I bought an ATT Samsung Infuse to be used in South America (Surinam). Other than SIM unlocking this puppy, is there anything else that needs to be done to ensure that it is fully functional? Thanks.
It would be good if the OP's notifications setting was set to 'Instant email notification' by default.
There is pretty much nothing else. Anyway if you need sim unlocking the place i will send my phone to will sim unlock it for uou.
Good. Sound like I need to just get the unlock code.
BTW is there a system timer (measure how long the phone has been \ in service)?

Search here. There is already a script here that does the same and gives you the unlock code.
You can call ATT for lock code. They are required to give to you. Might take 48hrs. If it is an ATT brand phone.

Thanks for the suggestion. Is there a law that compels them to provide the code?

I dont' mind searching, however, could you provide a good keyword to search on? Thanks.
I'd like to avoid rooting or making changes until I've proved out the phone. Baby steps.

Thumb rule, any typical case: 6 months from date of release of phone (except iphone) + your account standing position with them.

I don't have the link to the thread, but find attached the script, and the screenshot associated. I have yellowed out the device id and unlock code.
You need to be rooted, I think.
Before I root my device, I would like to understand what the 'cost' (not in terms of $) would be. I am not concerned with warranty.
There seem to be inexpensive alternatives on eBay ($3) that will provide the Unlock code. I realize that this is counter to the spirit of modding, however, I have a thing about understanding what the options are before making a decision.
I appreciate the responses and the help that I have received. Thank you

Ok there are a lot of intelligent people, developers and what not on this forum and I am very sure someone has to know... is it possible to reset the unlock code tries on our android devices? We are able to do so much do I really hope it is possible (im asking this for my Motorola Backflip). I have no intention of rooting or unlocking my infuse right now.

Dont mean to be mean on you but.... why did you post something for your motorola backflip here
You come asking for intelligent people and good devs... if you ask on the Infuse forum.... probably they know about the Infuse right...
Still you probably are spreading the question on various forums to see if you get help on any? idk :S
And far as i know if you exceed the limit of tries it will "freeze" the phone and you gotta go get it unfrezed or get the freeze code to unfreze it lol and im not sure ALL phones have a limit in trys.... anyways... they are almost always about 10 tries... why would yo use them all?? are you GUESSING the unlock code??
Pay 20 dlls to have a database searcher business get you the code...
here try this one:
http://www.gsm-unlock.com/
or this one:
http://www.gsmliberty.net/shop/
or hey why not:
http://www.gsmunlock.com/
But dont guess the code... its 99.99% you will use those 10 tries if you guess it... and also only samsung hides its network codes withing each phone as far as i know... so call motorola... call att call tmobile or whoever carrier you got on the moto backflip and ask for the code they should be able to guide you man.
Hope its something.

Hi
search for Motorola Android Free Unlock method, Possible to unlock Motorola android phones, counter blocked too.
Hi, so jimbridgman and I have been working on the Boot Loader unlock stuff, and may have an idea. It seems to easy to be true but is worth a shot.
Now, this means we need someone to test it. Here is what we are asking for:
1. at least 1 person to test, we will not need more than 1 person for this initially, but if it fails we will likely need more so feel free to volunteer anyways and we can renegotiate the terms for a later test
2. you must have access to a computer with fastboot and be familiar with how to use it.
3. You must be familiar with how to get yourself out of a general softbrick, such as a bootloop.
4. You will be paid 20% or $150 of the bootloader unlock bounty (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837363), whichever is lower if and only if this method of unlocking succeeds.
5. If this fails, which it most likely will, You will almost definitely be HARD BRICKED. That means you now own an expensive paper weight. That said you will likely be able to get a replacement through AT&T if you are with them so make sure you know your options.
6. You must be on ICS or Be willing and know how to upgrade to it.
7. Your phone must be a U.S. AT&T model

You must also fully understand that we do not take responsibility for what happens to your phone and we are well aware that it will likely brick. you CANNOT hold us or anyone else responsible if you are unable to restore or get a replacement.
That said we will do our best to help you unbrick if possible, but it likely will not be.
Please reply here if you are interested and Jim or I will PM you with more info. feel free to ask any questions you have here as well.
I'm in. PM me in you need to, I have nothing to lose, and (hopefully) everything to gain! :good:
Thanks lkrasner!
So this will test to see if we are even able to use that BL we found, just so that everyone has an inkling of what we are doing.
If your still looking for volunteers Im in
I have fastboot on both windows and ubuntu
I have recovered from many soft bricks
I am willing to sacrafice my phone if I need to
I've got to do a bit of charging - didn't realize I let my phone power off with no juice, so I'll report back in about an hour or so... Sorry.
Edit: I will PM Jim and lkrasner my results. Stay tuned guys.

Thanks guys. We are still tweaking. We did a test run today and it did not brick nor unlock. So... back to the drawing board.

I'm in when y'all are done with tweaking. Building a Linux server for my daughter's school. It's going too good I have to have some excitement over the weekend.
...
Can you tell us what you tried or a simplified run down?
mind sharing the details & result?
Without getting too involved in details, basically the awesome developers here made up a flashable .zip using the NS Bootloader. Flashed fine, no brick, but as Jim mentioned above, still locked. Also, as mentioned by Jim, he and the other guys are still tweaking things, so please... EVERYONE... stay patient and don't start getting all worked up just yet. I'll leave the rest of the updates to him, lkrasner, alteredlikeness, and/or cogeary.
And guys, please don't explode this thread with asking for updates, when they come, you will be informed as soon as they are discovered. Just stay calm, patient, and keep fingers and toes crossed...
Thanks for letting us know what's going on. I'm just an info junkie. Its all for the bigger picture. Plus when I talk about it with people like my pops who's been using Linux and embedded systems since the beginning I can give a little run down. Who knows maybe a fresh idea might pop out. Again thanks for the update and all the work.

