I bought my Atrix 4g from at&t with a contract, paid for a code from unlock2talk.com. They gave me three codes for my phone, only one of wich said it was sucessful. and It ended up not working after all, still can't use any other sim and the phone is still locked. and I keep getting the fastboot not implemented error, (saw in another thread, looking into it there) after alot of research, I found that at&t made a deal with chinese manufacturer for thousands of "grey market" phones. these phones are whats causing the issue I think. I am thinking about sending this one back and paying the extra cost to get it direct from Motorola.

If you're going to make those kind of accusations, you should cite your sources.

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 [email protected] 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

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.

ok, after reading it all,
I am going to order a Optimum L7 code on sim-unlock.net which will cost me 6 euros, at least I will know if it is for real?

I will let you guys know.

Only thing i am curious about is they havent asked anything about phone but only IMEI.
Paying by paypal, which seems ligit.

---------------------------------
After paying them, I got this message

Hello
The order number 193*** is being realized.

What does it mean that the order is being realized?
This means that IMEI of your phone was sent to implement and is already waiting for the code.
Exact status of your order can be checked at the link below

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.

I'm very disapointed with cellunlocker.net, they have attended a lot of people but my experience started very well but at the end it was completely awful.

if anyone knows of a site that will sell unlock codes online please comment. I live outside the US and want to buy this phone online but will need an unlock code.

I have already contacted some sites but they don't have an idea yet if/when they will get them

EDIT: supposedly swiftunlock.net and gsmliberty.net work, but no proof yet rather than words from users.

EDIT: pictures of atrix running under Bell operator unlocked

EDIT: most users report that cellunlock.net work, 40$ but with a 50% discount using the android50 code.

To find your IMEI, type *#06#
I had a very good experience with cellunlocker.net in the past with all my Telus devices (Samsung devices).

Recently I bought a code for my note 4 from them, got the code in 3 hours and punched it in, got Successful

And now I am unlocked

I used my note 4 in Hawaii on T-mobile and also I used my S3 Unlocked in South Korea so I saved a ton of money

Just sharing my experience.

One of my friend didn't listen to me and tried swiftunlocks but got burned (i got burned from them too),
Bad service.

Anyways. good luck in your unlocking!

EDIT:

I did not realize this, but there is a cellunlocker.net and a cellunlock.net
I used cellunlocker.net so I don't know what cellunlock.net is like

code from Cellunlock works perfectly for my Atrix... I tried the first one and it unlocks my Atrix!

I am using SmarTone-Vodafone in Hong Kong. ;)

BTW, any brothers know whether the signal logo always shows "H+" no matter you are using 3G?

Thanks,
I had the misfortune of using cellunlock.net actually and I got ripped by them. Bad site.

Surprisingly, (AND VERY CONFUSING), I ordered from cellunlocker.net (notice the ER) and I actually got my HTC unlocked from there

I dont know why one site works while another does not but I got two entirely different codes

So for me, cellunlocker.net iis legit and cellunlock.net is not.
