Way to get traction on an interop unlock? - Nokia Lumia 800

Hey everyone,
Just had an idea today that we should pledge donations to Heathcliff74 if he could get us an interop unlock for the Lumia 800. I think he was very close to getting it before the Network Setup software got updated. I personally would throw in $30 for it, anyone else willing to do the same?
Also, if anyone could explain to me how to dump apps off of a phone, I could provide a copy of Network Setup 1.13.0 for the tinkering types to have a go at.

He got given a free Nokia Lumia 800 a couple of weeks ago as did four other top xda developers/hackers so I'm pretty sure it and other projects are being worked on as we speak.

[Q] Unlocking an AT&T 920?

So, I have some relatives who lives in the US who can buy me a cyan 920 in December which is unavailable outside the US. The US pricing is also impressive since the no-contract version costs just $449 unlike the actual version that will come here (Indonesia) at about $649 and by about January or something. I also found this website which can unlock the 920 for $49.99. Should I take the plunge?
http://www.cellunlock.net/Unlock_AT_T_Nokia_Lumia_920_p/unlockattn920.htm
I would do more research on the internet to see if the website is actually legit. The places I get my unlock codes are from eBay from Top Sellers.
For the AT&T Lumia 900, they have unlock codes on eBay, but you have to complete the two year contract.
There might be a way to unlock the phone.
If your relatives can call AT&T confirming you can get the phone unlocked if they buy it outright (full retail price)
I think you should be able to get it unlocked if you pay full price.
Also I found this site who afirm they will unlock it too.
http://www.gsmunlockusa.com/u-s-a-at-t-nokia-lumia-610-710-800-820-900-920(1-3-days)-p-908.html
Hope someone can try and confirm if this one is a trusted site.
Unfortunately, AT&T is not being very helpful regarding unlocking the 920. Even when paid full-price. I don't intend on actually buying the phone with contract, but I just want to know if you guys have similar success/fail stories since this will be the first time for me to unlock phones. (also the reliability of the websites would be awesome)
PS. I also wonder where these websites get the unlock codes from, and what would happen if those codes would not work.
when the first generation of Windows Phones arrives, i bought a Samsung Focus V1.3 (which is my actual phone) and i get the unlock code from FastGSM. I ask them for the unlock code for Lumia 920 and i get this response:
Hello,
sorry but the unlocking service is not available yet for this phone model.
Kind regards,

the word "yet" makes me think that unlock codes arent far away.
Cellunlock,net is reputable website - I have gotten unlock codes for many a phone through them. Only once, they were not able to get an unlock code for me, but they refunded my money promptly.
For the AT&T 920, they do claim a turnaround time of 5-10 days. I'm not sure why it is so long, but do you want to wait that long to find out?
BTW, if you do decide to go with Cellunlock.net, use the code "CRACKB50" for 50% off on the unlock price.
Hope some AT&T Lumia owner try to unlock it. If they unlock it, i can buy my own lumia and use it in my country with no risk. BTW, using the voucher code from rajeshr the unlock code cost 19.99.
Edit: I found other service for unlock rogers devices
http://unlock.canadagsm.ca/nokia/Nokia-Lumia-920-LTE-network-unlock/
don't know if canadagsm is a trusted site, but again, some one can try it.

Reputable site, but they don't have any unlock codes as yet. I got an email from them this morning stating that and asking me to wait for another 2-3 days. I guess we'll wait and see.

