[Samsung Captivate Glide] lost_:
Just thought I'd share my experience: was able to unlock 4 Captivate Glides with codes I bought from eBay seller leandro_max. Got them for only $6 each (through best offer).

Previously, I tried unlockitnow, who didn't have the code and instead sent those cheap universal SIM unlock; still trying to get a refund - avoid them. Also tried cellunlocker but they refunded as soon as they realized they didn't have it.

FWIW, deleting nv_data files in /efs did not work for me. There were only two nv files and after deleting and rebooting, even with factory reset, the files were always restored with the original IMEI.

EDIT: all phones were AT&T.

EDIT 2: American Unlocker is having a sale on eBay for $5.58, and he accepted my offer of $5. Got the code 30 minutes after payment (during lunchtime here in US EST)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Alex2221:
AmericanUnlocker.com had a unlock code that worked fine for me.

The code was sent within 24 hours and the support is quite friendly and nice.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Evil Alex:
I can second that, americanunlocker is good. I have the Roger's version, and they didn't have that option when I went to their site. So I e-mailed them about that. Just a few hours later I got a reply they also did the Roger's version and that they had added it to the site. And so I went back, and got the working code within a few hours. :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] rimwrecker:
Americanunlocker worked for me ...

I can tell that americanunlocker did a very good job with the unlocking code for my Glide. What is very mysterious here is that I bought my Glide unlocked on eBay, then I had to travel abroad and used a SIM Card with a compatible network but after a few days it was asking for the code again, so I went to americanunlocker and after a few hours they had the code ready. Worked fine for me ...

any ideas why this could happen?

Regards!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] kharnie:
I had something similar to this; bought an unlocked phone from eBay which relocked after I flashed to the OsiMood ROM. An unlock code solved the problem and, despite many reflashing later, still haven't come across it. I think it's going to be down to whatever alternative method (i.e. not using an unlocking code) these sellers are using to unlock these phones before listing them on eBay as "unlocked".
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Cool thanx for linking the info I checked out the Auction and find it interesting that he says that he will snail mail the code and not email it. Any info on if he supports Rogers or only AT&T?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lost_:
The snail mailing thing is just to comply with eBay rules. He emailed my codes reasonably quickly after payment. Not sure if he has Rogers codes, but here are listings from other sellers who do.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Nikolas0418:
i also used AmericanUnlocker.com to unlock mine and it works perfectly :)

American Unlocker is having a sale on eBay for $5.58, and he accepted my offer of $5. Got the code 30 minutes after payment (during lunchtime here in US EST).
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Ok I bit the bullet as well. I paid him 5$ with an Ebay best offer and unlocked my phone from Rogers. Borrowed a friends's Sim that is on Telus and I got prompted for the code I entered it and presto Unlocked. Funny thing is I am happy to stay with Rogers but just wanted to unlock phone should I ever travel and may wish to get a local sim.

ON another Note just wanted to mention I tried to unlock my phone with a Fido Sim but It never prompted me for the unlock code and my phone was able to make calls with the Fido Sim even though I was Rogers locked. Guess this proves that Rogers and Fido are the same company.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] taiber2000:
does you got the unlock code in snail mail or email?

glad to hear that it works with a rogers phone cos i'm thinking of geting the rogers version instead of the at&t one.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
got it by email took about 1 day. I emailed him prior to see if he was able to do Rogers. He said yes and I did the 5$ best offer. I sent him an email with my imei# once I won the auction and then I got my email from him with my unlock code in 24 hours.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] taiber2000:
oh thats good to hear.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Lookin4Trouble:
Much to my chagrin, I'm still on the worst service in my area - AT&T - locked in to them until 29-October. However, I did call before my overseas trip and got a working unlock code in about 3 minutes. I guess it helps I've never been late on a bill and have been with them since the Cingular days :\ I let them know I was going overseas and would be picking up a local-working SIM for the couple weeks I'd be there, they had no problem.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikehud1984:
My tab seems to literally only want to do one thing at a time pretty much. For it being a quad core it seems a bit ridiculous for it to freeze up and start throwing the wait or close crap anytime an app or the market is downloading something. Another thing is with the dock, I've noticed it seems that the touch pad is really slow and laggy after waking the tab from sleep. It is fine again after a reboot but once it goes to sleep you wake it up and the problem is back, what's strange is its only slow while on the home screen inside apps it works as normal. Another thing with the dock is it appears that it stops charging the tab after the screen is turned off as in the light on the power button goes out but turns back on and continues to charge if you wake it back up. I do not have it unlocked but it is rooted and EZoverclock is installed running it at 1ghz,1.3ghz and 1.5ghz. Still has the stock rom .29. Also it was doing these things before root and OC. Just curious if anyone else is experiencing these symptoms. Thanks for reading.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WIIstpM:
I never had these problems... It may be the method you rooted it. Try sparkyroot.. I remeber my motorola defy was completely unusable after rooting with an app.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WOEHAA:
I find my Desire S better capable of downloading webpages in the background while browsing another than the TF300T does.

