The unlock site says 7-14 days. Hopefully not that long though.
Well that sucks

Can you point me to any trusted sim unlock code web site? Google returns so many results so I don´t know which one to trust. May I count on your past experience about this matter? I´m from Europe.
Thanks

thephoneunlockers.com you get the code in about 1 hour most times less like 16 minutes

The website looks good and secure, but it doesn´t have GalaxyS listed as a unlockable phone.
Also doesn´t say nothing about the price ...
There are many very expensive and some cheaper ... but this cheaper websites, can be trusted?

Network unlock the phone ... isn´t that a must if you want to flash your phone with custom firmware?

Yeah I know but how do you do that? Type the code somewhere?
When you buy the code they will fetch the instructions, but usually you use a different network sim card and the phone will ask for the unlock code.

Oh right. Great, Thanks
So I'm on T-Mobile and everytime I call, they give me a total BS code and it doesn't unlock ANYTHING =/
Can someone give it a try for me? I can provide you with the EMEI.
Please and thanks!
Sorry to tell you this, tmo will not give out the code unless the phone have been used on the account for 90 days for the person that is calling in.

I saw many people doing it before, as long as they have a Vibrant that's 90 days or older, T-Mobile will give them the code.
And have we tried the SGS_unlock program from the market yet ?
Why yes, it does work, thank you for asking.
Actually, it doesn't work for me. I also tried the PC program. All failed.
I actually even called T-Mobile as stated in my first post, but they gave me a bunch of BS codes.
Last option.
There is two unlock programs from the market. Only the Galaxy S unlock by Helroz worked for me and not the SGS unlock.
Dattack what ROM are you running?
I am using the Bionix v1.2 right now. I have using a telcel sim when I go to baja mexico and the unlocking by Helroz has always worked for me. I think there is an xda thread on the unlocking started by helroz. good luck.

Not sure how they did it back then, but when I called in to unlock a phone that I have not used, they wouldn't give me the unlock code because I didn't use it with my number for 90 days. Maybe a nice rep might hook it up, but from my experience they will give you the same bs with their 90 day policy.

Try troubleshooting the unlock methods in their respective threads. The unlock java program worked for me. There are several ways to do it, in all likelihood one should work.
Avoid user error.
maybe you did something wrong on your phone that's why the unlock code won't work for you. Yes that happened to me but the method posted here worked for me.

Haha, it's ok. I got it fixed. I used the one by Heroz and it worked sooo finne
Go to one of the stores and call them for the unlock code from there. Then, if it doesn't work you can get the store manager to intervene or better yet get them to exchange the phone.

lol the store manger can't do anything about a subsidy unlock. Beyond that, OP seems to be ignorant about unlocking the phone, instead blaming faulty codes on someone else.
When an official subsidy is filed, it goes to an unlock team who contacts the manufacturer, and is specific to the IMEI of the device. Chances are, if the OPs code didn't work, they weren't following instructions on entering it in, or never provided accurate info for the unlock.

Wow I like how you just called me ignorant.
I've provided T-Mo the same IMEI 3 times, yes, I quadruple checked it each time. Always got the same unlock code back. How is that MY fault?
Gee.
But thanks everyone for helping with the Heroz unlock
I was thinking, what are the chances a Samsung or ATT employee would leak the necessary files to unlock the bootloader. Surely they have the know-how/files somewhere, and know that hundreds of people want the bootloader to be unlocked. Truly, they would leave most phones alone since I'm sure most of us XDA members barely make up a fraction of the total Android phones..
It shouldn't be that hard for an employee to get the necessary files for this, right? I'm not a hacker by any means, but I do love customizing my phones and having what bootloader and rom I want on it.
Any thoughts?
I doubt Att even has it. They ordered them from Samsung with this bootloader. I would think that Samsung would have to release a new bootloader chain to unlock it.

Ha! Yeah right you guys are dreaming on a colossal level of you think you'll ever get your bootloader unlocked. Just suck it up buy your phone outright from another carrier, unlock it then use it. Can't afford it? Get a better job you all live in America there's awesome work outside of an office building

I think at&t guys will just have to be patient and wait it out, eventually somebody will figure out how to unlock the bootloader I remember back when I had an xperia x10 and that thing was locked down tight and like a year later a way was figured out.

Folks, in case you didn't here, the code has been cracked. Someone got a log of the entire process this Smail guy has been using to unlock people's bootloaders for profit, and the process has been posted for all to see.

Finally after waiting so long and did not want to try the sketchy alternative.
I'm thinking of purchasing an unlocked Google Pixel and wonder if the its bootloader is already unlocked or does the process listed above work for it as well? thank you.

Process worked just fine for me on a used VZW Pixel I picked up off of Amazon.
