While I was travelling, I used another sim card in this phone, it worked for two days but then suddenly it prompted me for a lock code.. I left it over to my hotel room and my friend was playing around with it. he entered 10 times incorrect code. Now the phone is locked completely and i cant use any SIM. The phone itself it working only the network is locked it...

I have never come across this situation before. Now if you put a different SIM in it does it give an unlock prompt at all?

I think you should take it to the carrier or a shop. They may have tools to fix that. You can also try using the kdz updater to initialize the office but not sure if it would work.

hi
i'm italian and I don't speak English very well
i have a samsung sgh-i897 version 2.2 at&t sim-locked
i grant the root access with unlockroot 2.3
i try to unlock with Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool app in the market
when i select "Root Gen Codes",
i get an error message "SORRY, no codes found unknown error"
Why???
Biggio
Don't listen to him, he is new and doesn't know what he is talking about. Talk to user TRusello about this. It is because it is a I896 not I897, the unlock process is different, yet it is still free! He is right about the hard lock and all, but no need to pay when the code just has to be accessed and entered into the phone.
Is there any guide in the forum that I can use?
i try to unlock with Generate Unlock Windows.zip
but i have a problem also with this solution
failed to copy /efs/nv_data.bin to ./nv_data.bin --> Permission denied
------------------------------------------------------------------
finally i unlock the phone with the app "GALAXY S UNLOCK" downloaded to the Android Market!!!
my italian sim works perfectly!!!
Now i I wonder if they can install the European firmware on my phone without losing the unlock??
If the answer is yes, what program can I do this?

The simlock is permanent unless you get a bad rom that overwrights your efs/nv_data.bin.
There is no "European" version the SGH-i896,897 are North American released. You can take any rom and enter your own apn for your italian provider if its not present.
ok
thanks for the clarification
biggio
glad you got it fixed.
as to your permission denied issue, i believe you have to remount said partition. there is a method to do so using a hex editor that gives a nice bit of info on the whole process. the problem then becomes are the bits you must modify the same on the 896 and 897? this i do not know so i would not advise doing ANYTHING without making excessive amounts of backups, mainly of the nv_data file and the cache or md5 that goes with it (cant remember which it is but its in the same dir)
after reading your error again, i feel foolish for typing all that. you should have access to /mnt/sdcard if your sd is mounted by the phone and not the pc. there is a way of doing it without the symlinked folder but i forget the actual path and am too lazy to look it up.
to sum it up, it looks like your perms issue was because you needed to change your destination directory.

Hi!
I'm selling my Infuse and somebody ask me if the phone is unlocked. How do I know if the phone is unlocked? I know that is rooted with CM9, because I install it.
Thank you for the help.
Put a t mobile sim in it & see if it works (go to a t mobile store).
Or visit the ROM xda thread you flashed & read the op weather it unlocks it. My understanding was cm unlocks phone also

see my ISET page....on my sig
CM does not unlock your phone. There are instructions linked from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1610374 that explains how to do it. This is what I did, it worked fine. I've used my phone with three carriers on two continents without any problems.

Hm, Anyone know how I can input my SIM Unlock Code? I tried putting an invalid SIM (Rogers SIM and a Bell SIM) but I can't get to the SIM Unlock page. I also tried the 2945#*999# But it gets stuck at USSD Code running on the WIND Sim card and doesn't work on any other SIM.
Are you running a stock ROM? I did it with mine using the special menu, but I had to flash the stock ROM in order to do it.

Hi G2xer,
Thanks for sharing this great site. I am a Canadian Wind user. By following the instruction, I am able to get an unlock code to unlock my phone.
For all the Wind user out there,
If you are on CM7 based rom, you will need to restore back to stock rom first. Otherwise, you will not be able to get to the unlock screen.
Thanks,
Hi all,

So awhile back when I had my inspire I checked into unlocking it, and found the forum on here about the aahk advanced hack kit. I just recently started messing with it since I have a new phone. I've had some problems with rooting it. First time the process went about halfway through then quit. Now every time you try it the process will not cooperate and gives an error. Anyone have any suggestions for a noob like me to try and help in any way? Anything is appreciated.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
What was the output? And which version of AAHK?
What do you mean by output? And its an older version...probably from May 2012. I think there is a new version that came out in November 2012, i just don't know if I've bricked it by using the old kit.

Here is the video I used to root when I was on 2.3.3 Gingerbread. It's painless, but takes some waiting.
What is the error you are getting, exactly? D: and if you are on 2.3.3 try my link. ^.^ If you are on 2.3.5 or another version, try searching more hack kits for rooting that specific rom version.

Ok, step, by step, what did you do? And by output I mean what did AAHK say when it ran (both times). Also, what does it say when you reboot into hboot? (Reboot holding power and volume-down.)
Noob mistake I know, but I couldn't tell you. (Calc and physics has my brain fried...). I think I'm going to try the latest hack kit tonight and come back on here if I need help or get stuck. More than likely I'll be back.

Okay so here's what happened last night. I tried the new aahk (11092012) and it required a downgrade of the rom. Process went thru but however when it got to thr hboot menu I received a message telling me that the image was not found. I have a pic of the output where it tells me the downgrade is complete (if anyone wants to decipher it for me), all the way thru the hboot directions. Could this be a faulty sd card?

i think it just puts it in download mode so you could flash thru odin or adb.

Yeah that says Custom OS not unlock the phone and it was there before the update. If you are getting a prompt about unlocking, that's something different.
