Unlock MR5100

Post by noise_maker »

Is there a process to carrier unlock a mr5100? I have one that is carrier locked. I was able to repair the IMEI without issue but its still carrier locked. All I have found looking around is doing it via ATT (which didn't work for me - this was an ebay item) or via one of the paid unlock services.

that is what i ended up doing but i want to setup a few of these and want avoid the $30 a pop to unlock them is all. Im going to change to clone the IMEI on the next one and see if I can unlock it with the same code then set the IMEI to what want .

Hmm..that's strange. I had no trouble at all unlocking my MR1100 via AT&T's webpage. I don't see that it's relevant where you bought it, unless the IMEI is bad or it wasn't paid off on the contract or something like that. I've read stories on the Web of other people carrier unlocking an MR5100 via the original carrier.
