Wow it appears I somehow double posted earlier and had extra info in the second post, oops...

Yeah according to the thread I linked to bml4 appears to be just the boot loader so if you just copy that file to off your phone and upload it that would be great.

I'm not entirely certain. Sbl.bin might be stored elsewhere or perhaps it queries a setting somewhere that enables/disables download mode. It's definitely worth a try though.

...

Actually I was just looking on my phone and it appears even simple commands like "cp" are missing so you may struggle to both copy and replace the file. I really need to grab the source code for a bunch of basic UNIX commands and compile them all for the different Galaxy S kernels.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Croak:
You need Busybox installed (market downloadable) to give you access to many Linux commands in terminal/shell mode.

Unlock sims

Hi ,

my bell galaxy s can send calls with a i-smartsim 2008 but not receive (goes directly to voicemail). When i look in phone info everything seems ok, it even states network as fido.

Anyway i ordered different brands to test.

I'll keep you guys posted.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
yes, i read that, it was quite helpful.

I'll do some file replacement after i can do a proper full Dump of the stock firmware, just in case.

also not having access to the 3 button recovery mode, it's a bit risky, in case it fails and doesn't boot back into the OS
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
that's for the update, i recall leegoon84 also mentioned something like that, that he will miss some calls.

i actually have a fair idea why that is happening, but it's not that big of a deal for me, as i use the phone more for data than voice

if you miss the voice, i always get alerted via SMS by Fido that i missed the call, and i get the number and all.

I usually filter my calls that way, i put my phone in ignore mode and let everything go to voice mail :D

Ok, I have the /03 version and can get into both the recovery volup and the download mode with voldwn
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] qtizzle:
I have the /03 as well. In settings status it says it refers to the "imei sv".

When you are trying to get into the recovery mode, can you get into it easily or do you have to get the timing right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Beast11:
So wait, the /03 imei doesnt let you in dl mode or recovery mode? Maybe you guys are timing it wrong? Should i be looking for a non- /03 imei wen i get mine or does it matter???
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
that is the UK version, read the small prints
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
yes bell version has them both disable, no easy way to get into it, except using Android SDK, ROM Manager app, Quick Reboot app, or other similar tools.

that means if you flash in the wrong ROM (bricked) then you'll have to send the phone back to Samsung to have it repaired.

however we are trying to find a way to re-enable those options, as it is quite obvious they disabled it to prevent people from Flashing it

I feel awkward saying this but how do i do an image dump :-(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BA_Flash_GOD:
rhcp0112345:

Guys.

If you cannot wait. I found an easier way for me to get the codes for you. And the file is 10MB. and if you zip prob smaller as hell.

Code:

adb shell

cd /dev/block

# dd if=/dev/block/bml3 of=/sdcard/bml3.bak

copy to computer / upload

Send me $35 USD to service@mrcellphoneunlocker.com
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NotBillable:
If the phone has not been rooted can it still be unlocked?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] leegoon84:
from what?

terminal?

adb?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BA_Flash_GOD:
That i'm assuming so because you have to give root access for terminal to do some of those commands bro.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rhcp011235:
Guys.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BA_Flash_GOD:
Terminal on your actual cellphone that's what I used, I just the terminal emulator (first at the top) on marketplace.. you're backing up the bml0!c file to your SDcard that's the file he's cracked.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rhcp011235:
Do what i said above if you cannot wait. Its only 10M file :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] silubia:
SWEEEEET~~

It seems to be real one.

I am gonna get one tomorrow.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Idan73:
few questions though. first it was said one dump per phone model and now seems we all have to make dump? which one is it. or does he only need imei and $35 us = $40 cad (first advertised as $26 us LOL before long it will be $70) bucks (iono if the bounty qualifies for comercial sollution).

really need to clarify the full request procedure in one post.

second question. do we get the codes back so that it is permanently unlocked or the patched file which would mean possibly getting stuck with one unlocked rom and the rest >>>
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Croak:
bml3.bak compresses down to 65kb with 7zip max compression.

Payment sent, file link included.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rhcp011235:
the code is 100% NEVER reversable. You enter it on the android screen when it asks.

The bounty was $70 I never got it yet.

And, its $35 per for here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] decepticon:
I just saw the new process after taking over an hour to upload the original dump. Going to go back and do the new dump and upload it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ledhed:
You seem to be a God among men right now my friend! Thank you kindly!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
We are waiting for your App to buy ASAP.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rhcp011235:
Donations to the above paypal is welcomed to make the app faster. Those who need the code and dont understand please donate so i can pay my dev.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hondaguy:
I am going to buy one tomorrow so can you please confirm the procedure?

