Need Help - Samsung A137 unlock for AT&T GoPhone! - GSM-Forum

michiganquality · 11-30-2008, 14:41

I purchased a Samsung A137 GoPhone for AT&T from Radio Shack on November 28th. I have tried the unlocking codes from this site to no avail. I have successfully used the same codes to unlock a Samsung A117 and T429 so I know how to use them. I suspect that this new A137 phone has different software or a different code is needed to unlock it. Please help if you know a solution. Thanks!

Friend! If you want to assume the risk! has a solution here
But I inform since it can damage IMEI or Network.
It was tested in many models and it worked well
But the risk is yours.
1. First do a CUSTOM reset: *2767*2878#
2. Take a wrong network SIM and insert a half of it, so when you turn on the phone it don't detect the SIM. Very important so it won't ask for network password and shows "Insert SIM" message.
3. Now take out the battery a little so you can insert fully the SIM without turnig off the phone, at this stage the phone is still asking to "Insert SIM" with the WRONG SIM inside.
4. Make a FULL reset: *2767*3855#
5. The phone should reboot working with "wrong" sim inside.
6. Change the NCK password to 8 zeros: *7465625*638*00000000*00000000#
7. Disable network lock: #7465625*638*00000000#
