I've used cellunlocker.net in the past for all of my AT&T Samsung phones and have been successful every time.

AT&T phones go here its free and they barley ever check the phones eligibility.

And even if not att customer, they will still send unlock code.

Unlocking

So... I bought an unlock code because ATT was being an asshat and refused to give me an unlock code despite their promise to give me one.
I bought the code from cellunlocker, and I've tried all the methods except using a different sim. They all give me the same result: "The old pin you typed is not correct".
Do I have to use a different sim or is something terribly wrong with my phone? I'm going to China next week and I plan to use my phone.
Different Sim. Non att Sim

Tmo or simple mobile. Simple mobile sims are just a dollar on ebay or about 2-5 in craigslist. That is of course if you dont have friends on tmo.

Still doesn't work! I've tried all the methods! D:
Was I supposed to select Galaxy S II or Galaxy S II LTE?

Yeah that's what I selected.
Strange. I've sent an email to support, but knowing support desks, they will probably be idiots.

How to activate a nexus 5 bought thru Google play on T mobile

Hey all. This may sound like a noob question but I've been on sprint for YEARS and I'm totally new to t mobile and gsm devices (I'm thrilled about the change tho). Anyhow, I'm wondering, what's the process to activate a nexus 5 that I buy thru Google play onto t mobile? T mobile hasn't started selling it yet and I'd like to order it NOW. I already have a t mobile Sim card and it fits/works with the nexus 4. What else besides just popping the Sim card in would I have to do?
Thanks in advance!

That's about it, pop it in and turn it on. Should work right off the bat.

H*ly cr*p! Are you serious? It's that easy? Why the hell would anyone wait for t mobile to start selling it? Also, if I get the device from Google BEFORE t mobile starts selling it, you think it'll still work on the network?
Thanks a lot.

This is awesome news. I just have ONE more concern. If it's not shipping for weeks or something, will Google charge my credit card right away, or not until it ships?
And finally, what's the return policy? I don't wanna return it but if for whatever reason I can't sell my note 3 I may have to.
Thanks again guys!

They will not charge you until it actually ships.
They have a 15 day return policy, but if there is nothing wrong with it you'll pay return shipping.
I ordered it. Yay!!!!! I've never ordered a nexus device straight from Google. So exciting!!!!

T-Mobile is Unlock App Rocks

Not sure if this can go here but I was having problems unlocking my Note 5 on T-Mobile, I am financing it but I have had it on my account account for more than 45 days and every time I used the unlock appreciate it would error out well I called T-Mobile and I decided to trying while I was on hold and BAM it unlocked, so I was able permanent unlock KY T-Mobile Note 5 sexyness, which is awesome the app took a little loving to work but it did eventually and now I can use my AT&T Sim when I'm out in the boonies.

That's odd - You aren't supposed to be able to unlock until the device is paid for.
I just tried it and it permanently unlocked mine too! Woot!
Confirmed on mine and my wife's phone too. That's hilarious.
I'm disagreeing at all, but I believe they do say in the fine print you can as long as the phone has been on your line for 45 days
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
is this the "device unlock" app from playstore?
I tried using that one and it told me that my device is not compatible.
Confirm worked on both of my Note 5, but not work on my S6 edge
To those who had the app work, are your phones rooted? I wonder if it matters. Mine is fully paid off but was paid for and used very briefly by someone on Swappa. It hasn't been on my line for 45 days yet and is rooted; the app is saying my device isn't compatible.
No I'm not rooted and you cant be it seems and yes you have to have your phone on your line for 45 days or more active
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Mine are not rooted. Also, it wont work if you use wifi connection to request unlock.
I don't see any device unlock app on play worth the try , witch is it ?

Do you know if we were to uproot and go back to stock if it would then work since root is being removed?
I'm not exactly sure worth a try.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
well i bought my note phone in the USA (currently in europe) and they unlocked it for me but with root.
And when i try to use this application it either sais failure in procedure or unknow reason.
the phone is fully paid off... so should i reflash the stock version and then try the application to see if i can unlock it (and yes i have my tmobile sim with me)

Permanent Unlock

I buy phone in USA . Check imei in t-mobile . phone in white list . live in east europe . i click Permanent Unlock but write "Failed" . how unlock ?
you have to wait 40 days before you can ask T-Mobile to unlock your new phone.
maybe someone has a sample letter which should then write to t-mobile
i search video but I do not know whether it's true

This post is over a year. Service for this has been down in the past weeks. Tmobile really getting ahead here
yes i see that, but was worth a try for the exact reason you specified...most sites cant do it or are charging over $100.
Please post any solutions you guys find

So what exactly has T-mobile done? Why can't no one offer an unlock service via the app in a reasonable price? it used to be 30$ now it's over a 100$, why? And will it be back soon?

Thing is, I sent messages to ebay sellers offering unlock for $100+ and they're also saying service is down.
There's simply no unlock service for T-Mobile S7.
We must do something.

I used Swiftunlock.com to unlock mine less than a year ago. It was 20 bucks but was NOT swift. Took a couple of days to get the code but it did work and they sent other unlock codes as well but I'm not sure what they do exactly. I'm using my G930T on AT&T now.
How did you get to unlock your phone? Please advise

[Q] Is it possible to buy factory unlocked note 5, root it, then use on Verizon?

So, title says it all. Is it possible to buy a factory unlocked note 5 (like say...perhaps from Ebay), root it and then use it on Verizon?
Yea but you might not get 4glte only 3g, why would you do that though when the Verizon note 5 has already been rooted?

Thank you for your quick response. I haven't seen where the Verizon variant has been rooted. Do you have a link?

iroot doesn't work for Verizon and in the second link it doesn't work for Verizon, either.
Yah your right I didn't fully read through the comments, u can use a T-Mobile for Verizon I did it for the note 4 before it got rooted and worked on Verizon without 4g, but I was getting really fast 3g speeds at least 10/20 mbps, the note 4 is also a great phone that is rooted on verizon

Thnx. I was considering the Note 4 but am quite frustrated with how Verizon is trying to lock us down lately. While I've had Samsung devices for a long time, I'm now thinking about the Nexus 6P...
I would go with nexus for sure or one plus devixe, but the note 4 retail editions have now all been successful in converting to developer editions witch is really dope, it brought life back to my device.
