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
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200686991308&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
works beautifully

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?

You should ask this questions in the ROM thread.
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

Hi all,
I retrieved a pre-commercial Motorola RAZR HD XT925 simlocked on a french operator.
I want to use it on another french operator, but I get the message "unlock network code" after I enter my SIM PIN.
I tried to get the unlock code from the operator but it doesn't exist in their database since it's a "development" device.
Also tried to buy the unlock service on internet : device not found on Motorola unlock server, either on their specific "not found" server.
Also contacted Motorola without anybody able to find this code.
After searching for days on different forums, i'm running out of ideas.
I'm trying to know if there is any way to get rid of this code asked.
I read a thread on NV_data but I'm not sure if it can be applied on this phone.

I unlocked already the bootloader just in case, flashed an official signed French retail ROM on Jelly Bean.
Any clue or help would be really appreciated.
Do not apply that procedure of RadioComm or any of that, that is for CDMA phones and could potentially leave your device unusable. I unlocked my XT925 buying an unlock code on ebay for $0.99 and it worked just fine.

Thanks for the tip.
After buying unlock codes on many different sites and ebay, one site could succeed in finding a working code : unlockphonenetwork.
I guess they had somehow generic codes working for this particular device.
Issue solved, thanks.
Glad I could help!

I don't have a XT926 but the seller does not works unlocking bootloader, it only gives you unlocks code for the GSM XT925 model. You do realize that unlocking the bootloader has nothing to do with unlocking the phone? If you are looking for bootloader unlocking you should make a new thread or perhaps keep looking to see what you can find, sorry I can't help you out.

Are they going to send a sim unlock code? How did you enter the sim unlock code from them?
