Picture of what to look for

The picture at the begining of the post did not work for me, i hate ho photobucket has a load of ads. So here is what it looks like

"bayimg.com/LAIfNAaDo"

Copy that without the quotation or if you are logged in then just

http://bayimg.com/LAIfNAaDo

It seems to me that you are not finding the correct code. You might be entering it in hexcode. Be careful because too many attemps and you lock your phone permanently, i think.

Used this method it worked so thank you.

Is it permanent?

I am going to get a Samsung Galaxy Captivate and unlock it for use on T-Mobile. But I hate the Samsung TouchWiz interface. If I unlock it, and then install the CM7 rom, will it still be unlocked? In other words, is it permanent?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Stroid01:
worked great for me thanks..only issue i had was when i did the search in the instructions it said 2 to 10 results i got 732. I clicked around the results till i saw an 8 digit code on the right most results had funny characters not numbers. Once I found the 8 digit number i tried it using an old att sim card and it unlocked successfully.

Thanks OP

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] amalio357:
Try this first...

Ok,I have been with T-mobile for only 4 months now. All I did was call in and tell the cs rep. that mea nd my wife are going to london for our anniversary next week and I want to use a local service provider there in london. They said ok and asked for my email address and the next day i had my unlock code emailed straight to me....THE END. Let me know if u do this and get yours too. Thanks ;-))

ps If they try to offer you an international plan just say NO,I would like to use a sim over there in the other country.

Could not unlock

Hey guys,

I got a galaxy S (sgh-959v - firmware 2.2.1 - froyo) locked by T-Mobile. I followed the instructions, got the 8-digit code e it did not work.

I tried a factory reset, just to make sure, (my sister used the phone for a few weeks), and once again i got the same 8-digit code. The code shows quite a few times in the hex file.

But I stil can't unlock the network. Any ideias?

Thanks to all....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] osugsxr:
may have multiple lines highlighted, I had only one highlighted and it worked flawless.

Ok, i got it unlocked using this other method:

At first i could no find nv_data.bin in the folder especified by "dagentooboy", só i searched with a simple "find / | grep nv_data.bin" and found it under "/efs/root/afs/settings/nv_data.bin".

Followed every other step e got my galaxy S unlocked. :)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Difusal:
I have my phone for a while, I have successfully unlocked it in the first day using an app called galaxy_s unlock. My problem is I didn't have to enter any unlock code. after that I've flashed my phone millions of times and the app data was deleted several times. Now, how can I lock my phone if I need to get the warranty? What code should I enter to lock my phone? Whatever comes to my mind? ..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thelistening:
Doesnt the SGSUnlock app work the same exact thing? I did it to my old Cappy...

plus does anyone know if you do unlock the SGS4G would it get 4G or would it just be stuck on edge..because i know Vibrant to ATT will get 4G but Cappy to Tmo is edge.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dslayer83:
You can send me the file and ill point it out.

I had little trouble by this but reading comments about it cause i had over 221 results on it so it made it hard, If you get that many results try starts at bottom of list and you will see random numbers after the highligted area on the right side of the screen. This is your unlock code. Worked perfectly after this. just now got to flash this t mobile rom off of it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s_d123:
Help Guys!

I also have similar issues, I followed the instructions and got the code. but when reboot the phone with different carrier it does not ask for "Enter network Lock Control Key" and when i enter *#7465625# it gives and error the process com.android .phone has stopped unexpectedly.

Please help..:(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s_d123:
Ok, I tried some luck after restoring to factory settings and again rooting the s 4g. Now, when i enter *#7465625# it shows the "personalized Status"

Network Lock-Off

Network Subset Lock-Off

SP Lock -Off

Cp Lock-off

So, I believe phone is unlocked, but still with my Vodafone SIM it shows, No Service. It reads the contacts and all the stuff in the SIM. But when i try to make a call it says "not registered on network"

Its working.........
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] NRGZ28:
Yep! Worked for me too... the actual code was the 8 digit strings that comes up about 5-6 times towards the end of the file. Not the first two instances of it..:)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] PhantomSectre:
Thanks... and YES it works 100%. I've unlocked 4 phones with this method. If you can't seem to 'get it', then just stop and go PAY for someone to unlock your phone!

