SIM UNLOCK FREE ?
So for the last hour me and my buddies have been trying to unlock this s skyrocket . Is there a way to to do this and if so what is the program...? Should it be from a stock ROM I guessing I need root ? Please

Have you given Galaxy S Unlock? In the market? I myself have not tried it but its worth a shot.
Many...many threads about this already, but the short version is "no". No free unlock via software. You will be one of the few lucky ones if you can AT&T to give you the code. So, as of now, website unlock ($) is the only other option. You might want to do a search on it (forums) to see which websites give better results.
Thanks guys I was gonna try the app now for the hell of it .. I know there s is other posts on this subject I've been trying to read through them all thanks for the responds.. I will post back on how I get it unlocked if its via site or whatever if anyone has suggestions please post

Ive done it with 2 different phones... You call att up and tell them your traveling and give them the imei and they give an unlock code. It will be specific to the phone that's why it needs to be done that way

You don't "put" hspa on it. It's already there. We need more info. You mentioned you unlocked it. What carrier are you using?
Haha, more info bro, we need more info.

Someone please help.. I unlocked my bootloader with ez unlock and I flashed the rom solid ice, well I got the verizon system software message when the rom rebooted after the flash. So, I followed he instructions and went back to stock with ODIN 3.07 and re downloaded ez unlock and again it said unlock...my phone keeps saying it is unlocked and I go flash a rom and get that yellow triangle with the verizon message. NOTE: Prior to today, (which is bizarre because nothing has changed except I went back to stock and updated the phone to clear it because it was acting funky from too many different roms I guess) I have flashed several roms with the ez unlock and not gotten that message. Please Help! I will be grateful if we can figure out if I am banned from flashing roms by verizon even with an unlocked bootloader??????
Hope this made sense, I am stressed a lil:crying:

From what I read earlier, the new version of EZ Unlock isn't unlocking the bootloader. You need to find an older version.

Thank you so much for the suggestion. so, essentially I am getting a "false unlock"? I will attempt to look for an older version of the ez unlock and let you know how it goes. Thank you again
If you can't find it, give me your email and I will see if I can email it to you.

LOL Man I thanked ya twice!!! I am new at this and generally try not to post due to the fear of being BLASTED for a dumb question! Ha... By the way that worked like a charm. Thanks again....
JZ:good:
No worries bro, I was just busting you balls. I appreciate the thanks, but you didn't have to do it. ALOT of people helped me and continue to do so, so I really enjoy being able to help someone in return.
I know your worries about getting blasted, happens alot. Most of it is actually deserved though. Some people are too lazy to search and/or read before asking something that is 1 post below theirs. I, like you mostly lurk and read. If you are ever stuck though, someone is always here to help. Just pass by the negative posts and ignore them.
Good luck to you!

Just an fyi and hopefully save everyone some time and effort... There is a link in the play store under the description for the newest version that points to the thread on rootz where you can download version 1.2 directly from the developer

Finally decided to try a custom rom, I'm tired of waiting for verizon to update the S3 to Premium Suite Upgrade.
Is there any roms out there that are stable and have the multi window function, I'm not looking for anything fancy just simple but that includes all the features that were left iut with the 4.1.2 update.
If youccould point me to the right direction I'd appreciate it
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
please do some research and read. there are probably more than 5 of the roms that meet your criteria in the development section.
you need to try roms and read and see what meets your needs. there are guides and similar threads all over this forum.
there are some small features in some that arent available in others that will make people want certain roms.
put a little effort in, itll serve you well. its obvious youve put in 0% effort.
I was just hoping for some examples from users who have had experience.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
the threads of teh roms are filled with experiences, opinions and impressions. what more do you really want?
I mean, the titles of the roms and original posts have all the information youd really ever need.
we see these threads daily and they get closed. theres a wealth of info here. dig in.
5-7 posts down from this.....theres a 30 page thread dedicated to limiting posts like this.

OK I will suggest the 3 best ROMs IMO to you; Synergy, MOAR & Hyperdrive. They all have the multi window and are fast with many mods.

I wont respond with a jerk answer. Bro try synergy rom, hyperdrive rom, or beanstown rom. Im personally drawn to using any rom by deviant. Sons of android, deviant one, there's a couple. Not to mention the support in the threads are great. I recently tried synergy. Great rom, and great support aswell. Synergy is very very stable. Just make sure u read the o.p. prior to flashing anything. Don't forget to unlock your bootloader.

Thanks I appreciate it bro, I think ill give synergy a try but I'm kinda confused about rooting and unlocking the boot loader on my phone, which one do I do first to I root first or unlock the bootloader and do you know any method of doing both that are up to date and will work with 4.1.2?, I hate to bug but I'd appreciate it if you couod help me with this

I did but most if those root methods are for jellybean 4.1.1 I'm on 4.1.2.
You took the time to type back couldn't you have just said what I have to do first.

No instead of you half assing your search and wanting to be spoon fed you could have easily found it.

Not hard at all now was it.
That is because your question is asked and answered hundreds of times a week. It gets very repetaive.
Doing a google search for "4.1.2 root sch-i535" will give you plenty of results. Dont limit yourself to xda, check youtube and other sites as well. I spent a month on and off reserching methods and reading user errors before I rooted, unlocked and flashed. That is excessive but I wanted to minimize and fix any errors thst might come my way.

There is no substitute for reading about the software you are about to alter your $700 device with.
I am trying to set up a new APN on my Galaxy S after switching providers. I can set up the new APN successfully, but I cannot delete the old one, and it keeps reverting back to it no matter how many times I try to switch it back. There is a disable function, but it doesn't seem to work on the original APN. I can make calls and receive messages, but I cant access web. I called my new provider (Straight Talk/Tracfone) and they said it is because it isn't unlocked. When I called the old provider (T-Mobile) they said if I could receive calls the phone is unlocked.
Thanks for any help!

Anyone? Please and thank you!
Are you on the stock gingerbread? I think it pulled that stunt every reboot.
As Champ hints at, you really need to
Confirm that you have a SGH-T959V, not some other "Samsung Galaxy S" phone
Let us know exactly what firmware you are running (often in About phone)
Please remember XDA is primarily a forum for and about development and that there aren't a lot of people that frequent here any more. We'll try to help you as we can, but silence generally means that you've either posed an incomplete question, or nobody has an answer for you.

Read, read, and read again. Lumin30 did a great job in this thread....
Several options (as I see it).
1. Search xda for "super one click root" and run that from a pc.... some have had problems rooting this phone with it though.
2. Read that thread (first couple of pages for sure) & and flash a new kernel that will also give you root. I would recommend byran's subtle... it's linked in the thread.
