Hello, I'm new, and I need help unlocking my samsung viberant sgs from t-mobile. Its is rooted and running android froyo 2.2. I have done everything to unlock it but to no avail. What is the newest way to unlock the phone?
I tried hexing the nv_data.bin (01 to 00) and that didn't work. I also tired to find the unlock code in bml3.bak file but the code did not work...
Anyone want to shine the light so I can find the way to an unlocked phone?
did you download the free unlock tool app from the market?
Yes, I did but the unlock code could not be found. I tried everything to no avail...
Let me give you my phone specs.
Samsung viberant from T-Mobile
Model number: SGH-T959
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband version: T959UVKB5
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build version: FROYO.UVKB5.SGSII.V2
You use google search the word : galaxysunlock +android market
You are download this program for unlock to your sim
I would suggest your downgrade OS 2.2 to OS 2.1 because it is easy unlock sim.
How would I downgrade to 2.1?

OK. I flashed it to default but I still cannot unlock it. I've read on other forums that the t959 can not be unlocked. Oh, well, I guess the journey end here.
What's las situation? I have same thing
I did something very simple: Look in Android Market for "vibrant unlock" applications. I used Galaxy_S Unlock by Helroz. It worked like a charm. I have been using my scratchy old Vibrant here in Switzerland for the last six months with no problems.
it didnt work for me because I use froyo 2.2 what's yours?
It works on 2.2. I used it on mine and it unlocked it fine. Run it, wait for the black screen to come back (don't pull battery or reboot- just let it run), it'll reboot on its own.
Once that is done pull up your dialer and hit *#7465625#
If the top says Network Lock [off] then you are unlocked.
What they don't tell you is that you might have to put your new sim card providers APN in and set them for it to work. That is easy.
Just google them and go into Settings>wireless>mobile networks>apn and hit the menu button. Add APN, insert settings and don't forget to hit save. Then back out and tick the one you just entered, put sim card in and reboot.
Bottom of line is no rooting on my phone , coluldnt success it yet.. What have you used for rooting?
See my signature.
Click the link download Option A flash it, reboot and you are Rooted. Follow the instructions. It is real easy.
Thread link and my words, not at all ... damn it!!! am I stupid?
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/605-guid...thing/page__st__50__gopid__422599#entry422599
I want to root and then unlock my vibrant phone , I have tried what are above instructions but no works! I have been dealing with it for 3 hours ..
What can I next?
Samsung vibrant t959 , 2.1-update1 T959UVJFD KERNEL 2.6.29 BUİLD ECLAİR
You see that I did something that verisons was changed but why it didnt work at all , I hit busybox it says "no root"
thank you and excuse me for angry

Ok do this. Download Option A and put it on you internal SD so that it is the only thing on your internal SD labeled Update.zip. Then boot into recovery and hit reinstall packages. Might have to do it twice. Once done reboot. Should be rooted then. Pull up app drawer and check for Superuser app.
Are you on 2.1 or 2.2 now? It you want a good 2.2 try Fishman's Bionix. Put it on your sdcard but this time you'll want to download Option B, install packages twice and the flash Rom. It will already be rooted and then you can download app and unlock.
same thing no root acsess

