Ok, I have seen many posts about this model and how to unlock it if it's only SIM locked but no one has yet decided to give us a program to generate the unlock code. I have started this thread maybe someone will finally post the app to generate the code by imei as I have seen on another post for the Touch model.
I am willing to donate money for the guy's work but I have to decide how much if it works.
This forum tries as I have seen to offer free stuff for people, but with the unlocking tools, simple unlocking tools no one wants to share.
Please is there is someone who wants to share his program to generate the unlocking codes, post it here.
Thanks
Why not just buy a code on ebay? It's not too expensive.
ebay code
I haven't serached ebay yet. do you have a link? thanks
www.ebay.com
There was a poster in the General forum who was giving away free sim codes. Try searching in there and the shoot out a PM.

no thanks
Nop thaks, I ain't gonna pay 20 euros for a **** code, or wait a month until ebay code arrives in my country. I will somehow find a way to read the code from the phone and when I do I will freely give the program to anyone, I am not that despicable and money sick to ask cash for such a software. It cost's about 50$ to buy a mxkey or Axebox if I would want to make money from phone unlocking...but again I will find a solution and post it as open source for anyone...
if you do, please post it here..
Has anyone been able to sim unlock the Bell Sensation?
Sites that have the code for T-Mobile Sensation don't seem to have it for the Bell version. I actually got the Bell Sensation 5 days back and been trying to unlock it since. If someone knows where to get it unlocked, please let me know! I know the code would be available shortly (hopefully soon, but I want to know if anyone has been successful and where)
These are the sites I've used and every one of them has been unsuccessful:
1. unlocking .com
2. gsmliberty .com
3. mobileincanada .com
4. htcimeiunlock .com
5. htcsimunlock .com(took my money, did not result in code and never refunded it back, I've contacted them 4 times and they never reply, its been like 3 days now, you might wanna be careful with these guys)
6. cellunlocker .net (I didn't try to unlock my sensation with these guys, but tried to unlock a different phone and they sent me the wrong code. I asked for a refund, they asked me to provide them video proof, i did that and its been 7 months no refund)
7. cellunlock .net (different site from cellunlocker)
I have checked on more websites that I can't remember at the moment.
This?
Hope it works...
What's the first IMEI digits?
Does Your HTC IMEI# Start With "3577790" or "3578410" or "3526660" or "3539230" or "3538330" or "3589910" or "3523140" ??? They can do it... supposedly.

I know this is off topic but can you confirm if your bell sensation has a camera lens flush to the casing, like it is not recessed. I was at the source looking at a dummy phone and it has a lens flush with the casing.
I am trying http://www.unlockallcellular.com right now... dunno if that will work
Please let us know how it goes. I'm gonna try theunlock.ca

oh god, i have a feeling for the next few weeks the sensation thread is going to be spammed hard by bell users having problems with their sensations :/
unlock codes will take a couple days for the BELL sensation, as bell is NOT a fan of their exclusive branded hardware going to other carriers, even if you buy off contract or in another store
But I can't wait a couple of days, I have to use it now!! Just kidding, was actually hoping I'd be able to unlock today, guess Ill have to wait. Hope we wont have to wait too long.

I just emailed him, lets see what happens. He said he did 2 bell's yesterday successfully and one did not work.
Kijiji Guy can't do it for a week. If you know someone with a bell account they will do the unlock for $75 bucks, seems like the only option right now.

Did he say his unlock codes would be available in a week?
I've never actually owned a device on launch, so is that generally the rule? Unlock codes usually take up to a week to obtain?
Thanks for the info by the way.

cellunlocker .net has stolen my money before, I'd never use their service ever or recommend it to someone else.
No, no luck. They charged me for the unlock codes but refunded me within 2 hours with an email that said "Not Found".
They have noted on their website that their HTC codes only get updated once a week, so I guess we just gotta wait!
Hello,
My sister just bought a new Samsung C3050, network-locked.
Does somebody know a way to unlock it, or a website where I should go ?
I know some website where it is possible to unlock Alcatel, ZTE... phones for free, but nothing for Samsung.
Thanks in advance.

gayraja registered 3 days ago, and just spams for apparently different online unlock services... Apparently different because the names differ, but are probably the same service (because the web interface is always about the same), and at various (but always high) prices...

My first message in this thread is old, and I found by myself a much cheaper unlock provider than yours long time ago, so... thanks for nothing, gayraja...

This thread is serious....... PLEASE Expert opinions are welcome. I dont know much about unlocking and stuff, so please read.
I know this business of unlocking the SKR has been around for long.
BUT now there are folks on ebay, youtube, and other sites offering a USB method for unlocking th Skyrocket. Should buyers beware, or does anyone know if this is real?
Members yozh and BionicBeast have brought this before....but on searching google this business of USB UNLOCKING is out there. Are people being scammed?
examples:
http://www.fastgsm.com/en/page/how-to-unlock-samsung-i5700-spica-i5800-i5500-galaxy-3-5
http://www.youtube.co.id/watch?v=mH...DvjVQa1PpcFP61Cpp-L2yMG0La7fzZWij315zX043xRs=
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ht_1158wt_1396
EDIT: I think in only one case it is a real unlock code recovery.....the others look like hacks??
The first link you got there of the fastgsm one is real. I paid the $15 and unlocked the Tmobile Galaxy S2 which is almost identical to the Skyrocket.
It was done via the USB method. So it definitely works.
The second one is also real. It's another company that does it. I believe for about $17.

