Has anyone carrier unlocked a flipout with sucess??
One that was on ATT?

I tried UnlockatHome and they have replied so far that they cannot find a code based on my IMEI. They state they are contacting another code provider?

Contacted 'Solutions Point Limited' who make the Rebel II SIM card overlay. They have specific flash firmware for Motorolas running Android.
Their first response is that the Rebell II will not unlock a Flipout, but they have unlock codes based on IMEI.

I am wondering if a SIM unlock overlay will even fit in the SIM slot on this?

Any help or leads are appreciated!

Solutions Point Limited' who make the Rebel II SIM card overlay replied and said their card and firmware as it stands for Motorola, is a little unstable with 3G on the Flipout.
He said it would prob work OK for Voice/Wifi/2G. They may work on a solution for this phone in the future.

I might start with a Sim overlay from them and get their USB flasher for possible updates.

Motorola Flipout MB511
Locked on ATT.
Want to use on Tmobile.
Created a Motoblur account via wifi.

Tried two SIM unlock codes that did not work.

I have a Rebel II SIM in it now. Furthest along I got was with firmware 1.3 and mode set to 1.
This boots fine, shows no SIM lock, but signal bars are crossed out.
Go into settings and have it scan networks. It finds ATT and T-mobile.
When I try to connect it tries for a bit, then says that network strength is weak and asks to search again.

I have manually entered an APN, but after entering it, it does not show up in the APN lists, which remains blank??

Do I need to have a data plan for a month to get it to register?

Other ideas?
