[Nokia Lumia 900] Windy:
HI， what do you mean by "the name on the account and last four of the SSN."

You have to be an At&T customer if you want to unlock 900? what if I am never an ATT user?

Thanks!
[Nokia Lumia 900] romanparaskyv:
Yes, have to be ATT customer to unlock Lumia 900

Yes you have to be att customer to unlock Lumia 900.

~I was reading the XDA forum everyday with the hope to unclok thi cell phone~
[Nokia Lumia 900] Jiancarlo:
rage quit

i spoke with an ATT #$%tard today for 25mins.

was told in the same sentence that these phones are never going to be unlocked. ever. not possible. unless you have proof of purchase. lol

apparently, ebay reciepts are 3rd party sales and they don't support unlocking of 3rd party sales of att nokia lumia 900's. unless there is proof of purchase with the correct att no-commitment price. which they would not disclose to me as the person felt that anyone could change an invoice. but don't worry, i was directed to the att website to get that price - the price they couldn't tell me over the phone. but is plastered all over their website.

so a piece of paper (receipt), not the device IMEI code or their own systems can tell if a device was purchased outright and for the right amount or eligible for unlock...

i've waited since april (yes, my own fault) to find out what i already knew would be the end state. my order is still in with cellunlocker.net (week 2).

Just called at GOT IT!!!!!!!
[Nokia Lumia 900] karel_e71:
Geological: you are att customer?

I am on att prepaid, but i bought lumia on ebay for 135. I will give it a shot in the afternoon.

Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express
[Nokia Lumia 900] geological1:
Nope I am in Canada.

Bought on launch in Hawaii and this is finally the end of a long process.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Jiancarlo:
more detail plsss....

did u buy from att store in hawaii? fax att reciept or over the phone?

could i trouble you for the detailed process you followed?
[Nokia Lumia 900] geological1:
I had done all that numerous times in the past.

Honestly Iall I did this time was just call and ask for it.

It was quite easy.

Good luck.
[Nokia Lumia 900] MisterMelville:
Got mine unlocked

I called at about 7:45 this morning (I'm in Texas)

The rep I talked to mentioned at first that the phone wasn't unlockable because it's exclusive to AT&T but he'd try anyway.

To his surprise, there was an unlock code available for my phone!

I gave him my IMEI and he looked up a code for me. I kept him on the line while I punched in the PIN and after a moment I was unlocked and ready to go.

I'm not an AT&T customer and I was sure to tell him this up front. He didn't hassle me too much about not being a customer.
[Nokia Lumia 900] sushirom:
I'm so excited. I just got my unlock code. Called AT&T support and it took like 5 minutes. Information~

- I'm not an AT&T customer nor have I ever. But I've never paid for my own service. D= Always been on family's plan.

- It's 12:22PM EST

- I called in, went through the robots till I got a service rep. I simply said I'd like to request an unlock code. He asked me for a AT&T customer number. I said I didn't have one, and I don't know if I had ever had one. And I said that I recently moved back home and was put on my dad's plan which I believed to be Tmobile.

He said okay, and asked me what phone I was trying to unlock. I told him the Lumia900, then he asked me for the imei. Checked it while I was on hold, and in less than a minute he came back and told me it was eligible. He gave me the code immediately over the phone. Simple as that~.
[Nokia Lumia 900] neptunex3:
Two months back I bought my lumia from eBay and I couldn't use it....i tried calling them last few week but they said they don't have the codes.

I just tried 30mins back and they gave me the unlock code.....they just asked me imei of my phone that's all.

Now I am using it in my network :D :D

I am from India now the phone works fine with my network.

Cheers
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
I've talked to several AT&T customers in Seattle this morning, you have received an unlock code for their Lumia 900, today. Not yesterday or Friday....today.
[Nokia Lumia 900] neptunex3:
@ alodar1

i got it today....just hour back.

try u will get it

cheers
[Nokia Lumia 900] einstien:
I can confirm it, I just called the international customer service and they provided me the unlock code instantly 5 mins ago and I used my foreign sim card and my Lumia 900 is unlocked now !
[Nokia Lumia 900] aggelosss5:
I just called att and get the unlock code in 5 minutes its official !!!!!! :)))))
[Nokia Lumia 900] vbcsap:
Got the code, just called CS.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Satyrös:
How can i call?. Im not from USA, can you help me guys?
[Nokia Lumia 900] :
Can someone post the international costumer service number?
[Nokia Lumia 900] bladibxl:
Can someone help me please? to have an unlock code. This is my imei ......

I don't have an account with AT&T to be able to chat with support.

