Wrong forum.... Atrix 2 is the MB865. I believe the phone you have is an Atrix 4G

you cant unlock sim by rooting
you can unlock sim by buying code on ebay for $0.99 though, if your phone has at&t logo on it.

Rooting and Sim unlock are unrelated to each other. You need to purchase a sim unlock code (or go through AT&T) to unlock the GSM carrier.
That sucks...for a HTC inspire phone, i was able to unlock and root at the same go using the software from xda

You mean root and unlock.... the bootloader?
Totally different "unlocking" of the phone.
As souljaboy & moofree said, the subsidy (carrier, SIM, whatever) unlock is only through the carrier (like AT&T) or buying a code online..
Sent from my phone's mind
As alteredlikeness told you there are different kind of unlocks
1) Sim Unlock: so that you can use any sim card, you can get the code from the network provider that you bought the mobile from, alternatively you can get the code at ebay or any other local sim unlock experts, I assume you are from India, like here in Hyderabad there are few in Jagdish Market, only few of them are legit like Metro Mobiles.
Then there is the dreaded 2) Bootloader and it's unlocking: With which we can flash (install) custom kernels and thus CyanogenMods, MIUIs, AOKPs and all..
and I humbly let you know that, if you are talking about Sim unlock procedures, this is not the place to come, XDA is all about mods, ROMs, Bricks(!) and everything in between.
and if you are talking about Bootloader unlock, unfortunately the hard working devs here have not found a way yet to unlock it, really hope that they will eventually prevail.
and either way, just merely rooting doesn't unlock anything, either network lock or bootloader, rooting is a process where you get superuser access.. which is kind of Admin access to your Windows OS, which is required to install few apps and also to dig down into the android OS.
Thanks for listening! have a great day.

I have had an Inspire for some time now, and I rooted it with one of the original kits from here way back when. I cannot remember the specific kit.
I have a hunch that the kit may have included a sim unlock, but I cannot recall fully.
I would like to confirm my phone is unlocked, as I will be travelling to Europe soon and want to use a prepaid sim (I am aware the Inspire will only be able to use EDGE data). Is there some method to do this? I am aware that you can try a sim from a different carrier, but I am in heavy Verizon country, and as far as I know, my friends all have Verizon (no sim cards) or AT&T.
I tried a sim card from an old Cingular phone. The Inspire didn't complain, but it didn't connect to the cell network, either.
The very nice post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352 is a root method with sim unlock. Is there a way I can just perform the sim unlock, since the phone is already rooted? I would have asked this simple question there, but the forum system will not let me .
All the rooting methods had simunlock, ur should also be unlocked.

You most likely have to unlock the phone to use it on other carriers, the code may or may not be free.
Or you can use SIM unlock method by gfree, free of charge.

There have been a lot of issues with the MT4G not unlocking 100% with gfree....best bet is to get an unlock code and then root or do whatever you want for mods.
Just my two cents

Where to get unlock code? I have my my4g now
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA Premium App
If you use the gfree method, you don't need an unlock code.
METHOD 1: I purchased an unlock code that wroked first try....
COST $22
I would like to share my experience for those who do not want to get scammed.
IT WILL TAKE 24 hrs AT LEAST with these guys so don't set your pants on fire waiting !!! I have used this site for all my phones.
Send an email [email protected]. Send IMEI and carrier details, country of carrier.
Then use code to unlock. If you need help entering code please post back.
METHOD 2: I HAVE NOT TRIED THIS. BUT There is another method to unlock the phone using a USB hack. This has worked for most people who tried it. It involves running software on your computer to replace the unlock code location via USB with zeros. This method is covered here in more details:

User experience is also available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25480419#post25480419
The ebay method seems to work for now. it can run from $15 -$17.
GreetingS!! A noob here what is the benefit of have the phone unlocked? Can I removed the bloatware?

Nope. Unlocked is when you can use it on a carrier other than At&t. With the skyrocket you have to buy an unlock code. Bloatware is removed in custom roms.

Welcome !
They are different things. Unlocking is SIM card unlocking that then allows you to use your phone on any GSM network.
Removing bloatware requires "rooting". You get access to system files etc. allowing you to modify the software on there.
This a good starting point for Skyrocket to modify software:

I guess then that means its already unlocked.. When u put in a different Sim card does it connect to Internet is it working on it?
Does the non accepted sim register? Are you on a stock rom?
You have to be on a stock-based gingerbread ROM.

Stock ICS works as well. Was on Skyics had to revert back to stock for it to prompt the code requisition screen. All is well now. On a different note if on att in good account standing call and have them open a case number requesting for imei based unlock code even if they tell you code not availabile. Can get it free of cost.

If I recall correctly, when you put in a sim from another carrier and boot the phone, it will give you a message indicating it is locked and give you the option to enter the unlock code.
Good luck!
If one was wanting Tmobile, wouldn't you have to flash the modem? My phone is also unlocked but don't have a sim card to test it on tmobile

I just wanna root it so I can delete all the bloatware but I'm afraid my phone will not reconize the service of verizon wireless since I'm unlocking the bootloader. I just wanna know, if I unlock my bootloader, can I still place phone calls, text, and use data like if nothing ever happened

lol thank you, i'm not new to rooting or unlocking bootloaders from virgin mobile but I am new on unlocking bootloaders from verizon so thanks
Bootloaders shouldn't affect service at all. Its not like a radio or anything. Also for clarification, in order to flash anything at all the bootloader has to be unlocked. Everyone on this forum has unlocked at some point.
