I have tried every method that I can think of to SIM unlock my phone. I tried the Galaxy_S Unlock app in the play store, I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731931 this tool, both didn't work. I'm rooted and running the latest Slimbean build.
Have you tried galaxsim unlock

So ermm we've learned a valuable lesson here today. Try fixing your issues with every method possible, starting from the simplest ones first. ( i.e. calling your service provider first) that way we save space and people's time reading issues that aren't issues. Good luck, happy flashing.

Phone will not produce unlock code. Tried terminal but Vibrant will not go pass /is -ad. I think I flashed too many roms?!?!
I think the updates patch the hole the unlock program exploits. So its possible that you did.

That's why the second I saw that it was possible to unlock the phone, I got the unlock codes. You don't have to use them right away, but you should get them in case you ever need them.
Try "samsung galaxy s unlocker". I dont know what your trying to unlock with. this ^ is a market app that requires no terminal commands
Produces the unlock code and saves it to sd

Just call carrier and ask to provide you with the unlock code.. tell them that you travel out of the country and don't want to pay to much on international calls.. might take a couple days but at least you will always have the unlock code.

I forgot about calling the carrier. Thanks alot for you guys help! I had already tried the app but it still did not produce a code and asked if I had a Samsung Galaxy S phone. Disappointing that I couldn't do it myself.
I read up a little bit about unlock so my knowledge is not a lot. I want to unlock and go to my country ( on asia ) and use this phone which I do not have a sim card yet. Is there any way to unlock without specific sim card carrier like iphone ?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yes, the app on the market place Galaxy S unlock or something like that worked for me, there is also a one click unlock app that will get the code for you.
Oh, where can I get the one click unlock app at ?

Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting an Atrix 4G, and I wanted to know... does rooting your phone unlock it?
If not, how do you unlock the phone without having to go to some unreliable website??b

Rooting just gives you Admin rights to your device.
Unlocking it is a completely different thing. Most people buy an unlock code off of eBay...

cellunlock.net 15 bucks for a moto unlock, enter android50 as your coupon and it's 50% off!
I've unlocked 5 phones in the last month, some codes I got within an hour, one of them took just under 24 hours.
I noticed the other day that ATT now has a link on your account page that spits out the unlock code for free.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Never mind. I just reread the link and it was how to get a code to *UNBLOCK* the sim card, not unlock. I really should wear my glasses more often.

So does unlocking mean it unlocks the phone like a root, or does it mean you can use the phone on any carrier?

Means you can use it on a different carrier.

Because it will not connect to any other network other than to which it is locked..

Hmm.. that should have definitely worked. Did you press the send button/call button?
Another way you can check is by putting another sim card in and if its locked it will tell you.

It worked before, last few updates it isnt working. Maybe its something to do with how Samsung stops Voodoo sim unlock from working?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Never used voodoo sim unlock and its not working for me either. Though the ROM I'm on has a tab to check easily but all the same... the dialer code isn't working
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I dont have to use voodoo sim unlock because i bought mine full price from Samsung,unbranded but i would still like to be able to use dialer codes... Basically their latest updates reverse the unlock process by resetting the hex in the NV_data.bin every hour :/ but mine is permanently unlocked by Samsung! :happy:

try installing the omega 12 rom, as it has sim unlocking built in
The *#7465625# does not work on the Galaxy S3 anymore. That was the case for me and for everyone reporting here. I was able to get the same screen ans figure out my S3 was locked by using the app "SGS Secret Codes", which is available on the Play Store.
Does anyone know a way of figuring out which particular network the device is locked to? I just bought an S3 which was supposed to be unclocked bu it is not, and to unlock it I need to know which carrier it is locked to.
Is there a way to carrier unlock the amaze without calling T-Mobile?
I called T-Mobile and they gave me the code but I put it in wrong and after one failed attempt you can't put it again.
What's weird though is that I went to mexico and inserted a foreign sim card and to my surprise my phone got service.

Hey Eduardo!
Well the best way (easiest) to unlock is to just call T-mobile and say that you're going to some foreign place like Brazil or Ecuador or something. If one rep refuses to unlock you just call again and repeat until someone gives you an unlock code lol. Just tell them you're going out of state and need an unlock code, they will give it to you 9/10 times anyway, so you shouldn't have much trouble.
The OTHER way is to do this. Right now it's in a gray area because of the stupid law banning unlocking (except by carrier), but the Amaze was released before the law came into play so I guess it avoids the law. Good luck!

Also, if you entered the code wrong, it's fine! It will still work anyway. :good:

I think you get 5 unlock attempts before it becomes hardlocked/frozen.

I'm going to update ALL of them now and put them in line with SS3.2. Time for full domination again lol.
I'm also working on a Sense 4 port and MIUI but it's harder.
But yeah good luck, I unlocked my S3 within the dialer. HTC can't be too hard either. :thumbup:
