Hey all,
Nice forum here, plenty of good information. I've got a basic question. I've searched (here and google) and I'm pretty sure I get it but I just want to confirm before I make any purchase. I want the HTC Kaiser but the price difference between that and the Tilt is about $500 (I plan to upgrade contract anyway). That's just too much to justify for the same exact device on a college student's salary. I do need it to be unlocked though. So, if I understand correctly, it is possible to fully unlock this phone like this:
- For the SIM unlock call ATT and get them to give you the unlock code. Since I've been a customer for 5 years or so that shouldn't be a problem.
- For the CID unlock, run the HardSPL found on the sticky in this forum and then flash with a standard HTC ROM.
That's it, the phone is fully unlocked then, right? It won't be locked again, it won't be killed over-the air, etc... Again, I'm really sorry if this is repeated information, I just really want to be sure before I buy anything. Thanks for understanding.

1. If you're an AT&T customer, you won't need to SIM unlock the phone with the Tilt. But if you want to switch over to T-Mobile, then yeah, you can try calling AT&T and ask for them to for the unlock code.
2. Yep.
Hope that clarifies things.

I have done it and I am not even an ATT customer. Told them I bought the phone and I am going to England and need my international SIM to work. The guy immediately gave me an unlock code

I can verify that, I also unlocked tht Tilt, and am a T-Mo customer, ofcourse my first carrier was ATT, then Tmo, then Cingular and now am on Tmo for the past 2 years, so my info was already there.
Hey guys,
I just got an AT&T Tilt from ebay and getting shipped to Australia - can i call up AT&T and ask for it to be unlocked or is there a SIM unlock program that can do the job?
OK, I got the phone. Two more questions before I do this:
I downloaded RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.exe. Once I run HardSPL, do I just transfer this file to the phone and run it and it will flash to stock HTC firmware or is there something else? I was a bit confused by all the other ROM's and files on this forum.
Also, before calling AT&T, do I need to have a SIM from another provider to do the SIM unlock or no?
no dont transfer the file to your phone. download it to your computer, establish an activesync connection, and then run it from your computer. make sure you follow the instructions in the sticky. good luck, the htc rom is much cleaner and quicker than the atnt rom

You don't need another sim until you get the unlock code from AT&T. Once you do, put the other sim in your phone, boot it up, and enter the unlock code. It will say passcode accepted and your phone will be unlocked
Just got off the phone with AT&T (1-(916)-843-4685). I told them I was taking a trip to England, gave the IMEI and got my unlock code. So now I've got a fully unlocked phone and saved $500. Very nice.

Exactly how I got mine unlocked. Free is good
Just a question, Did you get your unlock code while still on the phone?
In other words, they gave you the code right away!
or you have to way a couple a days to get the code?
I did the same one time with TMO and have to way a week to get the code.
I just called ATT and they got all my info and told me that htc will email me the info in a week.
They gave it to me while I was on the phone. HTC has nothing to do with AT&T's unlock codes. Did you call the 916 number posted above? Call again and get a different rep who knows what they're doing!
I've tried calling that ATT number multiple times with no luck.
I am a TMobile customer and have never had ATT. The first question they ask is for my account information. I tried calling back 5 times and spoke to 5 different people and they all want my account info.
If anyone here can do it I would greatly appreciate and i'd even paypal you some money for being able to pull it off.

that seems like it'll work. have someone thats been on at&t for a while to call them up and give them your imei. What I'm not sure is if they have records of only at&t imei and they'll know if you have tmo imei.
Unlock tilt
Thanks, I called the number and told them that I am going over seas, got mine unlocked. Will take a few days after AT&T puts in a request to HTC for the unlock code. They'll send it via email.

Drop $20 on a GoPhone and give 'em that number - YMMV of course, but it's a cheap fix if it works - as it did for me...

Yeah, it took almost a month to get my V551 unlocked - between "misrouted" support requests, improper account information, and whatever real delays exist in getting codes from Motorola.
It's quite interesting that most Tilt people (myself included) have gotten codes immediately vs having them e-mailed - as had been ALL my previous experience.

I bought a D2G at eBay. I love it but I live in Hungary and I can't unlock it. Can anybody unlock it for me in USA by VZW Support if I pay every cost of unlocking (and plus money for helping)? It has clean ESN. I can send it to USA if it's required.
Please somebody help me!