I am assuming I need to root my phone?

I send you $35 usd and my imei and you send me an app that will sim unlock my phone?

anything else?

how long would it take for you to send me the app once I send you the money?

Thanks and good job
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] leegoon84:
I'm having trouble dumping bml3.bak.

in terminal it says

dd: can't open ;.sdcard/bml3.bak' read only file
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zapp02:
I'm an idiot with this stuff, but i'm tired of being screwed over by bell and others. If this is legit. i'm in. i'm in!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BA_Flash_GOD:
I don't mind the charge, that's chump change! Bell S users will agree, $75 for an unlock code to bell is the last thing on your mind hah. He doesn't need the bounty i'm sure thousands will use this overtime when it's actually released. Meaning he will make huge amounts in very little time. As you can see he says 'if you cannot wait, send your info" etc etc, meaning there will be an application or what not when it's complete. That is what I gathered from his previous info here.

on another note, although i've not flashed it yet that's next on my list, once unlocked though it's unlocked, ask any cellphone provider. it's 100% permanent flash away.

here is clarification to what you may receive (how I got mine) I'm x'ing out some numbers for security and so no idiot tries to use it as it is hardware specific.(IE one per device)

==================================================================

Me:

Yo bro you get my message?

I sent the hotfile info and link to the file at 10:44pm

When you say a free unlock code do you mean the software or actual unlock code hah? I just saw that.

rhcp0112345:

I got it. You will only be getting the code for free for helping me

The app will be released soon. and it will cost money.

IMEI: 919x81x491x08174

UNLOCK: 5x95x468

Please try. and post results

=====================================================================

Well it worked for me i'm sure others may be getting theirs now if he's doing them still. As you can see the IMEI number you will see is not the IMEI in my cell or even close, doesn't matter, just put in the unlock code he provides and bam it unlocks it. He gave me my code for free as you can see, so i've no problems testing it out.

@rhcp0112345

I'll give you my $25 for my part tomorrow asap, I have to move some funds through paypal anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] decepticon:
I got that too, try using a terminal emulator on the phone that worked for me
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Idan73:
glad to hear it is permanent unlock.

the point i was trying to make above is that in the absence of competition pricing gets silly sometimes (that is how bell is able to charge $70 something that even samsung support finds appalling). it has been established for years now that comercial unlocking costs generally below thirty but dont get me wrong, you do have the right to put price you want on your hard work. congrats everyone ill be sending mine tomorrow.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BA_Flash_GOD:
you guys have any good apps to test data?

not only is the storm out there really hardcore but this program sucks man it's even korean hah.. I tried speedtest earlier its down, ill have to try it again, anyways you can see some sort of connection at least in english! hah

BTW the bottom part was my location, and you punks don't get that! :P (I'm in Missouri, USA though on AT&T) using this Bell Mobility i9000m that Allgamer hooked me up with just this week.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jentech:
rhcp0112345 is a GOD. I paid my $35 and sent my file. He came back with a code that I plugged in along with an old Rogers sim that isn't active, and the phone came back with Network Unlock Successful!!

Thanks bro, wish I had this 3 weeks ago when I had the Captivate :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rhcp011235:
Fell free to spam my site will be the only site to unlock samsung galaxys :)

Fast and easy!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Croak:
That's exactly what I said to him when I sent my file and payment. :)

Now just waiting for the unlock.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] decepticon:
Add me to the list of AT&T users with a Bell Vibrant. $10 unlimited data never felt so good :D

I bow before you sir!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BA_Flash_GOD:
as well

I want to say that i've no affiliation with rhcp0112345 or anything, me and Decepticon were just two guys at the right place, definite right time, rhcp0112345 needing testing, Decepticon had a few troubles on the upload so I was first on it, and I had to use cruddy hotfile. I just want to make sure everyone knows it's legit!

"rhcp0112345:

I got it. You will only be getting the code for free for helping me"

Helping = doing just that, I backed up my file how he said and uploaded it to him, that's it. He actually helped me hah. Thanks again man. my $25 for the bounty will come tomorrow as stated.

@Decepticon feels good don't it man! Cheers dude great start to the weekend if I drank i'd have one.

@rhcp0112345 What's your site man i'll plug you all over the Midwestern USA
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] decepticon:
Seconded, no affiliation with him at all but was just in the forum when he posted it. My bounty was paid in full.

The reason I got rid of my Captivate was AT&T's ridiculous limit on it's data plan now I don't have to worry about going over AND saving money.

$35 is a deal for the simplicity behind it and unlike a radio flash, no worries when updating firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rhcp011235:
Thanks!

http://www.mrcellphoneunlocker.com/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Croak:
And it WORKS! Up and running on my Telus SIM, voice and data confirmed.

