I'm travelling to Hong Kong tomorrow. AT&T gave me my unlock code. I do not have another sim card to unlock my phone right now, unfortunately. I am running cyanogenmod 7 on my captivate. If I put a foreign sim in will cyanogen still prompt me for my unlock code? Is there some other way to do this?

I have a Atrix 2 AT&T sim locked .If I install a custom rom like Supercharged Atrix, will be unlocked to any network mobile ? I live in Costa Rica, I bought my phone on ebay like new, unmodified and without contract,but I dont have money to buy the unlock code in cellunlocker.net. It is necessary to unlock the bootloader to unlock the sim card ? I Search in all the forum to see if the doubt was resolved but did not find anything.Somebody help me please!!!
No, it's not necessary to unlock the bootloader to have your sim unlocked.
That is a network provider deal.
Our bootloader is currently "UNLOCKABLE".

I don't think installing custom ROM will unlock the phone for all carriers. You have to do unlock separately if you want to use with any provider other than AT&T.
SIM unlock is entirely separate from changing roms, the bootloader and all that stuff.

Currently our bootloader is LOCKED. Installing the SC ROM will not unlock your phone. To unlock it search on eBay for an unlock code. This right now or the only way to unlock your phone.

He means to SIM unlock the phone, not bootloader unlock....
a sim unlock is about $16.00 USD, just search ebay for atrix 2 sim unlock code.
I got mine from here

Hello,
From what I have read if I understand correctly if I root the verizon droid 2 global, then install a custom rom the phone will be unlocked and I can use any provider outside the usa.
Can you confirm if this is in fact correct?
Also I live in Florida but have a german cell phone with a german chip that I use here in Florida. If the above does unlock the phone, when I put my german chip in the phone will it work in the usa or do I need to also do the band unlock first?
Thanks
JB
No. Custom ROMs don't support the SIM unlocking mechanism of the D2G, nor they disengage the SIM lock.
You have to unlock the device with an unlock code to use it with SIM cards that aren't Verizon-issued.
Thank you for the information.
I guess there is no way someone can shoot me a bone and provide the unlock for free since ive been a member for 3 years? It would be appreciated greatly...

The unlock code is specific to each handset, so no-one has one that they can give you.

If it's an unlocked GSM phone, it will work with any GSM carrier. I don't know if your phone is carrier locked or not, though. Also, custom roms don't control which carrier you can use.

You don't need root or ANYTHING to unlock your phone.
1) get SIM that is not the network the phone was originally on
2) buy unlock code from local dealer or trusted ebay seller. You have to give them your IMEI I believe
3) put that SIM in and when prompted, enter unlock code. Phone is now unlocked for any SIM card for eternity

Hello,
I have unlock the boot loader for the Moto G XT1032. If I flash a custom ROM to the phone will it remove the network lock on my phone?
I have tried unlocking but no one can find the code for it.
I have a
Model: Moto G XT1032
Network operator: Not too sure because the phone use a Virgin Mobile sim card (Canada) but the retailer i purchased the phone from said it locked to Bell (canada). The phone kernel says "Bell Mobility".
I have tried unlocking the phone using both virgin and bell and no one can give me the code.
Kernel Version: 173.44.30.falcon_umts.BellMobility.en.CA
Please help.

if you flash a custom rom on your phone it wont unlock the network lock. I also purchased a virgin mobile moto g then i bought the unlock code on ebay and unlocked it to use with rogers pretty much the next day after ordering the code through ebay.
just search on ebay.ca "motorola Moto G unlock code" and youll c a bunch of results. You can ask virgin for the unlock code but theyll likely charge you alot more for it.
happy days and lovely nights.

Hello,
Are you talking about Virgin Mobile in Canada. I a seller on ebay but he said he couldn't get me the unlock code. Could you direct me to who you used.
Also Virgin Mobile in Canada is owned by BELL (canada). What network carrier should I tell the seller especially since my phone kernel said bell mobility

So your phone was using a Virgin Mobile (Canada) SIM card? If so what did you put as your network carrier?

Sorry I don't understand the signature? It doesn't say if it was locked to Virgin Mobile (canada). It also doesn't say what network carrier you used when unlocking the phone.
Could you please let me know
If your phone was locked to virgin mobile (canada)?
What network carrier you used when unlocking your phone (If Virgin Mobile (canada) or Bell (canada))

OK, I don't want to hijack the thread, but I have a very similar issue and would very much appreciate some help.
I've bought a Tesco Moto G, XT-1032, which I've updated from 4.3 to 4.4.2 and is currently running the 176.44.1.falcon_umts.TEscoSL.en.GB update. Still haven't received 4.4.3 but whatever. I plan on using it on the Globul network in Bulgaria.
My issue is that I have tried network unlocking it 3 times - using unlockphone.co, freeunlocks and an ebay key - and failed. The reason with all three attempts was this: "Unfortunately, your unlock code was not available/Not Found on the database/server so I have issued full refund."
I am at a loss. I have successfully unlocked three Moto G's (XT-1032) just a couple of months prior to this one.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? How should I go about solving this issue?
I would very much appreciate some help.
EDIT: I should mention that unlike the original thread, the phone is still 100% stock.
I had simillar problen with code not found in database but there is another database so buy from this guy and from this auction. it is not cheap but it could work. :
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160993247848&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:GB:1123
My problem is that I have installed custom ROM and phone is now not asking for unlock code. I have received unlock code but now I do not know how to enter it. Does anyone know any code for entering this code ?

Model number XT1032 is the Canadian model of Motorola Moto G and rogers, koodo, fido, telus & virgin mobiles offers this model. If it works with bell mobility then, Wipe the phone and do a factory reset. Then order the code here http://phoneunlockingshop.ca with bell mobility. Unlock code for this model are easily available now
Try to use phoneunlockingshop.ca for getting unlock code. because by flashing and rooting it`s network would not unlock
I am thinking about getting Tmobile galaxy s7 to use on Cricket. Can anyone tell if it's sim and bootloader unlocked? I think tmobile s6 was unlocked bootloader and sim.
Thanks.
SIM locked, bootloader unlocked.
SM-G930T 6.0.1
SIM lock doesn't happen until a SIM is put in I believe. That said if you put the Cricket SIM in first it should lick to Cricket.

That's what people are saying, but T-mobile has the app lock on their version. That is part of the software that ships with the phone. Don't believe everything you hear. My SM-G930T came locked to T-mobile.
I'm in the same boat, getting a tmobile s7 for use on cricket.
Unfortunately, it'll come locked, and you'll need to keep it on the network for 40 days before they unlock it for you.
And yet another person on that same boat...
Hopefully we can find a company to remote unlock it. If anyone finds a company that can remote unlock it for a reasonable price, hopefully they can post in this thread
Just because a recovery that isn't meant for your phone can't be flashed on this and because it says Qualcomm secure boot enabled which almost every QC Samsung phone has said does not MEAN THE BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED!!! MY GOD PEOPLE! The tmobile S7 is bootloader UNLOCKED and SIM CARD!
It is as simple as that!!!
Nevermind

Sim unlock is very possible, mine is. You just use the device unlock app by T-Mobile. But no one, I mean no one, on any USA variant has an unlocked bootloader. Unless they work for samsung or simply aren't sharing.

They are equal. Nougat beta doesn't have root. There is a root guide in general. Be sure to follow all steps. There are important ones to avoid lag and battery drain.
