Hello all,..
I'm not sure if this is inappropriate but here goes....'ive just been asked by my brother in law to try and unlock his old phone as it's his all time favourite all rounder!, so I'm after the 3 mobile network unlock code for the gt-s8500.....the guy is very old and infirm so I'm sure this would make his day.......btw, I myself am an almost complete newb so any and all help would be really appreciated (that is unless you point me towards a 'pay for the privilege' site)

So i have made the upgrade from the HTC touch 3g to this lovely peice of kit! Bought it on eBay and it is currently branded and locked to Vodafone. Here are my few questions!
First of all! The bastard I have bought it off seems to have passworded the device and he doesn't know what the passcode is! How do I get past this little pickle?
Secondly. I understand one of you lovely people have a sim unlock proggy for this phone. How easy is it to unlock from vodafone UK to Orange UK? The guys in the phone shops would charge me £30 to unlock it!!!
Thirdly... can anyone recommend a good ROM to flash it to? I want to debrand the phone but I want the standard (or as close to it) original ROM.
Please go easy on me! We all started out life as n00bs! Any help would be much apprechiated!
Being a noob is a good reason to ask many questions - but not an excuse for such a poorly written post.
Please read the forum rules - especially points 1 & 3.
3. Post only using a clear subject and message.
1. Search before posting
However - i'm in a good mood today so:
To remove the passcode simply hard reset the phone (read the wiki for instructions)
To remove the sim lock look here
To choose which rom you want - please read the rom forum - there are lots to choose from and you will probably want to try a couple before you decide which one to stick with.
Ahh many thanks for starting me off and massive sorry for the poor post! I think i was in a rush when I received the package to get it up and running!
welcome n00b
.........don't worry we all where like you...once
a very long time ago

Hi, i couldn't find any other forum where i could post for this. Can someone please help me unlock this phone? I'm a proud owner of Xperia X10, Samsung was for my brother and i'm not very familiar with it, i've never owned a Samsung before.
I've found an unlock method from fastgsm which i would have to pay about 20$. However recently i got into some money problems and even that otherwise small amount seems huge right now.
Is there a way to unlock it for free, or at least cheaper? Big thanks and sorry if this is a wrong forum for this kind of question.
Cheers
so is there any free way to get this unlock code?
btw.. how is fastgsm.com? are they trustworthy? do they have good reputation? cheers
Guys,
Wonder of you can help me I have been looking for a sim-unlock code calculator for my phone. I was told the best place to go was here for a free solution but I cant seem to find anything the phone is as far as im aware an SDA2 and my IMEI is 355195030339286. I would really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks
And did a factory reset. When I did this, of course it had reactivation lock on, asking me to login to the Samsung account last used on device. of course I don't have, because well I bought the phone thinking I was getting a good deal :/ anyways, like I said im definitely new to all of this and to my understanding although it was a SPRINT device, it is possible to convert it to be used with a TMOBILE sim card and service.. I was told that rooting the device was what I needed to do inorder to use my TMOBILE service on the device. Which is exactly what ive been searching these forums and trying to get a straight answer on how to. Now the next problem is, I decided to check the IMEI and as you may have guessed, yes is indeed bad. It says reported lost/stolen. I know this also is only another hurdle on my road to happiness. Now, my question is, How do I go about flashing to a new IMEI, rooting my device, and going gsm to become tmobile compatable??? Please help somebody, thanks for reading all this I really am in a pickle and really don't want to be out the 300$ I paid for the phone. thanks