Once you have flashed have you tried doing the fastboot commands to attempt to retrieve the device id and unlock keys that are needed for the Moto unlock bootloader site? Maybe the NS Bootloader is locked but has the ability to be unlocked via this site. Just a thought.

I was thinking the same thing.
I am no expert, but that seems highly unlikely. considering that moto doesn't support unlocking our device, and it is their web site you need to get the codes from.
The new LG G Pro 2 have a nice feature called Knock Code.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrheE8e3FSA
I think it's very useful. Is it possible to port this feature to nexus 5? Maybe someone already working on it?

Alright, so the long version. What I wanted to point is that none of the custom kernels available supports a feature similar to the one in the OP. Apparently neither of you two have watched the video or understood what feature we are talking about, but instead jumped at the TS, implying he didn't search in advance to his question.
This is not, I repeat not, about a simple tap2wake, knock2wake, sweep2wake or whatever you want to call it. This is about tapping the screen in a user-defined pattern to wake AND UNLOCK the phone in one step. Which is quite a bit more cool than just tap2wake, so I would like to see it happen as well.

I've seen the video. The "Knock code" won't work without knock on / tap2wake / slide2wake / doubletap2 wake etc.
Surely it would be an obvious and logical step to find the feature CLOSEST to what you are looking for and move forward from there?! I've added a question mark but I have made this rhetorical by following up with an exclamation mark.
Porting the code without the "on" is pointless. No one will port this from scratch. You need to find the groundwork first and from there, so it can be developed.
edit > "please search" is not "jumping" and I have no idea what a TS is.
I give up. It's nice to see XDA still lives up to its expectations though.
If anyone has any helpful information here, I will still be watching this thread.

I understand your concern, but I respectfully submit that it is appropriate and helpful for senior members to provide guidance with respect to the rules, customs, and best practices of the board. I assure you that even if their tone sounds curt, the mentors here are well-intentioned. Their objective: to keep the forum as lean and efficient as possible. Such efforts are necessary because many, many members fail to search before posting.
So I take it I have been reported then?
Anyway, are we finally OT-raping this thread to a point where it will be closed by some over-zealous mod, so that this great and valid feature request will starve unnoticed by real devs with skills other than "duh go search you kacknoob!", who might even accomplish something here?
Or can we let this alone now, after I said that I am done trying to be helpful here? Or as some other members might call it, "apply some logic", because it only seems logical that off-topic movie talk doesn't belong here...

I'll answer the rhetorical question, for the benefit of others who do not know - none of them do. Hence why OP's original question was, and still is, valid.
I too would like to know if anyone is working on Knock Code for the N5, as opposed to the Knock On/Knock Knock/Tap To Wake/whatever you want to call the current implementation (which does NOT support the tap pattern unlock feature).
If anyone is going to work on it then I'd happily donate because I love Knock On and Knock Code would be even more awesome.
I find that OPPO have even cooler features - screen off gestures.

We need to port this on nexus 5 somehow.
I sure would like this as well!
OP/TS/Whatever TLA you want to be called: Thank you for asking this question. Pay no attention to people who feel the need to strong-arm you for no reason other than to make them feel like they're important.
Greetings,
I see manny dramma about unlocking bootloader on nokia devices.
Nokia statement is NO OFFICIAL METHODE TO UNLOCK them, even they server is up and runing
I am offering unlock of bootloader, no matter which nokia.
nokia 2,5,6,6.1,7,7 plus,8 are supported models.
How to do it?
mod edit - content removed
I will calculate 5 free signatures (unlock.bin), if you are lucky you will get it, but hurry up.
When free signatures over, there is paid way (cheap)
WHOA 0 (zero) FREE SIGNATURE LEFT, only paid at now
BR
The method is working, the performer is honest. I recommend to those in need of quick unblocking.

Yes you can
Can we trust someone who is only interested in charging for anything? What a way to help the forum partners if you are not able to supply links to stock firmware if it is not paying
I only know way to flash is not free, so no way of free flash. When i get firmware i will UPLOAD IT FREE!
In next 2 days expect it
Can flash stock rom or update for free
so how much for unlock my bootloader and which payment method?
I suspect this of being a scam. There's no real proof or any kind of guarantee that the person's not going to just run away with your funds. He's charging diffrent amounts, asking and seeking information about region you're currently living in and basing his prices about it.
First of all I DONE FREE 5 UNLOCKS.
People posted IN MY THREAD.
SECONE, FOR PAYMENT, IT IS DONE AFTER BL UNLOCK.
And yes, price deepends is it paypal, skrill or other thing. So go away with asshaming people.
All are happy to unlock it
I hasten to dispel all doubts. A man really honestly does his deed.No deception and espionage. I am very pleased with the result of his work.

Rather than payment method, you could instead give the complete guide for free and people, if they like they'll donate you.. that's how the process goes... You'll also gain a lot of respect in the forum

Hit up TMOhelp on twitter and ank for perm. sim unlock. That's what I did and they got it sorted, and my phone isn't completely paid yet. I told them that I wanted to run the new dev preview of 11 and they hooked me up. I've been a customer forever and have been in good standing as well. It is their option, but TMOhelp on twitter has been the best source to get this done.
