Hi All..
I have posted this as a post in many threads.
I have HTC Fuze (AT&T) with the Stock ROM and features.
I purchased this model in US and currently I am in India and tried to use it
I obtained the proper unlock code from AT&T and entered it from the QWERTY Keyboard and also the touch screen entry
But this failed to unlock it.
But I tried unlocking it for 4 times
Later I called AT&T and asked help they asked me to do whatever was done before once from Keyboard and once from screen
Now I get a message stating
"You have tried 6 times so far Please wait untill timeout"
I informed AT&T Regarding this they say Your phone is now permanently locked to AT&T We are sorry for the trouble.
Is ther any way I can do the SIM Unlock and use it for other n/w apart from AT&T.
Please help me in this.

I read in this post ppl have successfully SIM unlocked the Kaiser even after permanently locked to AT&T
Is there anything similar SuperCIDUnlocker for Fuze ?
All suggestions and help appreciated.
I have heard of incidents of Fuze being pemanently unlocked even after proper code entered, the code being provided by AT&T
Now i cant see the option of using Olipro's Unlocker as it has been locked to aT&T and the "OK" button is not enabled

Hello, I am new here. I have been reading for days and days now, and I have come up with a question:
I have a brand new AT&T branded Tilt that I want to unlock. I found the Sim unlocker on the stickie. The question is this, AT&T has already provided me with the unlock code for my IMEI number, so if I just use their unlock code will it stay unlocked forever, even if I flash a new rom to the phone? Are there any benefits to using the XDA Sim unlocker versus the unlock code that AT&T provided to me?? Will I still be able to use the phone anywhere in the world with AT&T unlock code?
And what about those internet sites that claim to unlock your phone for a fee, do they work? Because a friend of mine wants to unlock as well, but is scared of the process found on XDA.
If the AT&T unlock code will work, how do I do it??
Thanks for any help.

The Unlock Code that AT&T gave you should work fine. Once you do a SIM unlock it be will be unlocked forever.
Thanks for the help! What about the internet sites that you pay for the unlock codes, do they work??
How do I use the AT&T unlock code?
Sorry, but I didn't find any info on the wiki about that.
You put in a non AT&T sim card and it will ask you for a code. You enter a valid code and you are unlocked.
All the Unlocker does is find your unlock code due to a hack on the radio.
I wouldn't be suprised if some of these sites that sell unlocking actually wouldn't just sell the instructions available free on this site.
Its very easy for your friend to unlock his device. Just follow the instructions. Now, don't hold be liable but I'd say there is a 99% change of the hack working. I did it fine. Took me maybe 30 mins to read and then follow instructions.
No Worry, i did the same thing and works..
Call AT&T explain that you need to use oversea SIM at different country while you travel as for business. they will ask your IEMI code and email unlock code within 3 business day, i just get mine and work perfectly without worrying screw up the radio cracking method and $$$ free.
Great this was very helpful. I am hoping to purcahse a Tilt from At&t on my US account then use my China Mobile sim while I am living here in China. The reason I want the Tilt is for the Chinese language software Pleco. How has everyones experience been with the stylus and screen on the Tilt. Are there any other At&t based devices that I should look into or wait for?

I used the free SIM unlocker here and it works great. I like the Tilt, stylus works fine, my finger - not so much lol. I'm looking into getting the Fuze.
Dear all i am new captivate owner.Living in pakistan.My captivate is "sim free", but locked to AT&T network.Can anyone tell me how to unlock this phone without AT&T sim card inserted in it.Thanks in advance.
Assuming you have the unlock code, you would insert a Non-AT&T SIM in order to get the phone to prompt you to enter it.
If you already have the unlock code from AT&T, the information at the end of the YouTube video is all you need. As is stated above, start the phone with NO SIM CARD and follow the instructions on the phone's screen.
As AT&T will not release the unlock code to a phone/account that is less than ten months old--with some exceptions--you may be forced to pay for the unlock code if you don't already have it. AFAIK, if you don't have an AT&T account, they will not provide an unlock code to you in any case... although, you may be able to sweet-talk a rep into helping you over the phone. Additionally, there are many "for a charge unlocking services" on the 'Net.
These two links might be of help to you. You'll find a lot of references with a Google search for "unlock samsung captivate at&t" and many on XDA-Developers as well. Good luck.

