[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zefie:
I didn't even bother to call considering the nightmares I've read on here. I ended up buying an unlock from this guy on eBay after reading a positive review here. The entire process took like 6 minutes from the time I sent the payment to being unlocked. He added the credit nearly instantly and the unlock process itself took less than a minute. He offers a free unlock for another device if you record a youtube video of yourself unlocking it but the process was so quick that I forgot to until I was done, lol.

Only drawback is he hasn't left me feedback on eBay yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
Would you please explain step by step and how did you unlock your device using this USB method ? Why it doesn't seem so legitimate ? Did it change or mess your IMEI , serial number or anything else ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
He didn't USB unlock, but rather purchased an unlock code

Oh my bad..so how much did he pay ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
Not to be rude, but did you even click the hyperlink??? Where it says "this guy on eBay" it is blue indicating a hyperlink. It brings you to the eBay page where it states $17 to unlock. It also says more than 10 available, so this could be a good opportunity for those looking to unlock especially since we have a member already vouching the service.

Hey tough guy hold your horses , the title in the Ebay link says unlock your skyrocket by USB ... I'm 15 years ahead from learning to use the internet....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
You got me there. I overlooked that last part on the eBay page.

I wasn't trying to be tough lol. He had a link and I simply misread it. I read over his post and it sounded like a code unlock. My mistake. Its $17 and although I wouldn't trust USB unlock we do have a user saying he used the service and was successful. Sorry

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droidbabyxda:
no, they can check the imei and see if the "owner" is already ouy of contract. i dunno what will happen if he cancelled without paying etf though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zefie:
It doesn't change your IMEI or serial. However, it does overwrite the unlock code with 00000000. I really wish I did make a video of the unlock process. As long as you follow the directions that are clearly stated in the app it will not harm your Skyrocket. Mine is fine :)

Layman's terms:

Follow directions to a T.

Run in demo mode by clicking Unlock with nothing in the white text box.

When successful, buy unlock credit, wait for a message from the seller confirming your credit is active, put your primary paypal email address in the white box, then click Unlock again..

Follow directions in the app to a T.

Done.

Extended details:

You will need your non-AT&T sim in the phone at the time, and run it while the prompt is on the phone's screen for the unlock code. It does all this while you are sitting at the 'enter network lock code' prompt on your phone.

You can test the process by downloading the app on the eBay page, and clicking unlock. It will run in 'demo mode', essentially testing if you followed the directions correctly and the program can access the device. If you did so correctly it will let you know, then you can just buy the unlock credit, and put your primary paypal email in the white text box and click 'Unlock' again.

Once this is done it will consume the credit you purchased, explain that your unlock code is 00000000 and give you instructions how to restore normal USB operation (taking it back out of 'modem mode'). When the app is done, as instructed, just enter 00000000 for the unlock code and you are all set.

Technical details from my point of view (speculation, may not be 100% accurate):

The program connects to your phone in 'Modem Mode', thus having both ADB and raw AT+CMD access to your phone's radio. It then downloads a small file that it executes on your phone to run the exploit, patching the unlock code with 00000000. The entire process takes about 5 seconds once you click unlock.

Final Thoughts:

I too was skeptical at first, but I seen this post stating it was successful and decided to try it. Was not disappointed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
Thanks for sharing man.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lnfound:
The original owner is still under contract/paying properly, I just happen to be the new owner. Nevertheless, will try online.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Prodeje79:
This is great,and it is reasonable compared too. I tried several times on my out of contract skyrocket without luck.

I am thinking of trying out Straight Talk once my free texting (and mobile to mobile calling) for 6 months plan is over with ATT.

Although I will see if they will give me another round of this perk.....

If unlocked, can you go back to ATT and your ATT sim without any issues?

Basically a non-att sim is just needed for unlocking purposes, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jssingh:
lol ... people need to be spoon fed. Anyway I got mine unlocked using this guy on ebay, paying less for it, but using the USB unlock. Was hesitant at first, then decided to go for it. Worked like a charm.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shangrila500:
I used the debugfs root tool to root my new GS3. After the root process I of course unlocked the bootloader, I came from a RAZR MAXX and couldn't do jack **** with it so I am very excited at the prospect of flashing roms, and after the boot process I notced that my phone would show I was connected to Verizon wireless and the it would all of a sudden say Searching for Service. I never experienced that before I rooted it so that makes me wonder if it was something to do with the root process. I was unsure so I rooted my girlfriends GS3 and the SAME EXACT thing happened. I then decided to back everything up, IMEI, etc., and flash some modems in Odin. I was on VRLG1 so i decided to flash VRLF2 and VRLEC and see if they stabilized the signal at all. VRLEC did stabilize it on my phone, not my girlfriends, but now Cell Standby uses a whole lot of battery, which I have found a fix for: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1732722. I just wanted to know mainly if this is a known issue with rooting and what I could do to fix it or if there was a way to pinpoint why this started happening after rooting.

