[Q] Sim Unlock MyTouch 4G Slide for FREE?

Is there any way to unlock the sim unlock the phone for free?
When I got my G2, I was able to unlock it via gfree.
If not, can a fellow XDA T-Mobile user help me out? I run on AT&T. They're free to request and only takes a few minutes...

Yes.
Search the forum, I posted something on this.

I know the Sensation had a way to unlock once you had root, I'll see if I can find the link once I get home.

Here you go.

I think that code is specific to your handset.

Which part is specific to the phone? I obtained the unlock code for my phone from T-Mobile, but right now I don't have another SIM. I would like to enter the code before I get to China and find out the code I'm given doesn't work. I remember on my old Motorola phone I could enter a sequence in the dialer to bring up the unlock function, enter the unlock code, and it was good. Is that possible on the MT4GS?

Do you recommend the method from the sensation forum, or your method?
They are both posted under the sticky in the general section.

If you can get your hands on an AT&T or other non tmobile sim card, you can unlock your phone. Just insert any "foreign" sim card and the phone will prompt you to enter the code.
lol, flag down a friend and use their sim card for a few seconds

I'll try tipping **05*06390811*1234*1234# but it gave an error and then 9 try left. The method for the sensation didnt help either.
You can always call tmobile (if you have tmobile) and say that you are going to leave the country for 1 month and need to unlock the phone to use it outside. They are legally obligate to give you the code if you have been with them more than 6 months (or something like that). I dont know what are the laws outside USA

That's the reason why I started this thread. I don't have tmobile, so I can't ask for a code from them. I was hoping someone else on XDA would be able to help me out with that, by requesting a code for me.

I used a 8 year old NEXTEL sim to get the unlock prompt
I was totally aware it would not connect to any network afterwards, I only needed the prompt.
I did verify it (days later) with a AT&T sim and all was good

You have to have root to get the msl code threw the terminal . You did something wrong I can assure you it does work.
I have never used the second method in the sticky.

IFRC they are the same thing; the sensation had 2 alternatives and the one I posted is just one of the two. I would use the one I posted, it requires 2 lines of adb but should not be too complicated.
Sorry for the late reply

Try this, it may work

I got an 8 digit code, but I can't try it yet since I can't get the sim lock screen to come up, trying an ATT sim just doesn't work for some reason, trying a simple and telna sim soon.

I too am unable to get a unlock prompt. I got an 8 digit code using the method 1 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107
Running CM9.1, so that might be why... but not sure.

You both need to be on a Stock Sense ROM to get the unlock prompt. MikTouch will do as well as bullet proof. I did it from MikTouc

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

Wow, seems like such a long time ago. I remember starting this thread the very first night I got my phone

[T-mobile USA] No service issue

I have had the phone for 2 months and it has been rooted and I was using it with TrickDroid V4.3 for about a month now. All of a sudden this morning, the phone stopped connecting to any tmobile towers and has been displaying no service all day. I tried the usual fixes (re-seat SIM, hard reset, restore to stock) and nothing has fixed it. All the other features of the phone work, just cannot get cell service. I have tried a different sim card in the phone and it doesnt work, and my sim card works in another phone so that narrows it down to my hardware.

Connect to a wifi network and search for an update. One was released a few days ago with a new radio an firmware. Maybe thatll help. If not, have you dropped it recently? You may have damaged an antenna if so

Yeah, looks like it was blocked because the person i bought it from on craigslist never paid the installments for the phone. It seems like a very stupid system that t-mobile would block the IMEI instead of just going after the person defaulting on the payments.
Given that I will not be able to unblock it using conventional methods, is there really anything else I can do? Would it be useful to somebody in a different part of the world? Can I use Att on it? Will Straight Talk work on it, or does that eventually get routed to tmobile also?
Thanks!

You can purchase an unlock code for $4. It supports AT&T's 3G/4G bands.

