I purchased an unlock code so I can lend my phone to a buddy for a few weeks (I'm on Telus, he's on Rogers). Unfortunately, I don't think the ability to unlock your device has been cooked into CM yet. If it has been, can someone post a tutorial on how? If it hasn't, can someone direct me to a stock Gingerbread ROM using the v20a baseband?
EDIT: My "problem" is the inability to find a place to punch my code in. I've already tried “2945#*500#”, "2945#*71001#", and "*#865625#" all the while having a non-recognized SIM inserted into the phone. No result.
When I unlocked mine I had to go to 2.3.3. I just loaded dynamite for the unlock and then restored cm.

If you continued to read he, himself stated it was bull. He thought he unlocked it but didn't and wanted to buy some time so he lied...

unzip both attached files, run root and recover while connected to the pc and run follow instructions, then open recovery, run bat while your phone connected, you may have run it a couple of times, you will need to be rooted 1st.

Full csca certificate unlock using Sony s1 signature server is a solution apparently. Just waiting for it to come back online.
You can check the status of the server here -

Yep, unfortunately.
I have had it confirmed by a couple of people on here that they've done it and it works.
You have to buy credits to use the server.
Www.microunlocker.com is one site that offers the service using ezSemc software.

I am waiting patiently for this server to come back online. If you Google it, there are rumours it may never come back online.
Someone set a thread up here saying it worked and from that thread, someone else tried it and it worked for them.
I already gave the people money to buy credits, but they refunded me saying the server is offline for an unknown amount of time.
So no, but I'm so annoyed with it being blocked I am willing to try, and then post the results here.
I missed the server being online by a couple of days.
Cheers,
Lunar.

Hello mate,
Just wondered if you managed to change the unlocking status of the bootloader using ezsemc and getting credits.
Realised the thread in general section has been closed now.

yes, if and when it comes back online. it was online about 3 months ago and the cost was around 60 US.
The last time the s1 server was down it took a year to come back online.
I have heard rumors that it might not come back.
Hey all,
Great forum here full of resources. I have a quick question about my Samsung Vibrant. I had unlocked it and then upgraded it to ICS Passion. Is is still unlocked after the Android upgrade or will I need to unlock it again? Thanks!
I believe it's still unlocked.
Your phone will stay unlocked forever. Like mine.

Hey guys, I'm not a noob or somekind of it but this is my first attempt to Unlocking Bootloader with Test Point Method on My Xperia Ray (My XM Unlocked by the Official Way)
But i always encounter this error "qcReceivePacket: Can't get packet start."
Does anybody know whats wrong?

This has been discussed in the thread on how to unlock the bootloader using tespoint method.
As far as I remember your phone's building date is too new and you can't unlock using tespoint. But I'm not sure

This has been mentioned a lot in the test point thread...
The newly manufactured Xperia devices can't be unlocked by test point method...
Sony has kind of blocked this method
So the Only way is the Official Sony Method?

Just to make sure. You tried galaxysim unlock. It is different than galaxy s unlock. Galaxy s unlock is no longer working on Jelly Bean.

It is paid right ?
The one on the forum is not. Get it from the play store and you will have to pay.

Thanks a lot
So basically the answer is this :-
Galaxy S Unlock doesnt work for JB and ICS.
You can use galaxy Sim Unlock to unlock your phone running ICS or JB
You got it
