[Q] UNLOCKING SAMSUNG galaxy S - Vibrant General

I have a Samsung Vibrant and its asking for a sim network unlock pin, how do I unlock it?
Thanks

There are so many unlock threads in this forum, search for one.
There is a sgs unlock app which works for some people and better with root. There is also a windows based java tool.

know of any windows based tools that I can download?

I can't get the link right now but look for a thread that involves editing your nv_ files. It's easy and worked for me.
You can also call tmob and ask for an unlock code.

galaxy s unlock is based off of the original procedure by hellroz. Keep those EFS backups safe!

unlock code....

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.

Since your in the vibrant section, I'm going to assume your on t mobile. tmo will give you the codes for free. Also there is an app in the market for sgs unlocking, also free. There are also numerous threads here an how to do it manually, but I'm going to assume that you can't find them because if you had googled how to unlock sgs vibrant you would already know all that I said above.
Beware of angry gingerbread man
I made some research and its call sgs unlocker, but it doesnt do anything, I will keep looking on the forum for more answers, but if you could help me a bit more will be fine , by the way thx for the fast response
Call or chat T-Mobile support and tell them you are traveling out of the country and want an unlock code. They will e-mail it to you.

Have you tried the Galaxy_S unlock by helroz on the market? Works great for me but remember to backup your EFS so you don't lose your IEME number.
The other one is Samsung Unlock Tool and it doesn't work for me.

[TOOL] galaxy s unlock

If Chainfires kernel didn't work for you then I'm afraid you must have been doing it wrong my friend.

Chainfires CF kernel has nothing to do with unlocking the S2 but rather rooting it. His SGS2 SIM unlock code finder app does however but for me, as with the OP, it didn't work. He acknowledges that it doesn't work with all S2s. I used the same app and it unlocked my S2 in a matter of seconds, great app.
My bad, I stand corrected thanks
The app modifies the efs rather than finding the unlock code, both work, the modification will also work in cases where the code finder can't find it.

Voodoo Unlock APP -- Do Not Use

Do Not Use The Voodoo Unlock APP At All. The APP is not compatible with Jelly Bean.

You need busybox installed to make it work. Get it from the Play Store.

I have used the Voodoo Unlock APP and it said it had unlocked my handset.
After flashing SuperNexus, CM9 and finally HyperGalaxy -- My phone is still locked and requests an unlock code to be inserted.
I downloaded the app again and it says:
SIM Lock: read error
Also, the default network operator apps still install - the Hutchinson 3G APP AND BBC iPlayer etc..
Can anyone help me unlock the phone permanently? Btw, why do none of the MMI codes do not for example, *#06# or *#1234# on custom roms?

Hi
Before somebody has a go at you!
If you search the forum you will see the voodoo app doesn't work on later firmwares.
If you go to the themes and apps section of this forum on the first pages you will see a thread for a unlock app that works on all firmwares.

Hello Every One. Im new at XDA and own S3. I was looking to have my S3 unlocked and landed here via google. read the post but still unsure about how to install this unlock app. i have already rooted my JB 4.1.1 and installed busybox. Downloaded the file at first page of this post.
1. Can some one please guide me about how to install these files. its not .apk so should i install them via CWM boot.
2. how can i preserve my efs files.
a step by step guide will be appriciated.
Thanks

What about "do not use" you don't understand? Use GalaxSim Unlock from app store.

You failed to read the faqs and guides .
You must pay the vendor to unlock your 4.3
Just follow the old tutorial foe manually unlocking with a hex editor, then instead of getting the md5 from the log, do (cat nv_data.bin; echo -n Samsung_Android_RIL) | md5sum
Or unlock with Voodoo, then fix up the md5 with this command.

All bow to the thread ressurector! )
I upgraded to a S5 and want to give my girlfriend my old S3. Problem is it's locked into Vodafone, and she already cut her sim and cannot use her old phone(will get an adapter if I can't solve it today). I would like to unlock the i9300 today, and free if possible. I've searched all over but cannot find even a manual hack like .NetRolller 3D said above. I did find a ton of "100% successful" apps that hide their links behind surveys and crap like that, and I'm not falling into it.
So... how do I unlock her phone at home?
P.S. It currently has RessurectionRemix 6.0 on it, but I can downgrade to stock 4.x.x if needed.
Thanks in advance!
Please re upload the Unlock App
Link is dead. Please re upload the Unlock App for i9300.

[Q] Unlocking 4.5.141

Yes I'm a noob and no I don't want you to hate me :laugh: I've been searching but can't quit find what I want. Can someone point out a link the safest way to unlock my boot loader on 141. I've seen threads but they really don't say for 100% they work on 141.
Thanks!
Do you have the at&t version? If so there is a video somewhere around here that i used where you can see a tutorial of an asian guy.
It says it is for the previous fw version but it also works for the .141 and thats how i unlocked mine