ive had two lumia 920's and ATT actually sent me the unlock code for the first one! However, I think the CSR made a mistake when submitting my request, because when I received the unlock code it says its for a Lumia 900.
Did it work? I'm not sure because I have already exchanged the phone for another color!
I submitted another request for the second phone, but promptly received a notice saying they wont unlock because of the exclusivity period.
@rohitgarewal: How did you ask for the unlock code and for what reasons?
@BigwaveMx: Were you able to use tethering with other carriers after the unlock?
Thanks, btw for the replies!
i haven't (yet) a lumia 920. Still waitting to buy the unlock code for use it in my country. However, I read in some places that there is a problem with tethering in AT&T and Rogers devices. For me, is not a big deal have tethering. I bealive the international version works fine.
Hi
Hi, anyone got the unlock code? What do you think about that: ht t p : / / blogs.msdn.com/b/zxue/archive/2012/11/11/sim-pin-and-pin-unlock-key-puk-code-on-your-nokia-lumia-920.aspx Developer unlock, is this work?
Got 20 digit code from ATT
I called and requested an unlock code to use the phone while traveling abroad (Bought the phone at full price). I did get an 20 digit unlock code but it didn't work. Called them back and they said they will send a new request. I'll let you know how it goes.

I don't think the developer unlock is the same as network unlock. From what I read on that link, developer unlock allows you to sideload (using an Android term; i.e. not from the market) apps for development and testing. It does not say anything about unlocking the phone for other carriers.

Any news about the unlocking for AT&T devices? Still looking for a cheap unlocked Lumia but can't find anything cheapper than $777 US
Expansys USA is apparently selling the AT&T branded 920 unlocked for $620. Can't post links yet, not enough posts. It is recently went from "We have no confirmed lead time for this item" to "Stock Usually Ships In 10 Days." This looks like a very attractive choice, if you don't mind the att logo I'm considering buying one of these.
Ok, i will check it. Thanks for the heads!
I found a new service to unlock AT&T lock. Sadly I haven't any IMEI code to test. Maybe someone can try it. Btw, I doesn't know if is a trusted site.
http://www.unlockitnow.com/Nokia/Lumia_920_unlock_code.php
I've been emailing every site I find that says they can unlock the phones..
So far they have all replied negatively.
I just emailed your site and I'm waiting on a reply now.
I also called AT&T and gave them a sad story.. hoping that they would sympathize with me and give me the code.
That didn't work either
After I get a response from these guys.. I'll post up a list of all the sites I've tried.

working SIM unlock guide ?

none of the posts in this forum are related to unlocking the phone - it is just a bunch of paid links for a "maybe" working unlock service
where are the applications to do the actual unlocking - why no one is giving proper unlocking tips ?
Please post here only if it is actually working unlock software or guide - NONE OF THE PAID CRAP PLEASE!

Read the other threads. The only way to get an unlock code for an AT&T Lumia 920 is if you are an AT&T customer and push the customer support really hard. There might be some other requirements such as being on a business account too. I am on a business account with AT&T and was able to get a 920 unlocked after spending an hour with the customer support.
Any site claiming to be able to unlock an AT&T Lumia 920 is a scam, plain and simple. Third parties MAY be able to after May 9th.
not a AT&T customer - T-Mobile UK
problem is that here on this site was always the place you can find the tools to free you phone but for Nokia Lumia 920 there no useful posts for SIM unlock.

There is no problem, there just is not any unlock codes for the Lumia right now. Unless you are an ATT customer and no longer under contract you will not be able to unlock your phone. Your best bet is to get a Rogers version which is already unlocked as stock.
As you said all the sites for the 920 are scams and those claiming they have done it are working for or being paid by those same sites.

I believe the point here has nothing to do with carriers, but software plug in to generate code from phone directly.

Nothing exists yet. Only carriers / Nokia has the codes at this point.
flash new firmware
So
Just to get things clear
say I have a locked Lumia 920 (EE carrier UK)
if I will flash a new firmware with NaviFirm+ 1.7 and Nokia Care suite
Like RM-821 GLOBAL WHITE SWAP (059Q5C7)
wouldn't it unlock the sim lock?

