* Power on without SIM
* Type in #7465625*638*
* A Dialog Box will appear. Enter your Unlock codeand press OK
* Device should say: “Successfully Disabled Locking Status” and press OK
* Your device has been unlocked.
*The 8 digit code can be obtained by calling AT&T Technical Support and given the representative the IMEI number. In exchange they will give you the Subsidy Unlock Code.
To obtain the IMEI number press *#06# on your mobile device.
the answer is there on the page

U can get the code as free. Number of websites are providing the services through online so u can. i found a website http://www.mobileunlockguide.com/ for the NOKIA,LG,SAMSUNG ETC., instructions AS FREE

the free omnia unlocker works on the Epix.

able to unlock using instructions from this howardforums.

Thank you. Won some BJ's on eBay and this came in handy.

Awesome! Just did this procedure on my Epix running trashcan's WM 6.5 ROM, no problems. Have not tested it with an alternate SIM but the status page shows all radio buttons set to "unlocked." Am looking to buy a used G1 on eBay and will probably pass the Epix to my son with a pre-paid account so he can phone or text me when he needs a pick-up from somewhere. Can other phones be unlocked with similar methods, not requiring either cooperation from a carrier or purchase of an unlock code?

This is what I used.. no need to purchase unlock code.
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1536343
I did it prior to updating to win 6.5 from trashcan. The link says before updating to a certain version.
So its good someone confirmed that it would work even after updating.

I can confirm that works. I did it in 6.1 and upgrade to 6.5 and still works

In order to make it easier for people to get access to downloads via KIES, or using another utility to access KIES downloads, it helps for us to have a record of as many HIDSWVER versions as possible.
You can obtain this from your Windows registry, in the key
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\7]
It should look something like:
"HIDSWVER"="I9100XWKE2/I9100O2UKE1/I9100XXKDJ/I9100XWKE2"
Please post your HIDSWVER in this thread, and note alongside it the status of your phone.
Once added, posts will be deleted, so we can keep this clean. Please don't ask questions or anything like that here- make a new thread so this is only posted in if a new code

[WIP] Registry hack to enable ICS settings on Samsung Omnia 7

Hello,
I own a Samsung Omnia 7 (no carrier locked) and mine is distributed without internet sharing availiable: this option is now shown on my phone.
Of course I tried all the hacks suggested here, but they do not work with this phone. Surfing this and other forums I decided to try to find a solution myself, and I would like to share my findings here, so to get some advices from more-expert-wp7-exploiters and to share, if I find, a solution.
My approach now is to surf the registry looking for the correct keys to change to enable it.
I am using, as source, the provxml (gen2) provided by voluptuary here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19083920&postcount=1
These are the steps I have in mind:
1- find and enable the show-up of "ICS" option in the settings menu surfing the reg
2- using the information in the above mentioned provxml file, try to use ICS.
Current knowledge (I just started)
- the "phone settings menu" items seem to be ruled by HKEY/Local Machine/Software/Microsoft/Settings: here I find all the descriptions of the items shown in the phone settings menù
I hope someone will cooperate with me, sharing knowledge.
Thanks,
p.s. if this thread is misplaced in this sub-forum, I sincerely apologize and ask to move it in the most appropriate one.

What exactly are you trying to do? I have enabled ICS on my Omnia7 through the registry just fine, though it needed some editing after 8107 update.

Hello,
thanks a lot for replying to this post.
I am trying to enable ICS on my Omnia W (not Omnia 7) which never had ICS (the option was not and is not present under my "Settings" page).
Using "WP7 Root Tools v0.9" I applied manually the registry settings found in the provxml (gen2) provided by voluptuary here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...20&postcount=1
(I must admit I was not able to add the "boolean" values, such as
Code:
<characteristic type="HotSpot">
<parm name="Enabled" datatype="boolean" value="true" />
because WP7 Root Tools does allows only for DWORD/String values)
but without success: I was not even able to have the ICS option shown up in the settings page.
Do you have any suggestion ?