My TF300T is still unrooted.

I just believe that the quadcore is not put to good use (read: the software is not optimised for it). It feels almost like that hyperthreading hype from Intel many years ago. That design was a complete bust, but they only would admit that when the real multi core processors arrived.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boriss30:
I have the same problem. Just have to do one thing or it is laggy. Just shame for quade to be that slow! I also dont have root.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rnagam1:
Same problem with my TF300T

When I am downloading something in the background and try opening another app or browse something, I end up with the Wait messages and my tab almost freezes. I was really surprised that a quad core tablet has such poor performance.

My Samsung Galaxy S2 does a better job of downloading stuff in the background.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikehud1984:
Yeah my GS2 from att screams I love my phone. What's weird is I actually had the prime but had to return it due to too many defects but it never had any problems multitasking at all. You could have ten downloads running while playing a game without any lag it was a huge difference. I guess ASUS like many other companies have just not got the quality products they used too. Its to bad really. These tablets had a lot of potential. Maybe I should have gotten the Toshiba excite with the tegra instead its only $50 difference. Or perhaps this tab will get fixed in the future? Maybe we should bug the hell out of them until they fix it this is such BS to be misled like this. A quadcore should perform as such and be able to "MULTI" task with its "MULTI" Core CPU.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikehud1984:
I did use the sparkyroot method and as my op says it has been like this since taken out of the box before it was rooted. I actually rooted it to remove some of the bloatware and OC it to see if it could perform better. My HP Touchpad with Cyanogen performed better than this paper weight.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ian1:
The reason for the lag when downloading is because the tegra 3 only had single channel memory. This means all the apps being downloaded fill up the channel even though there are 4 cores. Its really a shame cuz the iPad has quad channel memory and most other chips have dual channel memory. Plus having more cores means more memory consumption.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxwilliams40:
I'm having the same problem. I had 21 apps waiting to be updated and the table was completely useless during this period. My a500 performed much better and I sold it to get this device. Looking for an optimized stock rom, but it looks like I will be returning this to amazon. I expected so much more from the tegra 3. Will wait on a better device.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaf:
What are your download speeds?

I connected my tab today to a 25mbs down/up wifi, and I opened MC3 to download the game content. I noticed that I would freeze the download from time to time, sometimes holding there for about 10 secs. I think the main problem here is the speed at which the tablet can write on disk, I have never had any problems with download freezes or lags before on my lousy 3mbs connection at home.

The files were downloading so fast that the tab didn't have time to correctly write them and had to pause the download. This is just a hypothesis, I didn't get the chance to try again. Anyone that has access to a high speed internet connection and a slow speed connection could try this and verify it. Maybe download a torrent and throttle down your down speed to see if you still get the same lags and freezes as you would on your normal speed.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaf:
Here's a picture of a cf bench I did on my tab you can see that the write speed is at 511, it seems slow ppl using the prime have reported 800+ speeds

Also check out this post and this other thread

EDIT:

More pics added of bench test using androbench
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skr_xd:
I use to download youtube videos with Tubemate. When there were multiple downloads, my tab slowed down like anything. I just popped in a 32gb card and chaged the download folder to sd card. Now, with 5 downloads also, no problem with slowing down. The internal memory's RW speed seems to be less i think.

[HTC Incredible S] zhangyu625:
you need to install the htc sync driver correctly.

it means that ,after the htc driver has been installed,your pc should verify your phone as android device.

im S-OFF and revolutionary hboot

can you guys please help me?? :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Your phone must be S-OFF with Revolutionary HBOOT 6.13.1000 and the ROM must be rooted.

It is apparent from all of the Access denied errors in the script that your are not rooted.
[HTC Incredible S] zndreti22:
as i said before...

im using win7-x64... does it matter??

thanks :fingers-crossed:
[HTC Incredible S] naathaanb96:
I done it on win7 x64
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
OK, so you have Revolutionary S-OFF, but you didn't see that last part of the post.