Thanks
[Nokia Lumia 900] aggelosss5:
The international phone is 1-916-843-4685 they will ask you for a 10 digit number just dont give any answer and it will transfer you to the next person :)
[Nokia Lumia 900] primus123:
I also need it. Can someone please help. Im Not an att customer.
[Nokia Lumia 900] :
I also need some help since I´m not an att costumer. this is my imei 359746041156923
[Nokia Lumia 900] Satyrös:
success!, I called and now i have unlocked my nokia lumia 900!!!:D
[Nokia Lumia 900] sushirom:
Edited: Disregard earlier jerk-isms.

Okay, seriously, people asking for help~. Not that I'm against helping anyone here, but people have posted how they got theirs and it's really quite simple. People have posted already that...

1)

Non ATT

consumers are getting codes. (Me for one.)

2) If you are not an ATT customer,

do not try to use the chat, call the phone numbers.

As in, the international customer service number (Which was just posted.); or, the regular support number. Which is : 1-(800)-331-0500 . Follow the prompts till you can get to a customer service rep.

Call them...request an unlock code. They will ask you for an ATT customer number. I didn't have to lie. I told them I wasn't a customer and he still helped me. Then they will ask you for your IMEI. Really only a few things can happen. Either they help you or they don't. And if they help you and their computer says your IMEI is marked ineligible. Well, I don't know what to tell you. Having other's try your IMEI may not work if it's marked in their system. But at that point you may then try and ask for help doing it.

In short, don't ask people to do it for you if you didn't take the time to attempt any of the methods people have said worked. And seriously...stop posting your IMEI's openly. I don't know for sure, but I've heard rumor that people can do some shifty things with other's IMEI's.
[Nokia Lumia 900] karel_e71:
Not possible

OK guys... Here is my story. I am currently an exchange student in the states. I bought one L900 two weeks ago on ebay for 135. It was brand new with no box etc. Looked like replacement phone with big green A sticker on it. I am currently using ATTs 25 usd prepaid with the Lumia.

After dialing different ATT numbers, I made my way through "Report Lost Phone" line. After submitting my IMEI to rep for more than 30 minutes he told me that my Lumia will be eligible for unlock in December for sure and that there is NO WAY how to get it unlocked earlier.

In the meantime I submitted request to unlockcellphones.com or how it is called. I have been waiting more 14 days now, still 7 to go. So I ll see how it goes.

That is the end of my story.
[Nokia Lumia 900] valuxin:
Need help. I know, that exist the way to unlock Lumia 900 for non-customer. But problem is in my English. I could call to ICS, if I had enough english for this. I very want my Lumia unlocked. It would be great, if someone decide to help me with this little issue. Thnx.
[Nokia Lumia 900] primus123:
I did try. Went through the prompts. And got a Rep, she told me that there is no way to unlock a Device for anyone outside an ATT customer. I'm not asking for help because I'm lazy or just don't want to. I did try. After the disrespect that I got from the employee. I would never ever want to be an ATT customer.
[Nokia Lumia 900] JaiCameron:
Oh so happy not only did I get my code. Cellunlocker.net is refunding me my money for the code I already ordered last week.

Today is a good day.

*edit*

And on top of that I'm getting 3G speeds in my area on a $45 monthly unlimited everything plan with no throttle on T-mobile's network.

The Gods are good.
[Nokia Lumia 900] hakan_k:
Same here! Got the codes for my two phones without any problem even though I am not an AT&T customer. Also got refunded from cellunlocker.:good:
[Nokia Lumia 900] simpl3lang:
got mine just 30mins ago. damn procedure, so many steps to take. cant wait to try it. right now i dont have a non at&t micro simcard yet. gonna buy one later here in the philippines.

its required to have a non at&t micro simcard to do the unlock right?

edit: alright so when i called at&t and got the unlock code. they also provided me with a unlocking procedure. some BS like ...tune phone on, press #*** display P **** display W ** display + enter unlock code ** press 1 then enter. ....but really all u need is the unlock code and place non at&t sim inside the phone then it should tell u that it is lock then will prompt u to enter pin. type in the unlock code and enter. viola!
[Nokia Lumia 900] 21stNow:
I got my unlock code, as well. I am an AT&T customer.
[Nokia Lumia 900] ggg:
finally it unlocked.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnGrY DuDe:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daft*mau5:
the singing in to unlock procedure doesn't require any kind of data connection as it compares the credentials entered to the google account already registered in the device without needing a data connection
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnGrY DuDe:
We tried it many times .Please someone help us.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darth_mickrig:
I'm hesitant right now, cause I might just assume that someone might have stolen a phone and now asks for how to unlock it. But anyways, there was just a piece of information on cracking pattern-lock on xda. Google might help you find it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnGrY DuDe:
no no no please.I mentioned of my past threats ,I have a shop .every day difference case will come to my shop to fix it for them.You can see my other threats.they are for difference devices.