Firmware has no affect on the SIM. The SIM controls what carrier you connect to as it is the SIM that you actually are paying for in your contract. So in answer to your question, you can flash till your heart goes poof, it will make no difference. The phone will still be locked to what ever carrier the SIM was programmed for.
yes - flashing it not going to remove the SIM lock -already try few times
I wonder how many of you have heard of JTAG.
Too bad most people dont seem to know how to use it (or can afford that kind of equipment).
I would try to find a "unlocker" who you can actually talk too (face to face). I personally would use an online unlocker too BUT, it just seems weird having asian people try to convinve you they are american citizens, selling %100 authentic unlock codes. I also see bad reviews.
My Advice:
Look for some guy (or girl) who works at a phone carrier station store (one that sells multiple brands of phones). Perhaps they can JTAG Unlock or Factory Unlock your phone.
OR
Go to your phone carrier (not the one locked to the phone) In person, and explain how you have this locked phone but would LOVE to use it on their service. If they refuse, just keep asking "why not?". Try to justify your use on their service (meaning, tell them that they are supposed to be obligated to unlock).
OR
If you are really bent on getting a carrier unlock, go to the locked carrier and then tell them you accidentally purchased the phone second hand, thinking it would work with your network. If they refuse to unlock (under any terms or licence) then ask for a refund. If they refuse, then get mad. They just ripped you off.
OR
Contact customer support of the manufacter of the phone. Explain that both your, and the phone's locked carrier refuse to unlock, and you feel that their brand (the phone's) is really dissapointing to you. Most companies used to give free stuff to sad or rageing customers for free - perhaps you can get an unlock.
In the end: The truth will set you free. Unlocking should be free, but as time goes on, codes become more complex.
Good luck getting a free unlock. Im not saying its impossible, but it is all about time, money, branding, and customer satisfaction. And believe it or not, that all costs money. They (the locked carrier) lose money everytime someone hacks, exploits, or JTAGs their devices, which is why they usually come priced by duration of service or fixed fees.
Hope this helps. My texting hands are tired!

FINALLY!!!
Well, on my 4th call to ATT customer service I managed to get the rep to open a case, he gave me a case number and said I should be receiving an email within a week with my unlock code because I purchased the phone outright and it is not tied to my contract!!! you see, I dont have att service but my in-laws do, for a long time now....So, I called about 4 days ago and said I had a new phone that my children (impersonating a 60 yr old woman) bought for me because they knew how much I hated my current phone, so I registered it on my account and what not, then I explained to the rep that I was traveling to europe and that I needed to use my phone there with a local carrier because I did not want to incur any extra expenses with att, they then proceeded to ask for my IMEI and then to tell me that my phone was not eligible to be unlocked because there was an agreement between Nokia and att, I asked what should I do, that I couldnt believe that I had to purchase a phone in europe, that I was with att because of their 'easy ways' etc......I was transferred to another rep who just explained in detail why the phone could not be unlocked and told me that I should try to "rent a phone"......I initially stated that I was staying in europe for about one week and I was very very nice!, well, they would not help me. TODAY I called with a NOT SO NICE ATTITUDE, i stated that I was traveling to europe and would be staying for maybe 5 months, that I had called previously and was told that I could not be helped but that a friend of the family which was in my same circumstance, had his phone unlocked, so I was calling back because of this, because I had been with att for about 10 yrs and I needed to be able to use my phone, blah blah blah.... well the lady rep told me that my phone was not eligible to be unlocked (after i provided my imei), that I had not met the requirements for this, which were to have the phone for at least 1 year, etc.... I told her that the phone was purchased outright from my children who knew how much I hated the phone THAT WAS TIED TO MY CONTRACT, well, the rep started to get nasty and i did as well, I told her to transfer me to a superior which she did, then, I got a male rep on the phone who was very nice and basically explained to me in depth what this other lady said, I then said that I did not understand how other people that have not been with att for so long have been able to get the unlock code when traveling abroad, and I am not being helped, etc etc.... he then said that because there is an exclusivity agreement and the phone is tied to a contract that I could not have it unlocked, then I explained that the phone that I purchased on the contract was my older one, that the lumia was given to me by my children and that they paid around 500 dlls for it, that to please escalate this to the unlock team who sent my 'friend' an email unlocking his device, then the rep said that he was going to open a case to see if they could help me since i purchased the phone 'outright'!!
......SO, now I just have to wait!! hopefully it works out!!!!
SORRY FOR THE LONG POST BUT ALL OF THIS POINTS TO:
1) Find a friend or family member that is in good standing with att and ask them if you can impersonate them
2) KEEP CALLING THEM!!! You'll get there in the end..... It only took me 4 phone calls!
I will let you know if it works!!! :fingers-crossed:
p.s I just could not wait until May 9th, blame it on my ADHD!!!!!