Hi everyone,
I'm in a bit of a mess with my Samsung S6. I've bought it from ebay and it turns out it's locked to O2. I've tried cellunlocker, unlockthatphone & mobileunlocked and they've all been unsuccessful when trying to provide the network unlock code - stating that the code isn't available for my IMEI.
Is there any other way I can unlock my phone? Or am I going to be stuck on O2 forever?!?!
I had a lot of trouble getting my EE locked S6 unlocked but in the end I found somewhere decent that was able to get the code in less than a day. I used http://www.samsungcodesource.com
How much did you pay to unlock it?
Just an update, I've now tried unlockunit & samsungcodesource as well and they can't seem to find a code either.
When I try to put a different sim card, I'm expecting something to come up to say that the sim can't beused due to a network lock, but nothing appears.
The only time anything appears is when I try to make a call and a popup appears saying "Not registered on network".
Does this mean my device is network locked? Or could it be a region lock or something?
Is there anyway to confirm that my phone is network locked?
Hey quill37,
PM, me I can have it rechecked for you, maybe it is possible to unlock it

Go to O2 and ask for the unlock code.
unlock S6 O2 5.1.1

Hi there, did you manage to resolve your problem. The same thing has happened to me. The bloke stated it was unlocked but its locked to O2 and am on EE. I've tried unlocking it but to no avail. Did you manage to unlock yours?
If you cant unlock by codes, buy the usb method here. Takes only a few minutes once the process starts
Also make sure your phone is not blacklisted. Check it using checkmend here
http://www.samsungcodesource.com have not sent me my unlock code after 72 hrs and they have not replied to any of my numerous emails
I've run into a bit of a roadblock in the process of unlocking my HTC One E8 from Sprint. I called up Sprint and received an unlock code; however, upon inserting my new SIM (T-Mobile), I was not prompted to enter an unlock code. After speaking with Sprint again I was told that the actual unlock process would have to be completed on T-Mobile's end. So, I took the phone to T-Mobile and a representative attempted to unlock the phone but said he couldn't do it (The store was busy so all he tried to do was edit the APN settings, but he was unable to do so and quickly told me he would be unable to assist me further).
So pretty much I am sitting here with an unlock code, but no actual way (or knowledge) of how to use it to unlock the phone to work with T-Mobile. I feel like the answer is quite simple, but after looking through numerous forum posts I have not come across anyone with the same problem or a solution. I fear that my only remaining option is to root/s-off to unlock this phone. As someone who is not well versed in all things technical, I hope that there are other options for me to explore.
Any help at all is very much appreciated!
you have to have s off to order to unlock the phone with any sim carrier
If anyone has experience unlocking a WIND samsung galaxy s6 to use with other carriers I would appreciate it. I have purchased an unlock code for the phone but was unsuccessful in unlocking the network so I can use it on rogers.
The phone is factory restored, not rooted, and running android version 5.0.2 (product code: g920wzdaglw). I have codes for the network, provider and subprovider and tried them all without any success. I do not know how many unlock attempts the phone has remaining before its hard locked but I have tried 4 times. I also have a defreeze code.
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I did not find anyone else having issues unlocking their phones except with T-mobile. I can provide any other information if that helps.
Thank you for the help.
You should go to the shop where you bought your phone and ask for assistance to unlock it. I also don't think that any XDA member or developer here can magically unlock your cellphone. They don't have 'generators' for this purpose, and if, probably it's not allowed to give any unlock codes here.
EDIT: It seems that 10 times wrong code will lock your phone. Be careful.
Thank you for the reply. The phone was purchased second hand. I did attempt to contact wind but it seems the person I spoke with could not help me but maybe I should try once more..
I do not expect xda users to know the codes for my phone. I understand the codes are in a database. However, I am curious if anyone had success unlocking their wind samsung galaxy s6 and if so was there a "different" procedure to unlock it. I am aware previous galaxy phones have slightly modified unlock methods and therefore that might be the case here for my wind samsung galaxy s6.
It is good to know that the phone has 10 unlock attempts however I may have to try reselling the phone to someone who is already on wind rather then risk hard locking the phone.
Take care.
So I was able to finally unlock my Wind samsung galaxy s6 The method was fairly simple and just required inputting the defreeze code first and then the network code.
Here is the link to xda thread where I found the instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/figured-how-to-unlock-gs6-t3086911
Here is the actual procedure I followed (copied directly from the thread linked above) for those interested.
1) Restart the phone with the new SIM Card inserted
2) You should be prompted for an unlock code
3) Enter this DEFREEZE code: xxxxxxxx and press unlock
4) The phone will display “Network Unlock Request Unsuccessful”
5) Enter the NETWORK Code: XXXXXXXX and press unlock
6) Phone should display “Network Unlock Successful”