Wonder if some one can help.... Went thought all of the posts - saw few with similar issues I have... Here is what I have:

All the "FFFFFFFFFF0100000000" searches (162 of them) all end with 0s

if I try FFFFFFFFFF0100010000 I get one, which 80483904 - and this is not getting accepted...

What I am doing wrong?

lol thx for helping me this is working. I unlocked Samsung Galaxy S 4G t-mobile. First I used SuperOneClick for rooting and he installed me superuser. After that download on market Android Terminal Emulator and i folowed ur instruction. When bml3.bak appeared on Sd card i had to copy that on desktop of my pc and 010 Hex editor did the rest > 8 digits was there :D thx a lot again

P.S. by the way, is this step work on HTC phones ?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GFX.myst.:
for those of you still having trouble with this, go to this site and follow each of the directions. i used those directions and it worked perfectly. for some there may be more results in the search. i know mine came up with 451 results. just gotta be patient and search through each one.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
Wow so much trouble for an unlock. Has anyone ever thought of just calling customer care and asking them for the code? If you tell them you're going out of country on a trip they'll give it to you.

Did it once ;)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] huebollo:
Thanks I Have Unlocked Thumb Up :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jaydoc79:
Hi..

Followed this guide to a "t".

The .bak file search for the string name came up with an 8 digit number in only 1 of 407 instances that turned up from the search. Nowhere else could I find this number.

I tried it with a SIM card from a foreign network. The SIM is almost 2 years old now, and surely has no access to any networks here. The first time I did it, when I put the 8 digit number in and hit OK, the phone came up with a message that said "error: incorrect code".

I went back to square one and started all over, created a new file, and searched that. This time, too, the same number was the only one that showed up in only 1 of 217 instances(compared to 407 earlier). Anyway I thought I would try again, and this time when I put my foreign SIM in and unlocked my phone with my android device PIN, the phone DID NOT ask me for a network unlock code and went straight to the main screen. In the settings page, I was able to choose between TMobile and ATT although I could not get into any obviously.

When I put my T-mobile SIM back on the phone won't even search for any other available network and errors out if I search for one.

So am I truly unlocked or what..? I have no other US SIM card to try and test.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Krzysiek_CK:
I followed the provided instructions and I was able to unlock my phone.

The only difference was that the unlock code was provided only once and it was the last search find in the file.

Hi,

I was able to follow all the steps, get "bml3.bak" from device. Then I searched for "FF FF FF FF FF 01 00 00 00 00" in it and found 6 occurences. Only first didn't contain anything afterwards, but then 5 times there was repeating 8 digit number "5064693". But when I tried to use it to unlock the phone it didn't work. What am I doing wrong?

The phone is T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4G T959V

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Krzysiek_CK:
The number you posted 5064693 actually has 7 digits. You need one more digit.

I did try to use SGS Unlock program, but it return NULL/NULL too. My IMIE wasn't corrupted and looks correct.

Tried another method with "nv_data.bak" but couldn't find any code inside using referenced locations.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] JoseChow:
Hello All,

I have been following a majority of the posts on the forum in regards to unlocking the SGS 4g and have tried multiple avenues to try and unlock my phone to no avail.

So if anyone is willing to support my destroyed ego due to my inability to just do it without direct assistance, please go ahead and be little me some more while providing some helpful feed back :P

So here is the run down:

Phone - Samsung Galaxy S 4g model SPH-d700

Firmware 2.3.5

Build GINGERBREAD.EI22

Kernel Version 2.6.35.7

installed programs: SuperUser, BusyBox, SGS Unlock Pro (tried and failed all methods getting "null"), Galaxy_S Unlock(tried and failed due to "busy box problem"?)

So first, I tried to root using OneClickRoot, didn't work. Used a helpful tutorial for ACS and was able to root that way.

Now rooted, I couldn't find the NV_data.bin file, so I searched alot and found this thread post. I extracted the bml3.bak file using both the "cp"(this didn't work) and "dd" command lines that everyone has been using. I loaded up 010 Hex and the document does not contain the search line FFFFFFFFFF0100000000 only a few numbers in the first 5 lines of the massive sea of "F" there afterward. No eight digit code in the ASCII character lines.

Attempting to check the status of unlock using the *#7465625# and I get the error code "com.android.phone has stopped"

Since I have a boost mobile phone, I swapped the SIM cards and the Galaxy didn't even recognize a different SIM card was in there and didn't ask for a network unlock code or what not. (maybe because boost is sprint?)

