Hi to everyone.
First of all, thanks to let me join the forum.
I am new on all the android thing, so sorry if this question is out of place.
I was wondering if anybody know if once a have root access I can get the unlock code for my phone. I know that I can buy it for 30 or 40 US dollars, but I want to try by myself, I know that I need to read a lot. So I only need to know if this is possible. Thanks in advance.
Regards.

I could not find any application that were able to do the task, I will continue searching and waiting until somebody, release the solution.
I am a newbie and I do not have yet the ability to do this.
Regards.
Does anybody has achived to unlock the nuvifone, or has found an application that can do it?.
Well after several months trying to find I solutions for unlocked my nuvifone, I decide to pay for get the unlock code.
I only have a question, I read on the pages that offer the unlock codes that if the phone is rooted, the code will not work, Does any one know if this is true?
It sounds weird to me, but better ask to make a mistake.
Best Regards.
hi i'm having some difficulty too. i downloaded the superone click app and went through the stages ie unmount the sd card etc, and at the end of installation a message came up that said i have been successfull in rooting my phone ( garmin a50 ). so the superuser icon appeared in the app draw and all looked good. i then downloaded and installed root uninstaller as well as set cpu. i managed to delete system apps and use the set cpu to adjust my speeds. but that's all, every other app that requires root access does not work and they all state that my device is not rooted. and busy box wont install. i also downloaded root checker and tested it and it also said my phone was not rooted.
z4root works just fine on the A50 (aka: Garminfone)
Root uninstaller will NOT remove most apps.
You can remove them manually.
Facebook, twitter, visual voice mail etc. can reside in a few different spots and will come back if not removed from all of them.
/Carrier/persist-app
/data/app
/system/app
and
/system/carrier/persist-app
You may find some of these files across different locations. facebook is in at least 2 or 3 of them.
those are the locations to manually go in and remove the bloatware from. Careful: it is immediate. only remove the bloatware, leave everything else or you can brick the phone and have to recover using the D-pad left to Wipe UserData trick to restore it.

I just want to make sure the following steps are correct to unlock carrier network before I start messing around with my new samsung captivate.
1. Use one click root
2. Flash Clockwork Custom Recovery
3. Lastly follow the [REF] How to unlock/unfreeze all SGS Models [NOW WORKS ON Vibrant 4G] post.
What is the purpose of step 2? why do I have to flash some custom software? And how stable are the updates after 2.2 update? I am wondering if I should even mess around with CyanogenMod 7, which is a mod, as far as I understand, that updates the phone to android 2.3
I tried researching on these topics but there is such a bulk amount of information that it's kinda hard to consolidate everything and fully understand it. Help out a noob!
After you root your phone, just download the Galaxy S Unlock from the market. Follow the steps on there, which is pretty much just a click and a reboot, and you're unlocked.

Be sure to get the one called "Galaxy_S Unlock" The Author is Helroz
actually I forgot to mention, but I am taking this phone to Europe and I don't have a SIM that works in the US to access the market.
try to connect to internet from a wifi connection and download busybox and sgs unlock by helroz.
step 1. Root your phone
step 2. download and install busybox from market.
step 3. download and install run sgs unlock by helroz. then follow the steps in the screen. with this app you dont need another simcard, it is simple and easy
now you can enjoy.
regards.
sorry for my english
and
sounds good
I could never get that unlock app to work for me. Works only on 2.1 right?
Worked on my stock 2.2
Works on every ported I9000 GB ROM I've tried so far too.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Hmm im stock 2.2 just rooted all I get is a bunch of F's
Theres a number code you put it (like you calling) I forget what that number was, but you put it in then a screen will come up saying if "Network Lock" is "[ON]" or "[OFF]"
If it says it is off then it does not matter if all u see is FFFFFF, you phone is unlocked. Same happen to me, I'm on T-Mobile right now.
Ya I know, it still says network lock on. I have an nv_data.bak file on my phone that says the size is 40.00 M in Astro file manager. Seems awfully big, but anyway. Ya, cant get it to work. No big deal I guess, no plans on going to T-mob, just wanted to show my aunt that she should can get this phone and use it on T-mob, her carrier.

