[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisb22:
Hi All,

First, I hope this is the right section & I hope I am not duplicating another thread. I have a odd situation I think and I don't know what to do. I picked up my Atrix 4G off of craigslist a few days back. The phone is great but it will not accept my ATT sim card. It asked to enter the unlock code for the sim. It's an ATT phone so I am not sure why my sim doesn't work (Same sim card works in unlocked Vibrant). So, I purchased the unlock codes from two separate places and the codes were the same and did not work when I enter them.

I am at a lost now. I don't know what to do.

Any ideas are appreciated?

Oh yeah, I am not sure what the previous did but before I even put my sim, I did use the bypass Motoblur method to use the phone with sim & blur. I did use aroot and glad enable also. After the sim would not work, I wiped data, created a blur account and tried sim again but no success.

Please help me, I want to use this awesome phone!:confused:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlemonds:
did you get this resolved? i am having the same issue
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisb22:
Nope. Still not fixed. I am not sure what to do at this point.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kadzui:
i have the same problem..maybe the case is that you entered the incorrect code more than 10 times?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayan:
Have you checked that the IMEI code printed under the battery matches the one displayed on screen?

I was under the impression that if you blow the 10 unlock attempts you will have to wait several hours to try again. In other words, it will not permanently lock.

I might be wrong though.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geekalok:
How many numbers do you have in your unlock code which you are entering into the phone?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semseddin:
Op,

You might have ruined something software wise, did you try flashing a full sbf version 4.1.8.3 preferably ?

I think it should work for you.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kadzui:
there are 8 digits in my unlock code and the imei is the same in the box, under the battery and in the phone
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srichit:
Same issue - No solution

I have same issue with Atrix bought on local craigslist. I have tried restoring to multiple stock versions.

AT&T spent two hours figuring out the issue and they tried even entering correct unlock code.

They asked me to contact motorola as they feel it is software issue. I will Motorola on Tuesday and post the result.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avvake:
Hi I have the Exact same issue. The Atrix that i got off Craigslist were sealed. And I tried unlock code for Tmobile network off three different sites and still no luck in the locking the phone. So i went and i got Att sims and said the same thing "Sim Network Unlock Pin"

Anywho, I went to Att store and they couldn't figured out and they dont have a phone in stock to trade in. So after many attempt with Att and their customer service, they advise me to contact Motorola.

The funny thing is that i've sent the phone to Motorola two times and clearly stated my issue with the phone and they did not fix it and just send the phone back to me. So i got piss after wasting 350$ on a phone that i can't use and another 30 Bucks for shipping the phone to Motorola. I contact directly to their tech and the tech support ask me to call ATT. LOL right? So one of the tech just offer me a free shipping so they can take A CLOSER LOOK into it.

Apparently Motorola doesn't do phone exchange all they do is repair it. Any exchange would have to deal with ATT and for that to happen you would have to sign up a warranty plan with them which is $5/month.

So i got one last shot at this. and I'll keep you guys post on update. Sorry for my poor English.

I tried it alll tooooooooooo !!!

My phone was locked to orange network UK. I wanted to use a VIRGIN network Sim card... SO I called the VIRGIN Network technical support team... and this Silly girl keep on giving me few codes till ......IT STOPPED RESPONDING to any code.. so the phone now will not take any codes. I bought many codes in hope from websites..none worked.

I called ORANGE ..but they had no clue tooooo...

I unlocked the bootlooger thing too. I flashed it few times in hope....and I DID what ever I could do but in vain......

I hope we get some smart ass genius to get the break to this problem....!!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pacwell:
Very similar issue here. I was in Costa Rica for a month and requested the SIM network unlock from ATT and they provided as it had been 6 months after my purchase. The code did not work in Costa Rica and only used WIFI while over there. I got back to the States yesterday and it still doesn't work, and by now have definitely attempted to enter the code 10 or more times. Its supposedly locked to ATT after 10 unsuccessful attempts but it will not work even with my original ATT SIM.

ATT sent me a new Atrix but I would like to get this one working as well. I have a few questions.

If I root is there any apps designed for root to unlock?

If not will a custom Rom bypass the need to unlock or be unlocked already?

If neither of these work is the phone basically bricked simply because the code (provided by ATT) was entered incorrectly 10 times?

THANKS!

I have exactly the same problem. I have tried unlock the boot loader. My phone already show unlocked on top left screen when power on.

Idk why It still ask for Sim network unlock code when I put my T-mobile Sim in and power up.

It seems hopeless to me after trying to search for someday.

I have tried many some rom.

Please anyone help us..

Thank you very much
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackyogi:
FYI, Press #073887* on atrix will bring you to the screen which ask:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackyogi:
I found that unlock boot loader is different with sim network unlock.

So we may not have ways to unlock sim network at this time

only the bootloader unlock
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdlopez83:
How so is it different?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phalanx7621:
He means he realized that unlocking (the bootloader) is differnet than unlocking (the sim).

Hi friends in misfortune, I expect that on your phone code is entered more than three times, need technical support, I did hard reset, put new software, still can not. Better contact with motorola , if there are any news stories say

Help

I have had the same problems. My old atrix the code worked the first time with no issues. I have since let my daughter take it so i baught one off ebay and paid three different sites for exact same codes. Nothing i have done and nobody that ive contacted has helped. I have been obsessed with this since i loved my old one but i am going crazy! I have 4.5.141 with 2.3.6 and just rooted the phone since that was one suggestion and that also did not change anything. Ive tried so many times it now says subsidy locked but still allows you to enter code after so long. It dont even act like its checking the code it instantly dismisses it. If i figure anything out i will let you know and please let me knoe if you do!

