Gladroot unlocks root. That's like activating a hidden wireless access point. That is for data not voice.

There is no software on the phone that will unlock the phone automatically. You have to type like* ####* (or something) and then it runs an algorithm to compare (or use with) the imei. If it matches, it disables the sim check. But its not part of android so what you say cannot possibly be true. Throw a tmo sim in to see if it works.

Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G on the network with the most backhaul, whatever that is. This post might have errors as I hate touchscreen keyboards.

Wow, so ATT is being quite a pain about unlocking this.

I have been a customer for 10 years and had every phone unlocked, new, exclusive, did not matter.

I travel and use local pre-paid cards rather then the overkill att international plans. I had a regular cs try, she said the system is not returning a code. Then i had a manager/tech guy try it, he played with it for like 10 min, said the system will not allow it because i activated the phone less then 90 days ago. He said he'll put in a request to bypass that but nothing he can do from his end. Waiting for a call back.

It sounded like he is genuinely trying, and moto/att has put some wacky restriction on it. Jerks.

Quick and noob question about this matter, when I unlock the sim lock on the phone this is permanent? I mean, no software update will ever activate this block again

AT&T Atrix sim unlocked here
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_does:
yeah from what I know

permanent
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceo.mtcl:
It's permanent.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demens13:
There is no software unlock for this phone as far as i know. So the normal way of unlocking the phone is permanent.

In this case permanent is a good thing as this does not mess your phone up in any way nor does it void your warranty.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rred:
demens, AT&T's official story (or at least, the one the last upper-level rep gave me) is that AT&T USED TO unlock phones for any customer who'd had an account over 90 days. But that their current policy "for some time now" is that they will not unlock any "new, exclusive phone" until that phone has been sold for +1 year.

Doesn't matter if you've had 100 phones for 20 years, if the new phone has been on the market less than one year--they swear they won't unlock it.

If you can get any confirmation on any changes from that arrogant and hostile point of view, please do let us know.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demens13:
Arrogant and hostile indeed. I missed the callback from the rep yesterday so i still dont know. I can tell you that according to him what prevented them from giving me the code is 90 days, not a year. It did take quite a bit of convincing to get him to attempt to look for work arounds in the 1st place as the initial answer i got was close to what you are saying, phone is exclusive moto/att does not have the unlock code for it yet.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rred:
If your AT&T rep doesn't get sent out for re-education, but gets you a working code, PM me with his phone extension so I can ask him to work the same miracle again.<G>

If you guys don't resolve this through ATT, you can always try buying an unlock code online.

I have been epically screwed over with my locked Droid 2 Global, so I specifically bought an "already unlocked" Atrix. But I have also successfully unlocked a Moto Charm via code previously, so it might work for you.

I just unlocked my phone! It took a few days to get the code but swiftunlock.net got it. I guess its true, third time is a charm.

Now Im on MTN Afghanistan with my Atrix! I exchanged a few email messages with Swift and within a few days I had the code. Great customer service and a reasonable price. I would suggest swiftunlock.net to anyone who is having a problem getting a code like I was.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiberedimage:
Ummmm, yeah, uhhh I just unlocked my phone so I don't know who told you this. These phones can be unlocked. My problem was that the phone I had bought was still under the sellers contract. They switched to an iPhone and sold me their Atrix. ATT wouldn't give me a code because of this and Motorola wont give these out to just anyone. Even thought I told them I was here in Afghanistan working and really needed a good phone.

Anyways, if you don't believe me, check my previous post and swift will get you the code you need to use other carriers.

For what it's worth, I just got back from vacation in Italy. I wanted to bring my Atrix with me so I called AT&T but since the phone hadn't been on the market for 6 months yet they weren't giving out sim unlock codes, even when I told them I was traveling abroad. I used an ebay site (freedom mobile, if I remember right), sent them my IMEI and three days later I had my unlock code and it worked like a charm. You'll need a non AT&T sim and when you power on the phone it'll ask for the code because of the "foreign" sim (I used my cousins Verizon "world sim" and it did the trick, after that you can plug in any compatible sim you want.

Hope this helps!

Just got my unlock codes today from cellunlock. Their instructions said to boot the phone with a non-AT&T SIM installed, but this left me in a reboot loop for some reason (using a Tracfone SIM; maybe that's why?).

Anyway, I booted my phone with no SIM and then hot-swapped the Tracfone one while the phone was on. I didn't get the unlock prompt, so I triggered it manually by dialing #073887*. Cellunlock gave me two codes, and neither of them worked -_- Has anyone had this issue before? Do I absolutely need to boot the phone with another SIM already inserted?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_does:
you need to have a non ATT SIM inside before you power on

Lets test this for free unlock codes!

Hi guys,

my brazillian carrier (Claro) has an online tool for unlocking all the phones they sell, witch includes the Atrix. I have unlocked my friends phone trough this tool without issues.

If you can trust me enugh to send me your IMEI I can generate the unlock code so you can test it? Remember that you will have only 5 tries for this I think.