Hi,
I have bought two phones from craiglist.
1. Captivate, and
2. Vibrant.
Both are locked. I did read forums before buying, and to me it looked i will be able to unlock. After 4 days of experiments and trails. I feel stuck, exhausted and also screwed.
Mine 1st worry is to get both of them unlocked, and 2nd is to get them rooted.
When i bought the Vibrant, it was already rooted on 2.1 eclair. I tried sgslock.apk (latest) to unlock, but no codes found using both root and unroot option. I read in one thread that sgsUnlock works better with froyo.
I followed the instructions at to install froyo on both the phones.
1. w w w . pathikshah. com/blog/install-android-2-2-froyo-galaxy-s
This froyo build is with prefix I9000XXJP2.
The installation process is straight forward, run Odin select all the files PDA, Modem and CSC. Select the other downloaded PIT file (link on the same page).
Press the Start Button. Wait for the device to reboot into froyo.
What it did.
This installed froyo, the froyo looked stock
Ques 1 - What does stock mean? straight from the google, without bloatware.
Tired to do lot of things to get the vibrant and captivate rooted. But nothing worked.
The funny observation is it reverses the functionality of Vol+ and Vol- keys and makes the Power Button function-less, during the recovery screen. So, after the reboot, first i have to use vol+ (up) button to scroll down, after that to select i press power button which doesnot respond to any selections. So none of root patched reboots were installed. It hasppens for both the phones.
Ques 2 - Does it mean, the build i am using I9000XXJP2 is bad. Another observation it show Recovery 3e, whereas on all the forums i see talk about 2e.
Ques 3 - Do i have to get to Recovery 2e. If yes, then how?
I tried sgsUnlock on both the phones. Latest version and the older version.
So, the SgsUnlock cudnt have any root privilege to do a actual "root generate code".
Then I tried various one click solutions,
a. Generate windows unlock
b. super one click
c. Various version of Generate windows unlock
d. adb methond, but i am not sure if i am doing it right.
The SuperClickOne unlocked the captivate, i am really glad but terribly tired with vibrant. SuperClickOne didnot root the captivate. Its "Unlock Captivate" tab did the job.
Ques 4a - The unlock code now I have for captivate, will it remain the same for every new android I install later. I mean will it bother me like Iphones, after every update my baseband will be locked, and then all the trauma again.
Ques 4b - Or is it unlocked forever. Even if it is somehow locked again, the same code with do the unlocking.
Ques 4c - SuperOneClick -- Does not have a " vibrant unlock" tab like "captivate unlock" tab. Is their any other application which does a vibrant specific unlock, or a sure-shot vibrant unlock?
Please advice, how to
i - unlock vibrant
ii - install right froyo on vibrant, and root it.
iii - install right froyo on captivate, and root it.
iv - i am even open to install modfied froyos, if i am able to do the above 3.
Thanks a lot in anticipation.
May I make a suggestion, however I don't know if it will solve your problem.
I think after the JI6 OTA, the unlock app no longer worked.
Would it be posssible to use ODIN, to flash your phone back to stock JFD, then run the unlock app, and get your unlock code! Then you can flash your phone to the most recent update after getting the code.
Maybe it will work? Trick the system by downgrading!
Yes that is what i am also trying to do. I am looking at the safest bet, i mean install eclair or froyo which is unlockable. Get the unlock codes for vibrant. And later install the latest build. Can please some one post the link for the stock build.
i am looking at "http :// forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475".
any other recommendations. Thanks.

I just did that, and the unlock does not work. I used the file at h**p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
Is their a reason the nv_data file might corrupted.?
I believe any phone with JI6 or later will not be able to use sgsunlock. Even if you go back to stock JFD. There is a work around though. If you go to the Bible in the developers section there is a link to where helroz was able to get around this. I think the link says JI6 SimUnlock Fix or something like that.

Another suggestion. Are you a T-Mobile customer? T-Mobile customers, of at least 40 days, get free unlock codes. They might even give you an unlock code for the captivate if you intend on using it on their network. (a rep once told me they can get any unock code for their customers, but for non-tmobile phones the process just takes longer) maybe the rep was wrong...but its worth it for the captivate also.
That is your best bet, and it is free.
Got the unlock code from T-mobile. Nothing else worked. Thanks.
help
hello, i have recently bough a samsung galaxy s 190000t of ebay. The first week there was no problems with the phone at all but now it will not make or recieve any calls or messages but everything else works fine?. the first week no problems, there still is reception bars on the phone and the phone is not sim locked. what do you think is wrong and what can i do to fix it. maybe the phone was a stolen one an the origanl owner bloked or something like that ? it is there any chance yous could help me out?
I have root, the first time it froze and didn't sent a test correctly. So I tried it again using Super one. Now I have superuser. Tried both apps on the market and neither one seem to have worked thus yet.
When I try Herolz Galaxy s unlock It is unable to copy EFS, All it says is Done, Error, Not saved. And yes there is an SD card present.
The GS2 unlocker also available on the market will fart around for over 5 minutes and say unlock code not found.
What gives am I doing something wrong? I have tried it with the sim in and with it out. Using Family mobile from Walmart, so I am guessing Tmobile sim card.
Please give me some other root around this.