Help please.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcellocord:
Do you have CWM Recovery or root at least? Android version, etc..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnGrY DuDe:
No i don't ,But i got another idea .If i update it via odin will the information in note will be removed? I mean all data saved or part of it will be wiped?

I can reset factory it.But his owner said he saved Sth in notes if he lost it he will lose a lot of money.

Thanks for help i used youtube,But still no solution.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] himanshu_1502:
flash the stock rom again and it will be done

also u will have all data and apps
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohdbrzn:
Supportss....

You can recover the password if really know it....

isnt that bad to use the other people property....

last option would be flash custom kernel...

wipe and recover....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnGrY DuDe:
If i use stock rom and use odin to flash it ,Do all the data will be saved?

For other person who talk about spy.

i said to you guys.I have a shop i fix it to people it's not mine.I make money when i fix it to them.I have a small shop in Iraq.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Makrilli:
If the phone has usb-debugging on. You can use adb to delete the pattern. How to do it was on news (of xda) a while ago. You should be able to find to find it from there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shitman66:
if you flash stock rom without wipe data factory reset , your data'll save and the pattern lock is still the same.

if you wipe it, you will lose your data(but files in storage still the same if doesn't format) at all.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnGrY DuDe:
thank you if you let me know the link i will be greatful .my Enlish is not good.
[HTC One S] mckayc:
I have been living in China and have been having a difficult time finding a decent phone here. Seems that most of the phones end up being clones. A while ago I bought a phone off taobao.com for 1000 RMB (about $150 US).

Anyhow; the phone looks really slick and the hardware seems to be quite nice, but it is obviously a clone. The phone works quite well except for the fact that the Google Play Store does not work at all (I have tried manually adding the most recent Google Play Store apk and that seems to make no difference).

What I am hoping for is that someone can point me in the right direction to where I can go to download a ROM for this phone, or to modify the existing stock ROM.

I ran AnTuTu Benchmark v2.4 and these are the specs it gave me:

Phone Model: HTC ONE S

Brand: HTC

CPU hardware: Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8660

CPU model: ARMv7 Processor rev2 (v7l)

Screen resolution: 540x960

Android version: 4.2.1

Build number: Dual CORE 1.5GHz HTC ONE S ROM 4G+RAM 1GB_FOR AT&T

Linux version 3.0.13

I originally tried a ROM for the HTC ONE S, but it didn't work.

It has ClockworkMod Bootloader on it but it is a weird Chinese version. I tried to put an English version of CWM on but that did not seem to work either.

I chatted (in Chinese that was not very good) with the technical support of the place that sold me the phone to get the stock ROM.

Sum up:

Where do I go to find a ROM for this phone? or what other info about the phone do I need to know to know which rom I can download?

If I can't find a rom to download, is there any way I can hack the existing stock rom to make the Google Play store work?

EDIT: Just downloaded the Phone Tester App and here are some more stats about the phone:

Device

Brand: HTC

Manufacturer: SAMI

Model: HTC ONE S

Product: HTC

CPU: ARMv7 Processor rev 10 (v71)

RAM: 473MB

OS

Version: IML74K

Release 4.2.1

Kernel: 3.0.13

SDK: 15

Firmware: eng.andrew.134276301
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Lets see a pic? Amazing that they would "clone" the phone yet build with the same specs. In my employer's experience, the "clones" of our products are often built by the same people that build them for us, i.e. our products go out the front door, while the extras go out the back...

EDIT, a little googling shows the MSM8660 is the "S3" variant...odd that it also reports 1.5Ghz which is usually an indicator of the S4, but try heading over the the dev section and see what's listed under [S3]...there isn't much, but some work is being done with a Sensation dev to bring Viper ROM to the S3.

The Android 4.2.1 report is also odd as even the latest JellyBean based CM10 is only at 4.1.1. China is a freaky place for understanding technology.

As I understand it, the Google Play store is only supposed to work on phones that conform to a certain standard, i.e. Android is open source, but the Google Apps have restrictions. Have you tried flashing an entire Gapps package from goo.im...maybe you're also missing some google account stuff that comes along with the Gapps?

You should also remove the IMEI from your post. It's not relevant and can be used by bad people for bad things.
[HTC One S] mckayc:
Thanks for the reply. I took some photos just now and attached them... hopefully they help solve the riddle to what this phone actually is.