Have not tested this with phones locked by another carrier. Don't know if this will work. Just a tough, so maybe I can help a bunch of you for free.:D

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rred:
"thats because its past the date when ATT said it would be "exclusive" to them"

I don't think so. AT&T released the phone, what Feb 22nd? March 22nd? And thier policy was not to unlock until one full year after release on an exclusive phone.

So either AT&T has changed their formal stated policy or some reps are making accidents. Either one would be nice.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Putter:
I received my Atrix back in late February, and called them a few days later for the unlock code. I was told that it would not be available for six months, so called them back in late August, and was told then that it would be available after August 31. Called them again a few days after that, and was given the code.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceo.mtcl:
There policy is six months.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoso28:
Just got my unlock code this morning.. no prob at all. And the Atrix isn't even the phone listed on my account, so they're obviously giving them out freely. I thought I remembered reading something about a sim-unlock messing up the wifi or something but I couldn't find the thread where I saw it. So I'm hesitant to actually unlock it until I really need to. Anyone with issues unlocking?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Putter:
No wi-fi problems so far on mine. Seems to be working OK.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rred:
Then apparently they have formally changed their policy to 6 months from date of release.

And it typical AT&T fashion, instead of telling the customers about this...they'll continue to piss off customers who will spend money on commercial unlock services instead.

If LLBean or 3M started offering cell phone service I'd jump to them right away. At least SOME companies know what "customer service" and "valued lifelong customer" means. No one in the cellco business does, apparently.

Hello everybody,

I know, this is my first post, and but I buy a unlock code for my sisters atrix 4g and 1 more for my atrix 2, I bought from swiftunlocks, the first that I bought was the code the atrix 4g in ebay for 1 or 2 USD but the seller (unlock_fusion) does not found the code, he reccommend me swiftunlocks.com, browsing the swiftunlocks website I find the service "motorola NOT FOUND" (pice $15.5 usd) and I placed a order for that service, but before a I placed it I contact them via email swiftunlocks@gmail.com the man behind that email answer me very fast but he doesn't talk much just the "very basic" .... the code appears in his portal in almost 60 hours, they does not send you the code in a email, the code appears in his website .swiftunlocks dot com...

I am writing all this because I read all the scam assumptions after I placed the order on swiftunlocks.com... but I have to tell you the service is excellent for those who want to unlock his smartphones

I am from mexico, and know my sister can use her atrix 4g with telcel (mexican carrier)...

after I receive the code for the atrix 2 I ordered a second code for my atrix 2 in ebay, from the same seller (unlock_unlock) for only 2USD, 20 mins after I sent the payment I receive the code in my email!!! and know I am using my atrix 2 with iusacell (other mexican carrier)

When I check my paypal statements I saw the ebay seller (unlock_funsion) and swiftunlock are the same people, the paypal address is exactly the same...

the diference between the 2 USD service and the 15.5 USD service is:

$1 or 2 USD service looking for the code into the att database and the $15.5 service (NOT FOUND) looks into the Motorola database

I can show you a picture of the website of swiftunlock.com

I have a atrix 4g, unlocked, 4.2.1 which has still netlock code!

How do i get rid of that issue?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rred:
In my limited understanding, the phone is either locked or unlocked, there is only one "carrier subsidy lock" regardless of what it is being called. If anyone tried to unlock the code, and failed to do so in five attempts (wrong code or just hitting the wrong numbers) after those five attempts the phone "blows a fuse" and something internal changes, permanently locking the phone to the carrier.

Both AT&T and Motorola swear this is how it works. Five tries to unlock, and then something is permanently changed and nothing, no reset, no reprograming, norhing can ever unlock the phone again. You would think it is just code, code can always be changed, but they say no, this code is one-way, one-time, one shot and it is as permanent as a fuse blowing.

So if you bought a used phone, the previous owner may have blown this. If you bought an unlock code and it was incorrect, you may have blown it. The total of five tries is cumulative, for the entire life of the phone. If the PO got it wrong three times and you get it wrong twice more, a year later? It is still "blown" forever.

I can't swear this is true, only that AT&T and Motorola both swear it is. Not just the bottom level techs, but the executives as well. All of them.

A locked phone may not show an error, for instance, an AT&T phone using a T-Mobile SIM will show a "network error" if you try to use it. It will not say anything about the real problem, being locked to the original carrier.

Solution? Sell the phone, buy one that is unlocked. Sorry, but that's all there is to do if you've hit the "five" limit.

Awful experience with Cellunlocker.net

Be carefull with Cellunlocker.net, they didn't comply with the refund policies.

I bought two codes with them, OrderID::xx4024 and OrderID::xx2763 and at the end the codes didn't work.

They start to send me some instructions to make the codes work but with no success.

Sometimes it seems like the person who answered my emails didn't know anything about my orders. They get me tired sending me the same instructions time after time and asking me for some videos with a "REFUND INSTRUCTIONS" as email header.

Once I realized we were going to nowhere I asked them for my money back as its refund policy in their website, I received nothing. I didn't receive an email with the reason to don't refund me.
