How do I unlock my Atrix? I got the unlock code form ATT...
I am not sure what to do now with it.... can anyone help me out?
I just wanted to do a SIM unlock so I can user other SIMs with it. I dont care about unlocking the bootloader and rooting and all the jazz on this phone.
You really should have searched first. This is by far not the first time this has been asked.
If you want to use it with a non-AT&T SIM card, then why don't you just put the other SIM card in?

I tired searching around but I did not find what I was looking for.
I dont have another SIM card to put in my old Atrix yet. If I did would be prompted for that unlock code the lady gave me?
Yes.

Hey guys,
Im gonna be going overseas and I called ATT about an unlock code and they provided me with one with my atrix, however I cant try to unlock it until I get a sim card for another carrier.
I wont be able to do that for a couple days, but I am just wondering one thing. They told me all I have to do is put in a different sim card and reboot the phone and a pop up will show up asking for an unlocked code.
Will this work with Cyanogenmod 7 installed as I currently have it, or do I need to revert to the stock 2.3.4 to unlock the phone?
Thank you
Logically yes; there's no other way to remove the sim lock other than having the code so cm7 or not, it's still there.
My logic though, don't come complaining if it didn't work out! :-$
I have a backup phone and I dont remember the PIN I used. I previously rooted the phone and installed an ICS ROM (plus a bunch of apps) so I dont want to wipe the phone and start over. Is there any way for me to bypass the PIN lock? I am hoping that since I rooted it this is possible!
Ask to your operator, from the phone side you can't do anything
What about this method? Has anyone been able to get it to work? Keep in mind that the old phone is rooted. I would rather not wipe the phone so I am hoping to find a good solution.

After 5 incorrect tries, I think the phone allows you to sign in with your Google Account

Do you mean you've locked the SIM card or the phone?
If it's the SIM card, you need to speak to the provider to get a PUK code
If it's the phone, you can unlock it by logging in with your Google account after 5 attempts as posted above

Not the SIM, just the PIN code for the phone itself.
hello everyone,
been out of the scene for a while, and I just sold my dell streak, however, the new owner cannot use his new dell streak as its locked to AT&T. I obtained an unlock code from them by calling them, but the streak is on MIUI and the menu that ask for the unlock number does not come up, is there any other way to do this? do I have to flash an original android firmware to it? Thanks in advance.

you said it is sim unlocking... therefore (usually) it is phone related locking... not from at&t... there should be a menu for security > sim card lock
im just trying to unlock the phone to be used with TMobile, it is locked to AT&T not sure if it's phone or sim. AT&T gave me a code to unlock it but when I insert the sim the menu to unlock it doesn't pop up

open Settings > Security and search for something similar to sim card lock... you should get something from there...
if you get nothing.. most probably the phone is network locked... my phone is network unlocked where i can insert any sim... and it does have sim card lock in case there is someone else want to use the phone and use another sim card in it...
If you mean CARRIER unlocking and not the sim card itself, you have to install a stock rom. Sim unlocking isnt exactly something that can be easily tested on a custom rom, so that's your only reliable way of doing so.
If you mean the actual sim card itself, cant help ya
anyone care to share some rom links, all the ones ive tried dont work or a whole bunch of ads come up.

I am in a foreign country and trying to get service. I have was not familiar with sim cards changing before this. So I put in the new sim card and when it was asking for my unlock code for my phone I kept typing in my sim card phone number.....
Then I realized it was the code for un-locking the device. I then paid to get an un-lock code and when I type it in after placing the sim card in it fails every time.
After doing some research online it sounds like if I failed ten times it hard locks. Is there anyway to break the hard lock so I can type in the right code to unlock my phone?

You should try asking in the HTC One forum.
Which HTC One is it? You might be able to unlock via root + S-off + config.dat unlock.
I have looked for 3 days to find out how to unlock my huawei y536a1 without a sim card. I did what you all said and have the unlock code for it but everything says to put a different sim card in and i dont have one. I'll admit i have no clue what im doing.