The stock files Helroz's app saved on mine are 2.00MB (2097152). On T-Mo 2G Edge is the limit for Cappy's data rate.
worked on 2.3.3 too
Edit: The unlock is persistent even after I reflashed the ROM.
im having a problem with the app, everytime i try it i just get FFFFFFF and it doesnt work. i tried getting a new sim card and nada. it sucks cuz im on deployment and would really like to talk to the wife. any ideas?

Got root?.
1.root using superoneclick- make sure you download the one with the tool package included. you can do it on your pc if you have no market access. clshortfuse thanks.
2.unlock with helroz's program- you can get that without market access. thanks helroz
Note: you will need busy box and a wifi connection to run helroz's app.
i downloaded both of the above on my pc (apk files) then put them on my phone. i went to a hotel and got a wifi connection then ran helroz's program.
i unlocked in china with no sim. works like a charm. Trusselo gave me some good advice which is very simple: read the instructions for the superoneclick and unlocker. cant say this enough. also, donate to the developers. i donated and my johnson grew three inches.

can you please point to those apk files?
google "superoneclick CLShortFuse" then google "Galaxy_S_Unlock helroz" both results will lead you to the xda page which will lead you to the places to download the apk files. i had this problem in china with no market access and it worked for me. note: you will have to find a wifi connection for helroz's unlocker to work. both programs are super easy to use. if this helps please hit my thanks button. if you have any problems, you can pm me. i am a noob but i will try to help any way can.
also, if you get those apk files and they work, it is polite to donate to the developers. they have a little button that accepts paypal. those guys are really cool and even a small donation is a kind way of saying thanks.
Hi folks,
There was this wonderful guide on how to root a phone. Well, I'm stupid. I admit it.
I have NO idea what flashing means or what ROMing does...
regardless, my sole aim & purpose here was to figure out a way HOW to get my phone in a state, where i can delete ANY APPLICATION tmobile puts on my bloody phone that i don't want or need. much like getting a new HP laptop...i buy my own OS and delete everything and start from scratch...
so first i got my unlock code from tmobile...so my phone is unlocked...but i still can't delete any app
so guy next to me who i know and writes apps for android says i should root my phone
well i think i'm rooted...but can't confirm...
regardless, going through this process of rooting...it cleared out phone contents...which i knew it would...you know SD data, sim card data...photos, etc etc...
lol...well now i forgot what gmail ID i used to store all my phone contacts that sucks for me...
So HOW do i get my phone to a state where i can delete anything i want on my phone?!! Thx
Unlock bootloader, flash recovery e.g twrp (v 2.3.3 recommended, higher versions have problems) flash super user then download system tuner and delete the bloat or stuff u don't want under system tab

This guide makes it pretty easy.

Follow the steps to unlock bootloader, get a new recovery, and a custom Rom.
Customs Roms don't come with all that tmobile bloat. If you like Sense, try Viper One S.
Goodluck and enjoy the wonderful world of xda.

I don't know what a ROM is
But yes, I don't like ANY of the Tmobile bloated software...my INTENTION is to delete all the apps it puts on and just put my own on.
I also don't know what new recovery means.
I'm a guy that pretty much has used Win7 for ages & ages..this is my "realistically" first smartphone, because the "actual 1st" had a broken screen and didn't play with it much. All of this Android stuff is pretty new.
So yeah, I just like clean slates...I pretty much just want my phone to play the music I add on it, my Pandora & watch a few TV shows that I add to the phone via USB from my PC.
As a side question, is it OKAY to ask about "cracked" apps...meaning finding apps that are free but are normally billable..thanks.
Earlier this morning I did go to one of the threads here to start "rooting" but I don't know if I'm done or not...how do I know?
get to know xda, not just these threads--ck out the wiki
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Main_Page
i read and searched everything when i started
you cannot discuss cracked apps as the are illegal
if you are rooted you can dl and use apps like titanium backup and root explorer from market
all this takes time but effort like everything else we do
enjoy the advantages of being rooted
and once you are make a backup (nandroid) asap and a copy of your sdcard. put both on pc also
Ive tried looking for a rooting method for this phone and have not come up with anything, i ran across a page with a list of roms for it so there's got to be a way to root it, I'm not sure if i want to install a rom but what i do want is to uninstall some of the bloatware that comes installed on the phone..
Does anyone have a link for a guide on rooting this phone? and possibly a list of the apps that are safe to remove?
I tried to use the advanced search on this site but i was told it was unavailable..
Any help would be appreciated

