hi
I have a motorola razr xt 925 from carrier SFR Vodafone. it has a sim lock so i cannot use it as I am in India.
I just wanted to know, whether I can install a ROM from a different carrier, say verizon, so that i can use it in India at GSM frequecny.
Or is there any other reliable way to unlock the sim lock??
need to unlock your sim via a service, usually around 10 bucks for xt925

Installing ROMs from another region won't unlock the phone. Two different issues.

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,
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))
thanks

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

Well carriers branded phones are locked to their original carrier. I guess you can sim-unlock it the usual way (using a sim-unlock code purchased from a reliable website of your choice e.g doctorsim.com).
And btw since your thread is a question, you should have posted this in the Q&A section
Oops, didnt read correctly
Call sprint customer service, ask to be transfered to 'international' , then ask the person to unlock your A9. Its that simple! I have a telcel sim in my sprint A9 right now!

Unfortunately I can't. I think the true owner of the phone is required for unlocking it. I need different ways to unlock it. Can I just install another samsung s8+ firmware to this phone?

Can i just flash a rom that is SM-950FD to this phone? This rom has a dual sim feature but the SC-03J only has one sim. Will this work? i mean its okay even if its just one sim i just want it to work on my country.

No. There's no firmware or ROM that will SIM unlock it.
You'll need to have the original owner unlock the phone for you OR purchase the phone already unlocked - no software can unlock it for you.
Docomo and Softbank are extremely strict when it comes to unlocking a phone, you need to have an account with them for a few months, pay off the phone, and you'll be able to unlock the phone. If you don't then having it unlocked *remotely* is out of the question unless you sent it to someone who can unlock it for you.
Sorry to revive the thread after so long.
I have similar situation. I have a NTT Docomo s8+. I have unlocked it as well, it now works with my ATT sim in USA.
problem is the annoying Docomo apps in Japanese.
I am not able to rid of it completely.
Can I flash a US-Unlocked stock ROM or any custom ROM ?
pls let me know how.
Pls note my phone is Snapdragon based, (unfortunately most ROMs are for Exynos version).
Hi,
I purchased a sprint locked phone in USA and got it unlocked.
The phone is working with sim of another domestic carriers (USA) but not working with international sim card (India).
Can you please give me any directions on what to do?
Samsung is asking me to contact sprint and sprint says that they have unlocked it domestically and internationally as well and not able to provide any other support.
Thanks

Is it asking for a code on inserting Indian SIM? if so, it's not unlocked.. check ebay remote unlock method for abt 7-10usd.
If it's not asking for a code, Try to toggle aeroplane mode and see.
Or try flashing U1 firmware (unlocked model version)
it is not asking for any unlock code while entering Indian SIM card.
however, there is no signal if I insert indian SIM (tried Airtel and Jio so far). These sim are working in other cellphones.
