[Q] Question about unlock post ROM install - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

If you flash back to 1.8.3. YOU WILL HAVE A DAM HARDBRICK

Don't know what forums you came from mate, we're not trolling here. Unless you post a question in the development forum, which you didn't! ;-)
You need to be on 1.8.3 to unlock. No clue about permaroot.

Sorry but is NOT A MUST to be in 1.8.3
But I agree is the smart way to do it, to work around the softbrick for first time users with already 2.3.4/4.5.91

YOU WILL NOT GET ANY UPDATES IF YOU ARE ROOTED... stock rom or not if you are rooted then no more ota updates.. you will have to just install by flashing your rooted phone.

I agree with you on waiting for a stable release. I need something I know will work, but I'm very excited that CM has moved to JB so quickly.
The only OTA update I need is a download of my next custom ROM.

There's no way to port that over. It requires TW framework and libs which cannot be ported over because it is very different.

CM10 > Samsung in general. I had to briefly flash back to my stock Samsung ICS nandroid backup today after running CM10 for the past 5 days, and it seemed incredibly slow and choppy compared to CM10. I was blown away at the difference.

How can we get it now? I have the Verizon i535... I don't think there is a stable rom yet.

Unlocking in CM?

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.

Samsung i577 Galaxy exhilarate.

Why is there no place on xda for this phone? I have been searching and so far I've only found a deodexed stock ics rom and the CM9 and CM10 rom. Does anyone know if there is a touchwiz jellybean rom for this phone, or a developer forum for it anywhere?

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