Thanks, dixit. Great input. So it is doable.......now we just need to get one of our great xda folks on the job !!!
Does this method actually find your unlock code that you can then enter, or is this a file hack? Can you provide further info on what happens at the unlock stage ?
I ask, because if this is a file hack like the famous Galaxy S unlocker, then one needs to worry about restoring the files etc. and warranty issues. If this an actual unlock code, then all is well .
There is already one person that has been trying to see what they can do on this. That person has been running on it for awhile but due to some finals he is taking its on hold till first week of May. So Id hang tight to see if that person can get anywhere. Otherwise wait a few more months and I think these will drop in the $2 range for codes once these phones lose their exclusivity deals with their respective carriers.

The USB method is not a temporary unlock, its permanent. What they are doing is finding the location that the unlock code is stored, and overwriting it with 8 zeros "00000000" and then when you are presented with the screen to unlock the phone with the unlock code, you enter 8 zeros and the phone is permanently unlocked. The code is stored on the phone, so all they are doing is changing the code, then letting you enter it in. Restoring wont affect it.
This is sort of what the other person is trying to figure out. They want to see what areas these folks are hitting on the phone and see if he can do the same without needing to pay for it from these companies. But like I said, its only matter of a few months or so till these phones lose their exclusivity with their carriers and then these codes will be widely available to unlockers and the price will drop to $1 like they are on 100s of phones on ebay. Right now its up there in price cause only ATT or Samsung can provide the code. Some say truly only Samsung can provide it cause if you call ATT they cant/wont even provide the unlock code.

Thanks a lot.
So that's what the "00000000" is about. I was wondering about that step, since if they found the code, why 8 zero's...

Because replacing a known location where the unlock code is stored with an unlock code of 8 zero's is much easier then trying to decrypt the code already stored in the phone.
---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------
Dump the EFS partition to a file, then pay to unlock a phone via one of the USB unlockers, then dump the EFS partition a second time and do a binary compare. The lock code location and format will become very apparent in the compare.

Getting the location is a start, from there it's determining the format. The code is probably encrypted or it might be stored as an MD5 hash of the unlock code.
It may be that the unlockers have figured out the encrypted hash for '00000000' and just overwrite the correct location in the partition with that value so that when you enter 8 zero's as the network unlock code it works.
99% of the EFS is just 0x00 and 0xFF so there's not that much 'real' data to compare, maybe 150 or 200KB.
Another option is to collect EFS partitions from several phones and compare them, the relevant information such as IMEI, BT and WiFi MAC, unlock code will be in the locations that these files differ.

This info might be dated, since it has been a while that I worked for AT&T, but to the best of my knowledge, they DO give out unlock codes as long as you say the following:
1. You need it for international travel.
2. The offer you an international plan, decline it. Say you want to use a local SIM card.
3. They will say they can only do it if they put international roaming on this line. It is a free feature, so say "yes".
4. They will generate and provide an unlock code free of charge.
5. Send me whatever money you were going to pay
During the years I worked there, I did this countless times for customers.

Sorry, man, those days are gone. It is simply that Samsung still controls the database of the unlock codes for "famous"/top-end devices.
To prove this here is my chat with AT&T just 5 mins ago:
ATT: Thank you for completing the prechat survey. We can certainly check your device to see if can be unlocked for international travel. Can you please provide me the 15 digit IMEI number from the phone? You may obtain this number by entering *#06# on your phone.
Me: Sure....one min.
Me:
Brad Ritcey: Thank you. One moment.
ATT: Currently the device is not eligible to be unlocked. We have no set unlock date for the device at this time Mr.Subramaniam.
Me: So what is my option?
ATT: We do offer roaming plans while traveling for data,voice and text messages.
Me: That would be still more expensive.......
Me: Is there no unlock code at all for this device?
ATT: That is correct
Me: OK. Then I will buy a local to-go phone. Thanks !
I am never one to try any reasonable option....but this is the third time !!
Have you owned it for 6 months?

Yeah, it's been a while since I worked there. It is absolutely obscene to have to pay for a function of a piece of your own property. I'll try asking a friend of mine who still works there if there is any workaround on the horizon. It used to be just a matter of putting in the IMEI and clicking one button. This sucks.

Well as I said in my previous posts that you can save $10 by using the USB method. Two companies do it for $15. At least that method works and it's slightly cheaper for now.

I tried to contact ATT twice yesterday. They all asked if there is a AT&T logo on the phone, then if I paid the full price (which I didn't), And finally said my phone is not eligble.
Does anyone have a successful way of unlocking the Skyrocket. I just got one from my friend because he now has a new phone so he gave me his old one. I want to unlock it.

Read through the stickies at the tops of the Skyrocket sub forums.
There are several websites that promise you the unlock code for your IMEI after paying them, it works for some people and doesn't for the others..Google search for those websites..
Another option is to try the free unlock method found here in the general forum..
In my opinion,I would pay a few dollars on top of a ten to get an official unlock code..