[Q] Bounty - HSPL for TITAN II

I have read a lot of threads while searching for a way to fully unlock my Titan II as a lot of people are trying to use their unlocked phones on other carriers. I too am one of those people and would like to officially start a bounty thread for the Titan II.
I know that DFT was the one who created it for the legendary HD2 which I am a proud owner of.
I would like to post a $50 bounty via paypal to the one who cracks the Titan II and adds the database for the HTC Connection Setup. I don't know if it can be ported over from the HD2, but it doesn't seem like it wouldn't be possible. Either that or any other way to unlock the apn settings for mms provisioning.
Please join me in my quest to fully unlocking this AMAZING device and proving that we don't need to be tied down by the chains of tyranny due to oversights by manufacturers, providers and software manufactures because WE THE PEOPLE are capable of standing on our own,
Who's With ME????
Thanks for getting the ball rolling. Some reason I feel like there are a good amount of people out there with HTC titan 2's (myself included), but there's no dev support for it really.
Many have said that it should be quite easy since other than the camera and addition of LTE, it's essentially very similar. But who knows, I'm not a developer,

I understand your frustration; I really, really do but think about this; name me one Windows Phone that has followed the HTC Titan (Eternity) that has been successfully HSPL'd? Answer - None! There will never be another device manufactured like the HD2 and I fail to see the logic behind locking these devices down so tight there is no joy in owning a device which you're at the mercy of the WP Marketplace. All that said, development is dead for Windows Phone 7.x and like it or not while Windows Phone 8.x isn't perfect it is slowly grabbing traction with market share now at 5.6% and as of April has risen faster than Android. I have waffled back and forth as to try and sell my HSPL'd Titans while I can still get some value out of them or wait it out until Windows Phone 9 is released or abandon Windows Phone altogether. I bought my wife the HTC One (M7) and I guess I got lucky because it is one sweet piece of hardware and I bought the developer's edition and to help my wife learn the device I loaded Launcher 8 to give her the same start menu she was familiar with on the Titan. For the moment I'm eyeballing the Lumia 925 if it in fact pans out it's pentaband.
Fully support this bounty, but you're a little too late. It's all about wp8 now. No development is going to be done on a past device os. MMS is solved by the app SwapChat. No one picture texts.. just SC's

I'm not familiar with that app but there is an alternative now for AT&T compatible radios, but you will need Nokia's Network Setup to make the manual edits. We had a solution in the past but discovered using Consumer Cellular gave us MMS but did not give us the ability to use cellular data completely unrestricted. You can uninstall HTC Connection Setup if you opt this route. Carortruck, it is doubtful there will be any further development of the Windows Phone 7.x platform with the exception of an update to 7.9. It is unclear what this update will entail though many who have responded to Microsoft asking for Bluetooth and Skype to run in background. There are quite a number of 3rd party apps that will run APIs of branded apps, my personal favorites are MetroTalk and MetroRadio and of course, Skype.

I have tried to find a way to install nokia's connection setup but am unable to figure out how to spoof the marketplace to let me download it. On my hd2, I also used consumer cellular and know that trick, but the htc connection setup on the titan 2 only has at&t in the database. I was thinking of developer unlock to sideload a registry editor or load an xml file that would have the settings in it, but it seems like there is an easier way.
I have switched back to my gs2 even though I LOVE the way the windows phone feels. It's so stable and smooth, but I am at a crossroads here. I can live without tethering and want not.
As far as api's, I use graffiti radio for my Pandora. I really just want my mms unlocked.

