If you phone them up and explain that you are going abroad then they should give the unlock code.
They charge £15 :-(

Sorry mate but if you dont want to root your phone, then it looks like you will have to pay.
P.S You should step into the world of being rooted, you will never want to go back.
Id love to root. My only concern is the warranty. Even if I pay for it they can't generate the code right away. It takes them over a week and I Dont have that long.

And if I was to root can it be undone if I ever need to send my phone to the manufacturer for repair? Can they detect its been rooted

Just flash a stock rom or even the kernal only and you will be unrooted.
Its the counter which is the usual issue - and triangleaway will deal with that or if your bootloader is old enough a Jig.
Thanks guys but I'm a girl and Dont really understand all these technical terms lol but thanks for the info

If you root your phone then it will void your waranty, they can tell if you have rooted by your counter, their is a way to reset this if you ever need to take it back under waranty. The only problem is that the methods for resetting your counter are not %100 and can break your phone. If you decide to root your phone then the guide in my signature, will help with this is will show you what you need to read and where to get everything you need also.
Has anyone heard of micro box? I seen it on YouTube to find an unlock code for various devices. Has anyone tried this method to unlock?

I have just checked out the website and it is a paid for service, as you buy the equipment and use it to unlock phones.
Oh this is so frustrating there must be a way without rooting
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Not without paying for it. If you want it for free, you'll need to root.
Just root the phone and unlock it
I never cared about warenty cuz if your phone is with you for months then its really rare that you find something wrong in the hardware section and if your phone broke which means not booting don't panic cuz as i can remember you can install a Rom on it and your ready to go
Before you go anywhere i recommend you to back up your phone and install lookout incase you lost it and write down your imei number
Have fun and be careful

I am sure their is a way,in some corner of the web that you could do it for free, but i wouldent trust any services like that and members wont talk about it on XDA, even if their were.

Because they would see the risk in doing that, and would recommend rooting, you will get a lost more support if you rooted your phone, and unlocked it that way. rooting your phone is a big leap but once you have done it and know how easy it is then you would be glad, just dont root if you are dead set on not doing it. If you do decide to root your phone then you will need to get your geek on and learn how to do it, to avoid any problems.

I use root for OC with setcpu! To backup my apps when i format my phone i use Titanium Backup so root is almost a must have! I recommend it to eveyone who wants to take the most of your phone.
And its less risky to root samsung devices cuz they can be brought back to factory condition by flashing stock firmware via ODIN.
Rooting isnt as risky as flashing (infact it isnt risky at all until you flash some wrong stuff).
Root your ace and Enjoy

I am 15. I have already flashed my phone with around 13 ROM's. Even bricked it sometimes. But, somehow managed to get it back to life. Chill, rooting is safe until you flash something. And do *NOT* overclock after rooting

my suggestion for this is to root, your phone can have more of the good stuff if you are rooted plus you can tweak your phone if you wanted to, just don't panic like the others when they brick their phone or any of those common questions here

when you root your phone, you can either still have the stock rom or you can flash a new rom like cm7 it doesn't necessarily mean when you root your phone you'll have to flash a new rom or kernel it depends on you, but people do flash a new rom/ kernel for a purpose, maybe to have their phone perform faster..

Rooting just installs an app called Superuser. The phone stays the same. But with that simple Superuser app, you can give your phone a complete makeover.
I highly recommend you root, but if you don't want to mess with it or don't know what you're doing, then don't. Or if you're going to, make sure to follow a guide step by step.
WHATEVER YOU DO STAY AWAY FROM ROM MANAGER. It will COMPLETELY break your phone to the point of no return.

Partly yes, but rooting install too the /system/xbin/su binary, he is required to have working root. That means Rooting installs an app called Superuser and /system/xbin/su.
Hi everyone,

Honestly I would not attempt to flash without a pc handy...due to the saying
"ya never know"
Even though we have the same make/model devices....they are not the same... my GNote may not like a ROM as to yours might...like I trying explaining ... the computer being your safety net if something goes wrong....I would wait or find a friend that you can use a computer, but it is your call, it is your investment.
btw unless someone knows a way to put CWM on the device without a computer....I believe you will need a computer...
Since CWM is a custom kernel, you could flash it from the phone using the Mobile Odin app.
Edit: oops never mind -- you need to be rooted to use Mobile Odin. Sorry for the bad information.
I rooted one phone using the terminal emulator after downloading such and busy box to the SD card. But its harder than climbing Everest without oxygen typing those commands.

So I Bought a Galaxy note (i717) the charger port is messed up on the device. It will charge, but it wont allow any PC connectivity. I have searched google and xda for information how how to root this phone with out a PC (aka using an .apk like framaroot) and I can not find a viable solution. I have tried Z4Root and Framaroot and neither of them work. Do you know of any other ways to root my device with out a pc? If i dont need a Root to Flash Could you point me in the right direction to find that information I haven't put CWM on the device yet because I Cant Root so I cant MobileOdin ect.. you see the picture lol. Is it possible to use an Update.zip file? or use a formatted SDcard to flash it like I did to Flash NookColor1?

Hi.
First of all I apologize for my not so good English.
The thing is that I hard bricked my note i717 by flashing a wrong kernel and now I know that JTAG is my only option, but I want to know if they are going to be able to bring my phone back to life, I don't live in the US that is the reason why I want to be 100% sure before I send it.
I was experiencing some problems with the USB not being recognized by any computer, after searching and reading a lot of post it came down to an incompatible kernel (something to do with the fast-charge feature) so I tried to flash a fast-charge compatible kernel but I downloaded it wrong and BAM!!! my phone is just a brick now (kinda useful to hold the door)
Full info:
I had the stock AT&T rom, then flashed some other roms without problems until this one:
cm-10.1-20130304-experimental-quincyatt-m2, that's where the USB problems began... before that rom I had pa_quincatt-2.57-20120122-201611 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686320)
My question is:
Is it possible to connect the device(you know the JTAG method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0SX3iDuIZc ) now that it is hardbricked even if it wasn't recognized before bricking?
I appreciate the responses in advance. :laugh::laugh:

I've noticed on my phone that on the right side my phone is developing dust in it and on close inspection you can see that there's a big gap compared to everywhere else. I've had the phone for a few months on contract and got it through carphone warehouse and after speaking to them they said they will send it back to Samsung.
I'm on a custom ROM and need to get back to stock and reset my flash counter to get my warranty back. I've got an idea how to do it but would appreciate your guys expert knowledge. I've read that you need to use triangle away but heard people say that it can break your touchscreen.

On the triangle away thread it says if you're on s3 you need to be on stock rom for it to work but the instructions on the sticky don't say that plus he's using ICS.
Here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2148708
Triangle away also runs with custom roms as it is more connected to the bootloader (?) Or recovery then the rom.