Anyway, that is the synopsis of my troubleshooting efforts. I have not bricked my phone yet, so I am extremely fortunate for that. Any help is greatly appreciated.

cn.fyodor has posted the files necessary for enabling fm on tattoo and i tried it(CM 7.0.0 RC0.7002 also worked on Froyo) and it works like a charm :D.

INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO DO IT

Pre requisite

*A GingerBread or Froyo rom

*Terminal Emulator

*The extracted files from the rar file attached to this post.

*Android SDK.

Hands on cmd

*adb push fm /system/bin

*adb push snd_set_device /system/bin

/* NOTE THAT THE HEADSET HAS TO BE PLUGGED TO PHONE AT THIS POINT/*

Now go to TE(Terminal Emulator) on your tattoo

*su

*system/bin/fm

*fm [THE FREQUENCY OF THE RADIO STATION ON KHZ]

*fm off command to quit fm

Note there is no fm search function at present and all the radio stations have to be in KHZ format where one 1 MHZ = 1000 KHZ

(i.e) 98.3 fm(MHZ) = 98300 KHZ

so the command will be fm 98300

Enjoy!!!

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] phaijai:
so i'm confused, mainly because I don't know anything about video codecs, but what is the best video player for the Atrix. With the Tegra 2, I assumed video playback would not be a problem. However, I've had issues playing AVI files as well as MP4 files downloaded through TubeMate. I've tried the default player, Mvideo Player, Act 1 Player, QQ player, and YX player. For my MP4 files, some play and others lag while the sound plays without issue.

Any suggestions?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] reddog:
Act 1 Player for me.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] irus:
The problem is that a lot of these players are using a "software decode" method instead of a "hardware decode" method. Rockplayer worked like a charm on the captivate for mp4 mkv... etc but for some reason rockplayer does not work well with tegra chip. I have contacted them about this and they gave me a version that was supposed to be for our device but it did not work any better. So hopefully a tegra vid player with hardware decoding will come out soon.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] phaijai:
I was wondering about the whole "software decode" over "hardware decode". Hopefully Rockplayer releases an updated version. In the meantime, I'll try Act 1 again.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] hotleadsingerguy:
Well since the Tegra doesn't have hardware support for high-profile H.264 you're not going to *get* a video player that handles hardware decoding any better than the default app. There's a reason the default "Video Player" won't play those files.

Try Vital Player. I've used it to play a few files even up to 1080p using Software Decoding. It's not perfect but it's one of the best I've tried. Software decoding is the *ONLY* way to play most H.264 videos.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Clienterror:
Just tried Vital Player, its great thanks!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] henryher:
I am trying out Vital Player myself and I can't get it to see my sdcard. It keeps going into my internal storage. I set the root directory in the settings area for /mnt/sdcard-ext/ I tried several variations but it keeps looking into my internal storage. I don't keep videos in there cause they take up too much room. Any one know how to get it to look in the sd card?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] circuitjc:
Instead of using the built in file browser you can select the video file in the motorola file app then select it then Vital Player.

So far it works excellent for me. Seems smoother and the on screen controls are useful.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] henryher:
I have been using the file app but if I like the player I was thinking of getting the pro. But no sense paying money if I can't use the built in file search. I don't mind spending a few bucks on something good.

Hey everyone,

so first let me tell you that I am not a newb so I tried every possible solution I could come up with, so this is just a last attempt.

So I wanted to tests some ROMs around since I had a free friday night and Odin screwed me over. I tried to flash JM9 with 512, some other Froyo ROMs and even gave a shot to Darky's resurrection. But no matter what I try, Odin always does one of these things:

It gets stuck at Initializing...

It gets stuck at SET PARTITION...

It gets stuck at Kernel flashing...

It turns my screen into a random colour and gets stuck (green, gray, blue, red so far..)

Tried flashing with/without PIT/Partition, 1 package ROMs, 3 package ROMs, etc.. To no avail. Tried to have the battery out for half an hour, etc..

All I can do with my phone atm is acces Download mode, so that kinda keeps me hoping, however it won't boot or go to recovery..

So any ideas anyone? :rolleyes: Thanks for any help..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sean2476:
Download a known working copy of Odin and try that. also download new firmware from samfirmwares too just in case your current firmwares have become corrupted.
