Running on ICS and looking to Unlock! - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there anyway I can unlock my phone so it can be used for any carrier if I'm 4.0.4 ICS? I found this link and I'm not sure if it works for my OS: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-sim-unlock-samsung-galaxy-s-for-free-without-code/ Can anyone who has unlocked their phones tell me a working unlocking tool?

hi, try this app from the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwyLDEsImNvbS5oZWxyb3ouZ2FsYXh5c3VubG9jayJd
"Sim unlock Galaxy S, Galaxy S II and his Variants (Vibrant, Captivate), Galaxy Tab and Note."
PS. MAKE SURE you read all the information.

I personally use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.DaGentooBoy.SGSUnlockPro
If you sim unlock it, it should be fully unlocked no matter which Android version you're using.
Also try to delete tracking id from url, if you care to.

I finally unlocked my Vibrant running on ICS. Unfortunately I can't tell if I really unlocked it or not because I don't have a different SIM...

[Q] Any new update on sim unlock

I recently (08/08/11) got a locked UK Orange BVKG3, and wanted to know has there been any update on getting these phones unlocked?
It just seemed as soon as the first lot got these done everybody just stopped trying i'd really like to get some help on this and will be happy to help if i can.
p.s. im an absolute noob on phone tech, but have rooted the phone
If phone is rooted , after that it is very easy. Download sgs 2 app(dev is chainfire) from market. Follow the instruction, that's it. Works for me works for you.

1st you need to root it ! go on "original android development" find the tutorial for rooting and do it
after you root you can go to android market and search for unlock sgs2 or just type "chainfire" and you gona see the application to unlock you phones for all networks
my android version is 2.3.5 will this still work?

Not sure how to unlock SGS2, it already has ICS, could anybody advise ? Thanks
Are we talking sim unlock? If so search market for sim unlock and use the chinfire or helroz ones.
I had no luck with chainfires but the helroz one worked perfectly.
Mine was locked to orange.

I believe device needs to be rooted first ? And yes - i need sim unlock
yes both those apps need root, but should defo do the sim unlock for you. worked for me

It worked ! chainfire's failed but helroz did the job
and of course in this case you lose your warranty, right?

[Q] GT-I9300 - how to unlock bootloader

Hello All,
i have the GT-I9300 Europe version, rooted, JB 4.1.1
i would be happy to know how to unlock the device boot-loader since i didn't find any good or useful guide
i even heard that the Samsung have already an unlocked boot-loader - i don't think it's true.
Thank you very much.
S3 Bootloaders are unlocked cept the Verizon US Variant (which an unlock is available)

Hi,
Thanks for the answer.
if so, how can i check if my boot loader is indeed unlock?
Since early 2011 Samsung has only had unlocked bootloaders with the exception when a provider demanded it (like Verizon).
So yours is UNLOCKED.

OK thanks, but must be a way to check it, right?
i want to learn you know...
If its locked you can neither flash root nor a custom rom .
But it does not apply SGS3 I9300 has never been locked .

1) The bootloader is not locked. Your post is based on rubbish and could potentially brick an international s3. Please only post things you understand, not dangerous nonsense like this.
2) "dis" and "ur" are not proper words. The language of this forum is English and you have a responsibility to use real words. Sure, you may use less-than-perfect grammar and punctuation but at least try to spell words properly if you want to be taken seriously*
*also depends on 1).

That thread shows how to install a new kernel on the device, which is great. But does that mean it is also unlocked (besides rooted)?
Thanks

Nope, there used to be an app to unlock it, downloaded it from google play store, but I think you can only find it here at xda developers now.
I think you need to Odin the i777 firmware to it before you can use the app to unlock.

S3 Android 4.3, network unlock

Any method to unlock? I tried GalaxSim Unlock, but it doesn't work.
clone imei?
if it is, then flash pathced mk6 modem and kernel.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48312984
I mean, my phone is locked on Orange Romania and I want to unlock it, I don't want to clone my IMEI or w/e you gave me...
Unfortunately not like that.
You will need to contact our carrier or pay to have it done.
it's possible if your rooted
How?
