Just wanting to let you know that there is more than likely a Gingerbread (Android 2.3.3) firmware update for your phone.
If interested then there is more information in this thread:

thx Guys ,,
i tried SGS unlock from market but it shows unlock code as : null !!!
also i tried manually search and edit nv_data.bin but i ddnt find it and find bml3.bak
(as other methods says) also tried to search it for SSNV but no success!!
whats is the guranteed methid even if it possible to get back to 2.1 !!
please help me
note: (phone doesnt ask for code when i insert another SIM !!)
Buy the SGS Unlocker from market author Degantboy or something like that.. the paid version 100% works on my phone.... it use to show me unlock code on 2.1 but not 2.2+ but still unlocks my phone.
Run the unlock procedure, reboot phone, shut phone off, place in new sim card, power up phone, if the phone isn't unlocked re-run app with new SIM card and reboot, voila should fix your problem.
Your phone needs to be rooted. and the free versions don't work for me.
you can always just buy the unlock code to unlock the sim restriction.
http://unlockcellphonecode.com/code-for-unlocking-samsung-cell-phone
worked for me.
While we're on this topic, I used one of the free apps back when I had 2.1 to get the unlock code.
I've never used it, but I have the code saved. Now that I have updated to 2.2 and then 2.3, would the code still work?
Hmm another factor is that I must have done that before I had the phone repaired (as the repaired one came back with 2.2). I wonder if whatever board they replaced will have a different unlock code? I guess it might be based on the IMEI? Not sure if that changed or not...
Nv data hex edit. Change a 1 to 0, and permanent unlock. search for instructions, they are on this forum and search really isn't that hard to use.

Guys, once the Bell SGS is unlocked, which networks can it run on? I'm specifically interested in Wind. Can it run on AWS/1700?
Sorry for the slight hi-jack but I can't find accurate info anywhere.

You must get confused by the T-mobile Vibrant when searching for information. The Bell SGS does not have band 1700, as such, it will not work on Wind. The T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant includes 1700 but does not have band 850/1900.
I used superoneclick to root then purchased SGS Unlock Pro. When I upgraded to GB via Kies, the unlock remained. I had used the app that got the unlock code but when I re-locked my device, the code stopped working.
found that the free version of SGS Unlocker
(Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool DaGentooBoy)
and Galaxy S Unlock (by Helroz) don't unlock the i9000m running android 2.3.3
(superoneclick was used for rooting)
sorry couldn't post links

I have used Galaxy S Unlock by Helroz, however in order for it to work, you may have to install/upgrade busybox.
I found the easiest way to do this was to superoneclick, then install titanium backup and make sure it has root access. Then upgrade busybox from within. Then you can use the Galaxy S Unlock to unlock.
i did this on my newer phone, and also on my family member's Galaxy S2 from Bell.
altering nv_data.bin might end in total imei lose if you corrupt it
and please do not pay or purchase full apps to unlock your device !!!!

I also have a Canadian Bell GS2 with CM9, root, busybox... I'm trying to put a Rogers sim card in it.
I have tried both the Galaxy S Unlock as well as the Galaxy unlock app from Herloz unsuccessfully...
I have tried to run the unlock code generator by feeding it the nv_data.bin, but my GPU is not supported, and I'm not exactly keen on messing up my EFS files.
I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for me?
Perhaps I could have you guys run the tool with the attached nv_data.bin?
Much appreciated.
Hey guys,
Looking for some advice....got my S4 on Orange UK (was assured it was unlocked but alas it is not) requested an unlock code...didn't work. Requested software to unlock through cable said it was successful and it also produced the same code as I was sent initially but still locked and asking for a code?
Anyone came across this before? Is there a way round it? Do I perhaps have a faulty handset with corrupt software?
It is stock and literally just turned on to unlock it so no installs etc
Thanks,
Kelly
I wouldn't know how this work with the codes provided by carrier, but apperantly you can sim unlock your S4 phone using this procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014982, that's according to the OP post from rooting tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255190. Haven't tried it myself.

I own a galaxy s6 edge+ a contract from at&t, asked them for the unlocking code, they said they can't help and asking for the complete bill, however I'd need your help on how to unlock it for free, please help me, thank you.
Samsung galaxy S6 edge unlock
Well I had the same problem and tried to unlock for free which is not possible and if you manage to unlock somehow for free it may lock your device permanently any time, I heard this from the professionals. Here is a site I unlocked my phone within 6 hours easily you can try if you want to... guaranteedunlock.com

Why do you expect to have them unlocked for free??? If that is the network provider policy to lock their phones because they are subsidised so be it. You van unlock the phone for 30 Eur everywhere so I guess that's the only option.

Hello,
why is it not possible to way to sim unlock the Samsung S5 G900f ?
I readed many threads and i found out that there is no option exept paying for my phone AGAIN.
I am verry furious about it and i just wanted to ask is there no developer or somebody who knows android from the bottom to the top who could solve that problem ?
If i would be a developer i would work on that problem till it is solve but until i know evreything about android we probably would have Galaxy S25 ...
Hope for getting an answere asap

Hey,
Have you tried an unlock code provider? It's way cheaper than paying for your phone again, like you said.

Thats what i meant by paying again for my device.
If you unlocked it once, it should still be unlocked, flashing ROMs shouldn't make any difference to the SIM unlock status
hey i got my note 4 (N910P) from Texas and brought it to my home country India so i just read the message but i wanted to confirm that if i flash my sprint note 4 (N910P) with a different country rom or any other rom then will it be causing any problem ? i have unlocked it but i am now facing the issues with the carrier featured applications so it is unlocked and ya of course i will keep the model no. in mind for finding the rom then it will be good to go right if i flash it with the same model no. the country doesn't matter ? also tell me how can i become sure of that it is unlocked
TIA dude
You should probably ask this in the Note 4 forum of XDA...
And no, the country doesn't usually matter as long as you are using a ROM that wasn't edited by a carrier (a lot of ROMs on sammobile, for example).

Well, one simple way is get another active SIM card, insert it and try to call someone. If it works, it's unlocked. If there's an error, it's still carrier-locked. Other option is installing GalaxSim Unlock, and open it - if it offers to unlock your phone, it's still locked, but if it says anything like "lock is not present" or "SIM Lock Status: undefined", it's unlocked.