I didn't know ti wasn't stock. LOL . I just bought it used from a shop here yesterday as am upgrade from gs1. Could you possibly direct me in the right direction as I am unsure what part you are talking about mot being stock.
Than ks in advance
you know you'll only get Edge on Tmo bands.
KH7 is stock, but you stated you have root. Did you do it? if not then check the android Development forums on how to get back to stock. and start the root proccess again.
I got the root through superoneclick. It seemed it did ok as the secong time I went through it said it was already rooted. as for the crappy internet it won't really matter here as we don't even have 3g here in this town for t-mobile anyhow.
if I un-root and re flash back to stock just using the button press combo work? Any why does it only get edge on tmobile?

Unroot and back to stock would require Odin/Heimdall.
Only gets Edge on Tmo because its an at&t phone. different bands for 3g.
I have used Super One Click in the past, but its just easier to flash a rooted kernal in Odin/Heimdall, then flash a custom ROM via CWM.
Back to stock is mainly because SuperOneClick is an old tool. and then starting fresh with the latest.
But I had no need to unlock my phone, but from what I've heard its very simple, and most dont have any issues. using the app from the market
I am not afraid of ODIN. I have done that in the past but I did have a huge problem with the GS1 installing an older kernel. I just about bricked the phone. I had to use the HEimdall or what ever it was to get back in it.
On these phone with a custom kernal and rom will it automatically unlock the phone? I am just afraid of using the wrong one and in this particualr section I am sure as to where to go. It doesn't give a whole lot of detail and with the cryogen mod thing it is getting places where I am not sure if I want to really try that. I would but the information is spaced out so much I am afraid of missing something and buggering everything up. What should I have to worry about when doing this?
Also it is the software unlocking I am having problems with.

Custom kernal will not unlock the phone to be used on a network other than at&t.
Software unlock? assuming you mean using s/w to unlock the device, yes thats the way i understood this thread. I cant really tell ya much about that, but i have heard that its easy and works fine, which is why you should go back to stock first, to get rid of anything messy leftover from using an old rooting method.

You're probably fine as is. Look in Settings | About Phone. If you are stock UCKH7 it should read something like -

And why does it only get edge on tmobile?

AT&T hardware handles different frequencies than T-Mobile hardware. It's a limitation of the phone's capability to receive the signal.

Stupid busy box was causing errors. re-downloaded it from the market and installed. Whoalla, unlocked. WTF.... Stupid phone. HAHAHA Thanks...
Trouble Unlocking After Odin Root of
I rooted my phone using Odin and the Siyah-v3.4.2-nomswap-I777.tar file in the PDA. The phone passed, and it reloads with the triangle on the start up as expected. However, it then says "enter network lock control key". It has nothing to do with the sim, as the sim works in another phone. I have done the process several times, running odin back to the original factory settings with I777UCLE5_I777ATTLE5_I777UCLE5_HOME.tar.md5
Could someone please tell me how to get the phone unlocked?
I have done this process before with another i777 phone, and it worked fine.

I have tried re-installing both software and then reboot. still no luck.:crying:
So I accidently have locked myself out of my phone by changing my number to another network and thinking I could still use my current SIM in my phone until I got it unlocked.
I haven't been able to send or receive texts or anything for around 3 days now.
The place online I was getting it unlocked at said there was a delay with Samsung so they refunded me.
I tried the unlock apps but they don't work.
In GalaxSim, it says my phone is unlocked by when I try another SIM it doesn't work.
In the FAQ it says this could be a second SIM lock by the service provider, and to fix it I have to flash a full unbranded Samsung ROM.
I was wondering how I do this?
I'm on Cyanogen 10 and I currently have Jellybean on my device but I'm not too sure on what I have to do to flash to this ROM and if it will erase my data?
Thanks for any help!

CM10/jellybean is not a "stock" rom. CM10 is a "AOSP" based rom.
Stock rom refers to your devices/carriers default rom, ie Samsung based rom. Get your needed rom from sammobile.com
Flashing Guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
If you want to unlock your device use the search there is plenty of topics if you use keywords like "sim unlock" etc.
Oh so I have to reset my phone pretty much? Can I go back to Cyanogen 10 after I get the stock ROM?

