[Q] Unknown PIN unlock code - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

H Guys and Gals,
Have just purchased a used XT1068 from ebay for my wife . Must say that it is one sexy piece of hardware (TBH I'm thinking about keeping it for myself and giving her my Sony Z3C hehe), unfortunately it has arrived with a pin code lock. Before I contact the seller (am pretty sure that he/she must be selling the device because he/she doesn't know the code) can anybody advise how I can get around the problem? Presumably I can just flash a new ROM?
edit: I understand that this might sound dodgy, so have attached a screenshot as proof of purchase
Many thanks :good:

[Q][SIM-UNLOCK] SIM Unlock code not found

Okay guys this is my first post here. I am writing this with a huge concern so I wanted to know if this is happening to you
I am from Argentina, I ordered my AT&T HTC One X at eBay and received it yesterday. I need the phone to be unlocked so that I can use it here
Turns out both two of the sites I tried on return the unlock code was "Not found". I am quite desperate, as you may know it's not nice to buy a 500 dollar phone not to use it.
I was wondering if any of you guys happen to be in the same situation than me, and if we can find a solution.
Thank you very much, (and sorry for my not so good english )
Julian
Try this one, I've used it and it worked for me.
Check your IMEI number before paying and I hope it works for you.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190694174164&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123
How long has it been since you unlocked it? Did you use the 5 dollar or the 25 dollar listing?
Thanks for the fast response
The whole process took about 10 min. for me.
I payed only $5.77
I paid $19.99 at a different site, where if they don't send you the code in like an hour they refund you immediately. Lmk if the other one doesn't work.

Ok. Thanks for responding. What I really need to know is how long ago (days, weeks) have you done the unlocking. I want to figure out if this is happening to all ATT One X's or just to unfortunate me
Seems like I am a jynx with this cellphone stuff
I unlocked it about 2-3 weeks ago. Came in fast and no problems.

Ok... so it seems there are no codes available right now...
FML!
What do you suggest guys? Please! I need to know if there's a chance I can get my phone unlocked in the near future.
Do you know if there is any senior member or specialist who knows about this stuff?
Thanks for the help

I had the same issue. I tried cellunlocker.net and it returned "not found", then I tried an ebay unlocking service that also didn't work.
Finally, just now, I tried the ebay-er listed in this thread above and it worked. I received the unlock code in 5 minutes. I have a One X from Rogers (same as ATT) and I used the following listing:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/32091354661...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2554wt_1413
You could try the ATT listing from the same seller.
Hello pal, I have already tried, returned not found. This is unbelievable. I have such a bad luck with these things! I don't know what to do, I think I am returning the phone. FML :crying:

Same problem. Did you get any solution?
I've been through the same situation. Tried cellunlocker, eBay, and countless others with all giving me the "code not found" email. Called ATT and they said they wouldn't provide the code until November.

This is really frustrating. I contacted unlockers from ebay. They say try after one month. Can we trust them?
I dont understand how people have unlocked HTC ONE X before?

Hi, I'm new posting, I had the same problem, my HOX returned in every single service "Not Found" Today I entered to a page and I put may IMEI into the verification and they say they have the code, I tried and they gave me the code in less than 5min! I was shocked because I searched for my unlock code more than 6 months and finally I have my HTC working! this is the page: htccode . com
The price is $15 because they search in the "ULTRA 2014 Database" Hope it work for all your!
Sorry if I misspelled some words, my English isn't good.

Help: Bricked phone - need someone in Australia

Hi guys,
I've bought my HTC One XL directly from Australia, through Telstra. But now I live in Brazil
Well, I bricked my phone pretty hard. I even bothered reading all the topics about my stituation to see if there was any available solution. Turns out there isn't.
Well, at least through the community. From what I gathered, HTC is able to refurbish it and send it back - or at least exchange for another one.
The problem is, since this device is not sold in Brazil, HTC-Brazil simply don't do any kind of repair on it. So, my only hope lives in a good australian soul accepting to receive my phone and do me this big favour of checking if HTC-Australia would help me - even if I have to pay some technical fee.
I know this forum is not exacly for something like this, but I'm out of ideas. And since my investment was pretty big and I can't afford another one right now, I'm here begging for some help.
If this good soul exists, please, PM me so we can go through details.
Thanks in advance!
I feel you man..what'd you do to your phone? And when you get on the phone with HTC Australia tell them the truth I've seen them take pity on some people for flashing the wrong thingss and making it free to recover

Thanks man. Well, I was absolutely used to the HOX with Tegra 3, once I got the XL I thought I know almost everything. It worked well for a while, but things went sour when I tried to downgrade. I think it corrupts some stuff on the phone, and after that I think it's not possible to install a RUU. Well, I tried to anyway and found out that the hard way.
I was already pretty honest with them. I talked to them online, told them the whole story, but they said they could do nothing for me since I was in Brazil. And, as I said, HTC-Brazil was completely useless, since they don't sell this device here.
That's why I'm trying to find some help from an australian mate here at the forum. 'Til now, I had no success.
I found a guy who does JTAG here in Brazil. Since I'm having a hard time doing it trough HTC, I think I'll try this one last resort. I think I got almost nothing to lose by now.
What exactly do you need someone to do for you?

