[REF] How to unlock/unfreeze all SGS Models [NOW WORKS ON Vibrant 4G][Updated 4-9-11]

Vibrant 4G/SGS 4G manual method here
PRO App also works on Vibrant 4G/SGS 4G for anyone who doesn't feel comfortable with a hex editor
Do NOT try this or any other unlock method on the SC-02B Docomo phone. Please see thread here for progress on the SC-02B
Please note the same information used to develop the app is in the guide for free... the app just makes it easier
ALL METHODS FOR NEWER PHONES REQUIRE ROOT... PLEASE GO GET ROOT ON YOUR PHONE AND THEN COME BACK.
Oh and BTW... I cannot be held responsible for anything that happens to your phone.... EVER!
Before you start... if you don't have root you WILL need it unless you are on a really old version of android 2.1 (look in Appendix A for depreciated methods)
Step 1. - Retrieve nv_data.bin file
use "adb shell" or a terminal emulator to get a terminal prompt and run the following commands
Code:
su
cat /efs/nv_data.bin >> /sdcard/nv_data.bin
Step 2. - Edit nv_data.bin file
mount the internal SD Card on your computer
make a backup copy of the nv_data.bin file on your computer
using your favorite HEX editor open the nv_data.bin on the sdcard
jump to address 0x181468
you should see a string like this
ff 01 00 00 00 00 46 46
there are 5 different types of locks in 5 different bytes
the FF byte should be left alone
the first byte after the FF is the network lock
the next byte is the network subset lock
the next byte is the sp lock
the next byte is the cp lock
the last byte appears to be a data lock.
the 46 46 should be left alone
Change any 0x01 to 0x00 (or 0x00 to 0x01 to lock for warranty)
It should read ff 00 00 00 00 00 46 46 for unlocked
save and close file
unmount SD Card
Step 3. - Replace nv_data.bin file
I want to say it again so no one misses it MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR NV_DATA.BIN FILE BEFORE YOU CONTINUE!!!!!
use "adb shell" or a terminal emulator to get a terminal prompt and run the following commands
Code:
su
rm /efs/nv_data.bin
rm /efs/nv_data.bin.md5
cat /sdcard/nv_data.bin >> /efs/nv_data.bin
chmod 755 /efs/nv_data.bin
chown radio.radio /efs/nv_data.bin || chown 1001.1001 /efs/nv_data.bin
reboot
your phone is now unlocked... enjoy
[OPTIONAL] Use the PRO app [OPTIONAL]
Please note that this step is ONLY here for people that are not comfortable using a Hex editor.

This is just the thing I've been looking for. Thanks a lot. Just out of curiosity, why do you have to flash back to older firmware after entering the unlock code?

Yes, I usually go by the Mark0 nick but it was already used in the forum (IIRC).
I want also to thanks andars05 for a post he made that provided some inspiration.
Nice to see that the tool is proving to be useful!

Got "Permission denied" after su in step 1 - I've got rooted Captivate with stock firmware - I know that is probably problem with access to root account, but all apps are working properly with it. Any idea for solution?
I've Windows 7, tried running command line with administrator privileges, but it didn't helped.

Sorry That is what it took to unlock mine. I updated the first post... you don't have to do that if the code works.

Thanks so much, it worked on my Globe locked SGS (Philippines).
MAC users use 0xED Hex Editor and just search SSNV and you'll get your 8 digits unlock code.

