A. You first were talking about root.
www.google.com/search?hl=en&ei=NPzY...lt&cd=2&ved=0CAYQvwUoAQ&q=root+motorola+droid
There.
B. As for unlocking, ANY phone can be unlocked. It's a matter of calling your phone service provider and asking them to unlock it, or buying an unlocked one off ebay.
C. Make sure Sprint can operate with a Droid.
thanks. I had just figured you couldnt just call to get a phone unlocked. I wouldnt understand how an unlocked droid wouldnt work on sprint since sprint and verizon use the same tech(CDMA). How exactly would i go about finding out if it would work with sprint?

You're correct. They do both operate on CDMA. Yes, it's very easy to call and unlock. Tell them you will be traveling internationally and need your phone unlocked.
Opps, forgot to tell you how to find out if it will work with Sprint. Well, Google is nice. Sadly, I can't find anything myself telling me with a definite answer. I would call Sprint and tell them you have an unlocked Motorola Droid and are interested into transferring it to their service. They'll tell you whether or not they can use it. However, I wouldn't tell Verizon you're going to do that. They seem like they might get a little pissy about it.
So I'm heading to Scotland in May on the 20th and was hoping to unlock my new Sidekick 4G before the trip but it seems Tmobile has not updated their systems with the proper unlock codes for the newest device. Samsung has agreed to help me but I need to provide them T-mobiles NCK or Network Control Key. After trying to take to T-mobile to get the key they simply tell me they cannot provide it and will simply input my request to unlock.
Has any one had any luck yet unlocking this or maybe know the NCK that I need to have Samsung do it for me?
Please and Thanks all around I appreciate any and all help!

I'm curious as well...
I'm no expert at unlocking phones, but gutty posted a suggestion: this thread.
It may be possible to do it this way, but I wouldn't be for sure. On the sk4g, the nv_data.bin is located in /efs/root/afs/settings/nv_data.bin
Yeah, if someone could attempt the process at the above mentioned link that would be great. Your other option is to use a third party to unlock the sidekick. unlockallcellular.com is supposed to offer an unlock.
My sidekick will be arriving this week, from the States, so hopefully an unlock will be coming soon. If not, I will try the third party i mentioned and report back if it works.
I don't mean to thread jack, but does anybody know if this phone will be on any other carrier other than T-Mobile? I have AT&T, and I want to get it, but I also want the 3g to work also...
i tried the unlock process... no luck tried to get code from unlock freedom also no luck i need the phone unlocked asap because my gf leaves the country in 2 weeks.
Maybe Try unlockr.com
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App
Its Totally unlockable by code!
BUT you will need to get the code from "Samsung manufacturer" method rather than tmobile. Tmobile database will not have the NCK code.
Try cellunlocker.net , but it can be pretty pricey to unlock that fine pie of machinery
hope that helps!
So just wanted to update everyone whos wondering I contacted T-mo a 2nd time after not hearing anything for a week. They re-submitted my request and within 48 hrs I had my unlock code and did the deed with no issues. Hope this helps those in need.

Do you just call customer service and ask for an unlock code?
YES Tmobile will give you the unlock code for any phone on the following prerequisites
1) that is was used on a Postpaid LINe simcard for a week
2) you fax them the receipt that you bought any tmobile phone unlocked
this is how i did it with my LG Optimus T i got last easter prepaid at $158
Yes!
That's all there is to it.
No fees, No hassle.
Received my unlock code from unlockallcellular.com .
Order was placed, 5/3/2011, received my code, 05/12/2011. Worked fine.
I was a bit upset with the turnaround time, but they blamed T-mobile's database for that.
So, if any of you are unable to have T-mobile unlock the device for you, the company above, can do it fine.

I just got my at&t one mini unlocked today and can receive/send voice and text without issue using a T-Mobile USA sim card. However, I don't yet have any data connection. I was told it could take up to 24 hours so I'll report back tomorrow.
Hooray for me! Just called T-Mobile tech support and they walked me through manually configuring the APN and now I've got voice, text, and freakin' LTE! I was told this phone wouldn't work with our LTE, but it looks like they were WRONG! HTC One mini on T-Mobile USA FTW!

