Search Samsung Galaxy S Unlock tool on the market. This is the easiest way to unlock your phone.

Does it work?

Yes it worked great for me. I was on stock rom and rooted though. I was able to start using my AT&T sim card after I did it.

as mentioned above.. go to Market, and look for SGS Unlock, if the free version can not generate the unlock code, go for the Pro version.. or you could do it yourself for free by following instructions here:

[Q] is it safe to root before unlocking?

I have searched everywhere for this, but couldnt find anything...
I just want to know if it is safe to root with the preinstall method to make a backup of my apps before i unlock.
I am on an at&t atrix running 4.5.91/2.3.4 (gingerbread)
While I haven't unlocked my device yet, I can't see why not?
Everyone around here was rooted with one form of method or another before unlocking even existed...

[Q] Can I use another sim card in the P769(TMobile)?

Hi,
I have a LG P769 from TMobile, how can I use this phone without a tmobile sim card but from another company like my brazilian sim card?
Can I flash other rom instead of p769? Will it work?
I was reading this topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40691384&postcount=7
here says to unlock bootloader with a P765 first. So, can I stay with this rom?
Thank you.
If it is a prepaid phone the alternative SIM may work. Try putting it in. See what happens. You don't need to unlock the boot loader to unlock SIM. Worst case scenario if it asks for an unlock code, power off the device then either contact T-Mobile if there isn't a contract on the phone to get an unlock code or look up SIM unlock online to get unlocking service.

Thank you for the answer, I input the network unlock code and the phone works with any carrier now.
But how can I remove all the tmobile bloatware this phone has? Can I change it to a international unbranded phone?
Check out the v21b (Canada version) wind mobile. It's a nice clean Rom. So much better than the T-Mobile jelly bean

Root it and download a root unistaller to get rid of the bloatware.

How do I flash this rom? My phone is a p769 10g. Is it easy?
Flash the kdz file or the cwm rooted file in the other post called nandroid backup files in the general area.