Also, after I have used the EZ unlock app is it ok to uninstall it or do I have to leave it on the phone to keep the bootloader unlocked?

Thanks in advance guys and gals!!!! I am looking forward to playing with this bad boy!

What Is It?

Aroma App Package Creator is an application for those who flash new rom's often and want an easy way to create a flashable zip to reinstall apps. This utilizes Aroma Installer for more customization, allowing you to choose which apps to be installed instead of installing all of them. I made this tool for myself after seeing strawmetal's Flashaholic Essential Packs and wanted a way to produce the same results without editing multiple config files for each "pack" I make. I hope everyone else will find it useful as well :)​

How To Use: Click Steps For Screenshot

1) Download the aroma-app-package-creator.jnlp file and run by double clicking it

You must have Java 6 or higher for the application

You will have to accept a security warning. This is normal for all applications using Java Web Start

2) Click the + button under the Group Names list to create a new group

3) Add an app to a group by selecting the desired group, then click the + under the Apps list

5) Flash your zip like any other in recovery
​

Initial Release

Q&A

Q: How will updates be distributed?

A: Every time you run Aroma App Package Creator it checks the server for an update. If there is a new version it will be downloaded automatically.

Q: Everything seems to work, but when I reboot none of the apps have been installed. What's going on?

A: Try downloading a zip that utilizes Aroma Installer for your device (such as a rom or theme) and pull the update-binary-installer from it and put it into the zip created with the Aroma App Package Creator.

Q: The above didn't work...Now What?

A: Sign the zip and try again. You can find information on how to do so on google, or use this application: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/tool-to-auto-sign-multiple-apks-and-zips/

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ka24e:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gklDSVmGkMc

Crappy resolution, but here's how it works on an S3 :)

For the S3 you need to use the "Yes/alternate" method for the touch calibration... also the colors are totally off but it's still readable and usable. Just has a blue tint to it lol.

Or just use my values:

119490.00, 2030.00, -619140.00, -840.00, 116060.00, 228210.00, 117939.75, 20

This is on the Rogers I747M S3. (Should be the same for AT&T).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dbarrera:
Just wondering... The calibration makes the zip flashable only for the model being calibrated, right?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ka24e:
That's right. It's so the touch screen coordinates line up etc.

I kinda wish there was an option for text based only where it would just install all the APKs that you put in the zip. I don't need the fancy UI, I just want to flash the zip, have them installed and done.

This is only for apps atm.

About the touch issue, I think I remember reading somewhere about this happening on xperia devices. I have no control over that as it's a problem on the Aroma Installer side. You should still be able to use volume/power buttons to control (hopefully).

Re: [TOOL][1-3-13] Aroma App Package Creator v1.3

This app has been made to install to data/app and system/app, if you need to install to a different location you will need to manually edit the update script when it had been created, that's what I had to do.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] commandersafi:
+1 to this. If you need help, post the created scripts and I'll show what needs to be changed

I'm sorry about the lack of update, but I've been fighting with the application for a while (along with classes taking priority) with the whole linux issue. I would fix it on linux and break windows. Then fix windows and break linux back-and-forth and now it's not working with either lol. So I'll be rewriting the package builder from scratch with both systems in mind as soon as possible.

Also due to lack of time through semester, I'm considering just releasing the source so anyone can add/expand features as desired.

Re: [TOOL][1-3-13] Aroma App Package Creator v1.3

Linux issue? That would be the first time I've heard of a Linux issue instead of Windows issue. With theme chooser, in order to compile with theming for apps with caps in the name, you just comment out a couple lines in aapt, but no matter what, on Windows, it won't compile with apps with caps

Great tool

Thanks for the great tool. I flash my devices often and considering I own like 4 android phones and about 30 different tablets as well this comes in handy whenever I change ROMs. I will note one thing and that is that in the past I have just used "signapktic" and/or "zip signer" to just take zip files I put together of all of the apps I wanted to reflash and then flashed them in CWM or TWRP as you would other installs. That usually worked for me without issues, granted sometimes there were difficulties with certain apks but overall either way works. Not to downplay the tool you have provided us by any means, so dont take this like Im saying you should use my methods because the aroma method is seemingly better in some ways.

Thanks,
