Bought a locked Motorola Atrix 2 on ebay. Unlocked the phone and got the unlock sucessful screen. No when i boot the phone, it directly goes into the emergency dialer screen. I can`t even go into the android setup screen. Is there a hard reset option for the Atrix 2?
You mean sim unlock?????
Hold both ends of volume rocker and power to get your menu with recovery as an option.
Yes, it`s SIM unlocked. Did the hard reset on the phone. Still it goes directly into the emergency dialer screen. I can`t even go into the home screen. Has the seller sent me a IMEI blocked phone?
when u saw the green android screen, press vol up/down together then u should be able to see the recovery option.

I am trying to use it in India. My service provider is called Airtel. It`s a GSM network.
Even without the sim card, It goes into the dialer screen.

With your airtel sim in it should prompt you for the subsidy code or unlock code. If it isnt working you may not have the correct code.

It did not prompt me. I had to type #073887* to get the unlocking screen. I did enter a code bought off ebay. It did say unlock sucessful. But, instead of rebooting it seems to be stuck in the dialer screen.
what about get into recovery mode and do a factory reset?

Tried with and without the SIM card. It does go into the Android home screen for a flash and then is stuck on the Emergency dialer screen.
Hmmm that's interesting. I recently moved over to an Atrix 2. My old Atrix 4g was unlocked as well and I went back to it yesterday and it's behaving exactly the way your Atrix 2 is behaving. On the Emergency Screen with or without a SIM card.

If you unlock the phone, it will still work with the original SIM card.
One possible reason that the other T-Mobile SIM didn't work is that it might not have been a newer 4G-capable SIM card, or the contacts became dirty ( they can easily be cleaned with a pencil eraser).

"Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
and when i turn it to automatic select network it says

Hey,
I've already got my SIm Unlock code (this guide helped me get it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233513 )
However when I placed my non-TMobile Sim, I don't get the "SIM Code" popup. This phone belongs to my godfather and he's not sure if he tried entering the code too many times when he tried to use an AT&T Sim.
How can I check if its permanently locked and/or force it to bring up the Sim code popup?
I'm rooted with S-OFF but still on the stock HTC rom.
Thanks.
Edit: I've done the Diag screen to Clean S58 Data and it's still not showing up.. :-/
Edit 2: Scratch the above. I did the Clean S58 data twice, and I got signal. My godfather will love this!

Branded or unbraded doesn't mean fake or original.
Branded = it came with your sim carrier (any logo of your carrier on it?)
Unbranded= means the opposit
If you have a branded phone, you can use only the sim of your carrier unless you unlock it.
This is why I asked. Good luck!

Is it possible to use the Inspire without a sim card on WIFI for internet and email?
Every Android phone I have ever used has allowed me to "use" the phone without a sim card, but the inspire has a pop up message saying:
phone options
unable to detect your sim card.
Please make sure that your sim
card is properly inserted and
restart your phone.
The only two options that I have are "shut phone down" or "restart", and I have been unable to find a way past this message to use this as a wifi only device.

You should have not an issue to do that....make sure that there's no SIM in the phone or you won't be able to use it. With no sim on it u can access the phone and use WI FI and mail with no problems at all...I am currently using it no sim at all...
theres no sim in it, yet i keep getting that same message....tried rebooting the phone and everything.

I actually just picked this phone up via a trade so my wife could try Android out, so all I can say is that I haven't entered the wrong unlock code as I haven't attempted to unlock it.
Thanks for the help, though, I appreciate it.
yeah easy way is just to run the ace hack kit...it will unlock and root it...THEN you shouldn't have no problem of running it without sim card...very simple and easy to do too
Hello all. I found a thread on how to pull the unlock code off my tmobile galaxy s 4g using the embedded information on the phone. I tried this code with no success so I decided to give tmobile a call to get the code. So today I get an email with the code and it is the same exact one that I pulled off the phone and it still doesnt work. It this point I do not know what else to do. I tried both the apps from the andriod store with no success(helroz/ SGS Unlock) one says null and the other is blank where the code supposed to be. Does anyone have any ideas? My phone is the samsung sgh-t959v tmobile galaxy s which has been ungraded to 2.3.6 via klies mini and is rooted via superoneclick 2.3.3-shortfuse. Any help is appreciated.
Flash back to stock and walk into a T-Mobile store with your phone and the email.
Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development
You need to have a different carriers SIM card to use the code. Find a buddy who has ATT and put that SIM in the phone. Reboot and enter the code. Presto you're now unlocked.

I used a digicel sim card that I have still active in another country (Jamaica) with the sim unlock attemps. The only other sim that I have laying around is an old metro pcs sim thats deactivated. I doubt it is the sim the phone is just not taking the code.

So your running stock/rooted and you've tried another carriers card. OK. I'm not sure whether that SIM has to be able to get connection or not. Next step would be to borrow someones card. I know when I unlocked mine I just popped in an ATT sim. Entered the code and that was it.
So I just got off the phone with customer care. They are saying that the imei on my account dosent match the phone I am requesting the sim unlock for so they have to correct that first before resending the code again. But what I dont get is why when i pull the hex code off of the phone the code matches the first unlock code they gave me. Both these things seem to tell me that the code is correct but why isnt the phone accepting it? I have 5 attempts remaining left and I have tried to reset it from some threads that I see but with no luck. Hope I dont end up with a useless phone. If I run a custom rom on my phone will it unlock it that way?
You need to be on stock to get the phone to accept the unlock code so don't flash anything else.
not to hijack, I'm on remics rom. If i were to put in a sprint sim and enter the unlock code that would not work?

When i enter into network lock through code 2945#*850#, it displays "This phone is permanently locked and cannot be unlocked". So i either cannot unlock it through an unlock code. Is there any other way?
I have the same issue as i think entered codes multiple time. PHONE PERMANENTLY LOCKED..
i found no solution yet.. I think there is no easy method.
This is a great phone & I want to use it longer.