[HOW TO] /efs Folder backup + Restore NV_DATA.BIN

I’ve compiled a quick guide to instruct how to make a copy of the /efs folder. I’ve found in many threads suggestions about backing up this folder but the methods itself are very general. Most of the times they suggest to “root and copy the folder” with Root Explorer or similar, but usually it’s not that easy or it just doesn't work for everyone (my case).
This guide ASUMES you have read this Excellent Guide by Darkstrikerfirst:
H E R E <-- Make sure to read the ADB Guide.
I recommend doing this with a Mobile just taken out of the box or with any Official ROM of its Service Provider. If you have already Flashed your phone with another ROM but its working fine, then you can use that /efs also.
Why the /efs folder?
This is a very sensitive system folder that contains Phone-specific information such as the IMEI (encrypted in the nv_data.bin), wireless devices MAC addresses, product code (also in the nv_data.bin), and much more. Often users trying to change product codes or trying to unlock the mobile will end up corrupting data in this location.
Why back it up?
Well, let’s resume it saying that backing-up this little folder will keep you away from Samsung service centers.
***WARNING: I take no responsibility to any damage caused by the methods cited and/or written here. Their sole purpose is to back-up data and not to alter in any way the integrity of the original files of the mobile***
Please don’t ask how to recover your IMEI if you have previously messed your SGS without backing up this folder. I’m not familiar with such methods plus it is UNRELATED to this thread.
What you will need:
Rooted SGS to get permissions as a SU (Super User) and perform the backup
I would suggest learning a little about the terminal commands used (in case you are not familiar with them), as it’s better to know what you are doing rather than typing strings like a little chimp without knowing what they are; if you are a little lazy, then you have a good chance bricking your mobile.<- Busybox Commands(or Google them)
Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich (available from the market) <-Terminal Emulator or use ADB which is included in the SDK Development Tools
IMPORTANT: If getting "error: device not found" under ADB (happened to me under CM7 2.3.4), you need to update your ADB drivers. Go HERE and follow the instructions to download the USB Driver for Windows, Revision 4 (Nexus S Support). Then update the drivers under your Windows Device Manager.
--------------------------------------
Backup commands
--------------------------------------
Depending on the type of root, you might have to use “busybox” at the beginning of the sting or just the string:
The standard prompt of terminal (adb) is a $ sign. Once you enter “SU” it will become a # Sign.
***NOTE: Make sure to keep an eye on the screen of your SGS during this process, because it will request SU permissions; else, you will get an error (just if it’s the first time). In Terminal Emulator you will need to reset the app after granting permissions cause it usually freezes***
*Remember: to use ADB you need to enable USB DEBUGGING under Applications/Development in your SGS. Once you are finished with the files, you need to turn it off so you can get the files.
Code:
su
tar zcvf /sdcard/efs-backup.tar.gz /efs or
busybox tar zcvf /sdcard/efs-backup.tar.gz /efs
After this, you will end up with the file efs-backup.tar.gz in your INTERNAL SDCARD, which is a “tarball” or a ZIP of the /efs folder. That file is your backup. You can expand it with Winrar.
In another forum I also saw a recommendation to back up the st13 under /dev/block which can support greatly to recoveryour IMEI in case of a screw-up:
Code:
su
cat /dev/block/stl3 > /sdcard/efs_dev-block-stl3.img or
busybox cat /dev/block/stl3 > /sdcard/efs_dev-block-stl3.img
Same thing, the target is the INTERNAL SDCARD, so go ahead and copy the file.
----------------------------
nv_data.bin - Restore
----------------------------
In case you screwed your IMEI by playing with the nv_data.bin and you are experiencing issues like:
Fake IMEI (usually 004999010640000)
Unable to download apps from the market
Unable to unlock your SIM card using your PIN
Weird apps are downloading automatically from the market
Blinking SIM card icon on the top tray… ETC
You may want to upload your fresh copy of this file back to the phone. Use this commands:
(thanks to Methyldioxide method to recover the product code http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780509 )
Copy the file from your backup (efs-backup.tar.gz) and paste it in the INTERNAL SDCARD:
Code:
cp /sdcard/nv_data.bin /efs/nv_data.bin
rm -rf /efs/nv_data.bin.md5 OR
busybox rm -rf /efs/nv_data.bin.md5
Reboot your SGS
The md5 hash/signature is removed (rm) as the system will generate a new one.
**Most likely your SIM code won’t work after this and you won’t be able to log into the phone**
Pop off your SIM card, boot your SGS and execute the following commands to change ownership of the file under ADB or Terminal as well:
Code:
su
busybox chown 1001:1001 /efs/nv_data.bin or
chown 1001:1001 /efs/nv_data.bin
Hope this can help anyone with doubts. Cheers!