It might be more of a mail app issue.. but the new keyboard has the send etc buttons over the message body when in landscape mode. The old one didn't do that. I'm looking for one closer to the old multi-touch keyboard because of that.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmeek:
I used PdaNet for Bluetooth DUN once...

Before getting a 4G LTE usb modem for my laptop, I occasionally used PdaNet for bluetooth DUN... The free version worked fine for bluetooth, and as I recall, the license was for PC-based software to make the USB tethering work at full-tilt. I just used stock Windows7 DUN support to connect via my fascinate with the PdaNet activated.

If it were me, I would follow the url Tim shared and use the wifi tether :-).

When I try to connect in mass storage mode and open the sd card in windows it says to "please insert disk into removable disk (f)".. Also when i plug it into the adapter and into the card reader on my computer it doesn't show the drive available... Sound defective??? Please save me a trip to tmobile tomorrow!!!
[HTC Sensation] Wonderstruck80:
**Update...

Was able to finally get the computer to recognize the sd card however I am unable to connect my sensation in mass storage mode. I turned on usb debugging and installed htc sync on my computer... Any help would be much appreciated...
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
this may seem like a dumb question, but when it popped up on the phone did you select disk mode?
[HTC Sensation] Wonderstruck80:
I sure did. Selected "mount as disk drive". The drive letter (E) shows up in my computer but when i double click it, it acts like when u try to access a cd-rom drive with no cd in it.
[HTC Sensation] mysterioustko:
Try putting formatting the card. It sounds like it just needs to be formatted and it will probably function fine.
[HTC Sensation] Wonderstruck80:
Here is some new and interesting info... When I plug it into my vista laptop and go to disk management it reads the drive as fat32.. but when i do it on my windows 7 desktop disk management says RAW. What the hell does this mean?
[HTC Sensation] mysterioustko:
...again....FORMAT THE CARD. From everything you have said, it sounds like you need to format the card.
[HTC Sensation] Wonderstruck80:
Okay, I did a long format to FAT32. I am still not able to access the card though my windows 7 computer with mass storage mode. Again the drive letter shows in my computer but I am not able to access any files within. Any other ideas???
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
Get GParted and burn it to a CD. Fire it up in your PC (put the disk in the CD drive, once it's burned, then restart PC) and then once GParted has started connect your SD card with a card reader. Then format it to FAT32.

Keep trying this until it works. GParted has solved every issue I've had with a corrupted or defective SD card before...so it's worth a go, even if it is a lot of hassle :)
[HTC Sensation] omar302:
Just to make sure, when you selected Disck Drive, did you press done button at the bottom?
[HTC Sensation] Wonderstruck80:
**Solved

Here's what I have to do as this is the ONLY way that it will work:

1. Connect phone to pc with usb cable

2. Select mount as disk drive and hit done

3. Go to settings>applications>development and check usb debugging

And immediately after I check that box my computer opens windows explorer to the sd card.

All of this shouldn't be necessary tho.. There's gotta be a better way... =(

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
On, mac, we have an issue. I am a Mac and Windows user. I can't use my mac for flashing. I need windows. Why, because Heimdall is "compatible with mac". Unfortunately, everyone has had issues with Mac Heimdall above 10.6 Snow Leopard. this means that Leopard and under, work just fine.(I believe) I have Lion (10.7) which also is incompatible with Heimdall.

Dual boot with Leopard or Linux or Windows for it to work.

Hello

I just recently bought a tab. I was under the impression i could use it to make calls. I have service with tmobile and have been trying to use modem switcher. If i use my sim that came with tab i get a msg saying i am unable to make calls from this number. If i take the sim out of my vibrant it seems to work. But my question is if it is possible to do it with my sim card that came with it and os 3g and voice possible.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ua412:
I don't think [and I say think because i'm only 99% sure i'm correct] that you can use the data only sim to call. That service wasn't activated on the sim because they don't expect you to be using your tab to call people.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btyork:
Short answer, no, you can't get 3g and voice with tmobile.

Im in the DC area and my phone wont connect to 4g for life of me (im in a strong 4g area). tried toggling. tried forcing LTE only(either 1x shows up or nothing at all). tried turning off data for 10 minutes. tried removing battery. tried full wipe (wiped three times cache, tried clearing davlik cache and battery stats...three times) reinstalling 1.7. I can still connect to 3g and 1x. Just no 4g

i was initially on bamf's 2.0b5 and noticed i couldnt get 4g. so i restored back to 1.7 and still no 4g. and no i didnt forget to flash the appropriate radios. i called verizon to see if there were issues with the network in the area and they came up with nothing. is my radio broken or am i missing something here?

no such thing as a dumb question. just dumb people. hahaha im kidding.:p just trying to make light of the situation a little at least. i had a teacher that would always joke around like that so i had to say it.

but i digress, no the battery cover is not off. like i said, 3g and 1x works. just no 4g. can it be possible that just the 4g radio could be broken or if that were the case, i wouldnt have any data network at all?......

and as i was typing this message, my 4g connection had just connected. i think it has to do with the area where i live because I am now in my work building and it seems to be working fine now...i guess verizon lied to me...:confused: thanks for the suggestions. will post if things change.