I didnt say you have to do anything however you may have compatibility issues unlocking sim so would probably best to go back to stock.
Yes, you can go back and forth to any rom you want.
Flash stock rom via odin (download mode)
Flash Siyah kernel (again in download mode)
Reboot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset.
Boot Android and use sim unlock etc.
Reboot into recovery and flash whatever rom you like.
Thanks for that, I went onto that site you mentioned, sammobile.com and I chose to do their unlock method with SRS, it was only 15 euro so I'll see if it fixes it!

Are you crazy?
There is plenty of ways to do it yourself for FREE if you would just stop been lazy and use search button.
Obviously I'm wasting my time, waste your money.
1) Get Mobile Odin Pro for 3 euro and download this Unbranded Stock ROM:
http://www.sammobile.com/2012/11/15/i9100xxlsj-%E2%80%93-galaxy-s-ii-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-test-firmware/
2) Read Mobile Odin thread by chainfire:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
3) Flash the downloaded ROM following the guide above.
4) Check if your network still locked, If it is check this thread out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070375
5) Tell us how you did.
When I try run Mobile Odin it gives me an error about not being able to detect the device. It's not asking for super user privileges either?
your device is not rooted? weren't you in CM 10.1?
What device are you packing? GT-I9100?
I followed everything you said and my phone is still locked. No luck

It was rooted but then I did a root checker and it said it wasn't, must of lost it after changing to CM 10 I think.
I downloaded some auto rooter and that rooted the phone for me. Then I followed your instructions and now I'm freshly formatted but still not working. Tried all the unlocker tools again and still doesn't work. GalaxUnlock says I'm already unlocked so it must be a second network lock.
But in his instructions he says that flashing to a stock Samsung ROM fixes it, but I thought that's what I just done.
sure you don't have an IMEI issue? You did back EFS folder before you flashed for the first time right?
check you IMEI by dialing *#06# and see if it matches the imei number sticked below the battery.

IMEI matches the one that I had before I started trying all this and matches the one behind the battery.
In the Galaxy Unlocker app I backed up the EFS files when it asked me tther than that I haven't touched them really. Any recommendations? I've tryed pretty much everything I have seen.
I'm searching for the network info key-in code, for you to see what's locked and what's not. Can't seem to find it tho.
Do you have another carrier sim card to put in & see if it asks for an unlocking code?

I currently have my Meteor sim card in the phone, that's the company I was with for years.
The phone lets me browse and use apps and stuff when this sim card is in it.
I have another sim card for 48 who I am changing to, which asks for the unlock code.
Before with GalaxSim Unlock, it said I was already unlocked. I downloaded an old version now everything says undefined, and said it can't read the nv data, however I am nearly positive I have backups of this as I saw them on the card.
Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock just gives me an unlock code of 00000000 which doesn't work and Galaxy S Unlock doesn't work either, altough it says it does

Well, now we know that you are indeed locked, thats good.
busybox installed on your device?
if yes, try installing another version (older/newer) once downloaded install it and keep it working in the background, then run the unlocking apps again

I have Busybox installed, but I have two versions, BusyBox free and BusyBox installer, don't know if it matters that I have the two of them.
I have went to a much lower version of it but GalaxSim Unlock still says it can't read nv data.
I tried that program also and it says my Video card isn't supported :S
And hit the restore button in Galaxy S 2 Unlock and GS2_Repair so I presume it got restored. Where should the efs folder be located so I can double check?

I also got 2 busybox (free 8.9.7 & installer 4.1).
GalaxSim Unlock should have a restore button, dunno the location of the back up, but the EFS folder should be in the data folder, u'll need a root explorer to get to it.
Hi all,
My phone has been working fine a few weeks ago. However, recently when I decided to give my nephew my Xperia X10a. With Xperia S port ROM, for some reason it does not recognize his SIM Card and my SIM card. We're on T-mobile network.
In any case, I read that if I go back to stock rom then go forward again then it would fix the the problem.
I have tried going back using Sony PC Companion but it keeps on saying that there is no update available for my firmware.
In the mid of hoping to downgrade and the frustration of not able to download those Stock ROMs (Keeps on getting forward to lnx.lu) , I accidentally flashed "BLReLock".
Now, I can't access to Xrecovery nor Flashing any other ROMs using FlashTool.

I tried to unlock the bootloader again but every single document says that I have to be on android 2.2 or 2.3
Here is some info about the phone.
Model number: X10S
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: 2.1.71
Kernel version: 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537 [email protected] #1
Build number Champ-Tof37-Wo88les-X10-s-V9
Any advice on how to unlock the bootloader and get back to Xrecovery so I can flash Stock ROM would be great.
Thank you for any expert advices that can give. I am pulling whatever left of my hairs at the moment.
- Never mind, I was able to installed "X10_2.3_Gingerbrea_aro".
- I guess I am in a better situation than before. However, my phone still doesn't recognized the SIM Card for some reason.

Did you unlock your bootloader with s1tool?

No, I unlocked my bootloader using qsd8250 tool set.
Hi all
I have a galaxy s2 i777 ATT - I can't find its own place on this forum so please forgive me if this in the wrong section
My S2 was unrooted and then I loaded omni kitkatt on it which locked my sim . big noob mistake I feel really dumb believe me.
Now I had unrooted it in the with odin and loaded Siyah ics to finally root it because the sim got locked. I live outside of the USA and nowhere near an ATT network. It has the CWM recovery on it
So all was well until someone ( my nephew ) decided to load omni again and then he loaded Carbon on it
The strange thing that is happening right now is that I do see Superuser in the settings but my sim is still locked I tried to use galaxys2 unlock but it doesnt do anything.
No biggie right but now it turns out my USB port is not working.
So here are my questions :
- How do i get my phone back to stock without a pc and root it (I live outside of the usa thats why I believe my sim gets locked ) so we can use the phone again to call
or
- Can I use mobile odin to load the stock version of android back on it and then unroot it again so I can unlock my phone ?
- Can I try to use frama root to check if my phone is really rooted and if so can it help root my phone ?
For now I'd just like to get it back to stock and root it ( so I can unlock my sim)
I need your help .
Thanks
Maddie
The good news is that you're in the right place, so welcome!
Next, I'm guessing you're still on Carbon? If so please look in System Settings >About Phone and please tell us the rom, kernel and modem version currently installed on your device. It's always good for us to know your full setup.
Regarding the sim issue I have virtually no experience with it, but I do know you can simply call AT&T and they should supply the unlock code (if you have a working phone, of course). You may have to supply your serial and IMEI #, both of which can be found on the battery, so probably best to have that handy if you call them.
You don't have to be on bone stock to unlock your phone, you just need the unlock code... and hang onto it for as long as you own your i777!
Have you tried the GalaxSim Unlock application? Here is a link to download the free version. You may find that you can unlock your rooted phone without flashing back to stock. I have limited experience with this application. I recently sold an AT&T SGH-I897 Captivate which I unlocked successfully with this app while it was rooted on stock Gingerbread. The purchaser wanted KitKat so I loaded CyanogenMod 11 onto it, and checked that the unlock was still present.
To answer your other questions:
I'm not sure why you are asking to "unroot" the phone after returning to stock. As far as I know, you need to be rooted to unlock the phone unless you have the unlock code from AT&T.
You can flash stock firmware with mobile odin. The stock package does not contain root, so your phone will automatically be "unrooted." If you go this route, I would suggest you use the I777UCMD8 stock tar from the Download Repository.
From stock UCMD8, you can successfully root the phone with Framaroot using the Aragorn exploit.

Hi thanks for helping out this is what I got:
CARBON-JB-NIGHTLY-20130929-0603-i777.zip
Kernel version
[email protected]#1sunsep2906:36:49 edt 2013
ROM: CWM based recovery v6.0.3.8
I cant find modem version
I'm in south America and I had bought the phone from the usa unlocked.
When Omni was loaded on the phone it locked my sim and I never had received an unlock code.
So when I went back to stock my sim still stayed locked so I rooted it again with Siyah ICS via odin so I could use galaxy unlock to get my sim working again.
How would I go about getting that unlock code for my sim from Att ?
Do you think I could email att ? I did find my serial number and imei #
The reason I wanted to go back to stock and than unroot it with the siyah ics kernel is because that seems to be stable for my phone.
Yes I have tried using galaxy unlock but it doesn't work it doesn't read the Imei nr and the sim stays locked
Honestly it looks like my phone is half rooted now
BTW the the sim being locked is more like a carrier locked I can't use the sim with my local telecommunnications company.
Thanks again.
