Hi, direct file patching worked for me only on ICS but it didn't work on Jelly bean 4.1.2 custom ROM.

i hope the new update will support Jelly bean.

I have tried out Herolz galaxy s unlock, chainfire galaxy s2 unocker and now that code generator but i have wrong GPU so i tried patcher and it doesn't work either. Im just gonna wait for new code generator as AdamLange said there will be new tool coming out soon :D

or some1 have other ideas ?

network : Orange - Poland

IMIE working fine, nv_data backed up

im not sure about my H/W

I have used #2222# code and it shows me 1.5 but when i used "GalaxSim unlocker APP" from google play and went to "devce details" tab it shows me Device H/W MP 1.4

which one is correct :) ?
[Galaxy S III General] spocky12:
I would say Samsung is correct, but gsu reads this information from nv_data, which is also generated by Samsung framework. So I'd say either Samsung or Samsung it's incorrect :p

Hi, there´s any chance to post a tutorial step by step how to use this Sim Unlock Code Generator Please.?

Thank You :good:
[Galaxy S III General] Lemondog91:
Plug your phone to PC then go to my computer -> go to your phone in search box type "nv_data.bin"

copy that file to your desktop or any folder you want.

Open SamsungUnlocker then click "open" search for that nv_data file you just copied.

Select your phone model from list and click generate unlock code.
[Galaxy S III General] djdarkknight96:
Think this will work on the Note 2? I know it's not on your list but just wanted to ask.
[Galaxy S III General] :
If i root my S3 get the nv data bin file, get unlock code. Unlock my sim and unroot again. Will the sim lock again?
[Galaxy S III General] Lemondog91:
i found that

_____

SIM-unlocking a phone has nothing to do with setting or disabling a SIM PIN—it's something you do to the phone, not the card. So it isn't unreasonable to wonder whether rooting will interfere with SIM lock/unlock state.

That said, SIM lock/unlock state is completely separate from the phone's operating system (except that you must be running a stock Motorola firmware to SIM-unlock the phone). Once it's unlocked, it stays unlocked; rooting, unrooting, flashing different ROMs, etc. will not re-enable the SIM lock.

Code generator WILL NOT WORK IF YOUR CUDA or ATI EQUIVELANT DRIVERS ARE NOT INSTALLED! STOP COMPLAINING , USE BRAIN :)

1.5 is comming this week, much simpler to use :) and much more powerfull :D
[Galaxy S III General] AdamLange:
- 1.5 Comming Soon

* Auto unlocking, and auto device detection, just click and run

* Support most of samsung exynos powered devices from almost all regions.

* Code generation removed by default as its mainly work ONLY for older devices (I9000 and I9100 pre H/W 1.4 version)

Stay tuned, it should be released this week :)

For users that got issue with code generator:

Only supported ATI cards are: HD RV7X0 and RV830/870. Which means -- 4550, 4670, 4830, 4730, 4770, 4850, 4870, 4890, 5750, 5770, 5850, 5870, 5970.

Catalyst 9.9+ must be installed. Catalyst 10.2/10.3 recommended.

Catalysts 10.4-10.6 and 5970 are incompatible.

Catalyst 10.7 not heavily tested but looks like working.

Only supported nVidia cards are: the ones with CUDA support, i.e. G80+.

Systems with multiple GPUs supported.

Need to redo the process time and again

Hi,

I patched my Samsung Galaxy S2 with the modified file and it works fine but for a max 2-3 hours. After that i have to redo all the steps again (Remove original nv_daya, md5, .nv_data_bak and .nv_data_md5 and paste the modified nv_data.bin file). Also when i power off and power on then it again asks for SIM Network Unlock code. Could you please help me and it is annoying to keep on patching and restarting.

a simple question

hi all...

I try to use the tool, but i have the message:

No Supported VIDEO card found!.

Please wait for CPU only version of this application.

Would you like to patch the file directly and remove simlock without code?

Yes No

and my question is...

Where's the CPU version? Have one? It was at development?

Thank's a lot.

PS: Sorry for my English...

You have been a member for a tremendous amount of time and you know how the site works. With that being said, you also know that we do not allow "services paid for upfront". Meaning that you cannot require $ before services are rendered. That would make this job and we certainly don't want that.

Per your OP, "

Due to high amount of private questions / helps in unlocking, this app is from now a Donationware, only donators will get new version when available.

Thank you,

In preparation for the official release, i used ODIN to apply the latest GB update.

once I was on the latest GB update I then used the Software update option in the device and downloaded a 20 MB file that also went flawless.

I am now on 2.3.6 official AT&T build from OTA.

i downloaded the latest KIES software and it says "Your device does not support software upgrading.

why is this? I am aware ICS isn't out yet but it still shouldn't be saying im not supported.

there is no reason why it should not work in KIES.

then flash this from Sammobile.com by odin

Edit: It is also recommended that you format data/return to default using the stock recovery after you flash 2.3.5 to clear any remaining files but I personally don't see the purpose, other just claim it helped solve data/reboot issues. Do this by restarting/booting up holding Volume Up & Down WITHOUT being plugged into the PC.

Edit 2: Cleaned up and added missing steps.

I've tried several different links to 2.3.5 stock roms and flashed them. Kies would then say I was on the most current firmware. After I took the OTA update to 2.3.6, Kies says, "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies." :eek: It HAS to be a Kies glitch.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
Yes.. why wouldn't it be?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pruhster:
Well it's certainly safe. Whether it's the best thing for the battery - I'm not sure and you'll find some conflicting opinions. From what I know you shouldn't let your battery get too low or have it at 100% all the time, so I guess if you're running low on battery you can plug it in while using the phone, then unplug as soon as it's charged.
[Motorola Droid X2] drant22:
I've seen on a few scattered threads about some people having let the battery die during recovery and having to get the external battery charger or try the option that I am trying.

I am wondering if anyone has actually stripped a usb cable, and taped the positive and negative ends to the batteries + and - ends and allowed the battery to charge that way so you could RSD without getting the "Battery is too low for RSD" message? Some threads aren't specific about how long to keep it on for a decent charge or even if it worked so I just thought I would ask, I believe I gave it enough charge to start up, but I wasn't sure how long I should leave it on there.

Thanks in advance!
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
All I know is you can fry your phone and battery like that

Could try a verizon store, ask them to charge battery for you
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
Yeah, I've heard of people charging using a stripped cable frying their battery after only a minute or two. There's no way of telling when it's done that way. I agree. Try charging it in another X2 or a Droid X....Same battery. I have used my dads original X to charge this thing. Worst comes to worst go to a verizion store and see if they will help you out...

On another note, I thought the phone still charged when in custom recovery?
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
it's suppose to, as it's a charging screen hack
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
You should definitely get a external battery charger, 3-5$ on ebay and you never have a problem again

Verizon said no ICS for me, dkz disagreed. Cm9a4
[Motorola Droid X2] RNZart:
so it means when we leave the x2 plugged in at the recovery screen, it actually still charging as it is the same as the battery charging screen..do i get it right?

I'm running Eclipse 2.2.1 and it always enter BSR even when I plugged it in at OFF condition..

sorry don't mean to shift the OP's topic to another course :)
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
when phone is off or recovery is in charge mode

because you have two options in system recovery app

recovery mode and charge mode

I haven't verified that, but it is suppose to

never left it, in cwm recovery, long enough to tell
