Many thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tefnaht:
Found the unlock code but..

I have found the unlock code but none of the commands with

*#7465625#

#7465625*638*UNLOCK-CODE#

work for me. And i don't get a pop-up window for entering the unlock on my Galaxy Gio. When i put in the code and dial it just says "mobile network not available". It doesn't recognize *#7465625# either so i can check if my phone is locked or not. I have CyanogenMod 7.2.

Any ideeas?

Help me please!

Guys, i need your help very badly.

Tried the following instructions given here, was able to get the bml5 file (24mb) but i could not see my codes aside from 8 zeros. My Samsung GT-i5500m crashed, restarted it, sd card not being recognized right now although can be seen by my pc, and now my worst fear, the dreaded sim network unlock screen. Tried the 8 zeros, no go, i tried something that might look like my unlock code, no go. I have uploaded my bml5, can somebody please help me here, thanks in advance.

Can you also help me with my sd card, my pc can still recognize it, I tried using mini tool, was able to format it, set fat 32 partition but still can't be recognized.

Oh jeez, i guess I'm stuck with sim unlock window, no codes yet, can't use phone and sd card not working so I'm not gonna be able to do cyanogen modding.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stipipoy:
Solve! Unlock+flash

Nevermind, i fixed it.

Here's the solution that worked for me.

Description of issue:

First of all, my observation is that it seems like even after unlocking it with whatever way possible the sim network unlock for the gt-i5500m can be triggered by: doing factory reset, if the phone crashed and battery needs to be pulled out and put back again etc. The problem is that once the phone got sim network locked again, the sd card will not be recognized by the device, even if you format it via pc or use another working sd card it'll be the same. (i don't know if this only happens to the gt-i5500m, at least that's what happened to me)

I'm already losing hope, but i don't want to go back and pay for the same tech to have it unlocked and return to the same issue all over again and again and that's why i took a leap of faith to try and do the inevitable.

Solution:

1. I rooted my phone again using superoneclick v. 2.3.3.0

2. I downloaded next ODIN multi-downloader v. 4.28 and the EUROPA_I5508_v1.0 ops file.

3. I downloaded the I5500LAROJP2.tar (US).

4. Set my phone to usb debugging mode, connected to pc.

5. Opened ODIN, ticked one package, autoreboot and protect ops, set reset time (sec) to 30.

6. Selected the EUROPA_I5508_v1.0 ops file under ops option.

7. Selected I5500LAROJP2.tar under one package field.

8. Pressed the start button, waited for ODIN to finish, device restarted and eyahhoooo! Its now Froyo 2.2. (GT-I5500L)

I tried doing factory reset, tried battery pull, tried a different sim from a different network and no more dreaded sim network unlock for me. Nice new interface and addons for my new custom rom, wifi, fm radio, music player, everything's working fine now! Love the new move to sd option and the built in task manager. Hope this helps for all Samsung GT-I5500m users out there.

halfway there.

Hi, I've been using method two after failing with method one and so far, I

've obtained the bml5.img file and upon opening it with HEX editor, it appears to be completely blank.

There no random FFs or 00s .

If anyone could provide me any assistance from this point on, that would be greatly appreciated!

Please reply with simple terms yet thoroughly as I'm not very "tech-y" but I am very determined to unlock my samsung galaxy ace!

thanks in advance!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stipipoy:
You might want to post your bml5.img here as attachment so that we can take a look at it and hopefully find your unlock code.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rayaner:
I have the same problems as all the others have.

I extrated the bml5 files from /dev and /dev/block. Both are the same size and smaller than 10MB.

I can't find any workling number in these files. I hope anybody can help me.

I think my phone is not hardlocked, because if I change the sim card I get a window to enter the unlock code.

I have an S5360 and can't find the unlock code. For which hex should i search?

Is a unlock code always 8 digits ? Because if so i can write a program in vb and just search for 8 digits behind each other.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] eikons:
flawless. Did this on a GT-S5660 (Gio) that was locked to Vodafone NL.

One click root is incredibly easy and the adb method confused me a little at first (long time since I've used DOS at all) but it didn't take me longer than 5 minutes.

Yes, root is easy.

please help me find the unlock code in my file.

I unloaded the file in two different ways, then a few hours trying to find the code inside.

but nothing happens.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dagothe9:
worked perfetly

Brilliant it worked perfectly on the fist try.just, if i can suggest, put a screenshot of xv32 screen with where to read the code. i did not understand immediatly that i have to find it in the right side. Last thing i obtained the bml5.img file without any sim inside. so you can do it also this way.

