How to unlock Lumia 820 from AT&T?

Hi I use T-Mobile USA as my cell phone company. Recently I was able to get a hold of Lumia 820 that is locked to AT&T. T-Mobile for example always unlocked my phones if they are locked to T-Mobile, but looks like AT&T is a different story. I have even unlocked my Android phones through rooting and so on. I have searched some paid unlocking sites, although they do have Lumia 820 listed, but AT&T is missing in the list of carriers. Is there a way to somehow get/extract the sim unlock # from the phone?

A customer in good standing with AT&T USA, can try calling customer service and ask them to SIM unlock the phone so that you can use your own SIM card while travelling to Europe. They may do this or they may try to sell a discounted Europe travel plan that uses your existing SIM card. If you don't get the answer you like, call back on a different day.
Good luck with any other tactic until Q2 2013.

Thanks for the info! I never had AT&T and with T-Mobile it is easy, just like you suggested about calling AT&T. So you are saying that while the phone is exclusive to AT&T for 6 months, then I won't be able to unlock it for the time being?

How can i get the unlock code?
I Bought the nokia lumia 820 AT&T on eBay but i live in Mexico and i can't use AT&T Carrier because AT&T doesn't exist here, exist TELCEL and i need unlock the phone.
Ways to unlock the phone?
-Unlock codes
Whats more?

Has anyone successfully unlocked the lumia 820?

I called AT&T USA today and asked them about unlocking the Nokia 820.
I told them I was travelling to Europe on business and wanted to be able to buy an local SIM at the destination airport upon my arrival rather than pay for an international plan on the AT&T SIM. The rep said OK, checked a few things and told me that my phone was already unlocked and that I need not enter a code to unlock it.
I asked if I could test this out by popping in a T-Mobile SIM tomorrow just to confirm and he said it should work no problem.
I don't have a T-mobile SIM to try. Can someone please try one in their phone purchased and activated on the AT&T network? Can someone please call AT&T with the same line about travelling to Europe as above and see if you get the same info from the customer rep?
I wonder if folks trying the get their USA-sourced phones online outside of the USA first need to activate the phone on a USA carrier. Maybe it does some magic over the air.

If you need for example, T-Mobile sim card, then just ask them. It can be deactivated or brand new sim card that doesn't have service. If you phone is locked it will show you the box to type in the code. If unlocked you shouldn't get that.

I bought broken Lumia 820 from Ebay. Repaired it but after inserting my sim I got "locked" message. Can´t get the unlock code from AT&T also as I am not their current or previous client. Also I live in Europe. Seller was not able to get the unlock code also ( electronic shop)...
Tried to make FW upgrade but no go.
Any help ?
Unlocking via PUK code?

PUK codes are for sim cards, won't help with the device. When a non ATT sim is inserted it should ask for an unlock code. You'll have to purchase one online. If it does not ask for a code and just states the device it's locked that means the incorrect code has been input too many times. At that point there's nothing that can be done.

Any good place for unlocking it cheap?

J have the 820 lumia but live in the caribbean can anyone get a code unlock for me from at&t

Have you all try to flash your lumia with other firmware?
I think flash your lumia to other firmware can unlock your lumia,

If it were that easy would it already have been done? Has anyone tried flashing?

I think your phone is flashed by your carrier, they was modifying the firmware, so it locked and you can't use another SIM Card
So I say again to try flash your phone with another firmware, try global version like APAC, etc, . . download your firmware and flash it with Nokia Care Suite, if you want back to your stock firmware just use Nokia Software Updater for Retail and it will select, download, and flash it automatically with your stock firmware
hope it work

no, unlock the locked phone is not easy like that
you don't need (can't) to flash the global fw
all you need is the code to unlock from locked carrier to make it accept other carrier (for me is AT&T)
the unlocker code is differnce on every phone
here is my unlocked AT&T 820 running on Viettel (Vienamese carrier)

[Completed] New LG G2 phone - this phone is permanently locked and cannot be unlocked

Well as my unfortunate luck has it, I wanted to upgrade my old Nexus 4 to a LG G2 D801 unit. I bought one new-refurbished off ebay and it just arrived recently.
I tried to put in my WIND mobile sim card and realized the phone is not detecting it. After looking into the issue for the majority of the day, it seems that the phone is hard/sim locked.
I went into the area where one would go to unlock the phone, only to be greeted by this unfortunate message.

Now first thing I did was start searching the interwebz....and I can't seem to find much on this.
I am not sure what I can do. The shipping back to China, well that's out of the question due to the high cost.
I can't use the phone as it's a T-Mobile device.
I can't unlock the phone because it's hard locked.
Is there anything I can do to get it working? Does anybody know how I could possibly reset the counter for this?
Thank you in advance.

Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist
Unfortunally the phone is locked and only the T-Mobile carrier can work on it .
It is locked from factory default state. So there is nothing you can do to unlock it (from what i know).