The gen2 should work just fine on your Omnia W, I've personally used it on my mother-in-laws Focus Flash (same as Omnia W) and it worked just fine. The values in the provxml are all valid and correct to enable ICS so if you can't get it to work the it is something specific to your device that is going wrong. Basically if you can interop unlock to use Root Tools you can get ICS using my XAP.

It should works fine also on Omnia W/Focus Flash with the latest update installed? My friend can't activate ICS on his W with 8107...
I also have the W, but branded VOD-IT that comes with ICS enabled: if I revert back to 7740 and then I debrand and update via Zune to the 8107, will I loose the ICS service?
Thanks...

Depends on what firmware you have but if you can interop unlock then you can get ICS.

thanks a lot for taking time to help me.
In fact I am interop unlocked via windowsbreak,which uses the same provxml technique as your files, but when I apply yours, I do not see the "system tweaks" in the diagnosis app,I see only the standard ones plus windowbreak one,this is why I am trying with the manual approach.
I tried also uninstalling diagnosis and repeating the procedure from scratch, but I am stuck at the same point.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks again.

Did you update your phone after you used WindowsBreak? Cuz if you did that's your problem, you updated your firmware. If not... well then it should work.

Yes, I did updated my phone after the windows break, but I am still interop unlocked and I can still see the "windowbreak" inside the "GPS manager" diagnosis menù.
I applied manually all the registry settings in your gen2 provxml file, setting the boolean val as DWORDS (as suggested by drkfngthdragnlrd), but I still cannot see the ICS option in my settings menu.
Any clues ?

I'm in the same situation... If I restore the old firmware, then I enable ICS and finally I update my Windows Phone, the ICS still here?
And about the update to 8107 with cab sender, it broke future update on Omnia W... :S

ICS should still be there, infact if you update with CAB sender you can op to NOT install the firmware update. Just install the OS update. In order to ensure that you don't break future update you need to be sure to include all the language CAB's for the languages currently on your phone. If you do that you will be fine. Heathcliff74 has tools to help you figure out what CAB's you need to send over in his CAB update thread.

Sorry, I was wrong when I says that CAB sender brokes Samsung update on Omnia W.
I reverted back to 7720 and then updated to 8107 via Zune: then I've unbranded the phone to recive the Samsung update that returned the famous error 8018001E... So it's an incompatibility of the Samsung update with my (and other VOD-IT) Samsung Omnia W. Sorry for the OT and thanks...

HTC Titan (AT&T unlocked) Updates?

I recently bought two HTC Titans from the States. They were supposed to be unbranded thru Amazon, but AT&T ones arrived and then were unlocked and working. They both have ROM version 7720 loaded. Connecting through Zune, I get the message that software and phones are up to date. This is obviously incorrect as the following updates are missing: 8107, 8112, 8773. Doing some rearch, I understand that AT&T is not going to roll out any more updates for their phones, even though they are unlocked. I tried forcing the update (by diconnecting while updating) but to no avail. Can anybody please assist with some advice.
Is it true that if the updates are not up to date, then 7.8 won't load and update?
HTC managed to get me a UK ROM, but the file is in .nbf file format and they are scared it wont work on my phones. Should we try and update or is there another solution?
Your help will be greatly appreciated. I want to keep the phones as current as possible and able to accept WP7.8.
Region:South Africa

It's not known so far whether 7.8 will be only available if you've received all previous updates.
I don't think that the UK ROM would have issues, but it might result in problematic signal quality with the non-AT&T radio driver. You might want to HSPL the device and flash a custom ROM with that radio.
Also, be aware that you can force system updates on the phone using th cab sender method.

cab sender method sounds like the answer but seems so complicated if you are not so technicaly minded!

Don't worry, it sounds more complicated than it is. Just read through this thread very thoroughly.
It's really just about making a backup, download a few files (the updates), putting these in a folder, run this tool and press 2 keys. The guide there explains it very in-depth.
Be sure to not to skip the text, as you for instance will have issues if you don't update your languages, too.

