i was wondering , browsing thru funkyhuawei page , and seems that they are able to provide bootloader code only using our imei and model number , seems promising , anyone can confirm or has tried their services?
I think there were several people here who confirmed it's working.

Hello guys!
Recently i unlock my Galaxy S using the Galaxy_S Unlock app from the market (i've read a thread about it here).
And i've been using my phone with Personal Argentina (a carrier from Argentina) for a few days now, but today i start getting the Phone not allowed MM#6 error.
I bought the phone in Canada, and it was locked for Rogers.
I have a few questions :
is this IMEI related?, i think that the unlock method does something to the IMEI, and i tried to restore the backup that i've created with the app, but it says that there's nothing to restore..
There is any known solutions?, i've been searching the forums but no one seems to know how to fix this issue.
I've also bought the DaGentooBoy App for unlocking the Phone (it was about 5 dollars), but it doesn't fix my problem.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT :
I just read this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863209
where should i post this question?
Omg this forum moves so fast, i'm at 3rd page already.
I'll up this thread one more time to see if anyone can help me.
I've done some attemps using this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881162
Before doing that i flash back to 2.1 stock using Odin, and after those steps i got this generic IMEI :
004999010640000
That;s not my Phone's IMEI, and it's blocked by the Carriers in Argentina, so i can't use my phone.
Any ideas?, maybe some keyword that i can search on Google?
Thanks!
I'm in Bolivia. I have a samsung galaxy s, I unlocked with SUperOneClick (for rooting) and sgs tool to unlock it. Then after using a local carrier for about two weeks my phone got the mm#6 error. I was looking for solutions, and then my brother realized that I have to register the phone with the line (IMEI with line). Here in Bolivia exists a law that block phones if they are not registered at someones name and Id. So with nothing to lose, I called assitance of the carrier and register the IMEI I found in the Android menu (About phone>status>IMEI) with the GSM chip/line I have. Wait for 20 minutes and voilá! phone got signal and it's working now. I hope still working from now and on. SO IF YOU HAVE THIS TROUBLE CALL YOUR CARRIER AND REGISTER YOUR PHONE'S IMEI WITH THE LINE YOU ARE USING, IT'S SIMPLE. YOU CAN TRY THAT BEFORE GETTING INTO SOFTWARE STUFF.
HOPE THIS HELP SOMEBODY.
GOOD LUCK!
hey guys this is my first andriod tablet, and i got one from saudia arabia, and i got no clue what region it is, anyway i tried looking for updates and the last is 3.0.1 no 3.2 found so i guess its not US

i tried to log in the xoom promo site, to recive my keyboard and mouse, the site opened without any issues, but when i enter the serial number it gives me an error, and when i log in the uk website to check the warrenty it states that my warrenty is valid till 5/2012.
anyway im looking in to finding my region please, so tell me how i can know it, as well as i rooted my phone, but how do i enter recovery mode, without using cmd, and finally if anyone can point me out to a thread to place custom roms
After I flashed new firmware, and Viper ROM. I now have a screen that says it cant find my country and i must enter a country name and code.
Also if I skip this I noticed that I no longer have Verizon apps on my phone.
Any help would be super!
Also I have very inexperienced so please be gentle
I used to playstore to download my messanger and my verizon account app so far they are working.
Just wondering about that country code stuff
PLEASE HELP !!!
None of the secret codes would run on my Galaxy S3 Verizon SCH-I535 (Android 4.4.2 ) .
Everytime I run a code it gives me an error message ( Connection problem or invalid MMI code).
Tried almost all secret codes but no avail, even the code to check the IMEI wont work and gives the same error message.
FYI - I got it unlocked in India.

Pretty sure dialer codes were disabled due to security concerns several years ago. Something about a particular one being used to factory reset phones. So, there's no way around that.

So what should I do to make them work on my phone ?
Kindly help, I would really be grateful of you.
It is weird that none of the secret codes would run on my phone & all I get to see is ( Connection problem or invalid MMI code), I have tried adding a "," after the code but it didnt work either.
What should I do ?

As stated in the previous post they were disabled years ago. There isn't a way to re-enable them

Hello everyone, I've been looking for some information about this Galaxy a51 (which I think it's a US version and I'm outside US) with the following features:
Model number: SM-S515DL
Android Version: 11
One UI version: 3.1
Baseband version: S515DLUDU8CUK1
Kernel version: 4.14.113-22754548
Service provider software version: SAOMC_SM-S515DL_TFN_TFV_RR_0015 TFV/TFV/TFN
Software update info version: S515DLUDU8CUK1 / S515DLTFN8CUK1 / S515DLUDU8CUK1
Security patch level: October 1, 2021
I got it from Amazon and it says it's a CDMA device, of course it is network locked and it's showing the invalid SIM card message. So I got a couple of questions hoping you can share your comments:
1. Is it possible to do a stock firmware flash and get rid of carrier content and locked SIM?
2. Can I use galaxy firmware.com files to do so? I see there is a S515DLUDU8CUK1 version with different region, if so which region to pick?
3. or maybe is it possible to do it by installing a custom ROM?
4. Could the z3x or octoplus unlock network? (I can't get the unlocking PIN or region screen)
There are still a lot of things to learn, unfortunately I saw there is not much info for this model on forum sections. I found mostly information for A515F and other variants of a51, could I just use them? is there any risk? Beyond the unlocking network I'd really like to try a custom rom and get rid of all the stuff it comes with.
Greetings!
Yeah, eveything should be possible, but you must change you language manually after setup, when you flash a different Firmware from another country or another region. If you flash a new Firmware you also should be able to unlock your bootloader and then you habe the Go for flashing every Rom you want. With a different Rom or Firmware you should be able to get rid of Carrier content etc.
Okay so far I've been using it as an offline device and it is just fine. I am waiting for SamKey to release the network unlock since it only supports binary 3 and below. I dunno which other software supports binary 8. My bootloader is locked it does not show up at developer options.
Anyway I am just playing games on it, watching videos and surfing the net with wifi. Just like they say if it's not broken don't fix it. I will just wait until this device gets more support and then I'd probably try roms and other stuff.

Not sure if it will get much support being from 2019. I'm not an expert with Androids but bought same models from Tracfone and with 60 days after activation they were eligible for unlock. They took IMEIs and sent email with two codes in it (different based on IMEI because for two of my devices they were different). after punching number it brought up the device unlock menu and after the two codes were entered got messages that they're unlocked. worked with different sim without an issue afterwards. Its currently up to Android 12 UI 4.1 as far as official updates.
