Try some third party unlocking websites. I used cellunlocker.net and it worked. its about $25.

I tried them - they returned my money - "unable to unlock at present time".
Which service did you use?
I was trying to unlock the Atrix 2 too . Which service were you trying ? Has anyone unlocked the atrix yet? I think i saw a video showing the unlock procedure from one of the service providers.
will one of these from the link not work?

i have unlocked sim on other devices by calling att and having them do it.
someone reported att refusing to unlock their A2 though.
you will need to call and tell them that you are travelling and need to sim unlock the phone. they will do a customer check (see if you're activity with att warrants allowing you to get the unlock code).
doesn't hurt to try
i doubt 3rd party unlocking places will be able to do it at this point.
Is there a way to unlock the D2G to like t-mobile or att?
First you have to call Verizon and ask for the SIM unlock code. they will only give you it if you have been with them for 6 months and your account is in good standing order (no late payments etc).
Then root your phone.
Then use the Band unlock. More information can be found here
Hey jbroderick,
I want to confirm something, you also need to be in the US where you can get US verizon signal to properly sim unlock, this is true? if it is, there is any way to do this outside the US?
Thanks dude!
You do not have to be in the USA for the unlock code to be entered. You do not have to be on a cellular or WiFi network.
I think there is no way to unlock s2g if you don`t have verizon code, problem is you are outside usa.
Hey Luisfebear,
Other chilean told me that on sim-unlock.net he bought a working code to unlock in Chile the D2G. The only problem is that are 3 "different" phones por the D2G. I married with the "Motorola A956" since it's the Model that appears on the label next to the IMEI.
If you se some feedback of the D2G on sim-unlock.net, you'll see that people from other countries succesfully unlock the phone.
I'll post later for my experience.
Hello all, i recently bought Moto G 4G from Tesco but it is sim locked. All ebay sellers give certain IMEI numbers that can be unlocked and my device is not one of them. Maybe someone have found one that can unlock all IMEI? Thx!
P.S Sorry wrong thread, if someone can move it to Q and A

SIM unlock AT&T XT1045
eBay vendors are reporting they can't find unlock code for AT&T XT1045. Doe anyone know reliable place for unlock code?
TIA
Sorry, I appreciate this is a really old thread, but I wanted to share my experience of trying to SIM unlock a Moto G 4G locked to Tesco. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone to use TB and AdAway. I tried to get a SIM unlock code from various vendors on eBay but all gave refunds as they couldn't find an unlock code.
I paid £10 to Tesco but they couldn't get a code and said they passed it on to Motorola. I heard nothing so went direct to Motorola Support. They confirmed my IMEI was correct but said they did not have an unlock code, a subsidy code they called it. They were polite but constantly said they had no code. I pressed them and eventually they told me they couldn't help as I had rooted my phone and they couldn't access my SIM unlock code. I said I had applied to unlock the bootloader and asked had my phone told them what I had done to it? Did they not have records of each code for each IMEI? They ignored that and repeated they didn't have a code for me.
Now, call me cynical, but I suggest Motorola are refusing to help or deleted the SIM unlock code when I applied to unlock my bootloader, as to my understanding the two are not linked on the phone and unlocking the bootloader has no effect on the SIM lock. I have passed the matter back to Tesco but am not going to hold my breath.
My advice would be to look at SIM unlocking your Moto G first before anything else, then unlock the bootloader after that.
hey.
just a quick message for anyone else that runs into this issue. i also had problems unlocking my moto g 4g (xt1039) locked to tesco mobile. i had rooted and unlocked bootloader, and was buying unlock codes from various sellers on ebay, but each one said code not found for my imei and they refunded me.
eventually a seller messaged me saying that the regular server had rejected my imei, but that an unlock code could be obtained from 'motorola not found server' for £2.99. so i paid the cash and got the code about 1-2 days later. can't post a link as this is a new account, but seller is mnz technologies.
IMEI 355488060966817 Globe Telecoms Motorola Moto G. Thanks. Can you still unlock it?
So, I have an Xperia Z3, D6616, stock, locked bootloader still, and I'm considering sim unlocking the device for use on AT&T. Bought it on craigslist. It's currently locked to T-Mobile. Most unlock websites say not to purchase the unlock code for the device if it is locked to T-Mobile due to an unlocking app that T-Mobile installs on handsets that prevents third party unlocking. See attached pictures. I'm an AT&T customer, so this is a bit of a pain for me.
Called T-Mobile, they will not unlock the device as it does not meet the requirements. I'm not a T-Mobile customer either, so there is no account history associated with this IMEI. I have a feeling that someone bought this device at a subsidized price, sold it new in box, and pocketed the cash. Now I have a fancy T-Mobile MP3 player and digital camera that won't play nice with my AT&T sim....
Has anyone successfully unlocked this device for use on another GSM carrier while originally being locked to T-Mobile without going through the carrier's unlocking process? If so, what website/service did you use? I'm considering selling this thing as it's a bit useless on my network thus far, being locked to another carrier and all.
Thanks in advance.
is this me being a bit daft, but could you not simply put an unbranded firmware on the device via ftf and simply unlock the device via a website?