Thanks for the encouragement. A few questions if I may please: Article talks about language packs - do these refer to Display language (English) or all keyboard languages?
Tried using Version and Language by Heathcliff74.xap, but phone gives message that it does not recognise file format.
Lastly, should I load all updates in sequence, or can I go straight to Tango (are the others necessay? I presume yes)
Thanks once again Cheers Calli

[Q] Korean Version SHV-370K - ROM/GroupPlay/ChatON

Hey people,
I recently purchased a Korean variant of the S4 Mini. The model is SHV-370K. To my findings, its equal to the main version I9195. Is that correct? I do have the NFC chip installed. My question is, can I flash an official ROM like the ones used in the I9195? I have to much KOREAN language apps and I dont think I am prepared to root it. If I can flash an official ROM on this via ODIN?, will I still be able to get the OTA? My current version is 4.2.2. And checking on Sammobile I have the latest. The Korean stuff is just to much of a hassel and I am not sure if I will even get an update. Can I flash an official ROM and not lose warranty and root?
My second question is that I cannot make Group Play work on 2 of these S4 Mini's. They just dont connect. It says Network Lost and sometimes failed to join group. I've tried working it over with NFC and Wifi Direct. Normal gallery pictures and everything send easy, just this app that I really really want to use. Would be great if some one would help me.
My last question is that ChatON keeps giving an Error while checking for push services. I have tried everything. Changed networks, tried Mobile Networks. All my apps are up to date, even the annoying Samsung Push Service. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much people.
Have a great day.
Oh and I think its Carrier Branded? Cuz it has this Olleh writen on its back cover?

So ChatON and Group Play is working after they have been updated most recently. I did update them before but they dint seem to work. The current updates work good. Any one about the ROM issue? Would love some help <3.

Hi guys,
Have you found any solution to this problem? I'm also an [almost] happy owner of a Korean-branded S4 Mini and as USSD codes don't work, was told that firmware needs to be changed. But this being specifically a Korean phone, I'm not sure other ROMs out there will even be 100% compatible.
Thanks,
Vit

Thanks, but I don't think I have to enter a password, since other phones work without it. Unless it's somehow phone-specific, but my operator reps would probably have told me (instead they just said the firmware needs to be changed). What secret menu are we talking about? perhaps aI could investigate. At any rate, if there someone has managed to flash the Korean version of the phone with a more "universal" firmware, I'd like to know. Thanks!

you don't need the menu for the ussd, korean version has their own set of ussd, they are different from the international version, some are the same , but most are different.

Please forgive me as I'm a total noob, but after your last reply it hit me: we're probably talking about different USSDs. I meant that my operator USSD codes didn't work, the ones that I send to find out my remaining balance and to also enable/disable services etc. (e.g. I would send *444#2#1 to find out my remaining balance), not the phone's own USSD codes (like the service menus etc, e.g. the IMEI check with *#06#). Operator USSD codes just don't work - the phone either sits trying to connect for a few minutes (locking the phone down during this time), or just says that the signal is too weak. So I guess I do need to install a different firmware to fully unlock it.
Thanks for trying to help though, I'm learning new stuff!

Mate I have the same problem here. The USSD codes just dont work. My balance check does work though. All I have noticed that USSDS that need two steps dont work. Example to transfer credits, I type *456# and in return it should ask me what number I need to transfer my credits, but it just doesnt work. I have tried the menu but no idea what that is all about. Still cannot find what to do.
Secondly I met some one at the forums who has the same device as ours. HE said installing Cynogen Mod is working and it doesnt effect us having a model of SHV something. LOL. So I dont know if I should go ahead and flash a custom rom. I would rather flash an official rom but no one is helping here and I cant seem to find any. Like maybe we could flash an english rom from UK. Something official like the normal I9195 have! Not some korean ones.

New Update.
Hey people! I just got an OTA update and all I see new is a Google Drive icon. The update is still on 4.2.2 and not 4.3. It was about 96mb of file size. How can I take out the changelog and read what bug fixes it brings?

hello
how to do I move from SHV or change the CSC code?
for now getting only the Korean pop up messages.
Want to change to Australia CSC code.

I've read about CSC Select app (on google play market), but I think you need root for this to work. I'm not an expert on that though.
Please write here if you manage to get any results (even if negative).
