hey..
my LG P500 Optimus One with Froyo 2.2 is sim locked in Vodafone RO, and won't accept other service providers.
Is it possible to unlock the service provider without generated codes using IMEI?
VODAFONE charges 40e for unlock code (and others, about the same price), and i bought the lg for less than that, on a 2 years contract.
rooting and installing custom fw will unlock my lg?
please help. thanks in advance.

In this thread guy needs help "How to enter unlock code" into his device. If I tried enter this code, my original FW from LG said me, that is not possible do that, because of "Device is not customized". So, I think, that flashing of original FW can unlock phone.
On other side - operators can lock phone in their network based on IMEI and because IMEI is not changed during flashing, it's possible, that id will not work.
I would like to test it for you, but I haven't locket phone. Here are sellers not allowed to sim-locking their devices.
//Edit:
I just readed some stuff around and it seems that this information is stored into GSM Module firmware.
Here is Czech thread (google translator) were guy trying to solve sim-locking. I just posted him PM if he have somewhere on net how-to manual for do that.

thanks..
it's simple to enter unlock code (just call 2945#*500#) and it's simple to get unlock code for about 30$ ) that's not what i'm after.
i think it's foolish to pay 30$ for a code to unlock a phone which i paid about 40$. (why did i make a 2 year contract then...?)
interesting stuff those cz guys try. ill be watching that thread..
PS: i officialy hate google for not implementing proxy settings :|
I don't think your going to unlock your device with a custom firmware. In the others Android's LG cells, it wasn't possible.
There is a "simple way", you can try to find an app that allow you to remove the battery to swap your sim card. There was one for the LG GW620.
You can also wait to buy an cheap unlock code on internet, or a "Magic Sim" (I'm not so sure it's going to work, but it's 5 bucks).

swapping sim is an interesting idea..
i tried it with no success. you don't need an app.
it's true, if you remove the battery the phone restarts, when plugged in.
but if you keep android "busy" he won't restart (i kept my finger on the screen and slided between pages while i removed the battery and swapped the sim)
no luck the phone doesn't say service provider locked like when i restart with the simcard in, it just doesn't register the network "Emergency calls only".
The lockscreen says "no SIM card"
it doesn't change when i swap again with the original.
thank's for the tips..
i'll dig up on magic sim. see what's that about.
Same here.
Would really like to find a way to network unlock the P500.
Paying the phone's price all over again isn't fair.
Not having root access isn't fair either, but security comes first.

Thanks god that in our country doesn't exist any kind of this stupid thinks like operator's network locking. It was prohibited by law.
It is really hard to find some tool, that can this do. Especially if this stuff are stored in GSM module. You need special technique and resources to reach goal.
Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie with smart phones and a newbie with the P500... hens "I don't know if what I will say applies" in unlocking the phone.
A funny thing happened to me the other day - the phone was charging in the USB port of my computer - it was not in "removable memory" mode. The computer had to be rebooted and I forgot to unplug the phone from the USB port.
Guess what... I had no more service after rebooting the computer - had to call up tech department of the cell company. They made me manually choose their company in the settings menu. Don't know why but the cell phone company info was "unprogrammed" after reboot.
So as I said - maybe this will give you guys (who know more than me for the moment) a lead to finding the solution of this thread's question.
Cheers !

Salut. Si eu sunt roman, am avut telefonul blocat in vodfone si ma intrebam acelasi lucru.
Hi im from Romania too and i used to have the same problem. I sent the phone to a knone cellphone hacker from Iasi and he unlocked my phone for 30 lei (around 10 bucks).the phone had a lot of that vodafone bulls*** with vodafone default homepage, vodafone app for i-dont-know-what and romanian android menu.so after i recived the phone from that guy it was unlocked.but i think he might flashed a new OS because my phone was empty, like new ,and i loosed the default romanian language.,and it was having a newer version of sofware on him.it was like a neverlocked phone xD.So i think if you will flash another rom, like that one for europe in your case ,i think it will unlock your phone.oh yea ,and that bastards from VodafoneRomania asked me for 50 euros !!!!! I i'ved unlocked it for around 10 euros ) .
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
So bad for the SIM swapping, I was using an app to avoid the cell to restart, and It was well working on the LG Eve GW620. But after, LG has given me a Free unlocked LG Optimus (here in France, LG has posted a news to give Free optimus one. I was just asked to fill a long form to make a review between the Eve and the Optimus).
Something good to do would be to ask someone to monitor using adb the functions used when unlocking the P500 using an official networking code.
Did any one to free unlock a LG P500 locked on Vodafone RO ???
I know that there is a GSM Unloking Tool called Vygis that can unlock this phone by flashing it with a unloked firmware...but I don't have it.
Any other options???
I too would like to share my experiences with locked phones.
My Lg optimus one was locked (untill last week) to a spanish mobile provider (movistar); at first i tryed to flash an unbranded firmware, then a custom rom but with the same result: locked phone.
The reason for this is that unlike certain "dumbphones" which can be unlocked via s/w, my Lg was locked through imei. In these cases there are only two solutions(some one correct me if I'm wrong), ask the mobile provider to unlock it (not always possible) or buy un unlock code online.
I used the second method, it cost me just above 10euros and it was realy fast.
Havent had any sort of problems what so ever and now i can use any sim card.
I've bought my P500 for 620 RON (145~150 Euro) form o guy from the internet (a site similar to eBay but only available in Romania),new, not used, already unlocked, with LG Warranty (not Vodafone Warranty, even that i've got the full pack (phone + silicon/rubber case) )... And Yes it was blocked to Vodafone network, but that guy unlocked it in same price (something like a bonus)...
I'be bought it from here: hxxp://www(dot)okazii(dot)ro/catalog/51741498/lg-optimus-one-p500.html
This phone can be unlocked in services, for around 9~17 Euro, but I'mnot sure about the Vodafone Warranty, you might lose it ...