An alternative to the backup part is to use Root Explorer and zip the whole /efs folder onto your external sd card. (or wherever you want)

How about a method to restore the IMEI if you never had a good back up to begin with ?

funny thing
the other day i messed up nv_data.bak trying to get my old product code back
the phone would not recognise the sim card
i deleted the whole /efs folder and the phone made a new one
i got my imei but no product code
sim card started working everything looked ok appart from sgs tools reporting nothing as phone !?!
i did restore /efs from a backup i had and then my product code came back
weird though
I was on jpo when all this happened

@EarlZ - I myself was a victim of this, but I managed to make a duplicate of my nv_data.bin as per instructions of the guide that I was following to unlock my SGS.
The only "tip" that I can give you (geez.. Im going against my own disclaimer lol ) is to try to flash it back to JM1 or the earliest release of your mobile. I think I remember to get my IMEI back doing this, but then lost it flashing to a newer ROM. AGAIN, my "research" didn't go past this as I managed to get my IMEI back, reason why I got inspired to throw this little guide.
Hope this can get you started on your IMEI recovery journey.
Cheers mate.

The restore should also be done with tar - in this way you won't lose the permissions on the files.

Just for future reference (in case I need it ) can you give us the full command line?
Thanks

Thanks for the HowTo.
I ended up deleting my nv_data files in order to restore the backup files to get back the orig product code. As far as I can tell, it worked perfectly.
Code:
busybox rm -rf /efs/nv_data.bin
busybox rm -rf /efs/nv_data.bin.md5

In case you really boink your EFS
I wanted to add a small piece to this thread that not really consolidated anywhere I can fine. I toasted my /EFS yesterday - to the point of no cellular unless I was at JF6. I couldn't use tar because I'd get "out of room" errors and "numerical value out of range". I mean I SERIOUSLY borked the /EFS. But then I've been flashing this phone from the day it was available from AT&T.
I used ODIN to restore my /EFS. I have a permanent generic IMEI.
There are several good threads on backup of the /EFS, but not on restoring. If you follow the OP post to backup, here's a good discussion on how to restore.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882039
What wasn't clear in Da_G's thread is the you don't have to use DD to use ODIN to restore. There's no discussion on using the .img file to restore. That's scattered across a couple of threads and lots of reading. I'm not a linux guy, so I had to figure this out. . . .
Deep in rotohammer's following thread, there is a discussion about using a cat .img file to do create an ODIN .rfs file that allows you to restore from ODIN.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850359
So here's what I did to restore my /EFS to functional. You MUST have a backup of your functional /EFS using either dd or cat and ADB installed.
On your PC do the following:
c:\Android\tools> adb shell
$ su (you're now on your phones Android command line; watch your home screen on the phone in case Superuser comes up asking for permission)
#
Now we're going to take the efs_folder_backup_stl3.img that you did with the cat file and make it usable by ODIN. Change directory locations to your cat .img location. Mine is on /sdcard/external_sd/.
#cd /sdcard/external_sd/
#busybox cat efs_folder_backup_stl3.img > /sdcard/efs.rfs (this is the key step!!)
# cd /sdcard
# tar -cf efs.tar efs.rfs
# exit
$ exit
Now your back at your PC. Do the following step to get the .tar file off your phone.
c:\Android\tools> adb pull /sdcard/efs.tar
Almost done. Move the efs.tar file to the same direction as ODIN and the follow the last directions in Da_G's thread. I'll post them below for just for clarity.
"Now, get into download mode, open odin, stick efs.tar in PDA slot, and press start. Bam! EFS fixed"
This worked for me, several times. Once you have the /EFS directory in ODIN flashable tar format - you really have to work hard to brick your phone.
Hope this helps!

If I flash back to stock using ODIN, would that also put things back to right ?

@bsc7080xsc
It should. You might have to do a factory reset if the device shows as locked, but otherwise it's worked for me many times.

Hi
backedup my efs folder through this thread in combination with roto.
cellgeek in your post you say : " busybox cat efs_folder_backup_stl3.img > /sdcard/efs.rfs (this is the key step!!)"
But i never made an .img file/folder.
both the dd and cat created an rfs file which i turned to tar.
am i missing a step?
thank you for your little extra guide.

that's a very useful Candanga
several times saved my ass
thanks !

Thank you VERY much OP, that worked for me

Sorry to revive if this is old;
Why won't rm -rf /efs/nv_data.bin.md5 work in terminal? It gives me an error along the lines of this is a read-only file etc?