Hello, thanks for the reply. That's unfortunate for me I guess.
Now when you say, it's locked from the factory default state...If I drive down to the states and buy a T-Mobile LG G2 from the store, would that be also hardlocked?
I am trying to send this phone back to China and I know T-Mobile stores still have the LG G2 as certified pre-owned.

Yes if you buy another T-Mobile phone, you will stick on T-Mobile only and you will not have the ability to use other carrier other than T on that phone... But you will still be able to Root and make all those stuff but to change carrier will not be able to.

Thank you Nilac.
I am a bit confused. The phone I received, it seems like the SIM code unlock was entered 10 times wrong and thus is why the phone is hard locked to T-mobile now.
If I buy a phone from the T-Mobile store, it will be hardlocked also? I don't understand why it would be, since many people have those phones unlocked?

Unlocked but not "Unlocked" from carrier they still stick with that carrier.
If you are looking for example on the S6 forum you will see that there are separated forums for Verizon, T-Mobile etc... They are separated because the phone is not exactly the same as the international model as the carrier modified it, so a separated development needs to be done for that phone.....
You simply cannot uncarrier (from what i know) only if you took your phone to a professional guy who is super expert and can do it, but from what i know it's impossible to uncarrier a phone.... Better always to get an international one in order to avoid these problems

I think maybe I confused you or myself.
The T-Mobile LG G2 will work on the AWS frequency that I require here in Canada for WIND mobile.
If the phone is locked to T-mobile, I could use a service online, provide them the IMEI and the network the phone came from and then I would be given the unlock code to allow the phone to read a SIM card other then T-Mobile.
Example video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8m4ru062k_M
Notice when he puts in the prompt to get to the network settings, he can put in a PIN. When I tried that, I get the locked message.

Well, as of Jan 22, attunlockcode.com has removed the warning: "Please do not place order for alcatel onetouch idol 3 unlock code. we are receiving wrong code from database." The new price for the unlock code is $15.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE:
As of Feb 20, attunlockcode.com stop taking order for this phone because :"we are receiving wrong code from database."

Found this unlocker for the Idol 3: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/ALCATEL-Fact...6780e73&pid=100033&rk=1&rkt=2&sd=252179812698

I still have not seen a single person say they purchased and used an unlock code from ANYONE that worked. Getting one from cricket is a given but if you entered the wrong code more than 3 times I think, it won't unlock after that without returning to Alcatel for service.

someone on here previously recommended using
Cellunlocker.net so i decided to give them a try with
my One Touch Idol 3 as i am taking a 4 week european
vacation in a few months.
Cellunlocker.net sent me a set of unlock codes within
30 minutes but neither of them worked. they are now
asking me for the "Provider ID" and i have no idea
what it is. it's not on the box or sticker on the back
of the phone and the battery is not removable.
this is what they sent me
Hi there,
We require the Provider ID on the back of your Alcatel phone above your IMEI number. It looks like XXXXX-XXXXXX.
For example:
Model: ONE TOUCH 5020T
TCT MOBILE
Made in China
5020T-2ATBUS1-R ⬅︎
013121234512345
*If the phone does not have a removable back or battery, do not disassemble your phone as it may simply be on the sticker on the back
Or
Please type *#837# or *#3228#. Your phone will provide you with a lot of alphanumeric characters
Please type out any lines that start with the letter X.
For example: X325CS87
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
*#837# does nothing and *#3228# does this ⬇︎
nothing starts with an "X"

this is what the phone displays with a SIM from a different carrier ⬇︎
it started with 10 available tries, now down to 8

I have tried two unlock sites too. No luck. I don't think Cricket is "releasing" the unlock codes to the third-parties. I am hoping Cricket will change their mind soon.

found the provider ID but in the end Cellunlocker.net was unable to provide
a code that works. they even had me do a hard reset before trying the code
one last time.

I've provided these same info to the unlockers too. No luck.
My advice to you (and me) is to
1. wait for the "releasing" of these unlock codes, may be in a few months, or
2. sell your phone, or
3. maybe do some "illegal" hacking of IMEI. (not discussed in this forum).
I am leaning option 2.

Tried unlockbase web site but they could not provide unlock code either on new cricket idol 3. guess I'll have to hold onto it for 5 more months or sell it.

i tried several unlocking providers and none were able to provide a working unlock code for the idol 3

unlock service told me alcatel servers have been down for last week and to try again in another week... dont know if its true but thats what they told me

Question Anyone here able to run a gsma imei check?

I have a factory unlocked 6a that I'm wanting to buy, but guy thinks it may/may not have a lock put on from a carrier. Not sure if he means a financial lock or what. I'm needing it to be clean on both VZW and TMO, but honestly don't care if it has a lock on ATT (no signal here). I've ran dozen of the free imei ones, but since not of them tap into the gsma database, it's not real data. Anyone here able/willing to run a quick check for an old soul? I can pm the imei privately.

