i have searched through the forum for ths particular problem and all threads give same unhelpful answer.Go to eBay and and buy unlock code". I own a telus network locked optimus one p500h rooted and costom rom up. i previously owned a Samsung galaxy gi purchased locked to bell mobility canada. Managed to get gio unlocked through "adb" way from gio forum on xda. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335548
I know and everyone else knows that the devs on this site are ridiculously brilliant in what they do, so why hasnt anyone came up with a mod to get the unlock code for a device as popular or as supported in every other way as this? The gio isnt special minus its 800 mhz cpu and being samsung. the dev in that forum used some sort of adb shell to create a img file and opened it with a hex editor and voila extracted the unlock code. Im sure creating a custom rom is way more difficult. Please someone look into this. Thanks.
hear, hear!
The method for Gio works perfectly! I wish someone who really understands this things would find the equivalent for Optimus...

Hello there,first of all thanks for all your hard work,you guys ROCK,i did follow the insructions on how to root the ATT samsung galaxy SGH i927,it worked fine(got superuser and busybox),but i still cant get it to work on a different network here overseas,it keeps asking me for the unlock network code,can you please help??
rooting has nothing to do with "sim unlocking" a phone so it can be used to work on another carrier....some rooting methods have a step where you can unlock the phone but it would have to depend on the phone. You can either purchase a code online from ebay, third party websites or see if there is a free method on xda.
Thanks for your reply,actually i did root the samsung galaxy captivate (i897),and it is working fine with the local carrier(here overseas),so why wouldnt the i927 work as well???do you have any links to free sim unock for the SGH i927 please??
the unlocking method for the captivate isnt the same as the glide I believe so I don;t think there is a free method to unlock it, not as of yet anyways.
Is there a free unlock code for the I927 could really use thanks

Hello guys !
I have this phone T-Mobile Galaxy SIII LTE Edition SGH-T999L.
My phone is Network Locked. I did couple of things to it..like tried
the free unlocking method...by *#197328640# method...going to the ServiceMode..and all that...but no chance
Also tried flashing the T999 Modem on my T999L....but then i was getting No Connectivity+IMEI "unknown"+ "ServiceMode was Blank".
I was adviced not to flash the T999 Rom on T999L as it will brick my phone. So i sticked to the Advice and didnt flashed it.
But i need to unlock it as soon as possible...So i was searching for it...and i have seen couple of ways to unlock...like...
there are some sites who provide unlock codes or unlock softwares like this one :
http://www.fastgsm.com/en/samsung/t9...code/unlocking
Do u think i can use it to unlock my phone..by paying...?
Or someone else knows a good place to purchase the code from ?
Thanks in Advance :good: .
Special Thanks to :

GN folks.
mms?
What did it take for you to get mms working?
I have tried everything I can find and I have gotten it to work momentarily but then it will automatically revert back to the Sprint settings.
Even Go SMS Pro will reset to Sprint settings.
I bought a galaxy s5 used and found out that it is sim locked through sprint. After trying to unlock it I also found out that sprint is one of a carrier that u can`t unlock! I was told that it can be rooted to work with other carriers and I think that xda has instructions on how to do this. I`m not a programmer or developer but I do investigate and try my best to learn. It would be appreciated if someone could help me.
Thanks Vesten

View this forum in a browser on PC or on your phone,,look for the XDA search bar that says "search all forums".
In that bar, type:
"Sprint Galaxy S5 root"
Then you will find what you are looking for, you'll also find more information and possibly custom development for you device.