[provider unlock] samsung galaxy 551 GT-i5510

Hi,
I have purchased a 5510 for one of my parents, without Contract, but blocked by a French provider: "Bouygues Telecom".
I think that's going to be easy to unlock, but I have not yet find how.
The phone has been flashed on the latest stock rom samsung (samfirmware) and it is not root.
if the root is necessary, what app or software is needed? and how to unlock?
ps: as a purchase without Contract, I can not ask my provider to unlock it.

[solved]
this solution works for me with the last rom samsung and rooted by "SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse".
it's in french, so good luck with google translate!

I can confirm this works on my I5510M from Bell Mobility. I just tried it using a TELUS sim card.
Here are the steps I took:
0. Type in dial pad *#7465625#, make sure network lock is [ON]... if not you're not simlocked
1. If phone is not rooted, download SuperOneClickv2.2-ShortFuse.zip from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
2. Connect the phone to your computer using, windows 7 installed the correct drivers for me
3. Once the drivers are installed, disconnect your phone
4. Open SuperOneClick
5. Reconnect your phone to the computer
6. Press Root in SuperOneClick... wait for it to finish (may take ~2-5 min)
7. Your phone is now rooted, hooray
8. Make sure your phone is in debug mode. Settings > Applications > Developer > Debug Mode
9. Copy ADB folder from SuperOneClick folder to C:\
10. Open command prompt (start > run > cmd)
11. Type in the following commands:
Code:
cd C:/adb (navigate to the adb folder you just placed)
adb devices (to verify device is connected)
adb shell
su
cat /dev/bml5>/sdcard/bml5.img (thats an "L" not a "one")
exit
You just copied bml5 binary to the root of your sdcard. If you get access denied, your phone was not properly rooted, try again.
12. Mount your SDCard and copy bml5.img to your desktop
13. Download HexEdit here: http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~prewett/hexedit/
14. Open bml5.img in HexEdit
15. Press FIND, select HEX, and paste in "FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30" (without quotes), then press OK
16. It should find the hex sequence, look to the right pane of HexEdit and you'll see an 8-digit numeric code (mine was split over two lines). This is your sim unlock code. Write down this code.
17. Turn off your phone
18. Place another networks simcard in your phone, and turn your phone back on
19. After it boots, it'll say this phone is network locked, and prompt for an unlock code... type the code found in step 16
20. If it doesn't prompt type in in the dialer: #7465625*638*# then type in your code
21. It should unlock no problem
22. Double check by typing *#7465625# in the dialer and making sure Network Lock is [OFF]
Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers.

1. If phone is not rooted, download SuperOneClickv2.2-ShortFuse.zip from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
2. Connect the phone to your computer using, windows 7 installed the correct drivers for me
3. Once the drivers are installed, disconnect your phone
4. Open SuperOneClick
5. Reconnect your phone to the computer
6. Press Root in SuperOneClick... wait for it to finish (may take ~2-5 min)
7. Your phone is now rooted, hooray
8. Make sure your phone is in debug mode. Settings > Applications > Developer > Debug Mode
9. Copy ADB folder from SuperOneClick folder to C:\
10. Open command prompt (start > run > cmd)
11. Type in the following commands:
Code:
cd C:/adb (navigate to the adb folder you just placed)
adb devices (to verify device is connected)
adb shell
su
cat /dev/bml5>/sdcard/bml5.img (thats an "L" not a "one")
exit
You just copied bml5 binary to the root of your sdcard. If you get access denied, your phone was not properly rooted, try again.
12. Mount your SDCard and copy bml5.img to your desktop
13. Download HexEdit here: http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~prewett/hexedit/
14. Open bml5.img in HexEdit
15. Press FIND, select HEX, and paste in "FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30" (without quotes), then press OK
16. It should find the hex sequence, look to the right pane of HexEdit and you'll see an 8-digit numeric code (mine was split over two lines). This is your sim unlock code. Write down this code.
17. Turn off your phone
18. Place another networks simcard in your phone, and turn your phone back on
19. After it boots, it'll say this phone is network locked, and prompt for an unlock code... type the code found in step 16
20. If it doesn't prompt type in in the dialer: #7465625*638*# then type in your code
21. It should unlock no problem
22. Double check by typing *#7465625# in the dialer and making sure Network Lock is [OFF]
Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers.

