[Completed] Carrier unlock asap please help - XDA Assist

I recently spent money that I REALLY didn't have on a Sprint Flex 2 because a friend of mine's friend claimed to be in a bind and needed urgent help and I knew my boyfriend had been wanting this phone and honestly, I'd been wanting his! However, after getting home with it I'd noticed it had a Google Account lock so I paid someone to bypass it, which was easy and worked like a charm... Then, I realized that it was Sprint and my bf has an att sim! I I contacted that same guy and for some reason his program just decided it wouldnt work with my computer anymore so wasted more money, I then found another guy and he said to go to swappa.com and make sure it wasnt blacklisted which it was obvious its not beacuse if my bf would habe sprint itd be working perfectly. I paid this new guy to get a new IMEI code for it and he hasnt answered me back and honestly i dont see how he can claim it to b blacklisted, but anyway i need a carrier unlock done like YESTERDAY!!! PLEASE HELP!!

No one can help you because AT&T customers have to add the IMEI number to their account in order to get an unlock code. Get on ebay and purchase an unlock code for ~$15...
r u sure. any way thanks for reply
Unlock for $8
Yep, I did it from one of the guys on there for $8 Best Offer, a few weeks ago. It's a simple and very easy way to do it. Hope this helps.

where did u did it
eBay
Try this current auction

where did you purchase it from?
i am guessing that you dont have an at&t account...
as long as you bought it from at&t at full retail price they will unlock it for you thru customer care.
pm me if you need more help.
I got a friend to do it and the phone had never been used on her account. they let me.... The IMEI does not have to be registered on the person's account

ME TOO CALLED TO AT & T They Gave me the number
Better,
Call AT&T and ask them to do it for you. They are required by the FCC now to unlock phones "for overseas travel". Here's a snippit from an article I read on this:
"I called Cingular’s International Care Center at (916) 843-4685 Tuesday morning and spoke with a customer service representative, who confirmed that I could unlock all my Cingular phones for international travel. To unlock my Blackjack, I read him my International Mobile Equipment Identity, or IMEI, number, which can be found on the product box or by entering the code *#06# on the Blackjack’s keypad.
After I read him the IMEI, he processed it through the computer and gave me an unlock code specific to my phone. He then instructed me to power down my phone, take out the Subscriber Identification Module, or SIM, card and power it back up. Once the phone rebooted, I entered in the code #7465625*638*, which brought up the prompt: Enter Network Control Key. I put in my unlock code, and the phone returned the message: Successfully Disable Locking Status."
I only did this for my old Blackjack, but I understand you can do it for a Tilt too. I had to call a couple times before I got someone who would give me the code with out a "3 day wait period". Try it and let us know if it works for you.
Hi guys, new person here, I have to say your forum is the best forum I've seen about this stuff, just fantastic!
I called AT&T, they told me the ATT tilt is so new they don't have the unlock codes yet,.. which I believe is bull...
But anyway if you know something more please post it...
I'll call back tomorrow to see if I catch someone off guard.
Patan
Call at night and just call a few times. You will get lucky and find a good person that feels bad for you and gets you the code. They are lieing when they tell you that they do not know it. I think I called in 4 or 5 times and finally got lucky. They gave me this line that it would take 48 to 72 hrs for someone get in touch with me. BS its been more than 2 weeks and nobody has called me. Luckily I got my code the day after I got my phone.
Good luck
ahhh
liers!!
I got them
I was lucky this time, I spoke with a very sexy girl and also she gave me the unlock code. hahaha
I almost get her phone number too hehehe...
but well, I am happy enough with the unlocking code.
but she said: I have to put a sim card form a NON cingular/AT&T provider in order to put the unlock code, is that correct, or I can do it with no sim card on it??
thanks guys, it is amazing how the people form the phone companies lie...
the guy that lied to me had no reason to do it he did not get any comission for not giving me the code...
what an A**
well, good thing for all AT&T Tilt at least
sorry, now what is this good for? does this allow me to reinstall new roms and stuff? or just use the device with different sim cards and I still have to do all the installs from the stickY?

I am an AT&T customer for over 10 years, when I called them for the unlock code, the guy (with Indian accent, probably not located in U.S., I called about 1:00 am in the morning Pacific time) told me he had to check my payment records .... my subscription plan .... computer was down ..... wait ...... wait ....... and told me he would call me back ........ left him a phone number !!?? .... all Bxxx Shxx.
I pay about $80 to $100 on AT&T mobile phone bill every month. The phone can be unlock by someone on the web. The Tilt was about $450 with 2yrs. service contract.
I just told the customer support guy to fxxx off and then looked for someone on the web to unlock my phone.
Within minutes I found a link that unlock the phone for $15. I received a thank you message along with my unlock code within 24 hrs.
Why people just want to save a few bucks and willing to pull out kneel pads and willing to lick someone's behind is beyond me when putting all things in perspective.
I guess I saved myself $15 for a 3 min phone call with a nice girl.
Anybody who needs to unlock kaiser

Cheaper than the $8-$15 everyone is posting about? Name your price, chachi!!
By the way I just called AT&T and told them I was traveling overseas. They gave me my unlock code without a problem. The entire length of the call was 2 minutes and 58 seconds. I don't know what y'all are complaining about with customer service.

you just got lucky, man. i must've called in at least 10 times with 4 variations of stories until my last call which got me the code in just minutes as well. other times was that i had to have this or that on my account, they had to email the manufacturer and all that jazz.

[Q] sim unlock & imei change

Hey everyone.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
to be perfectly honest my dad has a att lg g3. A few months ago he switched to Verizon
due to a very large bill. He was considering selling the phone but was under the next program.
which means the device was Was not paid off. So I told him instead of selling it to someone then in a few month have the imei go bad Let me see if I can unlock the device and changer the imei, that way
the buyer isn't crewed over.
If any one can help me with these steps it would mean a lot.
Thanks!
Changing the IMEI is not allowed, and so is all discussion about it as well.

