On all of our devices, once you enter the unlock code (also called NCK) too many times incorrectly, there is no option to unlock the device that we can offer. It will remain locked to the original operator AT&T.

Hi, sorry for the late reply (my DSL was not working due to a cable problem). What about reinstalling the x10 program? Will it solve the hard-locked x10?
