I have AT&T M8 with WIN10 preview for developers.
I recently ordered unlock code from eBay. Order was processed and in 15 min i got unlock code(s). Two of them to be precise.
Upon inserting T-mobile SIM phone booted up and asked me for unlock code. I typed in first code and got error "incorrect code" and same happen with second code.
I tried each code once more with no success and by that time my counter was down to 6 available tries.
Then I ordered code from different source - HTCUNLOCK.com and received only one code - identical to first one received from eBay purchase.
I decided to try my luck again and rebooted phone with T-mobile card at which point I realized (to my surprise) that unlock counter was back to 10 tries.
My question is did anyone had luck unlocking AT&T M8? What is possibility that WIN10 preview prevents proper code entry? How likely is that two totally independent sources would provide same unlock code (both of them being incorrect)?
Any help or suggestions are welcome, I just want to unlock my phone
Thanks
I sent a request directly to ATT granted the phone i refurbished after it was recycled and given to me. I got an unlock code rather quick. I used two websites prior to going to att's unlock website. One didn't give me a code yet and the other the code did not work. Looks like I'll have to work on getting my money back as the att unlock was free.. who would have thought
I unlocked my AT&T device using this link: https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/
I also ordered a code online (sim-unlock.net) and I got the same code as AT&T sent me.
Cheers, T.

that's it I just got tired of waiting a solution for sim unlock my D2G, so ...
any of you, D2G owners, US citizen with a VZ contract, is interested in exchange your previously sim unlocked D2G with mine?
mine is blue, zero scratches, and no dust at all anywhere (it has been keept stored in the box most of the time).. ESN clean off course (i'll give you my IMEI so you can check with VZ)
the idea would be to send you mine (without battery and SD card and factory reseted off course)... I pay the shipping... you receive mine, and send yours to me (same conditions off course) .. yeah I pay that shipping too ...
so you get a mint one, and I receive yours sim unlocked... don't care at all about color.. and even I'm open to receive a phone with some usage marks... this is not scam, I'm just a guy tired of waiting to make his phone work ..
regards
Victor
Solution is easy
For me solution was easy. I pain 19 PLN (about $6,60) for an unlock code. I;m using my D2G in Poland and it works great.
Obviously the unlock codes sold on the 'net didn't work for walderrama; so I'm not sure why are you sharing your positive experience with that here, Gibol666.
yeah indeed I've payed 4 times for codes that didn't worked (actually each seller promised that their codes will work as charm, but all 4 gave me the same codes)
well, I see that there's not enough "interest" in help me ... but what about if I add USD $50.- to this "favor"... I'll send it trough paypal as soon as I get the tracking number of the shipping .
regards

You can only unlock a phone that hasn't had unlock code altered by Verizon. With D2G it is a hit or miss. Some unlock (like mine), others do not.
All online unlockers gather their database from Motorola. Hence providing same codes. For "altered" phones, only Verizon can give you the right code. Unfortunately...
well i just got my at&t htc one x and wasa trying to unlock thru cellunlocker i got an email saying that database has returned the results as negative , i need my phone ,how's htcsimunlock.com
nevermind i finally got the code
I did it with 2 Canadian Rogers Htc One X
Took me around 3 hours each time to receive the code from cellunlocker ...
i have a Canadian Rogers HTC and was able to successfully unlock it using a cellunlocker code. i received my code within a few hours of paying.
i'm not familiar with any other online unlocking services. have you double checked to see whether you entered the IMEI correctly? i only got it correct after the 2nd try
I just bought an unlock code from Ebay for $6.89, received the code in 7 minutes. AWESOME!!!!!
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

I got my samsung code from Cellunlocker in a few hours pretty happy with that
Did you get a code from htcsimunlock and immediately typed "nevermind i finally got the code" to try to advertise?
Just wondering if anyone knew how long, after purchasing their phone, does the "IMEI database" get updated? I've been trying for about 3 weeks since the day I bought my One X to get it unlocked only to be told my code is unavailable.
I think it's dependent on your carrier, some carriers won't let you unlock your bootloader ala AT&T... I'm sure there are others but that seems to be the most popular
Which is why there's SuperCID tool

He's talking about SIM unlock, not bootloader unlock.
As for the official SIM unlock for this phone, as far as I know, it can take up to 6 months before AT&T will allow you to unlock your phone, especially for a flagship phone like the HOX. I would search around and see if there are any cheap, pay-for SIM unlock solutions in the meantime.

