no luck seems like they already don´t have access to unlock codes or something like that.

Yes I'm optimistic
Because they told me that every week they receive new model for unlock, so maybe we are in an unrealease list (for me from AT&T) so maybe the OEM are not able yet to release the codes.
But don't be very very optimisitc because this a new a phone so the unlock service could be in a few weeks or maybe in months, but be positive!

Ok! I'll be positive :fingers-crossed:
So you have a box eventually to unlock the phone too? If it will be suppurted earlier than the codes could you do it in a remote way (via internet)? I can pay for it.

octoplus supports it but damage the efs partitcion , and gc pro i think it need to be rooted wich now is impossible i actually think they made the unlock by box pretty much impossible no download mode at all , no access to fastboot , even adb commands are worthless, the first time i see no way to unlock an lg phone from at&t from unlock code resellers , first time also that i see that the server for this phone went down since in lauch i unlocked 6 purchasing the unlock code for 5 bucks each

Unlocking codes providers are now working :good::fingers-crossed:
The price was right so I purchased an ATT v35 NIB on ebay from a reputable seller. It was sim locked to att. The ATT route to unlock would have involved a 90 day service committment, expensive and inconvenient. Found codes2unlock.com via the Howard forum, https://www.howardforums.com/showth...lock-AT-amp-T-USA-LG-V35-ThinQ-by-Unlock-Code.
They turned around a sim unlock code in less than 12 hr for $15. Worked like a charm. With that out of the way, I proceeded to flash the latest ULM (Fi) rom to at least partially free the phone. Would be great to have root as an option but I just don't have the will to play cat and mouse with Magisk to be able to use Google Pay.

Just want to make sure i'm understanding this correctly. I have an ATT LG v35 that i'm currently using with a cricket sim. If I pay for the unlock code I will be able to flash the Fi rom? Could you point me to the resources to download the correct rom? It's been a while since i've tried any of this.
I don't know if lgup checks carrier lock state before flashing a kdz. One thing for sure is that there are no kdz's for ATT roms. You won't be able to go back to ATT stock. Unlocking it before crossing that rubicon seemed like a good idea to avoid a future unlocking hassle so that the phone can be used with another carrier, Verizon in my case.
Here's the link to the Fi kdz.

Be sure to do a back up prior to doing the rom. One nice feature of 'restoral' is that you can select which apps/data to restore (meaning you can leave unwanted apps behind). I just did it today and am very happy. Even the authenticator app is working as before. Some logins might need to be redone, but it's worth it.
Solution:
Only buy unlocked phones
I just purchased an AT&T LG V35, had it unlocked through unlocklocks.com for $18.50 , turn around was about 3 hours and code worked with no problems. Hope that helps!
