Is it possible to unlock a rooted and Froyo updated Vibrant?
It had never been unlocked before the update and the market app to get the unlock codes doesn't work...
I've talked to a guy who sells unlock codes and says once it's been upgraded he doesn't know of anyway to unlock it.
is it possible to still unlock it?
Thanks in advance!
I had luck with this one with a rooted froyo phone.
EDIT: Can't post links. It's possible though, I've done it.
anyone?? (nt)

I am a T-Mobile customer and I am using a Samsung Vibrant.
Before I contact T-Mobile customer service for an unlock code for the Vibrant I wanted to verify some stuff.
The Vibrant was on stock 2.1 then it was updated to stock 2.2 (KA6) via Kies Mini, at some point it was rooted and a voodoo injected stock kernel was flashed using Odin, after that I flashed back to stock JFD using Odin and updated to stock 2.2 (KA6) via kies mini, and now I am on stock 2.2, no root, no lagfix, nothing...
If I get the unlock code from T-Mobile and I manage to unlock the device, what would happen if I flash back to stock JFD for whatever reason or flash some custom ROM ?!
Would the unlock remain intact? If no would I be able to use the same unlock code to unlock it again?
Thank you.

The unlock should remain.
My unlock has remained through flashing several ROMs and using Odin to go back to stock.
Thanks guys. I will call t-mobile today and request the unlock code.

I would go for this method.
For some reason when I asked for the unlock code when I still had my nexus they refused to give it to me. Probably didn't know what in the bloody hell I was talking about.
hate that about customer service reps.
If you had the phone for more thn 3 months they will give you the code without any issues...
Just go into the Market and search for the SGS Unlock App. It gets your unlock code automatically for you. With the GSM Galaxy S devices the unlock codes were loaded onto the devices, and somebody created an app to exploit it so there ya go.

There are multiple threads right now about unlocking. You can do it yourself and there are several methods, just search.
To be honest I read several times that the market application only worked for those who used it on JFD, once upgraded to JI6 it would not work. Right now I am on KA6.
I am a T-Mobile customer and have been for a while and in the past I requested the unlock code for other phones at least 3-4 times and always got it within a day or two... so I see no reason why I would fiddle with any other method if I can get it from the source...
What are you waiting for then?
Yesterday I placed a call to T-Mobile and requested an unlock code. Today within 20 hrs. from the request I received an email with the unlock code.
I requested codes before for other phones and I gotta say this was the fastest response by far for me.
Yeah its an easy process to just get it from tmobile.. did it a couple times with no problems. Just used the bs "im going abroad blah blah blah" story

Type *#7465625# into the dialer. This will tell you if the network lock is on or off.
Just an FYI...you should get an unlock code now for your phone before ATT takes over....ATT sometimes is a pain in the a$$ just to get a code...
You know, T-Mobile would have to unlock the phone before we awitch to AT&T. So we'll all have an unlocked phone by the time they merge, IF they merge.

Isn't the unlock code in the phone itself?

Could be wrong, but I think they "fixed" this in one of the OTA updates?
No, it never got fixed. An app on the market called SGS unlock, that basically does the unlock code for you.
You can unlock your phone with this simple aplication called SGS Unlock
If you have Eclair use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=554631&stc=1&d=1301355001
If you have FroYo use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=554632&stc=1&d=1301355001
Good luck

Well if you know how to use odin then downgrade to stock 2.1 then unlock your phone and then your phone is unlocked then flash whatever rom you want.

Can I unlock the bootloader or install a new rom with this update? If yes where can I look for info?

Hello,
I am sorry to ask this again but I have an AT&T S4 that's currently stock and runing 4.4.2 and I was wondering if there is any way to unlock it for T-mobile? I tired following some of the posts on here but they seem to be old and outdated. Does anyone have any other suggestions?'
Thanks!

I haven't heard anything yet..did more digging and it seems like you have to downgrade but then it's not guaranteed that you can unlock it.. I bought an unlock code for $30..still waiting to get it so I'll let you know if it works lol

If you are an AT&T customer or a previous member you can unlock your AT&T phone by going here. It is FREE and i have done it with all my phones so far. They provide you with an unlock code and all you have to do is insert the new non-at&t sim and enter the unlock code.

Since you have the unlock code, it will be almost the same thing. All you do is insert the non-att sim card and it will ask you to enter the unlock code. Enter the code and now you have an unlocked phone.
I havent been able to unlock my phone phone i bought it off ebay and i cant seem to unlock it. i bought the unlock code from two different unlock servers and they both appeared with the same code but it doesnt work i was wondering if anyone has had this same problem and was able to fix it. i would apreciate the help thanks in advance.
You have to wait a while for the unlock to go through. I've never unlocked my phone but I've seen videos so I have some knowledge

Something happened with OS in your phone. Maybe it was rooted, or maybe some error in the system. Any how. Just flash your phone with stock rom. The original firmware that it had, and the code should work. Also try factory reset first. That may work as well.
Good luck.
Pm me i'll unlock it for u for free