Hi.
I just registered so I could post to this thread =)
BRAND NOOB ALERT!
I've got the Metro PCS sgh-t599n
It has been rooted by my ex boyfriend
I seriously have been trying to unlock this bad boy for almost a month!
And I don't know what I'm doing SO MUCH, that trying to figure it out I accidentally got a Trojan virus on my step moms laptop she let me borrow (SMH-dad fixed that tho phew!)
Do you know how how I can unlock it??
I don't have one of those box thigs but I can connect it to my computer with USB
I have the T mobile sim card (and like a noobie) I activated (and paid for) prepaid service through them 3 wks ago... Sigh.
Guess I was a little over confident I would be able to figure this out lol I have definitely tried everything to find out how...
But I have already canceled my metro service and didn't have them for 3 months prior, so getting my network sim unlock code from Metro isn't an option
Also, (like a big giant noob) I thought I would be cute and try to guess it when I had some time to kill one day
SMH.
Now I may have made it to where I will need a PUK code also.
If you can help me with any advice or information, or even just point me in the right direction you would definitely be my hero at this point!
This is the longest I have ever been away from my 6 yr old and although we Skype often, if I am not home I have no way to reach me atm even tho I'm paying for service.
Boooo. Lol. Someone help the newbie!
Please and thank you =)

I have read the other threads numerous times, and for the life of me can't get this phone rooted.
It is the D651 version and it's running Lollipop from an OTA update.
I tried rooting before allowing the update, but couldn't get that to work, so I decided to go ahead and update to lollipop thinking that would solve my problem
NOT!
I've tried KingoApp---FAILED
iRoot----FAILED, both phone version and computer version
Towelroot----FAILED
Does ANYONE have any suggestions?
I downloaded MTK Engineering, and went into MTK Settings/Log and Debugging/User2Root/Root
but that didn't seem to do anything either.....not sure why I even did that other than reading in one of the other threads to go into engineering mode and allow root.....I'm assuming that's what this means?
I am really getting frustrated by this...please, if anyone can offer any tips/tricks/or insight on what I am doing wrong, it would be greatly appreciated.....
Try Kingroot
First excuse my English but I'm using google , you need to download Aptoide ( which is an alternative app store ) from Aptoide you write browser and then install it , and looking for the KIGROOT installed application to appear clicking on the ' look at other stores " there will KINGROOT appear with an icon of lightning , is in Chinese , click on the icon and wait until the middle of root, then check with root checker , you then recommend to be root to delete the store of Aptoide.
Install a kind of SU called Kinguser , I install CWM or Philz , when I have you posting like . good Luck

