Does anyone know of a fix for this? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Try asking here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092451&highlight=unlock
Also there is this post, for a second trial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106496&highlight=unlock

You need to actually give us some information before we can start to help. Explain what you're trying to do, and how you're trying to do it.

Some newer SGS2's cant be unlocked using that method, or so people say.
The app linked above worked perfectly for me.

I have just got a brand new replacement from o2 today and I have tried the SGS2 unlock app and it hasn't worked it keeps saying "No unlock code found "
I really need it unlocking or it is uselsss :/

O2 give unlock codes upon request - they started doing it a couple of years ago. It can take a little while though, but at least it will definitely work.

If the phone is O2 branded, then they supply you with the unlock code, not 3.

i'll shut up if you'll just answer my question!!!

Is there any sim unlocking solution on my xda atom pure? i been asking everyone but, i think everybody likes to IGNORE a "NEWBIE" in this forum. or atleast can somebody tell me that someone is working on a unlocking tool... i dont tend to be mean of something its just that im so pissed that everyone is ignoring me!
Because you're asking for a sim unlocking solution. You must be from Turkey, but I'm afraid it isn't allowed here...
Also, bear in mind that most of us got our Atoms unadulterated. Even me. BE PATIENT. NOBODY HERE IS GOD, INCLUDING YOU.
why cant you just reflash the firmware?
how sir?! whatdo you mean by reflashing the frimware? i installed the custom firmware that is available in this forum but still no luck. my phone is still not unlocked.
Check whether below link helps.

It says "this model can't be unlocked" on the very first line. <_<
In any case, if they give you access to the bootloader, flashing your unit just MIGHT work. However, I have no garuntees. I've seen far too many people here with junked Atoms, and before Jiggs's ROM I lived with an unstable hacked Atom Exec ROM.
If you still want to try, tho, I heartily recommend Jigg's ROM. If it works, good for you. I don't like flashing locked devices because god knows what else is locked...

Hi guy
I don't thing this forum would like to ignore the question from newbie . For your problem I don't thing ATOM got any sim lock , the reason is your network provider they maybe lock your sim to prevent anybody who haven't buy the mobile from their supplier to protect the profit . It seems my friends who come from Egypt he brought a phone from HK (use the HK local sim is OK)however he can't be use after back to his country (due to use the eygpt locate sim ) .
Finally I think you better contact some local mobile company they may help you to solve.

Agreed with ericj
For my case in singapore you just hav to call the mobile company you are using and they will give u the code to unlock. More or less confirm its not an issue with your atom
Cheer!!

Forum Untold Rule
I think it is normal for an unknown question to be ignored in any forum. It is not because you're newbie... it is simply because no one knows, or it has been answered before. When this happens, googling, and googling, and googling is all you can do.
I have been asking, and asking, and asking on different threads, too, and I also experience being ignored as well. BUT after thorough searching, you'll get to somewhere...
Besides, this section of the forum doesn't have a moderator; so, you should expect not to be answered immediately. I believe, most people who are present are here for one reason alone - ATOM UPGRADING.
Then you should realize that you can not expect someone else to do the searching for you because the members/viewers present are here for different reason.
so... in the bottom line there's no way that my cellphone will be unlocked?
so anyone working on a unlcoking solution? Iphone now a days can be unlcoked, and Atom has been in the market for 2 years now... and still no one has done a unlocking solution? GOD please help me!
one good question is, although we know that if the phone can be use with other sim is unlocked, we can just do this even if it's not with wm os, but, is there a software we can use to find out if our phone is unlocked or locked? don't mean to be stupid though, just wanted to make sure if there is one.......
meanwhile, i will try to search an answer to my question, but i will wait for your answers guys....

[Q] How does the dell streak lock actually work?

