i am going to be switching to tmobile from cincinnati bell, but cincinnati bell says they do not have a way to unlock the phone (which i believe is bs). my question is has anyone successfully unlocked their phone? i was thinking i could flash an unlocked rom but i couldnt find one. any help would be greatly appreciated!
bump. need asap please!
Just google "XT720 unlock" and pick from one of the many unlock services available.
Haven't seen any for free but they work, you need to provide your IMEI and will gt an unlock code back.
ps. The carrier can unlock your phone, they are just choosing not to.

hey, I tried to unlock this cell phone (SGH-T679) for few days now
but I failed to unlock it
it's really tough to unlock it i guess
Tried using several unlock Apps from android market but they didnt work ;(
and I even bought a code from a website but it didnt work either lol
nah.. can someone please help me out to unlock this phone?
it is originally from T-mobile but now i'm using Fido (in canada) ... so have to unlock it ASAP
If the phone is from T-Mobile, and you are using it successfully on another carrier, then it is already SIM unlocked.
I got this device yesterday, but it's locked and i can't use it on my network. Is there any way to unlock this device without paying someone to do it for me? I know that Samsung Android devices are often very easy to unlock, but there is no much info about this one.

There is an app on playstore you can try that.... A user previously asked me abt the unlock and i searched on net for it but found nothing.... So you would need to pay bucks to network unlock
Why So Serious?!
I've been searching for a number of hours now, and I haven't found the answer I need. I have a rooted Galaxy Avant from T-Mobile with TWRP installed, everything is backed up and ready for any customer firmware to be installed. I need to get this phone unlocked. T-Mobile says they won't unlock it because I haven't had an account with them for over a year, but it was a prepaid service plan and I bought the phone outright. They just refuse to provide me a code. I understand that even if I HAD a code I would have to flash the MetroPCS ROM and use IT to input the unlock, but what I'm hoping for is a way to unlock with a customer ROM or something like that so I can use it with Cricket. Everywhere I've looked has either lead me in the exact wrong direction and tried to get me to purchase an unlock code, or it has only told me how to input an unlock code I already have. I'm fairly knowledgeable about all of this, but I'm stumped. Anyone who can give me a hand with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hi !

You currently cannot unlock any US version of this phone.
Never
so this phone is impossible to aquire root permission ?
Yes. It is impossible to root (unlock bootloader) currently. This phone may never be rooted. Brought one for my spouse, she does not need root. When I found out that it cannot be rooted, I passed on buying one for myself. Nice phone.
Yeah but its about the challenge of discovering the formula. You guys always find away when we get a good thread going, and put are ideas together.
Plus got rid for of my verizon firmware and flashed the usa unlocked

at least i could get rid of all the verizon bloatware and most of samsung bloatware too but phone really not compatible with other network providers, it prompts me for verizon network unlock code if i put a diferent sim card att and sprint.
You need a sim unlock to use a different carrier. Check with Verizon. People that purchase this phone should not expect it will be bootloader unlocked.
Well that sucks, but your wrong I did network unlock without any codes, I just changed the apn settins, i didn't pay nothing to no one. And it is possible to unlock bootloader if u got 65 dollars, any Samsung usa variant from s9 and up https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...unlock-for-samsung-us-canada-devices.4215101/ or here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/sampwnd-usa-model-bl-unlock-info-u-u1-w.4201689/ , but I can't afford it so im going to have to figure it out on my own like usual, plus I only payed 15 dollars for this phone and the screen is already cracked, I know how to replace it but Samsung screens are such a pain and expensive, im waiting to find something worth wild on offer up so I can finish trashing this one.