Just for the record it was a galaxt gt-s5570 from h3g italy, with 2.3.4 no brand. so if anyone like me have to do this he knows.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] renehd2:
i keep getting Permission Denied with method 2

what can i do???

do i remove Sd card or what? please I need a fast Answer..!!

thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AlkaDragos:
1.Make sure you have granted root access to terminal and typed su.

2.Make sure you don't have your phone connected to PC or it's in use by any other software like Media Scanning.

3.Make sure you typed the right directory name! Check the first post and pay attention...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Myst0gaN:
Question

i wanna try method 2 but:

1. Do i need to install busybox???

2. I'm using Emanonv7 rom do i need to return to stock rom???

3. Is there a chance that my phone will brick????

Galaxy mini:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dagothe9:
1)No busybox should ve optional. But I suggest to install superuser with busybox.

2)You can retrieve the file with any Rom, but not all roms provide the screen where the code is asked. For example CyanogenMod 7.2.0 do not ask it. Does the phone ask for the code when you boot it with a different sim on emanon? If yes it will work.

3)If you provide a wrong unlock code the phone could go to a freeze state. I don't know if or how you unfreeze it but for me it worked perfectly.

Ps: if emanon do not ask for code then I suggest this operation: flash Clockwork mod recovery and do a nandroid backup of your system. Then do a factory reset. Then flash a stock firmware with Odin,I suggest your latest branded firmware. Get root and busybox. Follow the instruction and unlock the phone. Flash back the exact same clockwork mod recovery. Do a full wipe. Restore your nandroid backup. Enjoy your unlocked phone.

Hit thanks if I helped you ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Myst0gaN:
Thanks.. But I think i found another method:

Root phone with root explorer

Copy the bml5 from dev/block paste it to sdcard...

I'll try if i find unlock code with this method..

Btw if my phone freeze does this mean its brick???
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cKy:
This is a quick and easy method. 15 mins max. Awesome. I bricked my S2 so needed this Ace unlocked for a backup - Fantastic guide, thanks a ton.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Myst0gaN:
I used the method 2 but it says permission denied even my phone isnt connected to pc

:confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dagothe9:
try to format your sdcard or verify that it is mounted!

anyway i have done for research for you, and with this i mean i have done something you should have done! Anyway here it is what i found:

emanonv7 is provided with root acces and busybox preinstalled! so method 2 if followed it should work!

emanon is stock based so it should ask for the code when you boot with a sim of a different operator!

Freeze do not means bricked or i would have said bricked! it can be defrosted. But until now the system has worked fine and sound.

Anyway like everyone here i'm not responsible for any damage you provide to your phone.

anyway the major things i told you are already explained in the tutorial at the beginning of the thread. be sure toread everything one time before start tany procedure and then follow E V E R Y T H I N G to the letter from the tutorial!

Thanks Alot!!!

I would like to ad that if you find two 8 digit codes:

I found that my GIO was provider locked and also partially locked cuz in sweden we have many providers using the same networks

I.E. Tele2 owns its network and their daguhter company Comviq uses the same network and locks their phones to their part of the network

The first code in my BML5 is the provider lock

And the second code is the part lock within the same network

My GIO was locked to "Comviq" so i acctually had to put one sim from "Tele2" in to enter the part unlock code

and then i had to put in a different sim from another provider "Telia-Sonera" to get to enter the provider unlock code.

and please from now on keep the thread clean from off topic questions that can be easy asked somewhere more appropriate!

Trying this on a Virgin/Bell GT-S6550m

I used method 2 and it seems to work where it now accepts a sim card from another network. However the network locks turns back on after a reset of the phone. Has anyone else run into this? Even when I pop in my sim card that should work now that it's supposed to be unlocked, it tells me I'm roaming on my own cell network.

Got this phone through work but it's SIM unlocked, instead of having to wait 2 weeks for them to replace it, I have tried to unlock it myself.

Long story short, I was able to root it with ease, put in the commands and what not, but I can't for the life of me find the unlock code. Can anyone lend a hand? It would very much be appreciated.

Hi all, I did my best to follow this tutorial for an S5570 locked to UK TESCO. I flashed a custom rom only to realise I need a stock rom.

So I put a 2.3.4 stock rom 's5570XXKPK' on, with standard bootloader.

I successfully copied the attached BML5 file and could see TWO eight digit codes ( 02631539 & 79353153 ).

However , when ( even with a Tesco sim installed ) and I type code #7465625*638*XXXXXXXX# ( using both above codes in place of XXXXXXXX ), I get message "USSD Code running" followed by " Connection problem or invalid MMI code"

Can someone please verify I've done this correctly or even study my enclosed bml5.img ?

Many thanks :)

I really don't understand how to insert the code.