I want you to open the APN settings inside your settings...and simply add "att.mvno" on the APN line....everything else is blank! Continue to use Consumer Cellular. The downside is these settings will disable mobile data to Bing and Map Search. Registry Editor won't help you here. Being that you have the Titan II it is not possible to install the Nokia Network Setup app which the HTC Connection Setup is not required but HTCCS will work as long as you configure your settings properly.

The HTC Titan I (Eternity - PI39100) was the last of any of the Windows Phone 7.x devices to be developer-interop unlocked and even during their development the bootloaders changed making near the end of production many of these devices unable to be unlocked other than subsidy (carrier) unlocked. I'm torn between staying with WP8 and buying the Lumia 1520 or going over to the dark side and buying the HTC One M7 or M8 so I remain with my devices for the time being realizing they're likely to become worthless before I once and for all sell them. I continue to own a HD2 that I stuck a 64 gig card in running NativeSD; we'll never see another device like that one, what a shame.

Tethering AT&T

Currently I'm on a galaxy s2 skyrocket with AT&T. When I go to class, I use the internet from my phone for my laptop since my phone was rooted, I don't pay any extra or anything and I grandfathered in the unlimited internet. I was wondering if I could do this with a lumia 920. my contract just ended and I need to know this before I buy it

hmm, other than the tethering, what does flashing different regions change?
The lumia will actually poll your account and see if tethering is enabled on it. If it is not, the lumia will not allow you to tether.

Could be everything. I don't know. You may lose LTE. Or you could brick your phone altogether if the firmware is not compatible with the AT&T version.
Interesting stuff: I have unlocked Lumia 920 (DevKit I won on MS contest), European version. By arrival, I can't share internet - handset displays standard message "call *611 to enable balh-blah" (BTW, it's stupidest limitation! Greedy bastards from AT&T don't let me share my internet on my own handset, wanna some money for nothing!).
However week later, after installing a bunch of OTA updates from Nokia, one day I've realized - internet sharing is working! I was really happy, tested that option and it works perfect.
But... my happiness didn't last long Two days ago, my Lumia 920 received another OTA from Nokia; after that update, everything "back to normal" (i.e. abnormal!) - same stupid message...

The dev kit 920 is a different story. I have one and knew it well. Out of box, it will not allow tethering to AT&T but if you install any foreign language keyboard that requires a download, it will work. That is until Nokia updates 'Access Point' app. Then, you have to try a different keyboard again or you can just ignore and refuse to update 'Access Point' app.
This is different than AT&T branded 920 where there is no known work arounds.
Hey, man, thanks a lot - trick with installing new keyboard that requires a download (I've installed some Chinese input method and removed right after update) works! I've got my internet sharing back
He-he, DevKits are really great handsets!
BTW, could you share some other tricks (if any)? Like an unlocked bootloader or other way to get interop unlock?

Hey, man, thanks a lot - trick with installing new keyboard that requires a download (I've installed some Chinese input method and removed right after update) works! I've got my internet sharing back
He-he, DevKits are really great handsets!

Don't hold your breath. No one has ever managed to unlock the bootloader on any of the lumia series phones.
You can't enable tethering in wp8 without at&t on 920. Unlike on android phone that's rooted.

Unlock UK Lumia 920?

Evening,
I'm trying to find a website that charges reasonably for unlocking lumia 920 but I'm struggling. Anyone know a website that will unlock my phone quickly for a good price?
My phones is directly from Nokia and I need it unlocking ASAP. Nokia is shut til Monday.
Thanks
Even if you find a site, based on recent post since the rush has settled, most site are taking between 3 and 7 days now. So just wait for Nokia to open Monday.