Hello Buddy i just got this phone and the 1st thing i did was update it because it was on kk know it is lolypop and i used kingo root method and workede like a charm. it also gave me kinguser and purify..
Yeah, I managed to get it to work also.
Then went so far as removing Kinguser and replaced it with SuperUser.
Caused a bunch of problems in doing so, but managed to get everything in working order......to an extent.
Now, no matter how many times I try, I can not unroot or return to factory settings.
Even wiping the phone and flashing stock/recovery doesn't seem to work.
I've been trying to 'wipe' the phone and return it to out of the box status several times but.....no joy.
I'm going on a huntch
Means this is mtek phone
Thinking back to moto g the xt we had to get a unlock code from Motorola and use the n send this extra long key by email to moto for exchange of an unlock code.
Anyone think maybe same rule might apply?? Just guessing cause I want to see this thing unlocked an going cause this audio is really weak on my end and the touch screen is the pits when typing its like 50 x then it types the letter
I noticed after I used king root everything I changed started to go back to the way it was n or disappeared.
Kingroot seemed to work
Seems to work only for awhile until you start trying to make heavy system changesit starts to bugger up. I got that same page its in my opinion a temporary exploit method.
Hello,
I have checked similar topics but did not find correct answers for me.
I would like advice what are my options if I want to save contacts on SIM cards by default. I'm not google fan, so please do not advice me to use that.
I have rooted Gigabyte Gsmart GX 2 with Xposed framework, removed all Google bloatware from my device (including play store and gmail).
Now I have only option to save contacts to phone only. Even when I do that I can't export them to sim cards, tried apps like SIM manager etc. but those apps just don't see my contact in phone.
I would like to save business contacts on sim card I got from my employer and easily return them with the SIM in case i quit.
And my personal contacts on my own SIM card.
Is there any app for that? Most apps are not for dual sim which is problem for me. Best solution would be dual sim dialer with possibility to save contacts directly to SIM cards. I would even pay for such an app
My old phone Prestigio 4055 with Xperia ROM from 4PDA with android 4.1 has no problem with this. Could I somehow remake android 4.1 apps to work on 4.4 ?
Also another thing which 4.4 lacks is security when connecting device to PC, it simply connects but my 4.1 device gives me 4 options how I want to connect it, until I choose one, my pc can't access it.
And I'm also looking for list of 4.4 system apps safe to remove, especially those cloud offering bloatware.
What other options do I have? Is it possible to downgrade to 4.1 android? I contacted support and they informed me, they are not planning to make lolipop for this phone. I know that in lolipop you can save those damn contacts on sim Is it possible to cook my own ROM that would meet these criteria? How difficult it would be?
Thanks in advance for positive answers
Puffy
That, that you described is what I did and result is a faulty rooting access. I dont know what else to do. Anybody? Ideas please??
Rooted but faulty.
Hello again.

After reading many many threads about rooting my fierce2. I decided to give a chance to the longer method of rooting ( kingroot4.4, antutu, cpu benchmarck, geek benchmark, speedtest). After a few trays I got success!!!!!!!!!! (I tried kingroot and antutu only but after several trays I gave up). I was sooooo happy I got kingroot confirmation of root access!!!!!!!:laugh::silly::silly:.
But my happiness whent down the toilet as soon as I check with rootcheker . It said tha the root access wasnt right?????.
I'm very frustrated and annoyed. I cant use supersu or any other root tool to remove apps....
I tried unroot but wont work and everytime I install kingroot to root the phone again I cant because kingroot detects my phone as rooted but is not really....
Help please plase please. Here are the snapshots

try some apps like titanium backup which need root access if are able to uninstall pre installed apps with the help of titanium back up then it is sure that your phone is rooted maybe root checkers are not able to detect or still u face a problem open that super user app go to its setting pannel scrool down you will find a option of full unroot use that to unroot it and then again try to root your phone
hmm
I have found it is not android 4.4.2 as u guys here claim that makes you unable to save contacts to sim card anymore...
Prestigio MultiPhone 5455 DUO is also running android 4.4.2 and there are 4 options when i click save new contact> sim1, sim2, phone, google account
I downloaded 5455 rom and my question is, which file i must transfer to my phone to have these options available in dumb GSmart GX2 ?
huh
nobody knows? what criteria must i meet? I get com.android.phone error when i transfer some files like telephony provider, dialer etc..
why is that? is it even possible to transfer android system files and apps between 2 phones with same android version but different manufacter?

Framaroot doesn't work on every device. Stop posting the method that you used for your device everywhere. Don't make posts for devices that you don't have unless you have links or evidence to backup what you are posting.