You the man rhcp0112345.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jentech:
Awesome. Now to sell the Vibrant on Craigslist for $1000 and drive back down to Bellingham and grab that Captivate for the third time!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Lokks:
Nice to hear I am going to get my Galaxy hopefully by weeks end and set mine up...good bye desire hello galaxy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BA_Flash_GOD:
Yes same here I returned mine as well for the same reason, our phones just show up as a regular basic/messenging phone now of course. I asked AT&T even on facebook what the HELL is the point of LTE 21mb+ starting next year when you only get 200mb or 2gb a month!! I guess they didn't like that because They flagged me 'report' no joke hah I'm DEAD serious..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Croak:
Lol. I'm going to be down in LA first of next week, see them going NIB for $350 down there. Might pick one up.

Love this Vibrant. Really love it. Hate the way it looks so much like an iPhone, even all wrapped up in sleek carbon fiber Phantomskin Chromatics.

But I digress.

Did I mention you rock rhcp0112345?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] decepticon:
I worked for them for over 7 years and I left after they started the cap. I couldn't justify the BS excuse they were giving customers especially those who didn't live anywhere near 3G. Forced data plans and limited data plans are going to stifle innovation in the wireless broadband sector.

Now looking for a second Vibrant. Any Canucks want to make some money? A friend is looking for one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ziostilon:
@rhcp0112345

you did make your app. so ppl. aren't backwards engineering it?

I wanna pay $35 without having someone else offer the same thing for $30 a week later
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jentech:
That's a good deal, why not. But, I'm kidding,and my wife would kill me. I'll stick with the Vibrant. I've gotten over the ipnone-ness (even though several people have asked 'Is that an iphone?'). And more accessories for it too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rhcp011235:
Keep the cash rolling :)

and ill be up for another 2hrs if people still want to submit dumps. Or you may pay while i sleep and submit the dumps to my email whih is the paypal email.

:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jentech:
You could try checking our Craigslist, there's a few on there for around $450CAN.

http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/search/?areaID=16&subAreaID=&query=vibrant&catAbb=sss
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
How long will take you to issue your "Unlocking App"?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rhcp011235:
I believe within the week the developer said.

I already said this 3 times.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DarthVR6:
This is AWESOME news rhcp0112345!!! I was going to purchase a Vibrant earlier today as well as i had returned my ip4 but decided not to since there was no unlock atm and ended up purchasing a Desire instead!! :( Desire is going back tomorrow first thing....

thanks again RHCP! I'll send you the funds tomorrow!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dgovil:
Sorry if this was answered already, but how much is the application likely to cost? I'm pretty broke at the moment...haha..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rhcp011235:
For XDA people who PM me or post here.

$35 USD.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Electroz:
I do not have another providers sim card to use to bring up the screen where the unlock code can be entered. Is there a *#xxx# code I can use with the unlock code if I just wanted it unlocked for future purposes?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rhcp011235:
Not that i know of. but, You should request the code from us. Before BELL/Samsung fixes this. Or you wont have unlock :)

Might as well take advantage of the code and save it. As you can see it works 100%
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dgovil:
I meant the application that you were talking about(that you said the dev would take a week or so on), unless that's also $35?

Thanks very much!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rhcp011235:
IF people are ROOTED. And CANT wait for the unlock software and are a willing to a little work. I can unlock them for $35.

The app will cost $35 for XDA people ONLY. The rest will pay $45.

You dont pay twice. Only if you cant wait.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BA_Flash_GOD:
Hey guys the pic I should have taken first hah

here you go I should have taken this first, I just used shootme of course from marketplace. network unlocked as shown now. 100%

*EDIT if you check yours before getting your unlock code from rhcp0112345 it should say "Network Lock [ON]" at the top

*#7465625# = Check the locks

Mine used to Say Network Lock [ON] then after I put in code from rhcp0112345 it says Network Lock [OFF]
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cmstlist:
I edited my top-post of the unlock thread on HowardForums to reflect this new unlock method:

http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...ada-Samsung-Galaxy-S-quot-Vibrant-quot-NAM-3G

I don't actually own an SGS but I started the thread because I thought I'd consider buying one. Congratulations on your success. Let me know (either here via PM or by adding to the HoFo thread) if there are any new developments.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rhcp011235:
Please make them sure to email service@mrcellphoneunlocker.com

And note they are from XDA. And they MUST be rooted. And, we will help them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Electroz:
Would like to know for sure if it will work before paying $35....

However, I did find this online, but it is not for our GT-I9000M phones.