Thanks, I can find the hexstrings 24 times in the image file but none of them has a 8 digit numeric string close by.

For unlocking purpose I need to copy /dev/bml15, I was able to access it but after flashing I can't access it any more,any ideas?
/dev/bml15: No such device or address
thanks.

I found it a few lines up from where the first occurrence of the string was. In the Hex editor, try scrolling up a few lines and see if there's an 8 digit code that isn't 00000000 - my stuck out like a sore thumb once I went back a few lines.

Are you trying to copy /dev/bml15 or /dev/bml5? The instructions I followed were for /dev/bml5 and that worked for my phone.
Colin

Why i can't find the 8 digit numbers ?

that's awesome !!! was able to do mine.. I'm too happy to search for this thing as i was going to pay for the unlock... Thanks for sharing this buddy !!

thanks for the guide

Another Bell success story
My wife is on Bell and I'm on Telus. The only reason she hasn't switched is that Telus doesn't have a QWERTY phone she likes. These instructions worked flawlessly on her 551. XP found and installed the drivers with no problems. I used ES File Manager to copy bml5.img from the SD card to a shared folder on the XP machine via WiFi. When I ran the hex editor there was only one match for the hex search string and I scrolled up 2 lines and saw the code. I popped my Telus SIM in her phone and when it powered up it prompted me for an unlock code. I entered the code and made a couple of test calls.
I have attached a prtscr of the hex editor with the search string hilighted. Note that it's repeated 3 times and the scroll bar shows it's near the end of the file.

greetings and thanks...
Excellent contribution, I have a GT-I5510L and follow his footsteps, at first the computer gave me two errors but it was nothing serious, and then did the miracle, but the hex editor to use was the XVI32, I saw a little more faster and easier to use.

I can vouch that this method works great. Purchased a Bell branded phone for my wife (she broke her S3), followed the steps and voila!
Kudos.

I get in hexeditor this messge
search string not found
what can i do please !?

Read Only?
when I do the command "cat /dev/bml5>/sdcard/bml5.img" I get an error saying "cannot create /sdcard/bml5.img: read-only file system"
Help anyone?! xD

THANKS JT-ON!
Grandpa needed simple phone for just making phone call, I had 551 collecting dust but those online unlocking sites were asking $25~$30 for unlock code, which is probably more than what phone is worth...
unlocked mine following your instruction!
just want let everyone this works but you have to use HexEdit, nothing else.
URL on JT's guide is not working, i downloaded some other random Hex reader and it did not find the FF FF 30 30....
I found HexEdit from some other site and it found FF FF 30 30 sequence no problem.

[Q] How do I get a £ sign with CM7 on a UK DZ?

Hi there,
Recently converted to CM7 after years of Sense ROMs and I'm loving it. But I have one question, how do I make FN-z on the physical keyboard produce a £ sign?
I've got the keyboard language set to English (United Kingdom) but that doesn't seem to make any difference.
Regards,
Richard

Change the characterlayout in /system/usr/keychars
In all *.kcm files add these lines to the Z key:
Code:
alt: '\u00A3'
shift+alt:'\u00A3'
To make it look like this:
Code:
key Z {
label:'Z'
base:'z'
shift, capslock:'Z'
alt: '\u00A3'
shift+alt:'\u00A3'
}
Do so in all files, to make sure it's loaded whatever keyboard file you're using.

Ah, I notice this is the case in MIUI roms as well.
Would this work there also? I see the kcm files are bin files, how exactly are we editing them, just open as text file I assume?

It should work on any custom rom, unless the keymapping is done diffrent then usally. Just try it, and if it doesn't work or your phone won't start anymore (enters a bootloop) , just reflash your custom rom, without wiping. Then only homescreen settings and system settings will get lost. Personal and data settings will not be touched.

