Hello, I'm new to this forum. I'm a n00b when it comes to Android lol. My Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate got messed up. My friend rooted it and flashed a ROM on it because I didn't know how to do it. Now, when I turn it on, it won't startup. So, I'm getting my friend to fix the problem because I don't know what to do. Anyway, I have a spare LG Optimus One handy that I wanna use in the meantime. But I don't know what to do. I'm not sure if I have to unlock it or not. When I turn it on, it says "No Service." Does this mean that its locked? I bought an unlock code online. But when I try unlocking it, I'm not too sure what to do. Can somebody help me please? And if its unlocked already, how do I get it to work? I put in my SIM card from my Fascinate into the Optimus One but nothing happens. It still says no service. Can somebody help me, please!? I don't know what to do and I'm freaking out! I'm such a n00b when it comes to this stuff. I don't know anything about Androids lol.

I dont remember the code.
Try 2945#*509# and then enter the unlock code in the pop-up.

Hi all,
A little while ago I screwed up one of the software tweaks in the app 'Galaxy S Tweaker', then my phone would not boot. So I decided I might as well attempt to flash an I9000 Froyo ROM (can't remember the exact one at them moment, but either JP3 or JM5, I think.) and it is running great! except for one pretty big thing...my phone doesn't work as a, well, phone. It simply says: 'no service' and I'm obviously not able to send/receive text messages or calls.
Before I had 'bricked' my phone, I had it unlocked and running fine on the Telus network here in Canada. (I used the popular method as detailed in a different XDA thread, but it would seem as though Samsung has patched that, because I tried that method again, but to no avail.)
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Thanks,
Dylan
Does anybody have any ideas? I'm kinda desperate, amy help at all would be appreciated
I would also like to note that I have tried 2 online unlocking services, and BOTH of them have come up negative, saying they can't retrieve an unlock code for my device!
Any idea's as to what's going on?
I have a LG g-slate that a friend got at a pawn store. it was pattern locked and he thought it would be a easy wipe like most android phones. he couldn't do it and i tried thinking the same thing. after searching around couldnt find anything. wanting to know if anyone knows how to do it. i can fastboot into it but not sure if that will even help. he got a good deal on it for $100 so he would like to keep it. Thanks for any help.

I have the same issue, my son put a pattern lock on the tablet and I don't know to what google account it is set to..Did you solve this?
Guys I went out last night and cant remember much Im curious to actually knowing whether or not I did take my mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 out. (i think i did)
anybody know any ways to help find my phone. am gutted ive lost it.
haha
I got in at 3am and tried to call it, and it rang out
now it goes straight through to voicemail
thanks
the main question is did you have any kind of security gps on it and as we gs2 users are aware you battery has died mate. gutted to here that but without some form of location fix you may have lost it for good.
If i get it blocked,, it can not be used right?
and there is no solution to change imei for this phone if am correct ?
thanks
Go to the market on your pc and try installing Plan B. Hopefully it hasn't been wiped yet.. Goodluck!

Short story:
Got phone off ebay. ESN is clear. Had Android 2.3 on it. Took it to Sprint store yesterday and they said its not right. Something is missing according to them. Didnt tell me want but that they couldnt activate it. Brought it home flashed completely stock 2.3 img files and let it update its self to ICS. Brought it back and still doesnt work. Different tech today says that it is not letting them into the programming menu ##786# so they cant activate it or assign it to my phone number.
Question:
What do I need to flash to be able to get the programming menu back?
Would rather fix it then have to send back to ebay seller.

Using samsungsimpleDL and fastboot.
The closest Ive gotten is http://community.sprint.com/baw/docs/DOC-2352 using *#*#72786#*#*. It is asking for an MSL there.
Called Sprint and let the guy try to activate it. He gave me a new code *#*#976879#*#* that git me in and we changed the MSID and phone now works.
So who knows if if was the phone or simply needing the right sprint tech. Thanks for the questions you asked. It helped me search for more answers and ideas.
I've searched but I can't really find anything. In the developer options there is an oem unlock but other than that I'm not sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated.
It's clear.....

Root is always worth it. The bright side the phone does function pretty adequately for what it is. Decent battery life. Good Luck.
Out of curiosity, did you ever come up with a method? I'm trying to recover data from a system crash reset and have been told it's a lost cause because this phone is unrootable. Did you find a way? Would you care to share?
I did not. Sorry. It's unfortunate it's not a bad phone, sorry to hear about your issues.

If it is a Verizon phone or a StraightTalk phone, you won't be able to root the device.

I found a TracPhone model of this device, functional, with no SIM card in it, laying in the grass at a local park. Does anyone know anything about rooting or flashing it?

Not worth messing with unless it's unlocked. You'd have to pay monthly for service for a year just to switch carriers.
TracFone is good as a secondary line. I still use them for that on that exact model phone. Right now my G7 is out of power. If it breaks or the service goes down, I still have this Tracfone. TF does honor the unlock policy but they are very strict about it.
I do not know about rooting it. I expected it would never be rootable when I bought it. After digging into some cheap tablets over the last week, I decided I will never run an unrootable device. Those have hidden SIM cards and any attempt to access or disable that SIM causes the user data to be wiped. It's anyone's guess what info they are collecting, how, or who they are sending it to. I suspect this Tracfone does the same thing.
But... if it can be rooted, I'll do it.
Anyone able to get me the Bluetooth app for LG rebel 4? I want to try install it on LG Classic flip.
