Hi all,
I have purchased a samsung galaxy vibrant from a USA seller and I live in the UK. The phone will come with no sim. I want to be able to use it in the UK on the vodafone network.
Can anyone advise me please on how best to deal with this situation - I am android challenged so please be gentle. I have done some searches but didnt see any answer to this specific type question.
I am not sure if T-Mobile Samsung is sim locked but am assuming it is but maybe you guys n gals may be able to advise me more on this.
Thanks in advance
If its from a tmobile store it will be locked. Expansys and other online retailers are selling them unlocked meaning they're prob unlocking them prior. You would need the code. The codes are also stored on the phone in the nv_data.bin but you need root to access it that way. There's a market app to get the unlock code but that prob won't help you. Best way would be to root, copy the nv_data.bin to your pc and use the windows utility to get the code. Then the phone will prompt for the code with your sim inserted. Hopefully they already unlocked it. Search the forum for the unlock procedures, they are well documented.
Thanks for the reply I really appreciate your help on this. Person I bought it from has just contacted me to say that they got it from T-mobile themselves in a 2-1 promotion.
They said "I bought the phone from Tmobile without a sim card. The associate told me that you can unlock this one with an unlock code".
Sorry for such a noob question ... When I get the phone will it be able to be root the phone with no T-mobile phone sim card in it? Can it be rooted with any sim card or no sim card?
Thanks in advance.

Mostly, your provider is going to unlock it by request for free or for a small amount of money. Visit them and ask for unlocking it

Just got of the phone with VIP Serbia. They do not unlock any of their devices. (Asked specificaly for Smart tab 10.1 ZTE 11) It is their policy. So if you are going abroad never, NEVER buy anything from VIP. They will screw you for your own money!!!

Hi,
I gave my S3 (stock rom french carrier bouygues) to my son and order a new sim to a different carrier than the original one
Sim arrived and my son, try to install it
The problem is that he answer sim 4 digit code a lot of time when network unlock (carrier unlock) code was asked
My S3 has more than 6 month so I asked my provider to give me the unlock code...
They did but it doesn't work.
Call again.. they told me that carrier unlock code input is limited and if the unlock code doesn't work I had to send it to Samsung to unlock it.
I spent my week end to try all possible unlock process exposed on this xda amazing forum and didn't succeed with anyone
: Voodoo with and without Patch and busibox, GalaxSim Unlock, menu *#197328640# ...
Result ;
Voodoo & GalaxSim can't read SIM unlock statut
Code *#7465625# doesn't work
*#197328640# doesn't have the Unlock Phone menu ("Menu doesn't exist)
All those process has been done with new installs, wipe each time (makes me going mad!!!)
Is any one has a solution.
Thanks for you help
nb : hope my english is enough good to make my problem understandable...
No, with the new efs format all the previous unlock methods don't work. You'll need a service centre.

It was S3 MINI but also on xxemg4 baseband...
Might not be anything but did you upgrade to version 4.3 ?
If you did this might be the problem, I have an S4 that is locked to Bell and have tried multiple sites and Bell directly, all gave me the same unlock code.
When I tried to enter the code it kept saying unsuccessful
My guess is that along with the update Samsung locked some security feature for unlocking the phone
Right now my option is to sell the phone or wait until Samsung launches a new update

Hi all
looking to unlock my galaxy s3 which is rooted on a custom rom on firmware 4.3
i understand its very difficult to unlock this phone for free on 4.3 and it looks like a paid option may be my only choice.. however when using free applications to unlock my phone they all cant read the current sim lock status which is slightly worrying. (i used vodoo, galaxasim)
to confirm i checked by using another carrier sim into the phone and it did indeed ask for a sim unlock code, so im not sure why none of these applications can detect the sim lock status
so im looking to purchase an unlock code and i hope it will work! can anyone recommend any options for me or is a paid unlock code the only solution
Hey guys, i've tryed every sim unlock method i've seen, i also bought codes to unlock it, but none of them worked!

Im on o2 contract so i cant do **** :/

Hello,
Sadly, there isnt a free way of doing sim unlocks for this certain phone (again, sadly), the only thing you could do is wait for a 2-year contract to expire to get it unlocked by them OR buy an unlock code from a popular simunlock site (be aware - there are many sites that scam) :/
Best regards,
James