My apologies if this question is foolish, but AT&T says they can't unlock my htc one mini for me, even though I paid for it in full, says there is no unlock code for it. Talk to tech support and everything, and they still deny there is a code available.
So I try ebay and other pay for code websites; probably like 8 of them can't find an unlock code. They have even searched the 'not found' databases.
Is it possible to have a phone that is 'unlockable?" or one that has no code for it? Are there any alternative methods to unlock the sim to use on other networks? I've never had such a hard time finding an unlock code for a cell phone.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide!

As mentioned earlier, this same thing happened to me. The customer service reps don't know why, but their computers tell them they don't have an unlock code. They have to open a "case" for you and some technical guru will call you back with the unlock code.
Keep in mind (I found this out the hard way), unless you root the phone, you won't be able to use the WiFi hotspot feature on T-mobile.

Well...I've done this, opened a case number, and the response was I was not eligable. Said I have to have active service for 6 months before I can have an unlock code. I manage to buy this outright on a gophone account.
Is it possible to software unlock via cable or some alternate method? It doesn't look like AT&T is willing to help me out. I'm not looking to use on T-mobile, I want to use this out of country.

Well I finally managed get an unlock code through AT&T.
Spent and hour last week with tech support, and then a supervisor had to then request the unlock code specially on my behalf to another person higher up. Got a case number and 1 week later this morning got the code. It was a painful process, totally not worth the time. Better to pay for the code.
I had tried cellunlocker.net 2 weeks ago, but I guess the code wasn't available then but is now.
Note to self; don't buy a phone when its totally brand new to unlock, wait a few weeks or months.

Does anyone know if the Verizon version of the Moto G can be easily unlocked and rooted like the GSM version? Knowing Verizon's track record with locked down devices I wouldn't be surprised if it can't be unlocked. I'm thinking about buying one as a wifi/media device for my car, but I'd also like to play around with dev on it so a non-unlockable bootloader would be a deal breaker.

Just to be clear, *all* Moto Gs (GSM) ship with locked bootloaders, even if you buy one that is factory SIM-unlocked, but Motorola offers a way to unlock the bootloader on the phone (for free) via their web site after you register it and request an unlock code. In the U.S., doing so voids your hardware warranty.
So the question isn't whether or not the Verizon model will have a locked bootloader or not. It surely will, as they all do. The question is whether Motorola's on-line bootloader unlocker will work with Verizon-branded CDMA model or not. And at this point, given that it hasn't been released yet and nobody has one, how is anybody supposed to answer that question?

I was able to purchase one last night at my local Best Buy after proving to them that they were in fact somewhere in the store, and waiting for them to call their Verizon rep, I just attempted the bootloader unlock on the Motorola Developer (official bootloader unlock) and I can confirm that it is not eligible for unlock at this time. Huge letdown for me as I was gonna get one for myself soon, but the wife won't really care about it being unlocked so for her it's still a good deal.
I purchased the moto G today and it says it is not eligible for bootloader unlock.
I was able to get past the activation screen and not activate it.
Every time I turn the phone on it does ask for activation. Wish I could get rid of this...
Anybody have a way to unlock the bootloader on the Verizon version?
I am waiting for unlock and root for VZW version too before I get it
Moto-G bootloader...
I was fat and happy to buy a pair of these when they became available in my area, but not being able to unlock the bootloader, and also not able to obtain the code from Circle-M, has forced us to begin looking at other devices, and forget the 'G'.
Too bad, I was really looking forward to expanding its horizons, but not if the game is to maintain a lock on my own device, no thank you!

I believe you can't flash a Boost CDMA phone and use it on Verizon (and vice versa): CDMA phones don't have SIM card to identify carriers; instead the carriers keep a database of admissable IMEI. Boost IMEI obviously not on Verizon's database, in which case you are stuck.

You have to activate it and get a phone number to get past that screen. You dont have to pay anything, just select "pay later" both time it asks you. It'll give you a number and then you can connect to wifi to do the rest of the steps.
Altering the setup app in any way thereafter reboots the phone, so you'll always have the activate app in your drawer. Thanks, Verizon.
Verizon is ONE BIG PILE Horse-Chit.. I hate that company with a passion...
So I moved my Family to T-Mo and bought 2 Nexus 5's and 2 Moto G's!

They are the most archaic, backward and Xpensive carrier in North America

So I've been waiting to permanently Unlock my LG G STYLO, however when I go to device Unlock app, it says my device is not compatible to try again later or contact customer service. Turns out I can't have my phone rooted and ask for a permanent unlock. I know its just so I can switch carriers. Did anybody find another way to unlock your phone with root? I have metropcs.
How long have you had your phone? I think you have to have it for at least 90 days to be eligible for unlock with MetroPCS.
Going with 4months however it states online I have to be unrooted so it can unlock.

I had the same unlock issue.
It depends on where you got the phone. I purchased it via Walmart, and was not on their (Walmart) service plan on tmobile network but on tmobile 30 prepaid plan. Tmobile will not unlock it without Walmart plan contacting them......big pain in the bass......since I was a tmobile pre paid customer using their sim in the walmart stylo phone.......finally after multiple attempts I was able to make the unlock it for me
If you are on Walmart phone and plan
Then you have to contact Walmart plan and request unlock code and meet their requirement for unlock
If you bought the phone directly from tmobile/metro then you must meet their mim requirement for unlock.
Hope this helps

i work for metro pcs. just brick your phone some how and take it to any store and say it wont turn on. they will do a warranty for you. only cost $15 to do it.. then when you get the exchange in then do the unlock app,,
also i have the same phone and i had to call customer service to get them to activate the unlock app
I unlocked via the t-mobile after troubling them for a good week
I am having a somewhat similar situation. My G Stylo is on Metro PCS. I have had it since its release which is well over the 90 day eligibility period for the unlock. But when I tried to use the Device Unlock App it keeps saying my device is not eligable. But that's not the issue because I contacted Metro PCS and after they verified that I'm eligable they gave me the unlock code themselves. However here is where my issue comes in. I can't access the menu to enter the code. I tried putting in a different Sim (which usually works) but instead of asking for an unlock code I only get a window popping up that tells me to use the unlock app. I then tried a dial code to access the hidden menu but in that menu I don't see an option for Network or Sim unlock. And I called Metro PCS back and their troubleshooting efforts to get the Device Unlock App to work were unsuccessful.
Does anyone know of a way to access the Network Unlock menu to enter the unlock code?
Thanks
Cant enter unlock code on Lg G Stylo. Only the Network provider has to unlock. Keep troubling them and they will do it
I have a G Stylo I bought (Walmart Family Mobile) while visiting US. When I bought it, I knew I had to stay for almost 2 months in US and then return to Europe(where I live). Due to some personal matters I had to return earlier (after 3 weeks).
When I got in Europe I tried the T-Mobile unlock app and they granted me 30 days of temporary unlock. Everything was fine till this deadline expired and afterwards, the local SIM card (O2) wasn't accepted anymore.
The unlock app doesn't allow me to do any kind of unlock (nor temporary nor permanent).
I contacted twice T-Mobile US customer support to be able to get at least some additional temporary unlock but when they checked the US phone number they said I should ask about temporary unlock to Walmart Family Mobile support (which is really crappy. Only automatic phone support for paying bills and not much more).
I also tried purchasing an unlock code (from one of the sites offering them). Even though I paid for it and I got the code, there's no way for me to enter it in the phone.
When I start with the O2 sim card I only get in the beginning a message saying "Network Lock" with an OK button (photo attached)
The site where I bought the code gave me a few dial options to try out in order to somehow make the network unlock menu appear but none of them worked.
For example, when I dialed "2945#*631#", after the last "#" all the digits typed till then are deleted and no menu appears.
What should I do?
I paid some Indian dude on Ebay to unlock my MetroPCS stylo. 3 days and $26.95 later, I unlocked it through the unlocker app and switched over to the 30 dollar T-mobile plan. Definitely worth that money.

I tried a few times to get in touch with T-Mobile customer support but once they checked my phone number they said I should address Walmart Family Mobile support.
I couldn't find any mail or live chat to get in touch with Walmart's support.
The Walmart support is just some automated system that tells me I have to pay the latest bill in order to get support. This happens once I dial my US phone number. Rather than pay my last bill (~$25) and maybe try afterwards to see if they can unlock my phone, I would better pay this to have it unlocked once and for all.

Thanks for the all the details.
Unfortunately it's not MetroPCS and I had it active for less than 91 days. The initial plan was to stay in US for a few months but in the end I had to return to EU after 3 weeks.
I 100% agree with you that most of the time when dealing with cust. support you have to make a few calls until you get somebody with a bit more skills than the rest.