Just to confirm though, are you editing it as a txt file or what? I have no knowledge of editing bin files which the kcm files seem to be.
Eg: vision-keypad-ell.kcm.bin

As textfile yes, but they should be just plain *.kcm files, not *.bin as I believe, let me check that, to be sure.
--Edit:
They are just *.kcm, not *.bin, but I'm not sure how that's done in other Roms..
If there are only *.bin files, then I don't know how to edit those.. I know that *.kcm can be edited as plain text file.

Cool, I'll look into it.
I notice you put '*.kcm'. My memory is failing me but doesn't this mean hidden files? In which case I didn't look for them.
EDIT: Nah just looked, they are all BIN files. Looks like MIUI does things differently.
Oh well.

The star doesn't mean they're hidden, it is a joker sign. Just means all filenames that end with .kcm (wich is the extention). The .bin files are packed files, binary files. But I can't remember how to edit those as plain text... Try to do it with something like hexeditor on the pc.

All the files that I have in the folder you specified are *.kcm.bin. I guess I need to find the .kcm source files some where and compile them?

You can pull them from your phone with adb. Then edit them with a program like hexeditor.
I can't explain how, as I do not have any *.bin files on my phone or other rom.
If I can find one somewhere in a download or something (you are on CM7 if I'm right) I'll post instructions tomorrow about how to do it. If you'd like me to, that is.

HOW TO: remap the £ back to FN+Z
Okay here we go.
Before we begin, I suppose that you all know how to set up an adb session with your phone..
And you need this program to be installed on your PC:
Free Hex Editor Neo
You should make a backup of your current working ROM with your favorite recovery, so if something goes wrong, you can just reflash the backup, instead of loosing all your data and settings.
Now start a cmd prompt on your pc (Windowskey+R, type "cmd" hit enter)
browse to your platform-tools directory (cd path-to-platformtools)
Make sure your phone is connected:
Code:
adb devices
And execute these lines:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
exit
You can now read and write to the /system folder on your phone.
Next you need to pull the *.kcm.bin file you'd like to edit. (For the OP this is most likely the "vision-keypad.kcm.bin" or the "vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin", but if they aren't the ones used.. then try and edit the "qwerty.kcm.bin" or "generic.kcm.bin" files)
This is done by entering the following:
Code:
adb pull /system/usr/keychars/vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin /tmp/vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin
Or one of the many other files if this one isn't working.
Minimize the cmd screen for now and browse on your computer to the platform-tools folder (or the folder where you executed the adb from) there should be an new folder called "tmp", in that folder you'll find the file you just pulled from your phone.
Hit it with a right mouse-click and click "Edit with HDD Hex Editor Neo". (If that option is not available, start the Hex Editor and open the file from within the editor)
The first row and columns are blue, except for the first one on the far left-top side, this one is white.
Click it and type: "0000027c" and hit enter.
Now there are some hexadecimals selected in green. On the far right side of that row should be something like this: "6...Z.9.z.Z"
(If that isn't the case, find the line that does look like that and edit that line)
In the green field you've got, change the value to: "a3" (just type)
The cursor will automatically go to the next value, which is "00" leave that.
Press the arrow-key to the right once and edit that value to "a3" as well.
The field on the right side should now display something like: "6...Z.9.z.Z.£.£."
That's it, save the file and push it back to your phone by entering the following in the cmd window you minimized:
Code:
adb push /tmp/vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars/vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin
Then restart the phone and it should be working!
----
I used the file in the .zip attached as my example file, to see how to do it.

Where do you get the list of codes ? Need the Euro Symbol code ? __=€
Thanks
Edit google is my friend,tried 80 which shows in my file but just get a blank keypress?

The Euro € sign is set in the X key.
That line is: "4...X.x.X."
If you want it in the Z key, type "0000027c" in the left top box and hit enter, type "ac20ac20" That'll give you the euro sign. Then the field on the right looks like this: "6...Z.z.Z.- - "
If you want it in the X key, type "0000025c" in the left top box and hit enter, type "ac20ac20" That'll give you the euro sign. (string on the right looks like: "4...X.x.X.- - ")

Thanks for that!
It'll be fun trying this on Linux.
I'll let you know how I get on when I find the time.

For linux you can do the same as you need to do for windows. The only thing is that you have to find software which can edit binary files. A nice GUI based editor is ghex.
it's available in the universe repository.
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install ghex

Lineaira,
Thanks for this info. It worked fine! I now have a GBP sign on Fn-Z.

