[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] andronald:
The patch that Ivdoan made will only work with his own IMEI. I would suggest finding one of those people who work at mall phone booths, who can unlock your phone from 10-20 bucks. I wouldn't go any higher than 25 for an unlock.

I've been sifting through the bootfiles for this phone, the mmcblk0p3 file has "some" of the stuff you are looking for - but not all of it.

In a terminal emulator (wIth a rooted phone) type (without quotes):

"su" then on the next line

"strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3"

This will show you a whole bunch of stuff (including some sim card stuff).

Besides that, I cant find the UN_lockcode, used with my IMEI to generate a "unlock code"

However, if you install holo launcher (free), you can add activites to a home screen. Some of these activites include the infamous Hidden Menu, preconfig, factory test, and, of cource, personalize apks. In preconfig, it clearly states that my factory package is TLS (telus). It also had stuff for VMC (virgin), and other carriers. Dont try installing them, all it does is reset your phone (delete all user data). Your root is still there (if you have one).

If you can find the location of the UN_Lockcode on your 730m, please share it with us!

So the answer is: No, no easy unlock method untill we find the UN_Lockcode.

I am on to something right now. I will let you know how it goes.

Re: How to Root the Samsung Galaxy Discover + Clockwork Mod Recovery Mode

From the original thread:

I would PM him about it. He seems to know what he's talking about.

I have used apps that help change the minimum cpu frequency, but not overclocking. If I knew it could be done (and is safe), I would give you an answer.

The best place to start is to find out what CPU the phone "actually" has, so you can get a better idea about how to (or if you even can) overclock the cpu.

I found a card. Im making a back-up of my "modified" ROM. There should be no user data on it. There are some system apps that I added, which includes SuperUser, Night mode, and Vibrafix. Bisybox binaries are pre installed, and it is rooted.

Put this backup (.zip) on your micro sd card, and use the backup and restore/restore from backup.

I hope it works, I am including it in a future post, and on my thread.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fjcotter:
I understand the method to unlock via USB cable is to connect the phone via internet to the vendor's software and the unlock and unfreeze codes will be displayed. I wonder whether the unlock code is directly available in the search or whether a "code" is seached together with IMEI to generate the final unlock code? It appears that some members pointed out in the forum that IMEI combined with a decoding procedure is required.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] andronald:
The UN_Lockcode and the IMEI combined create the Network unlock code.

Too bad it's for an SGH-S730M and not the S730G like I have. I suppose it might work, but then, while I was working on upgrading my fiancée's old Samsung Gem to 2.2.2 from its original 2.1, I discovered that there are a lot of people who bricked their Verizon Samsung Gem phones by installing an OS update that was for US Cellular, and I had to work very hard to find the correct update, so I'm very wary about updates and upgrades being for the right phone.

SGH-730G Users

I will soon start a thread specific to the Tracfone version of the Galaxy Discover (730G). I have mine rooted, triangle away, and have played with some fun Android toys to go with it. Currently I am working on deodexing, zipaligning, and debloating the stock firmware. Later on, there may be a custom ICS rom (based on the stock firmware) but that will be a little bit.

Question before I start this thread, does anyone have the stock firmware that shipped with this phone? Before I post a guide to root, I would like to have a version of the factory firmware to be flashed through ODIN in case someone gets stuck and needs to recover.

Here is a new thread I started about the SGH-730G (Tracfone, Net10, Straight Talk) variant of the Galaxy Discover. I created this to avoid confusion due to the differences between the 730G and the 730M. The post includes a root method, and soft brick recovery (with Odin flashable coming soon) and will also serve as a point to discuss development that is in the works, and anything else related to the device unless they create a new device section (which I highly doubt will happen). http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47417608#post47417608

Also I have been tryn to use may sources in the internet to get it unlocked but none have worked for me.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] x1745:
well guys I gave up on unlock myself, I got it hard bricked one of my phone. Now I bought another one same model cheap at Walmart $68.

today I found the guy doing remote USB then he connected to your machine, unlock in 5-10 minutes that all it took. for $8.99 USB pay pal done.

No more worry about brick. This phone security code is hidden in the firmware so is hard for us to figure out where/how to search for Unlock code.

He has to run USB redirector shared from the phone and he hooked up the motherboard and run code extractor .

you have to share desktop with him via Teamviewer you can see all when he setup your system to get it setup ready.

he has to enable USB debug on your phone with dial *#9090#

If you are interested just let me know.

Good luck of searching for code. too many sleepless night for me searching for solution.

It would be nice if you know how to do it.

I love to share with you guy if I know how to do it.

For the root and unroot the phone I used Unlockroot for both three phones and all rooted.

The problem here is after you rooted the phone and have full access to all folders and files.

But where do you look for this Unlock code.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TheGeekyNimrod:
I don't think anyone has had mucj success with cracking the unlock yet. I don't trust anyone to do things remotely. Too many chances for.hijacking or backdoor keyloggers.

That's why you run it in a virtual machine.

They try to remote connect to troubleshoot. They're expecting an XP install any they freak out when confronted by a Linux console.
