[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingoftheafro:
Cricket doesn't get updates. They just get new phones. I need updates for apps that I have. Some of my apps stopped working and told me that they weren't compatible with my phone until I installed the MM update. Those apps I need. Plus if I had the money I would've gotten an unlocked device. I don't have tons of excess cash to toss on a 300-500 dollar phone. Don't assume everyone just has money. It's ignorant.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DallasCZ:
Never hear dof an app that stoped working because it requires newer version of OS.

If you dont have money and buy a locked phone, then dont cry here, that cant be unloced and just wait 6 months.

Or buy a cheaper unlocked phone.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingoftheafro:
Ok first off learn to read posts. I didn't start the thread I replied in it. If you read my posts you'd see I had no issue with the phone being locked and told them it'd be better to root the phone since it's free. They wanted unlock codes so they could update when MM came without having to worry about root stopping it. Out of nowhere you just come in saying I'm crying about something that doesn't exist. Since you apparently don't read you made an assumption on a post that doesn't exist, therefore making you an idiot. Also instead of asking about the apps, again, you go off saying crap like buy a new phone that's unlocked and cheap......seriously do you think before typing? I got my phone on sale for 129 locked and then unlocked 24 hours later. You won't find a good unlocked phone for the US at that price. Also since you obviously know more than those of us living here in the US you obviously know everyone's situation and even after I told you mine you assume I had 6 months to be without a phone. Please stop posting like an ahole and learn to read before posting. Thank you.

Dear Customer,

We are sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

Unfortunately we are unable to find results in the cricket database for this particular IMEI.

Please understand for all unlocking services, it is not 100% we will find a code for the IMEI.

We have refunded the order as we are unable to find the correct codes to unlock your device.

Well, I have tried mobileunlock4ever.com and cellunlocker.net to unlock my Cricket Idol 3 5.5". Both places failed to "find" the unlock code and refunded me instead.

Any other place I should try?

My understanding is the all the unlock vendors search from the same "database."

I've tried three different unlock vendors and no go on all 3. Anyone have luck recently ?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal250:
I have been with Cricket for many years, even before AT&T bought them. Anyhow I have received several unlocks from them. The official policy is after 6 months, but I have never waited that long. I guess it depends on the CSR you get. Only one time did I have to ask for a supervisor. All I do is explain to them that I have been a loyal customer for many years( I have 7 lines with them) anyhow they know I'm not going anywhere. Just be polite explain why you want unlocked, I have never been turned down.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reachforthesky:
Those who follow this thread would know that I have been trying to network unlock my 2 Cricket Idol 3 5.5" for the last 6 months or so. I have tried every vendor ( 4 - 5) suggested here in this thread with no no success. Then I gave up. This month I re-start the effect. I went to eBay and just picked any vendor selling unlock code for this phone. Again, no deal. Then on my third attempt, I tried one more vendor - mobunlockingmaster on Sep 25th. Two days later bingo. I GOT THE CODES THAT WORK. And it was just $2.69 each. I don't know why this vendor got the codes while others couldn't. May be , just may be, Cricket is finally "releasing" the codes to the third parties.

Those who are interested. Hurry and search for "Unlock Code OneTouch Idol 3 6045O Idol 4" at ebay and look for the vendor mobunlockingmaster . I have zero financial interest with this vendor.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onupirat:
What GSM bands does the 6045O support after unlocking? I use this site http://willmyphonework.net/ to check if the phone is compatible with my network and it is said there that is not. But i've read here that it supports bands 900/1800 witch is what i need, and now i'm confused...
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reachforthesky:
Network unlock does not alter the radio files. 6045O on stock rom supports band 12. After unlock, it should still support band 12.

In my area T-mobile band 4 is the strongest band so my phone does not use band 12. I ran LTE Discovery app on aw Band 12 was detected (or cycled through) before locking on band 4.

Hope that help.

2arkusc prd?

I got cricket to give me an unlock code and it didn't work. I tried with with worldgsmcodes.com and they ended up giving me the exact same code. I tried factory reset, disable wifi, disable bluetooth, no screen lock and it the code still fails. I am down to 3 tries left now.