You don't need to party for an unlock code. There's a tutorial in the dev section to tell you how to get it.
That's why you really have to be careful buying on Craigslist.

OP,
Beware that some carriers share their blacklists between each other in an effort to "help" each other avoid bad customers.
Just food for thought.
Also, just thinking about this. You say it was working just fine then suddenly quit working. The story behind the phone's failed installment payments doesn't sound logical to me given the fact that you say it was working until just the other day.

Same thing was happening to me... I was confused.
But must have just been tower issues for me.

Sometimes it does take a while for the blacklist to kick in. Think about it, if the guy is not making his monthly install payment it might 30 days+ before they bl the phone.

The short answer is no it can not be done Verizon is a cdma phone the other is a GSM phone.

Post #48. If you do not have data, you need to root and edit your APNs using the steps on the first page. Highest speeds you'll get for T-Mobile/AT&T are Edge (2G).

Actually, there is a GSM setting on the phone, and from my understanding, the GS3 is a world phone, and I think the I535 has the proper antennas to work on AT&T's 4G network, but I may have to look into that. It was something me and one of my coworkers were gonna try, but never got around to and he is now in the military, he had a AT&T GS3, me a Verizon, and we were gonna SIM swap and see if it worked. Hardware seems to support it would, but the big question is why?

Unless there's a breakthrough in this bounty thread, highest speeds you'll see on AT&T or T-Mobile are Edge. Hardware supports "up to" HSPA in other countries given differences in frequencies. Not sure I get your question of "why?" though. Samsung made this phone to support virtually every carrier in the US and it makes more sense to hardware lock (or carrier lock or whatever the technical term is) phones to only have access to most common frequencies in that region.

My question as to why is to the whole carrier swap. When you sign a new contract, you get a new phone, adding a customer owned device doesn't change plan price, but does maintain the upgrade eligibility. As far as I know, the major players haven't started releasing specs on next years devices. So, why the want to take a Verizon GS3 to AT&T is what i'm wondering.

Agreed, although I could understand if he said T-Mobile it makes good sense on their new plans. This just isn't a good idea trying to bring it to AT&T

Yea, I always thought AT&T had similar pricing as Verizon (expensive) but I'm not one to inquire into folks personal decisions on switching carriers with this phone. I'm only interested in doing so when I travel overseas. Everyone has different needs, you know?

Yup, same process for AT&T and T-Mobile so long as you have the respective sim. I'm unsure if you can edit and save APNs on stock which is why I say if you have no data then you need to root for the method I linked to. You can get calls easily on stock, just have to adjust Network Mode accordingly.

Honestly just get the T-Mobile version or whatever version you will be using >50% of the time. Nobody has gotten any one carrier successfully flashed to another carrier yet. Lots of talk about it with zero proof in any threads. It could happen today or maybe never. Seems like an expensive gamble for a maybe with the way Samsung changes things every phone release.

I think I can get it to work I just need to have t mobile register it on there network lol

From my understanding They both use their own standards. If that's true then no matter what they do it will not work.

That you can get at least the most basic features without having to buy new devices. Eventually there will be one standard but as of right now there's like 7. T-Mobile has their own. Samsung has their own which Sprint and T-Mobile is hopping on board with. Google has their own. AT&T has their own. I think Verizon uses the most open standard(Block C rules did this). Right now it seems Samsung will win this due to the volume of devices they sell.

Sprint n920p sim unlock

Is the sprint sim unlock on a note 5 or s6 edge that hard to do? I've been searching for a way to do it but have only found those who want to get paid to do it. Plenty of unlock ways for other phone and carriers but sprint seems to have a hold on things.
I called sprint about the unlock code but not having the previous owners name or number I was out of luck. I explained to them that it had been bricked and I had to do a factory reset and lost all that information. After the factory reset it updated itself to nougat 7.

Negative. Both selling and advertising services are clearly forbidden by the Forum Rules. Also forbidden is any discussion about changing IMEI.
