Hello,
I recently just purchased a Samsung Vibrant T959 (T-mobile) phone from ebay that was already rooted and has Froyo 2.2 installed.
I am actually from Canada, and the phone is from the US, so I need it unlocked so that I can use it on a carrier in Canada.
Is it okay to unlock it, when it is rooted and has Froyo 2.2 installed?
Will I run into any trouble or what do I do? I have no idea how to get the phone back to the original state, and I prefer froyo over the original stock rom.
If anyone could help, that would be appreciated.
Thanks!!
You can get the Unlock code from Online site and Unlock it.

Hi Guys,
I got this unlocked Samsung Captivate phone from CL. Works fine. But I was wondering, since the original nv_data.bin is no longer available, is there a way to know what is the unlock code ???
The guy from whom I purchased the phone does not respond to my emails.
Since there are cases that updating to higher Versions might ask for unlock code once again, I am just being well prepared for the worst.
Thanks

Yeah me too
Yeah me too!
As long as you stick to the ROM that was originated from Captivate ROMs, you should be fine. Most of those get screwed up and need re-apply unlock code are from flashing those European ROMs tweaked for Captivate.
Also, I read there is now a way to extract unlock code even in Froyo 2.2. I'm pretty sure Dev section has a thread about it.
Hi
I would like to root my att s2 lte phone (gingerbread v3.2.6 ) which has been unlocked by someone I paid.
I was wondering if there's a safe rooting method that would not touch the unclocked state as I don't want to pay again for unlocking.
thanks
If it's unlocked, it will remain unlocked no matter how you root, or what you flash. as long as they put in the carrier unlock/subsidy code, it will never relock itself.
Thanks!
But do you know the best method to safely root 2.6.35.11 sky rocket?
I smell another brick. Another brick in the wall.
I posted this to the wrong board, sorry for those who have seen my question before.
I bought the SGS 4G over a year ago now, and I sucessfully rooted and unlocked the phone for use in Korea. During that time i kies'd my way up to Gingerbread which made me lose root, but it was still unlocked. I recently upgraded phones and was looking to sell my current Galaxy 4G. Since I didn't want my google account attached to the phone I stupidly reset the phone back to factory default. It told me that it wouldn't revert back to froyo so I thought I would be safe.
Is the phone now re-locked back to the Canadian telecom company it was originally bought from? Could a Korean use their SIM just like I have been doing? Since my new phone has micro-SIM I can't test this myself.
Also, if indeed it IS re-locked is it possible to unlock it without using my google account to redownload the unlocking app I used.
Thanks everyone.

I'm pretty sure once unlocked, always unlocked. There is a phone number command to type to see the status, you can google to find it, I can't remember.

You can now use the unlock code when you put in the non-T-Mobile sim into your phone and unlock your phone. You can check the unlock status by dialling *#7465625#. All the locks should say "OFF".

You'll need to be on a stock BML rom to be able to check since I haven't ever been able to check using an MTD rom.
Hey all,
I'm wondering if there is any valid software that works for retrieving the MSL on the LG Optimus One? I have a Telus P500h that I'm trying to network unlock for a friend, however, with CDMA Workshop, it is able to connect to the device, but it fails to read any information. I know I can go to Telus to have them unlock it for like 35$, but you need a Telus account, and I don't want one, nor do I really want to pay a fee.
I know one of you knows how to go about unlocking without paying, it cannot be impossible.
It has been awhile since I last unlocked a device, but when I did I used CDMA workshop. This was before Android, so maybe the two aren't compatible?
I did attempt the same thing with my Hercules, but it returned the same error.
The LG phone is not rooted, and for some reason it won't boot into download/recovery, so I don't believe that I can.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Regards,

I recently upgraded my phone to replace my Galaxy S3. I still have it rooted and bootloader unlocked, with 4.3 ROM
I was wondering, if this phone is already unlocked for international use? Or do i still have to take it in to a VZW to do their magic?
Also, do i need another Sim card from vzw or how exactly does the phone work for international usage?