Richard

Easier way. Download the attached file, unzip it and place the contained file on the root of your sdcard, then type in the following commands using Terminal Emulator:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
busybox cp /sdcard/vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars
reboot
Found this over at the Cyanogenmod forums ages ago

[TUTORIAL] Unlocking(relocking) Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i

At the beginning, i gave my girlfriend a galaxy ace GT-S5830i.
My Network is the Telenor, Her is the T-Mobile.
So i wanted to unlock it..
All the methods of the GT-S5830 isnt worked.
After few long days, ive found a relock method (Network Provider Change (not unlock))
Progies, you need:
- Android SDK (or simply an ADB environment, below uploaded)
- KIES (only for the drivers)
- Root file(below uploaded)
- Hex editor(Below uploaded)
First you have to root your phone.
- Copy the update.zip to SD card
- Turn off phone
- Press and hold the Home button, and the volume up button.
- Press and hold the power button, until the Galaxy Ace text appears and disappears.
- When disappears, release only the power button...
- Wait until the Galaxy Ace text appears and turns into bright yellow.
- Release all the buttons, and the recovery comes up.
-Choose the apply update from SD card, then choose the zip, you copied.
reboot your phone...
Alright, Here comes the relock procedure
- First make sure, the usb debug is turned on...
[Settings>applications>Development>USB Debugging]
and the drivers are installed correctly (if it isn't, then install KIES)
- exrtact the ADB.zip from below to C:\
- Open Start Menu, then open Run command, and write here :
cmd
Then a command prompt comes up..
The commands:
Code:
c:
cd adb
adb shell
su !! A SU windows pops up in your phone.. Allow it !!
cat dev/block/bml15 > /data/local/bml15.bin
exit
exit
adb pull data/local/
Open this link:
h t t p :// en . wikipedia . org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code [remove the spaces]
Search for your current MCC and MNC.
and the provider, you wanted to change to.
write it down. First the MCC and then the MNC
For example i'd like to change from hungarian Telenor to hungarian T-Mobile
So for the hungarian telenor's MCC is 216 and MNC is 01 => 21601
and the hungarian T-Mobile's MCC is 216 and MNC is 30 => 21630
Extract the XVI32, you downloaded.
open it, and open the bml15.bin in your C:\ADB
Press ctrl+F
At the Text String line enter your code (my example code is: 21601)
press ok
Change it to your next code (My example next code is: 21630)
Save it as bml15_unlocked.bin
Then open your command prompt again.
Code:
c:
cd adb
adb push bml15_unlocked.bin /data/local/bml15_unlocked
adb shell
su
dd if=/data/local/bml15_unlocked of=/dev/bml15
exit
exit
Reboot your phone with the new sim card

Great post Cuii easy to follow!
I was able to pull the bml15.bin. But now when I opened it, I have trouble finding the unlocking code. It doesn't seem tho match the wikipage
Can someone tell me on which line the code can be found? It's mentioned in XVI32 on the left (in hexadecimal) and on the bottom in decimal address.
Thanks!
<edit> : never mind it turned out my new phone was already simlock free !!! it was supposed to be simlock at delivery. I guess my provider made a mistake

Thanks this has saved my mates phone (he imported it was supposed to be unlocked but it wasnt). I tried every other procedure without success but this worked. Cheers

very nice tutorial keep sharing THANKS!!!!

Did not work
Hello I tried the rooting as suggested and my phone does not turn on now. All it does is flash, I tried to flash my phone and still does the same thing after it reboots. Odin says that it passes but it still does not.
Any suggestions?

thanks

I know you said not to say thanks but are you aware of the heartache you save some ppl who are trying to unlock their phones, not to mention time. I spent hours trying to unlock my 5830i with the Root, Busybox, Galaxy Unlock method all to no avail, I kept getting that the unlock code was "or or or or" with no actual codes showing. I had convinced myself my phone could not be unlocked because of the i after the 5830 as everybody with a std 5830 seemed to be doing fine, that was until I found your great app. To be honest I have not donated as things are not that great but I will. :good:

Thanks a lot!
Succesfully unlocked my 5830.
