i cant seem to unlock my t - mobile phone. i gave 2 separate online site to help me unlock it through code. but they said they couldn't do it. so how do i go about unlocking my samsung vibrant. i will need a step by step explanation.
Galaxy_S Unlock Haven't tried mine on a different network but supposedly it's unlocked.
There is an app in the market ,SGS unlock pro the paid version it $5.00 work great.
I called tmobile and they happily gave me an unlock code for my vibrant. I guess it depends on whether you currently have service with them or not.

hi all,
I just bought an HTC Aria from at&t... is there any way where I can get the unlock code "free"... is just do not trust on those website where you have to pay an in a few minutes you are supose to get the code... if someone can actually help me with... it would be awesome!!!
wait 90 dsys and att is supposed to be able to give it to you according to their policies
Rats, I called them the same week I got the phone lol... told them I was moving to Edinburgh in a month--partly true, it's in half a year--and that I absolutely needed to switch carriers, could they please unlock my HTC Aria. They put in my IMEI in a system, then said "this is the type of phone that is completely locked with AT&T." Bah.
Ordered a key from htcimeiunlock.com, got it 3 hours later, worked fine with my old t-mobile SIM card.

You must either
(1) call AT&T and request the unlock code for your phone. This is free but they usually only do it when you have had the phone for a certain amount of time, and even then sometimes they will still refuse.
or
(2) pay a small amount on eBay or another site that sells unlock codes for the HTC Aria. This usually is quick and painless, but not free.
Being rooted doesn't help you with the SIM lock unfortunately.
thank you for your help, unfortunately i didn't use at&t, i'll go with option 2
Can't unlock for free?
Why is it that there is an app I used to get the unlock code for FREE on a Samsung Captivate, but, there isn't something like that for the Aria, let alone any other phone? I'd like to unlock my Aria and sell it on ebay because I have no further use for it now that I am with Sprint.
That's actually a mistake made by Samsung with the Captivate. They unintentionally placed the unlock code for each phone in the phone memory where anyone can access it if they know to look for it. HTC did not make the same mistake with the Aria, so no easy-to-obtain unlock codes for it.
Hi
Can a phone that is simlocked to Three (3) network be easily unlocked with the marketplace app? And can it then use any vodaphone, O2, Orange etc sim?
I ask as normally when phones are unlocked they can't be used on the 3 network???
Thanks
I have just bought my SGS2 unlocked with a Three contract. Not sure if they can be unlocked if they are simlocked though.

A Sim Unlocked phone will work on ANY network providing it has been unlocked via IMEI or Unlocked from the factory.A market app might do it but a sim unlock via IMEI is the only 100% fullproof unlock method.From what Ive read market unlock apps can relock again.I dont understand why an unlocked phone cant be used on 3 either.Just pay to have it unlocked via IMEI.If you payed .... how much for your phone??just paya couple a bucks more to be on the safe side.
There is an app for the s2, developed by one of the developers here at xda (can't remember which, sorry!), that unlocks the sim. It scans your phone and generates the same key the mobile phone company would use to unlock your phone, so it works every time. It's free too though it can take hours to find the key. Have a look on the Android market. Think it might be developed by codeworkx or pulsar, I forget.
Edit: it's made by chainfire. sorry chainfire!! It requires root access, do make sure you have that by running a rooted kernel.

Hi
I should of mentioned it was the Samsung Galaxy S2 I wanted to unlock! I had a look on android marketplace at the app and someone mentioned that they unlocked their 3 phone in 10 seconds with the app, so I went ahead and bought the phone off eBay. Is it easy to root the phone?
Unfortunatly the market app for unlocking didnt work on my GSII with Three.
Just said: cant find unlock code.
Handset is rooted.
Anyone knows different metod?

Thats scaring me now! Though it did say some of the newer SG2's might not work with the app, heres what it says :
"!!! IMPORTANT NOTE: On some newer SGS2 devices, it does not work at all. You can try "Galaxy_S Unlock" app from "Helroz", but beware, it's unlock method is much more dangerous !!!"
Oh and another person said that it said "code not found" but on reboot it was unlocked.

Hi guys,
I am a noob here, but i know a little! i have a SGH-I717 and i cannot unlock it, i know i can do it through cellunlocker and sites like that but i wana do it without paying any money!
I've rooted the device thanks to Da_G and installed superuser and busybox, tried the galaxy s unlock app but it doesnt work, it gives an error when trying to save in step 1, so i tried locating the efs folder myself and i did, but i cant find the file nv_data.bin, does that file get created when i insert an at&t sim? i dont have one and i am not in the country now!
please any help with this is appreciated, i am dying to use the device and i cant, my flash counter is at 15 now i think and still i cant reach anything!
thanks
Is all the aggravation really worth it? If I were you, I would just pay the 5-20 bucks, then enjoy the phone the way god intended it....functionally!!

Its so frustrating, and after doing all this and spending that much time i just cant give up now
So i guess no one has done it?
I have also tried to unlock it for free and nothing has worked so far. I guess the galaxy s unlocker app by helroz doesnt work since there is no NV_data.bin in the efs folder. I manually tried looking for it but no luck.
I've also paid cellunlock my $20 two days ago and no code yet. I'm kinda frustrated that can't use this phone.
If anyone knows where I can unlock this phone, even website, let me know please. Cheapest option of course.

What are you talking about? UNLOCK. NOT ROOT.
Sent from my phonablet AT&T Galaxy Note - please forgive if typos
This is how to unlock via AT&T
Guys if you are with AT&T then don't bother with any of those methods to unlock. It's quite easy actually. Just call AT&T and let them you know that you will be traveling and need to unlock the phone to use foreign sims. They will ask you for the phones IMEI number then provide you with an unlock code. You then power up your device with any foreign sim (any other than AT&T will work), it will ask you for code, you enter it, and done. Your device is now unlocked and free to use with any GSM chip. Have done it with our 4 phones 2 GS2 and 2 GS Notes.
I don't think your allowed to most external links to Ebay, pretty sure it's against the rules.
If you go to Ebay and search the seller name it should come up...
Not sure if it works for at&t, mine is Rogers, and Canadian carriers do not give out lock codes for free, no matter how long you have been with them.

Why can't all oems just do what Google (galaxy nexus) did with the bootloader? Just have a menu that says "Do u want to void warranty and unlock bootloader?". It wud make life easier.

At&t wont provide unlock codes for certain phone like: the Iphone or the Skyrocket. And the Galaxy note is probably on that list (cant unlock)

The bootloader is unlocked, this has nothing to do with the bootloader.
This is a carrier unlock...

I just tried calling tech support. They were more than willing to provide the unlock code...however, according to the tech support rep, their system cannot locate/generate the unlock code for the Note.
Did you run into this problem as well?
I really need help with an AT&T HTC One
The phone is brand new, with the factory AT&T ROM (1.26.502.12).
I bought a SIM unlock code from 3 sites (cellunlocker.net, 2 ebay vendors) but they all gave me the same code which does not work.
Is there any other way to unlock via software? I already did S-OFF with Revone.
I am willing to pay via Paypal anyone who could help me, as I need to use the phone outside the US.
Are you still in need of help, I recently struggled with unlocking my device
