Hi there,

Just got my eXpo from ebay yesterday (brand new), it's locked to att, so asked a couple of ebay phone unlockers that told me they couldn't unlock it (refunded me the money)
The IMEI says not found (but is ok, so one of them told me they can summit it to the manufacturer to provide the unlock code)  Shocked

My question is simple, can I use a custom rom (dragonstorm 21319) to unlock it?
If not, please help me finding someone (paying of course $$$) who can unlock my new eXpo:
IMEI: 012085-00-008905-905

A new custome ROM will not unlock your phone. What i did to unlock mine to use overseas was call AT&T (Which is my carrier) and asked them for it. Since i bought the phone from Amazon and not AT&T directly they just gave it to me because i owned the phone outright.

I dont know what carrier you use but i would suggest giving them a call and see if they can help you.

This was also FREE.

Hi there,

Just call ATT but I don't live in USA, I live in Costa Rica, so they need to open (with someone stateside to receive the info) a case in order to unlock it, but I don't have any relative or friend there that can help me!
Don't know what's the problem with this IMEI, why anybody can't unlock it???
It says: NOT FOUND!
Also contacted cellunlocker.net but they couldn't even use the LG manufacturer code!
What I need is someone to contact ATT wireless support, provide IMEI and model!
But I can't  Angry
Any help or suggestion is welcome.

The problem of it not found may lie that since att pulled the phone from the lineup that means the the imei database they had is remove from their system got this from
A higher number of AT&T are not being found these days.

AT&T has changed their policy and thus some handsets are no longer available.

handsets that are exclusive to at&t have been removed from database.

Also, handsets that are less than months old might also not be in the database

However, any LG that are “not found” can be found via the LG USA method

This tells me they found a loop hole on not giving out subsidy codes after 90 days

Thanks for the heads-up, but I already contacted them, refunded the money but also offered a LG manufacturer IMEI unlock code, still waiting for the answer...
Believe me, I just received 10 refunds because code "NOT FOUND"...

Great news!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I received the unlock code from unlocktotalk.
If anyone needs a code I have more 3 (for free of course)
I payed $20 and received just one more refund...
Now I'm a happy eXpo owner, so I thank you all for your support and understanding.

Next step: buy a new eXpo (converting an current iphone owner)