One sketchy aspect of this phone is how much storage space it has. It looks like it has 4GB or memory; 1GB is partitioned to use for installing apps which leaves 3GB that has been partitioned as the SDCARD. When I put an actual sdcard in, it shows that I have two sdcards.

I will try that. Good suggestion. I will let you know if I have any luck there.

Yeah... I think the actual version is 4.0. Not sure how they got the 4.2 unless that have some sort of secret society going on (which they probably do... just not with Google). Notable things that don't work: The Play Store, Voice commands, Face unlock (renders the phone useless when you do this... had to do a factory reset), and CWM Backup... which reminds me... I should take some pictures of CWM.

I have tried flashing Gapps, but it really didn't change anything. Still could not use the Play Store. The only difference I noticed when adding Gapps is that when I would hold the power button, it only showed the options for Power Off or Reboot. Before I added Gapps it also had the option for Airplane mode. I tried modding the ROM a bit but every time I added or left out APKs it made it so that the ROM would not flash (my understanding of modding ROMs is next to nothing).

Thanks for the heads up. Thought about that as I put it on... Not really sure what the IMEI is, but I no longer have it listed.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Crazy! I wonder if it's actually a Sensation or similar? The little things like the misaligned beatsaudio logo are funny. Looks to me like it's not running Sense, but likely a CM variant (the status icons look right) with some sort of clock app to make it look like Sense (the AOSP Gallery, etc also give it away). BTW, they just added the "dual core" stuff to the build line, so it doesn't mean anything at all...I think the S3 is an overclocked single core?

Don't know much about it, but I've heard of an app called "Market Enabler" that some people need to use in other countries...could just let them download US apps though.
[HTC One S] mckayc:
That is a good suggestion. I bought a tablet here, and that actually solved a problem for that tablet. Actually; my girlfriend has a tablet and another HTC fake clone. On those, the play stores worked, but didn't show all the apps. The Market Enabler (I think I actually use the Market Unlocker, but have tried both) solves that problem.

The problem with the Play Store on my phone is that it just will not load at all.

I have also tried VPNs thinking that might help solve something, but no VPN will connect on my phone. Seems a bit suspicious because I have an older HTC phone that I brought from America and using all the same VPNs work just fine on that phone.
[HTC One S] mckayc:
Here are some more pictures. It shows the ROM I am flashing from the "CWM-Based Recovery."

One other thing I should note. I went to an actual HTC store here to compare this phone with a real HTC One S, and this one looks very close, but is a bit thicker.
[HTC One S] PcFish:
I wish we could swap out our battery lol.
[HTC One S] mckayc:
The real HTC One S does not let you swap out the battery? I guess that is what having a thin phone does for you. I think we can all thank apple for that one.
[HTC One S] PcFish:
Yeah, on the real one, only a little part comes off the top of the back, maybe 1/3 of the back, to reveal the microsim and no SD slot.
[HTC One S] tritran18518:
Why don't you buy phones from Meizu or Xiaomi? i guess they are a little bit more expensive but at least you have a very good support from devs community. Buy a clone phone for $150 is kind expensive to me. :good:
[HTC One S] mckayc:
In retrospect I am sure I would have done quite a few things differently. Didn't know about those other websites, so thanks for putting them up.

Got an new app to help me know some of the hardware on my phone:

CPU Type: Mediatek MT6575 x 1 1 Ghz

Phone Type: JiaYu G2 / Generic MT6575 board / AussiePAD / H928

RAM memory module: 512 Mb DDR (Usable: 473)

GPU Type: PowerVR SGX 531 (single core GPU)
[HTC One S] gordonzhao:
You probably can't connect because your time settings are in correct. Go to date and time. Set it to auto.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy SIII
[HTC One S] mckayc:
Just checked. Date and time is fine. Already set to auto. Play store still not working.
[HTC One S] ECEXCURSION:
My sister bought a clone of an iPhone and the store never worked. This was because it was nothing more than a phone, some preinstalled games and a dialer. I wouldn't be surprised to find that your phone doesnt even run android, but instead something that looks like android.
[HTC One S] mckayc:
I can upload and install apk files just fine, so I think it really is Android. There are some Chinese replacement markets that I can use like the Play Store, but I don't really like any of them (nor do I trust any of them).
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
Interesting photos..

The flash is on the other side of the camera,

The little speaker (or mic?) next to the camera isn't there on the Ville,

The HTC logo is an outy instead of an inny.

The top cover is way larger

Android 4.2.1 ? Really??!

^^^ Do you happen to be S-Off?