I'm not sure if that's a possibility. There is no root for this device without unlocking the bootloader, which wipes the TA partition and causes you to lose the DRM keys and cripples camera functionality. I'm trying to avoid unlocking the bootloader for as long as possible, but if unlocking, rooting, and installing a custom ROM will assist in sim unlocking, it may be in my best interest to do so.
I'm trying to do a network unlock with a code and keeping the phone stock if at all possible, at least until a root method without unlocking the bootloader is found, if it ever is... I just need a way to get a code for unlocking WITHOUT going through T-Mobile.
you don't need root to flash an unbranded ftf., once done then simply use a website and buy the unlock code, with the tmobile firmware out of the way there shouldn't be any interference in terms of network unlock.
what i am saying is:
1: flash global unbranded firmware via flashtools with ftf
2: buy your network unlock code
3: enter code as no t-mobile firmware is available on the device anymore to interfere
i am not saying this is possible as i do not have a t-mobile - us device to test, but my vodafone branded z3 has had an unbranded firmware flashed by myself with no root.
i hope this helps clear up any confusion.

I may try this tonight.
If I flash another firmware with flashtool, can I return to stock after unlocking without root access?
Rooting and/or unlocking the bootloader or flashing a custom rom or a different firmware has absolutely nothing to do with SIM lock.
If you try and sim unlock by doing any of that you are wasting your time.
Best bet is to go to your carrier and ask them to sim unlock it

Yeah, that has been my experiences in the past. The carrier always did it for me. But T-Mobile will not unlock this device as it does not meet eligibility requirements, and the unlock websites say not to buy a code for a T-Mobile US locked Z3. I need it unlocked for use on AT&T. I remember unlocking HTC devices with SuperCID and unlocking Samsung devices with dialer codes. Anything like that for the Sony side of the house? this will be my first Sony phone.

Not that I know of. In the UK you can get any phone sim unlocked on any market stall in a few minutes for a fiver. Its not really to do with the phone but the carrier and the laws you have over the pond.
Simply try a websites unlock, I do not believe T-Mobile can block carrier unlocks. Who has told you otherwise?
See the attachments in the OP. The unlocking websites are saying not to purchase the codes if you have a T-Mobile US locked Z3. I don't want to waste $40, especially when there are no refunds, and want to know if anyone has successfully unlocked with a website and NOT the carrier.
D6616 has an NOT unlockable bootloader, so that method is a no-go.
If it was on EIP and they sold it, the phone may be blacklisted by T-Mobile already
I don't believe you can flash a different version firmware, for multiple reasons, one of which is because it's a D6616 and not a D6603
The T-Mobile SIM unlock tool does work if all conditions are met.
Good luck OP, I think you might have a difficult time with this one

Again, the bootloader status has nothing to do with SIM lock.
Flashing another firmware will also not effect sim lock.
I'm seriously considering selling this device and going for another bootloader unlockable handset due to this unlock headache. T-Mobile is no help for unlocking this IMEI.

Sorry for the first line, didn't mean to get that wrong. Definitely agree that bootloader unlock and SIM unlock have nothing to do with each other.
Called T-Mobile again, tried to unlock. No account number to tie unlock request to since I use At&t as a carrier. They recommend I call Sony directly and ask for an unlock. I did, Sony told me to contact the carrier again. I do, and have the T-Mobile rep call Sony guys on a three way call. I explain that I purchased the device on craigslist, not a T-Mobile account holder, I'm an active duty military member, phone was several hundred dollars, I didn't know... boohoo, I'm dumb, I should have purchased from Sony, No moneys to get a new phone since this was so expensive, etc. Sad poor me story, you know.
Sat on hold for a bit, but Sony caved and said they would attempt a remote unlock via code, but it would be between 1-3 days and the reply will be via email. Time will tell, now. Just waiting to see what happens. I hope it works. I had to have the situation escalated to the third level of supervisors to get this far...
sounds like good news, if that fails, you could ask someone you no on T-MOBILE or a family member to give them a ring and pretend its there phone, should also do the trick
That's a good idea!! Thanks for that. I'll find someone at work who has T-Mobile and go that route if I need to.
any updates.. i badly need my T mobile Xperia Z3 to be get it unlocked...
Sadly, there is no update. T-Mobile will not unlock the device unless I use it on their network for 45 days, ahve an account in good standing, etc. This isn't going to happen, as I am an AT&T subscriber. I have the Z3 listed for sale on craigslist. Awaiting a sale or trade. If anyone wants to swap phones for a still in the box T-Mobile Z3, let me know. Looking for an S5, G3, or Nexus 6. Gsm variants only. Too bad, cause I really like the Z3. I would keep it if I could sim unlock.
Is the unlocking app based off the Sim card? Cause I bought my tmo Z3 3 days ago. Used my Sim from my moto x. After I got everything set up I tried the permanent unlock which was successful.