[Completed] T-Mobile Blocked my IMEI on used phone

Hi Im new here and needed some clarification regarding an issue with my IMEI on my T mobile Note 2. I bought it used back in June off of a facebook buy and sell group to fix it up and sell it. At the time I bought it, it had a clean IMEI, and the people who sold me the phone told me they were the original owners. a few weeks ago, I again checked the imei, and it was still clean.
Now Im about to sell the phone, but I check one more time and now its blacklisted on T mobile and Metro, but clean on ATT and Verizon according ti imeidata.net. I check tmobiles website and it says its been reported lost. Im going to try to contact the people who sold it to me, and if they wont help me, Ill be contacting Tmobile and Asurion. After doing some research about what else I can do, Ive came up with a few options, but I still need some advice.
1. Sell as is and cut my losses
2. Sell on ebay to someone outside of US
3. Sell for parts
If I sell it to someone outside the country, how do I know it will work wherever the buyer is? I have no intention if screwing anyone over and want to make sure they get what they pay for.
How can I protect myself from this happening in the future? Is there a way to get the IMEI numbers of future phones signed over to my name, even if Im not a customer of that phones carrier?
Also, if imeidata.net says its only blacklisted on Tmobile/metro, can it be used on other American networks?
I really appreciate any help with this. Thanks.
One more thing I forgot to mention...when I bought it, it was running android 4.1.2. I downgraded it to 4.1.1 to unlock it and its still running 4.1.1 incase the unlock procedure didnt work and I need to try again. Not sure if this is relevant to the imei issue but Im just putting it out there.
Hi,
If it's blocked, it's blocked. No one can help you with that legally. Sorry.
Whether it works in other carriers.... I would doubt it. Usually blacklists are across all carriers in North America.
And as far as protecting yourself in the future, you can't really. Buying a used phone is always going to be a gamble. Nothing you can do about that except try to buy from a reputable source or individual.
Good luck!

Un-Unlockable T-Mobile S7 Edge

Hey guys
I have a S7 edge which came through a promotional sponsoring deal from Samsung. There is no balance due or anything to be paid off.
I spent the last 3 weeks on hotlines from both T-Mobile and Samsung, trying to unlock the device as right now it only works with T-Mobile US sim cards. To no success.
It clearly is a T-Mobile device, boots up with the t-mobile logo and has all the t-mobile software on it. The unlock app doesn't work at all, not even the temporary one. T-Mobile hotline keeps claiming it is not a t-mobile phone. Just now the supervisor of the tech support hotline tried to "escalate" the unlocking process by overriding something which should have solved the problem instantly. But he said it came back as not being able to be unlocked.
One hotline supervisor a couple days ago claimed she saw it as a t-mobile device "on the other system" after digging deeper but usually they say it's not even a t-mobile phone when i give them the IMEI. She also tried to "escalate" the unlocking process and told me it would take 72h. But now when i called back today, the guy just told me again it is not a t-mobile phone. And the "instnat escalation" his supervisor tried to do didn't go through.
At some point i also was on the Samsung hotline and they claimed it is a t-mobile phone and only t-mo can unlock it.
I am really close to giving up but that would render the device useless for me.
Is there any way to unlock it? I am pretty sure i wouldn't be able to buy an unlock code from one of these sites, i tried to go through the testing service on some of them and it came back as not being unlockable.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I would personally be capable to root the phone, did it before with some of my older phones, but right now i only have direct access to apple devices and from what i know you still need Windows to root a phone? (edit: read up more on this, is JODIN reliable and recommended?) Also i am not sure if rooting a phone would even take off the carrier lock?
Thanks in advance...
edit: please lmk if i posted this in the wrong section of the forum.
Well aside from the fact you're posting about an S7 Edge in the regular S7 forums I'm not sure what to tell you. Are there an T-Mobile stores close to you? If so try taking it to them and see if they can help. If you have any documentation from Samsung saying it's a T-Mobile phone take that with you.
oops yeah sorry please can some moderator please move this to the s7 edge section?
obvisouly t-mobile store won't be of any help. but thanks.

I have the same question for S7.. have you been able to find a solution?
Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk
I'm having the same problem I 've been trying to get my phone unlocked and neither tmobile or Samsung can get it unlocked for over a month now. Samsung refuse to take the phone back so is tmobile ( tmobile said that the phone is not a T-Mobile phone because the IMEI number is not in thier system)
So what I told T-Mobile is I used a link sent by T-Mobile to do the exchange so if something wrong with the phone that's their fault so then I got transferred to an account specialist and filed a warranty exchange . And today I got text message from T-Mobile that says my new phone ;Your order #xxxxxxxx for SAM G935T GS7 EDGE 32G GLD EXCH has shipped! We'll send you a notification when your device is ready for pickup.

thanks guys,
me personally i wasn't able to make any progress. t-mobile customer service is not helping at all.
i did get an OTA t-mobile update in the meantime though lol.
will try the warranty exchange trick. problem is i am not in the US right now.
For the warranty exchange tell them to send it to ur home address not the store. Coz mine got sent to the store I went to pick it up the store couldn't give it to me coz once again the imei number is not registered as a tmobile device. So the store manager told me if I have a Twitter account to look for tmobile on Twitter and keep twitting about it . I spoke with representative and she said she knows about my issue and within 72 hours it will be fixed . The next day I reset my phone thru the recovery mode ( power button volume up home button) after the phone booted I set it up , I revive an OTA update which is "weird" and then after the update i tried the unlock app on the phone and BAM ! The is permanently unlocked .
