Unlock code

Does AT&T give out the sim unlock code for this phone? Or do you have to pay someone to unlock it?

You can ask them. But If you want you can pay the people on this site to send you a sim card and enter in a code and it is unlocked.

just call up att and tell them you are going out of the country and ask for an unlock code.

Ok. Thanks

Droid x forgot pin lock custom Rom

My friends Droid x is rooted and he set up a pass lock on it but he has since forgotten it. Without having a custom Rom I believe it's possible to sign in your gmail account in order to unlock the screen however there isn't an option to do so. Is there a way to bypass this or is the only other option to boot into recovery and start all over? Any help would be appreciated.

If its like most adb it root it flash a custom rom simple as rhat
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 that's shiny new rooted overclocked and scored a 2700 on quad so suck it up using XDA App

He is running the gummyjar rom already..

Restore a backup? Or adb into the phone and reflash the current custom ROM.

Agreed with droid user...there is a app that you can use from adb to install it and it will bypass the lockscreen once you reboot it

I'm sorry but what's adb? How would you do that? Link to a tutorial?

If you keep trying random pins, it'll eventually give you the option to sign in with your Google account if you get it wrong enough times

What method of root did you use? If you used the gfree method, then yes, it's SIMUNLOCKED. if not, the best way to unlock is to call tmobile and ask them for the unlock code.

Password Not Working After New ROM

Just installed ACS ICS v5 and $#@% thing won't accept the password I entered for lock screen. Is there any way to get around this short of re-flashing the ROM? Have tried over 50 times hoping I'd get some other option but I get nothing, just keeps asking me to re-enter the password when I know I am entering the right one. Anyone have any suggestions??

1. Not the rom
2. Wipe data

Not the rom. Operator error.

My rom would NOT change the user password. If you get it wrong enought you can sign in to Google and it will unlock

How can I unlock my Samsung Vibrant phone

Hi,
I have bought a Samsung Vibrant from T-mobile. And I have read this thread about loading pit, pda for Samsung phone. Is there a pit/pda for Samsung vibrant which let me use a non t-mobile sim?
http: / / forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
Thank you.

SGS Unlocker from the market should work.

Is there any option which is free?

Galaxy S Unlock in market is free but requires root-as they all do/will. There is also another thread in the Q&A about this very issue.

The easiest free way to do this is to call T-Mobile and ask for the SIM unlock code. If you have had it this long, they usually won't have an issue giving you the code.

You need to have Tmobile account to do that

I know GUN. Wasn't this covered already. We actaully had a successful post this morning about it.

I remember back in October we didn't need root.
Illegal stuff is good.

will this work with ICS??

thanks i appreciate it I'm going to try it right now!

I don't think the SGS unlocker really works. I tried to use it in the past when my phone was new, and i believe it didn't worked for me.
Let me know if it works for you.

Didn't work

I used a windows program that was uped here when the vibrant came out you had to be running 2.1. You just opened the program plugged in your phone and it would find the unlock code then you just had to insert a different sim card an type in the unlock code and your good to go well it worked for me. If you odin back to 2.1 and find the unlocking program on here im sure it will still work.

Did you run the Vibrant/Vibrant4G specific one? Worked fine for me when I had mine.

This is what you want.

Galaxy S Unlock by Helroz has worked for both of my Vibrants. Make sure to backup everything first.

ok so ihave unlocked at least 10 phones with this app thats called Galaxy_S Unlock by a developer called HELROZ
1.make sure your rooted before you try this usually superoneclick works fine
2.make sure you tell the program to install busybox with in the process it will ask you if you want to.
3.Once you do that then reboot the phone
4.download the app from the market it usually pops up when you search galaxy s unlock
5. open the app and follow the step beginning from 1-3
and BAM your unlocked
In personal experience this has worked for me every time

When you unlock with the program instead of the actual code, does Odin overwrite the nv_stats file, causing it to be locked again?

That is a good question. I just Odin'd last night coming off ICS to test another ROM and just checked mine and it still says it is unlocked.