Per AT&T policy and a class action settlement, they will not provide a SIM unlock code for 10 months after a phone's release. You also need to be an account holder in good standing for at least 90 days.
If the OP is an AT&T customer, best bet is to use a paid unlock service. Folks on here have gotten the code from eBay and other online places for as low as $4.
Thanks to all who replied...I've called AT&T and they say they wont provide the unlock until November. I've tried EBay, cellunlocker, and countless others with all saying my code was not found. I read somewhere on here that it takes about a month for this so called "database" to get updated. Just wondering if there's any truth to that.
I've always gotten mine for free from AT&T directly, but never paid attention to how long into my ownership though. My question is how are the paid services guys doing it, and why hasn't an individual or group here (lots of collective brainpower) reverse engineered the process and make a killing at half the cost?
I bought my phone July 1, and AT&T told me that they would not unlock it until December. My account has been in good standing for years, but they just won't do it. If you look on their support site, they claim that if the phone is new and exclusive that they won't unlock it for up to 10 months.
I wasn't able to get my Skyrocket unlocked from them either. Way easier to just put out a couple extra dollars and get the code online. Luckily the first eBay unlocker I tried had the code and it only cost me $2.

Do you remember which unlocker you purchased the code from? Was is it for the SR or the HOX? I've tried Unlockfusion from eBay and got nothing.

cellunlockworld11 was the seller. I looked and they currently don't have the listing up anymore. Transaction went really well. Paid my $2.89 via paypal and I had my unlock code within 5 minutes.
I've bought a new Galaxy S6 and was given an unlock code for it from the place I bought it. However, the code I was first given was incorrect. After contacting the shop I was given the correct code, however, apparently entering the wrong code wrong 5 times blocked the unlock process. The shop told me to go back so that they can reset the "unlock counter", but I would have to wait until Monday. Is there a way to do it by myself?
Thanks.
Hello all, i am trying to get my phone unlocked currently its locked to Telus Canada & Model ALCATEL ONE TOUCH IDOL 3 5.5 6045I .
Have tried 4 different sites selling unlock codes. They all provided me similar codes, one company provided 4 different codes and some 1 or 2 but the codes are same.
cellunlocker.net
Oneunlock.com
guaranteedunlock.com
canadagsm.ca
None of the codes worked, i have now 4 tires left. Tried factory reset before entering the code, have made sure that IMEI number, Provider ID and image Mapping (Secro / SRO) was provided. I even received SPCK code also but phone only asks for SIM lock code.
Anyone have any idea what could be going on, i am using windmobile sim to unlock it. This phone has never been activated on the Rogers, it was BNIB.
Thanks for your time.
Have you tried any eBay unlockers? I found this one: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Unlock-Code-...116098?hash=item4ae66766c2:g:HuoAAOSw~1FUXz7Q
Thanks for the link, but they do not support this phone. Got an email back from them. Thanks
Did you ever get this resolved? I have a similar problem. All the sites I request an unlock code from give me a server error. Telus can't find the IMEI in their system although the UPC verifies it is a Telus device .
I used this site for my Bell Idol 3: http://www.mobifree.ca/

Usually, the vendor you purchase from will give you instructions. They're nearly the same for all phones. You put in a SIM card from another carrier and put in the code, or sometimes you have a number sequence first
sent from a phone running a ROM

Hi! Thanks for the help. I realised that you need to have your Wifi / Data turned on in order for the pop-up asking for the codes appear.
Although the codes that I bought didn't really worked...
I have never had to have wifi or data turned on for an unlock code to pop up. I've unlocked plenty of phones, including 2 Idol3 phones. All I need to do was power up the phone with a foreign sim inside.