Does it matter that the PRD is 2ARKUSC? Would it make the correct code different?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sangyup81:
In the end, it was Cricket themselves that came through for me. The actual unlock code was the exact same as what they were giving me except for the last digit being 5 instead of 0
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takrin:
Thanks, my code kept failing also, and all the venders kept giving me the same code, after reading this i tried throwing a 5 in at the end of mine which was also 0 and it worked. so if you get a unlock unsuccessful error, try changing the last digit to a 5 if it's a 0.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobomi:
I got the same unlock-code from three different unlockers. The code does not work. Yes, it ends in "0." I tried to replace "0" to "5". It does not work.

Does anyone else have any ideas?

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kal250:
Have you attempted to get unlock code via Cricket Customer Service, they are pretty easy to get a code from, for that matter AT&T themselves has provided me unlock codes for 3 of their branded phones and I'm not even an AT&T customer. Cricket on several occasions has given me an unlock code prior to 6 month wait policy. Just keep trying reps/supervisors until you get one, service reps are like anyone else, you always find one who knows all the tricks, just gotta get through the ones who just read the BS screen guides in front of them.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majormar:
DON'T use cellunlocker.net. It took them about 4 days to come up with a code that didn't work. After being forced to upload several videos of me trying the unlock code and proving that my phone wasn't rooted or running a custom ROM, they still refused to issue a refund claiming my phone was modified. It's been 17 days and they still can't come up with a working code. Avoid them like the plague!

Got the unlock code from Cricket customer service, turned phone off, put in my T-Mobile sim card and it asks for SIM network unlock PIN and it won't accept it, says unlock unsuccessful. I called Cricket back and they said that's the right code and they suggested calling Alcatel which of course is closed until tomorrow, so ridiculous, any ideas? I have 7 chances left.

Called Alcatel and they said they have nothing to do with locking/unlocking and to call Cricket again. Called Cricket and they opened a case with Tech Support, it'll be a few days before I hear back, so frustrating, this is for my neighbors that are an elderly couple and not tech savvy at all and they switched to MetroPCS and wanna keep the Alcatel.

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tag68:
If the ROM is official and unmodified it should be fine. AFAIK there is only a soak test version of 6.0 available. I'm not sure if it contains recovery, if yes if you flashed it and if the version has status unmodified. Maybe someone else who uses 6.0 knows.

You have to change the flag back using something like Bootunlocker to get it to show again. Or is that just the tamper flag?

Maybe the bootloader is still unlocked therfore it happens.

If you are currently rooted, which as of today is not possible on HD 8 & HD 10, you simply delete the com.amazon.firelauncher.apk in /system/priv-apps/com.amazon.firelauncher/, you will need to boot into fastboot and remount the system as rw if I am correct.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technope:
while you're method may work, it's far from optimal.

it's not possible to just rename another launcher and replace the FireOs launcher? i suppose that would be too easy.

if it were my tablet, i'd be more inclined to play around with it. unfortunately, my mom is content enough with it how it is, though i can see it being a beast and would **** around more if it were mine.

hopefully root comes soon. unfortunately, i can't help work towards it.

when all of that is said and done, i'll build a rom and kernel for it, np.

The only downside to the script is when you press the home button, there is a delay of 500ms or so, you see the firelauncher for that time.

It is not nohup or anything so it will stop working when you close adb shell (easy to do yourself, but I am preoccupied at the moment).

Why not root?

So I was actually able to ROOT my kindle fire hd 8 with the kingroot method.

After installing the apk.

Loaded it up let it try to find a root solution and it will not but you can try rooting with the other method and it WORKED for me. Never been so happy!

So after that I loaded adb shell in command prompt and typed "su" to see if I had root and it WORKED again, so I am even more happier!

Now after typing in "su" into command prompt I then typed in,

pm disable com.amazon.firelauncher﻿

and it was successful..

NOTE: you must have another launcher installed before you do this! I had GOLauncher.

The End <3

P.S. I had installed the necessary files from rootjunky's "Amazon Fire Tablet Tool" or also known as installing google play store method..