Hey timmaaa!
I'd need that person to give me an address to send the device, and after that I'd use this address to ask HTC what should I do.
Possibly I'd need it to be sent to HTC or Telstra.
But it's ok, by now I took the second possibility. I sent it to be used in a test with Riffbox. Now all I have to do is pray, as much as I can.
Anyway, thanks for replying!
Hey radjan! Check out mobiletechvideos.com they do jtagging service for about 80$ ...and its an honest site

Thanks man. I found int while I was doing my research yesterday.
Anyway, I found another site, a brazilian one (amigoandroid.com.br) which does the same service. I called him, and he sound pretty good technically, even explaining to me why jtagiing the Tegra version is a no-go. Also, I found some pretty good reviews about him in some brazilian forums.
He also explained to me that this process for the One XL is still in beta testing. But, as I said, I got pretty much nothing more to lose. For me it's ok if it ends up bricked if it makes future bricked devices come back to life.
Beside that, the price is basically the same, but I save money from the shipping and save some time I'd use to explain brazilian customs that the device was already mine, that I was sending it for repair and yadda yadda.
Anyway, thanks for the help. Will keep posted and, in cade anyone ends up screwed like me, they may fin a light at the end of the tunnel.

[Q] No1 S6

Hi
I took the plunge and bought the S4 clone/knock off No1 S6. It arrived in the UK from Hong Kong (day after it was posted! great service from Android-Inside). First impressions are that it is a good phone with a great screen. I wanted to post a reply in Manuxo's thread but as a newbie I'm not allowed. If anyone has any (basic) questions about the phone/spec etc please feel free to post.:laugh:

Hi jw54,
Can you use a normal s4 case on this phone?
Does the battery last long?
Hope you do a review on it.
Thanks

Had this phone a week now but will be trying to get a replacement for two main reasons:
1. Phone constantly freezes and reboots. I've done a factory restore but has made no difference.
2. Phone will not connect to mobile data - tried everything suggested by my network (vodafone UK) but nothing fixes the bug.
If the phone did the basics correctly I would be more than happy.
The next part of the adventure is to see what kind of customer service I get from Android-Inside
In response to your questions - battery lasts OK but obviously due to restrictions I've not used the phone at full throttle. I bought a cheap case from Ebay - the fit is not great but that's probably due to the case. I think better quality S4 accessories would fit fine.

You can ask your phone to be replaced but every phone with this version of android installed (4.2.1) have this issues so i think it is better to wait an software update.
If you ask for a replacement you can wait for a lonnnggg time until you have your phone back.

Did you buy from "CHINAPADMALL"
update
No - i bought mine from android-inside.com which is now called anybuying.com????
Just a word of warning - after much tweaking and messing about it's now working reasonably well. However don't expect this to be a genuine alternative to a Galaxy S4 or iPhone, there are too many issues and problems. the best place to look is 'mychinesephone.com' where you will find loads of info. they also have a shop where you can buy the phone if you still want one

Yep, imo these sort of threads should not be answered, anyone stealing a phone could come here and get it reset
There are the odd one or two where you can tell the OP genuinely has a problem with their own phone, but threads such as this look very suspicious

Sorry but we don't know that for sure
If you have a problem with a phone you bought, return it / contact seller
Saying you don't know the seller makes it even more suspicious
You could have purchased a locked phone. Take it to SKT dealership, tell tgem you purchased it seconds hand (used), and they will contact the original owner to make sure it wasnt stolen.

Looking at older model used phones.. but which ones to look for ?

edit 2 Sorry, I think this should have been in the Q&A thread? I can't see any option to move it there, or delete this post, and make a new one there. Sorry
Hey guys,
Have been looking on ebay at phones released around 2-3yrs ago for a new(used) upgrade from my current HTC ONE X... but I'm not familiar with all the smartphone tech, or issues, or what's decent/bad etc..
Originally I looked at the LG NEXUS 5X, then read it's got a fault that causes it to fail/Bootloop (eventually). Few people said, there's other phones in similar price range that would be better, though none suggested any (yet). Then I looked at the NEXUS 6P, but, I read again, these have a bootloop fault too ??
Are there any phones that have gotten a good reputation, probably 2014> that still perform well today, but aren't plagued with hardware faults? I don't mind if I have to repair / reflash firmware etc.. as one reason I look at ebay, hope to pickup a phone for cheap (due to broken.. ie screen, not starting up), then fix it.
Price range, around $100, but obviously price for phone will vary depending on phone and condition etc..
[edit] I should have noted, I'm from Australia, so phone prices vary here. Maybe, if you can, throw some suggestions my way, and I'll look around based on what I can spend.
Suggestions on what to look out for ?
Thanks in advance,