2945#*500# doesn't work on my phone. i am using CM7 Rom by Mik
I came across a site which is selling LG unlock code for €8.00 but i don't know how to enter the code.
And also when i insert a sim from different network, it doesn't ask for unlock code or doesn't even show that my phone is restricted. Only says no network. Is that because i am no using LG branded rom?
I took the phone to a unlocking shop and they said they could unlock the phone by connecting it to a computer. By changing some firmware details. But i am not too sure about this. I am using Mik's rom and i don't want them to change anything around. I have custom recovery installed and i little afraid about this. And i am also afraid that after they change the firmware will i be able to flash new ROM? and if i flash new ROM will that lock my phone again?
So if you guys have any idea, please share

Hello
I recently purchased a Samsung Focus from the US.
How do I unlock the device so that I can use it in my home network ?
I searched the forums and the only solution seems to buy unlock code from a eBay seller.
Is there any other better/cheaper alternative ?
Also what will this ChevronWP7 tool do ? Its just to unlock so that I can install external apps not via the Microsoft Marketplace ?
I am a .NET developer and would like to explore the WP7 features and build few apps.
So in that case is it recommended that I apply the ChevronWP7 patch ?
TIA.
Did you pay full price for the Phone? i think at&t should provide it for free, unless its a Exclusive device, then you need to go Ebay
actually i got it from a seller in eBay. He said its without contract but not unlocked.
So if I contact AT&T will they give the unlock code ?
the one seller in eBay who provides these unlock codes charges too much now $42.
How good is this FastGSM anyone tried ? searched on youtube too.
Infact that youtube video comes first when you search for "unlock samsung focus"
Any one tried that ?

The phone must be ATT branded, otherwise it may not be in their database.
You need the IMEI of the phone, press *#06# and it will display. You also need to have their service for over 90 days (Go Phone is fine.) When asked for a reason tell them your going abroad (I say England or China) and want to use a local sim card. The process can take awhile. You likely need a non ATT sim card to enter the code.

If your a new to them then no, you need to wait 90 days. If you have been an active customer over 90 days they will give you one unlock code a year. You do not need to have used that phone with them 90 days to get the code, its just that you need to be a customer for at least 90 days.
Its cheaper not to take a contract and just go with an eBay code if you plan to use another service.

I would think so. Give him the phones info and have him call, once he has the code and gives it to you, you just need to slip in a non ATT sim and it should ask for the code.
what about debrand? i got a quantum, and i live in italy...the network works, but very badly...i can only reach 3g and no hspa at all, in places where usually i had good signal with my omnia 7..so i need to debrand to make everything better. the problem is that the phone switch always between gsm and 3g and the battery drains very quickly...
I'm afraid they will not give you the code for Samsung even if you tell themthat you leave the States. Regarding Focus S they could give it, I didn't try after being turned down with iPhone. After looking for it since November 7th, I have unlocked with these guys: http://www.samsungimeiunlock.com/samsung-focus-s-unlock.

Hi, I have a Galaxy Nexus locked to O2 UK just bought, do you think where could I have it unlocked? I need it asap to work on Vodafone.
I think it's a bit too early to say. Generally speaking you can do it... but u have to wait a little bit that things came out.l
Sorry to be off topic...but how do you like the phone? Does USB mass storage work? Give us something!!
Thanks. You are right. I have tried ALL possible unlock sites. No one have it. Maybe someone can hack the software.
@lowandbehold:
Sorry for the late reply but I was busy unlocking it. I have literally tried all unlock sites and no joy. Galaxy Nexus: It is my first Android and is hard to evaluate it comparing previous version of Android. I like the feeling having it in hand, although the plastic is not so great comparing with iphone it is still better than other Samsung phones. Being used with iPhone the menu could be a bit demanding but I think that this would be good after all. The display is great and this is the thing that made me change the iPhone. I didn't test USB mas storage yet. Sorry.
Galaxy Nexus unlocked
Finally,
I have unlocked my Galaxy Nexus.
After several attempts to unlock my phone, I've got 5 refunds from different specialized websites. (some of them prompt others after claiming it) Finally, this morning, as previously promised in an earlier email, samsungimeiunlock announced me that they have the code. Now my phone is unlocked, the whole thing took 10 minutes.