You also need to have a fully rooted ROM.

Then screen shots you posted showing the BlackRose installation errors is full of

Access Denied errors

which indicates that you do not have a rooted ROM.

It has nothing to do with the fact that you are running Windows 7 X64.

I have got the same problem, and it solved by flashing the real root Rom and install BlackRose after that.
[HTC Incredible S] zndreti22:
new question...

OK, you were right... thanks a lot...:good:

I've done this and everything went well, i finally got Blackrose...

Now im asking me ¿how to install a rooted ROM? or a custom ROM... i want to install the "Android Revolution HD"

Can i do that with my current configuration??? in resume:

Blackrose hboot 2.02.0002

S-OFF'ed

Recovery CWM 5.0.2.0

maybe i should move my dead body to another section of the forum... i really appreciate your help guys...:highfive:
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
You would download the custom ROM and put it on your SD card. Then you boot your phone into Recovery and use the recovery selection "Install a zip file from sd card". It will ask you to pick the zip file and then it should install.

Please be sure to read the opening post of any custom ROM for any additional instructions or recovery commands you should run for the installation process.
[HTC Incredible S] zndreti22:
Done

thanks guys, specially tpbklake....

i am ready to use my Inc S :D
[HTC Incredible S] sparkstruck:
blackrose installed

chinu, i will share to you what i did. pls dont blame me if something wrong happen to ur phone.

assuming ,all drivers needed already installed on your computer. im using windows seven ultimate.

assuming your incredible s was already S-OFF and you already installed recovery like CWM or 4ext.im using CWM recovery.

to install blackrose (hboot 2.02) , u need to flash modded rom, like cyanogen,mui etc. im using cyanogen 7.2.

after the modded rom is installed and working normally,connect your phone to computer via usb, then its time to flash the blackrose hboot 2.02.

thats all. hope i did to help you. thanks

You dont navigate the CMD prompt to the right place ... or you dont have installed android drivers.

Ive just rooted my one x. When i downloaded CWM my file was not called recovery.img. Are you sure youve downloaded the correct file. I had to type: fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img

Re-download it from: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img

Stick that file in your fastboot folder and try again.
[HTC One X] wintermute000:
you obviously have the drivers installed as you unlocked the bootloader, so if the command is not working for you and you're typing recovery.img, is your .img file ACTUALLY CALLED 'recovery.img' you need to type the exact filename

from your screenshot you are typing literally 'recovery.img' yet I BET YOU THE FILE YOU DOWNLOADED IS NOT NAMED RECOVERY.IMG

OT: We really need a basic technical literacy test for people to pass before they flash lol

99% of these issues are fundamental errors like not even having the android usb driver installed, typing in the wrong .img name (because they copied and pasted a command without understanding what its really doing), not having the .img file in the same folder, rushing and doing fastboot flash boot recovery.img or something similar.
[HTC One X] ckpv5:
Also I wonder why the size of that recovery.img is 5797 KB when the right recovery is 5760 KB.

So I suggest to download again the recovery, maybe use the one from RichardTrip : http://xda.richardtrip.org/HTC/reco...kwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru_fixedadbusb.img

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
For the last few months I was all hyped up for the S3, followed all the news/announcements etc. I justified the few weaknesses the phone has by the fact that there is nothing else better on the market and probably won’t be for a while.

I was ready to buy as soon as it landed in the UK. Now I can’t get the colour I want (blue) probably for weeks. And Samsung have gone and announced other markets will be getting 2GB of RAM.

Now I’m not so sure about entering into a 2yr contract for a phone that has ALREADY been superceded. Yes, I know the S4 chip isn’t as good as the Exynos, but realistically am I going to notice a slightly better chip, or twice as much RAM on a day to day basis. We all know the answer to that, it’s the same for any computer.

Other manufacturers are going to want to best the SGS3, and even Samsung itself will likely announce a Note with a better chip and 2GB of RAM later this year.

So why should I buy the S3 now, with only 1GB, which many smartphones have had for over a year? Is this phone realistically going to last me the duration of a 2yr contract? My last phone has only just scraped it’s way to 18mths, and I’ve wanted to replace for a while now since the performance is no longer acceptable – despite all the ROM flashing and tweaks to squeeze every last drop out of it.

Please discuss. Convince me.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goku80:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
Yeah, but the Note and the Nexus will be perfect! SAMOLED Plus screens and 2GB RAM is all I want on top of the SGS3....
