good day peeps!
ive bought a samsung galaxy s 2, assuming i could unlock it for my carrier (from ? to rodgers).
it seems a way harder hack than i was ready for, every time i look online for help the website has their hand out for $$.

so, i am totally new to the nonifone, and am unsure even what im lookin for, by name.
really all i want to do is unlock it so i can use rodgers carrier, but the stor says its not possible, web sites say no praw but want $$.
any help will be greatly appreciated, and thankx ever so much for your time.

I just got my Galaxy SII from Bell Canada and need to unlock it to Fido. After spending hours on forums still haven't been able to find a simple guide to do this. If someone could please help me out with this, very anxious to use this amazing phone but don't really want to pay $40 to get a unlock code. I've been using Android for a couple months but haven't really gotten into rooting until now. Thanks.
All the info you need should be on the first post of this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193695
I am looking forward to buying a Bell (in Canada) locked Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
I need to send it to US as a gift and thus it will require an unlock for use on different carriers. I have tried searching but haven't found much info on how to carrier unlock the device. Can someone give me some info on this? I will greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
Any help please?
Check out Tab 10.1 Unlock by DaGentooBoy in the Market, that's what I used.

^ Thanks! Will give that a shot.
The unlock trick is really a simple bit (1) to change for a (0) with a hex editor in the nvconf.bin file; did it manually; was fun as hell ;-)

Can you be more specific as to the process and tools used, please? Can this be undone easily without impact to 4G service and/or manufacturer/warranty issue?
hi
where we find nvconf.bin ?
Sometimes it's just easier to buy the unlock code.
Sure I've hex edited the nvram file many times, and I've purchased codes when I can't be bothered.
If your a newbie and your not really interested in rooting it then try cellunlocker.net they seem ok. (not sure of the bell cost for the P7500 though)
Hi everyone,
Sorry if this has already been answered, but I'm losing focus reading all the posts on the subjects. And I'm on a limited timeframe, so I would really appreciate if someone could help me or point me at information that I can use. I'm totally new to Android - replacing my iPhone.
I just got a Note from Rogers (Canada). I have 2 weeks to return if I'm not satisfied. I like Note but it's locked and I travel a lot, so I need to unlock it. There are too many options here and I'm getting confused:
1. Google gives me a lot of links to some shady websites that promise an unlock via some magic. Are these legit? Do they work? I couldn't find any definite answer.
2. Rooting/replacing ROMs/other crazy stuff. I'm ok with this as long as I know that I can unlock the device and it will stay unlocked. I would prefer to wait until ICS is released, but I need an unlock soon
So, my questions are:
1. Is going with Note from Rogers a good idea? Or should I spend money on an unlocked version from Europe?
2. Should I buy Roger's version outright? Expensive and I'm paying my 3 year term anyway Then they can unlock the phone for a fee ($50).
3. Can I use one of those online unlocking sites? Or will I just get ripped off and won't get the actual unlock?
4. Does the phone stay unlocked after an update (like to ICS) if online unlockers are used and work?
5. Seeing how different the versions of Note are is there a chance that the Canadian version (Roger's) will get much less attention in the area of third-party devs simply based on the number of users? Or it doesn't matter? I would really love to get into modding and having some real nice functionality/wigets/look-and-feel on the device.
Well, sorry for being so verbose. I would appreciate any help on this. My other choice would be to get a Galaxy Nexus instead, but I'd hate to give up this huge screen.
Thanks in advance! Hope this is not totally off-topic. If it is, I'm sorry for that.
cellunlocker.net is what most have been using, if record ur process of unlocking ur phone and send it to them they refund ur money i myself couldn't record it so i paid but well worth it 25 bucks and its pretty quick just check ur spam folder in mail if ur using gmail mine was there within two hours

Thanks for the advice. Used the service, got the code in couple of hours and unlocked my phone! Happy as can be!
P.S. It cost me $7.99 to unlock Rogers Note.
So I bought a Galaxy S2 off eBay for my fiance, yet I have the I9100 version, so I was wondering if I would be able to install a new 4.0.4 system on the phone. I am currently downloading from sammobile:
Mode...............Country/Carrier...............Date....................Version.....................PDA..........................CSC
SCH-R830...............USA...............2012 November...............4.0.4...............R830VXALK1...............R830USCALK1
I want to know if I would be able to flash it and root it, or what would I need to do? Also it is CDMA or what ever you call it, meaning it takes no SIM, so how would I activate the SIM card myself, what is the name of the program? Or would it be easier and better to just buy an unlock code online and then bring it to the company to do it themselves? Any and all help would be much appreciated, I really want to get this to her ASAP as she has just changed over from iPhone to Android LOL thanks all ;D
Hey guys, I am DEFINITELY a newbie trying to learn more about android, flashing/jailbreaking/rooting, networking, software, hardware, ROMs, etc. I have really come a long way in a short time but I want to advance into the next "tier" of android info. I am an AT&T customer and I broke my phone, so I bought a Samsung Galaxy S9 (SM-G960U). However, it is locked to Sprint. I have contacted Sprint to unlock the phone, but because I don't know the previous owner, they won't unlock it. The phone has a good IMEI and I bought it from a Pawn Shop, so I don't know the previous owner. Is there anything I can do? Will it help to upgrade the firmware/change csc/APN? I'm probably butchering all of this but I really need some help. I got screwed on this phone and now I'm stuck with it. But regardless I still wanna know more about the world of android. Any feedback would really be appreciated, Thanks!
