Hi. I have a Telus Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate 3G+ (SGH-T959D), running 2.2, that I am trying to unlock. I have found several threads on this forum dealing with unlocking, but none of them specifically say that they will work with this model. Has anyone tried a specific method and worked? It would be greatly appreciated if someone could point me to the thread that unlocked their Telus Fascinate. Thank you!
have you done this yet?
No, I did not. I gave up to avoid making the phone nonfunctional.
Get SGS Unlock in the android market (free app)
I used it on my T959D when I went home to the philippines. Was able to use a sim I bought there and had perfect service, even 3g

SGS Unlock free edition wouldn't work for me on my telus fascinate.. but the pro version did.
I rooted it with super one click 1.5.5 first before doing the unlock.
I used the market app:
"Galaxy S Unlock,2.03,com.helroz.galaxysunlock"
on my T959D Telus running 2.2.
I had to use the 3 steps in the app because it only revealed FFFFFF for my unlock code.
I too was able to unlock a Telus SGH-T959D with Froyo 2.2 using "Galaxy S Unlock" ver 2.03 from the Market.
Had to do step 2 to do it, also had to have Internet connection. Which was not possible of course because the SIM was not working. Had to use the wifi connection.
The phone was rooted before that using SuperOneClick 2.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890821)
does his work with Gingerbread 2.3.3?

I just did this with my Telus Samsung fascinate lastnight actually. I currently have GB 2.3.3... I had to Root my phone, get BusyBox, and Superuser before the Unlock App would work. But my phone is unlocked now.
I was fooling around using my sister's Fido Sim in my phone for a couple hours before she noticed her phone had no sim in it lol
Used SuperOneClick to root and had to use SGS Unlock pro version. The free version would not work.
Anyway it is now rooted and unlocked.
Thanks all for the pointers.
Sort of reviving an old thread: I'm getting a T959D as well from Telus, wanted to know if I should upgrade to GB before unlocking using the above or not.
That is assuming it's not GB already (since it's a refurb).
/EDIT NVM, it came with GB 2.3.3
The free version of the Galaxy S unlock app worked for me. I had BusyBox and Superuser installed as the previous posts suggested, and was running a 4.0.4 ROM.

Hey guys, I tried everything on this phone, from the free Market app, to the more involved method by the French guy in the Bible Sticky thread on how to unlock.... I even bit the bullet and bought an unlock code which also does not work when I try to allow it to manually register on the gsm network with MNC/MCC codes...
Is there any other method left I can try to possibly unlock my phone?
My first vibrant with 2.1 unlocked just fine.... then the mainboard on it crapped out, the replacement I got I could root & install 2.2 on easy, I think its Eugene's Froyo.... its awesome just that I can't unlock it :-(

Hi,
I just got my new samsung vibrant t-mobile, and I am a newbie in the Android area.
If I do a official upgrade to 2.2 froyo via Kies, can I unlock it with the same popular methods found here with the: Generate Unlock Windows.zip
Can anyone advise before I upgrade to 2.2? Currently the phone is still 2.1 and locked to T-Mobile.
Thanks!
I suggest unlock it before updating because I think they done something in 2.2 so you can't use any of the easy unlock methods.
relock
Does anyone know if official 2.2 would relock a sim-unlocked Vibrant?
No the new 2.2 update from T-mo will not lock your phone again, it will un-root the phone. Use superoneclick to root again agter update to 2.2

I have an unlocked Samsung Vibrant.
When I tried to upgrade to 2.2, it would start, and then give me an error message instructing me to remove and replace the battery and trying again. I tried 3 times, unsuccessfully, to upgrade.
I believe the phone has to be locked before it will be able to be upgraded to 2.2. This is just my opinion. I would like someone more knowledgeable then me to respond.
Thanks.

Hi all, im new to all this flashing stuff and all, I have a simple question and sorry if it was asked before but I did search and found nothing.
I have a bell atrix that I rooted and flashed the french sbd 2.1.1 and its greyblured, now I would like to unlock the bl to be able to flash 2.3.4 and im confused with all the guides out there.
Do I have to be on stock bell to be able to unlock it? Could someone please give me more information?
Sorry for bothering and thanks for the help

Hi there!
For starters, this is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
however, at this time there is a known issue with bell and other international phones only using about 380MB of RAM after flashing the unlock SBF. Devs are working on it, but no one can promise a quick fix.
Stock doesn't matter, I flashed from 2.1.1 without problems... except for the one above!

New to this forum and rooting but I've owned an Atrix for a long time now. Mine has 2.3.6 loaded and nd I don't need help with rooting; I got that far and verified with an app that I indeed have root access.
My intent is to get the phone unlocked. What i found here nd other forums is the procedure for unlocking the 2.3.4 version and they say the process for 2.3.6 is different. I am very afraid of bricking my device so need help in this from anyone who has unlocked after upgrading to 2.3.6 and tried out custom roms. Some relevant Useful links also welcomed.
I am using an At&T version of Atrix bought in the US, but using in India as it is carrier unlocked to be used with any sim.
Thnx in advance
Please if anyone could help me on this. I cant find any strong information about this.
