I have my SR rooted and have a custom rom on. If I call up att and ask for an unlock code (been a member for over 8 years and have gotten pleanty before) will they be able to see I rooted my phone and prevent me the code?

First, I believe many ppl tried to call AT&T for an unlock code and got denied because they claim that this model skyrocket is specifically designed for at&t network only. (Probably an excuse to not give)
second, how would they find out that your rooted if they are either going to send it through a mail, e-mail, or over the phone?

They will not know you rooted just by imei. They are not giving codes either, try your luck and please update us! I spent 2.5 hours, 4 AT&T reps, no luck.

Hey....any update on the whole unlocking business? Kkiran, did you get the code from the site you said was have delays....?
i have been sitting with a locked SR for days now. no luck...
Btw, check out the T989 development thread for a post on unlocking the T989..there seems to be some activity happening there about the filesystem.
"I'm sorry but we are unable to get an unlock code for this phone at this time due to the at&t exclusivity aggreement with Samsung. It does not show a date at this time all it shows is that there is no eligible code. Sorry for any inconvenience." -at&t technical support, February 12th.

Get the code from here http://cellunlocker.net
Once you pay for that code pop in your tmo sim and turn the phone on. Enter the unlock code and you're good to go. Then flash a tmo radio from the t989 section. And I think you need to enter a T-Mobile apn. Not sure.

Rooting won't do anything. You have to pay. Use the link I posted on the last page.

Thanks!!! Kachman!!!! :good:
I started rooting it but when I tried to take backup using ClockWorkMod Recoverry, I'm getting an error:
Can't mount /sdcard
I don't have a SD card. Can't I root if I don't have one?
Can I simply get out of it and it won't cause any damange to the phone?
Good thing i have att but I've never in my life had an android phone where I had to pay to unlock it that sucks

This is posted in several threads but I just want to say that I used kachman's method of unlocking the Sky Rocket i727 and successfully done. I can confirm that it is permanent unlock solution for $10 cheapest around, and that it still works after flashing different radio/baseband or roms including ICS. If anyone wants to get this phone unlock for cheap, go to kachman, he's the man. Thanks and enjoy
Sounds like a plan..and Cheap too
Can you provide more Info kachman
Can you provide more Information on this kachman Guy or the web site how to contact him. I want to unlock my phone too. I would really appreciate that. Thank you
I can confirm this as well. perhaps try and send him a pm.

Sounds peculiar for sure. Refurbished is highly unlikely. Even at Bestbuy if a brand new phone breaks they don't have refurbishes available for a while.

Try a factory reset

Questions never, ever belong in Development, no matter what the reason. I understand why it's done, but it will not be allowed to stay there, sorry.
Sorry didn't know not to ask questions there. I bought the phone new at the Verizon on launch day. I thought it ment unlocked bootloader, at least it did with my HTC Sensation. Wasn't sure if anyone else had that or what?

Then you need to review the posting rules for Development. If you didn't create it, it doesn't belong there - questions belong in Q&A. Sorry to belabor the point, but there are far, far too many questions being posted in Development, particularly by Verizon customers.

Call US cellular and have them run the IMEI to check it.
Unfortunately, as far as unlocking it and putting it on AT&T, I'm currently not seeing any unlocks for that to make it possible.

Honestly, after doing some searching... the people in this thread link below may be of the most help to you. Phone unlocking and flashing isn't my most knowledgeable subject... and according to the thread below, it's somehow possible to unlock this CDMA phone to a GSM network... which would include AT&T. So, I wish you good luck. And maybe someone more knowledgeable on this subject will answer you here.

According to the thread, you must be rooted and be on a 4.1.2 AOKP ROM for it to work.

My suggestion would be sell the us cellular one and get the one you need. You can unlock and flash but you will be limited to 3g data speeds. Your calling and texting should be ok.

And that's most likely what I will do/amd doing already, but in the mean time I would like to be able to use it. So I found and easy root methed and the phone is now rooted. because its cdma does it still need *unlocked* ?

Make a backup of the stock ROM to your internal and external memory if you have an SD card in it. Go to that thread link I provided you earlier and see if it works for you.
You'll have to flash a ROM such as the one the thread talks about to get the menu.

Hi!
I need to use my sgs2 i727 outside us and called AT&T for unlock code and they provided me but it didn't work. I call them back, told them again the EMEi and they provided the same code..which as I told doesn't work.
Can somebody, please, give me a solution.

op's question to vague
are you on stock
exactly whats steps did you take in entering the code
answer could be in the 1stop sticky in the guide/info section
AT&A are bunch of asses when it comes to unlock codes , they will come up with million excuses not to unlock your device...
Search for 3rd party companies online who can sell you the unlock code for your IMEI,it can cost you 10-30$ but well worth it of you really need your device outside of at&t.
Is your device rooted? If so u will need to return to stock firmware for it to work hope u get it going