You can buy a TurboSim off ebay item #200539432676 and it should work.
TurboSIM
Thank you for your advice, but I read it has few problems with D2G, so I want to unlock it by VZW.
send it back to d seller to unlock it
I tried it
I asked the seller about that but she refused it.
The device has to be active on a Verizon account that's in good standing. And the line it's unlocked on won't be able to unlock another phone for 10 monhts. I don't think you'll get too many takers on your request. TurboSim is probably your best bet?
Unfortunately
Unfortunately, the situation is bad. But I really pay extra cost for unlocking so if someone can help me to take extra cash, please send PM me.
I think I will order a TurboSIM, it's very cheap so I can try it.
Anyway, I got from UnlockCarrier.com 3 codes. 2 codes of them are 8-digit and they're absolutely wrong. The third one is 10-digit and the phone is thinking so much if I type it, but then the phone refuses it. Has someone got experience about 10-digit code?
The code should be 8 digits.

did her posting indicated the phone is unlock n can be use world wide?
or it is locked phone?
ask her to call on ur behalf to get the unlock code, provide her with d IMEI n IMEID
I can help, pm me..
Thanks guys
haroldz123: I ask her but she refused it again but she said she can refund my money if I send back the phone.
wirelessprofessional: I sent a PM!
"A hope? A chance!"
Hi everybody,
wirelessprofessional can't help me but he tried it (Thanks for it).
But the seller wrote a message to me on eBay if I want to send back the phone she refund my money. I was thinking so much on this offer, and I want to accept it but she wrote another message. In message she wrote that she may can help because she started to work part-time at VZW.
Can someone tell me, would it work if a verizon smartphone user got the esn for the phone, activated it on their line online for matthewKER while he still has the phone, then call verizon from some land line or still active phone and ask them to unlock the phone for a valid reason, then get the code, give it to matthewKER, he unlocks it, then reconnect your own smartphone back to your verizon line? I assume he wouldn't get service or be able to call or anything given that the phone is in hungary, though if it can that's the only risk I see in doing this.
Very interesting...
This situation is very, very interesting... After I sent a video to wirelessprofessional about my bad codes to refund his and my money (because he got same wrong codes), he sent an e-mail. He wrote in the e-mail that he activated my phone on his account and he got an unlock code from VZW. And there is surprise: this code doesn't work, too.
But it isn't end of the story... The seller is also trying to take an unlock code from VZW (she said she works part-time at VZW now) and she wrote me different things than wirelessprofessional. She wrote that she need the pre-installed SIM-card number to unlock method, and today she wrote that the assistant at VZW Global Support wanted to do this method step-by-step with her, but the phone is in Hungary so she ask the assistant how does she do it at home, but assistant said her that call him again if she can use the phone while she speaking on the other phone.
My advice if you want to buy D2G outside USA: DON'T TRY TO BUY LOCKED D2G. To buy an unlocked one with bad ESN is better choice than buy a locked one with clean ESN...
ben7337: Thanks for your post, I hope someone can unlock my phone finally.
same problem, who can help pm please
Santiss, I had a similar problem and ended up selling the phone and buying and unlocked one. I een got the unlock code straight fro ma Verizon Wireless representative and it still didn't work. I initially thought it was because I had to be within reach of the Verizon network in order for the code to work but that was not the case; the code simply didn't work.
My advice? Just get rid of the phone (sell it, return it...) and get one that's already unlocked. The unlock codes are apparently a matter of luck and not a safe bet.
I have unlocked two D2Gs myself online. I know of 3 others that were unlocked using the same site. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS SITE! I just have used them myself for several different phone models and they always work perfectly.
One of my D2Gs is a very recent new model, the other one was an early phone, both unlocked fine.
I strongly suggest that people try this site before giving up.
mobileunlockstoredotcom
I think it was around the $10USD mark the last time I looked. I got my codes within an hour.
Both my D2Gs are used worldwide on GSM networks and are behaving well. I just did the edit of the radio image that should remove the band locks when I am next in the US in a couple of weeks, that should be interesting!
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 .
Hello everyone,

Ok to keep this alive, there are a boatload of cheap phones on the market now a days, these tracphone j7's can they be sim card unlocked at all??While I am at it, the one I have is a GSM nano, while the Data is locked on cdma, can this be changed at all?? or is this norm??

They can be carrier unlocked after 1 year of service. If you have forgot to reload or run out of minutes, the timer restarts. This goes for straight talk and tracfone (as far as I know).
I also have a J7 Sky Pro and i really need it carrier unlocked and would like it rooted. I am currently figuring this thing out so i may be able to help.
anyone get anywhere on these tracphones yet???
here's a reply to the after one year unlock above, if I wanted to hear that I wouldn't be here. I OWN this phone, I have a receipt where I purchased the phone cash from a retailer. There was no agreement, issued, signed, nor agreed to what I had to do with the phone after I purchased it. If I choose to unlock it and use it on any network I choose including ones out of the USA, that is my business. Now as far as bootloader, ok it's unlocked, now what is the next move here??? Sorry to sound crass but if you can't add to the conversation with REAL information stay on the porch.