If you haven't already done so, you could try this for Verizon:
IMEI Information
Or this for TMO:
https://www.t-mobile.com/resources/bring-your-own-phone

Thanks I have already. Verizon seems to be only a basic band check, nothing deeper. T-Mobile does though appear to dive deeper with this message. Just trying to get clarification. Doesn't help that my OCD won't let this go ha

How can it be factory unlocked but also locked by a carrier?
Either you bought it from a carrier or didn't.

I'm assuming it's a financial lock. But I have no way to find out.

Well, if the guy isn't sure, that kind of sounds like you should buy from someone else.
Swappa has pretty good deals on this phone already.

Yeah maybe so. Trying to make a good deal work ha. So is it definitive that A12 Dec and newer patches have broken the temporary carrier unlock pixel 6 trick?

You can check the IMEI through Swappa's IMEI checker, it does check it against the GSMA registry.
Alternatively you can buy a 6a off of Swappa and not have to worry about it being network blocked etc.

Sadly Swappa doesn't give any details. In fact for a test, I used an imei from a phone that definitely does have a financial lock, and Swappa took it. It just seems any of the public searches are not a legit check.

Definitely shows details for me.
Also if you happened to check an IMEI from an AT&T finance locked phone, it will show as allowed because AT&T does not actually blacklist phones for installment plan nonpayment.

Gotcha. Any of the unlock carrier tricks work on a Spectrum phone I wonder? Not much data out there concerning.
I've come across a newer one that supposedly works on the Dec A13. The adb delete config doesn't work past the Dec patch from what I understand.

Question I can't find any solution for my tmo pixel 7 pro

People have denied that this even is something that can be on this phone. I've search everywhere any advice, I reached out to my carrier, I've even just given it time. The checkin dialer code verifies on connected to Internet but still, my OEM unlock is grayed out and says connect to the Internet or contact your carrier. It's some bs. I've read this is what Verizon models will display and it's a lost cause but this was a brand new tmo pixel 7 pro and I triple checked the packaging it has the T-Mobile information inside the box and the seal states it tmo. I just wanna unlock my bootloader. I've ran out of ideas and looked everywhere, so I'm posting to get some advice please if you have anything lemme know.

And what did the carrier say?

Regardless of which carrier you have, you must fully pay off the device before you can have them normally allow for OEM unlocking if you did not purchase the "factory unlocked" version of the device. Of course, there are ways around that via contacting your carrier before fully paying off the device. But you mentioned that you had contacted them.
So, as @bobby janow said: what did the carrier say?

The carrier had no clue what it was and they weren't sure what to do I spoke with several people and nothing. ive gotten many devices unlocked by pestering the Twitter folk till they unlock it and here is the kicker I've had 2 tmo people try to unlock it now it didn't let them and even paid a company to try and it says it is blocked for potential motherboard replacement. But its a brand new phone. I have the op 10 pro still on contract rooted unlocked obv and twrp on it as of a few days ago. Just this phone is being weird

You cannot unlock without a full sim unlock. Not a temporary one.
@tmobilehelp on Twitter can help you.

Is the prompt asking for and internet connection or contacting the carrier normal?

Dude, never, ever, ever buy a phone from a carrier if you plan to unlock/root your phone.

Yo the TMobile people lied to me and screwed sending me 3 broken OnePlus 10 pros one after the other through insurance and then I got drunk and spent 8 hours *****ing and they gave me a brand new 10 pro and a new pixel 7 pro completely free of charge

Can I really complain that much!?!?!

Btw I have discovered a lot of Verizon deep links and bs in activity launcher does anyone know what numbers of the IMEI determine the carrier for verizon

I just got my Pixel 7 PRO yestersday. In the same day I had it unlocked and a custom ROM put on it. Although I was honest and told them I needed it unlocked for development reasons. Plus I've had 3 phones through them that were sim unlocked before being paid off. I guess part of it might be a trust thing.

I'll just get a new pixel it's just a dumb fault I guess yes I know it has to be paid to do the permanent unlock except through Twitter it's a strange issue that I have

I'm Genuinely a great customer to them I've had several unlocked early and currently have the oneplus unlocked the pixel though was denyed for unlock even by the TMobile employees

The best thing you can do is take it slow and easy and keep trying different people. You can always try hitting them up on Twitter

They can do it. They're just choosing not to. The same day I got my pixel 7 pro I had it unlocked. So I know they can do it

@avid_droid went through the exact same thing (t-mobile, not first time unlocking, talking through twitter, reaching reps who don' t know anything, etc.)...
I'll link his thread speaking on it below...maybe you can commiserate together
TMobile shenanigans
So as of late, TMobile doesn't unlock devices now unless you meet their requirements. The 40 day connected and paid off rule. Impressed they are tight on this now. I recently had a OnePlus 9 pro that was paid off and bought elsewhere and they...