Unlock your Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket Instantly
I've notice that there are free apps in the Market that are able to unlock some versions of the Samsung Galaxy S series. Unfortunately after much research I forced to the conclusion that the Skyrocket is not one of the supported devices by those free apps.
Shopping around for an IMEI unlock code yielded nothing less than US$24.50. That was until I turned to Ebay. There are several solutions offered there but the one that appealed at an unbeatable price and 100% success rate was from the seller "aprivate".
Your phone will be unlocked via USB with a few clicks of the mouse Instantly. Absolutely seamless service.
Head on over to ebay and search for the seller aprivate or check out their website UnlockClient.com Unlock solutions are NOT limited to the Skyrocket but you can get all your models unlocked their instantly too.
They have great offers which despite my extreme satisfaction is another reason that I am taking the time out to write this review.

Third party unlocking was made illegal in the us about 2 weeks or so ago..
Omg.
I am never going to use that phone in this country ever not even going to start the phone on any US carriers. After unlocking, I am sending it to my mom and she stays out of US.
Will that be okay?

Im not sure. If the phone was originally bought and sold in the us, then probably not, unless the original carrier were to unlock it. Was just mentioning that perhaps you had not gotten a reply from that site because they're figuring out their legal status, as well as if they can fulfill your order or must refund you.

I was also able to (after spending some time on hold) get an unlock code directly from AT&T. I do have an AT&T account, have been with them for a long time, and do NOT have a contract. I also bought the phone used.
This won't unlock your phone, but you can use it on Cricket or H2O Wireless - even though it's still locked to AT&T - for a LOT less money. $27.00 per month for H2O and $35.00 per month with Cricket - if you use the auto pay option. HTH.

They can be carrier unlocked after 1 year of service. If you have forgot to reload or run out of minutes, the timer restarts. This goes for straight talk and tracfone (as far as I know).
I also have a J7 Sky Pro and i really need it carrier unlocked and would like it rooted. I am currently figuring this thing out so i may be able to help.
anyone get anywhere on these tracphones yet???
here's a reply to the after one year unlock above, if I wanted to hear that I wouldn't be here. I OWN this phone, I have a receipt where I purchased the phone cash from a retailer. There was no agreement, issued, signed, nor agreed to what I had to do with the phone after I purchased it. If I choose to unlock it and use it on any network I choose including ones out of the USA, that is my business. Now as far as bootloader, ok it's unlocked, now what is the next move here??? Sorry to sound crass but if you can't add to the conversation with REAL information stay on the porch.
anyone have any luck with these j7 vl yet????

Tracfone security is tough. The only possible way to root it would be to find a leaked engineering firmware online somewhere and flash it to the phone. Then try king root. Also, unlocking would be kinda useless for this phone. The bands for this phone do not support ATT or Tmobile. It's a Verizon device since it ends in VL.
Now if you bought the 737TL version, unlocking would make more sense.
I'm samsung illiterate and really need help.
I hope I'm on the correct thread. I really need help. I won't use the correct terminology but hope someone is fluent in dumb blonde. My phone broke so I went to Wal-Mart and bought the j7 sky pro because it said it's powered by T-Mobile and that's my network. After powering on I was told my SIM wasn't valid. I googled the phone and learned about unlocking. So I went on YouTube to learn how only to discover that it's supposed to automatically show a screen asking for an unlock code. My phone however does no such thing. If I purchase an unlock code how do I enter it? It's really important because I have a 3 year old with special needs and in order to get to dr appointments for him we use uber but to install uber on my new phone I need a code to be sent via text and since my network is locked I can't receive texts. This could literally be a matter of life and death for my child. I can't afford another 100 dollar phone and without uber don't even have a way to get to a store to buy one. Any help would mean so much
Still no luck rooting this phone?

I'm trying how to root my phone as well, it's the same as yours. How did you unlock Bootloader? I can't find it anywhere, where did you find it?
I need to unlock the Carrier, is there is any way to do it
Still nothing for the phone? Don't care about unlocking th3 carrier bc it's NOT GOING TO CHANGE ANYTHING. I want root bc of many other things. Tons of crap on the phone that's unneeded as well as my love for xposed modules...someone possibly has a root file by now?

Where did you get the bootloader ing to flash at?
Type #83865625# (#TFUNLOCK#) and it will prompt for the unlock codes. Yes codes. There should be two of them. As for root, I am working on it. Ive come pretty close already but don't wait for me to do all the work, go find the engineering system or engroot and post it.