Tracfone security is tough. The only possible way to root it would be to find a leaked engineering firmware online somewhere and flash it to the phone. Then try king root. Also, unlocking would be kinda useless for this phone. The bands for this phone do not support ATT or Tmobile. It's a Verizon device since it ends in VL.
Now if you bought the 737TL version, unlocking would make more sense.
I'm samsung illiterate and really need help.
I hope I'm on the correct thread. I really need help. I won't use the correct terminology but hope someone is fluent in dumb blonde. My phone broke so I went to Wal-Mart and bought the j7 sky pro because it said it's powered by T-Mobile and that's my network. After powering on I was told my SIM wasn't valid. I googled the phone and learned about unlocking. So I went on YouTube to learn how only to discover that it's supposed to automatically show a screen asking for an unlock code. My phone however does no such thing. If I purchase an unlock code how do I enter it? It's really important because I have a 3 year old with special needs and in order to get to dr appointments for him we use uber but to install uber on my new phone I need a code to be sent via text and since my network is locked I can't receive texts. This could literally be a matter of life and death for my child. I can't afford another 100 dollar phone and without uber don't even have a way to get to a store to buy one. Any help would mean so much

Type #83865625# (#TFUNLOCK#) and it will prompt for the unlock codes. Yes codes. There should be two of them. As for root, I am working on it. Ive come pretty close already but don't wait for me to do all the work, go find the engineering system or engroot and post it.

Hey there, I want to sim unlock this Gs8 I got from Sprint, Model: Sm-G950U , Software version: G950USQS2BQL1, I received an unlock code but was not able to input the code because it just said sim error contact sprint immediately, Unlocking by sprint isn't a choice as they extorted money out of me, I really want my galaxy s8 to be in service again any Idea where to start? Any help will be much appreciated , I come from a background of good software knowledge so other approaches are good too.
Sprint extorted money out of you?
Extortion is illegal in this country...
Does your phone asks for codes or not?
If it doesn't ask for code you can try the following 3 methods, however, they are not 100% guarantee to work:
Method #1: Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press #7465625*638*# Once prompted for code, enter the 8 digit Unlock Code.
Method #2: Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: #7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE#
Method #3: Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: #0111*UNLOCKCODE#
If none of these work, also check if your phone's IMEI is clean and not reported or blacklisted by Sprint.
Sprint phones are usually unlocked one of two ways and neither has anything to do with a code. One is via Sprint with an OTA thing. The other is via root + a 3rd party tool like z3x, Octopus, or something similar.

I bought the phone from someone and thought it would work but I was trusting instead of smart.. Should've checked it out first. Anyways im negative a couple hundred $$ and I would love if some one would be able to help guide me through unlocking the SIM and if necessary rooting etc. To make it work for my Metro PCS account. In short I need to be able to I assume "SIM unlock" my S8 and hope it'll just be ready to pop my metro SIM into it and it works. Any advice? Will it work if I can just unlock it and use my metro SIM? Or since its an the lease hadnt been fully paid will that be a problem... Ive checked on a couple sites that let you see the IMEI number and if its black listed but it isn't... Please help.

Correct. It IS an advertisement - and not a very good one. He obviously has no knowledge of phones whatsoever if he thinks that Sprint devices use codes
I too have a Sprint phone which I wanted to unlock with the help of information here on the site. Since you won't be able to use unlock codes, and also bcause when I called Sprint they wouldn't help me -told me to contact the seller of the phone to have it unlocked, I was desperate for any unlocking method. Hard to find a working one and didn't want to waste too much time (old Galaxy S5 was already at it's last breath) I made contact with one of the unlockers here on XDA and one was able to unlock it remotely for me. I did pay $15 but with the crappy internet I have and since most unlocking sites are asking $39 for unlocking S8 then I really didn't mind this $15. Took well over a few hours to do since I had to download combination file for my phone which took a while. It's unlocked now thanx to vosi7en here at xda. I do have 1 problem now and that's tethering.....I don't have the option to do any hotspots. Anyone have an idea? I can't root yet cuz I'm on latest Oreo now.

I'm not sure what a "tmobile for vzw sim" is. But you might need to remove the Sprint bloatware in order for it to work properly