Samsung I9000 Galaxy S Unlocking Instructions

1. Power on without SIM

2. Type in #0111*Unlock code# (8 digit unlock code*)

3. Device should say: "Network Lock Deactivated"

4. Phone may automatically reboot

I would be willing to give it a try if I had an unlock code to test. If it works, I would send you the $35 via paypal.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] decepticon:
It works, there are enough confirmations on here to indicate it. He shouldn't need to "prove" it to anyone else on the boards.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Electroz:
I mean I would pay if entering the #0111*Unlock code# method would work. If not, I would not have an unlocked phone, as I do not have access to another providers sim card.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Idan73:
@rhcp0112345

Big THANKS!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rhcp011235:
it will work.

Thanks for the code though :) I did not know you can do it that way.

Do you have another sim? You just pop the sim in. And it will give you the prompt for the code.

And Yes it will work. I dont need to tell anyone it will. because there is plenty of proof here!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] silubia:
Download mode~

I wanna make sure about download mode.

Should I check if DL mode works before I purchase?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Idan73:
why would you want the phone unlocked then if youre with bell

come on youre saying you dont know any of your family,friends,etc who are with another provider?

got mine while i was writing pm in the forum. less than a minute.

now to get refund from those assholes....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Electroz:
Ok, Ill bite. Where do I paypal the money

And do I include the download link in the paypal transfer
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Electroz:
No sir, I do not. Im in Newfoundland, so noone uses rogers because they have a VERY limited network here. And everyone I know on telus has an old CDMA phone, no sim cards involved.

And I want it unlocked because I travel to florida a couple of times a year. I plan on picking up an AT&T pay as you go sim next time I go so I can use this phone without the crazy US roaming data charges that Bell charge.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rhcp011235:
Its all in the thread.

You send $35 as a gift/or personal expense to service@mrcellphoneunlocker.com

and you include the zipped dump file in an email to us.

THanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dgovil:
Worked pretty painlessly, and now am on rogrs with my previous iPhones 3G plan etc...had o enter it manually, but a quick google search is enough to get the information,
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Electroz:
How did you enter it manually... I would like to do this without another providers sim. I found this:

#0111*Unlock code#

But it doesnt seem to do anything
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rhcp011235:
Btw,

Dont use hwjin2 AKA hwjin2@gmail.com. On howard forums.

The person is a thief.

EDIT: He/She did email and say sorry. That he/she is redirecting. Expet the app to be out by next week for all you non-rooted users. and people who want quick no-command mess or root :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] galaxysguy:
A thief is someone trying to profit off of community resources. Are you giving a percentage to the ones who helped get us root? Without it you couldn't make any money.

It takes about 5 minutes of looking through the bak file in a hex editor and you will find the 8 digit code. Claim the bounty and move on.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rhcp011235:
Might be true. But when the people with non-root. come around not going to happen. and yes i did con. to root. READ THE FORUMS NDER MY NAME. I WROTE A ONE CLICK ROOT FOR THIS PHONE!

P.S. The person did email me and say he/sh is redirecting people back to XDA.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] galaxysguy:
besides the bounty was placed for a software unlock you should have no claim to it if requires people sending you a file and you come back with the code

people just use a free hex editor and do it yourself it takes 5 minutes
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rhcp011235:
I normally do not curse on a forum.

But, Shut the **** up.

A) You need to know where to look

B) Ungrateful moron

C) go sit in the corner and cry!

D) If it was SOOOO easy? why hasn't anyone done it before me!

So as my end remark **** OFF KTHX!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] galaxysguy:
you are just a scam artists why are you selling android tablets on your website for twice what they go for on ebay?

you are preying on people who dont know any better

not going to get in a profane argument with you since my grandmother used to say thats only for the ones who cant defend themselves intelligently but off to my corner i go while you steal from unsuspecting members here (i love the $10 discount they get for you looking through their own file by the way)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Android_Freedom:
Why's he a thief? He helped me read my own file and find my own code in there for free...

I understand you discovered this, and you got your bounty $, you deserve it, and the whole community thanks you

But after that, it should be shared like everything else is in this community, that was the aim: to find a crack: you found it.

No need for the extra exaggerated money making (you're probably rich by now due to the captivate/galaxy users who don't know any better, so congrats anyways)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] galaxysguy:
how dare he not charge to read a file on your phone

apparently anyone doing the same thing he does for free is a thief

I thank him for finding the file but he should have told us the code was in the file and not say he needed an imei since it was irrelevant

this is a community about giving back and all he gives is a discount

from his website

that's generosity right there other places charge 1.99/minute where he charges 2 even. if you are a member he will give you an extra minute while he thinks of another way to take your money