So I bought my PayG Streak from 02 the other day.
I knew it was locked to 02 but I figured someone smart enough here would find an unlock.
I have the mental capacity to take on such a task myself but Ive never attempted it before.
I put a T-mobile sim into my streak and it asks for network unlock but if i Hit cancel it takes me straight into my fully working phone (bar the sim).
So my question is, How is the Dell streak locked? Is it via a chip or piece of hardware inside the device? or is it purely based on the ROM side of things?
Considering I can get into the phone and use wifi etc without the sim would it be possible to create a bit of software that executes and enables the sim to work? every time you reboot the device per say).
And Is anyone in here actually working on this? I'd like to know to share idea's on exploiting the device to allow any sim.

Checked and there is nothing regarding unlocking Dell Streak.
Just spam from spences10
PS: admins delete please this advertisement.
No it doesn’t say anything about unlocking the DELL Streak but it does explain the difference between ‘root’ and ‘carrier unlock’ maybe I should have been a bit more specific in my reply, I am in no way affiliated with www.theunlockr.com and was just trying to be helpful as I recall an explanation between the two on there.
I could only put up the main site as that is all I could remember if it wasn’t any help next time try this www.Google.com

Hang on a minute youth, thats a bit harsh! If you go to 'Unlock my phone' they tell you they can unlock almost and phone. Its definately not spam! Its definately worth a try contacting these guys to see what they can do for us Streak owners.
Well done spences10, thanks for contributing to the community

Android being open has nothing to do with unlocking the phone...
Im talking about the mindset of the developers.

my only guess is to buy a new code
i tried buying a new code on 2 sites and a local shop alll of them returned no code found...one guy told me i would have to leave my phone with him for a week which sounded kind of fishy so i have no clue how to get it

Didn't you already start a thread about this HERE albeit with a different title? I think you should start a third thread on this same topic. Maybe you will magically get the phone unlocked if you do? You have now started SEVEN threads in 48 hours. Keep it up and you may break the record!
Also, had you searched, you would have found multiple threads on this and maybe you could have found your answer there. I guess it is fashionable to keep on starting new threads on repeated topics nowadays. Go HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE!
In case you lose track, below is a list of all your threads. Every single question you asked has been answered many times on this forum and the answer can be easily found with a simple search.
1. hi
2. which root method
3. unlock my x10
4. fw n theme question
5. if i flash will the sim lock be gone?
6. flashed to .24 now its really slow....
7. new imei # after repairs...how do i get this unlocked
thank your for organizing all those threads for me batman very helpful, i'm glad you have took a liking to me you have saved me so much time
the next thread i start will be dedicated to you and your greatness
OMG this is purely spam.... How come someone creates so many threads in so short time... It's like tomorrow he'll wake up and notice that the X10 has a lock screen and will ask what's that for?
Come on stop posting useless threads.... Do some research....!!!!!
I think this should be brought to the Mods Team......

I do not like you nor do I dislike you. But, exercising common sense from someone who is old enough to use this forum is expected. Didn't the fact that your threads have been largely ignored by the more helpful members on here give you a hint? When someone has a real or new problem everyone who can offer assistance usually does. After all, this is the point of having this forum.
However, when you keep on starting repeated/useless/ambiguous threads they will either be ignored by the members or closed by the moderators. In any case, good luck with whatever it is you are trying to find.

Best thing to do is call the people who repaird your phone tell um the old phone was unlocked and they send you a locked phone and you need unlock code they should be able to provide you with that code

thanks a lot now i have clearer ideas.
but is there no way to get root permissions?
sorry but I'm a stubborn Genoese and I want to be able to remove the personalization that gives me vodafone and to do this you need these roots.
I want to clarify that I am not talking about the vodafone brand, so the logo when I turn on etc. but the line that appears above the firmware code VDF.it etc.
Good luck if you find someone let me know lol I have been searching also with no luck lol

hello I wanted to tell you that I tried to call the huawei italia service center directly, who told me that they cannot directly provide the unlock code from their website and try to go to a service center in my city and try to see if they they can give it to me. Do you think it is feasible or stupid?
